1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:03,912
Isn't that your father with
the crown prince of Paradise?
2
00:00:03,913 --> 00:00:05,549
He serves as
Lorenzo's notary.
3
00:00:06,921 --> 00:00:09,726
Stay away from the Medicis,
Leonardo.
4
00:00:09,728 --> 00:00:12,496
If you transfer your accounts
to the Pazzi Bank,
5
00:00:12,498 --> 00:00:15,469
away from the Medicis, you'll
have all the funds you need.
6
00:00:16,742 --> 00:00:18,911
Its bite is almost
never noticed.
7
00:00:18,913 --> 00:00:22,652
So no evidence implicating
Lorenzo's lover.
8
00:00:22,654 --> 00:00:24,421
May I model for you again?
9
00:00:24,423 --> 00:00:26,993
Go peddle your wares
with Botticelli. He's an easy mark.
10
00:00:26,995 --> 00:00:29,632
Interrogate the victim
mentioned here, Captain.
11
00:00:29,634 --> 00:00:32,805
Once he confirms the charges,
make your arrest.
12
00:00:32,807 --> 00:00:35,376
It has come to the attention
of the Officers of the Night,
13
00:00:35,378 --> 00:00:37,747
by means of
secret denunciation,
14
00:00:37,749 --> 00:00:39,717
Leonardo di ser
Piero da Vinci
15
00:00:39,719 --> 00:00:42,455
has committed
the grievous act of sodomy.
16
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:44,320
1x05
The Judgment

00:01:44,345 --> 00:01:48,345

18
00:02:25,511 --> 00:02:28,280
Weren't no dream.
You're still here.
19
00:02:35,657 --> 00:02:39,295
He's sleeping like a baby,
I'm scared to turn over.
20
00:02:43,334 --> 00:02:45,003
Bats.
21
00:02:47,773 --> 00:02:49,273
What is that place?
22
00:02:49,275 --> 00:02:53,877
Solitary confinement, where
we put the troublemakers.
23
00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:56,145
So behave yourself.
24
00:02:56,147 --> 00:02:57,914
The bats nest in there?
25
00:02:57,916 --> 00:03:01,584
By the hundreds.
It's a shit-hole.
26
00:03:01,586 --> 00:03:04,820
Then again,
maybe you'd like it.
27
00:03:04,822 --> 00:03:07,356
Where's your
Medici friend now?
28
00:03:17,032 --> 00:03:19,167
Your Highness.
29
00:03:19,169 --> 00:03:22,203
The beating heart
of our operation.
30
00:03:22,205 --> 00:03:25,773
Yes. With an impressively
large workforce.
31
00:03:25,775 --> 00:03:29,276
Let me see.
Three, five, seven...
32
00:03:29,278 --> 00:03:31,645
13... 27...
33
00:03:31,647 --> 00:03:33,681
Your Highness.
34
00:03:33,683 --> 00:03:36,984
Just testing the mettle
of your men.
35
00:03:36,986 --> 00:03:39,019
As I'm sure you're aware,
Queen Isabella and I
36
00:03:39,021 --> 00:03:40,954
don't offer our business
to just anyone.
37
00:03:40,956 --> 00:03:44,457
I can assure you not only
of the competency of my men,
38
00:03:44,459 --> 00:03:46,492
but also guarantee
our reputation
39
00:03:46,494 --> 00:03:49,328
as the most trusted bank
in all of Europe.
40
00:03:49,330 --> 00:03:52,130
And yet you no longer serve
as God's banker.
41
00:03:52,132 --> 00:03:54,165
Well, for now.
42
00:03:54,167 --> 00:03:56,667
A disagreement with
the current policies in Rome.
43
00:03:56,669 --> 00:03:59,369
One I pray
God will soon see rectified.
44
00:03:59,371 --> 00:04:02,038
Do you deserve God's favor,
45
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,742
given the behavior of this artist
I hear you hold in high regard?
46
00:04:06,744 --> 00:04:09,411
Neither da Vinci's actions
nor his fate are my concern.
47
00:04:09,413 --> 00:04:11,880
Only our business
together is.
48
00:04:11,882 --> 00:04:14,449
All I ask is for
the opportunity to show you
49
00:04:14,451 --> 00:04:16,851
what the Medicis
are capable of.
50
00:04:18,687 --> 00:04:20,387
I'm curious.
51
00:04:20,389 --> 00:04:25,158
Approximately how many
florins did...
52
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,593
Rome actually default on?
53
00:04:27,595 --> 00:04:31,029
As of last month, the sum
stood at 87,000 florins.
54
00:04:32,965 --> 00:04:35,633
I never lose count.
55
00:04:35,635 --> 00:04:37,936
Nor do my men.
56
00:04:37,938 --> 00:04:41,538
The Medici family have always
been patrons of the arts.
57
00:04:41,540 --> 00:04:44,774
Particularly those
celebrating the holy faith.
58
00:04:44,776 --> 00:04:49,345
Which is distinctly true of
this creation, Your Highness.
59
00:04:53,149 --> 00:04:55,850
David, as sculpted
by Donatello.
60
00:05:00,422 --> 00:05:04,325
The Lord who saved me from the
claws of the lion and the bear
61
00:05:04,327 --> 00:05:07,160
will save me
from this abomination.
62
00:05:07,162 --> 00:05:10,330
You do not see beauty in its
design, Friar Torquemada?
63
00:05:10,332 --> 00:05:12,966
Is the artist
a sexual deviant,
64
00:05:12,968 --> 00:05:15,935
like others I've heard of
in this region?
65
00:05:15,937 --> 00:05:18,038
I find it lewd.
66
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,206
Please cover it for
the remainder of our visit.
67
00:05:25,245 --> 00:05:27,079
Here's how it works, boy.
68
00:05:27,081 --> 00:05:31,050
You feed me,
I don't stave your head in.
69
00:05:31,052 --> 00:05:32,651
Give it back.
70
00:05:32,653 --> 00:05:35,853
What are you gonna do
about it, scribbler?
71
00:05:35,855 --> 00:05:38,388
I'm gonna take it off you.
72
00:05:41,259 --> 00:05:42,492
What about now?
73
00:05:53,202 --> 00:05:54,902
Come on! Break it up!
74
00:06:00,941 --> 00:06:02,641
Not so confident now!
75
00:06:19,723 --> 00:06:22,758
Your food... as requested.
76
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,194
Let me guess.
77
00:06:26,196 --> 00:06:29,029
Lorenzo asked you
to save me.
78
00:06:29,031 --> 00:06:32,899
You will not see Lorenzo in court
and you cannot blame him for that.
79
00:06:34,402 --> 00:06:38,370
Your defense rests
solely with me.
80
00:06:38,372 --> 00:06:40,572
- I advise...
- Pleading guilty?
81
00:06:40,574 --> 00:06:43,541
- Unfortunately, yes.
- Unfortunately, yes.
82
00:06:43,543 --> 00:06:45,609
I see this
as your only option.
83
00:06:45,611 --> 00:06:47,611
If you're lucky,
you may escape castration.
84
00:06:47,613 --> 00:06:50,846
No! No.
85
00:06:50,848 --> 00:06:53,515
No, pleas. No bargains.
86
00:06:53,517 --> 00:06:55,651
I want full refutation
of the charges.
87
00:06:55,653 --> 00:06:58,253
No... I want them dropped.
88
00:06:58,255 --> 00:07:03,491
I remain locked in here on the
accusations of some unknown accuser.
89
00:07:03,493 --> 00:07:05,592
- Unimportant.
- Unimportant?
90
00:07:05,594 --> 00:07:08,862
Unless you can provide an
alibi against the accusation
91
00:07:08,864 --> 00:07:11,898
that you sodomized one...
92
00:07:11,900 --> 00:07:14,734
Jacopo Saltarelli.
93
00:07:14,736 --> 00:07:16,736
Jacopo's no victim.
94
00:07:20,139 --> 00:07:22,807
We have a number of defenses
at our disposal.
95
00:07:22,809 --> 00:07:24,975
- We can blame drink...
- No.
96
00:07:24,977 --> 00:07:26,743
The use of opiates.
97
00:07:26,745 --> 00:07:28,377
Or we can shift blame.
98
00:07:28,379 --> 00:07:31,113
Your mentor Verrochio,
perhaps.
99
00:07:31,115 --> 00:07:32,914
He corrupted you as a boy,
100
00:07:32,916 --> 00:07:35,082
warping your sense
of morality.
101
00:07:35,084 --> 00:07:38,384
Why not go further back?
Claim it began with you.
102
00:07:38,386 --> 00:07:43,355
Oh, fuck! I specifically
asked for Marcgravia evenia!
103
00:07:47,661 --> 00:07:51,096
Ah, here it is.
104
00:07:51,098 --> 00:07:53,798
Are you gonna eat them
or play with them?
105
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,301
- I'll confiscate them.
- Yeah. By all means.
106
00:07:57,303 --> 00:08:01,305
Demonstrate to everyone that I
can terrify you with a leaf.
107
00:08:01,307 --> 00:08:03,273
Perhaps I can dig
an escape tunnel.
108
00:08:03,275 --> 00:08:06,510
Your tunneling days are over,
sodomite.
109
00:08:06,512 --> 00:08:10,013
Deviance is in
the eye of the beholder.
110
00:08:10,015 --> 00:08:12,983
Plants practice a form of it.
Pollination.
111
00:08:12,985 --> 00:08:16,419
They seduce bees, bats,
into transporting their seed.
112
00:08:16,421 --> 00:08:19,221
Because bats use echo
to navigate.
113
00:08:19,223 --> 00:08:22,324
See?
114
00:08:22,326 --> 00:08:25,360
Plants have devised a way
to exploit it.
115
00:08:25,362 --> 00:08:27,862
Cos normal leaves,
they have weak reflections.
116
00:08:27,864 --> 00:08:31,532
But these concave petals,
they...
117
00:08:31,534 --> 00:08:35,402
..they reflect sound
over a much larger area.
118
00:08:35,404 --> 00:08:38,638
Like a cave.
119
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,141
And it draws the bats in. It's
a consensual arrangement.
120
00:08:42,143 --> 00:08:45,311
The bats get nectar
and the flowers get sex.
121
00:08:53,454 --> 00:08:57,956
Insanity is, of course, another
defense at our disposal.
122
00:09:03,595 --> 00:09:09,032
You are demented if you think
these charges will simply vanish.
123
00:09:09,034 --> 00:09:11,601
They must.
124
00:09:11,603 --> 00:09:13,202
They will.
125
00:09:20,242 --> 00:09:24,712
That pan-faced wench wouldn't
know art if it sat on her face,
126
00:09:24,714 --> 00:09:28,548
which her friar
clearly longs to do.
127
00:09:28,550 --> 00:09:31,185
And yet, having lost
Rome's business,
128
00:09:31,187 --> 00:09:34,822
we need Ferdinand and Isabella
far more than they need us.
129
00:09:34,824 --> 00:09:36,658
Did Ferdinand mention
the trial?
130
00:09:36,660 --> 00:09:38,793
Of course he did.
131
00:09:38,795 --> 00:09:41,896
Rome's strategy with these
charges is brilliant.
132
00:09:41,898 --> 00:09:43,899
They couldn't have come
at a worse time.
133
00:09:43,901 --> 00:09:46,901
Ferdinand and Isabella
face their own difficulties.
134
00:09:46,903 --> 00:09:48,937
Currently they wage war
with Portugal,
135
00:09:48,939 --> 00:09:51,974
while facing
civil uprisings at home.
136
00:09:51,976 --> 00:09:55,110
Perhaps what they require
is distraction.
137
00:09:55,112 --> 00:09:57,680
And what exactly do you think
would amuse them?
138
00:09:57,682 --> 00:10:01,985
A bonfire of Jews?
139
00:10:01,987 --> 00:10:05,021
Let your brother
decide that.
140
00:10:05,023 --> 00:10:06,956
He can create
a theatrical spectacle,
141
00:10:06,958 --> 00:10:08,792
fill the stands
with happy citizens
142
00:10:08,794 --> 00:10:10,694
and show a harmonious city.
143
00:10:10,696 --> 00:10:14,664
Are you mad? Put our faith in
Giuliano's clod-hopping hands?
144
00:10:14,666 --> 00:10:17,934
Like you, he has his talents.
145
00:10:17,936 --> 00:10:20,903
You impress. He charms.
146
00:10:38,854 --> 00:10:41,389
He looks like hell.
Do they feed him in there?
147
00:10:47,061 --> 00:10:49,763
Magistrate,
the defense is prepared.
148
00:10:49,765 --> 00:10:51,865
Will the prosecution
be joining us?
149
00:10:51,867 --> 00:10:56,069
Or have they realized
the error of these charges?
150
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,939
Your answer has arrived.
151
00:11:05,580 --> 00:11:08,915
What the hell is Francesco Pazzi doing here?
He's not a jurist.
152
00:11:08,917 --> 00:11:10,784
That's good for Leo,
isn't it?
153
00:11:10,786 --> 00:11:12,686
Pazzis are
the Medicis' rivals.
154
00:11:12,688 --> 00:11:17,591
Magistrate, may I raise a point relating
to Signor Pazzi's role in this trial?
155
00:11:17,593 --> 00:11:20,661
To my knowledge, he is not
a member of the Notary Guild.
156
00:11:20,663 --> 00:11:23,765
Signor Pazzi's
associate membership
157
00:11:23,767 --> 00:11:27,535
was approved at an impromptu
session last night.
158
00:11:27,537 --> 00:11:31,738
Which was the appropriate forum
for raising any objections.
159
00:11:31,740 --> 00:11:34,675
Do you wish to make a formal
complaint on behalf of your son?
160
00:11:34,677 --> 00:11:38,512
He's not...
161
00:11:38,514 --> 00:11:40,447
No.
162
00:11:40,449 --> 00:11:42,515
No complaint.
163
00:11:42,517 --> 00:11:46,419
Does the accused have any opening
mitigation to enter into plea?
164
00:11:46,421 --> 00:11:50,022
May it please the court, we will
be contesting all the charges.
165
00:11:50,024 --> 00:11:53,726
Signor da Vinci, do you understand
the potential ramifications
166
00:11:53,728 --> 00:11:56,128
of challenging
these indictments?
167
00:11:58,165 --> 00:12:02,633
My client requests the privilege
to make an opening statement.
168
00:12:18,383 --> 00:12:22,052
I have dedicated my life...
169
00:12:22,054 --> 00:12:25,723
..to the study of nature...
170
00:12:25,725 --> 00:12:29,460
..free from superstition
or distortion.
171
00:12:29,462 --> 00:12:32,296
These accusations, at best,
172
00:12:32,298 --> 00:12:34,732
stem from a wellspring
of ignorance.
173
00:12:37,736 --> 00:12:40,971
And, at worst, it speaks of
political chicanery
174
00:12:40,973 --> 00:12:43,641
to question anyone's intimate
relations in this manner,
175
00:12:43,643 --> 00:12:47,745
cos I have nothing
to be ashamed of.
176
00:12:47,747 --> 00:12:50,214
And I have nothing to defend.
177
00:12:50,216 --> 00:12:53,416
I can vouch for that.
Should put me on the stand.
178
00:12:53,418 --> 00:12:55,686
Hearing how he deflowered
a nun won't help.
179
00:12:55,688 --> 00:12:59,123
He'll only receive a fine.
No-one burns for this any more.
180
00:13:00,526 --> 00:13:02,826
..of those who will never
be born,
181
00:13:02,828 --> 00:13:05,028
thanks to their vice.
182
00:13:05,030 --> 00:13:08,566
The sodomites in your city...
183
00:13:08,568 --> 00:13:12,903
..have the souls of the
unborn on their conscience.
184
00:13:12,905 --> 00:13:17,041
Those souls
scream for justice -
185
00:13:17,043 --> 00:13:19,010
"To the fire.
186
00:13:19,012 --> 00:13:22,581
To the fire!"
187
00:13:22,583 --> 00:13:26,918
Instead, your leaders
promote sodomy
188
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,522
by levying fines instead
of the proper sanction,
189
00:13:30,524 --> 00:13:33,292
which is... the fire.
190
00:13:33,294 --> 00:13:35,327
Who shat in his wine sack?
191
00:13:35,329 --> 00:13:39,898
When you tax a crime,
you make it a commodity.
192
00:13:39,900 --> 00:13:43,701
The Medicis make their
fortune from this vice
193
00:13:43,703 --> 00:13:48,472
at the price of Florence's
eternal shame.
194
00:13:48,474 --> 00:13:51,608
Objection, Magistrate. I cannot
comprehend why a foreigner
195
00:13:51,610 --> 00:13:54,010
is being allowed
to testify here today.
196
00:13:54,012 --> 00:13:58,614
I called the esteemed Friar
Torquemada as a voice of morality,
197
00:13:58,616 --> 00:14:02,284
reminding us all of our solemn
responsibilities before God.
198
00:14:02,286 --> 00:14:05,587
Would you deny him
that right?
199
00:14:05,589 --> 00:14:10,725
I would only remind the court that the
seriousness of these charges is not in doubt,
200
00:14:10,727 --> 00:14:13,661
but God is not served
by punishing the innocent.
201
00:14:13,663 --> 00:14:16,363
The case remains to be made.
202
00:14:16,365 --> 00:14:19,866
Then perhaps it shall -
after a recess.
203
00:14:26,473 --> 00:14:30,376
I've heard, through
the prison grapevine,
204
00:14:30,378 --> 00:14:34,179
that Giuliano's mounting a theatrical
production for the royal couple.
205
00:14:34,181 --> 00:14:36,948
You face prolonged captivity
and possible gelding,
206
00:14:36,950 --> 00:14:39,317
yet your thoughts focus
on trivialities.
207
00:14:43,355 --> 00:14:45,723
See this is delivered
to Zoroaster.
208
00:14:45,725 --> 00:14:49,960
All you wrote was gibberish.
209
00:14:49,962 --> 00:14:52,129
Your imprisonment
affects your mind.
210
00:14:56,033 --> 00:15:00,603
That's perhaps true,
but that's cipher.
211
00:15:00,605 --> 00:15:02,638
If my internment
is to continue,
212
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,108
then there are certain private
wishes I need fulfilled.
213
00:15:06,110 --> 00:15:09,043
Minor matters.
Disposition of my business.
214
00:15:09,045 --> 00:15:11,446
That's all.
215
00:15:11,448 --> 00:15:13,881
It's nothing to trouble you,
Father.
216
00:15:13,883 --> 00:15:17,418
Oh, um...
217
00:15:17,420 --> 00:15:21,822
If Giuliano is yet
to select a text,
218
00:15:21,824 --> 00:15:23,857
may I suggest the Decameron.
219
00:15:23,859 --> 00:15:27,126
My favorite
is the stolen pig story.
220
00:15:27,128 --> 00:15:28,861
It's quite a crowd-pleaser.
221
00:15:39,604 --> 00:15:42,206
What about... a passion play?
222
00:15:42,208 --> 00:15:44,408
Two hours of
moral instruction? No.
223
00:15:44,410 --> 00:15:46,910
I need a more diverting
theatrical piece
224
00:15:46,912 --> 00:15:49,846
to distract the royals
from our little scandal.
225
00:15:49,848 --> 00:15:52,315
- Oedipus Rex?
- No, I think not.
226
00:15:52,317 --> 00:15:55,018
We'd just be trading sodomy
for incest.
227
00:15:55,020 --> 00:15:57,120
I've always loved Lysistrata.
228
00:15:57,122 --> 00:16:00,190
What? Women withholding sex?
229
00:16:00,192 --> 00:16:04,193
Not only is that terrifying,
but Isabella is...
230
00:16:04,195 --> 00:16:06,396
well, frigid.
231
00:16:06,398 --> 00:16:09,032
We probably shouldn't
draw attention to it.
232
00:16:09,034 --> 00:16:11,000
The Birds, then, Excellency?
233
00:16:11,002 --> 00:16:13,302
A fantasy
with pleasing songs.
234
00:16:13,304 --> 00:16:15,505
Sounds boring as shit.
235
00:16:15,507 --> 00:16:17,574
My s...
236
00:16:17,576 --> 00:16:20,109
defendant asked me
to deliver this.
237
00:16:20,111 --> 00:16:21,877
It's in some blasted code,
238
00:16:21,879 --> 00:16:24,780
but as far as I can see, it's not
his last will and testament.
239
00:16:24,782 --> 00:16:27,249
I came to you for your
artistic expertise, Andrea.
240
00:16:27,251 --> 00:16:28,917
Do you have nothing suitable
to offer?
241
00:16:28,919 --> 00:16:30,585
Have you considered
the Decameron?
242
00:16:30,587 --> 00:16:32,587
No. Should we.
243
00:16:32,589 --> 00:16:36,491
It's a satire, brilliantly funny and
penned by a native son of Florence.
244
00:16:36,493 --> 00:16:38,092
With quite a bit of sex
in it.
245
00:16:38,094 --> 00:16:40,362
- Between a man and a woman?
- Of course.
246
00:16:40,364 --> 00:16:43,331
Well, I don't see the
problem. We have our choice.
247
00:16:43,333 --> 00:16:47,069
- Bring me a transcription.
- Is this wise, Excellency?
248
00:16:47,071 --> 00:16:50,339
Wouldn't it be better to
examine the Decameron again?
249
00:16:50,341 --> 00:16:53,775
I'm told the stolen pig
is quite a crowd pleaser.
250
00:16:53,777 --> 00:16:56,144
Signor,
court has been recalled.
251
00:17:09,693 --> 00:17:12,995
Tell me...
Signor Saltarelli,
252
00:17:12,997 --> 00:17:16,365
when you went back
to Signor da Vinci's studio,
253
00:17:16,367 --> 00:17:18,433
what happened?
254
00:17:18,435 --> 00:17:21,870
The Maestro offered
to draw me. Naked.
255
00:17:21,872 --> 00:17:24,572
You've modeled
for other artists before,
256
00:17:24,574 --> 00:17:26,908
so this wasn't unusual.
257
00:17:26,910 --> 00:17:28,609
Did he pay you for your time?
258
00:17:28,611 --> 00:17:30,744
Yes.
259
00:17:30,746 --> 00:17:34,080
Four gold florins.
260
00:17:34,082 --> 00:17:36,549
A handsome sum
for an evening's work.
261
00:17:36,551 --> 00:17:39,885
The laborer would have to toil
for a month to earn the same.
262
00:17:39,887 --> 00:17:42,754
The payment wasn't just
for the drawing, was it?
263
00:17:42,756 --> 00:17:45,123
No.
264
00:17:45,125 --> 00:17:49,926
- It was for my silence.
- Your silence?
265
00:17:49,928 --> 00:17:53,563
What secret requires a
payment of four gold florins?
266
00:17:55,798 --> 00:17:57,365
He sodomized me.
267
00:17:57,367 --> 00:17:59,467
Did you consent
to this heinous act,
268
00:17:59,469 --> 00:18:01,769
offer any encouragement
whatsoever?
269
00:18:01,771 --> 00:18:03,303
No, sir. None.
270
00:18:03,305 --> 00:18:05,905
So Leonardo da Vinci
forced himself on you?
271
00:18:34,228 --> 00:18:38,331
This was your first time...
being raped?
272
00:18:41,033 --> 00:18:42,100
Yes.
273
00:18:42,102 --> 00:18:44,302
And you were so traumatized,
274
00:18:44,304 --> 00:18:47,472
- you went out and celebrated immediately after?
- I object!
275
00:18:47,474 --> 00:18:49,707
Were you not at
the Barking Dog that evening,
276
00:18:49,709 --> 00:18:52,610
buying drinks for the
establishment's entire clientele?
277
00:18:52,612 --> 00:18:54,879
Yes.
278
00:18:54,881 --> 00:18:58,215
I needed something
to numb the pain.
279
00:18:58,217 --> 00:19:00,017
To be surrounded by friends.
280
00:19:00,019 --> 00:19:04,921
Front or back?
281
00:19:04,923 --> 00:19:08,825
Did my client take you
from the front or the back?
282
00:19:08,827 --> 00:19:10,494
- Both.
- How many times?
283
00:19:10,496 --> 00:19:12,395
- Three.
- It must have been painful.
284
00:19:12,397 --> 00:19:15,532
And yet you chose revelry
over medical aid.
285
00:19:15,534 --> 00:19:19,302
Outrageous! This boy's not the one
who should suffer humiliation.
286
00:19:19,304 --> 00:19:21,938
- What of my client's suffering?
- I will decide.
287
00:19:28,712 --> 00:19:31,213
Do you want to join your son
in the Bargello?
288
00:19:31,215 --> 00:19:34,483
Because that's the way you're heading
with this line of questioning.
289
00:19:34,485 --> 00:19:37,586
The defense must be allowed to
pursue all aspects of the case.
290
00:19:37,588 --> 00:19:40,589
- Your son is guilty.
- The case is not complete.
291
00:19:40,591 --> 00:19:43,259
This trial is a performance,
you oaf.
292
00:19:43,261 --> 00:19:45,796
Like the bread and circuses
of your Medici sponsor.
293
00:19:45,798 --> 00:19:49,600
Now, play your part and
perhaps you will be spared.
294
00:19:58,110 --> 00:19:59,644
I apologize
295
00:19:59,646 --> 00:20:04,415
for dredging up what must be
uncomfortable memories.
296
00:20:04,417 --> 00:20:06,818
You were only performing
your job, Signor.
297
00:20:11,357 --> 00:20:13,491
And what of your job, hm?
298
00:20:13,493 --> 00:20:15,793
How do you survive
beyond the gold florins
299
00:20:15,795 --> 00:20:17,562
my client allegedly gave you?
300
00:20:17,564 --> 00:20:19,998
Surely not on the occasional
modeling assignment.
301
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,100
- Signor da Vinci.
- Perhaps your silence
302
00:20:22,102 --> 00:20:26,705
is because you would prefer not to admit
to your true profession of prostitution.
303
00:20:26,707 --> 00:20:31,176
- Objection!
- How much are you being paid for your performance today?!
304
00:20:31,178 --> 00:20:32,878
- Enough!
- Ha-ha!
305
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,881
The court is adjourned...
306
00:20:34,883 --> 00:20:39,184
so I may consider suitable
punishment for defense council.
307
00:20:57,668 --> 00:20:59,202
You're quite good at this.
308
00:21:02,340 --> 00:21:06,010
I didn't do that for you.
309
00:21:06,012 --> 00:21:09,880
You disgust me.
310
00:21:09,882 --> 00:21:13,717
Through the lies, some part
of that boy's story is true.
311
00:21:16,388 --> 00:21:20,425
I warned you, Leonardo,
about overreaching.
312
00:21:21,694 --> 00:21:24,730
You have thought life a game,
313
00:21:24,732 --> 00:21:28,467
but Rome's lapdogs have
already decided your fate.
314
00:21:28,469 --> 00:21:30,335
And when they have swayed
the crowd,
315
00:21:30,337 --> 00:21:32,271
they'll leave you to rot
in your cell
316
00:21:32,273 --> 00:21:36,441
until your already-diminished
senses are all but eaten away.
317
00:21:52,159 --> 00:21:55,760
That hustler hurt us.
318
00:21:55,762 --> 00:21:58,797
If the people believe
he's amoral,
319
00:21:58,799 --> 00:22:01,900
I can't pass a guilty verdict
without appearing corrupt myself.
320
00:22:01,902 --> 00:22:04,703
You'll do as instructed.
321
00:22:04,705 --> 00:22:06,738
I'm an elected official.
322
00:22:06,740 --> 00:22:10,276
I'll do as someone
pays me to do.
323
00:22:10,278 --> 00:22:12,511
Don't fret.
324
00:22:12,513 --> 00:22:17,716
Count Riario's coin will fund even your
grandson's campaign for this office.
325
00:22:17,718 --> 00:22:19,951
Perhaps this setback's
a blessing.
326
00:22:19,953 --> 00:22:21,920
The longer we draw out
these proceedings,
327
00:22:21,922 --> 00:22:24,556
the more we embarrass Lorenzo
in the public eye.
328
00:22:24,558 --> 00:22:26,725
And the longer da Vinci rots
in his cell,
329
00:22:26,727 --> 00:22:29,628
the more his mind frays
and the guiltier he looks.
330
00:22:29,630 --> 00:22:31,730
Captain.
331
00:22:31,732 --> 00:22:33,699
Signor?
332
00:22:33,701 --> 00:22:38,270
Gather your men.
333
00:22:38,272 --> 00:22:40,572
This isn't a shopping list.
It's just nonsense.
334
00:22:40,574 --> 00:22:42,741
Don't waste your time.
He wrote it in cipher.
335
00:22:42,743 --> 00:22:44,609
A list of items,
precise instructions
336
00:22:44,611 --> 00:22:49,313
with an absence of an apology for
snubbing me at the Medici celebration.
337
00:22:49,315 --> 00:22:52,116
Magnesium. What does Maestro
da Vinci want with this?
338
00:22:52,118 --> 00:22:54,998
Fucked if I know. But don't speak his
name unless you'd like to join him.
339
00:22:57,488 --> 00:22:59,656
Of all things, why sodomy?
340
00:22:59,658 --> 00:23:01,825
I mean, no-one gets tried
for that.
341
00:23:01,827 --> 00:23:03,793
Yeah, not in Florence.
342
00:23:03,795 --> 00:23:07,730
Go 100 miles in any direction and
suddenly Rome owns your prick.
343
00:23:18,975 --> 00:23:20,576
You have no right to be here!
344
00:23:20,578 --> 00:23:23,245
There must be something here!
Keep searching!
345
00:23:23,247 --> 00:23:26,649
- What are you doing?
- Look over there.
346
00:23:26,651 --> 00:23:30,953
- Look for what?
- Evidence... of who da Vinci truly is.
347
00:23:30,955 --> 00:23:34,291
Sir. Found a hidden compartment
with more journals.
348
00:23:34,293 --> 00:23:36,359
Captain, look at this.
349
00:23:36,361 --> 00:23:38,061
This is what Pazzi wants.
350
00:23:43,767 --> 00:23:46,368
Further investigation
into Leonardo da Vinci
351
00:23:46,370 --> 00:23:51,106
has uncovered more products
of an unnatural mind.
352
00:23:51,108 --> 00:23:52,707
The drawings here before you
353
00:23:52,709 --> 00:23:54,676
were found
in da Vinci's studio.
354
00:23:54,678 --> 00:23:58,080
Notice the extent to which the
deviant has detailed the male...
355
00:23:58,082 --> 00:24:00,449
anatomy.
356
00:24:00,451 --> 00:24:02,451
Was man not created
in God's image?
357
00:24:02,453 --> 00:24:05,821
Genesis, artista?
I'm shocked you got that far.
358
00:24:05,823 --> 00:24:10,726
Studying the human form is an expression,
if not an adoration, of the divine.
359
00:24:10,728 --> 00:24:12,795
Mm. Mm.
360
00:24:12,797 --> 00:24:15,831
But then,
what of this notebook?
361
00:24:15,833 --> 00:24:19,401
Found in a secret
compartment, no less.
362
00:24:19,403 --> 00:24:23,138
Raiding the Maestro's workshop.
That's the obscenity here.
363
00:24:23,140 --> 00:24:25,940
Please excuse the condition
of the evidence, for...
364
00:24:25,942 --> 00:24:29,811
clearly the accused tried to prevent his
heathen beliefs from being presented here
365
00:24:29,813 --> 00:24:33,482
by burning it.
366
00:24:33,484 --> 00:24:36,452
An animal head on human form.
367
00:24:36,454 --> 00:24:39,789
A pagan god.
368
00:24:39,791 --> 00:24:41,991
And not just one...
369
00:24:41,993 --> 00:24:43,426
Dozens.
370
00:24:43,428 --> 00:24:45,996
The adoration of a heretic.
371
00:24:45,998 --> 00:24:51,135
This is not worship
but an artistic endeavor.
372
00:24:51,137 --> 00:24:52,870
Really?
373
00:24:52,872 --> 00:24:56,741
Are you then suggesting that
this false god is a commission
374
00:24:56,743 --> 00:25:00,177
for your son's
most recent patron?
375
00:25:00,179 --> 00:25:04,449
I submit that not only does this
deviant practice sodomy, but sorcery.
376
00:25:06,419 --> 00:25:09,688
Thus I ask the court to consider
no other sentence but death.
377
00:25:26,471 --> 00:25:31,140
- You've gone too far.
- This doesn't concern you.
378
00:25:31,142 --> 00:25:35,477
Count Riario made it very clear
that he has plans for da Vinci.
379
00:25:35,479 --> 00:25:37,846
He wanted to see him
arrested, not dead.
380
00:25:37,848 --> 00:25:41,550
Well, that's in the hands
of the court.
381
00:25:41,552 --> 00:25:45,421
What might the court say about your
own family's erotic proclivities?
382
00:25:45,423 --> 00:25:47,723
The rumors of your own wife,
Allegra,
383
00:25:47,725 --> 00:25:51,561
dallying with a strikingly
mannish maidservant.
384
00:25:51,563 --> 00:25:54,297
Shame my family
at your peril, harlot.
385
00:25:54,299 --> 00:25:57,167
Mm. I welcome the invitation.
386
00:25:57,169 --> 00:26:01,004
You seem oddly bothered about the fate
of a man you denounced to the court.
387
00:26:01,006 --> 00:26:03,874
If you have any respect for
the powers that command me,
388
00:26:03,876 --> 00:26:07,245
you will never again mention forcing
me to write the denunciation.
389
00:26:07,247 --> 00:26:09,647
You are reckless, Signor.
390
00:26:09,649 --> 00:26:12,851
You have let your hatred for the
Medicis cloud your purpose.
391
00:26:12,853 --> 00:26:16,555
And your fear clouds yours.
392
00:26:16,557 --> 00:26:18,824
I assure you, Signora,
393
00:26:18,826 --> 00:26:22,929
when Lorenzo and da Vinci
are gone,
394
00:26:22,931 --> 00:26:25,999
there'll be plenty of cocks
willing to fill your void.
395
00:26:41,816 --> 00:26:43,750
Perhaps a bit more
detail here.
396
00:26:43,752 --> 00:26:47,621
- How does this look, Excellency?
- Lovely. Very lovely.
397
00:26:47,623 --> 00:26:49,456
Giuliano!
398
00:26:51,860 --> 00:26:53,928
Are you out of
your fucking mind?
399
00:26:53,930 --> 00:26:56,363
The Decameron?
400
00:26:56,365 --> 00:27:00,067
I would have words
with my brother. Away.
401
00:27:00,069 --> 00:27:03,137
Away!
402
00:27:03,139 --> 00:27:04,271
Go, go, go.
403
00:27:04,273 --> 00:27:07,375
I asked you to help restore
our reputation.
404
00:27:07,377 --> 00:27:10,111
- You asked me to charm them.
- They are devoted Catholics.
405
00:27:10,113 --> 00:27:12,915
How do you think they will
respond to a play
406
00:27:12,917 --> 00:27:16,719
that's wall to wall nun-sluts
and horny priests?
407
00:27:16,721 --> 00:27:18,921
- It's bawdy! It's vulgar!
- It's Florence.
408
00:27:18,923 --> 00:27:20,890
That's why people love it.
409
00:27:20,892 --> 00:27:24,193
You will cut every scene
that is at all scandalous.
410
00:27:24,195 --> 00:27:27,330
If we fail to secure Ferdinand
and Isabella's accounts,
411
00:27:27,332 --> 00:27:30,667
the Medici Bank is finished.
412
00:27:30,669 --> 00:27:33,603
Time again you prove to be
nothing more than dead weight.
413
00:27:33,605 --> 00:27:37,107
Well, perhaps you should mark me a
traitor and have me killed as well.
414
00:27:47,552 --> 00:27:50,922
This is one thing
you were never better at.
415
00:27:55,461 --> 00:27:57,495
Sodomy.
416
00:27:57,497 --> 00:27:59,497
Sorcery.
417
00:27:59,499 --> 00:28:02,466
Offerings to a pagan god.
418
00:28:02,468 --> 00:28:05,903
What crimes could be worse
than these?
419
00:28:05,905 --> 00:28:08,338
Thus, by the order
of this court,
420
00:28:08,340 --> 00:28:12,809
the accused - if convicted
of the charge of sorcery -
421
00:28:12,811 --> 00:28:14,644
shall be burned
at the stake...
422
00:28:16,515 --> 00:28:21,951
..so that his eternal soul is
separated from his perverted body.
423
00:28:21,953 --> 00:28:27,056
We grant the accused one day to
confess and plead mitigation...
424
00:28:27,058 --> 00:28:29,659
..before we deliberate
any further.
425
00:28:34,765 --> 00:28:37,967
You must accept a plea,
Leonardo.
426
00:28:37,969 --> 00:28:39,835
If you confess,
there's a chance!
427
00:28:39,837 --> 00:28:42,305
- To protect Lorenzo?
- To save yourself!
428
00:28:42,307 --> 00:28:44,407
If you won't let me help you,
you will die.
429
00:28:44,409 --> 00:28:46,342
That's a clean end
to your disgrace, then.
430
00:28:46,344 --> 00:28:51,213
Oh, Christ! You are just
as exasperating as she was!
431
00:28:53,849 --> 00:28:56,818
Is she dead?
432
00:28:56,820 --> 00:29:00,454
It makes no difference.
She's gone.
433
00:29:00,456 --> 00:29:04,492
I remind you of her.
434
00:29:04,494 --> 00:29:07,361
That's why you can't stand
to look at me.
435
00:29:07,363 --> 00:29:09,563
Because she left you.
436
00:29:09,565 --> 00:29:12,300
Your mother was a commoner.
437
00:29:12,302 --> 00:29:14,402
She was a servant girl.
438
00:29:14,404 --> 00:29:17,772
People like her
don't leave people like me.
439
00:29:20,911 --> 00:29:24,147
They don't.
440
00:29:24,149 --> 00:29:26,449
It wouldn't make sense.
441
00:29:31,456 --> 00:29:34,325
Genius was wasted on you.
442
00:30:04,818 --> 00:30:08,620
Do you want something?
443
00:30:08,622 --> 00:30:10,355
Mm.
444
00:30:10,357 --> 00:30:13,557
Da Vinci faces imprisonment,
445
00:30:13,559 --> 00:30:15,692
perhaps death,
446
00:30:15,694 --> 00:30:18,928
and you have the power to
intercede with the magistrate.
447
00:30:22,032 --> 00:30:25,667
Not without
certain sacrifices...
448
00:30:25,669 --> 00:30:28,636
..given the prudery
of my current guests.
449
00:30:31,907 --> 00:30:36,577
His portrait of me
is remarkable.
450
00:30:36,579 --> 00:30:39,713
But it won't remind me of you nearly
so well if it's never finished.
451
00:30:39,715 --> 00:30:44,350
Botticelli or Ghirlandaio
can take over.
452
00:30:44,352 --> 00:30:47,886
Is that why you want
the artista freed?
453
00:30:47,888 --> 00:30:51,690
- To immortalize you?
- No.
454
00:30:51,692 --> 00:30:54,392
To protect us.
455
00:30:54,394 --> 00:30:57,361
Da Vinci's gift for inventions
saved our lives, Lorenzo.
456
00:30:57,363 --> 00:31:01,464
Well, he can invent his way
out of his dilemma.
457
00:31:03,601 --> 00:31:05,868
Good night,
458
00:31:05,870 --> 00:31:07,503
my dear.
459
00:31:16,913 --> 00:31:21,983
Um... does this periscope thing
do what it's supposed to do?
460
00:31:21,985 --> 00:31:26,120
I followed the specifications but
your guess is as good as mine.
461
00:31:26,122 --> 00:31:28,089
What about the other items
on his list?
462
00:31:28,091 --> 00:31:31,359
Um, this paste will hold a man for
a good while before dissolving.
463
00:31:31,361 --> 00:31:34,962
I tested this potion out on Nico.
Knocked him out for nearly 15 minutes.
464
00:31:34,964 --> 00:31:38,899
You might have told me first. I could
have split my head open when I collapsed.
465
00:31:38,901 --> 00:31:41,936
Can anyone tell me - who are
we gluing to what and why?
466
00:31:41,938 --> 00:31:45,139
Look, our friend might have
lost his wits in prison.
467
00:31:45,141 --> 00:31:46,540
It happens.
468
00:31:46,542 --> 00:31:48,676
A prison, a potion,
a periscope,
469
00:31:48,678 --> 00:31:50,378
a pig and a paste pot.
470
00:31:50,380 --> 00:31:53,981
If a madman created a scavenger hunt,
this is what it would look like.
471
00:32:07,530 --> 00:32:12,233
You thought you could
outsmart us all, artista.
472
00:32:12,235 --> 00:32:15,603
But God's wiser than you.
473
00:32:15,605 --> 00:32:17,471
And he's on our side.
474
00:32:42,867 --> 00:32:45,367
- What happens now?
- We wait.
475
00:32:45,369 --> 00:32:47,336
- For what?
- I don't know.
476
00:32:47,338 --> 00:32:48,738
He said it would be obvious.
477
00:32:53,578 --> 00:32:58,048
- What's going on?
- What is that?
478
00:32:58,050 --> 00:33:02,186
I guess that's pretty clear.
479
00:33:02,188 --> 00:33:03,954
Da Vinci!
480
00:33:14,565 --> 00:33:16,733
Stop the explosions.
481
00:33:19,936 --> 00:33:21,871
What?
482
00:33:21,873 --> 00:33:25,775
You think I've organized
a bombardment from my cell?
483
00:33:25,777 --> 00:33:27,977
I never cease
to amaze myself.
484
00:33:45,529 --> 00:33:47,130
Where are they coming from?
485
00:33:47,132 --> 00:33:48,999
You took your time
coming to visit.
486
00:33:49,001 --> 00:33:51,901
You want my company now, with
your little prick on the line!
487
00:33:51,903 --> 00:33:55,939
- We have minutes, Zo.
- Is it true what they say? This place sours your brain?
488
00:33:55,941 --> 00:33:59,276
- Do you want to help me?
- There's a way out through the kitchens.
489
00:33:59,278 --> 00:34:01,474
We're not going together.
You're staying.
490
00:34:01,476 --> 00:34:04,582
- Fuck, no.
- Look...
491
00:34:04,584 --> 00:34:06,184
They can't know I've escaped.
492
00:34:06,186 --> 00:34:08,619
They need to think
I'm still here.
493
00:34:08,621 --> 00:34:11,589
Wear that. It's rat's hair.
494
00:34:11,591 --> 00:34:13,725
Cloak myself in bat shit
and pretend I'm you?
495
00:34:13,727 --> 00:34:17,529
I swear to God I'm not mad.
496
00:34:17,531 --> 00:34:19,531
I'm desperate.
497
00:34:19,533 --> 00:34:22,567
Enraged.
In need of a good meal.
498
00:34:22,569 --> 00:34:24,635
But I am not mad.
499
00:34:27,873 --> 00:34:29,907
You ask a great deal
of your friends.
500
00:34:29,909 --> 00:34:31,570
I know.
501
00:34:34,479 --> 00:34:35,945
Sodomite.
502
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,289
Everybody's still locked in,
sir!
503
00:34:56,769 --> 00:35:00,304
Whatever your friends
planned, it failed.
504
00:35:04,677 --> 00:35:06,843
Fuck you, Leo.
505
00:35:10,816 --> 00:35:13,549
Phosphorus bat shit bombs.
506
00:35:13,551 --> 00:35:18,353
Maybe I am losing my mind.
507
00:35:18,355 --> 00:35:21,356
So the grand plan is
we all burn at the stake?
508
00:35:21,358 --> 00:35:23,491
It's a straightforward
operation.
509
00:35:23,493 --> 00:35:27,396
It's the product of solitude and delirium!
It's totally mad!
510
00:35:27,398 --> 00:35:29,932
Doesn't certain art
require a touch of madness?
511
00:35:29,934 --> 00:35:33,569
I suppose you are aware that this device
can only function in the daylight?
512
00:35:33,571 --> 00:35:36,339
- I've prepared for that.
- Of course you have.
513
00:35:36,341 --> 00:35:39,642
Have you given any thought to what
will happen if it doesn't work?
514
00:35:39,644 --> 00:35:43,546
- None whatsoever.
- I'm both terrified and reassured.
515
00:35:43,548 --> 00:35:47,984
I will be no-one's pawn.
516
00:35:47,986 --> 00:35:50,753
They put me on display
to be ridiculed,
517
00:35:50,755 --> 00:35:54,256
as a tool
to sodomize Lorenzo.
518
00:35:54,258 --> 00:35:56,292
They took away my liberty.
519
00:35:56,294 --> 00:36:01,131
And now they will taste
the same bile that I have!
520
00:36:01,632 --> 00:36:04,001
Besides...
521
00:36:04,003 --> 00:36:09,641
What other plan
gains me what I crave? Hm?
522
00:36:09,643 --> 00:36:12,911
Which is what, Leo?
523
00:36:12,913 --> 00:36:16,649
The magistrate's arse.
524
00:36:16,651 --> 00:36:19,551
Before we head in to the
performance, have I shown you this?
525
00:36:19,553 --> 00:36:22,087
A bench?
526
00:36:22,089 --> 00:36:23,522
We have benches in Aragon.
527
00:36:23,524 --> 00:36:26,791
Yes, yes,
but please notice...
528
00:36:26,793 --> 00:36:31,363
notice the markings
along its edge.
529
00:36:31,365 --> 00:36:35,533
Once a week, I open my study to
anyone who wishes to approach me
530
00:36:35,535 --> 00:36:40,539
and petitioners mark on the bench
to indicate their place in line.
531
00:36:40,541 --> 00:36:43,275
Doesn't that open you
to rabble?
532
00:36:43,277 --> 00:36:45,543
On occasion, yes.
533
00:36:45,545 --> 00:36:48,580
But it also keeps
Florence thriving.
534
00:36:48,582 --> 00:36:51,750
As the old saying has it,
"Pecunia non olet."
535
00:36:51,752 --> 00:36:55,820
Money has no smell.
536
00:36:55,822 --> 00:36:58,956
We Medicis have no historic
name like the Pazzis.
537
00:36:58,958 --> 00:37:02,893
We must rely on our wits.
538
00:37:02,895 --> 00:37:06,763
We innovate. We create
the financial instruments
539
00:37:06,765 --> 00:37:09,499
on which the entire continent
now relies.
540
00:37:09,501 --> 00:37:11,701
The motto of
the house of Medici?
541
00:37:11,703 --> 00:37:16,772
"In God... and profit."
542
00:37:16,774 --> 00:37:21,043
And that profit emerges
from vision.
543
00:37:22,879 --> 00:37:26,549
See, names and lineages
and titles...
544
00:37:26,551 --> 00:37:29,384
..they fade, but currency...
545
00:37:29,386 --> 00:37:33,655
currency stays current.
546
00:37:33,657 --> 00:37:36,792
And that, more than
any other bank in the land,
547
00:37:36,794 --> 00:37:41,130
is the expertise
of the house of Medici.
548
00:37:45,102 --> 00:37:50,639
This florin,
with our seal on the front...
549
00:37:50,641 --> 00:37:53,809
What other currency
is named after a city?
550
00:37:53,811 --> 00:37:56,845
Only Florence is so identified
with financial success
551
00:37:56,847 --> 00:37:59,582
to lay claim to that honor.
552
00:37:59,584 --> 00:38:03,820
There is a new world here...
553
00:38:03,822 --> 00:38:05,588
..in Florence.
554
00:38:11,060 --> 00:38:15,864
I await your decision.
555
00:38:15,866 --> 00:38:20,336
I wonder if his actors tonight
will speechify quite like he does.
556
00:38:21,404 --> 00:38:23,806
Players, attend.
557
00:38:23,808 --> 00:38:28,477
We will be performing the Decameron
this evening, but not all the parts.
558
00:38:28,479 --> 00:38:31,847
I've been counseled to remove
all but the most pious pieces
559
00:38:31,849 --> 00:38:34,183
for the deference
of our regal guests.
560
00:38:34,185 --> 00:38:38,688
But... Florence is not
their home. It's ours.
561
00:38:38,690 --> 00:38:41,758
And they will either love it
or leave.
562
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:46,295
Prepare our production so that only
the bawdy and vulgar stories remain.
563
00:38:47,331 --> 00:38:49,665
Excellency,
what of your brother?
564
00:38:49,667 --> 00:38:52,001
He'll laugh his arse off
with the rest of them.
565
00:38:52,003 --> 00:38:54,636
- And this pig, Signor?
- Stays in.
566
00:38:54,638 --> 00:38:58,274
For what's our city
without a pig or two?
567
00:39:12,225 --> 00:39:14,492
Here.
568
00:39:14,494 --> 00:39:18,931
And... let me just...
569
00:39:18,933 --> 00:39:20,866
I'm taking little Sixtus
for air.
570
00:39:24,971 --> 00:39:28,540
How did it go today?
571
00:39:28,542 --> 00:39:32,877
They have the tacit trait
of all good leaders.
572
00:39:32,879 --> 00:39:35,946
Their faces belie nothing.
573
00:39:39,384 --> 00:39:46,090
I cannot believe we are to be
subjected to such decadence.
574
00:39:46,092 --> 00:39:49,693
Dying regimes flail dramatically
in their death throes.
575
00:39:49,695 --> 00:39:54,799
And trust me when I predict the days
of the Medici regime are numbered.
576
00:39:57,403 --> 00:39:59,704
Buona sera.
577
00:39:59,706 --> 00:40:02,573
Buona sera.
578
00:40:02,575 --> 00:40:06,510
Tonight we give you
a gift of Florence.
579
00:40:06,512 --> 00:40:08,946
Boccaccio's the Decameron.
580
00:40:08,948 --> 00:40:12,984
As a favor to you, I've chosen
not to present all the pieces.
581
00:40:14,287 --> 00:40:17,255
100 stories takes a long time
582
00:40:17,257 --> 00:40:19,257
and I didn't want
the poor souls in the front
583
00:40:19,259 --> 00:40:22,394
to be smoked out by the stench
of Maurizio the shepherd.
584
00:40:24,031 --> 00:40:29,101
Now, this evening, you will witness
the true spirit of Florence.
585
00:40:29,103 --> 00:40:31,137
Her faith and virtues
586
00:40:31,139 --> 00:40:34,707
right along with her freedom
and vulgarities.
587
00:40:34,709 --> 00:40:37,510
Enjoy... the Decameron.
588
00:40:42,182 --> 00:40:46,886
Alas, I've used my last coin
on ribbons for my hair.
589
00:40:48,288 --> 00:40:51,323
The aunt who wanted bread
will surely be angry with me.
590
00:40:51,325 --> 00:40:54,626
Whatever am I to do?
591
00:40:54,628 --> 00:40:56,895
Alas...
592
00:40:56,897 --> 00:41:01,166
I have wandered this road
for many a day and night.
593
00:41:01,168 --> 00:41:05,271
What I would not give
to touch a woman's flesh.
594
00:41:05,273 --> 00:41:06,772
Ooh!
595
00:41:06,774 --> 00:41:10,643
Why, I'd give my legs
underneath me.
596
00:41:10,645 --> 00:41:13,346
Ah.
597
00:41:13,348 --> 00:41:17,617
Only when Saint Arrigo's hand
does touch her bones to mine
598
00:41:17,619 --> 00:41:20,988
will I be healed in time.
599
00:41:20,990 --> 00:41:25,025
Perhaps I could try to lift
with all my might.
600
00:41:25,027 --> 00:41:27,728
And if you could,
I'd surely hold on tight.
601
00:41:27,730 --> 00:41:30,998
Ooh. Argh!
602
00:41:45,079 --> 00:41:46,846
What's this...?
603
00:41:50,885 --> 00:41:55,488
A romantic assignation requires
the appropriate light.
604
00:41:57,258 --> 00:42:03,330
Now, you asked me what crime could
possibly be worse than sodomy or sorcery.
605
00:42:03,332 --> 00:42:05,399
Well, I never turn down
a challenge.
606
00:42:05,401 --> 00:42:07,034
Be still. Be still.
607
00:42:07,036 --> 00:42:11,305
Or my friend here may get
aroused by your movements.
608
00:42:13,176 --> 00:42:15,677
The fixative will last
a good while,
609
00:42:15,679 --> 00:42:19,280
so listen closely.
610
00:42:19,282 --> 00:42:23,751
Your reputation
depends on it.
611
00:42:23,753 --> 00:42:27,355
At the far end of this
arrangement of prisms and lenses
612
00:42:27,357 --> 00:42:29,224
lies a camera obscura.
613
00:42:29,226 --> 00:42:33,162
It's usually employed to delight
crowds with projections of nature.
614
00:42:33,164 --> 00:42:38,201
But unnatural projections
work just as well.
615
00:42:38,203 --> 00:42:40,970
- You're insane.
- Yes.
616
00:42:40,972 --> 00:42:43,773
Now reap the whirlwind.
617
00:43:11,634 --> 00:43:14,035
God grants all wishes...
618
00:43:24,913 --> 00:43:27,181
They cannot see your face.
619
00:43:27,183 --> 00:43:28,850
Yet.
620
00:43:35,959 --> 00:43:39,060
All I need to do is rotate you a
few degrees, open the prism again,
621
00:43:39,062 --> 00:43:43,298
and your notoriety will be
assured for centuries.
622
00:43:43,300 --> 00:43:47,235
- What do you want?
- Your mark on four documents.
623
00:43:47,237 --> 00:43:50,905
One, an irrevocable dismissal
of the charges against me
624
00:43:50,907 --> 00:43:53,241
and indemnity against
future prosecution.
625
00:43:53,243 --> 00:43:58,513
Two, a full confession to your crime of
bestiality in the palace of justice,
626
00:43:58,515 --> 00:44:01,149
to be held in safekeeping
in the event of my death.
627
00:44:01,151 --> 00:44:05,387
Three, a donation of
50 florins to Piero da Vinci
628
00:44:05,389 --> 00:44:08,590
for tolerating
your so-called courtroom.
629
00:44:08,592 --> 00:44:13,395
Four, the release to me of the secret
denunciation which accused me.
630
00:44:13,397 --> 00:44:17,465
You will make your mark on all four
documents before this flare dies
631
00:44:17,467 --> 00:44:21,236
or I will open the prism again and
expose your vice for all to see.
632
00:44:21,238 --> 00:44:24,839
I'll tell them
what you've done!
633
00:44:24,841 --> 00:44:28,576
Your preferred explanation
is that this entire scene
634
00:44:28,578 --> 00:44:31,079
was engineered
in your inner sanctum
635
00:44:31,081 --> 00:44:34,549
by a man that all Florence knows
is in solitary confinement?
636
00:44:34,551 --> 00:44:36,684
The people will never
believe it of me.
637
00:44:36,686 --> 00:44:41,022
The more scandalous the accusation,
the greater their appetite for it.
638
00:44:41,024 --> 00:44:46,895
The gallery was filled
at my trial
639
00:44:46,897 --> 00:44:50,565
It'll be standing room only
for a magistrate's trial.
640
00:44:50,567 --> 00:44:53,001
And should you renege
on our agreement,
641
00:44:53,003 --> 00:44:57,440
then this shroud...
treated with silver nitrate
642
00:44:57,442 --> 00:44:59,509
using the methods
of Albertus Magnus,
643
00:44:59,511 --> 00:45:02,812
bears a lasting record
of your infamy
644
00:45:02,814 --> 00:45:05,949
which I would be happy
to display in the future.
645
00:45:05,951 --> 00:45:08,718
And even if you could
convince people
646
00:45:08,720 --> 00:45:13,356
somehow that this isn't you,
647
00:45:13,358 --> 00:45:15,425
you will spend
the rest of your life
648
00:45:15,427 --> 00:45:18,260
answering the undying rumors.
649
00:45:18,262 --> 00:45:20,830
Cos people believe
what's before their eyes.
650
00:45:20,832 --> 00:45:25,001
And if I can get this image seen
in the skies above Florence,
651
00:45:25,003 --> 00:45:28,471
I can get it seen everywhere.
652
00:45:28,473 --> 00:45:32,575
This is how history
will remember you.
653
00:45:32,577 --> 00:45:35,112
Fucking a pig
654
00:45:35,114 --> 00:45:38,515
in the middle
of your courtroom.
655
00:45:38,517 --> 00:45:41,719
Lies, truth...
656
00:45:41,721 --> 00:45:43,787
It's irrelevant.
657
00:45:43,789 --> 00:45:47,558
The best story wins.
658
00:45:49,728 --> 00:45:52,997
Oh, what confusion
comes with light.
659
00:45:52,999 --> 00:45:56,133
Bring me the darkness
of the night.
660
00:45:56,135 --> 00:45:59,603
So much unseen,
so much to know.
661
00:45:59,605 --> 00:46:04,441
In the dark,
the best surprise does show.
662
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:11,948
A hysterical spectacle,
Your Excellency.
663
00:46:11,950 --> 00:46:14,417
The image in the sky. I've
never seen anything like it.
664
00:46:14,419 --> 00:46:17,853
Theatre is... magic.
665
00:46:17,855 --> 00:46:20,589
That it is!
666
00:46:20,591 --> 00:46:23,792
Well done, everyone.
Well done!
667
00:46:44,347 --> 00:46:46,748
The defendant
stands accused of...
668
00:46:46,750 --> 00:46:50,652
deviancy and heresy.
669
00:46:50,654 --> 00:46:54,390
After due consideration, it
is the ruling of this court
670
00:46:54,392 --> 00:46:57,960
that the prosecution was unable
to prove these crimes true.
671
00:46:57,962 --> 00:47:01,931
I hereby dismiss all charges
against Leonardo da Vinci.
672
00:47:10,241 --> 00:47:13,043
- Well, I'm a genius.
- You still smell like bat shit.
673
00:47:27,992 --> 00:47:30,527
Ah, bravo!
674
00:47:30,529 --> 00:47:32,429
Bravo, Leo.
675
00:47:32,431 --> 00:47:36,666
That's the man
you should be congratulating.
676
00:47:36,668 --> 00:47:38,735
I don't know how
you did that,
677
00:47:38,737 --> 00:47:40,670
but enjoy your freedom
while you may.
678
00:47:40,672 --> 00:47:43,339
For what Rome cannot
accomplish through the courts,
679
00:47:43,341 --> 00:47:45,641
it will by other means.
680
00:47:45,643 --> 00:47:47,308
Stay out of trouble.
681
00:47:47,310 --> 00:47:48,776
Father...
682
00:47:52,447 --> 00:47:54,482
I will.
683
00:47:54,484 --> 00:47:57,350
Your path
has never been easy.
684
00:48:05,258 --> 00:48:08,627
In my land, power derives
from birthright.
685
00:48:13,933 --> 00:48:16,367
I had to marry
my pug-faced cousin
686
00:48:16,369 --> 00:48:20,237
to keep power
in the family.
687
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:22,039
But you and your brother,
688
00:48:22,041 --> 00:48:24,174
with no royal blood at all,
689
00:48:24,176 --> 00:48:27,210
rally an entire city.
690
00:48:27,212 --> 00:48:30,813
Not out of fear, but joy.
691
00:48:33,350 --> 00:48:38,487
You even know some of them
by name.
692
00:48:38,489 --> 00:48:42,090
And they love you for it.
693
00:48:42,092 --> 00:48:46,794
You've left your mark on me.
694
00:48:46,796 --> 00:48:50,763
And I leave my mark
in Florence.
695
00:48:55,768 --> 00:48:58,636
We agree to your terms.
696
00:48:58,638 --> 00:49:03,607
The Medicis will be
the bankers of a new Spain.
697
00:49:09,881 --> 00:49:14,016
To Florence, where you can bugger
whoever, wherever, and get away with it.
698
00:49:14,018 --> 00:49:16,886
To the friends
who make it possible.
699
00:49:16,888 --> 00:49:19,121
Seriously,
I'm lucky to have you.
700
00:49:19,123 --> 00:49:23,190
Remember that when you're washing
the bat shit from my arse crack.
701
00:49:40,838 --> 00:49:45,041
If I'd produced this at the trial, no
amount of sophistry would have saved you.
702
00:49:45,043 --> 00:49:48,544
But I wanted to see you
exposed, not killed.
703
00:49:50,913 --> 00:49:53,315
Why?
704
00:49:53,317 --> 00:49:57,352
What you have with women
isn't love.
705
00:49:57,354 --> 00:49:58,953
You're with them out of fear.
706
00:49:58,955 --> 00:50:03,224
I'm curious by nature.
707
00:50:03,226 --> 00:50:07,795
Desire... It's not as simple
as one sex or the other.
708
00:50:11,734 --> 00:50:15,102
I'm sorry I hurt you.
709
00:50:15,104 --> 00:50:19,073
My experiments
and curiosities, they're...
710
00:50:19,075 --> 00:50:21,910
They're not always without cost
and I should mind that better.
711
00:50:21,912 --> 00:50:26,681
But trust me - trust me...
712
00:50:26,683 --> 00:50:29,417
..no-one defines me.
713
00:50:33,523 --> 00:50:36,191
Not Florence's outdated laws
714
00:50:36,193 --> 00:50:37,626
and certainly...
715
00:50:37,628 --> 00:50:41,396
certainly... not you.
716
00:50:46,669 --> 00:50:51,573
Your infatuation will fade and
you will find others to love.
717
00:50:51,575 --> 00:50:53,609
I have no doubt.
718
00:51:14,930 --> 00:51:18,333
Every kiss sends
a message.
719
00:51:18,335 --> 00:51:22,971
That one... was goodbye.
720
00:51:22,973 --> 00:51:24,373
Goodbye?
721
00:51:48,901 --> 00:51:54,005
Do you know, I've never heard
that tune from anyone except you.
722
00:51:54,007 --> 00:51:58,276
My father used to hum it
to me when I was a child.
723
00:51:58,278 --> 00:52:01,313
Done.
724
00:52:01,315 --> 00:52:03,215
Where is he now?
725
00:52:07,019 --> 00:52:10,622
I cannot say.
726
00:52:10,624 --> 00:52:13,859
Losing a parent
breaks hearts.
727
00:52:13,861 --> 00:52:16,561
My father's always been...
728
00:52:16,563 --> 00:52:19,564
lost to me.
729
00:52:19,566 --> 00:52:22,133
And your mother?
730
00:52:22,135 --> 00:52:27,437
In a land with no name,
across the seas.
731
00:52:27,439 --> 00:52:31,241
If the clues I've gathered
on my quest are true.
732
00:52:31,243 --> 00:52:35,244
Escaping that denunciation,
perhaps I can find her again.
733
00:52:37,247 --> 00:52:39,382
How did you come by this?
734
00:52:40,784 --> 00:52:44,521
These denunciations
are usually so well guarded.
735
00:52:44,523 --> 00:52:48,792
Mm. Well, I have a penchant
for acquiring things...
736
00:52:49,728 --> 00:52:51,796
..that are well guarded.
737
00:52:57,803 --> 00:53:00,439
And what do you plan
on doing with it?
738
00:53:02,508 --> 00:53:04,676
Hm?
739
00:53:04,678 --> 00:53:10,215
I plan on using it to find
and confront my accuser.
740
00:53:10,217 --> 00:53:11,850
Obviously.
741
00:53:11,852 --> 00:53:17,723
Cos whoever wrote those words
almost took my freedom and my life.
742
00:53:17,725 --> 00:53:21,727
And what if your accuser didn't
intend for it to go that far?
743
00:53:21,729 --> 00:53:24,563
What other outcome
could they have intended?
744
00:53:24,565 --> 00:53:26,098
- It was a sodomy charge.
- I know.
745
00:53:26,100 --> 00:53:29,000
I only got out
with nerve and wit.
746
00:53:34,074 --> 00:53:36,141
Hm.
747
00:53:39,947 --> 00:53:42,748
That belonged to someone
very dear to me.
748
00:53:42,750 --> 00:53:45,751
Hm?
749
00:53:45,753 --> 00:53:48,621
Here.
750
00:53:48,623 --> 00:53:53,525
Carry it with you. Keep it
safe in case anything happens.
751
00:53:53,527 --> 00:53:55,561
Why would anything
happen to you?
752
00:53:55,563 --> 00:53:57,829
Because these are
uncertain times.
753
00:53:57,831 --> 00:54:02,500
And shall I flaunt it
near Lorenzo?
754
00:54:02,502 --> 00:54:05,903
That would alleviate
any uncertainty.
755
00:54:05,905 --> 00:54:08,172
You'd be wise not to.
756
00:54:16,447 --> 00:54:19,816
Have you ever been in love...
Signora?
757
00:54:20,751 --> 00:54:22,818
Um...
758
00:54:27,091 --> 00:54:29,992
In my pursuits,
love is a liability.
759
00:54:30,928 --> 00:54:32,995
Mine, too.
760
00:54:34,731 --> 00:54:36,899
Maybe that's
what we share.
761
00:54:36,901 --> 00:54:38,601
What?
762
00:54:38,603 --> 00:54:41,270
Both of us bound to
a life without love.
763
00:55:21,112 --> 00:55:24,314
You seem surprised.
764
00:55:24,316 --> 00:55:28,519
I told you I would return once you had
sipped from the fountain of memory.
765
00:55:33,257 --> 00:55:35,459
But I haven't.
766
00:55:38,029 --> 00:55:40,931
Are you sure?
767
00:55:40,933 --> 00:55:45,502
You did not experience
something while imprisoned?
768
00:55:55,213 --> 00:55:57,147
That was a dream.
769
00:55:57,149 --> 00:55:59,183
It was nothing more.
770
00:55:59,185 --> 00:56:02,152
Surely you,
who remembers all,
771
00:56:02,154 --> 00:56:04,755
know it was no dream.
772
00:56:04,757 --> 00:56:08,392
It was nothing.
773
00:56:08,394 --> 00:56:10,594
It was just...
774
00:56:10,596 --> 00:56:13,064
Just flashes. Incoher...
775
00:56:14,733 --> 00:56:18,302
Close your eyes
and see again.
776
00:56:20,839 --> 00:56:23,575
Return to the cave,
Leonardo.
777
00:56:26,379 --> 00:56:29,014
There were bodies.
I saw bodies.
778
00:56:32,987 --> 00:56:35,088
I s... I saw a man...
779
00:56:39,327 --> 00:56:40,994
..hanging upside down.
780
00:56:41,963 --> 00:56:43,997
I...
781
00:56:45,533 --> 00:56:48,869
I thought... I thought
he was dead, like the rest.
782
00:56:51,706 --> 00:56:53,441
But he was alive.
783
00:56:53,443 --> 00:56:56,610
- Who was it, Leonardo?
- I...
784
00:57:00,615 --> 00:57:02,149
Free me.
785
00:57:02,884 --> 00:57:04,451
Free me!
786
00:57:09,890 --> 00:57:12,125
- It doesn't make sense.
- What did you see?
787
00:57:13,060 --> 00:57:14,561
Free me.
788
00:57:16,631 --> 00:57:18,198
It was me.
789
