Lucrezia is poised to marry the Duke of Ferrara, meeting with his representatives who seek to adjust the Cesare again seeks Louis XII of France as an ally to gain an army since his condottieri have deserted him. He is even enlisting peasants and arming them. Lucrezia has had a still-born child and is being purged and bled by her doctors; Cesare suffers with her. The Orsini have joined the opposition and have enlisted a cardinal and a Spanish military leader; their intent is to defeat Cesare and depose his father. Negotiations between Cesare and the deserters seems to be making progress, but Alexander imprisons the blind cardinal sent to get his promise of no reprisals. The die is cast--there can be no compromise, one side must prevail, winner take all. Cesare succeeds in setting a better trap, captures and executes his enemies, and is both obeyed and feared throughout Romagna. Suddenly both Cesare and the pope are gripped by fever and excruciating stomach pains--is it poison? Starring: Adolfo Celi, Oliver Cotton.

00:00The End
00:30The End
01:00Who are you?
01:13Declare yourself
01:15Open the gates
01:27Who is it?
01:41Answer me!
01:42Who's come?
01:44Ill!
01:45How?
01:46Where?
01:47I'm a fool!
01:54Balloon!
01:55You're ill!
01:55It's nothing!
01:57Get out, you rogue!
01:59Nothing!
02:00The French disease and the slap wasn't worth it.
02:03You'll recover soon.
02:05If I can survive hot plasters of arse and rose water, yes.
02:09Please, God, I'll sit a horse again before autumn.
02:13You've come, my Leonie.
02:15You're with us!
02:17I've come.
02:18But how?
02:20Battaglia.
02:20Oh, friend.
02:21No, no, no, no.
02:23I'm unmanned, that's all.
02:25But I should be best man.
02:28There's bread and wine over there.
02:30Where is the Duke?
02:38Cesare has gone to Milan to face Louis of France alone.
02:43Ah!
02:44The French will do the work for us.
02:47He could offer them help against Spain.
02:48Without Condottiere, without us, he has nothing to offer.
02:51Michelotto is raising militia from the people of the Romanians.
02:54A rebel!
02:55Who believe he protects them from tyranny.
02:57Yes, as a wolf does the sheep herd.
02:59Thus he no longer trusts our son.
03:00Too late.
03:00And with French help, he...
03:02Too late!
03:05Do you weaken?
03:08I cannot.
03:14Yes.
03:15Look!
03:16From the Orsini,
03:18Palombara,
03:20Oliver Otto,
03:21and others.
03:22We meet at La Masione to form a league.
03:27Jean-Baptiste Orsini will sit at our head.
03:29A blind old man?
03:30Yes.
03:31With less bone and muscle than you'll find in an egg white.
03:35But if he rallies what's left of honesty in the College of Cardinals,
03:38we may justly remove that bastard.
03:42And the father of bastards.
03:45The Pope, too.
03:46Cardinal de la Rovere would thank us for emptying a chair he hopes to fill.
03:50And Cardinal de la Rovere is in Milan with the French.
03:54Cesare will find them as close as ticks in a harlot's hair.
03:58Give me a hand.
04:04Do you weaken?
04:05I once loved Duke Cesare as a brother.
04:10But his treachery, his infamy...
04:14Christ forgive me now, I wish him dead.
04:16As God's my maker, Jean-Paulo,
04:19I swear we'll tear him from his high saddle
04:21and walk upon his face.
04:23Majesty.
04:29Majesty.
04:31Your grace is an unexpected visitor.
04:35No doubt your majesty has been too busy to read the letter which I sent in advance.
04:41And unnaturally dressed.
04:44In order that I may travel quickly and unmolested.
04:47But no escort.
04:51None but these gentlemen, your majesty.
04:55And no baggage.
04:57Are required.
05:02So I take you for a poor mendicant.
05:05I have not come to beg.
05:08You may regret you came at all.
05:09We have good reason to be displeased with you.
05:12And I to reassure you if that is so.
05:14When it was known you'd entered Milan,
05:19we were advised to relieve Italy of your troublesome presence
05:23by carrying you back to France.
05:27How could I resist the invitation?
05:30Your majesty's hospitality is justly renowned.
05:38Cousin.
05:40My dear cousin.
05:44A chamber.
05:50Prepare a chamber next to my own.
05:52And food.
05:54Food for this weary traveler.
05:56I expected your eminence as before.
06:16You knew we'd come.
06:18Of course I did.
06:18But your own expectations have disappointed you, reverend.
06:24I did believe the king would receive you less warmly.
06:28Do you hope to disarm me with candor?
06:31It's sometimes more effective than duplicity.
06:34And sometimes indistinguishable.
06:38May we be seated?
06:39Since your grace expected us, you no doubt know the reason for our visit.
06:51You wish to hear what service you might do me?
06:53The king's humor is subject to sudden changes.
06:56His cordiality may not be constant.
06:58I can understand you found that so.
07:01In my case, he's always listened graciously to my counsel.
07:05Which I would be wise to employ.
07:08It could be an advantage to you.
07:10How so?
07:11Milan
07:12His eminence wishes to point out
07:22that my counsel could secure the king's protection
07:26from their hostility.
07:29In return for my gratitude alone.
07:36How is his holiness?
07:39In excellent health for a man of his years.
07:41I'm truly pleased to hear it.
07:42But age and infirmity must eventually triumph.
07:45Indeed.
07:46I pray the holy chair will be as wisely filled when he departs.
07:52May I leap frog some of the way, your eminence?
07:58When his holiness is dead,
08:01I shall still be prince of the Romania.
08:04And captain general of the church,
08:06I hope our interests need not conflict.
08:09If the king is advised to banish my enemies from his court.
08:13And if I am assured that the holy chair will be properly occupied.
08:18To your satisfaction.
08:19As you say.
08:22The king's loving friend, Cardinal D'Amboise,
08:25thinks himself qualified.
08:26So I believe that his majesty may be persuaded against it.
08:31In favor of another?
08:32If you were to be convinced that D'Amboise would not be accepted
08:36by the college of cardinals.
08:39Whom I influentially instruct.
08:42I'm pleased your grace has such understanding.
08:46Your eminence may count upon it.
08:49They will not keep you any longer from your bed.
08:56Eminences,
08:57pray for me.
09:02Of course.
09:10Who is that, cousin?
09:13No one of consequence, your majesty.
09:18Come, come, hurry.
09:24But they're on the bed, on the bed.
09:25Out you go, out, out.
09:33From my own wardrobe.
09:35Your majesty is too generous.
09:39I will not have you shambling about my court like a becker.
09:44A poor knight of St. John.
09:53Julia.
09:54I believe none of that.
10:00No more than I, but it will trouble his sleep.
10:03Wait.
10:04So,
10:05how did we discredit him?
10:09Did you think that we could visit him
10:11without the king hearing of it?
10:12No, no.
10:13I said as much when you proposed the visit.
10:15Indeed, you said little else.
10:16I was for...
10:17Yes?
10:17Yes.
10:18Lies flourish best upon half-truths.
10:22Mm-hmm.
10:25Tomorrow morning, at the king's levy,
10:28we tell him that Cesare summoned us,
10:31that he spoke of a time when the Pope must die,
10:34and that he promised me the votes of the college
10:36against Stomwell.
10:38In return for our support
10:44of the Spanish cause in Naples.
10:46Mm.
10:48Very good.
10:48Do you have anything more to offer?
10:57We're to bargain.
10:57Why else have you come?
11:01To confirm
11:02what I have already written
11:04to your majesty.
11:05You have the Pope's word.
11:09His offer of men and arms
11:11in your campaign against Spain.
11:14Free passage
11:15through the papal states
11:16to Naples.
11:19My own sword
11:20as his captain general
11:21if you have need of it.
11:24Cousin.
11:24In return for what?
11:30Your continuing love
11:32and protection.
11:34From whom?
11:35Are you afraid
11:37of your own condottieri?
11:39Not while I have good friends
11:41like your majesty.
11:53Is his holiness
11:54in good health.
11:57As his years permit.
11:59But age
12:00and infirmity
12:01must eventually triumph.
12:03Alas.
12:04And great men
12:05should think
12:06of his successor.
12:07My good friend
12:08and wise consular
12:09Cardinal D'Amboise.
12:10An excellent choice.
12:12You'll agree?
12:13Before all men.
12:14As I told his eminence
12:15Cardinal de la Rovere.
12:16He was here.
12:18I believe your majesty
12:20saw him leave
12:20with Cardinal Sforza.
12:22And then you deceived him.
12:23I said
12:25your majesty
12:25they were of no consequence.
12:27Why were they here?
12:30To enlist my support
12:32and that of the Cardinals
12:33for Overee
12:34against D'Amboise.
12:36Entre bleu
12:37les misérables traîtres.
12:39They slander you
12:40and then betray me.
12:43I'll banish them
12:44from Milan.
12:45Cesare.
12:55When we meet
12:57in public council
12:58it shouldn't seem
13:00we're already in accord.
13:02Your majesty
13:02may count
13:03upon my discretion.
13:05You'll bargain hard?
13:08But submit.
13:10Sleep well, cousin.
13:11Majesty.
13:18The Duke of Ferrara
13:20sent work.
13:21Your sister
13:22has been brought to bed
13:23of a stillborn child.
13:24Did you know?
13:26No, your majesty.
13:27She's gravely healed.
13:29You wish to go to her?
13:30If your majesty permits.
13:33No.
13:34Not yet.
13:35Your impudence
13:36deserves some punishment.
13:37She has asked for you
13:46many times
13:47my lord Duke
13:48these past ten days
13:49whether you'd yet come.
13:51Who is she?
13:52Weak, my lord.
13:54Very weak.
13:55I've purged her
13:56with wild good
13:57for inward litheness
13:58and watercress
14:00to preserve the hair.
14:01Who's her husband?
14:04No matter.
14:04Do you know me?
14:28Lucrezia.
14:29My lord
14:33she must be
14:34bled again.
14:38Get on me.
14:40My lord
14:40if you just

14:42the bow
14:55beneath the foot
14:58but you don't.
15:01My lord

15:02hold the lady's leg.

16:16Would you forgive me?
16:21All will be well if you forgive me, but you must live.
16:27Live, sweet sister, live.
16:35We are Borgia.
16:40One blood, one heart, one spirit.
16:46Oh, dear Christ, we're life itself.
16:52Gretchen, do you hear me?
16:54We... we're life triumphant.
17:02Gretchen.
17:07Love me.
17:09Love me.
17:14Jesus, really.
17:18Love me.
17:20Gretchen.
17:23For all eternity.
17:33He's a man like any here.
17:38And can't die like any man.
17:41Yes, it does.
17:44Helemi!
17:46Helemi!
17:48Helemi!
17:49Oh, look.
17:50You old fool, you waste our time.
17:52Vitelli!
17:53Play with your beads and leave us.
17:55Vitelli!
17:56Yes, my lady Paolo.
17:58Now.
18:03Eminence.
18:05Baglioni?
18:06Is it you?
18:08Yes, Eminence.
18:09Please continue.
18:11This isn't a defensive league.
18:14It's not what you suggested in your letter, Baglioni.
18:18You are proposing a war.
18:19We'll have a war.
18:21Propose it or not.
18:22The...
18:26Eminence.
18:28This matter is no longer secret.
18:31Say?
18:32The Pope intends to seize us all
18:34and charge us upon our lives for treason.
18:38How do you know this?
18:39We've seen the papal letter.
18:42Show it to me.
18:44I would see it.
18:46He would see it.
18:48Take care.
18:49You tell me.
18:50What?
18:51Who squeaks?
18:54Eminence.
18:55We can no longer delay.
18:57We have ten thousand foot and a thousand horse.
18:59Against Caesar's rabble of peasants.
19:01And we can expect the aid of Venice and Florence.
19:03No.
19:04France holds them in leash.
19:06We have the word to help us.
19:08What value has that in this game of betrayal?
19:11If that's what we play, why should we trust Leorsini?
19:14Yes!
19:15We, your Sini, have suffered the Borgias beyond endurance.
19:23You meet here in my house.
19:27By that we are committed to your enterprise.
19:30Aglioni, tell me again, what is proposed?
19:40Cesare has called upon us for his campaign against Bologna.
19:45But it's a ruse to test us.
19:47A week from now, the people of Urbino rise for their Duke against Michelotto's garrison.
19:52And we give them aid and defy-
19:54Enough!
19:56We know all this.
19:59Do a sign.
20:01Yes!
20:07Give me the bond.
20:12Paolo?
20:22To be left with you, Alex has a safe learning line.
20:23The one on the other side is a hard drive.
20:26You're not a lot of people.
20:28Don't worry about it.
20:29On the other side, let's go.
20:30Show me, I'm a big guy.
20:31We're not sure to make a job.
20:32Watch most people piens.
20:33You're not sure to go.
20:34I'm scared about it.
20:35But we have to get some good stuff.
20:36We have to get some good stuff.
20:38We have to get some great stuff.
20:39We have to take some good stuff.
20:42We came up with the biggest physics.
20:43And we think there's a lot of grit and good stuff.
20:45We have to get some good stuff.
20:46We have to get some good stuff.
20:47We can get some good stuff.
20:48We'll be looking for some good stuff.
20:51Here's a quick end to Borgia, and Borgia bastard.
21:01Shine.
21:04You, you son of a whore.
21:08Three thousand ducats will not buy a month's grain for two thousand more.
21:10You call here as if it were a tavern stop.
21:15Use my clerk like, casually tell me you have committed me to the French court.
21:20No reason for so much collar.
21:21I want ten thousand ducats.
21:26For what?
21:27Huh? You have no army.
21:29You could deteriorate at Lama Jolie, plotting against me.
21:33Against us.
21:38The French horse coming from Lombardy, the forage master will require ten thousand ducats.
21:43I don't want the French here.
21:47The world falls upon us, and you threaten Bologna.
21:51The threat was enough.
21:52They've offered me horse and foot and a condotta for eight years.
21:55Oh.
21:56How did I beget such a fool?
21:59Your holiness has explained that.
22:05I'm the son of a whore.
22:07the son of a whore.
22:08And I'm the son of a whore.
22:09I'm the son of a whore.
22:10The son of an whore.
22:11Cesaris.
22:12You've aroused a nest of sleeping wasps.
22:16You're seniors.
22:19We shall see.
22:30Paolo?
22:33Have they gone?
22:35All gone?
22:37We're alone.
22:39Lead me to a chair.
22:57Now, eminence.
23:00The...
23:02The soldiers of your condotta.
23:05Who has been their paymaster?
23:07Duke Cesare.
23:09And were they regularly paid?
23:11Yes, eminence.
23:13Can we now rely on them to turn against him?
23:16Eminence, we signed the bond.
23:18It would have been foolish not to.
23:21I heard Vitaly rattling his sword.
23:24Even so, honor obliges us to keep our work.
23:27Honor does not make good sense out of bad judgment.
23:31However, those noisy braggarts may truly bring Duke Cesare down.
23:39As we desire.
23:41Perhaps.
23:42But I've no wish to make a pope of Giuliano della Rovere.
23:46Would you have Vitaly as his Captain General?
23:49Eminence.
23:54When I was a boy, so young a boy,
23:59I would wait until others had shaken the olive tree before I gathered the fruit.
24:06Eminence.
24:08Cesare Borgia.
24:10As written to me.
24:14And to me.
24:16Why, in the name of God?
24:18To assure the Hosenius, we intend them no mischief.
24:20Mithruth.
24:21Behind a lie.
24:22When a man with flux is eager to relieve his bowels,
24:25he'll leave by any door that's open to him.
24:31I told the Cardinal, Wasp, to bring his conscience to you.
24:37Cesare.
24:39Duke Greta sent no word to me.
24:42No.
24:47Yes.
24:50Her love and duty, I suppose.
24:53But the Destes are pleased with her.
24:56They're thankful that her dead child is a girl, not a boy.
25:01But her husband is kind to her.
25:04He is. He spends most of his time in taverns.
25:07Oh, Lucia.
25:08May I not leave for Imola?
25:11Imola?
25:13It would be no easier than your revolt.
25:16Are you afraid?
25:19Michelotto will tread on Herbino.
25:22Get back, you scum!
25:24Come on, turn!
25:32It was not to be expected that your Excellency's forces would be so easily routed
25:36by a rude army of peasants and hillmen.
25:41Excellency.
25:43The constellations this month do seem favorable to rebels.
25:48Your Excellency's composure is admirable.
25:51Maybe that I trust no astrologer who's outside the reach of my arm.
25:56Or that the King of France has promised to send you 500 Gascon.
26:00And 2,000 Swiss.
26:03You've raised 800 foot soldiers from the Val de Lamone.
26:08And 6,000 from the Romagna.
26:13You return to Florence?
26:15This day.
26:17When you give your counsel so exact an account of my forces
26:22tell it also to heed the King of France
26:25and mind its own affairs.
26:29May I also inform it that you will now put those forces in the field?
26:35What?
26:39Against men who write to me of their friendship?
26:42To whom I respond as warmly.
26:54I'm opposed by fools, Master Secretary.
26:58Why's that, do you think?
26:59Because they trust each other.
27:03Then why do they write to me?
27:06Because they have no trust.
27:09Try again.
27:12They would rather trust you than each other.
27:16Travel safely, Master Niccolo.
27:18And what does all that word spinning mean?
27:33We can no longer hope for success.
27:38The King of France has informed Venice and Florence
27:42that if they support our enterprise, they'll treat them as enemies.
27:45Then what has rovery done for us in Milan?
27:49What has he done?
27:50The King has banished him.
27:53Chasery.
27:55Eminence, you counsel delay.
27:58No. Caution.
28:00Delay while you scribbled letters.
28:03You too have written to him, Balioni.
28:07Written? To who?
28:09As others here have done
28:11and received letters from him.
28:15From who?
28:17What then may we learn from our lack of faith in each other?
28:21Our want of resolution.
28:24Does no man hear me?
28:26We hear, Vitelli.
28:28I know you've also had letters from Duke Chasery.
28:31I wiped my backside with them.
28:34Eminence.
28:35No, Balioni.
28:36Hear me.
28:40We stand alone.
28:42Without a friend.
28:46Except perhaps the man we declared our enemy.
28:52You treacherous priest.
28:55Vitelli!
28:56You do understand me, Balioni?
29:03He's offered an end to all past grievances.
29:07Remission for injuries done.
29:09The defense of your interests in perpetual alliance.
29:14Has he written so to others here?
29:17Yes, he's written to me.
29:19In return for your loyalty and service.
29:22Is it not plain then that you have shaken your self-confidence?
29:27May we not profit from that?
29:30I'm among madmen.
29:33I shall go to Rome.
29:36We'll have the Pope's security for his son's word.
29:40And who'll Bill the cat?
29:42You, my Lady Paolo?
29:44Yes.
29:46I'll ask Cesare to meet us.
29:49Are you all agreed?
29:51Agreed.
29:55God give me a moment to see your faces.
30:00Paolo?
30:02Vitelli?
30:04You'd abandon me?
30:06If you have it so.
30:09I'll meet him.
30:10Bring him within reach of my sword.
30:13No, Vitelli.
30:14Ask his eminence whether he's not thought of that too.
30:19You are certain he's coming.
30:21I'm less sure that you'll play your part as you should.
30:24Don't address us.
30:25No time for niceties.
30:26I must return to Imola within the hour.
30:29If Cardinal Ursini comes to Rome...
30:31He's coming.
30:33I shall receive him.
30:37As a brother if you wish.
30:39Then hold him fast by the neck like a serpent.
30:43Cesare.
30:44Cesare.
30:49When will you meet the others?
30:53At the close of the year.
30:55Your French horse returns to Lombardy before Christmas.
30:58They'll not know that.
31:01Take care, Cesare.
31:04Send my brother Joffrey to me.
31:07No.
31:08He means nothing to you.
31:09It is all I have.
31:10He's diverted himself with boys long enough.
31:12It's time he was a man.
31:15Botherness.
31:17Cesare.
31:19Send word.
31:20You keep me in darkness.
31:22Send word.
31:23Eh?
31:33My lord.
31:35Honour was always a word that slipped easily from your lips.
31:39Horror.
31:40I endeavour to live by it my lord.
31:42Get tight.
31:43Below the armpit.
31:44Loosen the arch.
31:45And your companions.
31:46You have their word also.
31:47So I have.
31:48Old friends who've stabbed me in the back.
31:52Oh!
31:53Unstrap me.
31:55Bring me another pair of plates tomorrow.
31:57You can try the demograves now.
31:59Mm.
32:00Hmm.
32:01Such friends would heal my wounds with words.
32:02They respond to your own offer of good faith.
32:05Even Vittel.
32:06Even he.
32:07Whose only wish was to make me king of Tuscany.
32:08You can try the demograeus now.
32:13Such friends would heal my wounds with words.
32:17They respond to your own offer of good faith.
32:20Even Vitell, even he,
32:22whose only wish was to make me king of Tuscany.
32:29Paolo.
32:31Paolo, I have no ill will towards you.
32:35Nor against his eminence.
32:38Holiness, I...
32:43You give a blind old man great joy.
32:48You have been a good servant of the church, Giambattista.
32:52So many years wasted in enmity between our families.
32:58All past now.
33:00And when Cheser returns, he will give you his hand on that.
33:05He, uh, he comes to Rome?
33:10In February, for carnival.
33:13No one eminence.
33:15No one knows how to celebrate carnival without him.
33:19He'll devise thousands follies, spend ten thousand ducats.
33:26So prodigal is his generosity to his friends.
33:31Uh, help me retake Urbino?
33:35If your grace honors the offers made in your letters to us.
33:39Honor again, Paolo.
33:41Will you meet us?
33:43Take these away too. They're too tight. They pinched a calf.
33:45Pinched a calf.
33:47My lord.
33:57At Siligalia.
33:58Where?
33:59The last day of the year.
34:02But mark this, Paolo.
34:05You must come, all of you,
34:08with no more than an escort.
34:11As I shall.
34:13No bowmen on rooftops, no spearmen in ambush.
34:16If I smell treachery,
34:19I turn about, summon my army,
34:23and destroy you.
34:27Is it a greed?
34:29It's greed.
34:33Upon your honor.
34:35Upon my honor, my lord.
34:38And go with guard, my friend.
34:57Sometimes forget you're there, Ramiro.
35:00You walk so much in my shadow.
35:03I forget you're there.
35:04Always, my lord.
35:08No.
35:10I think not.
35:12My lord.
35:14My friend, the king of France,
35:17advises me to be rid of you.
35:22Then he may blow into the wind.
35:24Eh, my lord?
35:28Do you plot against me, Ramiro?
35:30Aye.
35:31No, my lord.
35:35Perhaps not.
35:37Yet, when Vitelli came to my camp at Fermignano
35:40and threatened me,
35:42I remember you and he were as thick as flies on carrion.
35:49Vouch for me.
35:50Yes?
35:51Who is it?
35:52Hold it.
35:53I cannot see.
35:54You must name yourself.
35:55Hold it.
35:56Hold it.
35:57Hold it, sir.
35:58It is cardinal.
35:59A cold morning to die.
36:00A warm welcome beyond.
36:01No doubt.
36:02It was a good life.
36:03A swift end to it.
36:04That is a mercy.
36:05They will take Cesare Borgia.
36:06As well he might.
36:07As well he might.
36:08Hasta siempre.
36:09As well.

41:15your hand
41:17as much we should debate
41:21my lord
41:22why else have i come
41:26we debate nothing
41:28cold nights in the saddle
41:35are hard on the bladder
41:36before we talk
41:38give me leave for a moment
41:41treachery
41:52for the
42:22for the Pope's hand only and when that's done attend to
42:52attend to our caged bird his holiness may not lack did Ramiro make a good end? he died well. remember it. brother what do you intend to report of this master Nicolò?
43:22that the council of Florence must agree with the king of France. your beautiful deception was an act worthy of a Roman hero. and perhaps add that your excellency does not misuse compassion.
43:44Cesare! Cesare Borgia!
43:55Absolution! I have not confessed!
44:02Cesare!
44:04Promise me the Pope's indulgence.
44:12Compassion.
44:14Compassion cannot bring unity.
44:17It's fear.
44:19It imposes order and obedience.
44:22If those who fear a prince do not also hate him.
44:28In the name of Christ!
44:32Say!
44:36Fear and hatred are surely indivisible.
44:41With respect, Excellency, no.
44:45Do we not fear God?
44:48Also, men love and hate upon their own prompting and none other.
44:55But they can be made to fear those who wish to be feared.
44:59Therefore, therefore, a wise prince, if he cannot be loved, should make himself feared without being hated and may thus govern without fear himself.
45:18In the name of Christ!
45:48Jailor?
45:49Jailor?
45:50Is it you?
45:51His brother.
45:53Oh, but where is Colonel?
45:56Oh, he'll come shortly.
45:59Have you done with supper?
46:01Oh, no.
46:03Your remnants.
46:05You waste good wine.
46:18Okay.
46:19Let's go.
46:20Okay.
46:21This room is on a floor then.
46:23Bye, Bye.
46:25Bye, Bye.
46:29Bye, Bye.
46:31Bye, Bye.
46:41Bye, Bye, Bye!
46:43Bye, Bye.
46:45Bye, Bye, Bye.
46:48Throughout that year, until late summer, having, in his own words, relieved the country of
47:04a swarm of troublesome insects, the Duke enjoyed such power as no prince of Italy had known
47:12before. Those lords of the Romania whom he had not killed were silenced by fear. His government
47:21was now so sound that he was able to treat with France and Spain as an equal. Truly he
47:29had become an example to all princes who in the future may seek absolute power and unquestioned
47:36authority. And if men did not believe him when he said he merely held that power in the name
47:44of the church, if such men argued that he had made a servant of his father, the Pope, none
47:51was bold enough to say so publicly, for the thought of his anger was now a terror to all.
48:01You take no wine. I have no stomach for it tonight. You have the French disease again.
48:16And what hell is here? I am old, Cesare. Augustine Rome is fatal. Fat man. Then leave it, or grow thin.
48:30The young men think youth is eternal. That's an old man's lie. We know it's too brief.
48:37We know it's too brief. I have only one enemy left now. Time. And no friends. When have we needed them?
48:49When have we needed them? You need it. When I'm dead. I told you once. When you're dead, I shall look into the face of the sun.
49:02Oh, it's too late. Now is darkness. Oh, I'm... I'm you, Cesare. Five years ago, I set aside my cardinal's hat. I can assume it again.
49:23What? All things are possible. You? You would be Pope?
49:33When you were elected, you were asked what name you chose. You said, I choose the name of Alexander the Invincible.
49:42I made that braggart post a reality. All things are possible.
49:51Not then.
49:55What about that?
50:11Oh, yeah.
50:16Oh, no.
50:26Kill me.
50:29You.
50:31No.
50:46Oh, no.
50:48Oh, no.
51:15You talk too much.
51:17Do you question my skill?
51:22Has he asked for any of his sentence?
51:24For no one.
51:25Not once in three days.
51:27Master Burkhardt...
51:31Your Holiness, it is Johan Burkhardt.
51:41He asks again, has he been poisoned?
51:44He wants a menthip euligium, the Herb Penny Royal, well dried, to be burned as incense...
51:49Has he been poisoned?
51:51I have told him.
51:52It is a fever.
51:54And the Duke is also afflicted.
52:03Holiness.
52:04Chis...
52:05Chis...
52:09Chiseryth.
52:20Do not be afraid, my lord.
52:22I have made him drink some himself.
52:23Where is the Pope?
52:24In his bed chamber below, my lord.
52:38Will he die?
52:40My lord, my colleague is greatly skilled.
52:43We have no doubt his Holiness will recover.
52:45Michelotto.
52:47Who knows of my sickness?
52:49No one outside the Vatican.
52:50No one outside the Vatican.
52:55Cure me!
52:57Cure me!
53:02If he dies, I swear, you will shortly follow.
53:05The fever is too strong.
53:06It must be reduced.
53:07Then reduce it!
53:09And quickly!
53:10May it, my family will suffer again...
53:19...
53:21May help !
53:22May help !
53:28May help !
53:29May help !
53:31May help !
53:33May help !
53:35May help !
53:36May help !
53:37May help !
53:40Look.
53:44Thank you, Jan.
53:50Oh, my God.
53:53Oh, my God.
53:58Oh, my God.
54:03Ah!
54:05Ah!
54:06Holiness.
54:10You're crazy.
54:40You're crazy.
55:10You're crazy.
