On the death of Pope Innocent VIII in 1492, the 60-year-old Borgia wants the papal tiara at all costs. He succeeds in buying the largest number of votes; Sforza, the Milanese candidate, being bribed with four mule-loads of silver. He takes the name Alexander VI and continues his love affair with Giulia Farnese, bringing his four adult bastard children under his protection and provision. Borgia must control rebels within the college of cardinals, as well as being faced with an invasion by Charles of France. Starring: Adolfo Celi, Oliver Cotton.

01:05John Batista Chivo
01:22John Battista Cibo
01:25The Lord John Battista Cibo
01:35Pater Patrum
01:37Innocent VIII
01:39The Holy Father is dead
01:52You have asked Burka to come
02:06Yes, Your Eminence
02:07Who else?
02:09My Lord, I thought it prudent to warn the Lady Adriana
02:11Of course
02:11Has word been sent to Cardinal Della Rovere?
02:15Yes, Monsignor
02:15To Ostia last night
02:17The physician was paid to inform him
02:19When it was known that nothing more could be done for the Holy Father
02:22Waste of money, Perrot
02:24Yes, Monsignor
02:25The bells will tell all Italy before noon
02:52Will you now be Pope?
03:01Will you now be Pope?
03:05Does it show?
03:22I don't want it
03:24And if it were mine
03:26Not your one-eyed husband?
03:29No
03:29Get dressed, Julia, my child
03:34Perrotto has sent for the Lady Adriana
03:37Am I still desirable?
03:49Your Eminence
03:50Your Eminence may be confident of success this time
04:08So I thought before
04:10But he who goes into the conclave, a Pope
04:13The Patsa Cardinal still
04:15How many will be absent?
04:17Four, your Eminence
04:18So
04:18I must be assured of fourteen votes
04:21May God direct me in wisdom, Perrotto
04:24He has already directed the Cardinal Rovere
04:27Has the Almighty told you that himself?
04:29The Cardinal's Chamberlain whispered it under the sheets to a woman
04:32How directed?
04:33To accept two hundred thousand ducats from the French
04:36Upon the understanding
04:37Too little
04:38For a Genoese, Giuliano della Rovere is a poor actor
04:42No, no, no
04:43Upon the understanding that when he's elected
04:45It'll be used to cleanse the church of simony and corruption
04:48Well, he can't use them to buy votes
04:51Will your Eminence treat with him?
04:54I shall embrace him
04:55As a loving wrestler
04:57With one foot about his ankle
04:59Those, your Eminence, wish me to recall the Lord Cesare from Siena
05:03No
05:05My son will stay where he is
05:08Patience is good schooling for young churchmen
05:12And the virtue all Borgias must painfully learn
05:16Who else knows of Rovere's gift from France?
05:23Monseñor
05:23A woman creeps into many beds
05:26My dear Perotto
05:27Do I ask you to favour the discriminating horse?
05:31However, let her story travel busily
05:35Into one here, there
05:37Another here
05:39Then deny it
05:40You disagree?
05:44My wits are slow, Eminence
05:46There are some Cardinals
05:48Who will sell their votes to Rovere
05:50So deny it
05:51My name with horror
05:53Let it thrive upon denial
05:55Until I'm forced
05:58At the favour of a moment
06:00To acknowledge it's wrong
06:03Is Cardinal Sforzing, bro?
06:06No
06:07In hostia, Monseñor
06:08With Cardinal de la Rovere
06:11Is the richest prince of the church
06:13To make himself Pope
06:14Because a Cardinal's vote
06:16Can be bought for two mule loads of silver?
06:18No one has yet offered me a ducat, Juliana
06:21Look at my table, Ascarnia
06:29Cups of clay, not gold
06:31The books in my library are bound in poor hide
06:34Not studied with jewels
06:36Your revenues are great
06:39To be expended wisely on God's work
06:43In which the making of a Pope transcends all other tasks
06:46Because without the head the body is nothing
06:48Well therefore in that work
06:49Do not the expenditure be liberal as well as wise?
06:52When there is confidence
06:54In the good faith of those upon whom it is bestowed
06:57Good faith is nurtured by early encouragement
07:00Ascarnia, we need an Italian in the holy chair
07:02I agree, we need an Italian to the arch
07:03A Spaniard will not put a stop to the war in contention
07:07Between the Oscenis and the Colanas
07:08Or between your own house and the Baleonis
07:10He'll not resolve the claims of France and Spain
07:14To the throne of Naples
07:15But upon the matter of France
07:17I hear the king of France
07:18You say you wait for God's prompting in this
07:20It's made manifest in Rodrigo Borgia
07:22Who robs the church
07:24And thinks of Julia Farnese's body
07:28Even as he prays
07:29It's manifest in the Catalan arrogance
07:32Of his firstborn bastard
07:34Who are they?
07:54I think the one in front is Giovanni Orsini
07:56The other one may be his brother, Paolo
07:58I beg you, my lord
08:02Do not be rash
08:03I hear your cousin will be offered the office of vice-chancellor
08:09Should you be elected?
08:12Very able man
08:13Indeed he is
08:16But in poor health
08:18Is he not?
08:21He would bring you but one vote
08:24The office would be a positive inducement
08:27To one with greater following
08:28Ask anything but that
08:30Don't distress yourself, Giuliana
08:34Without such inducement to offer myself
08:38I'd hesitate to ask you to surrender your nomination
08:41And transfer your votes to mine
08:44To yours
08:47You will accept nomination?
08:52I believe
08:54I believe that God Almighty
08:56Has just called me to that duty
08:59It's the young bullcalf
09:04Good day, my lord, Cesare
09:05The forger bullcalf with a discreet tundra between his tiny horns
09:09Your brother's manners have not improved, Paolo
09:11My humble apologies, your grace
09:14Will the learned bishop of Pamplona forgive me and grant me his blessing?
09:19May Lucifer go with you, my son
09:20In the name of the goat, the serpent, and the toad
09:23Do not provoke us, my lord
09:25I've no quarrel with you, Paolo Orsini
09:27You were a friend in our childhood
09:29That will be still
09:29While his father beds our cousin's wife
09:31No doubt your cousin will profit from the experience
09:34You heard the bells, my lord?
09:41What will you wager against my horse and the palio?
09:44A hundred ducats
09:44Five hundred
09:45And a thousand against the Borgia Pope?
09:49No, my lord
10:04We have no lure to recall it
10:25The hawk is lost
10:26What's a hawk to me now?
10:34At the last conclave
10:43Each gardener was given a table
10:46A chair
10:47A stool
10:48Two urinals
10:51A seat for the dischargment of the stomach
10:55Two small napkins for the table
10:58Four hand towels
11:00Two little
11:02Enough
11:02Enough
11:04This is not what I asked
11:08Does your eminence wish to hear of the sale reserve for each party?
11:12No
11:13There will be sugared pine seeds as before
11:16And marzipan
11:17You are a worthy master of ceremony
11:21Whoever next takes Peter's shoes
11:25Who do well to keep you in that office
11:28Reminence is more than generous
11:30You keep a journal, do you not?
11:33My son
11:35Your eminence
11:37You keep a day book
11:43Yes, monsieur
11:44Yes, monsieur
11:44Of gossip, perhaps
11:47No, monsieur
11:49You hear none
11:54For example
11:56That the Jew physician
11:58That the Jew physician gave his late holiness
12:00Potions of blood drawn from the veins of young boys
12:04Yes, monsieur
12:04And if Cardinal's forza becomes pope
12:08His brother Rodovico will boldly strangle their nephew
12:12And make himself the Duke of Milan
12:15When God calls
12:19If God calls me to the triple crown
12:22My burdens will be eased by so well-informed a friend
12:29If the eminence may be sure
12:31I'd serve him with love and loyalty
12:33Then you are determined upon it
12:41I must respond to cogent persuasion
12:45Oh, yes
12:46Your brother
12:47Lord of Ico
12:48The regent of Milan is not my master
12:52Shall I refer to the prompting of my conscience?
12:56Yes, you may rely upon seven votes, perhaps eight
13:01So many
13:03You have the support of Milan and Venice
13:07You were France
13:09I told you there's no truth in that
13:10In the early voting I shall cast for Costa
13:14And Veno
13:16And by the third day
13:20We should face each other, Giuliano
13:23Borgia may expect as many as four votes
13:31And you?
13:34I
13:35He will prevent either of us
13:36From securing the majority of two-thirds
13:38What shall we do then, I wonder?
13:41The castle of Nephi and revenues of Agria
13:55And the vice-chancellorship
13:5820,000 ducats
14:02And the vice-chancellorship
14:04If we cannot agree, Borgia will profit
14:07And Spain's word will run through Italy
14:10From Naples to the Alps
14:12And if we do agree
14:14So may the word of France
14:16He is a Catalan
14:18But he'll put even Spain second to his family
14:21A Borgia dynasty of popes
14:24In return for your votes, Giuliano
14:27I'd gladly offer you the vice-chancellorship
14:29I'd gladly offer you the vice-chancellorship
14:31Good morning, cousin
14:54Where is Julia?
14:59Is her husband pining for her?
15:02She should rejoin my son
15:03Until the conclave is over
15:05She says she's not girl
15:08She will do as she's told
15:09And quickly
15:10There is a mob on Via Papale
15:12And the cardinal servants
15:13Are looting the pop's apartments
15:15For their masters
15:16A proper custom
15:17His holiness may now face
15:19St. Peter
15:20In virtuous poverty
15:21Two of your own are among them
15:23Splendid
15:24Giulia
15:26Madonna
15:27How's Lucrezia?
15:29She's well
15:31A Greek
15:32It improves
15:33A Latin
15:34Better than her manners
15:36Then I was wrong
15:37To entrust my daughter to you, Adriana
15:40Could her mother do better?
15:42Madonna has a good heart
15:43And loves Lucrezia
15:44As a cow, it's calf
15:46But better for a child of the Borgia boo
15:48Wait now
15:51In there
15:52No, I shall stay here
15:54Now go, child
16:03Better go
16:05You may stay until I go to the conclave
16:18What do I tell my son?
16:21That his wife is with me
16:23And his Orsini kinsman
16:25Do you think they give a fig
16:27Because you had me to cackle your poor son?
16:31You should know that complacence hopes for future profit
16:35You will not be Pope now
16:38Sforza is at Ostia
16:40With robbery
16:41But one great cat smells out another
16:44So, cast for the one or the other
16:46And wait
16:47Wait?
16:49Nineteen, I came to Rome
16:52And I waited
16:53Twenty-five, I was cardinal
16:56Twenty-six, vice-chancellor
16:58And I waited
17:00When our uncle, the Pope, died
17:03The mob cried, Catalan
17:05And they killed my brother
17:07And I waited
17:09Eight years ago, I was cheated over the tiara
17:12And I waited
17:14Now I'm sixty
17:15And I'll wait no longer
17:17But God has rewarded my patience
17:21I'm Rodrigo Borgia
17:24With enough gold
17:26To fill the Sistine Chapel
17:28Upon the second vote of the second day
17:34The votes cast this morning
17:36For Cardinal Zeno and Costa
17:38Having been transferred to the second preference on the papers
17:42The figures now are
17:43For the Cardinal Presbyter of San Pietro Vincoli
17:47Nine votes
17:49For the Cardinal Deacon of San Pietro San Modesto
17:52Seven votes
17:53The Cardinal Bishop of Porto and San Rufino
17:56Vice-Chancellor of the Holy Roman Church
17:59Five votes
18:00There being no majority
18:02Of two-thirds
18:03The papers will be burned
18:05The voting will be resumed tomorrow
18:06The voting will be resumed tomorrow
18:06The voting will be resumed tomorrow
18:07The voting will be resumed tomorrow
18:08The voting will be resumed tomorrow
18:09The voting will be resumed tomorrow
18:10The voting will be resumed tomorrow
18:11The voting will be resumed tomorrow
18:12The voting will be resumed tomorrow
18:13The voting will be resumed tomorrow
18:14The voting will be resumed tomorrow
18:15The voting will be resumed tomorrow
18:16The voting will be resumed tomorrow
18:47To a cook.
18:49My lord, it's the household of the Cardinal Dicken of Santa Maria Nova.
18:53What has Rougarie offered the Cardinal Dicken?
18:56Does the cook now?
18:57The cast of Soria and Monticelli.
18:59And what does that Cardinal truly want?
19:02The revenues of the cathedral of Cartagena.
19:06Pay the cook a hundred ducats.
19:09No more?
19:10Of course.
19:12My lord, Cardinal Colonna feels that God calls him
19:16to the Abyssey of Zubiaco.
19:19Go to him and say,
19:22say, I need his spiritual counsel.
19:26Say, oh, come in, Johann, my son.
19:31Your evidence, you sent for me?
19:33Yes, old friend.
19:35My conscience is troubled.
19:38And Perotto tells me you...
19:41It concerns Cardinal Sansevrino.
19:48How cool it looks, Perotto.
19:51If you've crippled the beast,
20:08I'll hang you by your neck bone from a harness hook.
20:10And I'll saddle your wife in front of your eyes.
20:13It's nothing, my lord bishop, nothing.
20:15You've been to confession today.
20:19No, my lord bishop.
20:20Ten pater nostes and five arvo marias.
20:21Now, get out!
20:30Luigi.
20:33Tomorrow.
20:35Don't trouble with the rabble of the field.
20:37If one of them gets too close,
20:38you lay your whip across his face.
20:40But discreetly.
20:41As though you meant it for your own mount.
20:42Yes, my lord.
20:44Sleep with the beast.
20:45I want no rogue creeping in here
20:47to unstitch a girth or mix hemlock with a purge.
20:49Oh, never fear, my lord.
20:51But you want us that in hand for some of the others.
20:56The Mantuan.
20:59If the race is nearly over
21:00and he's pressing you hard...
21:01I'll not get close, my lord.
21:03You're a fool!
21:04As you say, my lord.
21:07Fall against him.
21:08Again as if by accident.
21:09Bring him and his horse down.
21:11If you can.
21:12That I can, my lord.
21:14With you a stride or not,
21:15my horse must win.
21:24My father sends for me.
21:27No, my lord.
21:28No message?
21:32You're to remain here, my lord.
21:34Or ride no closer than Spoleto.
21:35Is my brother Juan in Rome?
21:42Yes, my lord.
21:43The position was clearly defined
21:53by his holiness, Eugenius IV.
21:57In 1438, I believe,
22:00no cardinal nominated in private,
22:03even one so worthy as you, San Severino,
22:06none may vote in conclave until his elevation is promulgated.
22:12Indeed, Monsignor, but his holiness...
22:14I've no doubt John Battista Chibbo intended to make it public,
22:18but that's...
22:19Alas.
22:21Yet, if special intercession is made...
22:24Someone has interceded for you.
22:26His eminence, cardinal Sforza.
22:29Ah.
22:29I was assured there is so much
22:35to perplexed and honest conscience these days.
22:39For example,
22:40the rumor that cardinal Roverez
22:43accepted 200,000 dukets from France
22:45to secure his election.
22:48Why, it was you who told me, Federico.
22:51I?
22:52No, your eminence.
22:54Speak of it with others.
22:55And you see how cynical a misuse of...
23:01I'll say nothing ill of Giuliano Roverez.
23:07Monsignor,
23:07if I may not vote,
23:09yet have already done so...
23:11All will be well,
23:14if you trust me.
23:16But...
23:18how did you cast your vote, Federico?
23:25You have much to learn, my lord bishop.
23:53You've been too long in Italy.
23:56Never hesitate when a knife is drawn.
24:00Why do you...
24:01Oh, darn struggle, boy.
24:03My instincts are strong.
24:06I saw you writing with Giovanni Orsini.
24:08Ah.
24:09A tight-purse master.
24:12Are you more generous than he?
24:14I'd be wise to outbid him, I think.
24:17You see my trade?
24:19There is none better at it.
24:20Would you take me into your household, my lord?
24:28Why should I?
24:30I am a Spaniard, like you.
24:33And I am only modestly ambitious.
24:36And they do say that your father will one day be pope.
24:41Senor, how can I refuse?
24:43I agree, now let me go.
24:44Oh, forgive me, my lord.
24:48Your oath on it first.
24:49In the name of Mary, mother of Christ.
25:03Your name?
25:04Miguel de Correa.
25:06Call Michelotto.
25:06Take notice of your own precept,
25:10Senor Michelotto.
25:13In my service,
25:15you'll never hesitate
25:16when the knife is drawn.
25:21I call upon our saviour
25:23to witness that the vote I am about to give
25:25has been dictated by my conscience alone.
25:35I call upon our saviour to witness
25:40that the vote I am about to give
25:42has been dictated by my conscience alone.
25:47The figures now are
25:49for the cardinal presbyter of San Pietro,
25:52eight votes,
25:53for the cardinal bishop of Porto and San Rufino,
25:56seven votes,
25:57for the cardinal deacon of San Vito,
25:59six votes.
26:00There being no majority of two-thirds,
26:02papers will be burned.
26:04Voting continue tomorrow.
26:05you have while...
26:07queriam,
26:07check me out.
26:16You have persuaded me...
26:18revenues of...
26:18revenues of...
26:19castorina.
26:19The castle of Nepey, and my new palace on the Banki Vecchi, and the office of vice-chancellor.
26:35The revenues of Agria, and the office of vice-chancellor, three new loads of silver.
26:49Cardinal Riario, whose vote I have, has asked for my palace of Trastevere.
26:57Since it's yours, it's in your gift.
27:00It shall be given, if I may hope, for the palace of San Lorenzo.
27:05Which accompanies the office of vice-chancellor.
27:08So it does.
27:09Very well. The vice-chancellorship. Is that all, Ascanio?
27:15I feel the pinch of poverty.
27:19Um...
27:21My brother, Ludovico, hopes that a new pope will acknowledge his title to the dukedom of Milan.
27:27Your nephew, the duke, is gravely ill?
27:31We fear he may soon be, yes.
27:35I see no obstacle.
27:37Unless your brother has objection for an alliance between Milan and the Holy Office.
27:44A lot of it were consummated in a marriage bed.
27:47Cesare?
27:49The Lady Lucrezia and our nephew Giovanni.
27:54You have so many nephews.
27:57And she's already betrothed.
27:59Dissolve it.
28:01You've done so before.
28:05Rovery has a niece.
28:08Hmm.
28:09I couldn't think of that vinegar stick in bed with any man.
28:14Even your nephew Giovanni.
28:17Very well.
28:19That is all, Ascanio. Is it not?
28:23Four mule loads.
28:27And gold, Rodrigo.
28:30Not silver.
28:36For the Cardinal Bishop of Porto and Saurufina, thirteen votes.
28:41For the Cardinal Presbyter of San Pietro, eight votes.
28:45There being no majority of two-thirds, the papers will be burned and the voting will be resumed tomorrow.
28:52Well, I'm not sure.
28:53No.
28:54No.
28:55No.
28:56You are wrong.
28:57Come.
28:58Sit down.
28:59What's that?
29:00No, Pope.
29:01Not yet.
29:02Old friend.
29:03Not yet, old friend.
29:04Not yet, old friend.
29:06Oh, dear holiness.
29:09No, Giacomo, no.
29:11You are wrong.
29:13Come, sit down.
29:17What's that?
29:18No Pope, eh?
29:20Not yet, old friend.
29:23Did I vote for you?
29:26No, Giacomo.
29:27For Giuliano Rovere.
29:29Oh, you see, I forget.
29:32I'm old.
29:33Too old.
29:34No.
29:35A venerable age.
29:38Ninety-six.
29:39Ninety-six.
29:42They ask too much.
29:44The papers, the vote.
29:46My hand is
29:48the rusty.
29:50Of course.
29:51Oh, you're all thoughtless.
29:54I have it.
29:56Perotto can be your scrivener.
29:58Let him write your vote for you.
30:00Oh, my God, in his mercy, release me soon.
30:07Too many years.
30:10Too many debts.
30:11What?
30:12Debts?
30:13Debts.
30:14Perotto.
30:15A note.
30:16Five thousand duckets.
30:18Oh, no.
30:18No.
30:20Alone, Giacomo.
30:21I would not insult you.
30:27For the Cardinal Bishop of Porto and Santa Rufina,
30:3114 votes.
30:33For the Cardinal Presbyter of San Pietro and Vincoli,
30:36seven votes.
30:37We have for Pope,
30:39Lord Rodrigo de L'Ancoli Borogia,
30:42Cardinal Bishop of Porto and Santa Rufina,
30:44Dean of the Sacred College,
30:46Vice-Chancellor of the Holy Roman Church.
30:49As if don't see the prejudices,
30:53present is a list of us.
30:56I am both.
30:58I am both.
31:00We are the picker of Christ.
31:02Oh, my God.
31:08Oh, my God.
31:11Oh, my God.
31:12What name?
31:13What name have you chosen?
31:15Alexander.
31:16Alexander the Vincenium.
31:21We design a table name of Alexander VI.
31:27Oh, my God.
31:32Oh, my God.
31:37Oh, my God.
31:38The Lion of Masonic,
31:43Oh, my God.
31:47Oh, my God.
31:48CHOIR SINGS
32:18CHOIR SINGS
32:49My lord, you write to Rome?
32:56My father's crown?
32:57Yes, my lord. And the world rejoices.
33:00Dogs bark, asses bray.
33:03You've come for me?
33:04Yes, my lord.
33:06No, my lord.
33:08My lord.
33:10In private.
33:11We have been called to St. Peter's chair
33:17at a time of grave danger for Mother Church,
33:22threatened as it is by forces within and without.
33:25We are determined to restore order to this city of Rome
33:30and the papal states.
33:33Brotherhood and peace among princes,
33:36respect for God among all men.
33:39The Holy See shall be cleansed of tyranny,
33:44of simony, corruption, and all villainies.
33:49We are vicar of Christ for the salvation of souls,
33:53not the gratification of personal or family ambition.
33:57Ten papal states will not gratify his family ambition.
34:02Shall be discontinued.
34:04And in earnest of his love,
34:06he makes you Archbishop of Valencia,
34:09together with revenues of 16,000 ducats,
34:12and the palace of...
34:13But I'm not to come to Rome.
34:15Oh, my lord.
34:17He's assured the courier he'll not permit his children to...
34:19They're there already!
34:20Over me!
34:21But discreetly.
34:24His Holiness believes your nature will not allow...
34:26The devil with my nature!
34:27I go to Rome!
34:27My lord, don't be so stubborn!
34:30Make it alone!
34:33Christ's name, my lord!
34:36I won't forget you, you little weasel!
34:41You can tell him I'll wait!
34:43Till I wait no longer!
34:48An audience?
34:49To recommend the Lord Rinaldo to his holiness.
34:53Upon what matter?
34:56The desire of my master, the Duke of Mantua,
34:59that his cousin may receive...
35:00How beautiful the Lady Lucrezia looks in the firelight.
35:06Julia.
35:07Be silent.
35:08You may not speak so, not to me.
35:12You're a child, Lucrezia.
35:13I'll speak as I wish.
35:15I am to be wed.
35:17Thus I am no longer a child.
35:19A child.
35:21And too small to become big with child.
35:23When my brother Cheseray writes to me, he calls you the Bride of Christ.
35:33He does so, he says, because he'd not offend my ears by calling you the Pope's whore.
35:39You witch!
35:40Get out!
35:42Take it out!
35:43Take it out!
35:44Take it out!
35:45Take it out!
35:46Take it out!
35:47Take it out!
35:49Madonna, as I was saying, it is the desire of my master that his cousin should receive the Cardinal's hand.
35:59A neck so white, so slender, needs...
36:02What does your excellency think?
36:06I'm content to agree with you, Madonna.
36:10Pearls.
36:12The Lady Lucrezia is excessively fond of pearls.
36:15My brother Cheseray says that when women become fat, they lose their wits as well as their beauty, and are thus unlovable.
36:28I shall not become fat.
36:32Because your brother Cheseray will not love you.
36:34Hmm.
36:44Cheseray!
36:46Joffrey, wow, it's Cheseray!
36:48Your excellency.
36:49Welcome to my humble house.
36:51Madonna, not sir.
36:53My son.
36:54Happy and unhappy mother.
36:56Oh, Cheseray!
37:02Who is he?
37:03Hmm?
37:03it was a shadow blow out the light and he's gone. why are you in Rome?
37:10how is the question? oh she's well. when will she be well? in the autumn. will you
37:17oppose it? if you will. oh no no my son say nothing. do nothing.
37:22I am content. you weren't given leave to return to Rome.
37:28how are you senor Canale? you prosper. indeed your excellency. his holiness has appointed him commander of the torre de nonna.
37:38prison governor. well you didn't expect that when you wed my mother now did you sir?
37:43yes sir. no no no no no no. forgive me. certainly expected nothing left.
37:48one is to be captain general of the holy church. what?
37:53that was agreed long ago. you were to be the priest and i the soldier.
38:00i could defeat any force you led with only 50 horsemen each wearing a cuirass of brightly polished steel.
38:06well our poppingjay brother would be so besotted with 50 images of himself he'd have no wits left
38:10for battle. you were ever a braggart. order your excellency some uh wine.
38:15must you always quarrel with your brother in my house? we meet nowhere else. then i shall forbid you
38:25to come though i see you too rarely. my father's a fool to favor him. if you weren't so blind with envy
38:30you'd see he loves you both. but he keeps me from rome. why won't he acknowledge me as his child?
38:37the borgia bull stands on every column in rome. yet i may not put it about my house or on my
38:41my servant's coach. chesory have patience. i will speak with him. you?
38:47you mean nothing to admire him. you've nothing to bargain with.

39:16tell him i pray for him.
39:23she's well.
39:24yes.

39:43you've grown a beard.
39:45you wear silk velvet and carry a sword.
39:48you've had an assassin. perato says.
39:50none of this is seemingly an archbishop.
39:55even one so young.
39:58any man with the courage to stand above me may see that i am a servant of god.
40:01i am a servant of god.
40:05chesory, chesory, chesory, chesory.

40:42and may be what you choose.
40:45you're pope.
40:49we are pope.
40:51and carry the world upon our shoulders like a patient has.
40:58we hold the future of the holy sea in trembling hands.
41:01we face the dark and weep for all men.
41:09when ferranti of naples dies.
41:12as you shortly will.
41:14france and spain will grapple in the belly of italy unless i prevent it.
41:20pray for me my son.
41:21and my brother the duke of gandia is to be your captain general.
41:25your brother juan goes to spain in melucrecia's word as our envoy.
41:29and will himself marry anyone anyone they have to offer in aragon.
41:35by lucrecia's marriage we shall have his forces army between us and the greed of france.
41:40you see i'll take you into my confidence and trust.
41:43what trust?
41:45i have waited and waited and waited for you to send for me and still i am kept from rome.
41:51juan attends your courts holding hands with a with an ottoman savage.
41:56this gem is a hostage.
41:57the sultan pays us 40 000 ducats a year to keep him here.
42:01i have a better way with turks. release me from my office.
42:05i'll offer my sword to the knights of rhodes.

42:14you know i do not.
42:15i named you well.
42:19out caesar out nullus.
42:21you shall be caesar or nothing.
42:24there was a reason you were captain in rome.
42:34the cardinal has been examining your legitimacy.
42:37they have decided you are the lawful son of the lady vanoza by the first husband.
42:41we shall issue a bull according.
42:43nail it to the door of a brothel.
42:47my second bull private and i'm promulgated.
42:52i shall acknowledge you as our son.
42:54it will give me great joy.
43:04do i get a cardinal's hat?
43:06of course.
43:15but say more than that chisery.
43:20i brought you a gift.
43:30thank you.
43:41you
43:43so
43:45Let's go.
44:15Where is your brother Chasery?
44:34Not here, as you can see.
44:37Does he love you no more?
44:39You saw him at our wedding today.
44:42Yes.
44:43Sit clean at the thought of your marriage bed.
44:46Hold your gun.
44:47Sit clean at the thought of your marriage bed.
44:53A great day for your house eminence and nobly honored by you.
44:56A great day for your house eminence and nobly honored by you.
45:09A great day for your house eminence and nobly honored by you.
45:22This plate was your gift.
45:25Crocade and rubies from your brother Ludovico, I believe.
45:28A pity that a fever, is it, keeps him from Rome.
45:32You were not present at the wedding.
45:42I avoid the infection of other men's errors.
45:45And how is your nephew, the Duke?
45:48A languishing.
45:48If Ferranti of Naples wants to knock my head and dispute my right to the dukedom,
45:55I'll open the gates of Milan and loose the French at his throat.
46:00France's claim to the throne of Naples is past history.
46:04And Ferranti is not yet dead, Ludovico.
46:07But dying.
46:09Thank God.
46:09He's nominated his son as successor.
46:13And I, Charles of France.
46:15Having reminded the nasty little ape of his right to Naples.
46:19Spain will contest it.
46:22And Rodrigo Borgia?
46:23McGl scrolls to the door.
46:40Enough.
46:47Enough.
46:50Adrian.
46:54My child.
46:58I'm sorry.
47:00I'm sorry.
47:02I'm sorry.
47:04I'm sorry.
47:07My child.
47:27Take her to bed.
47:31A bedding!
47:38No, no, no.
47:42You forgot the contract.
47:44The contract?
47:46The lady Lucretia is too young for the duties of marriage.
47:50In a year, she'll be all you desire.
47:57It's an excellent bordello on the Campo Marseille.
48:01If you wish, my Chamberlain can direct it.
48:07You know Spain will direct the conscience of that Catalan bull.
48:12But he will make them pay for it.
48:15When will Charles come?
48:18If the Rante obliges us by dying before Christmas,
48:22there'll be French lances in our olive groves by spring.
48:25But will they unseat Rodrigo?
48:28And in favour of whom?
48:33Your eminence must now earn his 200,000 ducats.
48:39Thus has the authority of the church become so debased
48:44that there is more honesty among thieves and more virtue among harlots.
48:48We have seen great offices used to gratify lust and greed,
48:54title and preferment distributed like playthings among children.
48:58We have seen the Cardinal of Valencia
49:03sent to Naples to dignify at his honest marriage
49:08between his baby brother Geoffrey and the daughter of Alfonso of Aragon,
49:12between one bastard and another.
49:14God burn your tongue, Robert!
49:16Silence!
49:19Continue, but cautiously.
49:22Even a goat herd knows
49:26that this marriage and the other Spanish marriage of his brother Juan were payment
49:32for the recognition given by the Holy Chair
49:35to the false succession of the Spanish claimant to the throne of Naples.
49:40We were promised honesty and we've been fed with lies.
49:44We were promised an end to corruption and we choke in its stench.
49:47Yes.
49:48We were promised peace and we must now endure war.
49:52Juliano!
49:54May I not speak?
49:56Yes, please.
49:58You know that the cities of the North are already in revolt.
50:03In every village poor priests cry out against Rome's wickedness
50:08and call for an avenging sword.
50:12It will come.
50:14This morning I received news that the King of France will enter Italy when the passes are clear.
50:24And will advance upon Naples to remove the usurper.
50:28No!
50:30All roads to Naples must pass through Rome.
50:32And if Charles of France is opposed by the Holy See...
50:42Ascanio, speak!
50:43Ascanio, speak!
50:53Holiness.
50:56My brother, Ludovico,
51:00wishes me to inform this consistory
51:06that as Duke of Milan...
51:07Know that he strangled your witless nephew!
51:12As Duke of Milan,
51:14and a true servant of God and his conscience,
51:20he feels obliged
51:24to offer the French all assistance to...
51:26to cleanse St. Peter's terror!
51:32To cleanse St. Peter's terror!
51:34Adieu!
51:36Unification!
51:38Adieu!
51:40Of conspiracy, heresy, schism, and treason!
51:44Lord, in heaven, church is this trouble!
51:47Silence!
51:49Silence!
51:51Have none of you been paid enough?
52:02Will you get more from France?
52:05Will you?
52:10You yelp and squeal
52:13like deflowered virgins!
52:17Am I to be frightened of that?
52:21I am Pope!
52:23I!
52:27If I must,
52:29I'll create a hundred new cardinals
52:31to replace you!
52:37Test me!
52:40Test me!
52:44And you'll see what manner of man
52:47is a Borgia Pope!
52:50And I teach weak,
52:53I can't tell you know everybody!
52:54If you were 14 years old,
52:57I can't do anything wrong!
53:00Take my aunt!
53:02If you want Bastarsman to support your elder,
53:03who have access to this hanging giver,
53:05that'll take some help!
53:07Put your own home!
53:08For his wife to take acht of us,
53:10I think that all...
53:12you're meanwhile!
53:14There's something Administrator!
53:15the Holy Father is in famine
53:21the Charles of France
53:28demands free passage through the papal states
53:30and threatens you with deposition if you refuse
53:33what will you do?
53:39in the north
53:40the people are shouting
53:41Viva Franciana
53:42the priests declare that the sword
53:44has come
53:45what will you do?
53:47good sense obliged me to pray
53:50I say
53:50you have no force to resist
53:54no
53:54I believe they may conquer Rome
53:57with a few pieces of chalk
53:59they need to mark their billiards
54:00send me to Naples
