1
00:00:02,849 --> 00:00:04,402
Fifteen oh-seven.

2
00:00:04,548 --> 00:00:09,548
We Borgia are Rome,
now and for eternity.

3
00:00:09,767 --> 00:00:12,407
The Farnese attempt
to make Rome their own...

4
00:00:12,487 --> 00:00:14,787
I know where Cesare is.

5
00:00:14,791 --> 00:00:18,471
Now perhaps we can talk
about the future of my brother.

6
00:00:18,591 --> 00:00:20,351
We should kiss your ring.

7
00:00:20,431 --> 00:00:23,871
Lucrezia struggles
to trust her new family...

8
00:00:23,951 --> 00:00:27,831
I too know the pain of a family
at war from within.

9
00:00:27,911 --> 00:00:30,831
I want to bring Giovanni
and little Rodrigo with us to Ferrara.

10
00:00:30,911 --> 00:00:33,711
Giovanni is legally Cesare's son,
not yours.

11
00:00:33,831 --> 00:00:36,951
I am sorry, child of mine.
Please forgive me.

12
00:00:37,031 --> 00:00:40,511
Ippolito d'Este, you are hereby banished.

13
00:00:40,591 --> 00:00:43,031
If I had blinded Ippolito,
you would have executed me!

14
00:00:43,111 --> 00:00:46,751
...while Cesare Borgia
remains imprisoned in Spain.

15
00:00:46,831 --> 00:00:50,191
I wanted to raise our family
to the heavens.

16
00:00:54,109 --> 00:02:05,843

17
00:02:11,508 --> 00:02:16,148
And behold, an angel of the Lord
stood next to him,

18
00:02:16,202 --> 00:02:19,402
and a light shone in the cell.

19
00:02:19,482 --> 00:02:23,842
The angel struck Peter on the side
and woke him saying, "Get up. Quickly."

20
00:02:23,922 --> 00:02:27,922
- And the chains fell off Peter's wrists.
- I am not Peter.

21
00:02:28,002 --> 00:02:31,802
I am Prometheus.
I brought mankind fire.

22
00:02:31,882 --> 00:02:35,442
And for my generosity,
I am shackled to a rock.

23
00:02:35,522 --> 00:02:40,002
Let us take a pause.
You to rest your fingers. Me to... Aah.

24
00:02:40,082 --> 00:02:44,202
Juanito, take him to the kitchen.
Have wine, and bring me some.

25
00:02:45,642 --> 00:02:49,762
- There is also this, from Corinthians...
- Enough fiction, padre.

26
00:02:49,842 --> 00:02:55,922
What of the real world? What of my wife,
my daughters, son, mother and sister?

27
00:02:56,002 --> 00:03:02,202
Sadly no news. Except your Charlotte's
brother, King Jean, faces civil war.

28
00:03:02,282 --> 00:03:05,162
King Ferdinand wants to absorb
Navarre into Spain

29
00:03:05,242 --> 00:03:08,202
and has hired a French mercenary,
Louis de Beaumont,

30
00:03:08,282 --> 00:03:10,202
to lead the subversives.

31
00:03:10,282 --> 00:03:15,362
Navarre, the most insignificant
kingdom on Earth.

32
00:03:18,762 --> 00:03:22,762
Cesare Borgia, you have been
found guilty in absentia

33
00:03:22,842 --> 00:03:27,202
of attempting to assassinate
His Most Catholic Majesty,

34
00:03:27,282 --> 00:03:29,882
Ferdinand d'Aragon.

35
00:03:29,962 --> 00:03:32,642
You will be brought
to the Plaza Mayor in Madrid,

36
00:03:32,722 --> 00:03:36,602
where you will be given
a chance to repent

37
00:03:36,682 --> 00:03:40,562
before you are executed.

38
00:03:40,682 --> 00:03:42,482
Prepare for departure.

39
00:03:46,602 --> 00:03:49,802
- And so the day has come.
- The day of reckoning.

40
00:03:49,882 --> 00:03:52,322
The day of escape.

41
00:03:52,402 --> 00:03:55,522
You have examined every nook in this suite

42
00:03:55,602 --> 00:03:58,202
and found no cranny
to squeeze your freedom through.

43
00:03:58,282 --> 00:04:02,042
I was up at dawn,
devising a near flawless plan.

44
00:04:02,122 --> 00:04:05,522
In order to put this escape in motion,
I lack only one ingredient.

45
00:04:05,602 --> 00:04:07,562
What ingredient is that?

46
00:04:07,642 --> 00:04:09,082
- You.
- Me?

47
00:04:09,162 --> 00:04:13,682
- Be my guardian angel. Break my chains.
- And risk retribution? Why?

48
00:04:13,762 --> 00:04:18,002
Because you are a man from another time,
another place.

49
00:04:21,042 --> 00:04:26,162
You were a Jew that became a Christian
to avoid Ferdinand's Inquisition.

50
00:04:26,282 --> 00:04:29,122
You became a priest to hide your truth

51
00:04:29,202 --> 00:04:31,762
deeper into the bowels
of Holy Mother Church.

52
00:04:31,842 --> 00:04:38,002
Yes. I stood silent
as my fellow Jews were tortured.

53
00:04:38,082 --> 00:04:40,602
Will you stand silent
as I am tortured?

54
00:04:42,282 --> 00:04:45,682
How did you learn my story?

55
00:04:45,762 --> 00:04:50,082
We Borgia are masters at uncovering
that which strives to remain hidden.

56
00:04:54,402 --> 00:04:59,762
- I will keep your arcanum safe.
- And I will aid your escape.

57
00:04:59,842 --> 00:05:02,802
But to go where?

58
00:05:04,082 --> 00:05:09,082
Navarre. Gold smuggled to me
by my brother-in-law King Jean.

59
00:05:09,202 --> 00:05:13,362
He begs me to come to Navarre
and quell the rebellion.

60
00:05:13,442 --> 00:05:16,522
Alea jacta est.

61
00:05:21,722 --> 00:05:23,562
Eminence.

62
00:05:32,362 --> 00:05:35,162
- Eminence. Greetings.
- Ippolito.

63
00:05:35,282 --> 00:05:38,002
Welcome back from exile.

64
00:05:38,082 --> 00:05:39,962
The year passed fast.

65
00:05:40,042 --> 00:05:43,562
Or slow, Ferrante, when one longs
for the familiaritas of home.

66
00:05:43,642 --> 00:05:48,442
Lucrezia Borgia, duchess and regent
of Ferrara, will hear petitions.

67
00:05:50,802 --> 00:05:52,442
Where is Alfonso?

68
00:05:52,522 --> 00:05:54,722
Venice, negotiating an alliance
with the doge.

69
00:05:54,802 --> 00:05:58,722
In his absence
our brother appointed Lucrezia as regent.

70
00:05:58,842 --> 00:06:00,002
Not you?

71
00:06:00,082 --> 00:06:04,322
I see that my husband's brother Ippolito
has rejoined our family.

72
00:06:04,402 --> 00:06:06,842
Salutations, Gracious Lady.

73
00:06:06,922 --> 00:06:08,562
I have a petition.

74
00:06:10,162 --> 00:06:13,602
I ask you to intercede
with my half-brother Giulio,

75
00:06:13,682 --> 00:06:17,202
whom I have wronged
and whose forgiveness I seek.

76
00:06:20,842 --> 00:06:22,682
Yes, I can see you.

77
00:06:22,762 --> 00:06:25,922
Not fully, but well enough
to know if a dagger comes my way.

78
00:06:27,242 --> 00:06:30,602
The Holy Masses said here, in your name,
have healed your sight.

79
00:06:30,682 --> 00:06:32,922
Anger has healed me,
a vision of vengeance.

80
00:06:33,002 --> 00:06:37,522
Giulio, no. You must forgive Ippolito.
Forgive.

81
00:06:37,602 --> 00:06:41,802
Only you, Lucretia, could say such words
to me and not be assaulted.

82
00:06:41,922 --> 00:06:43,962
Your heart is too pure.

83
00:06:44,042 --> 00:06:46,762
We're not discussing my heart, but yours.

84
00:06:51,842 --> 00:06:56,602
Let the light of God shine in your heart,
if not your eyes.

85
00:07:07,402 --> 00:07:11,002
Giulio.

86
00:07:11,082 --> 00:07:17,202
I am the most humble of penitents,
sorrowful over my complot.

87
00:07:17,282 --> 00:07:19,162
Desperate to be your good brother.

88
00:07:21,682 --> 00:07:27,722
- Please, will you absolve me?
- To ask is easy.

89
00:07:27,842 --> 00:07:30,402
To do so is not.

90
00:07:35,442 --> 00:07:38,562
Now you see the way I see.

91
00:07:38,642 --> 00:07:41,802
Though your cabal could not have been
more despicable...

92
00:07:43,842 --> 00:07:45,922
...I pardon you.

93
00:07:46,002 --> 00:07:48,082
Share the sign of peace.

94
00:07:52,162 --> 00:07:56,842
To celebrate the feast of San Santiago,
have a cup of wine.

95
00:07:56,922 --> 00:07:59,322
Warden de Guzman would not approve.

96
00:07:59,402 --> 00:08:02,282
He is too deep in his cups to care.

97
00:08:02,362 --> 00:08:06,402
If our Lord served his apostles wine
at the Last Supper,

98
00:08:06,482 --> 00:08:11,162
how could a small sip
by you fine men be wrong?

99
00:08:22,722 --> 00:08:26,842
The guards gulp wine as fish gulp the sea,
unaware that each taste is polluted.

100
00:08:26,922 --> 00:08:28,362
They are already dead.

101
00:08:28,442 --> 00:08:31,922
A priest who kills.
You would thrive at the Vatican.

102
00:08:58,082 --> 00:09:01,842
Stop! Stop! Go after him!

103
00:09:06,162 --> 00:09:10,602
- Come on, Juanito.
- Borgia is escaping! Hurry!

104
00:09:11,442 --> 00:09:13,962
Stop Borgia!

105
00:09:16,082 --> 00:09:19,562
- He is getting away.
- Summon more guards.

106
00:09:19,642 --> 00:09:24,322
Yes, sir.
More guards! More guards!

107
00:09:52,162 --> 00:09:56,002
I cannot see. Is he alive?
It is too dark.

108
00:09:56,082 --> 00:09:59,642
- He has a horse! Get Borgia back!
- Hurry. Get on the horse.

109
00:10:00,842 --> 00:10:02,922
Let us go.

110
00:10:08,682 --> 00:10:11,002
Urgent news from Spain.

111
00:10:11,082 --> 00:10:14,082
Cesare Borgia has escaped.

112
00:10:14,202 --> 00:10:18,562
A reward of 5000 ducats is offered
to the man

113
00:10:18,682 --> 00:10:24,882
who returns Cesare Borgia to justice.
Signed: Jiménez Cardinal de Cisneros,

114
00:10:24,962 --> 00:10:29,482
Archbishop of Toledo,
Grand Inquisitor of Spain.

115
00:10:29,562 --> 00:10:34,682
Five thousand? We will increase
the sum to 10,000!

116
00:10:34,802 --> 00:10:36,642
Twenty!

117
00:10:36,722 --> 00:10:39,842
- And I will contribute another 10.
- And I another.

118
00:10:39,922 --> 00:10:43,082
Another 20!

119
00:10:52,322 --> 00:10:55,002
My hero, home at last.

120
00:10:55,082 --> 00:10:56,802
With peace in hand.

121
00:10:56,882 --> 00:10:59,962
Give welcome to Eduardo Ferrete,
ambassador of Venice.

122
00:11:01,562 --> 00:11:04,442
We have had our share
of peace in Ferrara as well.

123
00:11:04,522 --> 00:11:09,402
God's breath, I am amazed and anxious
to hear the details of this happy reunion.

124
00:11:09,482 --> 00:11:13,602
But the business of government
must be attended to first.

125
00:11:17,082 --> 00:11:22,282
The doge and I have worked out a pact
of mutual defense and security.

126
00:11:22,362 --> 00:11:27,682
Wait, I am not alone
on this great occasion.

127
00:11:27,762 --> 00:11:32,202
I ask my superior duchess
to place her signature beside mine.

128
00:11:34,042 --> 00:11:38,082
And my brothers, Ferrante,
Sigismondo and Ippolito.

129
00:11:39,762 --> 00:11:44,202
- You have forgotten Giulio.
- Oh, yes. Giulio, please sign.

130
00:11:46,522 --> 00:11:50,682
My palm is cramped from being
too long in a fist. I decline.

131
00:12:03,922 --> 00:12:06,242
Wait here while I walk alone.

132
00:12:12,562 --> 00:12:17,082
My father often spoke of the calming
effects of Jativa's orchards.

133
00:12:44,282 --> 00:12:47,042
A meal extraordinaire.

134
00:12:47,122 --> 00:12:51,202
We are grateful
for your presence, Holiness.

135
00:12:51,282 --> 00:12:55,082
- A liqueur?
- A parfait d'amour, if you have some.

136
00:12:55,162 --> 00:12:57,722
- Of course.
- Fresh from France.

137
00:12:57,802 --> 00:13:01,762
Holy Father, your success
on the battlefield is stunning.

138
00:13:01,842 --> 00:13:04,362
Recapturing Perugia and Bologna.

139
00:13:04,442 --> 00:13:08,642
The Papal States will be unified,
if not by piety, then by severity.

140
00:13:08,722 --> 00:13:13,562
But grim war is hardly conversation
for such an enchanting evening.

141
00:13:13,642 --> 00:13:18,202
What of Cupid's bow, Giulia?
Which fortunate man is wooing you?

142
00:13:18,282 --> 00:13:20,282
I have given up the male species.

143
00:13:20,402 --> 00:13:24,482
I have had my fill of the ambitious,
the dashing, the brilliant.

144
00:13:26,642 --> 00:13:29,882
I would prefer to do some good works
for my fellow Christians.

145
00:13:29,962 --> 00:13:33,322
And in that way win Roman hearts.

146
00:13:33,402 --> 00:13:37,042
A necessary goal if your brother
is to sit on the papal throne.

147
00:13:37,122 --> 00:13:39,722
Once we are stiff in our tomb.

148
00:13:39,842 --> 00:13:42,602
- Pope Julius, I...
- Alessandro should succeed you.

149
00:13:42,682 --> 00:13:46,442
- He would make a marvelous pontiff.
- With you as his counselor.

150
00:13:46,522 --> 00:13:49,202
We have no doubt.

151
00:13:49,282 --> 00:13:50,802
La Bella.

152
00:14:07,842 --> 00:14:11,002
- Hola.
- Who are you?

153
00:14:11,082 --> 00:14:14,002
Be at ease, young Duke.
I am your uncle Cesare.

154
00:14:14,082 --> 00:14:17,282
- The outlaw?
- To some.

155
00:14:17,362 --> 00:14:20,402
- To others...
- Why are you here?

156
00:14:20,482 --> 00:14:22,442
We are familia.

157
00:14:24,762 --> 00:14:29,082
I see that della Rovere has ousted
dead Borgias as well as living ones.

158
00:14:29,162 --> 00:14:32,842
Our mother's sister, who cares for us,
uses the worst words

159
00:14:32,922 --> 00:14:38,242
when speaking of our murdered father,
our papal grandfather and you.

160
00:14:39,282 --> 00:14:42,002
Every ducat has two sides.

161
00:14:42,082 --> 00:14:45,362
No Borgia is perfect.
Yet we have tried to make a difference.

162
00:14:45,442 --> 00:14:48,962
Did our father? Was he a good man?

163
00:14:52,042 --> 00:14:55,202
Yes. Yes, he was.

164
00:14:55,282 --> 00:15:00,842
And he would be filled with dulcet delight
to see how handsome and beautiful you are.

165
00:15:00,922 --> 00:15:03,922
You must try, in the ever-shifting tides
of your life,

166
00:15:04,002 --> 00:15:08,762
to be better beings than your father,
your grandfather and me.

167
00:15:08,842 --> 00:15:12,162
- Imitate your Aunt Lucrezia.
- I would like to meet her.

168
00:15:12,242 --> 00:15:15,602
She sends us gifts on our birthdays
and our saint's days.

169
00:15:15,682 --> 00:15:19,562
I am not surprised.
She is God's grandest soul.

170
00:15:19,642 --> 00:15:23,122
May... I kiss you, Uncle?

171
00:15:23,202 --> 00:15:25,722
That would give me endless joy.

172
00:15:30,202 --> 00:15:31,842
And you?

173
00:15:34,002 --> 00:15:38,722
Even great men, Duke of Gandia,
crave affection.

174
00:15:49,522 --> 00:15:52,402
Whose horse is this? Who are you?

175
00:15:52,482 --> 00:15:56,202
He is here! Borgia! Borgia in the chapel!

176
00:15:56,282 --> 00:15:58,482
Cesare Borgia is in the chapel!

177
00:16:07,522 --> 00:16:10,602
Ah, Giulia.

178
00:16:10,682 --> 00:16:13,562
Welcome.

179
00:16:16,082 --> 00:16:18,602
Sit.

180
00:16:18,682 --> 00:16:21,802
You are curious why we beckoned you.

181
00:16:21,922 --> 00:16:26,562
A papal summons is always...
titillating.

182
00:16:28,002 --> 00:16:33,802
We have a question to ask,
a question of a very personal nature.

183
00:16:41,522 --> 00:16:45,322
Who was better in bed,
Rodrigo or Cesare?

184
00:16:45,402 --> 00:16:47,922
Holiness, I will not answer.

185
00:16:48,002 --> 00:16:52,922
And if we, as supreme pontiff,
order you to reply?

186
00:16:53,042 --> 00:16:57,442
I would hope the Holy Father would not
place my soul in such a danger.

187
00:16:57,522 --> 00:17:00,922
Clever girl. Another question.

188
00:17:01,002 --> 00:17:03,562
Would you enjoy kissing us?

189
00:17:03,642 --> 00:17:07,282
Not our ring... our lips.

190
00:17:07,362 --> 00:17:10,482
Again, I will not respond.

191
00:17:12,922 --> 00:17:17,002
This time, we insist.

192
00:17:17,082 --> 00:17:23,682
A kiss must come unexpected.
To ask for a kiss deflates its purpose.

193
00:17:26,082 --> 00:17:33,042
Very clever. Which makes us want
to taste your tongue all the more.

194
00:17:35,042 --> 00:17:39,042
On the street, they whisper
that you suffer from the French disease.

195
00:17:47,842 --> 00:17:50,922
And I fear you want to sleep with me
not because of who I am,

196
00:17:51,002 --> 00:17:54,082
but because of who I slept with before.

197
00:17:54,162 --> 00:17:58,402
You compete with Rodrigo Borgia
even dead.

198
00:17:58,522 --> 00:18:00,242
And with Cesare.

199
00:18:01,922 --> 00:18:03,842
You may go.

200
00:18:10,642 --> 00:18:14,082
- Well? What did he want?
- As I predicted. Sex.

201
00:18:14,162 --> 00:18:17,402
- Did you?
- No.

202
00:18:17,482 --> 00:18:19,842
I thought I could, but...

203
00:18:22,082 --> 00:18:26,362
Alessandro, I just murdered us both.

204
00:18:37,402 --> 00:18:41,682
Lucrezia, please forgive me
for my cruelty to your cousin Angela.

205
00:18:41,762 --> 00:18:46,002
- For bedding and then abandoning her.
- I do forgive you.

206
00:18:46,082 --> 00:18:49,162
In that kind act I see
that you have feelings for me.

207
00:18:49,242 --> 00:18:51,402
Profound feelings, just as I do for you.

208
00:18:51,482 --> 00:18:56,282
In my blindness, the image of you
is the only one that remains luculent.

209
00:18:56,362 --> 00:18:59,402
- I love you.
- I must go.

210
00:18:59,482 --> 00:19:02,682
No, no. Stupid me.

211
00:19:02,762 --> 00:19:05,602
I had intended to make a clear
and forthright presentation.

212
00:19:05,682 --> 00:19:09,842
- Presentation of what?
- Our future.

213
00:19:09,922 --> 00:19:13,082
An opportunity has arisen
that will alter our lives.

214
00:19:13,162 --> 00:19:17,442
Before you came to Ferrara, my father made
an enemy of Count Albertino Boschetti.

215
00:19:17,522 --> 00:19:20,522
I know that name.
Did not Alfonso recently rule against

216
00:19:20,602 --> 00:19:22,802
the count's claim
to the fief of San Cesario?

217
00:19:22,882 --> 00:19:26,522
Yes. And so Alfonso too is an enemy.

218
00:19:26,602 --> 00:19:32,722
Boschetti is a wealthy man, willing
to finance a change in government.

219
00:19:32,802 --> 00:19:36,162
- A coup to overthrow Alfonso?
- Such words are misleading.

220
00:19:36,242 --> 00:19:39,042
Such words mislead to tragedy.

221
00:19:39,122 --> 00:19:41,402
Be careful what you say as I must inform

222
00:19:41,482 --> 00:19:43,562
- my husband of your plans.
- And cause my death?

223
00:19:43,642 --> 00:19:47,202
If I do not tell Alfonso,
you will cause his death!

224
00:19:47,282 --> 00:19:50,242
Did I not say that to include her
was folly?

225
00:19:50,322 --> 00:19:51,962
Ferrante? You are a part of this madness?

226
00:19:51,987 --> 00:19:57,082
When Alfonso falls, as next in line,
I will be duke. A far better duke.

227
00:19:57,162 --> 00:20:00,082
- And you will play a major role.
- Is no one to be trusted?

228
00:20:00,162 --> 00:20:04,802
You are. If I did not love you
down to the center of my soul,

229
00:20:04,882 --> 00:20:07,882
would I have risked all in telling you?

230
00:20:09,482 --> 00:20:12,082
She will expose us.

231
00:20:12,162 --> 00:20:17,322
Until I can make you my wife,
you are my prisoner.

232
00:20:20,282 --> 00:20:26,922
His Holiness commands the presence
of Giulia Farnese Migliorati.

233
00:20:28,802 --> 00:20:31,402
Judgement day dawns, Fregnese.

234
00:20:37,842 --> 00:20:41,042
Giulia Farnese Migliorati,

235
00:20:41,122 --> 00:20:47,002
we have long suspected that you were
of the lowest moral character.

236
00:20:47,082 --> 00:20:51,602
You doubt my moral character?
You tried to seduce me.

237
00:20:53,922 --> 00:20:56,082
Silence!

238
00:20:56,162 --> 00:21:02,002
We were testing you. But you proved
yourself surprisingly veracious.

239
00:21:03,202 --> 00:21:07,402
So, we will...

240
00:21:09,722 --> 00:21:11,402
...reward you.

241
00:21:12,922 --> 00:21:16,042
We hereby name you

242
00:21:16,122 --> 00:21:20,202
papal governor of Carbognano.

243
00:21:21,642 --> 00:21:25,882
Holiness, I am awed by your gift.

244
00:21:25,962 --> 00:21:29,082
I was certain you despised me.

245
00:21:29,162 --> 00:21:35,522
Principle gives birth to dogma,
but motive justifies the exception.

246
00:21:35,602 --> 00:21:39,802
You will make an outstanding magistrate.

247
00:21:39,882 --> 00:21:44,842
But please, try to obey our orders.

248
00:21:51,842 --> 00:21:56,602
My dear Cesare, I do not know if you will
receive this letter, wherever you are,

249
00:21:56,682 --> 00:21:58,802
but now I am held captive.

250
00:21:58,882 --> 00:22:03,082
A spider could not weave these webs
of intrigue as intricately as the d'Este.

251
00:22:03,162 --> 00:22:06,842
The irony is, if I speak,
Giulio and Ferrante will die

252
00:22:06,922 --> 00:22:09,082
and I will remain duchess.

253
00:22:09,162 --> 00:22:14,522
If I refrain, Alfonso and Ippolito
will die and I will remain duchess.

254
00:22:19,602 --> 00:22:22,642
- Have you come to kill me?
- My love, are you all right?

255
00:22:24,642 --> 00:22:27,402
Yes. How did you know to find me
in Giulio's villa?

256
00:22:27,482 --> 00:22:31,522
This man, with the delightful name
of Tuttobono,

257
00:22:31,602 --> 00:22:35,322
has been in my secret employ,
while serving here, in Giulio's household.

258
00:22:35,402 --> 00:22:38,722
So, your plea for forgiveness was
a mere tactic to lower Giulio's guard.

259
00:22:38,802 --> 00:22:41,402
Fully expecting that
he would be treasonous, yes.

260
00:22:41,482 --> 00:22:44,522
I did not, however, suspect Ferrante's
vast ambitions

261
00:22:44,602 --> 00:22:46,362
included usurping the ducal throne.

262
00:22:46,442 --> 00:22:50,842
- The traitors have been apprehended.
- You will execute them?

263
00:22:50,922 --> 00:22:53,082
As cruelly as I am able.

264
00:22:53,162 --> 00:22:57,122
I learned a few tricks while in Rome
watching Pope Alexander dispense justice.

265
00:22:57,202 --> 00:23:00,642
Yes, my father could be vicious,
but where did such actions get him?

266
00:23:00,722 --> 00:23:05,202
He lies in a box, as dead as the men
whose lives he destroyed.

267
00:23:05,282 --> 00:23:09,082
You have often condemned your father
for beheading his cousin.

268
00:23:09,162 --> 00:23:14,202
Have you now, in age, become
that which disgusted you in youth?

269
00:23:14,282 --> 00:23:16,282
Yes.

270
00:23:39,642 --> 00:23:44,442
His Highness Prince Cesare Borgia
of the Romagna.

271
00:23:56,602 --> 00:24:00,842
- Where in the blazes of Hades is he?
- Here I am, Majesty.

272
00:24:15,842 --> 00:24:18,562
No bowing, brother.

273
00:24:28,682 --> 00:24:33,082
- My wife, Queen Catalina.
- More beautiful than your portraits.

274
00:24:33,162 --> 00:24:37,682
As are you, Prince Cesare.
And these are our children.

275
00:24:37,802 --> 00:24:43,162
I see a line of kings and queens,
generals, cardinals,

276
00:24:43,242 --> 00:24:46,402
and, I venture, one poet.

277
00:24:51,762 --> 00:24:55,042
We had heard that you were injured.

278
00:24:55,122 --> 00:25:00,682
A minor inconvenience. I am fully well.
More alive than fate would have me.

279
00:25:00,762 --> 00:25:05,922
We are blessed that our sister
Charlotte's dear husband

280
00:25:06,002 --> 00:25:08,962
graces Navarre with his eminence

281
00:25:09,042 --> 00:25:14,722
and pleased that Prince Cesare has agreed
to lead our army against the rebels.

282
00:25:25,922 --> 00:25:31,402
Let the word go forth to Louis de Beaumont
and to Ferdinand d'Aragon

283
00:25:31,482 --> 00:25:35,042
that Jean d'Albret and Catalina de Foix

284
00:25:35,162 --> 00:25:40,202
are the true and sole king and queen
of remarkable Navarre.

285
00:25:40,282 --> 00:25:43,202
Borgia!

286
00:25:44,802 --> 00:25:46,882
Borgia! Borgia! Borgia!

287
00:25:51,802 --> 00:25:54,202
The king and queen seek admittance.

288
00:25:56,162 --> 00:25:58,242
You should have
the royal physician examine your arm.

289
00:25:58,267 --> 00:26:00,602
No. I want no one to know of my pain.

290
00:26:00,682 --> 00:26:04,082
- I rely on your discretion.
- Of course, Your Highness.

291
00:26:12,002 --> 00:26:14,522
Show Jean and Catalina in.

292
00:26:23,722 --> 00:26:26,762
- Your Majesty.
- I have told you, no bowing.

293
00:26:26,842 --> 00:26:30,522
- I am a minor king, while you are...
- A prince without a throne.

294
00:26:30,602 --> 00:26:32,842
Cesare, you choose to sleep outdoors?

295
00:26:32,922 --> 00:26:36,922
After so many months locked inside
four walls, I celebrate the open air.

296
00:26:37,002 --> 00:26:40,802
Still, separated from my wondrous
Charlotte, I am not nearly happy.

297
00:26:40,882 --> 00:26:43,922
My sister wishes for nothing more
than to visit Navarre.

298
00:26:44,002 --> 00:26:47,682
But our cousin, King Louis,
refuses to grant her leave.

299
00:26:47,762 --> 00:26:52,602
My heart will not beat until I am reunited
with Charlotte, and meet my daughter.

300
00:26:52,682 --> 00:26:55,362
But we'll not wallow in what cannot be.

301
00:26:55,442 --> 00:26:58,282
I wish to confer with your military,
to strategize our victory.

302
00:26:58,362 --> 00:27:01,922
They await you in the war room,
with enormous anticipation.

303
00:27:02,002 --> 00:27:04,162
Good. We must...

304
00:27:06,282 --> 00:27:08,122
First, I must ask,

305
00:27:08,202 --> 00:27:12,402
is there any chance of a negotiated peace
between Spain and Navarre?

306
00:27:12,522 --> 00:27:15,202
None. We are French,

307
00:27:15,282 --> 00:27:18,722
and Ferdinand will never accept a Gaul
ruling Iberian soil.

308
00:27:18,842 --> 00:27:21,682
He wants a united Spanish peninsula

309
00:27:21,762 --> 00:27:25,322
and will not stop
until he conquers every windmill.

310
00:27:25,402 --> 00:27:28,522
And there is something else,
more personal.

311
00:27:28,602 --> 00:27:33,562
Ferdinand held my mother as a hostage,
accelerating her death.

312
00:27:33,642 --> 00:27:37,162
The king confuses lust of power
for love of family.

313
00:27:37,242 --> 00:27:40,482
Catalina, your mother's memory
will be avenged.

314
00:27:40,562 --> 00:27:42,122
Merci.

315
00:27:46,682 --> 00:27:50,002
Would that we had enough money and men
to restore you to your throne.

316
00:27:50,082 --> 00:27:55,522
In time, dear Jean. I have been well
tutored about the wisdom of patience.

317
00:27:58,162 --> 00:28:03,362
Juanito, fetch me paper and ink.
I have numerous letters to write.

318
00:28:07,802 --> 00:28:11,762
Cesare lives. He is coming home.

319
00:28:14,762 --> 00:28:17,362
Cesare has sent declarations
to the kings of France and England,

320
00:28:17,442 --> 00:28:19,242
the German emperor, the dukes of Italy,

321
00:28:19,322 --> 00:28:21,922
saying that he will soon return
to his throne in the Romagna.

322
00:28:22,002 --> 00:28:23,922
As if he were merely on a holiday.

323
00:28:24,002 --> 00:28:25,682
If he is restored, you will never be pope.

324
00:28:25,707 --> 00:28:28,602
If he is restored, we will both be dead.

325
00:28:28,682 --> 00:28:32,082
Write to Ferdinand.
Tell that Spanish speck,

326
00:28:32,202 --> 00:28:35,722
we demand Il Valentino's head
delivered to us,

327
00:28:35,802 --> 00:28:38,522
like John the Baptist,
on a silver platter.

328
00:28:44,602 --> 00:28:47,442
Tear down this tomb.

329
00:28:47,522 --> 00:28:51,202
We want no trace
of Rodrigo Borgia to exist.

330
00:28:51,282 --> 00:28:54,522
Not even his dust.

331
00:29:08,322 --> 00:29:12,682
These stallions were recently
captured in the wild, where they ran free.

332
00:29:12,762 --> 00:29:17,642
And so we will break their spirit
in order to mount and ride them.

333
00:29:17,722 --> 00:29:23,922
But first, I will grant them one last run
down this corridor,

334
00:29:24,002 --> 00:29:27,122
trampling whatever lies beneath
their hooves.

335
00:29:27,202 --> 00:29:30,362
Alfonso! Brother, please!
In the name of our mother!

336
00:29:30,442 --> 00:29:33,722
Do not bring that pious woman
into this ugliness.

337
00:29:33,802 --> 00:29:36,602
If she were alive,
she would set the horses loose.

338
00:29:36,722 --> 00:29:39,602
Do you not want to plead
for your life, bastard?

339
00:29:39,682 --> 00:29:41,602
I am blind and will not see death coming!

340
00:29:41,682 --> 00:29:44,122
You will hear its thunder.

341
00:29:45,642 --> 00:29:47,322
On three.

342
00:29:47,402 --> 00:29:49,162
One...

343
00:29:52,082 --> 00:29:55,202
Lucrezia, you said
you could not stand to watch.

344
00:29:55,282 --> 00:29:57,202
And yet I must.

345
00:29:57,282 --> 00:30:00,122
- These men are your brothers.
- Giulio is not my brother.

346
00:30:00,202 --> 00:30:03,682
Your denial is the cause of this anarchy.

347
00:30:03,762 --> 00:30:06,722
A hound will be beaten
for only so long and then bites.

348
00:30:06,802 --> 00:30:09,562
Though the bastard abducted you,
you take his side.

349
00:30:09,642 --> 00:30:12,442
No! I am trying to preserve
the d'Este family,

350
00:30:12,522 --> 00:30:17,082
despite the fact that each of you
do whatever you can to annihilate it.

351
00:30:17,162 --> 00:30:20,442
You cannot change the fact
that Ferrante and Giulio are your blood.

352
00:30:20,522 --> 00:30:25,642
Will you be able to live with that same
blood unwashable from your hands?

353
00:30:25,722 --> 00:30:31,202
Now you will end their lives
and change ours forever.

354
00:30:31,282 --> 00:30:34,282
Our hopes for a better world.

355
00:30:34,362 --> 00:30:36,922
Our sense of who we are.

356
00:30:39,002 --> 00:30:40,442
Ready!

357
00:30:40,522 --> 00:30:42,322
One!

358
00:30:46,282 --> 00:30:47,842
Two!

359
00:31:03,402 --> 00:31:06,602
I never intended to go through
with the execution.

360
00:31:06,682 --> 00:31:11,282
I meant only to frighten you in the way
your devilish deeds have frightened me.

361
00:31:11,362 --> 00:31:15,002
Unearth them. Send them
to another sort of hole.

362
00:31:15,082 --> 00:31:18,642
The abyss of jail beneath
the Castello Estense.

363
00:31:18,722 --> 00:31:22,402
In praise of a generous God
and our beloved Lucrezia,

364
00:31:22,482 --> 00:31:27,442
I commute these death sentences
to a lifetime of solitary imprisonment.

365
00:31:33,122 --> 00:31:35,402
Listen! Listen!

366
00:31:35,482 --> 00:31:39,402
I have a theory, not yet fully developed,

367
00:31:39,482 --> 00:31:42,602
which states that Ptolemy was incorrect.

368
00:31:42,682 --> 00:31:44,562
What?!

369
00:31:44,642 --> 00:31:48,242
The Earth is not the center
of the universe.

370
00:31:49,682 --> 00:31:51,922
- Your Grace.
- Good evening.

371
00:31:52,002 --> 00:31:54,842
Sorry to interrupt. Sit.

372
00:31:55,802 --> 00:31:58,762
- Lucrezia, may I have a word with you?
- We're in the middle of a session.

373
00:31:58,787 --> 00:32:01,722
Yes. Yes, of course.
I am sorry, I just...

374
00:32:01,802 --> 00:32:04,642
You are always busy and we never talk.

375
00:32:08,802 --> 00:32:11,682
Go on. We're not the center
of the universe?

376
00:32:13,402 --> 00:32:18,922
The Earth spins on its own axis,

377
00:32:19,002 --> 00:32:21,242
around the Sun.

378
00:32:21,322 --> 00:32:23,202
You speak blasphemy, Copernicus.

379
00:32:23,282 --> 00:32:27,922
The only blasphemy is to the mind of man,
which assumes that life rotates around us.

380
00:32:28,042 --> 00:32:33,082
In the mind of God, however,
we are nothing but snowflakes,

381
00:32:33,162 --> 00:32:36,562
falling in winter, melting in spring.

382
00:32:41,122 --> 00:32:44,362
Rebel forces do not fight
in the traditional manner,

383
00:32:44,442 --> 00:32:46,842
with battle formations, in daylight.

384
00:32:46,922 --> 00:32:50,762
They stalk us at night,
striking without trumpet or drum,

385
00:32:50,842 --> 00:32:52,602
from behind boulders
or from the trees above.

386
00:32:52,682 --> 00:32:57,722
Ambushes, raids, sabotage.
They're guérilléros waging little wars.

387
00:32:57,802 --> 00:33:02,042
They take the element of surprise
to a higher level.

388
00:33:02,162 --> 00:33:05,402
- I am impressed.
- Impressed?

389
00:33:05,482 --> 00:33:08,802
Learn the rules, respect the rules,
dissolve the rules.

390
00:33:08,882 --> 00:33:12,002
I admire any man who shifts
the status quo ante bellum.

391
00:33:12,082 --> 00:33:15,322
Admiration will not win the war.

392
00:33:16,922 --> 00:33:20,282
The challenge is to surprise
those who surprise.

393
00:33:20,362 --> 00:33:25,282
If they attack us at night,
we must turn night into day.

394
00:34:42,522 --> 00:34:47,922
I cannot help but wonder...
What if Juan had not been murdered?

395
00:34:48,042 --> 00:34:51,082
Would I have remained a cardinal?

396
00:34:51,162 --> 00:34:53,842
What if Pedro Luis
had not been murdered?

397
00:34:53,922 --> 00:34:56,842
Would he have been in Naples
instead of de Cordova

398
00:34:56,922 --> 00:34:59,962
and guaranteed my safe passage
back to the Romagna?

399
00:35:01,322 --> 00:35:05,762
What if the malarial fever had not plagued
both father and son?

400
00:35:05,842 --> 00:35:12,042
If the reign of Pope Alexander had lasted
another year, or even six months,

401
00:35:12,122 --> 00:35:15,522
would I now be emperor of Italy?

402
00:35:18,402 --> 00:35:21,442
What if Lucrezia and I
had consummated our love?

403
00:35:21,522 --> 00:35:26,762
"What if" is a game for philosophers
and school boys. You are neither.

404
00:35:26,842 --> 00:35:31,002
Tonight, you were in a battle for
the first time since you were captured.

405
00:35:31,082 --> 00:35:36,482
I once said, your eyes held no fear.
Now they do.

406
00:35:36,562 --> 00:35:39,242
- You are wrong.
- You are afraid of failure.

407
00:35:39,322 --> 00:35:40,442
- No.
- Of death.

408
00:35:40,522 --> 00:35:43,282
- No.
- You are afraid of the unknown.

409
00:35:43,362 --> 00:35:48,882
Where once courage flourished,
terror now astounds your senses.

410
00:35:55,002 --> 00:35:59,842
I can still see you as a baby,
sucking on your mother's tit,

411
00:35:59,922 --> 00:36:02,682
with fierce determination.

412
00:36:04,482 --> 00:36:07,282
You wanted it all, even then.

413
00:36:07,362 --> 00:36:11,962
And I remember you,
staring down at me with glacial eyes.

414
00:36:12,042 --> 00:36:16,042
Because even then you confused me.

415
00:36:19,922 --> 00:36:22,562
You have many gifts:

416
00:36:22,642 --> 00:36:26,922
intelligence, charm, physical prowess.

417
00:36:28,442 --> 00:36:31,642
But you have one weakness
which overwhelms your virtues.

418
00:36:34,802 --> 00:36:38,402
When you were taken prisoner,
you surrendered your body,

419
00:36:38,482 --> 00:36:41,042
but not your pride.

420
00:36:42,002 --> 00:36:45,442
You're Narcissus,
in love with your own reflection.

421
00:36:45,522 --> 00:36:48,722
Do I have greater pride
than other men? No.

422
00:36:48,802 --> 00:36:52,562
I have greater achievement
to justify my pride.

423
00:36:52,642 --> 00:36:56,362
- Pride has made me fearless.
- Until now.

424
00:36:57,722 --> 00:37:00,282
Your love of self is
your greatest sin against God.

425
00:37:00,362 --> 00:37:02,122
I do not believe in God.

426
00:37:02,202 --> 00:37:05,202
Then it is your greatest sin against
those you love, those who love you...

427
00:37:06,882 --> 00:37:09,642
...the world, life.

428
00:37:09,722 --> 00:37:16,522
Your recent defeats may simply be
the universe demanding her fair share.

429
00:37:16,602 --> 00:37:21,002
Pride is my shield.
I cannot lower it and survive.

430
00:37:21,082 --> 00:37:22,842
You can.

431
00:37:24,682 --> 00:37:29,642
But first you must step off the finite
and reach for the infinite.

432
00:37:32,042 --> 00:37:33,962
How?

433
00:37:34,042 --> 00:37:38,762
Start by accepting the fact that you
will never again rule the Romagna.

434
00:37:39,802 --> 00:37:42,922
Never again abide in Rome.

435
00:37:44,362 --> 00:37:48,562
Never again see Lucrezia's face.

436
00:37:51,162 --> 00:37:52,482
Never.

437
00:37:52,562 --> 00:37:54,842
Go back to Hell!

438
00:38:01,602 --> 00:38:03,842
Highness?

439
00:38:03,922 --> 00:38:06,282
Do you need me?

440
00:38:24,722 --> 00:38:27,442
Juanito, what do you want in life?

441
00:38:29,802 --> 00:38:34,082
- I want to serve you, Highness.
- No, for yourself.

442
00:38:34,162 --> 00:38:37,442
Who do you want to be?

443
00:38:37,522 --> 00:38:42,042
I would like someday to be a soldier,
so that I can become a gentleman.

444
00:38:44,562 --> 00:38:47,762
You are more noble than
any noble I have ever known.

445
00:38:49,162 --> 00:38:53,842
And as of today, you are a soldier.

446
00:38:55,202 --> 00:38:57,402
I will give you this armor.

447
00:39:04,562 --> 00:39:07,802
And I will serve as your squire. Sit.

448
00:39:19,002 --> 00:39:21,762
- Highness...
- Remain seated.

449
00:39:23,122 --> 00:39:27,722
- You are being too humble.
- A first.

450
00:39:27,802 --> 00:39:29,882
We have fresh reports.

451
00:39:29,962 --> 00:39:33,002
The rebels occupy the castillo
in the town of Viana.

452
00:39:33,082 --> 00:39:37,762
- Viana? I have never heard of Viana.
- No one has.

453
00:39:37,842 --> 00:39:40,042
Show me on the map.

454
00:39:47,002 --> 00:39:49,442
To which king are
the citizens of Viana loyal?

455
00:39:49,522 --> 00:39:52,522
Ferdinand.
They blame me for the current famine.

456
00:39:52,602 --> 00:39:56,162
Ah, so their support for Spain
is derived not from patriotism,

457
00:39:56,242 --> 00:39:57,922
but from aching stomachs.

458
00:39:58,002 --> 00:40:01,082
Before the attack, we will feed them.
Empty every larder.

459
00:40:01,162 --> 00:40:05,002
Little Viana must have
the most sumptuous feast in its history.

460
00:40:05,082 --> 00:40:07,962
And in doing so,
you will strengthen their bodies.

461
00:40:08,042 --> 00:40:09,762
Thereby, sapping their resolve.

462
00:40:09,842 --> 00:40:13,922
We must offer them a cornucopia of reasons
to surrender peacefully.

463
00:40:34,562 --> 00:40:36,202
Is something the matter?

464
00:40:37,082 --> 00:40:40,202
If I get up there,
I will have to give the signal to advance.

465
00:40:40,282 --> 00:40:42,922
Yes, of course. You lead us.

466
00:40:43,002 --> 00:40:44,922
Do I? Can I?

467
00:40:48,362 --> 00:40:50,002
Listen to yourself.

468
00:40:50,082 --> 00:40:52,602
"If I get up there, I will have
to give the signal to advance.

469
00:40:52,682 --> 00:40:56,442
Do I? Can I?"
Always I, I, I.

470
00:41:01,522 --> 00:41:03,322
We...

471
00:41:05,002 --> 00:41:07,642
The papal "we."

472
00:41:10,642 --> 00:41:13,842
Aut Caesar aut nihil.

473
00:41:15,682 --> 00:41:20,042
Be nothing, Cesare. Be no one.

474
00:41:20,122 --> 00:41:22,842
Disappear into the infinite.

475
00:41:36,082 --> 00:41:37,842
Onward!

476
00:41:54,922 --> 00:41:57,282
Highness!

477
00:41:58,602 --> 00:42:01,522
Highness, I have news.

478
00:42:09,322 --> 00:42:14,002
The people of Viana, in gratitude
for the bounty of food you have provided,

479
00:42:14,082 --> 00:42:18,642
submit to the sovereignty
of King Jean and Queen Catalina.

480
00:42:18,722 --> 00:42:24,442
Highness, the rebels do not submit
and remain barricaded in the castillo.

481
00:42:24,522 --> 00:42:27,202
Open the gate.

482
00:42:29,082 --> 00:42:32,402
Surround the fortress!

483
00:42:58,402 --> 00:43:02,082
Because of the famine, we believe
the rebels inside are low on provisions.

484
00:43:12,562 --> 00:43:16,522
- Cesare Borgia.
- Louis de Beaumont, contar of Lerin.

485
00:43:16,602 --> 00:43:19,522
I am Louis de Beaumont,
son of the contar.

486
00:43:19,602 --> 00:43:21,802
Your father has sent you to surrender.

487
00:43:21,882 --> 00:43:26,842
No. I come to say that we are prepared
to die, to the last man.

488
00:43:26,922 --> 00:43:30,442
- Our souls in our swords.
- Then you will die.

489
00:43:30,522 --> 00:43:35,202
Either bleeding on the walls or more
slowly, from the gnawing of hunger.

490
00:43:35,282 --> 00:43:38,802
I have read
Machiavelli's essays about you.

491
00:43:38,882 --> 00:43:41,402
Now, I see that you are
even greater than your legend.

492
00:43:41,482 --> 00:43:45,362
Legends be damned.
We are here to serve a just cause.

493
00:43:45,442 --> 00:43:49,082
A warning: Viana is a strange place,

494
00:43:49,162 --> 00:43:52,922
where even extraordinary men
are humbled.

495
00:44:04,522 --> 00:44:06,282
This day is ours.

496
00:44:09,722 --> 00:44:13,922
Worrying about Cesare will not save him.

497
00:44:14,002 --> 00:44:16,962
But I have heard nothing for weeks.

498
00:44:20,762 --> 00:44:24,962
- My sweet sons.
- Bembo, if you please.

499
00:44:25,042 --> 00:44:26,362
Yes.

500
00:44:28,002 --> 00:44:30,322
Let no one dispute me on this.

501
00:44:30,402 --> 00:44:34,602
The d'Este family is far worse
than the Borgia.

502
00:44:34,682 --> 00:44:39,082
Two brothers in chains, another
whose brain is scrambled.

503
00:44:39,162 --> 00:44:46,122
The fourth a reptile.
My sister... distant, harsh.

504
00:44:46,202 --> 00:44:51,842
And I am the worst.
A family extirpated by its own conniving.

505
00:44:53,362 --> 00:44:57,082
Though I am undeserving,
I still have a family.

506
00:44:57,162 --> 00:44:59,362
Thanks to you, Lucrezia.

507
00:45:01,842 --> 00:45:04,562
Please try to love me again.

508
00:45:15,762 --> 00:45:19,602
We were in love, once upon a time.

509
00:45:21,322 --> 00:45:24,162
Like in a fairy tale.

510
00:45:25,322 --> 00:45:29,322
In every fairy tale,
couples face adversity.

511
00:45:29,402 --> 00:45:34,722
But at the end, they live.
Happily. Ever after.

512
00:45:36,602 --> 00:45:42,642
To make that wish come true,
I have brought our whole family together.

513
00:45:46,122 --> 00:45:50,082
- Giovanni.
- Mama.

514
00:46:03,362 --> 00:46:05,282
Enter.

515
00:46:05,362 --> 00:46:08,082
De Beaumont's men
are abandoning the castillo.

516
00:46:08,162 --> 00:46:09,722
They have crept out in the darkness.

517
00:46:09,802 --> 00:46:12,602
How could the rebels escape if
the castillo is circled by our soldiers?

518
00:46:12,627 --> 00:46:15,762
- The storm, our men took shelter.
- Abandoning their posts.

519
00:46:15,842 --> 00:46:19,842
This is Navarre, not French cavalrymen
nor Gascon mercenaries.

520
00:46:19,922 --> 00:46:21,922
- What day is this?
- March 12th.

521
00:46:22,042 --> 00:46:24,562
Three days before the Ides.

522
00:46:24,642 --> 00:46:27,842
Round up the troops. Ir ahora.

523
00:46:34,842 --> 00:46:39,762
We go after the rebels!
There is no greater gift than life!

524
00:46:39,842 --> 00:46:43,522
There is no greater sacrifice than death!

525
00:46:43,642 --> 00:46:48,922
If tonight I die, I die grateful
for each moment in which I have lived!

526
00:46:49,002 --> 00:46:54,362
Let us ride. Let us seize the moment
and serve the truth,

527
00:46:54,442 --> 00:46:58,402
caring not if this moment is our last!

528
00:47:01,322 --> 00:47:05,042
Your Graces,
a stranger asks for an audience.

529
00:47:05,122 --> 00:47:07,082
He claims to know you
from your days in Rome.

530
00:47:07,162 --> 00:47:10,602
- Agapito Geraldini.
- Agapito!

531
00:47:13,802 --> 00:47:16,162
I would prefer an embrace, old friend.

532
00:47:18,522 --> 00:47:21,082
- You bring tidings of Cesare?
- Yes.

533
00:47:21,162 --> 00:47:25,202
We already aware that he is in Navarre,
commanding King Jean's legions.

534
00:47:25,282 --> 00:47:28,562
I have a more recent report.

535
00:47:30,122 --> 00:47:32,922
He had some rebels surrounded,

536
00:47:33,002 --> 00:47:35,882
but they managed to escape
during fierce a rainstorm.

537
00:47:38,682 --> 00:47:42,562
Cesare rode after them, his soul on fire.

538
00:47:45,842 --> 00:47:51,722
An evil omen.
I am not going into that storm.

539
00:47:51,802 --> 00:47:53,722
We must turn back.

540
00:47:53,802 --> 00:47:56,042
He was in such a passion

541
00:47:56,122 --> 00:47:58,482
that he was unaware
the Navarre troops did not follow him.

542
00:48:01,922 --> 00:48:04,082
The rain continued,

543
00:48:04,162 --> 00:48:07,162
clouding his eyes
and weighing his body down.

544
00:48:07,242 --> 00:48:10,282
Finally, he came upon the rebels.

545
00:48:10,362 --> 00:48:13,802
They had splintered into small bands
to avoid detection.

546
00:48:15,442 --> 00:48:18,522
Cesare cut them into tiny pieces
of flesh and bone.

547
00:48:19,522 --> 00:48:22,002
- Killing 10.
- Killing 20.

548
00:48:22,082 --> 00:48:23,722
Killing 50.

549
00:48:24,482 --> 00:48:27,682
Until one struck him
with a lance.

550
00:48:29,682 --> 00:48:33,802
The lance went in
just above the chest armor,

551
00:48:33,922 --> 00:48:35,842
piercing Cesare's armpit.

552
00:48:35,922 --> 00:48:38,362
He fell, on the same broken arm.

553
00:48:39,202 --> 00:48:42,042
Yet still Cesare rose and fought.

554
00:48:44,762 --> 00:48:46,922
Lucrezia!

555
00:48:48,922 --> 00:48:50,202
Lucrezia!

556
00:48:54,482 --> 00:48:57,042
Lucrezia!

557
00:49:05,842 --> 00:49:07,362
Lucrezia!

558
00:49:21,602 --> 00:49:25,842
The two rebels, not knowing
who Cesare was, stripped him of his armor.

559
00:49:25,922 --> 00:49:28,722
They stripped him
of every piece of clothing.

560
00:49:37,082 --> 00:49:40,202
One of Cesare's soldiers rode up...

561
00:49:40,282 --> 00:49:44,602
The boy saw his master lying in the mud,
face disfigured.

562
00:49:48,842 --> 00:49:51,602
This is Cesare Borgia!

563
00:50:02,402 --> 00:50:06,842
Hours afterwards, some peasants found
Cesare, bleeding but alive,

564
00:50:06,922 --> 00:50:08,762
and took him to their hut.

565
00:50:09,522 --> 00:50:16,522
His troops found Cesare
on the soaked soil a short time later.

566
00:50:17,322 --> 00:50:22,282
He laid there in the rain,
throughout the night, unclaimed.

567
00:50:23,202 --> 00:50:25,042
Until?

568
00:50:34,282 --> 00:50:38,802
He died. Cesare Borgia is dead.

569
00:50:47,922 --> 00:50:50,522
My son is dead?

570
00:50:57,002 --> 00:50:59,842
Our Cesare is dead.

571
00:51:03,362 --> 00:51:08,202
My love, do not be strong.
Show your grief, I will hold you.

572
00:51:08,282 --> 00:51:15,202
No. He would not want me to cry
as a little girl cries...

573
00:51:16,722 --> 00:51:20,082
...but to mourn as a woman does.

574
00:51:22,042 --> 00:51:26,082
He has prepared me for this day
every day of our lives.

575
00:51:28,042 --> 00:51:30,922
Your Grace, forgive me.

576
00:51:31,002 --> 00:51:34,842
Long ago, Cesare asked me,
when the day of his death came

577
00:51:34,922 --> 00:51:39,002
to deliver words to your wife
that are hers alone.

578
00:51:39,082 --> 00:51:41,842
I understand.

579
00:51:41,922 --> 00:51:44,762
I will make arrangements
for us to go to Navarre.

580
00:51:44,842 --> 00:51:47,122
No, husband.

581
00:51:49,442 --> 00:51:51,842
Cesare is not there.

582
00:52:09,402 --> 00:52:16,242
Fearful that a written final will might
fall into the hands of his enemies,

583
00:52:16,322 --> 00:52:21,042
Cesare made me his living testament.

584
00:52:21,162 --> 00:52:24,082
You were his greatest friend, Agapito.

585
00:52:25,162 --> 00:52:28,722
To my wondrous sister Lucrezia,

586
00:52:28,802 --> 00:52:32,842
who has meant more to me
than any being,

587
00:52:32,922 --> 00:52:39,522
who has taught me the joy of love
and family, forgiveness and sacrifice.

588
00:52:39,602 --> 00:52:43,322
I present to you four caskets.

589
00:52:56,442 --> 00:53:01,282
The first is but a sampling of the wealth
which I have hidden

590
00:53:01,362 --> 00:53:04,682
and to which only you will have access.

591
00:53:04,762 --> 00:53:08,922
This precious metal
will secure your safety.

592
00:53:09,002 --> 00:53:13,202
So that your marriage to Alfonso
will be based on true emotions,

593
00:53:13,282 --> 00:53:15,682
an not necessity or fear.

594
00:53:22,842 --> 00:53:28,082
My cardinal's hat.
Because, despite my protestations,

595
00:53:28,162 --> 00:53:34,402
God always has and always will be
integral to the Borgia family.

596
00:53:41,922 --> 00:53:45,162
My ceremonial helmet.

597
00:53:45,242 --> 00:53:47,842
I did not unify Italy,

598
00:53:47,922 --> 00:53:53,242
but I have shown the people of Italy
how a man of vision and vigor leads.

599
00:54:04,522 --> 00:54:11,202
A symbol of our passion:
unique, beautiful, grotesque.

600
00:54:17,842 --> 00:54:20,082
And finally...

601
00:54:25,842 --> 00:54:28,682
Know this, Lucrezia.

602
00:54:28,762 --> 00:54:31,842
My death frees you
of all bonds to the past.

603
00:54:33,042 --> 00:54:36,482
Dearest soul, live.

604
00:54:37,402 --> 00:54:41,682
Live today, live for the days to come.

605
00:54:41,762 --> 00:54:45,882
Forgive Rodrigo, Juan,
your ridiculous Cesare.

606
00:54:47,922 --> 00:54:52,522
Forgive us one last time,
so that we, too, may be free.

607
00:54:54,562 --> 00:54:58,522
I kiss your hand. I kiss your lips.

608
00:55:00,402 --> 00:55:05,162
Wherever forever is, I will love you.

609
00:55:19,922 --> 00:55:23,642
Here,
in this scant piece of ground,

610
00:55:23,722 --> 00:55:27,482
lies he whom all of the world feared,

611
00:55:27,562 --> 00:55:31,082
because war and peace were in his hands.

612
00:55:36,882 --> 00:55:41,082
My sister, Charlotte Borgia d'Albret,

613
00:55:41,162 --> 00:55:44,482
and Cesare's daughter, Luisa.

614
00:56:37,402 --> 00:56:38,842
In the beginning...

615
00:56:45,185 --> 00:56:48,720
