1
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:14,480
Beautiful.

2
00:02:07,310 --> 00:02:09,009
They command the Pope himself to run.

3
00:02:09,389 --> 00:02:10,389
Why not?

4
00:02:11,330 --> 00:02:12,890
The Pope owes you money.

5
00:02:28,730 --> 00:02:30,270
Stop it!

6
00:02:30,490 --> 00:02:31,990
You all know he was a tyrant!

7
00:02:32,230 --> 00:02:34,050
He ruined anyone that got in his way!

8
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:12,100
Florence, home of Giovanni Medici, they
could never repay in

9
00:03:12,100 --> 00:03:13,100
gold.

10
00:03:13,660 --> 00:03:20,480
The Lord blessed his family with great
wealth, yet he acted

11
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,140
not from greed, but from conviction.

12
00:03:24,500 --> 00:03:31,440
Conviction that wealth was not to be
hoarded by the few, but used

13
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,060
to provide for the many.

14
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:40,440
Strong.

15
00:04:13,070 --> 00:04:14,070
Care for some wine?

16
00:04:14,810 --> 00:04:16,510
I think we could all use a glass.

17
00:04:17,149 --> 00:04:18,230
Go drink elsewhere.

18
00:04:19,130 --> 00:04:20,130
With pleasure.

19
00:04:20,649 --> 00:04:25,730
As soon as you tell me what your friend
here whispered in your ear, it's none of

20
00:04:25,730 --> 00:04:26,730
your concern.

21
00:04:26,750 --> 00:04:31,310
If it is to do with this family, Cosimo,
it is very much my concern.

22
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:47,440
Father was murdered.

23
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,180
What? He always tasted the grapes on his
morning walks.

24
00:04:55,860 --> 00:04:58,320
Only this time they were painted with
the hemlock.

25
00:04:59,700 --> 00:05:02,140
Walker had the surgeon study his liver,
to be sure.

26
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:04,340
Do you know who did it?

27
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,500
Power breathed the enemy.

28
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:08,960
Your father had many.

29
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,840
None greater than our Beatty. He's
always hated us.

30
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,040
Not always.

31
00:05:19,850 --> 00:05:23,470
We must inform this in your ear. We must
be nothing of the kind.

32
00:05:23,770 --> 00:05:25,150
Did father teach you nothing?

33
00:05:26,470 --> 00:05:27,470
Perception is power.

34
00:05:28,430 --> 00:05:32,270
And we must appear powerful now more
than ever. His murder demands justice,

35
00:05:32,430 --> 00:05:33,430
Cosimo.

36
00:05:34,370 --> 00:05:36,950
Alerting his killer will only make him
harder to catch.

37
00:05:38,450 --> 00:05:39,750
I will have justice.

38
00:05:41,010 --> 00:05:42,170
Once I know who did it.

39
00:05:48,810 --> 00:05:50,450
You never did have your girl, what of
you?

40
00:05:51,150 --> 00:05:52,150
Yeah, checked her out.

41
00:05:58,330 --> 00:05:59,330
It's from LBT.

42
00:06:01,950 --> 00:06:03,590
He wants to meet at the Fuling Mill.

43
00:06:17,230 --> 00:06:21,070
Strange that you would ask to meet here.
This old mill is where it all started,

44
00:06:21,150 --> 00:06:22,150
isn't it?

45
00:06:22,310 --> 00:06:25,570
Your father began his climb from peasant
to monarch.

46
00:06:25,830 --> 00:06:27,550
And my father held no such title.

47
00:06:28,370 --> 00:06:30,870
Giovanni de' Medici was far too clever
to claim a title.

48
00:06:31,910 --> 00:06:34,550
Everyone knows he ruled with focals upon
them.

49
00:06:34,770 --> 00:06:39,050
He lined the people's pockets and gave
them a voice just loud enough to make

50
00:06:39,050 --> 00:06:41,650
them feel strong. What is it you want in
Ollum?

51
00:06:42,750 --> 00:06:44,390
His position in the signoria.

52
00:06:46,830 --> 00:06:50,950
A replacement will be selected tomorrow,
and I expect it to be you.

53
00:06:51,810 --> 00:06:55,370
If I am so fortunate to have my name
drawn at random.

54
00:06:55,990 --> 00:07:00,890
Random, yet remarkably, the restricted
council is always seated with a name

55
00:07:00,890 --> 00:07:01,890
loyal to the marriage.

56
00:07:07,610 --> 00:07:11,790
My family has had differences with
yours.

57
00:07:13,770 --> 00:07:16,750
It matters that the signoria, at least,
we had an understanding with your

58
00:07:16,750 --> 00:07:20,990
father. He did not challenge the
established order. And you're here to

59
00:07:20,990 --> 00:07:21,990
that I won't either.

60
00:07:25,650 --> 00:07:27,750
I am my father's son.

61
00:07:31,130 --> 00:07:32,570
It's not quite a no, is it?

62
00:07:35,390 --> 00:07:37,450
You certainly are your father's son,
Cosimo.

63
00:07:39,290 --> 00:07:41,750
I fear you're even more your father than
he was.

64
00:07:54,030 --> 00:07:58,130
If you challenge us, your children will
be back at this mill selling filthy wool

65
00:07:58,130 --> 00:07:59,770
like your late father.

66
00:08:23,660 --> 00:08:24,940
Hiro, are you quite all right?

67
00:08:25,900 --> 00:08:26,900
I'm fine, Grandma.

68
00:08:27,140 --> 00:08:30,940
Then stop making a spectacle of yourself
with those tears. Your grandfather

69
00:08:30,940 --> 00:08:32,659
would want you to show strength.

70
00:08:40,179 --> 00:08:41,220
Where is my son?

71
00:08:41,580 --> 00:08:44,220
He went out this morning. I asked, where
is he?

72
00:08:44,540 --> 00:08:46,700
In a meeting, Mother. Mark's brother's
gone to find him.

73
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:49,440
Missing dinner.

74
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,460
His father's not been in the grave one
day.

75
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,040
And already he neglects his family.

76
00:09:05,340 --> 00:09:07,700
Have you seen him?

77
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,820
I'm concerned about you, Cosimo. Fine.

78
00:10:25,420 --> 00:10:26,800
You vanished for hours.

79
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,800
What happened this afternoon with
Marcobello and Lorenzo?

80
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:34,760
Nothing of importance.

81
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,460
There's always been a distance between
us, Cosimo.

82
00:10:44,340 --> 00:10:48,640
But I've been a good and loyal wife
these many years, and now you bear a

83
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:49,640
burden.

84
00:10:51,150 --> 00:10:53,690
The weight of this family, this bank,
this republic.

85
00:11:02,510 --> 00:11:04,410
It would be enough to break another man.

86
00:11:08,750 --> 00:11:10,910
If you would allow me, I could help to
lessen it.

87
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:27,640
Where's your brother?

88
00:12:30,060 --> 00:12:31,060
He had known.

89
00:12:34,740 --> 00:12:38,160
I'm late.

90
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,160
You're late? No, it's late.

91
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:44,900
That means I'm late.

92
00:13:08,270 --> 00:13:09,270
Sorry, Father.

93
00:13:10,690 --> 00:13:12,330
Sorry. Is it new?

94
00:13:14,990 --> 00:13:15,990
Your cloak.

95
00:13:17,210 --> 00:13:18,210
Is it new?

96
00:13:22,690 --> 00:13:23,690
Yes.

97
00:13:25,390 --> 00:13:27,010
Very nice. May I see it?

98
00:13:27,710 --> 00:13:28,710
Of course.

99
00:13:31,450 --> 00:13:33,090
Very fine.

100
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,340
My father would sell wool like this, but
only to the wealthiest. No.

101
00:13:39,740 --> 00:13:40,820
What? No.

102
00:13:41,560 --> 00:13:43,680
No. No, no, no, no.

103
00:13:44,620 --> 00:13:46,200
That will be all we'll call it.

104
00:13:52,260 --> 00:13:56,700
What did you do that for? The Medici do
not call attention to themselves with

105
00:13:56,700 --> 00:13:57,700
fancy dress.

106
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,420
I have money. Why not enjoy it?

107
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:03,940
You have my money.

108
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,040
Turn it up!

109
00:14:27,460 --> 00:14:28,940
You wanted to see us, Father?

110
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,160
Yes.

111
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,260
This is a letter from Rome.

112
00:14:32,820 --> 00:14:34,120
The Pope has died.

113
00:14:34,660 --> 00:14:37,720
The courier will act swiftly to replace
him.

114
00:14:39,100 --> 00:14:40,520
How does this concern us?

115
00:14:40,820 --> 00:14:41,820
Pack your things.

116
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:43,440
You'll see.

117
00:15:04,270 --> 00:15:05,950
You spent hours studying the Duomo.

118
00:15:06,970 --> 00:15:07,970
Yes, Father.

119
00:15:08,310 --> 00:15:12,270
Have you considered why the old
Florentines built a cathedral so

120
00:15:12,610 --> 00:15:19,030
No one could complete it. It was folly.
Their ambition exceeded their ability.

121
00:15:19,330 --> 00:15:20,750
They knew it wasn't possible.

122
00:15:21,030 --> 00:15:23,310
The people were too grand, too boring.

123
00:15:24,170 --> 00:15:27,050
If they knew it would not be completed,
why build it?

124
00:15:27,390 --> 00:15:29,590
Because they had dreams, Cosimo.

125
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,760
that God would produce future
generations clever enough to realize

126
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,680
That could be me, Father, if I apply
myself to my drawing.

127
00:15:41,380 --> 00:15:42,600
It could be you.

128
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:48,100
But not with your drawings. The dome
will not be completed by an artist or an

129
00:15:48,100 --> 00:15:52,300
architect. It will be completed by a man
who can marshal the vast resources

130
00:15:52,300 --> 00:15:54,160
needed to accomplish the task.

131
00:15:54,460 --> 00:15:55,860
A man of great wealth?

132
00:15:56,260 --> 00:15:57,260
How?

133
00:15:59,530 --> 00:16:01,810
I know you fancy yourself an artist.

134
00:16:02,010 --> 00:16:03,110
I don't know.

135
00:16:04,250 --> 00:16:05,850
But I too have dreams.

136
00:16:07,210 --> 00:16:08,790
For this family.

137
00:16:08,990 --> 00:16:10,350
For this city.

138
00:16:11,690 --> 00:16:18,270
And when I die, it'll be up to my son
and the son's sons

139
00:16:18,270 --> 00:16:20,410
to realize those dreams.

140
00:16:54,420 --> 00:16:56,000
Giovanni de' Medici.

141
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:57,480
Admiral,

142
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,620
these are my sons, Cosimo and Lorenzo.

143
00:17:04,740 --> 00:17:05,740
Lorenzo?

144
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:11,180
Your father has come up with a rather
remarkable proposal, boss.

145
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:16,520
At present, Holy Mother Church is
fatally divided. There's a false part of

146
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,099
avenue, another one in Naples.

147
00:17:18,490 --> 00:17:19,530
Pope Alessandro dead.

148
00:17:19,970 --> 00:17:24,650
Our hopes depend on a strong successor
to purify and unite the church.

149
00:17:25,270 --> 00:17:26,470
You seek financing?

150
00:17:26,750 --> 00:17:30,250
To buy votes among the curia in Rome.

151
00:17:30,530 --> 00:17:33,030
Bribery. I believe it's pronounced
lobbying.

152
00:17:34,970 --> 00:17:36,010
And your candidate?

153
00:17:36,790 --> 00:17:37,810
Why, me, of course.

154
00:17:40,910 --> 00:17:45,430
You're not seriously thinking of giving
money to a pirate?

155
00:17:45,670 --> 00:17:46,850
No, no, no, a condottiere.

156
00:17:47,330 --> 00:17:47,929
I'm not.

157
00:17:47,930 --> 00:17:54,390
Not just that, but an ordained cardinal
and voting member of the

158
00:17:54,390 --> 00:17:55,390
Coria.

159
00:17:56,430 --> 00:17:59,830
He seeks to unite and purify by buying
his way into the papacy? It is sometimes

160
00:17:59,830 --> 00:18:03,070
necessary to do some bad in order to
achieve a much greater good.

161
00:18:09,690 --> 00:18:11,090
What collateral do you offer?

162
00:18:11,410 --> 00:18:12,410
None at all.

163
00:18:13,250 --> 00:18:16,170
Now, I'm afraid if I fail, there's
little hope of you recovering your

164
00:18:16,170 --> 00:18:17,290
investment, but...

165
00:18:18,510 --> 00:18:23,050
If I succeed, the Medici become bankers
to the Pope.

166
00:18:23,850 --> 00:18:29,950
All the tithes and taxes that flow to
the courier from London to Tunisia will

167
00:18:29,950 --> 00:18:30,990
pass through our bank.

168
00:18:36,550 --> 00:18:40,190
In a stroke, we would become the most
successful bank in Europe.

169
00:18:40,810 --> 00:18:45,070
No one could call us usurers anymore.
Not if the Pope was our client. What?

170
00:18:45,470 --> 00:18:46,470
Usurers?

171
00:18:46,679 --> 00:18:49,960
Users make money by charging interest to
the desperate.

172
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:54,900
Our profit comes from trade and credit.
We give opportunity to those who

173
00:18:54,900 --> 00:18:56,840
otherwise would have none. Never forget
that.

174
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:58,040
All right.

175
00:18:58,580 --> 00:19:00,400
You will go to Rome at once.

176
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,560
So will you. Me? Yes.

177
00:19:03,220 --> 00:19:06,720
Lorenzo is good at convincing people,
not me. Only one of you can leave the

178
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:07,720
if I die.

179
00:19:09,300 --> 00:19:11,160
He wants to pit it against each other.

180
00:19:15,470 --> 00:19:16,910
No, we won't let him divide us, will we?

181
00:19:18,350 --> 00:19:19,350
Never.

182
00:19:22,690 --> 00:19:28,750
Today, in heavy hearts, we choose a
successor for the late Giovanni de'

183
00:19:51,590 --> 00:19:58,450
Oh, the suspense is killing me. The
successor to Giovanni de' Medici shall

184
00:19:58,450 --> 00:20:01,790
be Cosimo de' Medici.

185
00:20:06,890 --> 00:20:07,890
They're cheating.

186
00:20:08,370 --> 00:20:09,390
You are cheating.

187
00:20:09,810 --> 00:20:10,990
You are cheating.

188
00:20:11,210 --> 00:20:12,310
You are cheating.

189
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:43,400
My father understood that money should
be used to allow all men to benefit from

190
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,280
their toil, not just those born to rank
and title.

191
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,400
That is the Florence he helped build.

192
00:20:53,020 --> 00:20:59,600
He may be gone, but what he stood for
cannot be destroyed.

193
00:21:16,940 --> 00:21:19,140
Visconti, Duke of Milan, has attacked
Lucca.

194
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,260
The city walls have fallen.

195
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,980
I call for immediate adjournment.

196
00:21:24,580 --> 00:21:25,580
Adjourned.

197
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,860
The important families must call for war
to protect our interests in Lucca.

198
00:21:32,060 --> 00:21:35,620
The merchants whose livelihood depend on
trade, war is not in their best

199
00:21:35,620 --> 00:21:36,620
interest.

200
00:21:37,100 --> 00:21:39,960
We will support his cause at home, just
as your father did.

201
00:21:41,140 --> 00:21:43,180
We will find his feet need filling
again.

202
00:22:00,500 --> 00:22:02,140
Father! Is it true there will be war?

203
00:22:03,380 --> 00:22:04,380
If it's possible.

204
00:22:04,420 --> 00:22:07,080
Piero was meant to go with you today to
see you take your father's seat in the

205
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,760
Signoria. It's thou must have it working
with you.

206
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,500
Is there nothing else you dream of being
other than a banker?

207
00:22:17,140 --> 00:22:18,780
It's what grandfather wished, is it not?

208
00:22:30,830 --> 00:22:32,010
He is your heir.

209
00:22:32,230 --> 00:22:34,350
I did not need to be reminded. He is
brilliant.

210
00:22:34,590 --> 00:22:37,810
He has a mind for books, not the affairs
of men. Just give him a chance.

211
00:22:38,750 --> 00:22:41,050
You were his age when you started
learning from your father.

212
00:22:43,990 --> 00:22:44,350
Welcome

213
00:22:44,350 --> 00:22:55,290
to

214
00:22:55,290 --> 00:22:56,290
Rome.

215
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,320
Sooner we can leave this stinkhole the
better.

216
00:23:03,660 --> 00:23:05,780
Twenty -three cardinals vote for the
Pope.

217
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,760
We have three weeks to persuade twelve
of them to elect me.

218
00:23:09,260 --> 00:23:11,280
But you're among the twenty -three. You
see?

219
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,120
We already have one vote.

220
00:23:18,380 --> 00:23:19,380
Cardinal Corsa!

221
00:23:23,940 --> 00:23:29,140
Are you entirely serious?

222
00:23:32,100 --> 00:23:35,920
Entirely. As you're doubtless aware,
Cardinal Costa is highly qualified. And

223
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:36,920
fully ordained.

224
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:40,720
Cardinal Tavanti has my vote.

225
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,580
I see no reason to change it.

226
00:23:46,700 --> 00:23:48,760
How many reasons does your Eminence
need?

227
00:23:56,380 --> 00:24:00,240
You see, Your Eminence, we deeply
believe in the candidacy of Cardinal

228
00:24:00,910 --> 00:24:01,910
and we are

229
00:25:19,950 --> 00:25:20,950
Not bad.

230
00:25:22,430 --> 00:25:23,950
Not as good as me, of course.

231
00:25:25,650 --> 00:25:27,570
But not bad.

232
00:25:28,390 --> 00:25:29,390
You're an artist.

233
00:25:32,030 --> 00:25:33,030
What's the mouthful?

234
00:25:33,270 --> 00:25:34,270
I'm called Donatello.

235
00:25:36,330 --> 00:25:37,570
You're not from here, are you?

236
00:25:38,410 --> 00:25:40,490
Florence. So am I.

237
00:25:41,850 --> 00:25:42,850
Medici.

238
00:25:44,130 --> 00:25:45,130
Medici.

239
00:25:46,370 --> 00:25:47,710
Then you are a banker.

240
00:25:48,330 --> 00:25:49,330
I am.

241
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,020
I'm here to learn.

242
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:56,980
A banker who wants to be an artist.

243
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:00,780
All right then, Medici.

244
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:04,160
Come with me.

245
00:26:10,220 --> 00:26:17,080
What is this place?

246
00:26:17,700 --> 00:26:18,700
My workshop.

247
00:26:21,689 --> 00:26:23,750
Bertolo! This is my new friend, Cosimo.

248
00:26:26,510 --> 00:26:27,970
Enchanted. Have a cup.

249
00:26:28,450 --> 00:26:29,450
Thank you.

250
00:26:33,250 --> 00:26:34,790
The wisdom of the ancients.

251
00:26:36,050 --> 00:26:37,110
Salvaged from the streets.

252
00:26:37,750 --> 00:26:39,030
This is why you came to Rome.

253
00:26:39,450 --> 00:26:42,930
It seems the only artist who has
something to teach me died a thousand

254
00:26:42,930 --> 00:26:43,930
ago.

255
00:26:44,690 --> 00:26:45,690
Si.

256
00:26:50,190 --> 00:26:51,210
They have no clothes.

257
00:26:51,990 --> 00:26:53,310
You are a banker, aren't you?

258
00:26:54,990 --> 00:26:57,130
Are we not made in God's image?

259
00:26:58,810 --> 00:27:02,350
By showing the beauty of man, do we not
depict the beauty of God?

260
00:27:03,790 --> 00:27:05,210
You said you wanted to learn.

261
00:27:06,110 --> 00:27:07,110
Come.

262
00:27:11,490 --> 00:27:12,490
Start there.

263
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:45,460
I hope you didn't mind me staring.

264
00:28:45,700 --> 00:28:46,800
Why would I?

265
00:28:47,540 --> 00:28:49,940
You were almost... Naked.

266
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,000
I wasn't sure you'd noticed.

267
00:28:53,300 --> 00:28:54,300
Your eyes.

268
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:55,780
Didn't look down once.

269
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:00,040
What's your name?

270
00:29:00,860 --> 00:29:01,860
Bianca.

271
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:03,220
I am Cosimo.

272
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:09,240
Cosimo.

273
00:29:10,980 --> 00:29:16,600
Will I see you again?

274
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:18,480
I hope so.

275
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,060
I hope so, too.

276
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,280
Hambrough, there's work to be done.

277
00:29:47,140 --> 00:29:52,040
Myself, I'm inclined to favor Cardinal
Colonna.

278
00:29:56,540 --> 00:29:57,540
Remnant.

279
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:29,400
God in the terrain.

280
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:30,780
A moment of your time.

281
00:30:31,220 --> 00:30:32,620
You need another chance.

282
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:31,440
Where are you going?

283
00:32:32,740 --> 00:32:33,900
I have to go to work.

284
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:36,480
I thought you were an artist.

285
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,440
I would very much like to be.

286
00:32:40,220 --> 00:32:41,220
Why?

287
00:32:42,300 --> 00:32:43,380
If you have a job.

288
00:32:45,140 --> 00:32:46,380
Artists make no money.

289
00:32:47,540 --> 00:32:49,640
There's more to life than money, you
know.

290
00:32:50,140 --> 00:32:51,140
Like what?

291
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:53,400
Like beauty.

292
00:32:55,300 --> 00:32:56,300
Like you.

293
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,120
Beauty doesn't matter without food in
your stomach.

294
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:04,180
Clothes on your back.

295
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:06,240
A roof.

296
00:33:09,060 --> 00:33:10,140
Where are you from?

297
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:12,900
What did you do before this?

298
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:18,840
I was a laundress.

299
00:33:21,660 --> 00:33:23,720
I will be again when I leave this place.

300
00:33:31,690 --> 00:33:32,710
Who do you think you are?

301
00:33:33,850 --> 00:33:35,110
Who do you think I am?

302
00:33:36,290 --> 00:33:39,750
Are you so depraved as to believe there
is no honour or faith in Rome?

303
00:33:40,050 --> 00:33:43,430
Your Eminence, we were merely hoping to
help a guy. I know precisely what you

304
00:33:43,430 --> 00:33:44,710
are hoping, Cardinal Cotter.

305
00:33:45,430 --> 00:33:48,290
How dare you presume we are all as
corrupt as yourself?

306
00:33:50,110 --> 00:33:51,170
I serve God.

307
00:33:52,550 --> 00:33:53,550
And you?

308
00:33:54,390 --> 00:33:55,390
The usurer.

309
00:33:55,970 --> 00:33:57,650
With social pretensions.

310
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:04,440
Another time, perhaps.

311
00:34:11,300 --> 00:34:12,300
How's it going with Koza?

312
00:34:13,980 --> 00:34:15,620
Oh, so you remembered about that, did
you?

313
00:34:16,139 --> 00:34:18,920
I'm sorry, I know I haven't exactly been
carrying my weight. No.

314
00:34:19,860 --> 00:34:20,860
You've done nothing.

315
00:34:21,860 --> 00:34:24,440
And to answer your question, it isn't
going particularly well.

316
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,719
We have five days left, and all we have
done is depleted our funds. Where have

317
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,860
you been? You're far better at this than
I am, Lorenzo.

318
00:34:32,379 --> 00:34:33,480
Is that supposed to be an excuse?

319
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,520
I don't want to be a banker, you know
that. We don't have a choice.

320
00:34:38,139 --> 00:34:39,139
Neither of us do.

321
00:35:03,630 --> 00:35:04,630
Time for mass.

322
00:35:05,230 --> 00:35:06,850
Close the door. I want a word.

323
00:35:13,150 --> 00:35:15,330
We've understood some things about who
murdered Father.

324
00:35:16,190 --> 00:35:16,948
Such as?

325
00:35:16,950 --> 00:35:18,790
Whoever he was, he had a critical
education.

326
00:35:20,510 --> 00:35:22,930
Poisoning fruit was a trick used on
Emperor Augustus.

327
00:35:23,870 --> 00:35:27,470
His wife knew he had his food tasted, so
she killed him by having the figs on a

328
00:35:27,470 --> 00:35:28,530
tree dogged with poison.

329
00:35:29,070 --> 00:35:31,670
Well, that certainly narrows the list.

330
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,480
Can I speak with you alone?

331
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:51,260
You do know the Albizia rallying support
for a vote in the Signoria to authorize

332
00:35:51,260 --> 00:35:56,080
war against Luca. His men are in the
streets as we speak, readying for

333
00:35:56,240 --> 00:35:59,100
The families need this war to preserve
their revenue from the properties there.

334
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:00,480
Yes.

335
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:08,600
How will you vote?

336
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,620
Father would have gone along to get
along.

337
00:36:18,060 --> 00:36:20,840
He would have voted with me. You hold
father's seat now.

338
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,920
And if you oppose the war, then many
others in the signoria will vote with

339
00:36:25,980 --> 00:36:28,280
And the families will be at war with us.

340
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,420
Albizzi warned me against opposing the
might.

341
00:36:35,860 --> 00:36:37,730
Albizzi. Had a classical education.

342
00:36:38,650 --> 00:36:42,270
And when he was a boy, he played in that
vineyard many times. I know.

343
00:36:44,450 --> 00:36:47,810
If he killed our father, he did it for
one reason, to weaken us.

344
00:36:49,070 --> 00:36:51,190
And now you have a chance to weaken him.

345
00:36:52,470 --> 00:36:56,290
If you do not take that, Cosimo, then
you may not get another.

346
00:37:05,870 --> 00:37:06,870
Let us pray.

347
00:37:08,670 --> 00:37:15,350
God, who blessed Mary, always virgin,
Holy Spirit, dwell in us,

348
00:37:15,350 --> 00:37:18,810
today, in the temple, present to us your
will.

349
00:37:19,950 --> 00:37:26,690
Hurry, I repeat, in your intercession,
in the temple of your glory, present to

350
00:37:26,690 --> 00:37:27,690
us your will.

351
00:37:29,470 --> 00:37:33,710
God, who blessed Mary, always virgin,

352
00:37:38,430 --> 00:37:41,950
You must forgive my intrusion upon your
devotions, my lord.

353
00:37:43,890 --> 00:37:47,210
You had me break the law by conducting
an autopsy on your father.

354
00:37:47,970 --> 00:37:51,310
And yet I notice that word of his
poisoning has not spread.

355
00:37:53,970 --> 00:37:59,250
Would I be correct in assuming that your
excellency prefers to keep this

356
00:37:59,250 --> 00:38:01,050
melancholy fact a secret?

357
00:38:01,330 --> 00:38:02,330
What's your point?

358
00:38:02,630 --> 00:38:04,010
My point is...

359
00:38:04,330 --> 00:38:08,190
that someone does know what befell your
lamented father.

360
00:38:09,170 --> 00:38:11,350
Someone beside his murderer.

361
00:38:13,230 --> 00:38:19,610
You know, for 100 Florence, my lips are
sealed forever.

362
00:38:30,190 --> 00:38:33,770
May I have a word?

363
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,140
I went to the piazza as instructed.

364
00:38:45,980 --> 00:38:50,620
The Checo says, one hundred florins is
nothing to a man such as yourself.

365
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:52,840
Don't worry, it was a thousand.

366
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:56,760
Frightened him.

367
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,160
How long have you known me?

368
00:39:01,900 --> 00:39:02,900
Eighteen years now.

369
00:39:05,029 --> 00:39:07,790
If for me on the street I was blooded
and beaten and you brought me into your

370
00:39:07,790 --> 00:39:11,430
home, it has been my honor to serve you
everything.

371
00:39:11,690 --> 00:39:14,130
You've done more than that, Mokka.
You've been like a brother.

372
00:39:14,610 --> 00:39:16,030
Then you know you must trust me.

373
00:39:17,090 --> 00:39:21,050
I've known men like this surgeon all my
life and I'm telling you, he will never

374
00:39:21,050 --> 00:39:22,050
go away.

375
00:39:24,710 --> 00:39:26,370
Not until he's made to go away.

376
00:39:30,670 --> 00:39:31,670
Frighten him, Mokka.

377
00:39:33,270 --> 00:39:34,270
Nothing more.

378
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:27,000
Bianca? Will you betray us, please?
Bertolo is only 19.

379
00:40:27,950 --> 00:40:29,430
Must he be put to death for sodomy?

380
00:40:30,730 --> 00:40:31,730
Must I?

381
00:40:33,090 --> 00:40:34,090
Cosimo.

382
00:40:41,450 --> 00:40:43,650
I was afraid you'd left.

383
00:40:44,230 --> 00:40:45,730
Just for bread, that's all.

384
00:40:46,630 --> 00:40:49,250
I don't want you to leave ever again, do
you understand?

385
00:40:50,230 --> 00:40:52,030
Cosimo, don't be silly.

386
00:40:52,750 --> 00:40:54,150
You're the son of a banker.

387
00:40:55,050 --> 00:40:56,110
And I'm a loaner.

388
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,440
I'm in love with you, Bianca.

389
00:40:59,020 --> 00:41:00,480
I am in love with you.

390
00:41:00,700 --> 00:41:01,700
As if that mattered.

391
00:41:08,240 --> 00:41:13,640
On day three, I'm going to take you to
meet my brother and my father.

392
00:41:15,820 --> 00:41:17,040
You're a dreamer, cousin.

393
00:41:18,180 --> 00:41:19,660
That's exactly what I am.

394
00:41:37,390 --> 00:41:38,390
What is it?

395
00:41:40,350 --> 00:41:41,690
A letter from my father.

396
00:41:42,690 --> 00:41:45,390
The Albizzi have been thrown bribes the
other way. What?

397
00:41:45,910 --> 00:41:46,910
We're nearly bankrupt.

398
00:41:51,370 --> 00:41:52,370
That's a pity.

399
00:41:52,830 --> 00:41:53,830
I could have helped.

400
00:41:54,610 --> 00:41:56,270
I could have cleansed the church.

401
00:41:57,170 --> 00:41:58,810
I've just spoken to Cardinal Mosca.

402
00:42:00,330 --> 00:42:01,330
He's with us.

403
00:42:03,610 --> 00:42:04,730
How did you manage that?

404
00:42:05,100 --> 00:42:08,180
There's no money left to bribe him with.
I used the argument you first made to

405
00:42:08,180 --> 00:42:10,880
us. The need to unite and purify the
church.

406
00:42:11,220 --> 00:42:12,240
There, you see?

407
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:17,200
Now, if we could get Orsini to switch,
then Atavanti and the others we would

408
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,440
follow. We might as well wish for the
sun to rise at night.

409
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,460
I don't know why we're here. Orsini will
never switch. He hates me.

410
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:31,640
You there, Cardinal Orsini. You must
leave here at once. I am a member of the

411
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:33,560
Kour. Sadly, this is true.

412
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:35,120
But they are not.

413
00:42:35,700 --> 00:42:37,920
Go, or I will have you thrown out.

414
00:42:38,720 --> 00:42:39,720
Guard!

415
00:42:39,980 --> 00:42:40,980
Guard!

416
00:42:41,380 --> 00:42:42,380
We're going.

417
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:44,160
We're leaving.

418
00:43:16,910 --> 00:43:17,910
What is it, Claudio?

419
00:43:18,370 --> 00:43:20,490
Your son Cosimo is in love.

420
00:43:21,950 --> 00:43:22,950
With who?

421
00:43:25,350 --> 00:43:26,350
With who?

422
00:43:27,010 --> 00:43:28,010
A peasant.

423
00:43:28,750 --> 00:43:29,750
A laundress.

424
00:44:17,580 --> 00:44:18,580
First ballot, nil.

425
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:24,400
Good.

426
00:44:25,340 --> 00:44:27,940
Now, if we had gold, there's how we'd
get it in.

427
00:44:29,540 --> 00:44:30,580
I don't need gold.

428
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:32,440
I need paper.

429
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:35,680
What are you going to do?

430
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,420
Something bad in order to do something
good.

431
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,900
Donatello? What happened?

432
00:46:23,220 --> 00:46:24,980
The courier guard shut us down.

433
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:26,280
What for?

434
00:46:26,540 --> 00:46:27,600
Charges of sodomy.

435
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:29,420
Someone reported her.

436
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:33,060
Where is Vianne?

437
00:46:34,300 --> 00:46:37,280
She's gone. What do you mean, gone? She
said she was leaving.

438
00:46:38,860 --> 00:46:40,380
Some place you'd never find her.

439
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:44,420
She was scared, Kodomo.

440
00:46:45,620 --> 00:46:46,920
She'll never come back.

441
00:47:03,260 --> 00:47:04,640
You should feel proud.

442
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:08,020
Lorenzo and I did this together.

443
00:47:08,890 --> 00:47:11,750
Yes, but it was your idea to blackmail
Orsini.

444
00:47:12,390 --> 00:47:13,870
Your brother never would have dared.

445
00:47:14,730 --> 00:47:16,950
I didn't want him to tell you. He had
to.

446
00:47:17,230 --> 00:47:19,950
He knew in his heart you should be the
bank.

447
00:47:57,640 --> 00:47:59,820
The case for war has been made.

448
00:48:02,100 --> 00:48:08,860
Duke Visconti and his hired general,
Sportra, must be driven out of Lucca.

449
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,320
Signor Guadagni, call the question.

450
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:14,320
Exception.

451
00:48:27,530 --> 00:48:31,410
Signor Albizzi, will you yield to Massa
Medici?

452
00:48:58,830 --> 00:49:02,870
The Albizzi and the other noble families
of Florence have provided for this city

453
00:49:02,870 --> 00:49:03,870
for centuries.

454
00:49:04,990 --> 00:49:09,870
War has been the instrument of their
power, and they prosecute them

455
00:49:11,670 --> 00:49:18,570
Your point, Messer Medici, we are in a
new age, with a new generation of men

456
00:49:18,570 --> 00:49:21,970
understand a simple truth, that war is
wrong.

457
00:49:28,300 --> 00:49:29,300
Is it all there?

458
00:49:29,820 --> 00:49:30,820
Of course.

459
00:49:31,700 --> 00:49:33,900
Then this will do for now.

460
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:39,860
These lofty paintings glorify war but
emit its stench.

461
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:43,320
A new world is here.

462
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:46,160
A world of business and trade.

463
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:51,120
A world where men are awarded for their
ideas and initiative.

464
00:49:52,060 --> 00:49:56,840
A world where if you are born poor, it
no longer means your children must

465
00:49:56,840 --> 00:50:03,110
poor. Your business is nothing but
usury, which Holy Mother Church

466
00:50:03,110 --> 00:50:04,230
condemns.

467
00:50:06,690 --> 00:50:10,650
Jews, not gentlemen, are usurers.

468
00:50:11,870 --> 00:50:13,910
Gentlemen don't hold pens.

469
00:50:14,130 --> 00:50:15,350
We wield swords.

470
00:50:16,550 --> 00:50:19,610
And swords grow rusty if they're not
used.

471
00:50:20,770 --> 00:50:22,270
I call the vote.

472
00:50:48,940 --> 00:50:49,940
He carried the word.

473
00:50:57,680 --> 00:50:59,440
So there will be war.

474
00:51:01,220 --> 00:51:03,580
With guns in Lucca and without them in
Florence.

475
00:51:04,980 --> 00:51:06,560
What of the surgeon, the checker?

476
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:08,640
He's dead.

477
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:13,320
How?

478
00:51:14,580 --> 00:51:16,080
He was going to shout out.

479
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:17,680
I had no choice.

480
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:30,040
nine years ago.

481
00:53:00,110 --> 00:53:01,110
Guilty!
