Cardinal Bellini.

Cardinal Santoni.

Cardinal Bellini.

Cardinal Bellini.

Cardinal Santoni.

Cardinal Bellini.

- Leo will make a good Pope. - Yeah.

He'll be a good choice.

Your eminences, we have a new Pope.

Do you, most reverend Lord Cardinal,

accept your election as supreme pontiff

which has been canonically carried out?

I accept in the name of the Lord.

I'm afraid the schedule is a little cramped today,

Your Holiness.

You say that to me every day, Francesco.

You find a different way of saying it,

but basically, the message is the same.

Your Holiness, today we have a meeting

with members of the Vatican Bank.

Seven groups for blessings, three private audiences.

A general audience

with members of the United States Navy.

A formal audience with the ambassador from, uh...

- Brazil. - Yes, Brazil.

We have the Italian soccer team.

They're in the finals of the world cup against Brazil.

Is it all right if I bless them,

or would that set off an international incident?

Talks in the middle east

have broken down again,

and a monsoon flood in the Philippines

has left 20,000 homeless.

The Polish government's distributing

two of your speeches you made in Africa.

Re-edited with a Marxist slant, of course.

A French communist according to an investigation

into the finances of Cardinal Medine.

Also, two missionaries were killed in Guatemala.

We are trying to get the details,

but apparently government troops

have destroyed the villages they were working in.

We are preparing a statement and setting up a fund

for the families.

I will write the statement. Myself.

The Italian soccer team, Your Holiness.

In nomine patris, et filii, et spiritus sancti.

- Thank you. - Thank you. Ah.

Mm-hmm.

In nomine patris, et filii, et spiritus sancti.

In nomine patris, et filii, et spiritus sancti.

Hmm.

In nomine patris, et filii, et spiritus sancti.

Help him. Please help my son.

- What's his name? - Paolo.

Paolo, hello, Paolo.

- Holy Father. - Hmm?

The doctors say he will die soon.

Paolo, do you know that God thinks

- about you every day? - You are the Pope.

Tell God to save him. Tell him to send a miracle.

Will he get better now? Did you make a miracle?

- Well... - He's going to be better?

I can't... I can't make a miracle.

I can only pray for one. We'll both pray, hmm?

But you're God's chosen. Why can't you make a miracle?

- Your Holiness... - Francesco, could you think

of something to call me other than "Your Holiness."

My Holiness, everyone else calls you "Your Holiness."

Yes, but they don't address me fifty times a day.

- Very well, Your Holiness. - Thank you.

Our new security system.

Is His Holiness carrying any metal?

Ah, yes.

The Vatican Bank is attracting too few depositors.

We feel the situation might be improved

by offering certain enticements.

"Enticements"?

Like in American banks, Your Holiness.

Small depositors might get a calendar

with your picture.

Medium-level depositors, a special tour of the Vatican.

What do we give the high-level depositors?

A Sainthood?

Well, uh, someone proposed, uh,

locks of your hair in plastic.

Could I hear it again?

- Your Greatness. - No.

It's too... exalted.

- Your Mercifulness? - No.

That's too sentimental.

- Your Superbness? - No.

No, it's got to be more humble.

- Your Humbleness. - That's ridiculous.

He's the Holy Father. What should I call him?

Your Nothing-specialness?

Will you have lunch now, Your Mediocreness?

Uh. Sorry to... to interrupt.

I've read the layworkers' proposal.

I think, it's perfectly reasonable.

Why don't we give them what they want.

Yes, yes, your... your...

- Did you think he heard? - No.

Uh. "Your Mediocreness" is too long.

Any response yet from Vienna?

Bishop Von Sylt is refusing to follow

the guidelines set for mass by Vatican II.

He's calling it a bastard rite, the work of the devil.

Some sisters in America

are threatening to leave the church

unless they can become priests.

And Cardinal Le Claire says

your comments on world hunger were, quote,

"Naive and too ex..."

Sister.

What's wrong, why are you crying?

She cannot hear you, Holy father.

- She can't hear at all? - No, Your Holiness.

She came from her village to see you,

- but got lost in the crowd. - Ah, she can't find her parents.

She says, she hitchhiked all alone.

Her name is Isabella. It's written on her medallion.

Oh.

Oh, Isabella, Isabella.

Tell her not to worry. That... that we'll get her home.

Don't worry. He will get you home.

Isabella... Isabella.

Why... why did you come to Rome?

Why did you come to Rome?

She says, she came to Rome

to tell you that her village has no priest.

You hitchhiked to Rome

- to tell me that your village... - Yes. From Montepetra.

It says on the other side of the medallion.

Montepetra. All right. Isabella, I... I promise

I will find a priest for Montepetra.

Don't worry.

He will find a priest for your village.

She says, "Thank you," Your Eminence.

Isabella. Isabella...

- Oh... - Oh, my child. Oh.

In nomine patris, et filii, et spiritus sancti.

Your Holiness, we are in your presence

to demonstrate our personal devotion

in bringing you the admiration of many countries of the world.

Secretary of the State, Cardinal Morante.

Your Holiness, may I present

the excellence Ambassador Carlos Rodriguez.

I bring greetings from my government,

and respectfully request that your priests cease

their subversive activities within my country.

Otherwise, I cannot be responsible for their safety.

But you are responsible. I believe, ultimately,

we're all responsible for each other. Hmm?

I'll remember you in my prayers.

It's getting chilly. It's cold out here.

Well, it's been a hard year, Leo.

But you survived it well.

Stefano, don't tell me I've survived it well.

Don't tell me that.

I'm completely out of touch with how most people live.

I sometimes wonder if anything I say or do

has any effect outside these walls.

That isn't for you to decide, Leo.

You are loved and respected by millions.

You've done all that you've been asked to do.

When I was a priest,

I could see the results of my work.

Now I'm a Pope... but I'm no longer a priest.

It's not possible to be both.

What would happen if I were to resign?

Don't worry about him, Vilo.

He's gonna be fine. Come and watch the game.

This match for the world cup championship.

Pisano passing off to Sobrato and the offense sets play.

- Here comes Vizetti. - Yeah, all right!

All right! Go! All the way, go!

Go!

- To the left. Go! - That's it! Yes! Go!

And time is running out.

Go! Go!

Yeah. Good!

Go!

Is there anything you can tell us

about more recent popes?

Pope Paul X, who ruled from 1903 to 1914

was the first of the modern popes.

A true ascetic.

He's reputed to have brought several miraculous cures

with his blessings.

And, of the more recent popes,

Pope John XXIII is obviously the most popular.

What a bunch of nonsense.

I mean, what do these guys really do?

Let's face it, the Pope's just a mascot for the church.

They might as well put a bunny costume on him.

Look, isn't this interesting?

The Holy City is actually the smallest state in the world.

There goes Givini on a breakaway.

Come on!

Now, it's off to Luca

who looks inside. A header! He scores!

- Yay! - Yay!

You old man! Where are you going?

And it's almost over.

Seconds remain. The suspense.

Da... Daniello protects the ball.

Italy wins!

We are the best!

- We won! - We won!

We did it!

Wins the world championship of football!

They're swarming out of the...

Yay!

Here's one!

One, two, three.

Italy! Italy! Italy!

Italy! Italy! Italy! Italy!

I've looked everywhere, the libraries, the chapels,

even the bathrooms.

- He's nowhere to be found. - It's terrible.

What do we say to the Curia?

I'm sorry, gentlemen, we've lost the Pope?

How could you lose the Pope?

You saw him last night.

He didn't make confession.

He was troubled.

And he talked about... about resigning.

- Madonna. - I don't believe it.

We have no reason to believe otherwise.

There were no signs of struggle, no threatening telephone calls.

No demands for ransom. He just walked out.

Yes, yes, I do understand. But I don't... Ah...

Anybody ever tell you you look like the Pope?

Sometimes.

Uh, I'm sorry, but

I... I don't have any money at the moment.

Um, I can get it.

People just feed you for nothing.

I... I can come back tomorrow.

Listen, buddy, pay up.

Maybe, I could, uh, could wash the dishes.

- Clean the kitchen. - You can go straight to hell!

Coming in here and taking food from the mouths of honest men.

Vatican City, good evening. Just a moment, please.

Hello.

Your Holiness! Where are you?

Quickly, it's him.

Yes. Anything.

Where's he speaking from? Is he all right?

- When's he coming back? - Quiet.

- Write it down. Yes. - What?

- Gianni's Pizzeria. - Pizzeria?

Yes. Gianni's Pizzeria.

- You sure it's him? - Yes, Your Holiness.

Ten thousand lira.

- Ten thousand. - Ten thousand.

- Yes. Don't worry. - Ten thousand?

We'll take care of it.

- But when are you coming back? - I don't know.

Bye, Stefano.

Your Holiness! Your Holiness!

Did he say when he's coming back?

No.

Thank you.

Just walked out? Has he gone mad?

Pius the IX was completely insane.

- But he was ill, not insane. - I beg your pardon.

He put his foot on the head of a Cardinal

and pulled him up by his ears. If that isn't...

Uh, gentlemen, please.

We'll just have to carry on as if he were here.

How do we explain he has no audiences?

He doesn't address the crowds from the window?

Simply announce that he's tired

from his recent trip to the middle east.

No prayers or visitors allowed.

That's all right for the outside world.

What about the staff here?

One of us will have to stay in his apartment

and eat his meals.

The nuns can be sworn to secrecy.

I'm needed to handle the Curia.

And I the press.

Father...

I'm a priest...

and, uh, I have a crisis.

There's something that I want to do...

but I don't know whether I'm...

I'm simply following my own desire...

which comes from my own weakness...

or...

or if I'm being compelled by God...

to do something that he wants me to do.

And, uh...

I'm looking for... for some guidance.

For a sign.

Thank you.

Good luck.

Sorry. This road is closed.

But I have to get to the village.

You can't. The village is quarantined.

There's an epidemic. People are dying.

Nobody goes in or out.

How are you, my friend?

How are things at the ministry?

- Fine, fine. - Oh, that's good.

- How are you? - Fine. Just fine.

I'll be seeing you.

- Get away! Get away! - I'm so sorry.

- Money. - Money.

- Money. Money! - Please, money!

- I have no money. - Please, money. Money.

I have no money. I'm sorry. Really, I... I have no money.

- Money! - Money!

- I have no money. - Money, money.

Please, money. Money.

Isabella. No. Don't...

don't be frightened.

You don't remember me, huh?

No? All right.

I had a large cross here, no beard.

Hello.

You're beautiful.

I came to see you and your village.

Huh? Is this your house?

Ah, I... I see.

Don't tell anyone about me. Mm-hmm?

It's a se... secret between just us.

Yes? I have nowhere...

to sleep in the village. Do you know some?

Yes. All right.

Not your sister, no? Yes.

Excuse the dust, but...

business isn't too good during an epidemic.

No, it's... it's, uh, it's very nice,

I'm very grateful. Thank you. Thank you, Isabella.

Hmm, how do you know her name?

Uh, she showed me her medallion.

Ah.

And, uh, how did you get into the village?

Oh, I, uh, I... I walked up the hill.

I... I didn't know there was an epidemic.

Oh.

And?

What? Sorry.

I... I would like to know a little bit more about you.

Yes, anything... What... what would you like to know?

Your name.

Ah! I should have it written on my medallion.

Well, what is it?

- It's a cross. - No. I mean your name.

It's Francesco.

- Yes. Francesco... - Biondi.

- Francesco Biondi. - Francesco Biondi.

Do I know you? You look familiar.

I don't think so, no.

Some people say that I look like the Pope.

Well, Isabella seems to trust you.

I'll show you your room, it's right over here.

Thank you.

We won't need you to serve now.

Thank you. And please shut the door.

What's he having today?

- Calf's liver. - Oh, no.

Always has it on Wednesday.

I can't stand calf's liver.

Maybe that's why you are not the Pope.

Hey! Hey! What is this? What is this?

Hey! Hey. Put this down! What! Hey...

Ah! Who is there?

What are you doing?

Huh?

- Who are you? - Who are you?

- I asked you first. Who are you? - Oh, God.

- Are you the police? - No.

Police are looking for me. Hundreds of them.

But they will never catch Giuliano.

- Are these your boys? - Yes.

Mm. Not very many.

- I have more. - That's good. That's good.

- Real gold? - Yes.

If it was real gold,

why don't you care that I took it?

All right, then. Don't take it.

- Maybe he's a priest. - No.

A priest would be telling us we go to hell for this.

If I were you...

I'd leave Montepetra.

It's not such a good place for strangers.

Giuliano...

the cross is worth money. Don't squander it. Keep it.

One day you may need it for something important.

Hmm?

Coffee.

Ciolino, hey,

that's the guy who snuck on the fruit truck.

Need some help?

You know about donkeys?

I just found out about the epidemic.

Oh?

Yes, um, from one of the dead, as a matter of fact.

There was a real one here. Three years ago.

The health ministry came in and quarantined the town.

And then they brought in food.

The men liked it so much, they decided to do it again.

How do they get the marks on their faces?

You rub an herb on your face. It makes a nice welt.

You ought to be leaving then.

No. I, um, I thought

I would try to find some work in the village.

No work in Montepetra. The men go over to Rigio.

Ones who aren't pretending to be sick anyway.

Yes, I thought I would go with them in the morning.

- You won't like it. - Maybe not.

I'll have Isabella wake you in the morning

- when it's time to go. - Thank you.

Yeah.

Go. Go.

- Hello. - Hello, Stefano.

Your Holiness. Where are you?

I'm... I'm in a small village in the South.

- He's in the south. - Whereabouts?

Are you all right?

Yes, yes, I'm... I'm fine.

I'm just a little tired from working.

Work? You got a job?

Well, it's not... it's not exactly a job.

Um, I... I sort rags with the villagers.

- He's sorting rags. - Rags?

Your Holiness, with all due respect.

Can't these people sort their own rags?

Well, yes, yes, they could, but, uh...

We can easily send you money if...

No, no, no, Stefano. That won't be necessary.

- Really. - Ask him when he's coming back.

Your Holiness, when are you coming back?

No. I, well, I don't know When... when I'm coming back.

I... I think, uh, I think I'm supposed

to do something here.

But we've announced

that you are on a two-week retreat.

What can we do if you're not back in time?

Well, you'll think of something.

I... I, uh, have complete confidence in you.

- Yes, Your Holiness. - Bye-bye, Stefano.

Good-bye, Your Holiness.

- What? - What is it?

Well, he has complete confidence in us.

That doesn't help, does it?

Just pray.

Well...

here I am in Montepetra.

I can see why you wanted somebody to come.

I feel rather inadequate, to tell the truth,

because there is rather a lot to do.

I'm not sure where to begin. In fact...

I think, really, I could do with some help.

Good morning.

Hello.

It's a wonderful view.

You're Pope Leo, huh?

You're Pope Leo, yes.

Excuse the sheep. They see so few popes.

They fired you or... or what?

I never thought of that.

No. No, they... they didn't fire me.

Maybe God did.

I can put your mind to rest with that.

There's no such person.

What happened to the aqueduct?

Earthquake. Half the village went with it.

Why was it never rebuilt?

For that you need the money...

- and the will. - Hmm.

The money was taken by the priests.

And the will by...

By who?

Darwin.

Yeah.

Hey!

I could do with your help.

Why should I break my back for nothing

when I can take it easy and still get nothing?

Why do you suppose it will come to nothing?

Oh, don't just laugh. Give me an answer.

Mm... well...

I don't have an interest in your grand designs.

Where exactly do your interests lie?

Your profession doesn't allow you to understand.

- My profession? - Mm-hmm.

What is my profession? Tell me. What is my profession?

Your profession... You're the Pope.

Mm.

Yes, and of course you have exactly your idea

of what the Pope is,

because it's impossible for you to realize

that a Pope can be anything.

He can even be a... Like a tramp who comes to a deserted village

to help some neglected people.

Yes. That's exactly what I expect the Pope to be.

In whatever way,

the practice is the same, hmm?

To interfere and to rule.

May I talk to you for a second?

Could I... could I just talk to you for a second?

I was, um... I was looking at the aqueduct.

Uh, I think it could be rebuilt.

I think you could get some water back into the hills.

Better than to go into Rigio to work in the dump.

Yes, but how?

Well, you know there's, uh,

there's a lot of timber down there

just lying around. Um, the trough is broken.

There are holes you know. There is wood in the village

and I think, we have find enough to repair the trough.

- Do you understand? - Well, we...

we can find a way to turn the wheel.

Sure, very good idea. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much. Good idea.

Yeah.

Hey, get me out of here!

What are you doing in the net?

How do you get in there?

Come on. Get out.

- Come on. - Uh-oh.

Come on. We better go.

I already sold your stinking cross.

It wasn't even real gold.

The guy that sold it to you took you for a ride.

I didn't come about the cross.

You do anything to me, my men will hunt you down

and kill you like a dog.

It's a terrifying prospect.

No, not those guys. Those guys are worthless.

Some other guys.

You told me about the other guys.

I'll make a deal with you. If you call off the other guys,

I'll let you work with me for one whole week.

- What kind of a deal is that? - Terrible. It's a terrible deal.

No, I... For you I admit, it's... it's not good.

Look, you have all these guys. I have nobody at all.

So, I thought probably you wouldn't mind

giving me a hand.

And that thing you're going to build?

Do you know the whole village is laughing at you.

It's going to be an irrigation system.

You get to mix cement, you could do some digging...

I don't do that kind of stuff.

Oh, but I would teach you. I think you could be good at it.

You can execute me right here. I'm not gonna do no digging.

But, Giuliano, you owe me a favor.

What favor?

I didn't turn you in for taking the cross.

What makes you think I'm going to show up?

- I'll take your word for it. - I didn't give you my word.

I'll take it anyway. I'll see you in the morning.

You can keep the cross, Giuliano.

I give it to you with pleasure. Bring the pulleys.

Get me out of here!

And on the

International scene,

six weeks prior to the Pope's widely anticipated

Easter address.

Rumors continue to circulate in Rome.

Concerning the condition of Pope Leo XIV.

Although the Vatican insists

he is suffering only a minor indisposition,

the Pope's failure to appear in public for five days

has given rise to speculation that he is seriously ill.

Pressure is mounting for more complete disclosure

by the Vatican medical staff.

Ah, oh, ah, you brought the stuff.

Wonderful, wonderful.

- Where's Giuliano? - He sent us.

He said two were better than one.

Well, that wasn't the agreement.

- Okay, I'll go tell him. - Uh-uh-uh.

After you work, huh?

Ciolino, look. It's Giuliano's guys.

Hey, this mean trouble.

Excuse me. I need to clean the room.

Oh, do you want me to leave?

That's all right. May I come in?

- Oh, yes. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- I can't do it. - Yes, you can.

That bald guy right there. Okay, go on.

I'm not going to school.

- Don't do this. - I'm not going to go...

- Let's go. - No, no.

- I'm not going to go... - I told your mother

- you're going to school. - I'm not going to go to school.

- No. - Let's go.

- No. - Don't make me get mad.

- No, I'm not going to. - I'll take that.

I'm going to do it, right here, in front of everybody.

- Come here. Come here. - Don't do it.

- Come here. - Don't do it.

I said come here.

- Come here. - Get away.

- Come here. - Get out of the way.

Get away!

Come here. You, you're going to school.

Hey, my wallet!

Stop, thief! Hey!

- Stop! - Where's the wallet?

- Where's the wallet? - There was no money

in the wallet.

Stop it! Leave him alone!

There was no money!

- Don't lie! - There's no money!

Don't lie! Where's the money?

Stop hitting me!

Where's the money? Where's the money?

No money in the wallet!

Leave him alone.

Where's the wallet?

- Where's the wallet? - There was no...

I need it.

No!

No.

You've caused nothing but problems.

No, please!

Leave him alone! Stop! Stop it!

Get up!

- Get up! - No!

No! Please, don't! No more!

Get out.

- You all right? - Yes, I think so.

Are you all right? Huh?

How can I possibly be all right?

He punched me five times,

he kicked me seven times.

- I'm in a very bad... - I'm not joking.

Are you all right?

Let me see.

- No, it's not really, uh... - It is.

Why do you stay in Montepetra?

- This is my home. - Hmm.

Did you ever live anywhere else?

Yes.

- Where? - Naples.

I went there after Vittorio died.

Isabella was three years old, and I was alone.

And I saw a notice in the paper

about jobs for girls in the canning factory.

So, this was a chance to change my life, eh?

So, I took Isabella, and I went there,

but, uh, there were no jobs.

Hundreds of girls just like me

- but no jobs. - Hmm.

They often do that to keep the wages down.

I see.

I'm sorry to be boring you with all this.

No, no, no. You're not boring me.

What happened?

Nothing.

I'm sorry. I... I shouldn't pry.

No, I mean, I just...

I didn't mean that. I'm sorry.

All right, it's all right.

- What happened? - Well, we didn't have money

to eat or to come home, so...

Did you have somewhere to live?

Well, I found a place, yes.

There was this man who came to us...

Who said he had a place, but...

Sorry.

What?

Well...

there was nothing else.

The aqueduct's burning!

- Oh, look. - Oh, look.

Oh, my God.

What are we going to do?

Stay back. Stay back.

Can we stop it?

What happened?

Some men from Ciolino.

Did you see them?

Yes.

You tried to stop them?

What could I do?

Besides, it's none of my business.

It's going to be your business

if your house burns down!

Why would they do this?

This is Ciolino's village.

He doesn't want you here.

Well, I'll build it again.

Like they'll come, and burn it again.

So, I'll build it again.

And when they come back, I'll be here,

I'll be waiting for them.

I'm sorry. I woke you.

Ah, Lucia.

I just wanted to be close to you.

Oh, Lucia.

Lucia.

I...

- I'm in love. - No.

- No, I... - No.

No, but I have to... to explain to you

that I want you to be here with me.

Then I'll be here with you.

- I wanted to be here with you. - But...

But for a reason that...

That you'll understand later.

It's impossible.

Don't.

It's all right.

But it's... it's very important that...

that you understand that I want you to be here.

It would have been very awkward anyway.

Hmm, Lucia.

Don't be sorry.

I'll say good night now.

I'll see you in the morning.

May God bless you, Lucia.

I, uh, I thought that maybe you could use some supplies

if you're going to be staying down at the aqueduct.

Oh.

So, I put them on the...

- To prepare. - That's very kind of you.

Thank you. That's, uh, that's a lot of stuff.

- I... I didn't realize, I... - I would like to help you,

But if that would embarrass you, of course, I won't.

Why... why should I feel embarrassed?

Well, the men here, they don't like to work

with women.

Oh. No, well,

for me, it would be a pleasure.

Good.

Good morning.

We come to work with you.

Didn't know already.

Hey! Tonino, look who's coming.

- How you doing? - Eh. Hello.

I want you to meet Bianca.

- How do you do, Bianca? - Hello.

So, Giuliano, where have you been?

Boy, I've been getting you some boys.

It's pitiful for a man like you

working with a bunch of little girls.

You want everybody laughing at you?

I think they're already laughing at me.

You had enough laughing.

No. It doesn't matter.

So, where did you get all these boys?

Eh, I got Franco his first woman,

I got Fabio out of trouble, and I beat up a guy for Stefan.

I know... I'm... I'm beginning to understand.

- How are these guys doing? - They're, uh,

they're fine. They're, uh, they're working very hard.

They give you any trouble, you let me know.

Oh.

Thank you, Giuliano,

for everything that you're doing.

No, it's okay.

- Hold this for a moment, please. - Oh, sure, yeah.

Uh. Why don't you get yourself a cup of coffee?

We have some business to talk about.

Okay.

Very good. All right, Giuliano. Now, see what we're doing?

We're putting up these posts

because we have to reconstruct all of this.

- Hello. - Hello, Stefano.

Your Holiness.

Your Holiness,

are you on your way back?

No, no, no, not yet, um,

I called to tell you that... that, uh,

I could be here for some time yet.

Longer than two weeks?

Stefano, listen carefully.

I'm helping the village

to rebuild the irrigation system.

Do you know how to do such a thing?

No, Stefan, I don't as a matter of fact

but I'm learning.

We can send everything they need.

Engineers, materials, we can build it for them.

These are defeated people. Hmm.

It would fall into disuse in a couple of weeks.

They have to do it themselves.

But this could take months.

Well... anyway, Stefano, it, uh,

it may be some time yet.

Holiness, Cardinals are restless,

And the press is trying to bribe the staff

for information.

Stefano, I will be back sometime.

- Good-bye. - Hmm.

Good-bye, Holiness.

So, why do you work for this guy?

I lost a bet with him.

So, he's not even from here.

Why do you have to be honest with him?

I'm an honorable man.

Don't get wise with me, you little shit.

You were nothing when I found you.

You go on working or this guy,

I'm going to cut you off, you understand?

No more pretty girls, no more fancy suits.

Go on, work for slave labor. See what you get.

At least I work.

You're going to starve to death, you bastard.

Who's there?

- Is the bombardment over? - What are you doing here?

I just came to say hello.

So, hello.

Come in. Sit down.

Thank you.

Where did you get the fireworks?

I bought 'em.

Did I say you didn't?

I have all different kinds.

Mandarin ducks, bantam phantoms.

Bantam phantoms.

Yeah, and it comes festival time,

- I sell them to all the towns. - Yeah.

But that's nothing. How's this?

Wonderful.

I'm the only one in Montepetra with a TV.

Ah, you have electricity here.

Nope.

It must be rather difficult to watch.

- Yeah, sometimes. - Sometimes.

It's a confessional from the church?

Yeah.

Who is the... the man in the picture?

Somebody.

Hmm.

What happened to your mother and father?

Something. I don't know.

Hmm.

I didn't ever know my mother and father.

I was... I was brought up in an orphanage, you know.

The nuns found me and they took me in. I...

They said the biggest mistake they ever made

was to take me in.

I was in one of those places, too.

My father, he couldn't take care of me.

He always doing a lot of traveling,

so he dropped me off there.

What happened to your mother?

She died when I was born.

Ah.

Some of us, you know, are... are sleeping out

by the... by the water wheel.

And...

we could do with some new conversation out there.

Why... why don't you come and stay there

for a few nights?

Yeah, maybe.

Whatever you think.

See how well your boys are doing?

When my boys do something, they do it good.

Let me pass. Let me pass.

Look. Look, look. Giuliano.

Hey, guys, look who's here.

Did you bring your matches?

This thing is going to work?

I know it's gonna work.

Good.

Just put it down tight. Hold tight, okay?

All right.

Back up a little further.

All right.

Don't worry, don't worry.

Are you sure about this?

Yeah. Put it down.

Ciolino. Ciolino.

Shut up, stupid. You'll wake them.

They're here! They tripped the wire!

Everybody up. Come on. Come on.

Get out!

I repeat, his condition is not serious.

And there is absolutely no cause for alarm.

I'll continue to make His Holiness' announcements

until such time as he's recovered

from his influenza. Thank you.

And when you think that might be?

I can't say.

First he was indisposed, then he had a cold.

Now, it's influenza. It's getting worse.

As I already told you,

His Holiness is restricted to bed for the time being.

Thank you.

Is it true that heart specialists

are being flown in from the United States?

Hey, everybody!

They took down the roadblock! They took down the roadblock!

No more free food!

It's over.

What are you talking about?

They took down the roadblock.

Somebody talked.

What do you want?

You stay out of this.

You've caused enough problems already.

All of you, get down!

Why should they get down?

Because we're going to burn it.

No.

No, you're not going to burn something which can be

of benefit to these people,

and have them go back to garbage dump.

Tell the women to get down.

Come on, get down!

Come down.

They are not going to come down.

Are you going to stop us?

Yes.

Get back!

Come on! Back!

- Hey! - Where are you going?

No!

Giuliano! No, don't do it!

Come back here!

No, don't do it.

Giuliano!

Oh, my God!

Get help!

Get help.

I know...

I know that I should pray for the whole world.

But...

I never had...

to face before...

the death of someone that I loved.

It is very hard.

It's very hard.

What about Stefan VII?

He ordered the body of his predecessor Formosus

to be exhumed, clad in papal robes,

and put on trial.

They found him guilty.

In history, there's always someone

who got there first.

Whatever one does, it's seldom the worst of its kind.

So?

The point I'm trying to make is,

compared with these other people,

our Pope Leo is a very sane man.

I think he'll come back.

Perhaps.

But I have things to do.

See you later, Colin.

- Ghezzi. - Huh?

You forgot to kneel.

Secretary of State, Cardinal Morante. Please open.

Rest well, Holiness.

I'll see to it, you won't be disturbed.

We must see His Holiness.

He cannot be disturbed.

This thing cannot wait.

But he's just fallen asleep.

Well then, when he wakes up, call us.

When do you think it will be?

It could be quite a while.

Hello.

Wonderful view.

What are you doing here?

Examining your terrible workmanship.

- I missed you. - Ha! Uh...

You know, I've been watching you build this water trestle...

and wondering if you ever considered

how you were going to turn the water wheel?

Well, yes, as a matter of fact, I have, um...

I have considered that. Yes.

Huh.

But, you know, I have... I have faith

that something will turn up.

Leonardo Da Vinci

was condemned by the church, wasn't he?

- Yes. - Hmm.

Well...

he...

he's the one who knows how to turn your water wheel.

Oh, I threw away my specs.

Ah!

I see. It's wonderful.

- Uh-huh. - It's wonderful.

Who are you, Abalardi?

I was fired.

From the church?

By God.

You're a priest.

Yes.

Huh.

Were you fired or did you resign?

Why?

I felt betrayed by God.

And I saw you approach the same hell.

But you didn't fall in.

Of course,

you are the Pope.

For popes, the flames are hotter.

Thank you.

All of this...

is because you came to see me.

I love you.

The moment has arrived.

There's still a lot to do.

- Hmm? - Hm?

Mm-hmm.

You'll do it.

Huh?

- Huh. - Uh.

We've had quite enough, Monsignor Ghezzi.

We demand to see His Holiness,

- if he's in here. - Yes, but wait.

I don't think you should be in there.

As the senior member of the staff,

I order you to stand aside.

Cardinal Morante, how are you?

I'm sorry, Your Holiness.

I... I didn't know you were here.

Where else would I be?

How are you?

Thank you. I am much better.

Very sorry.

Would you like some coffee or...

No, no, thank you.

But thank you.

- Thank you. - Thank you for calling in.

Thank you.

Viva il papa!

- Viva il papa! Viva il papa! - Viva il papa! Viva il papa!

- Viva il papa! Viva il papa! - Viva il papa! Viva il papa!

- Viva il papa! Viva il papa! - Viva il papa! Viva il papa!

- Viva il papa! Viva il papa! - Viva il papa! Viva il papa!

Children of God...

I welcome you here on this beautiful Easter Sunday.

I'm more happy than I can express

that I can spend it with you.

I must thank all of you who have written letters

of sympathy

and support...

during my illness...

but we are none of us, supposed to tell lies.

Especially those of us who wear this hat.

So, I must ask your forgiveness...

and tell you that...

I was not confined to bed with influenza...

as was generally supposed.

Instead...

I was in the middle

of an extraordinary adventure.

I tell you this because...

it's a good story.

There was once a man

known to all of you as Pope Leo XIV.

Like a king who lived in a large castle

with thick walls,

he became increasingly depressed and alone.

Unable to see, far less to know the people

who looked to him for guidance.
