We are only to happy

2
00:00:02,746 --> 00:00:05,138
to receive Rome's favored son.

3
00:00:05,299 --> 00:00:06,982
The manufacture of armaments

4
00:00:07,007 --> 00:00:09,131
could be construed as
a provocative move.

5
00:00:09,136 --> 00:00:11,672
I believe there may be a spy
in my court.

6
00:00:11,741 --> 00:00:13,483
If we have something
to convey to you,

7
00:00:13,508 --> 00:00:17,202
we will inscribe
the letter Omega.

8
00:00:17,348 --> 00:00:20,690
Tell your Pope that
neither Florence

9
00:00:20,715 --> 00:00:23,451
nor Da Vinci
will be contained.

10
00:00:23,453 --> 00:00:25,455
(Explosions)

11
00:00:25,523 --> 00:00:27,591
Whatever lock
this corresponds with,

12
00:00:27,658 --> 00:00:31,062
I'd wager the key represents
only half.

13
00:00:31,130 --> 00:00:33,031
The key is useless
without its counterpart.

14
00:00:33,099 --> 00:00:35,367
Have you heard of
the Book of Leaves?

15
00:00:35,435 --> 00:00:37,770
It's a myth.
No more real than a unicorn.

16
00:00:37,838 --> 00:00:41,375
You and Salviati should assemble
the largest army you can find.

17
00:00:41,443 --> 00:00:45,012
Get to work, maestro.
Florence is counting on you.

I find the game fascinating.

Deceptively simple,
isn't it?

Panpepato, cheese, and wine.

You made the panpepato?

Yes. Because you like it.

- Yes.

31
00:03:05,366 --> 00:03:08,836
I spent time in Abyssinia.

I said that you hold her
in high regard.

33
00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:17,712
She labors hard and has embraced
both the Lord and our language.

34
00:03:17,780 --> 00:03:20,047
You taught her,
didn't you?

35
00:03:20,115 --> 00:03:26,588
I did. Just as you teach me this
game with patient persistence.

Now, shall we get to play?

37
00:03:29,624 --> 00:03:30,825
That's the thing.

38
00:03:30,893 --> 00:03:32,527
I've yet to touch the board

39
00:03:32,594 --> 00:03:35,263
but already I've begun.

40
00:03:38,033 --> 00:03:41,669
The first principle
is to take the corners.

41
00:03:41,737 --> 00:03:43,437
The strategy is obvious.

42
00:03:43,505 --> 00:03:46,507
The corners are easier
to defend.

43
00:03:50,646 --> 00:03:54,549
It's brilliant.
High grade, beautifully milled.

44
00:03:54,617 --> 00:03:56,718
But it's missing something.

45
00:03:56,786 --> 00:04:00,722
I know! A jaunty bobbin lace
is what it needs.

46
00:04:00,789 --> 00:04:04,892
<i>But even as we engage in</i>
<i>localized conflicts</i>

47
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,964
<i>it is important to keep the</i>
<i>broader landscape in mind.</i>

48
00:04:21,310 --> 00:04:23,912
The game can only be won
by pursuing

49
00:04:23,980 --> 00:04:29,084
seemingly opposing objectives
simultaneously.

50
00:04:32,054 --> 00:04:34,122

Lucrezia, my dear,
come tell us what you think.

53
00:04:42,798 --> 00:04:46,601
<i>A stone can be considered to</i>
<i>inhabit one of three states:</i>

54
00:04:46,669 --> 00:04:50,705
<i>alive, dead,</i>
<i>or unsettled.</i>

55
00:04:50,773 --> 00:04:52,840
Lucrezia can you come out here,
dear?

56
00:04:52,908 --> 00:04:55,743
<i>An unsettled stone</i>
<i>naturally presents the player</i>

57
00:04:55,811 --> 00:04:59,947
with the largest
potential outcomes.

58
00:05:01,783 --> 00:05:04,051
- Are you heading out?
- Yes.

59
00:05:04,118 --> 00:05:06,120
- After curfew?
- I'll be fine.

60
00:05:06,187 --> 00:05:08,522
- Is that wise?
- I'm calling on Ginevra.

61
00:05:08,589 --> 00:05:11,891
I bought some herbs from the
montebianchi to treat her tetter.

62
00:05:11,959 --> 00:05:13,693
But I may need your help.

63
00:05:13,761 --> 00:05:17,264
I'm confident that Enzo is capable
of handling all of your needs.

64
00:05:17,331 --> 00:05:18,766
Goodnight.

65
00:05:18,833 --> 00:05:21,969
An opponent who can control
the flow of the game

66

while appearing to play
defensively

67
00:05:24,206 --> 00:05:28,376
is often the most formidable.

68
00:05:32,447 --> 00:05:35,049
GUARD:
Go on. Move on.

69
00:05:40,421 --> 00:05:43,223
Come on! Stand up straight.

70
00:05:56,772 --> 00:05:58,573
Go on. Move on.

71
00:06:19,795 --> 00:06:21,229
Look down here on the left.

72
00:06:31,507 --> 00:06:35,176
- Signora Donati.
- Captain Dragonetti.

73
00:06:35,244 --> 00:06:38,413
Isn't it late for a woman of your
standing to be out for a stroll?

74
00:06:38,481 --> 00:06:41,383
On principle, I could arrest
you for violating curfew.

75
00:06:41,450 --> 00:06:45,220
True. But we both know that
it would be you, and not I,

76
00:06:45,287 --> 00:06:47,088
who would receive punishment.

77
00:06:49,192 --> 00:06:51,259
Enjoy the evening air, Signora.

78
00:07:05,609 --> 00:07:07,809
- Good evening, Gualberto.
- Signora.

79
00:07:07,877 --> 00:07:09,511
You look lovely
this evening.

80
00:07:09,579 --> 00:07:12,180
- As always.
- Thank you.

81
00:07:19,889 --> 00:07:23,391
- Your heart is racing.
- I didn't expect you to be here.

82
00:07:26,162 --> 00:07:28,497
I couldn't wait for you
any longer at the palazzo.

83
00:07:32,569 --> 00:07:35,204
Lorenzo.

84
00:07:35,271 --> 00:07:36,539
Let me.

85
00:07:50,754 --> 00:07:53,656
(Bell tolls)

86
00:08:29,359 --> 00:08:33,596
One of the most difficult
strategies to master is called...

87
00:08:33,664 --> 00:08:36,231
"Cross The Sea Unseen".

88
00:08:36,299 --> 00:08:38,000
(Knocking)
- Da Vinci!

89
00:08:38,068 --> 00:08:42,104
It entails identifying the
weakness in an opponent's position

90
00:08:42,172 --> 00:08:45,507
and exploiting it
beneath their notice.

91
00:08:48,678 --> 00:08:52,348
Da Vinci! Lorenzo believes you
are already at the forge!

92
00:08:53,684 --> 00:08:55,218
(Hammering on door)

93
00:08:55,285 --> 00:08:56,753
Da Vinci!

94
00:09:02,427 --> 00:09:03,527
What?

95
00:09:03,595 --> 00:09:05,329
Why weren't you there
at first light?

96
00:09:05,396 --> 00:09:06,964
They cast guns at sunrise.

97
00:09:07,031 --> 00:09:09,166
I don't have to pour
the metal myself, Becchi.

98
00:09:09,234 --> 00:09:11,202
These weapons are vital
to Florence's safety

99
00:09:11,270 --> 00:09:14,205
and you've sold
yourself as a war engineer.

100
00:09:14,273 --> 00:09:16,541
- What is that noxious smell?
- It's an experiment.

101
00:09:16,609 --> 00:09:18,576
I'm assessing the implications
of my guns.

102
00:09:20,747 --> 00:09:22,781
Da Vinci!

103
00:09:22,849 --> 00:09:25,250
(Flies buzz)

104
00:09:31,758 --> 00:09:33,593
(Melodic tones)

105
00:09:43,203 --> 00:09:44,203
Da Vinci!

106
00:09:44,271 --> 00:09:47,039
Ah, there you are, Maestro.

107
00:09:47,107 --> 00:09:49,875
Production progressing
smoothly, I trust?

108
00:09:49,942 --> 00:09:53,746
As smoothly as can be expected,
given these working conditions.

109
00:09:53,813 --> 00:09:58,083
Yes, but my guns. We will
have ten, as promised, yes?

110
00:09:58,151 --> 00:10:01,120
Our refusal to accept Rome's
Archbishop of Pisa

111
00:10:01,187 --> 00:10:03,789
only reinforces the need
to bolster our defenses.

112
00:10:03,857 --> 00:10:07,793
I am acutely aware of the pressures
converging on His Magnificence.

113
00:10:07,861 --> 00:10:09,094
(Dull thud)

114
00:10:09,162 --> 00:10:11,597
What the devil is that
cloudy-eyed miscreant doing?

115
00:10:11,665 --> 00:10:15,434
- The tonality is off.
- Stop!

116
00:10:15,502 --> 00:10:19,938
Our sightless friend's keen ears
have detected an impurity.

117
00:10:20,807 --> 00:10:24,075
This is absurd.

118
00:10:24,142 --> 00:10:25,843
Your methods,
what's changed?

119
00:10:25,911 --> 00:10:28,880
Nothing. I've used
the finest ore, as dictated.

120
00:10:28,948 --> 00:10:31,382
- Well, then, the heat...
- Precisely as instructed.

121
00:10:31,450 --> 00:10:34,285
Well, there was that one moment
when we ran out of sulfur.

122
00:10:34,353 --> 00:10:36,988
- Why wasn't I consulted?
- It was incidental.

123
00:10:37,056 --> 00:10:40,224
What exactly is the issue here?

124
00:10:40,292 --> 00:10:42,059
If they've used
an inferior alloy,

125
00:10:42,127 --> 00:10:44,028
in this case,
too little sulfur,

126
00:10:44,096 --> 00:10:47,064
then the sound the guns make will
be half as loud as they should be.

127
00:10:47,132 --> 00:10:49,567
Who cares about
the fucking sound?

128
00:10:49,635 --> 00:10:51,769
We're not doing more
of your goddamn theatre.

129
00:10:51,837 --> 00:10:53,771
They need to obliterate
the enemy.

130
00:10:53,839 --> 00:10:56,140
Blow them to bits.

131
00:10:56,208 --> 00:10:58,676
- Please unhand me.
- Or what?

132
00:10:58,743 --> 00:11:00,344
You're threatening me
with a spoon now?

133
00:11:00,412 --> 00:11:01,812
Giuliano!

134
00:11:06,853 --> 00:11:08,720
As I was saying,

135
00:11:08,788 --> 00:11:17,762
the timbre of the barrel is also
indicative of its general properties.

136
00:11:17,830 --> 00:11:19,264
Start again.

137
00:11:19,332 --> 00:11:21,733
Don't scrimp on the sulfur
this time!

138
00:11:21,801 --> 00:11:25,270
He won't.

139
00:11:25,338 --> 00:11:26,872
You treat me like a fool.

140
00:11:26,939 --> 00:11:30,108
But I'm capable of leading.

141
00:11:30,176 --> 00:11:32,410
- The people love me.
- They love your face.

142
00:11:32,478 --> 00:11:38,049
But that smooth nose of yours
won't keep Rome from striking.

143
00:11:38,117 --> 00:11:40,785
Only Da Vinci's guns will.

144
00:11:45,592 --> 00:11:47,192
Come, Nico.

145
00:11:47,260 --> 00:11:50,829
These Medici currency vouchers
are weighing me down.

146
00:11:50,897 --> 00:11:53,332
I need to fly,
be free of this world.

147
00:11:55,601 --> 00:11:57,970
How much for your entire
inventory?

148
00:11:58,037 --> 00:12:00,105
More than you gave
me last time.

149
00:12:00,173 --> 00:12:02,207
Two florins?

150
00:12:02,275 --> 00:12:03,809
How about it, bird man?

151
00:12:05,279 --> 00:12:07,213
A little help, Nico?

152
00:12:07,281 --> 00:12:08,581
Excuse me.

153
00:12:13,687 --> 00:12:15,021
Now!

154
00:12:35,041 --> 00:12:37,376
I never tire
of watching that.

155
00:12:43,583 --> 00:12:46,285
Why didn't this one fly away?
(Whistles)

156
00:12:46,353 --> 00:12:48,454
Signor Da Vinci.

157
00:12:48,522 --> 00:12:50,455
When will you ever
finish my portrait

158
00:12:50,523 --> 00:12:53,692
if we sit together
so infrequently?

159
00:12:53,759 --> 00:12:57,596
Maestro, I'll pick up some
more eggs for your pigments.

160
00:12:57,663 --> 00:13:01,666
On your way to or
from Lorenzo, then?

161
00:13:01,734 --> 00:13:04,102
You know my situation,
Leonardo.

162
00:13:04,169 --> 00:13:06,171
(Whistles)

163
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,741
Just go.

164
00:13:09,809 --> 00:13:11,810
This is your chance,

165
00:13:11,877 --> 00:13:15,380
the cage is open.

166
00:13:15,448 --> 00:13:16,848
Do you think your
pursuit of knowledge

167
00:13:16,916 --> 00:13:19,784
makes you immune
to your emotions?

168
00:13:19,852 --> 00:13:22,087
You can't outrun them,
you know.

169
00:13:23,456 --> 00:13:25,023
Do you know,
I'm not running.

170
00:13:25,091 --> 00:13:28,092
I just have
competing interests.

171
00:13:31,363 --> 00:13:33,264
Like you.

172
00:13:36,001 --> 00:13:38,737
Curious, that bird.

173
00:13:38,804 --> 00:13:40,505
And paid for.

174
00:13:40,573 --> 00:13:43,375
You take it or I eat it.

175
00:13:46,079 --> 00:13:48,547
<i>So, the plot thickens.</i>

176
00:13:48,615 --> 00:13:52,584
You've broken off from a local
exchange and opened up a new front.

177
00:13:52,652 --> 00:13:56,522
I thought it was time a little chaos
was introduced into the play.

178
00:13:57,890 --> 00:14:00,825
(Screaming)

179
00:14:00,893 --> 00:14:03,528
What's going on?

180
00:14:03,595 --> 00:14:05,195
Inside me...

181
00:14:05,263 --> 00:14:08,866
the... the... devil...

182
00:14:08,934 --> 00:14:12,635
..clawing at my womb,
damning me!

183
00:14:12,703 --> 00:14:15,104
(Screams)

184
00:14:15,172 --> 00:14:16,439
Oh, dear God.

185
00:14:19,543 --> 00:14:20,844
It can't be.

186
00:14:20,912 --> 00:14:23,080
Don't touch her.
We don't know what afflicts her.

187
00:14:23,148 --> 00:14:25,282
It's Sister Dolores.
I knew her at the Convent.

188
00:14:25,350 --> 00:14:29,253
The sweetest,
most innocent soul. Dolores?

189
00:14:29,321 --> 00:14:32,690
You there. Find some officers,
bring them here.

190
00:14:32,757 --> 00:14:35,025
It's me - Vanessa.

191
00:14:35,093 --> 00:14:36,660
(Crowd gasps)

192
00:14:36,728 --> 00:14:40,765
You, your brother, Lorenzo,
making a new Sodom,

193
00:14:40,833 --> 00:14:42,300
gorging on filth,

194
00:14:42,367 --> 00:14:44,969
spewing out sin
onto Florence's streets.

195
00:14:45,036 --> 00:14:47,137
The Lord hates you!

196
00:14:47,205 --> 00:14:49,973
- What has befallen this woman?
- Demons, signor.

197
00:14:50,041 --> 00:14:54,111
Five of our fellow sisters from the Convent
of St Anthony have been possessed.

198
00:14:54,178 --> 00:14:55,445
(Spits)

199
00:14:55,513 --> 00:14:58,882
The Medicis - copulators,
blasphemers

200
00:14:58,950 --> 00:15:02,386
corrupting our city.

201
00:15:02,453 --> 00:15:06,422
My eyes burn to look at you!

202
00:15:06,490 --> 00:15:09,859
Ssh.

203
00:15:09,927 --> 00:15:12,162
(Gasps and screams)

204
00:15:13,731 --> 00:15:16,866
You let a mad woman
seize your blade.

205
00:15:16,934 --> 00:15:19,636
I ought to kill you with it!

206
00:15:19,704 --> 00:15:21,304
Take her away.

207
00:15:21,372 --> 00:15:23,806
Carefully and with respect.

208
00:15:25,209 --> 00:15:28,412
The rest of you...
go home.

209
00:15:28,479 --> 00:15:29,946
Pray for her soul.

210
00:15:31,849 --> 00:15:34,417
Go on, go!

211
00:15:49,899 --> 00:15:51,653
What in God's name are you doing
with these bodies?

212
00:15:51,678 --> 00:15:53,447
Leonardo, they're beginning to putrefy.

213
00:15:55,839 --> 00:15:57,773
And the stench has carried
into my studio.

214
00:15:57,841 --> 00:16:01,844
Andrea, please, can you not see that
I'm trying to pursue something here?

215
00:16:01,912 --> 00:16:04,080
Now look at this,
look at this.

216
00:16:04,147 --> 00:16:08,083
Africa...and Europe. Here?

217
00:16:08,151 --> 00:16:12,120
- Yes.
- See how they fit into this.

218
00:16:12,188 --> 00:16:14,790
Europe and Africa,
here and here...

219
00:16:14,857 --> 00:16:16,491
..and the Jew's map.

220
00:16:16,559 --> 00:16:19,094
It can only be where there are
now two land masses,

221
00:16:19,162 --> 00:16:21,998
there once was just one.

222
00:16:25,436 --> 00:16:27,837
Drifted apart over ages.

223
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:34,044
And between them,
the great Atlantic.

224
00:16:34,111 --> 00:16:37,948
The Book of Leaves
has to be here, Andrea...

225
00:16:38,015 --> 00:16:39,783
..on this land mass
to the West.

226
00:16:39,850 --> 00:16:44,587
But you don't even know that
this land mass actually exists.

227
00:16:44,655 --> 00:16:48,058
Ignis fatuus. That's what this
Sons of Mithras business is.

228
00:16:48,125 --> 00:16:49,859
"Foolish fire".

229
00:16:49,927 --> 00:16:53,196
Children chasing after luminous
insects, thinking them faerie lights

230
00:16:53,264 --> 00:16:56,100
and finding themselves
neck-deep in swamp-mire.

231
00:16:56,167 --> 00:16:58,702
- Well, I'm not a child, Andrea.
- Yet you pursue this folly

232
00:16:58,770 --> 00:17:01,939
while your legitimate
commissions languish.

233
00:17:02,007 --> 00:17:03,975
(Thunder rumbles)

234
00:17:04,042 --> 00:17:05,943
- Maestro! Maestro!
- Yes, what is it, boy?

235
00:17:06,011 --> 00:17:09,647
Signora Donati saw Vanessa
leaving for the Convent St Anthony.

236
00:17:09,714 --> 00:17:11,348
And your point is?

237
00:17:11,416 --> 00:17:13,584
Demons possess
the nuns there!

238
00:17:13,652 --> 00:17:16,153
I saw one of the sisters.
She stabbed her own eyes out!

239
00:17:16,221 --> 00:17:18,355
Vanessa can fall victim to
the demons too!

240
00:17:18,423 --> 00:17:20,691
Demons have yet to be proven
the cause of anything

241
00:17:20,758 --> 00:17:22,426
except some rather
tedious sermons.

242
00:17:22,493 --> 00:17:24,928
- We need to help her!
- Fuck, Nico!

243
00:17:24,995 --> 00:17:28,898
If I dropped everything to pursue some
ill-conceived and asinine flight of fancy,

244
00:17:28,966 --> 00:17:31,268
I would never
get anything done!

245
00:17:34,472 --> 00:17:36,673
Well, I'll remember that

246
00:17:36,741 --> 00:17:41,078
the next time you decide to strap me
or Vanessa into your glider wings.

247
00:17:57,562 --> 00:18:00,397
The violence of her movements,
her screeching,

248
00:18:00,465 --> 00:18:02,166
she seemed possessed, Lorenzo.

249
00:18:02,234 --> 00:18:03,701
My brother saw one mad nun

250
00:18:03,769 --> 00:18:05,704
and thinks the Devil
is at large in Florence.

251
00:18:05,771 --> 00:18:07,405
It's not just the one.

252
00:18:07,473 --> 00:18:09,040
They say the Devil's
influence is spreading,

253
00:18:09,108 --> 00:18:11,544
and so must be a judgment
on this city.

254
00:18:11,611 --> 00:18:13,446
A judgment on the Medicis.

255
00:18:13,513 --> 00:18:15,348
We rise and fall
on the people's will.

256
00:18:15,415 --> 00:18:18,150
Until we can assess the cause,
demonic or otherwise,

257
00:18:18,218 --> 00:18:20,285
we'd best seal off the Convent.

258
00:18:20,353 --> 00:18:22,287
Yes, agreed.

259
00:18:22,355 --> 00:18:26,258
Given our trouble with Rome, we don't want
our own people questioning our piety.

260
00:18:26,325 --> 00:18:28,393
Let me handle it.

261
00:18:28,461 --> 00:18:31,763
The people beheld this woman
kill herself at the sight of me.

262
00:18:31,831 --> 00:18:34,333
If I resolve this,
I end the gossips as well.

263
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,035
I'll take Dragonetti
and a couple of his officers.

264
00:18:37,103 --> 00:18:40,272
I'll get to the bottom
of this. I promise you.

265
00:18:44,344 --> 00:18:45,611
Oh, go on, then.

266
00:18:47,748 --> 00:18:49,015
Go!

267
00:18:53,287 --> 00:18:56,890
Out with it. You've the look of
having eaten something distasteful.

268
00:19:02,830 --> 00:19:07,935
If we can speak anywhere freely,
it's here, in our family chapel.

269
00:19:08,003 --> 00:19:12,506
The Vatican often appears to know our
strategies just as we employ them.

270
00:19:12,574 --> 00:19:15,243
They murder Sforza
to end our alliance with Milan.

271
00:19:15,310 --> 00:19:17,912
They ask to meet Da Vinci,
just as we hire him.

272
00:19:17,979 --> 00:19:21,482
Understandably, you've suggested
we have a spy within our court.

273
00:19:21,550 --> 00:19:24,251
But before we take more
aggressive steps

274
00:19:24,319 --> 00:19:26,287
towards rooting out
Rome's agent,

275
00:19:26,354 --> 00:19:29,123
I believe there's something
else we should consider.

276
00:19:31,360 --> 00:19:34,496
You married Clarice
to build ties with Rome.

277
00:19:34,563 --> 00:19:36,130
She still
has family there.

278
00:19:36,198 --> 00:19:39,067
Are you're suggesting that
my wife is trying to destroy us?

279
00:19:39,135 --> 00:19:40,736
Not trying, no.

280
00:19:40,803 --> 00:19:43,806
But she may be guilelessly
expressing things in her letters.

281
00:19:43,874 --> 00:19:47,877
- She may be unaware...
- Clarice is exceptional and she is loyal.

282
00:19:50,447 --> 00:19:53,816
"When life's path is steep,
keep your mind even."

283
00:19:53,883 --> 00:19:58,119
You taught me that
when I was a boy.

284
00:19:58,186 --> 00:20:00,321
Keep your mind even.

285
00:20:05,094 --> 00:20:06,694
First this crisis
at the Convent,

286
00:20:06,762 --> 00:20:08,630
and now a traitor
in our midst.

287
00:20:09,865 --> 00:20:13,101
Take whatever steps
you must to find our spy.

288
00:20:13,169 --> 00:20:14,569
Do it quickly.

289
00:20:26,816 --> 00:20:27,816
There's someone ahead.

290
00:20:31,654 --> 00:20:33,688
- I'll handle this.
- Signor, I must insist.

291
00:20:33,756 --> 00:20:35,523
It's just a girl,
Captain.

292
00:20:44,033 --> 00:20:46,534
Steel yourself,
Bertino.

293
00:20:46,602 --> 00:20:49,971
Sister, can you hear me?

294
00:20:50,039 --> 00:20:51,706
We're here to help you.

295
00:20:51,774 --> 00:20:53,508
I am Giuliano de Medici...

296
00:21:00,815 --> 00:21:03,317
(Woman screams)

297
00:21:03,385 --> 00:21:04,785
Stay with the horses.

298
00:21:14,496 --> 00:21:17,398
Sling her onto my horse,
tie her down.

299
00:21:17,466 --> 00:21:18,633
We'll take her
to the Convent.

300
00:21:18,701 --> 00:21:22,804
- (Woman screams)
- Look out!

301
00:21:28,510 --> 00:21:29,944
How many deaths
of the faithful

302
00:21:30,012 --> 00:21:31,846
will be laid at the feet
of the Medicis?

303
00:22:10,321 --> 00:22:11,821
Bertino!

304
00:22:15,659 --> 00:22:18,728
(Woman screams)

305
00:22:34,580 --> 00:22:36,181
Dragonetti.

306
00:22:54,566 --> 00:22:58,603
(Woman screams)

307
00:22:59,604 --> 00:23:01,639
(Woman continues screaming)

308
00:23:06,544 --> 00:23:10,413
Abyssus abyssum invocat.
Sed libera nos a Malo.

309
00:23:10,481 --> 00:23:12,716
Abyssus abyssum invocat.

310
00:23:12,784 --> 00:23:14,451
"Hell calls hell".

311
00:23:14,518 --> 00:23:16,987
One misstep leads to another.

312
00:23:17,055 --> 00:23:18,935
That's what's brought
the Devil to our doorstep.

313
00:23:20,124 --> 00:23:22,426
You and your brother
have denied God's will.

314
00:23:22,493 --> 00:23:24,161
Did you think
there wouldn't be a cost?

315
00:23:24,229 --> 00:23:28,131
Well, the cost is dear,
to be sure.

316
00:23:30,001 --> 00:23:33,637
But I'm not yet convinced it
was the Lord who levied it.

317
00:23:33,704 --> 00:23:34,972
What are you doing here?

318
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:36,373
I've come looking
for a friend.

319
00:23:38,276 --> 00:23:39,977
(Woman screams)

320
00:23:45,017 --> 00:23:46,651
Vanessa! Ssh!

321
00:23:46,718 --> 00:23:50,521
- (Groaning)
- Ssh! Ssh!

322
00:23:55,261 --> 00:23:57,763
I know this woman.

323
00:23:57,830 --> 00:24:01,834
She was one of us,
a fellow Sister,

324
00:24:01,902 --> 00:24:05,304
then this lecher sold her promises of
a more colorful life.

325
00:24:07,007 --> 00:24:11,844
Burning, burning,
there's a fire inside me.

326
00:24:11,911 --> 00:24:13,111
The poor girl
came to aid us

327
00:24:13,179 --> 00:24:14,946
but was struck down
like the others.

328
00:24:15,014 --> 00:24:18,316
Well, how long have these...
possessions been going on?

329
00:24:18,384 --> 00:24:20,452
What business
is it of yours?

330
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,821
Are you for God?

331
00:24:22,889 --> 00:24:25,390
I know what goes on
in your workshop.

332
00:24:25,458 --> 00:24:28,427
The nude modeling,
the carnal relations,

333
00:24:28,495 --> 00:24:31,831
the cadavers you debase
in the name of science.

334
00:24:31,898 --> 00:24:34,767
Your endeavors
condemn all they touch.

335
00:24:34,834 --> 00:24:37,369
We want none of
your assistance.

336
00:24:37,437 --> 00:24:39,772
Nor yours,
Signor Medici.

337
00:24:39,839 --> 00:24:43,609
Only fervid prayer
and penitence will stop this.

338
00:24:43,677 --> 00:24:46,345
Artista.
A word with you.

339
00:24:54,688 --> 00:24:58,691
Others are paid to do that, no?

340
00:25:00,727 --> 00:25:03,329
My father taught me no matter
the business surrounding you,

341
00:25:03,397 --> 00:25:04,897
never lose the count.

342
00:25:06,066 --> 00:25:09,336
For the Medicis are bankers
before all else.

343
00:25:09,403 --> 00:25:12,939
A wise man.
Taken before his time.

344
00:25:13,007 --> 00:25:14,641
"Piero the Gouty".

345
00:25:14,708 --> 00:25:17,677
For everything he was, he's
remembered most for his sickness.

346
00:25:17,745 --> 00:25:19,045
He is honored as a father.

347
00:25:19,113 --> 00:25:21,949
- To "Lorenzo the Magnificent".
- For now.

348
00:25:22,017 --> 00:25:24,986
Soon they may call me
by other names.

349
00:25:25,053 --> 00:25:28,489
Perhaps I'll be the banker who lost
the Papal accounts to the Pazzis.

350
00:25:28,557 --> 00:25:32,627
or the heretic who incurs the wrath
of Satan on Florence's innocents.

351
00:25:32,694 --> 00:25:34,928
My beloved,
you must get some rest.

352
00:25:38,232 --> 00:25:41,668
Today I thought of
sending Becchi away.

353
00:25:41,736 --> 00:25:45,972
- What? Why?
- I love him.

354
00:25:46,039 --> 00:25:48,007
He's been a second
father to me.

355
00:25:48,075 --> 00:25:52,411
But, but he questioned you.

356
00:25:52,479 --> 00:25:54,647
He thought that
you could be

357
00:25:54,715 --> 00:25:58,251
mistakenly sharing information
with your family.

358
00:25:58,318 --> 00:25:59,452
With Rome.

359
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,387
Do you think asking
would offend me?

360
00:26:01,455 --> 00:26:04,023
- It offends me.
- It shouldn't.

361
00:26:04,091 --> 00:26:07,059
We live in craven times.

362
00:26:07,127 --> 00:26:10,463
A man would have a city in flames
to make his life more comfortable.

363
00:26:12,166 --> 00:26:16,369
You don't come at a snake from
the front, Lorenzo.

364
00:26:16,437 --> 00:26:20,774
If I were one, bringing this up
would be pointless.

365
00:26:20,842 --> 00:26:23,743
It would make you
vulnerable.

366
00:26:23,811 --> 00:26:27,013
You simply should have had my
letters read without my knowledge.

367
00:26:27,081 --> 00:26:31,084
In my last letter to my family,
I told them this:

368
00:26:31,151 --> 00:26:37,456
"There are none more loyal
to Lorenzo than I."

369
00:26:37,524 --> 00:26:44,997
"There are others who, if
Lorenzo fell, would move on.

370
00:26:45,065 --> 00:26:47,633
I could never "move on."

371
00:26:47,700 --> 00:26:50,469
I understand your need
for escape, Lorenzo.

372
00:26:50,537 --> 00:26:53,572
To feel apart
from your responsibility.

373
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,243
You can have that escape.
But you do have to come back.

374
00:27:07,921 --> 00:27:12,492
You must always come back.

375
00:27:15,829 --> 00:27:17,831
Attend to your guns,
Da Vinci.

376
00:27:17,898 --> 00:27:20,233
I've been tasked
to handle this matter.

377
00:27:20,301 --> 00:27:21,935
And you're doing
an admirable job.

378
00:27:22,002 --> 00:27:25,138
I hear you slaughtered one of
the poor Sisters on the way in.

379
00:27:25,206 --> 00:27:28,274
- It was an accident.
- Incompetence often is.

380
00:27:28,342 --> 00:27:29,876
How dare you!

381
00:27:36,183 --> 00:27:37,951
Stay put.

382
00:27:42,756 --> 00:27:45,324
This is how you prove
your worth to Lorenzo?

383
00:27:45,392 --> 00:27:47,627
By killing his war engineer?

384
00:27:52,366 --> 00:27:56,803
Tell me something, Giuliano.
What is your plan?

385
00:27:56,871 --> 00:27:59,806
To seal off this place until
the evil spirits retreat.

386
00:27:59,874 --> 00:28:02,409
You won't inquire into
anything other than possession?

387
00:28:02,477 --> 00:28:03,945
Of course I will.

388
00:28:03,970 --> 00:28:06,047
Well, grace us with your
alternate theories then.

389
00:28:07,082 --> 00:28:10,017
- Please.
- Disease. Perhaps.

390
00:28:10,085 --> 00:28:12,386
- Right.
- Scrofula, plague.

391
00:28:12,454 --> 00:28:15,323
I know of no disease
that can ravage its host this quickly.

392
00:28:15,391 --> 00:28:17,091
Well, what, then?

393
00:28:17,159 --> 00:28:19,760
Before we accept
the Devil's work,

394
00:28:19,828 --> 00:28:22,797
shouldn't we first eliminate
the more profane causes?

395
00:28:22,865 --> 00:28:24,966
Consider panther cap
mushrooms.

396
00:28:25,033 --> 00:28:27,735
They're known to cause
hallucinations, even death.

397
00:28:27,803 --> 00:28:29,737
Right, let's see
what we've found.

398
00:28:34,309 --> 00:28:36,210
No, no, no,

399
00:28:37,379 --> 00:28:39,647
no, no, no.

400
00:28:42,217 --> 00:28:43,618
None of these
are the culprit.

401
00:28:43,685 --> 00:28:46,988
Right, next on our list,
wolf spiders.

402
00:28:47,055 --> 00:28:48,856
<i>The poisonous bite</i>
<i>of the Lycosidae.</i>

403
00:28:48,924 --> 00:28:52,059
<i>That can cause a hysterical</i>
<i>state of movement called Tarantism.</i>

404
00:28:52,127 --> 00:28:53,795
Wait!

405
00:28:53,862 --> 00:28:57,165
<i>Alas, that's not</i>
<i>the villain we seek.</i>

406
00:28:57,232 --> 00:29:00,001
Then what now, scribbler?

407
00:29:00,069 --> 00:29:02,203
Some art appreciation,
I think.

408
00:29:05,207 --> 00:29:07,775
What possible contaminant
can be found in here?

409
00:29:07,843 --> 00:29:10,378
Considering the florid images
the Sisters live amidst,

410
00:29:10,446 --> 00:29:13,815
not to mention the amateurish
technique on display here,

411
00:29:13,883 --> 00:29:15,250
is it any wonder

412
00:29:15,317 --> 00:29:18,853
the afflicted believe
themselves possessed?

413
00:29:18,921 --> 00:29:20,522
Have you gone mad too?

414
00:29:20,590 --> 00:29:23,525
I thought the pigments might
contain too much mercury.

415
00:29:23,592 --> 00:29:24,959
- But no.
- Enough, Da Vinci.

416
00:29:25,027 --> 00:29:26,695
When you start
licking paintings

417
00:29:26,762 --> 00:29:28,930
I think it's time to accept
that the Devil is here.

418
00:29:28,998 --> 00:29:30,732
Riders from Rome!

419
00:29:32,935 --> 00:29:37,072
For once, Giuliano,
you may be correct.

420
00:29:41,477 --> 00:29:43,245
Captain Grunwald.

421
00:29:43,312 --> 00:29:45,748
Giuliano de Medici.

422
00:29:45,815 --> 00:29:47,849
Pretty as always.

423
00:29:47,917 --> 00:29:49,618
I'd have thought
you loath to return,

424
00:29:49,685 --> 00:29:52,387
after your last mission
to Florence.

425
00:29:54,858 --> 00:29:57,126
We bring help
to the dear Sisters,

426
00:29:57,193 --> 00:29:59,261
in the person
of Prefect Mercuri.

427
00:29:59,329 --> 00:30:01,130
Lupo Mercuri?

428
00:30:01,197 --> 00:30:03,232
Curator of the
Vatican's Secret Archives?

429
00:30:03,299 --> 00:30:07,436
Today, I come as Prefect
for the Sacred Congregation of Rites.

430
00:30:07,503 --> 00:30:10,038
Your offer of assistance
is gracious, Prefect,

431
00:30:10,106 --> 00:30:14,576
but the Abbess is quite able
to lead the prayers for her flock.

432
00:30:14,644 --> 00:30:19,514
My orders are to execute
the holy rites for demonic exorcism.

433
00:30:19,582 --> 00:30:23,585
I have no plans to leave the good
sisters at the mercy of the Deceiver.

434
00:30:23,653 --> 00:30:25,487
And are you so attuned
to the infernal,

435
00:30:25,554 --> 00:30:28,056
you could sense their problems
all the way from Rome?

436
00:30:28,123 --> 00:30:30,291
We sent for aid days ago,
painter.

437
00:30:30,359 --> 00:30:33,728
We dare not reject Christ's
warriors in our hour of need.

438
00:30:35,698 --> 00:30:39,168
(Bell tolls)

439
00:30:43,006 --> 00:30:45,475
- Nephew.
- Your Grace.

440
00:30:45,543 --> 00:30:47,410
How goes the business
at the Convent?

441
00:30:47,478 --> 00:30:49,746
I fear the casualties mount.

442
00:30:49,813 --> 00:30:52,482
The Lord often requires
sacrifice.

443
00:30:52,550 --> 00:30:54,784
The Medicis crossed the Lord,

444
00:30:54,852 --> 00:30:57,453
refusing to appoint
our Archbishop in Pisa,

445
00:30:57,521 --> 00:31:00,255
employing a war engineer.

446
00:31:00,323 --> 00:31:03,092
It is God's will
to break Lorenzo

447
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:04,793
and all who support him.

448
00:31:04,861 --> 00:31:08,931
With the possible exception
of Da Vinci, I agree with you.

449
00:31:08,999 --> 00:31:12,368
Lucrezia Donati has him
tied up between her thighs,

450
00:31:12,436 --> 00:31:15,938
his alliance with the
Medicis is a fragile one.

451
00:31:16,006 --> 00:31:20,643
Those weapons he makes,
they could all be ours.

452
00:31:22,279 --> 00:31:24,714
And what of Da Vinci's
other alliances?

453
00:31:24,782 --> 00:31:26,849
Has he not sided with
the Sons of Mithras?

454
00:31:26,917 --> 00:31:29,319
Da Vinci can deliver us
The Book of Leaves.

455
00:31:29,386 --> 00:31:32,655
All signs point to it
being in Florence,

456
00:31:32,723 --> 00:31:36,392
and then he can aid in unlocking
its unparalleled knowledge.

457
00:31:37,728 --> 00:31:42,664
Surely, the Lord wills
that we embrace him.

458
00:31:42,732 --> 00:31:45,233
Do you tell me
what the Lord wills?

459
00:31:46,703 --> 00:31:48,203
Of course not, Father.

460
00:31:48,271 --> 00:31:49,838
Holy Father.

461
00:32:01,750 --> 00:32:03,917
Find a way, then.

462
00:32:03,985 --> 00:32:07,721
Make this Da Vinci ours,
if it amuses you.

463
00:32:09,958 --> 00:32:12,726
Oh, Riario, your slave girl.

464
00:32:12,794 --> 00:32:14,428
The Abyssinian.

465
00:32:14,496 --> 00:32:16,130
I want her for tonight.

466
00:32:19,301 --> 00:32:22,336
Don't fret. You'll have
her back in the morning.

467
00:32:32,314 --> 00:32:33,581
Whoa!

468
00:32:39,488 --> 00:32:40,989
Thank you, Gualberto.

469
00:32:46,429 --> 00:32:48,430
Lorenzo?

470
00:32:48,498 --> 00:32:52,434
No.
I know how he summons you.

471
00:32:52,501 --> 00:32:57,272
Gualberto, the carriage,
the rose.

472
00:32:58,374 --> 00:33:00,275
They're all up there.

473
00:33:00,343 --> 00:33:01,944
Lorenzo, his father.

474
00:33:02,012 --> 00:33:03,579
His grandfather, Cosimo.

475
00:33:03,647 --> 00:33:05,414
Giuliano, his lynx.

476
00:33:05,482 --> 00:33:11,220
His sisters, me, Becchi.

477
00:33:11,288 --> 00:33:14,924
Even that pig Duke Sforza.

478
00:33:14,992 --> 00:33:17,861
Because he was important
to Florence.

479
00:33:20,664 --> 00:33:24,500
Lorenzo
doesn't summon me.

480
00:33:24,568 --> 00:33:27,003
Oh, but he does.

481
00:33:27,070 --> 00:33:30,206
It hasn't always been you.
Lorenzo's had other diversions.

482
00:33:30,274 --> 00:33:33,810
Well, what do you want?
For me to stay away from him?

483
00:33:33,878 --> 00:33:36,447
I love him.
And I love this city.

484
00:33:38,550 --> 00:33:41,252
Perhaps
because he is this city.

485
00:33:41,319 --> 00:33:43,053
You see, we have to prevail.

486
00:33:43,121 --> 00:33:45,523
And do you think me
an impediment to that end?

487
00:33:45,590 --> 00:33:47,992
You cannot be as brazen
with your affections.

488
00:33:48,060 --> 00:33:50,294
Not in public.

489
00:33:51,497 --> 00:33:55,032
There is a conspirator
in our court.

490
00:33:55,100 --> 00:33:58,202
As we speak, Lorenzo continues
to eliminate suspects

491
00:33:58,270 --> 00:34:00,638
and draws the noose tighter.

492
00:34:00,706 --> 00:34:02,907
They will find the traitor
and execute him.

493
00:34:02,974 --> 00:34:06,744
But until then, any vulnerability against
Lorenzo could be exploited.

494
00:34:06,812 --> 00:34:09,247
You could be used as
leverage against him.

495
00:34:11,450 --> 00:34:13,751
You are a distraction.
That's your function.

496
00:34:13,819 --> 00:34:15,353
I will tolerate that.

497
00:34:15,421 --> 00:34:19,091
But I will not tolerate you
becoming a vulnerability.

498
00:34:21,828 --> 00:34:25,231
Wait five minutes
after I leave.

499
00:34:26,232 --> 00:34:32,504
Clarice,
I know you love him.

500
00:34:32,572 --> 00:34:35,473
How can you even
stand to look at me?

501
00:34:35,541 --> 00:34:38,242
Because I know you will
never be up on that wall.

502
00:34:43,281 --> 00:34:45,616
Ah, Signora.

503
00:34:45,683 --> 00:34:47,584
Might I have a word
before you depart?

504
00:34:47,652 --> 00:34:50,688
Are you and your husband
at home tomorrow?

505
00:34:50,755 --> 00:34:53,890
It's vital I question you
about any recent travels.

506
00:34:53,958 --> 00:34:56,293
- Our travels?
- Forgive my indelicacy,

507
00:34:56,361 --> 00:35:00,698
but Lorenzo requests I track the
comings and goings of everyone

508
00:35:00,766 --> 00:35:02,868
with access to the palace.

509
00:35:02,935 --> 00:35:05,737
Given these vexing times,
we can't make exceptions.

510
00:35:05,805 --> 00:35:06,981
Absolutely.

511
00:35:07,006 --> 00:35:09,168
Niccolo and I will assist
you in any way that we can.

512
00:35:09,208 --> 00:35:12,510
Excellent.
Tomorrow noon then?

513
00:35:12,578 --> 00:35:15,580
Yes. Good day,
Gentile.

514
00:35:26,992 --> 00:35:31,429
Gualberto, you shall
retrieve me again this evening.

515
00:35:31,497 --> 00:35:33,865
Lorenzo requires
my presence.

516
00:35:38,338 --> 00:35:40,739
(Whip cracks
and horse neighs)

517
00:35:41,675 --> 00:35:43,309
(Woman grunts and groans)

518
00:35:44,845 --> 00:35:47,380
I cast you out,
infernal adversary!

519
00:35:47,447 --> 00:35:49,349
Begone from
our Sister Oriana,

520
00:35:49,416 --> 00:35:51,384
from all made
in the image of God

521
00:35:51,452 --> 00:35:54,021
and redeemed by the precious
blood of the divine Lamb.

522
00:35:54,089 --> 00:35:56,390
The most high God
commands you!

523
00:35:56,458 --> 00:35:58,826
- Man of Rome.
- The Most High God commands you.

524
00:35:58,894 --> 00:36:01,529
- I know why you came.
- Eternal Word of God made flesh.

525
00:36:01,597 --> 00:36:02,677
I know what you crave.

526
00:36:02,702 --> 00:36:05,434
The sacred mystery of
the cross commands you.

527
00:36:05,534 --> 00:36:09,070
- I know what you crave.
- The exalted Virgin Mary commands you.

528
00:36:09,138 --> 00:36:11,539
All you think about
is fucking.

529
00:36:11,607 --> 00:36:14,742
I adjure you by the living God,
by the true God,

530
00:36:14,810 --> 00:36:18,513
cease your deception
of this woman!

531
00:36:18,581 --> 00:36:20,749
Begone!

532
00:36:20,816 --> 00:36:22,584
- Begone!
- Prefect Mercuri!

533
00:36:22,651 --> 00:36:24,118
Silence!

534
00:36:27,289 --> 00:36:33,695
I command you, begone!

535
00:36:33,763 --> 00:36:36,131
The moments before she died,

536
00:36:36,198 --> 00:36:39,234
I saw the light of God
in her eyes.

537
00:36:39,302 --> 00:36:41,369
She is saved.

538
00:36:43,006 --> 00:36:47,142
Tell me something, Prefect.
In all your time doing this,

539
00:36:47,210 --> 00:36:50,212
have you ever met a demon that
you couldn't expel?

540
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,614
No.

541
00:36:52,682 --> 00:36:54,482
"Ex umbra in solem".

542
00:36:54,550 --> 00:36:56,418
"From Shadow into the Light".

543
00:36:56,486 --> 00:37:00,454
Epigram of
the Secret Archives.

544
00:37:00,522 --> 00:37:05,325
(Gasps)

545
00:37:05,393 --> 00:37:08,828
Where am I? What am I doing?

546
00:37:08,896 --> 00:37:10,763
You're at the Convent.

547
00:37:10,831 --> 00:37:13,633
You're at the Convent.
Sshh. Sshh.

548
00:37:13,700 --> 00:37:16,602
- But I left it for you.
- You returned.

549
00:37:16,670 --> 00:37:21,975
You came back to
aid your friends.

550
00:37:22,043 --> 00:37:25,245
You lied, Leonardo.

551
00:37:25,313 --> 00:37:29,849
You promised me wonders.

552
00:37:29,917 --> 00:37:34,988
You said we'd fly.
You said we'd burn like the sun,

553
00:37:35,055 --> 00:37:39,025
but there's no sun
in your world.

554
00:37:39,093 --> 00:37:43,663
There's only coldness
and shadows.

555
00:37:43,730 --> 00:37:46,598
Ssh. Ssh. Calm yourself.

556
00:37:46,666 --> 00:37:48,900
You've taken ill.

557
00:37:48,968 --> 00:37:52,137
You're so smart,

558
00:37:52,205 --> 00:37:54,473
you're so beautiful,

559
00:37:54,541 --> 00:38:04,216
but we're just toys
to you, aren't we?

560
00:38:04,284 --> 00:38:07,620
I think it is time to cleanse
this dear soul as well.

561
00:38:07,687 --> 00:38:10,956
Don't touch her.
Don't you...

562
00:38:11,024 --> 00:38:15,060
Surely she deserves a chance to
fight this herself.

563
00:38:15,128 --> 00:38:19,497
Just one more day.

564
00:38:19,565 --> 00:38:21,900
In God's name.

565
00:38:21,967 --> 00:38:24,436
Till dawn, then.

566
00:38:24,504 --> 00:38:26,472
If you cannot
solve this by morning,

567
00:38:26,540 --> 00:38:29,241
we must burn
this evil out of them.

568
00:38:43,358 --> 00:38:45,425
Foolish fire.

569
00:38:52,834 --> 00:38:55,803
(Woman screams) No!

570
00:39:01,309 --> 00:39:04,778
I'm going to fly for you,
Leo, fly to the sun.

571
00:39:32,773 --> 00:39:38,278
You're on Florentine soil, you
sheep-biting scut and I want you out. Now.

572
00:39:38,345 --> 00:39:40,981
- Tough talk from the golden boy...
- (Sniggering)

573
00:39:41,048 --> 00:39:43,049
..without your brother
to back it up.

574
00:39:43,117 --> 00:39:44,951
(Sniggering)

575
00:39:45,019 --> 00:39:48,255
No matter. It won't be long till the
both of you are run out of town.

576
00:39:48,322 --> 00:39:50,356
- How do you figure that?
- Simple.

577
00:39:50,424 --> 00:39:54,160
Rome has more men.
And the Lord on its side.

578
00:39:54,228 --> 00:39:56,529
Well, we've got ten
pipe organ muskets

579
00:39:56,597 --> 00:40:01,567
capable of firing
33 rounds a minute on ours.

580
00:40:01,635 --> 00:40:04,170
Ten guns?

581
00:40:04,238 --> 00:40:06,907
Good to know,
thank you for that.

582
00:40:06,974 --> 00:40:09,676
(Laughter)

583
00:40:23,191 --> 00:40:25,058
I'll be fine on my own.

584
00:40:25,126 --> 00:40:27,727
As you wish,
Signora.

585
00:40:27,795 --> 00:40:29,930
We're starting
to eliminate suspects.

586
00:40:29,998 --> 00:40:32,632
<i>Some of the counters,</i>
<i>the cooks.</i>

587
00:40:32,700 --> 00:40:34,768
<i>The circle of suspicion</i>
<i>grows smaller.</i>

588
00:40:34,835 --> 00:40:37,104
- (Knock at door)
- Most will prove loyal.

589
00:40:37,171 --> 00:40:38,872
<i>One will slip.</i>

590
00:40:38,940 --> 00:40:40,974
And then we'll have him.

591
00:41:09,038 --> 00:41:10,438
I didn't send for you.

592
00:41:10,506 --> 00:41:14,342
I think you did.
I felt it.

593
00:41:15,611 --> 00:41:18,713
Matters of state obsess me.

594
00:41:18,781 --> 00:41:19,981
Please go.

595
00:41:20,049 --> 00:41:22,684
There are those who
saw me arrive -

596
00:41:22,752 --> 00:41:26,721
Gualberto...
Officers of the Night.

597
00:41:28,057 --> 00:41:31,126
And they know I only
come here for you.

598
00:41:31,194 --> 00:41:34,629
They may think that
you finished with me...

599
00:41:34,697 --> 00:41:36,097
prematurely.

600
00:41:36,165 --> 00:41:39,034
They'll think what
I'll have them think.

601
00:41:39,102 --> 00:41:40,469
I don't want you here.

602
00:41:40,537 --> 00:41:43,039
No.

603
00:41:43,106 --> 00:41:44,474
Of course you don't.

604
00:42:13,537 --> 00:42:15,471
(Panting)

605
00:42:23,547 --> 00:42:25,481
(Grunts)

606
00:42:38,195 --> 00:42:39,762
You're troubled.

607
00:42:39,830 --> 00:42:43,132
Tell me what it is.

608
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:47,036
Is it the spy?

609
00:42:47,104 --> 00:42:49,639
Your wife.

610
00:42:49,706 --> 00:42:53,576
She summoned me
this morning.

611
00:42:53,644 --> 00:42:55,745
- I'll have words with her.
- No, please don't.

612
00:42:55,812 --> 00:42:59,481
Her actions were only out
of concern for your safety.

613
00:43:01,518 --> 00:43:05,120
My love, this traitor
could be anyone,

614
00:43:05,188 --> 00:43:07,323
no matter how close
they are to you.

615
00:43:07,391 --> 00:43:09,224
Clarice's suspicions
are justified.

616
00:43:09,292 --> 00:43:12,061
You can't let your investigation
overlook anyone.

617
00:43:12,128 --> 00:43:14,430
Search even those
you suspect the least,

618
00:43:14,498 --> 00:43:17,099
for the threat may
reside anywhere -

619
00:43:17,167 --> 00:43:19,768
even in your own home.

620
00:43:37,654 --> 00:43:39,555
Maestro, that's 20.
Can I stop now?

621
00:43:39,622 --> 00:43:42,458
- Wash it all down.
- Why are you making me do this?

622
00:43:42,525 --> 00:43:45,828
We've eliminated
accidental causes.

623
00:43:45,895 --> 00:43:50,099
That leaves only
intentional contamination.

624
00:43:50,166 --> 00:43:53,769
- The wine and wafers are poisoned?
- Apparently not.

625
00:43:53,837 --> 00:43:57,039
It was a thought.

626
00:43:57,107 --> 00:43:59,208
Is it not possible
demons are the cause?

627
00:43:59,275 --> 00:44:00,909
It goes against logic.

628
00:44:00,977 --> 00:44:05,614
God punishes his admirers, and leaves
heathens like us unscathed?

629
00:44:05,682 --> 00:44:07,382
This has
the makings of a plot.

630
00:44:07,450 --> 00:44:09,718
Invoke the Devil,
make people afraid,

631
00:44:09,786 --> 00:44:14,122
and when they're afraid,
they stop asking questions.

632
00:44:14,190 --> 00:44:15,824
No, this isn't the work
of the Deceiver,

633
00:44:15,892 --> 00:44:18,726
this is a counter-attack.

634
00:44:18,794 --> 00:44:20,762
Rome is inducing
this possession.

635
00:44:20,829 --> 00:44:22,897
I know it.

636
00:44:22,965 --> 00:44:26,168
I just... I don't know how.

637
00:44:26,236 --> 00:44:29,071
(Man screaming)

638
00:44:29,138 --> 00:44:32,474
Aargh!

639
00:44:32,542 --> 00:44:33,642
Bertino!

640
00:44:33,710 --> 00:44:37,179
I - N - R - I.

641
00:44:37,246 --> 00:44:40,415
I carved the letters from our
Savior's cross into his neck,

642
00:44:40,483 --> 00:44:43,285
driving out the demons.

643
00:44:43,352 --> 00:44:48,590
Which of you
will I save next?

644
00:44:48,658 --> 00:44:50,292
- Devil!
- No devil.

645
00:44:50,359 --> 00:44:52,394
- Just a Medici.
- Bind him securely!

646
00:44:52,461 --> 00:44:55,696
(Screams)

647
00:44:57,166 --> 00:44:59,967
For this curse to pass
from the nuns

648
00:45:00,035 --> 00:45:02,770
to one of the Officers
of the Night,

649
00:45:02,837 --> 00:45:05,772
the answer has to be
right before us.

650
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:07,941
- What has your man eaten today?
- Nothing.

651
00:45:08,009 --> 00:45:11,644
He offered up a fast to
Our Lord to help the afflicted nuns.

652
00:45:11,712 --> 00:45:14,247
- A pious man.
- The most pious of us all.

653
00:45:14,315 --> 00:45:19,453
Every moment, he would pray to Saint
Anthony to end the women's agony.

654
00:45:21,256 --> 00:45:24,024
- How did he pray?
- Kissing the feet of the statue.

655
00:45:24,092 --> 00:45:26,560
It's been a custom
for centuries.

656
00:45:26,628 --> 00:45:28,996
Vanessa, the others -
did they practice the same custom?

657
00:45:29,064 --> 00:45:32,199
Many of the Sisters here do.

658
00:45:32,267 --> 00:45:36,737
It may be time for your patron to
shed some light on our problem.

659
00:45:36,804 --> 00:45:38,405
I need fireflies.

660
00:45:56,157 --> 00:45:58,491
A capture.

661
00:45:58,559 --> 00:46:00,126
You've taught me well.

662
00:46:00,194 --> 00:46:04,264
My first victory
is close at hand.

663
00:46:04,332 --> 00:46:09,903
You should be careful not
to press a desperate foe too hard.

664
00:46:09,971 --> 00:46:16,210
Or you may find yourself at
the mercy of a divine move.

665
00:46:16,278 --> 00:46:23,885
'The inspired play turns
a losing game into victory.'

666
00:46:23,953 --> 00:46:27,222
Have your men
douse their lanterns.

667
00:46:27,289 --> 00:46:28,923
What are the fools up to now?

668
00:46:28,991 --> 00:46:31,359
It matters not,
this ends now.

669
00:46:31,426 --> 00:46:33,928
The distinct properties
of different lights

670
00:46:33,995 --> 00:46:37,965
enable us to see clearly what may
previously have been hidden.

671
00:46:38,033 --> 00:46:41,535
'The glow of the firefly,
for instance, intensifies anything red.'

672
00:46:41,603 --> 00:46:43,737
I've used it in the past
to calibrate crimson

673
00:46:43,805 --> 00:46:45,739
in my paints to
the most specific degree.

674
00:46:45,807 --> 00:46:47,841
But what does this
have to do with the demons?

675
00:46:50,011 --> 00:46:53,781
Everything, as it turns out.

676
00:46:53,848 --> 00:46:57,118
Some fungi, for instance,

677
00:46:57,186 --> 00:47:00,488
appear bright red
in certain lights.

678
00:47:04,159 --> 00:47:05,459
(Wailing)

679
00:47:05,527 --> 00:47:07,762
Burning! Make it stop!

680
00:47:07,829 --> 00:47:09,464
I will, my child.

681
00:47:09,532 --> 00:47:13,101
Prepare them with oil.
Time to burn the devil out!

682
00:47:15,704 --> 00:47:17,405
(Groaning)

683
00:47:22,612 --> 00:47:24,380
(Woman screams)

684
00:47:24,447 --> 00:47:25,881
Brand her.

685
00:47:25,949 --> 00:47:28,851
Red ergot fungus!

686
00:47:28,919 --> 00:47:30,453
It normally grows on rye.

687
00:47:30,521 --> 00:47:34,257
The effects are dire: spasms,
vomiting, dropsy, gangrene,

688
00:47:34,325 --> 00:47:36,259
and, according to survivors,

689
00:47:36,327 --> 00:47:40,796
a distinct sensation of being
burned, as if by hellfire.

690
00:47:40,864 --> 00:47:42,364
It scrambles the mind,
you see.

691
00:47:42,432 --> 00:47:44,533
It causes hallucinations
and mania.

692
00:47:44,601 --> 00:47:48,004
Your mind is as scrambled as theirs, Da Vinci.
Now move aside or burn.

693
00:47:48,071 --> 00:47:51,473
We must cleanse this convent,
cauterize the infection.

694
00:47:51,541 --> 00:47:53,442
The nuns are beyond help,

695
00:47:53,510 --> 00:47:55,577
victims
of a spiritual assault.

696
00:47:55,645 --> 00:47:57,679
On that account,
I agree with you.

697
00:47:57,747 --> 00:48:02,717
An assault perpetrated by agents who
would seek to weaponize the Holy Spirit.

698
00:48:05,454 --> 00:48:09,456
The feet of the statue outside
are dusted with ergot.

699
00:48:09,524 --> 00:48:13,627
All of the victims kissed the feet of
Saint Anthony before falling sick.

700
00:48:13,695 --> 00:48:18,265
All of the stricken Sisters, Vanessa
- even your pious Officer, Bertino.

701
00:48:18,333 --> 00:48:20,068
To a person.

702
00:48:20,135 --> 00:48:22,403
- What you're suggesting is absurd!
- Is it?

703
00:48:22,471 --> 00:48:25,206
Then why have neither you nor
Captain Grunwald's men fallen sick?

704
00:48:25,273 --> 00:48:27,275
Hmm?

705
00:48:27,342 --> 00:48:29,511
Why aren't heretics
like Signor Medici,

706
00:48:29,578 --> 00:48:32,347
or young Nico,
or myself fallen sick?

707
00:48:32,414 --> 00:48:34,983
It's because we made no
obeisance to the statue.

708
00:48:35,051 --> 00:48:36,618
Nor did you or your men.

709
00:48:36,686 --> 00:48:39,387
I won't stand for this fatuous
slander another moment.

710
00:48:39,455 --> 00:48:43,090
Well, all you need to do is kiss the
feet of Saint Anthony to prove me wrong.

711
00:48:47,963 --> 00:48:50,931
"Red ergot"?

712
00:48:50,999 --> 00:48:53,167
Who ever heard
of such a thing?

713
00:48:53,235 --> 00:48:56,171
Stop! I will tell you.

714
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:59,574
A historian by the name
of Geoffroy du Breuil

715
00:48:59,642 --> 00:49:02,611
recorded one such outbreak
in the 12th century.

716
00:49:02,679 --> 00:49:07,850
Perhaps you have a copy of it,
hidden amongst your Secret Archives?

717
00:49:11,255 --> 00:49:13,689
A treatment for
this affliction exists.

718
00:49:13,757 --> 00:49:16,993
It's a green ointment of these
herbs and vinegar,

719
00:49:17,060 --> 00:49:19,428
and a vigorous regime
of leeching.

720
00:49:22,565 --> 00:49:27,035
If we use this, we may still be able
to save those who've fallen sick.

721
00:49:27,102 --> 00:49:29,237
Well done, Da Vinci.

722
00:49:31,774 --> 00:49:33,141
MOTHER ALBINO:
Thank you Maestro.

723
00:49:35,945 --> 00:49:37,479
(Chuckles)

724
00:49:52,963 --> 00:49:55,164
(Gasps)

725
00:50:18,522 --> 00:50:20,757
(Gasps)

726
00:50:25,830 --> 00:50:27,363
You know why you
brought us here.

727
00:50:28,666 --> 00:50:31,201
We died to prove your genius.

728
00:50:36,275 --> 00:50:38,376
(Heartbeat pounds)

729
00:50:45,752 --> 00:50:48,453
Riario!

730
00:50:50,556 --> 00:50:54,193
(Yells)

731
00:51:09,375 --> 00:51:12,311
Tell me what to say
to win the other key.

732
00:51:12,378 --> 00:51:15,814
Tell me what to say
to win the key!

733
00:51:15,882 --> 00:51:17,182
Tell me!

734
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:24,523
I am a son of Earth
and starry Heaven.

735
00:51:25,825 --> 00:51:30,728
I am a son of Earth
and starry...

736
00:51:36,870 --> 00:51:38,370
Mother?

737
00:51:38,438 --> 00:51:40,439
(Hawk cries)

738
00:51:46,847 --> 00:51:48,247
Mother?

739
00:51:48,315 --> 00:51:51,584
GIULIANO: Da Vinci...
can you hear me?

740
00:51:51,652 --> 00:51:53,620
I think he's starting
to respond.

741
00:52:01,596 --> 00:52:04,999
Maestro...are you alright?

742
00:52:05,067 --> 00:52:08,469
You kept stirring
and crying out.

743
00:52:08,537 --> 00:52:11,306
Vanessa's lips.

744
00:52:11,374 --> 00:52:14,976
Vanessa's lips...
they bore the poison.

745
00:52:18,347 --> 00:52:20,748
- I was in a deep vision.
- Yes, we know.

746
00:52:20,816 --> 00:52:24,252
The Sisters have been
treating you all day long.

747
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:27,622
- Vanessa? Is she -
- Perfectly fine.

748
00:52:32,228 --> 00:52:35,764
You've kept Rome from claiming
a beautiful victim.

749
00:52:35,832 --> 00:52:37,900
It's all over now.

750
00:52:37,967 --> 00:52:40,502
For me,
I fear it's just begun.

751
00:52:42,472 --> 00:52:44,773
(Shudders)

752
00:52:44,841 --> 00:52:46,575
"Satan,

753
00:52:46,643 --> 00:52:48,244
for it is written,

754
00:52:48,312 --> 00:52:52,849
you shall worship the Lord your
God, and Him only shall you serve."

755
00:52:52,916 --> 00:52:54,684
You know your scripture.

756
00:52:54,752 --> 00:52:58,722
I now know a great many things,
Cardinal.

757
00:53:01,726 --> 00:53:05,095
That's a message worth
delivering to Riario.

758
00:53:05,163 --> 00:53:10,601
Believe me, Count Riario
and I have much to discuss.

759
00:53:17,141 --> 00:53:20,110
How did they do it,
Maestro?

760
00:53:20,178 --> 00:53:22,245
It wouldn't have been hard.

761
00:53:22,313 --> 00:53:27,117
The Convent's open to all
worshipers, as the Prioress said.

762
00:53:27,185 --> 00:53:30,487
Just one single, sympathetic
agent could have strolled in,

763
00:53:30,555 --> 00:53:34,725
contaminated
the toes of Saint Anthony...

764
00:53:34,793 --> 00:53:38,862
..and waited.

765
00:53:38,930 --> 00:53:43,633
And then -
Abyssus abyssum invocat -

766
00:53:43,701 --> 00:53:45,735
'One misstep
leads to another.'

767
00:54:09,094 --> 00:54:12,530
LORENZO:
'They poisoned the pious.'

768
00:54:12,597 --> 00:54:15,699
Oh, God,
have mercy on the believers.

769
00:54:15,767 --> 00:54:18,602
- We just bought Florence more time.
- Hm.

770
00:54:24,676 --> 00:54:27,477
- What is it?
- A rider brought word.

771
00:54:27,545 --> 00:54:30,847
Your brother let slip
how many guns we have.

772
00:54:30,915 --> 00:54:33,149
Production continues, but...

773
00:54:33,217 --> 00:54:35,218
Giuliano could've hidden his
error but admitted it.

774
00:54:35,286 --> 00:54:37,454
For all the good that does.

775
00:54:37,522 --> 00:54:41,758
Rome will strike when it knows
exactly what it faces.

776
00:54:41,826 --> 00:54:44,027
We'll have to produce
even more guns now.

777
00:54:46,297 --> 00:54:49,866
Oh, yes, I ordered a full search
of the palace, no stone unturned.

778
00:54:49,933 --> 00:54:51,200
Have you discovered
something?

779
00:54:51,268 --> 00:54:53,902
Perhaps we should discuss
this in private.

780
00:54:53,970 --> 00:55:08,650
Show me now, Conti, or I'll think
it's you with something to hide.

781
00:55:08,718 --> 00:55:10,219
Where did you find this?

782
00:55:10,286 --> 00:55:12,488
Where?

783
00:55:12,555 --> 00:55:14,123
In Signor Becchi's quarters.

784
00:55:14,190 --> 00:55:16,091
You lie!

785
00:55:16,159 --> 00:55:17,860
These are not mine!

786
00:55:17,928 --> 00:55:20,396
It was on a shelf,
il Magnifico. I swear.

787
00:55:20,463 --> 00:55:22,131
Hidden amongst other books.

788
00:55:22,198 --> 00:55:26,536
It was you.

789
00:55:26,603 --> 00:55:28,270
All along,
the traitor was you.

790
00:55:28,338 --> 00:55:30,339
Lorenzo,
this is a mistake.

791
00:55:30,407 --> 00:55:32,741
Roman Scudos.

792
00:55:32,809 --> 00:55:34,176
Papers with the Papal Seal.

793
00:55:34,244 --> 00:55:38,781
A list of locations to hide them
for delivery to Rome.

794
00:55:38,848 --> 00:55:42,285
Found in my home!

795
00:55:42,352 --> 00:55:44,020
- Please, Lorenzo...
- Silence!

796
00:55:44,087 --> 00:55:46,255
Or I'll cut out
your tongue myself.

797
00:55:50,427 --> 00:55:51,627
Remove him.

798
00:55:56,500 --> 00:55:58,234
To the Bargello.

799
00:56:01,605 --> 00:56:03,473
RIARIO: 'It would appear
you've won again.'

800
00:56:05,343 --> 00:56:08,344
There will be other games.

801
00:56:08,412 --> 00:56:11,948
It's difficult, choosing
which path to follow,

802
00:56:12,016 --> 00:56:17,254
trying to see a way through all
the strategies you've initiated.

803
00:56:17,321 --> 00:56:19,022
No.

804
00:56:19,090 --> 00:56:22,359
No, that's not difficult.

805
00:56:22,427 --> 00:56:25,662
You simply have to believe.

806
00:56:25,730 --> 00:56:28,699
In my experience, there's
nothing simple about belief.

807
00:56:28,766 --> 00:56:31,502
That's the difference
between you and me.

808
00:56:34,506 --> 00:56:35,773
Not the only one.

809
00:56:50,023 --> 00:56:52,891
I heard you.

810
00:56:52,959 --> 00:56:54,626
Tell Zo to dispose of these.

811
00:56:54,694 --> 00:56:56,361
They've served their purpose.

812
00:57:01,334 --> 00:57:05,470
I gather he quite prefers
it in there, no?

813
00:57:07,973 --> 00:57:10,542
He doesn't seem to be
interested in his freedom,

814
00:57:10,609 --> 00:57:13,311
maybe he likes
his pretty cage.

815
00:57:29,261 --> 00:57:32,563
Ignis fatuus.

816
00:57:42,341 --> 00:57:46,211
As one game ends,
another begins.
