On the death of Pope Innocent VIII in 1492, the 60-year-old Borgia wants the papal tiara at all costs. He Charles VIII of France invades northern Italy on his way to Naples, pledging to depose the Borgian pope if/when he conquers Rome. When Rodrigo Borgia's mistress and his daughter are captured by the French, his palace occupied, the pope retreats to Castel Sant'Angelo. Using the raised monstrance, the pope quiets the cannons and returns to the Vatican. Fearing deposition for simony, he feigns illness, acquiesces to the French taking Naples, bribing Charles with "tribute," gaining time to get assistance from Spain. Charles' soldiers' behavior alienates the Italians, and Europe opposes him because of his success, thus forcing the French to retreat. Borgia family affairs (and "affairs") now take center stage. Starring: Adolfo Celi, Oliver Cotton.

Transcript
01:00Your sins with rivers of tears, your sins, O Italy, your sins, O Rome.
01:07The devil may cry out in rage, yet shall he be driven from the shadow of the holy chair.
01:13The avenging sword shall descend upon those who have offended and who glory in their offense.
01:18The trial and tribulations come amongst us, and there shall be swords in our fields and a plight on the harvest.
01:29Get awake! Arise, ye people!
01:32The servant of the Lord is here!
01:36The servant of the Lord has come to punish those false priests, who preach against greed but benefit by it,
01:45who impose fasting on the hungry but stock their own bellies like butchers.
01:50You who wear rags, you have seen these Pharisees, their miters of gold and precious stones,
02:01their vespers of silk, their gloves of fine goldskin.
02:05You have heard them, the friends castigate, but you have seen the wantons and the concubines that warm their beds.
02:15You're ready.
02:37The road is still open.
02:39Why may I not stay in Rome? I want to stay.
02:42Julia, hold your tongue.
02:43Giovanni, you know what you must do.
02:46You've written it to me. It's all written clearly.
02:48Yes, of course, your holiness.
02:49Well, then, no more to be said.
02:51Holiness, if I may not join my kinsmen, I too wish to stay in Rome.
02:54So you may crawl on your knees before the French?
02:57Your uncle Ascarnio?
02:58I say, Nicolato, would you must find a spell?
03:00No! No, holiness, he plots to kill me.
03:02No one needs to kill you, but we wish.
03:05We have commanded you to escort these ladies to Pesaro until it is safe to return.
03:10Not I. I shall stay here.
03:12Julia!
03:12Pretty Julia, do you truly wish to be ravaged by the French?
03:17Holiness, I beg you, my duty applies to me to...
03:19Duty?
03:21You would instruct us on that.
03:23Your duty to own his force is to obey.
03:26No more.
03:26But my uncle Ascarnio tells me that...
03:27And...
03:28We know what your uncle has been telling you.
03:31And all your thoughts are bruised.
03:33You must spy upon us and betray us.
03:36Do you think you have not read the letters?
03:37Holiness...
03:38Let the false dad.
03:39Why?
03:40Why do you say that now?
03:42Holiness, what does he mean?
03:43He'd share a cell with his uncle Ascarnio.
03:46A cell?
03:47Jesus!
03:47Jesus!
03:47What?
03:48He's very...
03:48He's very...
03:49And he's...
03:50Juliana.
03:51And focusing...
03:51Julian.
03:52Regina.
04:10And Julia.
04:22Madonna Triana.
04:24Yes, Holiness.
04:26You have my eyes, my heart.
04:29Guard them.
04:31Keep them.
04:33Keep them safe.
04:35Now go, all of you.
04:38And God go with you.
04:41But remember, an old man who loves you,
04:44and write to me.
04:47Giovanni, you may carry the bird.
04:55You see?
04:57She treats me like a miserable husband.
04:59No, I'll not go!
05:01Husband, you will take us to Pesaro,
05:03as you'd love me, Giovanni.
05:05We'll be safe there from the French
05:07and in time for the carnival.
05:09With hand and heart,
05:11I promise you we'll be happy there.
05:13Of course you will.
05:15As she told you why,
05:17you have our permission at last.
05:19You may now consummate your marriage.
05:23I have to ask you myself.
05:25I can't give you a chance.
05:27We'll be happy with him.
05:29You might come.
05:30Now, you will be happy with me.
05:32I'll be happy with him.
05:40Would you never miss it?
05:43Must we always have this saracen at our skirts?
05:45Poor Prince Jem.
05:47He's your brother's friend.
05:49And that reminds me of Juan.
05:51And me.
05:53No more than that.
05:55I've written to the Sultan that he may persuade Venice to help us.
05:59I told him that if the French defeat us, they will then declare a crusade
06:04to unseat him and place Prince Jem on the Ottoman throne.
06:08A bold lie.
06:10What would the Sultan answer?
06:12How else?
06:13As a faithless Muslim, he would pay 300,000 ducats
06:17to hear his brother Jem was dead.
06:32His Majesty King Charles VIII of France has entered Italy
06:37with a prodigious army of horse and foot,
06:42declaring that he has come to secure his right to the throne of Naples.
06:46And all roads to that kingdom pass through Rome.
06:50And the king has said he will depose the pope if he defies him
06:53and obstinately supports the Spanish claim to Naples.
06:58All Rome is thus darkened by a great fear,
07:01and many, including those closest to his holiness,
07:04are deserting the city here.
07:06How beautiful she is.
07:11Yet a giant only.
07:13She's a whore.
07:16Your sister?
07:18Of course not.
07:21Julia.
07:22You dare!
07:27What's to be done with the Scarnio's fort, sir?
07:38The order has been given.
07:41We will be taken to the Castelson Tanger tonight.
07:44And Delorovere?
07:46So brave.
07:49So brave.
07:52My heart breaks.
07:54Juliano Roderick may run to be king of France.
08:03And return a French pope.
08:06Popes are not created by kings.
08:09History is no precedent in law or practice.
08:14History is the making of precedents,
08:16and ambitious men the makers of history.
08:18It's a mistake to let him go.
08:21If your enemy is about to make a fool of himself,
08:25it's certainly a mistake to prevent it.
08:29I'll tell your guards to take him up with the Scarnio's fort, sir.
08:33Your eminence.
08:37Holiness.
08:39You will not presume upon our authority.
08:42You will walk in our shadow.
08:45As you hold on us, please, yes.
08:52What's to be done with the Scarnio's fort, sir, once we have it?
08:55The plague is fierce in the cells beneath St. Angelo.
08:59No.
09:00It's a prince of the church
09:02that shall be lodged accordingly.
09:06Remember, Cesare,
09:07do not step from my shadow.
09:11Where will you go?
09:19To join the King of France.
09:21Where will you go, Scarnio?
09:24Must I leave Rome, too?
09:26My example does counter it.
09:28One doesn't follow example
09:30without first knowing the precept.
09:31It's implicit.
09:33Do not trust Rodrigo Borgia.
09:34No, I was
09:37very frank with him last night.
09:40I told him that I feared for my life.
09:42Not my life, at least my office.
09:45And he said
09:45that he'd not turn a dog out of his house.
09:48Still less a member of the sacred college.
09:51You believe that?
09:53I'm not a fool, Giuliano.
09:55Foolish, perhaps.
09:56As vice-chancellor of the Holy Church,
10:01should I not be here
10:01to welcome the King of France?
10:03And from a Borgia prison?
10:04If necessary.
10:06No, I'm surprised
10:07you've not seen how
10:08advantageous that might be.
10:11The King hopes for my earliest attendance upon him.
10:16As you hope he may lift you into the Holy Chair.
10:19Deus dispone it, Ascanio.
10:21But do not believe
10:22that you can outwit the King
10:24or me.
10:27No.
10:28As you say, Giuliano,
10:31God disposes.
10:33And indeed,
10:34at 10 o'clock this night,
10:36Cardinal Schwarzer was arrested
10:37and upon the order of the Pope
10:40was imprisoned in an upper room
10:42of the Vatican Palace.
10:44The guards who took him
10:45say he was not alarmed
10:47and seemed well content.
10:50But other men do daily fear
10:52the arrival of the French,
10:54from whom only God
10:55and the Holy Father may save us.
11:00Is your hold of us satisfied?
11:03First Frenchman to break wind
11:05will rival Joshua's truffets.
11:07For Syria,
11:08these sounds still protective.
11:09Like Judah's goats.
11:12I should leave Rome?
11:14Is that what you propose?
11:18No.
11:19Let the French have the city.
11:20We can hold Castel St. Angelo
11:22until your holiness
11:23recovers his wits
11:24and delivers us.
11:25Are you afraid for me,
11:27Cesare?
11:29No one has yet killed the Pope.
11:31You forget St. Peter.
11:33There's a president for you.
11:35Cesare,
11:36I've had no more than two letters
11:39from Lucrezia.
11:41Have you news?
11:44Julia's overjoyed
11:45because her one-eyed husband
11:46has joined them.
11:47No, she told me
11:48there is no joy in life
11:50without me.
11:52What else would she run?
11:54I'm jealous of her, too.
11:58The French will be
11:59at Civita Vecchia
12:01before Christmas.
12:03Your women are unimportant.
12:05Perhaps yet.
12:12Think of how I suffer
12:13from the love I have for you,
12:16sweet Lucrezia, Lucia.
12:19No father on earth
12:20has such love for his daughter
12:22and none I so cruelly rewarded.
12:26Write to me.
12:27I beseech you,
12:29however briefly,
12:31that I may...
12:32Paul Orsini.
12:41Of Holiness.
12:44Marron!
12:45Why have you come?
12:46Honor demanded it.
12:48Why are you not with your father?
12:50Why are you not in the field
12:52against the French?
12:54Eminence,
12:55remember we were friends
12:56in our childhood.
12:56That I shall.
12:57You may hang by a silken rope.
12:59Why have you come?
13:00Holiness.
13:03My father.
13:05My father has surrendered
13:06his castles and army
13:07to the French
13:07and knelt before their king.
13:11But you,
13:12you my boy,
13:14you could not betray us.
13:16Holiness,
13:17I must follow my father.
13:20But Honor
13:21and my lord,
13:22our one-time French,
13:24you've obliged me to...
13:25But you bastard!
13:26Holiness!
13:26Get it!
13:27Holiness,
13:31in compassion,
13:33I may not desert my family.
13:36No,
13:37you may not.
13:38Then return to them.
13:40Perotto will give you a pass.
13:42No one will stop you.
13:46But tell your father,
13:47tell every Orsini,
13:49we shall not forget,
13:51we shall not forgive.
13:53And upon our certain vengeance,
13:55we pledge our crown,
13:56our lands,
13:58and our life.
14:01Holiness,
14:02go!
14:04Go while you live.
14:07If your Holiness wishes,
14:08I am ready to treat with the French captain
14:10for the release of the Lady Lucrezia
14:11and the others taken with her.
14:14Taken?
14:17Taken with her?
14:18Your Holiness has not heard.
14:22Five days since.
14:23At Vitaebo.
14:42Holy Father!
14:45Sanctidat!
14:46Will you rise now,
14:55my Lord?
14:56They have brought his eminence.
14:59What?
15:00Is it you, my son?
15:02Perotto.
15:04The hour.
15:06Martin,
15:06Your Holiness.
15:08Has the Holy Father
15:08been here all night?
15:10Come,
15:10come,
15:11you must not be on the floor.
15:12Listen to me,
15:13Holy Father.
15:14They brought Cardinal Svosa.
15:16Oh!
15:18Not ignoring my miseries.
15:22What is that noise?

19:18The king is distressed.
19:22He wants to know why your holiness won't return to the Vatican.
19:26You've been grievously ill.
19:29May I tell his majesty that you've recovered?
19:32God has restored our strength.
19:36Good.
19:38So I may tell him that you have decided to return.
19:41No.
19:43We shall decide nothing until the French stop the mouth of their cannon.
19:46Alas, Holmes, his majesty insists that the bombardment of St. Angelo must continue until you inform him that you do wish to leave.
20:01Would you have the Pope give way, Ascanio?
20:08Goodness, please.
20:09Fear nothing, Ascanio.
20:12We may hear the voice of Christ above that clamor.

35:41The behavior of your Majesty's soldiers...
35:43They loop, they rape, I know, I know.
35:45And are greatly weakened by sickness.
35:47You Italians fighting the bodies of your women!
35:50Your Majesty's army brought the sickness!
35:52You lie!

35:58De La Roche!

36:13It's the work of that devil Pope.
36:15We should retire to Rome or beyond before a Spanish army stands between us and France.
36:20Spain!
36:21He tricked me, that Spaniard, that Catalan bull!
36:26Your Majesty...
36:27And you!
36:28All you wanted was his shoes!
36:31May I respectfully remind your Majesty that you hold a Chesory Borgia.

51:09There's some comedy in this.
51:39A comic irony, your eminence, that you should cuckold your brother to spite your father and yet not know.
51:54No doubt the jest obliges you to tell me what it is. I do not know.
52:00Can you release my hair?
52:04The Holy Father has already passed this way before his unholy son.
52:17By the bones of Christ, he is invincible.
52:44Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
52:47The Holy Father has already passed this way.
52:52The Holy Father has already passed this way.
52:57The Holy Father has already passed this way.
53:02The Holy Father has already passed this way.
