August 1494.

The Peace of the Assumption.

Did Mary die before she went to heaven?

You will replace the bishop as papal
treasurer. Me?

Holy Father, I'm an expert in church
dogma, not a bookkeeper.

Must you die to experience bliss?

We'll finish playing when I marry
Virginia Orsini.

Can heaven exist on earth?

I will march into Milan and capture the
ducal throne for you. And so you shall.

General Borgia. Or I must have an inert
be opposite.

Lucrezia, I'm so grateful that you have
forgiven me for sleeping with the

prince. Hello, husband.

I knew it was you.

Do not put more lies onto your list of
sins.

We present the next governor of Spoleto,
Lucrezia Borgia.

War?

I was not aware that Spoleto is at war.

Cortez refers to the neighboring town of
Terni.

Oh, gentle souls, follow me now to a
place where men are men and

cocks are cocks.

Welcome, son of God.

Or so he calls himself in all his
godlessness.

I come to take my bride.

As is ordered by my father.

Ordered by God.

I am handsome and powerful.

Kiss me and you will soon.

You once said that I would have plays
written about me.

But you did not say what would happen to
those who performed such plays.

God, have mercy on a man who shot the
arrow into my ass.

Let us wait to dispense our wrath until
we know the facts. Wait.

It is easy to wait when one can sit.

The people of Beroide, Camporopola, and
San Brizio stand ready to join Spoleto's

attack on Terni. Terni's attempt on the
life of Prince Goffredo is an insult to

your honor.

The entire population of Terni cannot be
blamed for one man's error.

Yet they will come to the walls of Porta
Monterone, seeking control of our minds,

our roads, our prosperity.

We must attack first!

First, we will learn the truth.

That is my decision.

She's a woman.

And a woman.

But she's our appointed leader.

So we must obey.

I've seen her. Two leaders to be
despised.

There is someone for you to meet.

Someone who may bring you peace.

We were in the alley behind here.

She was facing out, eyes over my
shoulder. I viewed nothing as I was

otherwise occupied.

Watch your manners.

I am from Terni. If they find out that I
named the guilty men... Terni is crowded

with low-witted superstitious fools.
What do you call superstition? We call

faith. Do you know who shot the arrow?

Yes.

The archer is... There.

Champion, Sidonius Grimani. He and his
family are the richest, stupidest,

most superstitious... Enough.

How can you be certain that Grimani
committed this crime?

Because... he is my brother.

Thank you, God.

Lord our God.

Majesty, I have retrained your troops,
and I'm ready to cross the Alps to

conquer Milan.

Yet I wait and wait and wait for your
signal.

Oh, please, Cesare, why such haste?

A bit more patient.

Without the love of Calotta d'Aragona,
all that is left for me in France is a

bitter pear.

I can taste it in my throat.

It comes up, it's in my mouth all the
day.

If I am to be a man with bile, I should
be a man at war.

You think me arbitrary, but listen.

Duke Ludovico's sister is married to
Emperor Maximilian, who will send German

troops to defend Milan unless... Unless
you can sign a treaty with Venice to

block the German advance.

Exactly.

I must await news from the dogs. We will
pummel the sports of family.

These dogs... What are they for?

To protect you, dear friend.

Did he threaten you?

George, it is not Cesare's words that
frighten me, but his silences. The habit

caused by his dogs in the theatre was
hardly silent.

Cesare is pure pride.

Nothing is more dangerous than a proud
man.

Dangerous or not, I need him content.

I cannot offend the Pope, at least not
until I have married Anne.

But Venice procrastinates.

Then, in the meanwhile, give him
something to distract him.

What could I possibly give him?

I have already granted him a duchy.

How about a bride?

Or who?

Or present me with choices.

Those dogs are the hounds of hell.

I want some.

The Venetian ambassador awaits you in
the bathroom.

Ambassador Giustiniani, thank you for
seeing me.

A pleasure as always, Your Grace.

I am no diplomat, so I will come
directly to my purpose.

If the Doge acquiesces and supports
France's attack on Milan, I will give

Venice, Cremona, and Chiara D'Arte. You
will give?

I was unaware those cities are in your
possession.

They are not now, but they will be.

I see.

You hesitate?

Yes. Cremona and Chiara Dalla will
delight the Doge.

Yes. But you wonder, what does Cesare
Borgia grant me?

Yes.

Why, the satisfaction of serving the
most serene Republic of Venice and her

noble citizens.

Doing your job.

Milan will proffer a more tangible
proposal.

So you refuse to convey my words to the
dog?

Regrettably.

Do you like dogs, Justin?

Dogs?

No, not even remotely.

Oh, too bad.

My love!

What is this I hear?

You will travel to Terni?

I will not permit you to go.

I go not as your wife, but as governor
of Spoleto.

Then I, 1410, will lead Spoleto's finest
soldiers and protect you.

Your courage is admirable, Alfonso.

But I need a warm spirit.

A champion of peace, Bishop Benbow.

Do the figures.

Do them again.

I have.

Over and over. The papal treasury is
practically bare.

And the income from the beard tax?

That's why we are not.

What else can we do to fill these empty
chests?

Double the tax on salt.

Wine. Yes.

Excellent thought.

Have you no ideas on how to raise funds,
Signor Treasurer?

You have proven yourself an idiot.

How can you in good conscience accept
your salary while our papal finances are

in such disarray?

He is conjuring up fights with me
because you gallivant with an Orsini.

I have done nothing with Virginia.

Except use him to taunt the Pope.

I do not taunt.

Virginia treats me kindly.

And not only would Rodrigo deprive me of
a husband, but he would deprive me of

kindness as well.

Do you know who survived untouched in
the ancient epic tales?

Who? Some righteous sibling?

The people not in the story.

If our lazy are to survive, we must go
unnoticed.

God's torment those they see.

Especially those they fuck.

I have decided to name you a knight in
the order of San Michel.

With the highest honor a king of
Florence can bestow.

You are already Duke of Valentinois.

Now also Count of Biwa, Lord Isidore,
and the

Order of Saint-Michel.

And it is written, Cesare Borgia, you
are officially

reborn as a son of France.

We need a ceremony, do we not? So, uh...
Another title is meaningless if not

earned.

And what of a wife?

Was Phoebe earned?

A wife?

My cousin.

Not a Carlotta, but a Charlotte.

Charlotte d'Aubray.

Daughter of the Duke of Grian, sister of
Navarre's King Juan, half French, half

Spanish.

Perfect for you.

whose skin never touched.

Let us get both of our marriages out of
the way.

Then we will teach Italy what it means
to submit.

What Majesty, there is the German
threat?

Ambassador Giuttiniani.

Gniani, did you have an accident?

A nasty tumble.

After further consideration, I will
strongly encourage the Doge to

support your advance against Milan.

Venice will stop the Germans.

Wonderful. Is that not wonderful?

Truly. When can we depart?

As soon as all the documents have been
signed and the wedding wine has been

drunk. Oh, you?

will love my cousin Charlotte.

Circumstances force us to raise the
taxes on all of Rome's vineyards.

Yes, but my vineyard will barely turn a
profit as is.

Vincenzo, show the cardinal the year's
expenses to date.

Repairs on the cistern for irrigation.

Rise in the price of horse fodder.

Our harvest is less than expected.

Your levy would leave me destitute. Soon
there will be no vineyard to track.

Let me study the tabulation, see if an
exemption is possible.

Thank you.

I will send you some wine to aid in your
study.

Alessandro, wait.

You seem troubled.

Damn, I'm losing the ability to hide my
true feelings. A gift that is necessary

to survive in the Vatican.

Politics is another name for despair.

Yes, but compounded with that are my own
personal concerns.

I, like you, face destitution.

But you're a papal treasurer.

Well, Holy Father allows me no salary.

And, as you know, I'm to have another
baby.

How I will support my children, my sweet
Sylvia, my mother.

Do as I have done all these years.

Beg sometimes,

borrow sometimes, and sometimes steal.

You scared the children.

It is my way these days. They can sense
my bad temper.

Does your knight always spare his foe?

He's a Christian.

And a puppet.

Is your lady around?

Charlotte Albrecht?

Yes.

She's very near.

The king sent me to meet her.

We all obey the king.

What?

This?

The collar of San Michel?

Too ostentatious?

Yes.

Your lady.

Is she beautiful?

Some say.

No.

Here is a secret.

She looks more innocent than she is.

You remind me of my sister.

And you remind me of no one else.

Your Grace, the King summons you.

Will you all obey the King?

Sidonius Grimani must come to Spoleto,
admit his guilt, ask to be forgiven.

That is the only way we can avoid the
war.

A war which will bankrupt both of our
cities and decimate a generation of

young men.

Perhaps I know why Sidonius Grimani drew
his bow.

I fear he fired the arrow at your
brother.

Because Grimani thought at the archery
competition that he was cheated.

How can one cheat at archery?

Since my appointment, I have learned.

that the people of Terni always feel
cheated by the people of Spoleto.

The only way my city can explain our
misery is to lay it upon yours.

What can we do?

Good evening.

You move around Rome disguised like a
thief?

Sit.

I asked to see you here where I caused
such devastation.

I did not recall if I ever properly
thanked you for taking care of me when

my brain was twisted by vitriol.

Gareth gave me 2,000 ducats.

What do you want now?

Advice. Certainly.

About Julia.

He demands her husband.

Then give her one.

Or two.

Or three.

As you did for me.

Those were different times. Or different
feelings.

If not, sir, how do I keep Julia from
another man's back?

That depends on what you're willing to
risk.

Everything.

Your papacy?

Yes.

You must remind Julia that even a
husband dies.

That marriage is not security.

You must expose the vulnerability of
your rival.

There is a poison.

No. No, no. We do not feel.

Three of my girls would say otherwise if
they were still able to speak.

That was a moment when I lost control.

Or finally gained control, which is what
you need to do at this moment.

Still poison?

A poison which does not cause death, but
makes one violently ill.

So you're suggesting that we invite
Virginia Orsini to the apostolic palace

and feed him poison?

No, nothing that obvious.

You gain an invitation to dine at the
Palazzo Orsini.

You find a way to influence a member of
their household.

No, no.

You're no longer able to keep hold of
Julia with jewels and posies.

A woman in love needs to see her man
act, even to the extreme.

And not to change the subject.

I would like to be exempt from the wine
tariffs.

We see our expectations for you were too
high.

I am a man of the old ways.

A man of the land.

My villa.

My orchards.

These are what give me comfort.

I do not welcome...

The new ways of the new court.

If you wish to ask my daughter a
question, you must go through

me.

Well, may I greet her, at least?

Charlotte?

Meet Cesare Borgia.

Duke of Valentinois.

And Count of Diwa, Lord of Isudon.

Mademoiselle, it is a great pleasure.

I will handle the negotiations.

You know I already love you.

Love is mercurial.

We will see.

What?

What did you say?

Your Grace must have heard the thought
inside my head.

A woman such as this deserves a man's
full devotion.

Death of a man?

Such as Duke Il Valentino. This is a
woman's full devotion.

Valentinois.

Duke of Valentinois.

I am sorry.

I've heard one of your bravi calling him
Il Valentino.

Yes, well, the sun is setting.

The heat will dissipate.

Let us walk the ground now that we can.

And I...

Behind you.

A garden of green where clover abounds.

And flies.

Explain to me.

Why do we not attack?

You went to Terni under the banner of
peace. Now is when they would least

expect an assault.

Surprise and conquer.

We strive instead for communitas.

The recovery of a shared humanity.

Terni and Spoleto have been at odds for
centuries.

You have the moral high ground as well
as superior troops.

And your subjects want war. They whisper
that you do not fight because you're a

woman.

In Venice, I saw what cannonballs can
do.

Destruction knows no gender. Yet Venice
is now safe.

Destroy tyranny and end the conflict
forever.

Cousin, I am curious as to your opinion.

Why would you want my opinion?

Because, like the people of Terni, you
mix your faith in God with pagan

superstitions. Do you see a solution
other than sorts?

Well, I'm... I have been reading the
local history.

I did not know you could read.

I want to be silent. You have had your
turn.

300 years or so ago...

Frederick Barbarossa sent his armies
into Terni, which had expected Spoleto

to fight by its side.

But Spoleto was in league with
Barbarossa.

Terni went down, Spoleto went up.

How does this help us?

Do you not see?

Spoleto must return the good fortune
which Terni believes was stolen from

them through deceit.

Alfonso, get me a plain wooden box.

A box? What for?

And catch me a rabbit.

Mmm.

Delicious fish.

The spices, the moors are not good for
much else.

And you?

Are you not hungry?

I do not eat much on nights as hot as
these.

Besides, the bones get caught in my
throat.

Virginia, we wish to discuss your, uh...

Intentions concerning Julia.

How quaint.

I am not certain this is a proper
conversation for the table. She has been

here, has she not?

For a papal table.

You ask where she has been, yet track
her every breath.

Since her father died, we have been like
a father to the girl.

Come now, let us be honest.

Julia is no girl.

And you have been something.

Quite different than a father. And you
have been a liar and a traitor. I have

repented my participation in the
rebellion against you. We are speaking

of your current treachery.

We have imprisoned you once. We can do
so again. Imprison me for courting

Julia?

You'll be the laughing stock of Europe.
The supreme pontiff as lovesick

schoolboy.

Even Louis of France will think you a
pantaloon.

The bones.

Yeah, the bones.

They can be very dangerous.

I've tried to borrow money from bankers,
but to no avail.

I've begged from friends.

We must sell Capodimonte.

Mama's heart will shatter.

She will not be able to withstand the
humiliation.

Julia!

Julia!

Virginia, what are you doing here?

Virginia?

I am poisoned.

Did you or did you not try to poison the
Orsini brothers?

Why will you not answer me?

Because I am mortified that you would
ask me such a question.

The Cardinal is in a dire condition, and
there is not much left inside poor

Virginio but his spit.

Are you really sick?

Or did you eat just enough to get sick?
I was invited to their palace.

I ate a meal prepared by their cook.

Virginio.

Poison me so I could marry you. No,
stop.

Have you forgotten?

I cut off a man's testicles just to
prove my love.

You could have bribed a cook or a
servant.

You might even tempt fate with your
life, Rodrigo, but be careful.

What you do to others, others can do to
you.

See how she stands and lets the light
shine through her gown?

Does she know we are here?

When you negotiate the dowry with her
father, be cautious.

Underneath that ancien ducal facade lies
the heart of a cunning, avaricious

peasant.

The old man talks more sweetly of his
crops than his daughter.

But I wonder, would I be happy with her?

Charlotte.

I wonder, too,

Would Lucrezia like her?

Here in the Basilica, my son has
sanctuary.

I swear no one will harm Sidonius while
Spoleto is in my charge.

What do you want?

Peace, forgiveness, trust.

I have brought you Spoleto's secret.

The secret to our success.

Excellency, please.

Here is my assurance.

Terni will never again be cheated while
you are in possession of this box.

This is witchcraft. This is mystical.

That is why I give it to the Grimani,
the finest Christian family in Terni.

Do not!

I

can

feel the power.

You must put carrot and lettuce through
this lot.

But like a Pandora.

Never opened the box.

Sidonius is too fine an archer to have
missed your brother's heart.

The arrow landed where intended.

My son did not wish to kill, only to
embarrass.

A young man's pride often confuses his
judgment.

I asked... only that Sidonius come to
Spoleto and take responsibility for his

crime. Then, as judge, I promise I will
pardon him.

There is no other way.

Please!

Please!

He had come from Terni. He had knelt
before me.

He has trusted me with his life.

Please.

Forgive.

For if even one of you keeps venom in
your heart, then all of us are tainted.

Forgiveness is a gift which God has
given us.

To give to others.

When we die, God will not ask, how many
men have you avenged?

But how many did you forgive?

If a man is truly sorry and you cannot
embrace him, then you have sinned

and you will suffer.

And I will attack Milan here, here,
here, and here.

Then I will offer its citizens a choice.

Loyalty to Sforza or you?

Death or joy?

No, no, no, no, no.

The bargaining goes badly.

The dowry is too extravagant. I am a
duke, not a Cesare.

Your son is king of Navarre. And I am
Cesare Borgia. My vow of fidelity,

whether to a pope, a king, or a wife,
does not come cheaply. Then I withdraw

my daughter's hand.

Fine.

Fine? You mean... I will find another
bride.

I hear the Tudor princess is shapely and
sagacious.

Alain, you must agree to the terms laid
out by Chesiree's secretary.

Of course.

This was merely a negotiation. No.

I've changed my mind. I no longer want
the girl.

But... No.

Chesiree, I beseech you.

Majesty, I love you, but my pride has
been wounded.

Phil, I implore you. No.

Alain Legrand is your subject, so I will
seek satisfaction from you.

I will agree to marry Charlotte only if
you defeat me in Judapont.

Me?

Twenty times we have played, and I have
never defeated you.

Highness, you must.

My daughter is devoted to the Duke of
Valentinois.

I cannot bear the thought of her weeping
and blaming me.

Very well.

At the hour of no-nay, we will play.

Who is there?

We, the Pope.

to watch me die.

I have come to comfort you, John
Bautista, as friend and priest.

Your forehead is on fire.

You will get well, and together we will
celebrate Mass on the Feast of the

Assumption.

When the Virgin Mary, sleeping, was
taken into heaven, body and soul.

Alas, I can make no such assumptions.

Where I go, what legend I will have this
night, in whose

company I will fall, or in what manner I
will be greeted,

I do not know.

None of us can know.

All my life, I have lived under
assumptions of French family.

And yet, where are they now?

My family, my daughter Cardinals.

Only you, Rodrigo.

My Pope.

My enemy has come.

We will pray.

It will not last long.

Your presence provides great solace.

No man should meet his end alone.

Ally or foe.

Forgive me for suspecting you.

If you could win, then I would do as you
command.

But what does a wager matter? You cannot
beat me.

And you hold your tongue.

For this time you will lose.

I fight for love.

God of peace.

You have refreshed your servant John
Bautista with food and drink from

heaven. Lead him safely into the kingdom
of light through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

What do you smell?

The sweet breath of God on the statue of
hell.

Cardinalis est mortus.

It is the Pope's prerogative to take
possession of a dead cardinal's estate.

Do an inventory of the entire Orsini
household.

You see, Alessandro, our treasury is
replenished, how God provides.

What about Tibetri?

Monterano? Viano?

These lands only revert back to papal
control after Virginia Orsini's death.

Seize them as well.

What do you have no legal grounds?

Virginia Orsini attempted to poison the
Pope.

And the traitor arrested.

You will marry Sardis.

Why does it suddenly feel as if I have
not won?

Why let me win?

Why let me score if you do not wish to
marry her?

I have learned that often one must lose
a point to win the bigger match.

Of course I wish to marry Charlotte.

But I do not want a lifetime of her
father interfering in our lives.

If he thinks that I do not care for her,
that I will marry out of obligation to

you, then he will tread lightly, afraid
to step me off again.

Lucicide, you do not know how alike we
are.

I have a grander game in mind as well.

to build an empire greater than
Charlemagne's, with you by my side.

And to begin, General Borgia, I grant
you full authority to depart

from France, to command my army, to
crush Milan.

Borgia has taken every chair, chalice,
even the dirty sheets.

Virginia, I'm ready to wed.

To give you an heir to the Rossini
family.

With your brother's death, there is no
Rossini in the College of Cardinals.

You will need Alessandro's support.

No nobleman in Italy ever will.

The Pope has shown his resolve to keep
you in his possession, whatever the

cost.

You are now and forever his whore.

Virginia Orsini, you are under arrest.

Lucrezia, what are you doing?

It is Nianone.

My dear.

I'm fine.

Cardinal de la Rovere.

Enter.

We come to congratulate you on your
engagement.

Giuliano, what think you of this?

You will marry on the Feast of the
Assumption.

There's an old wives' tale.

Rain always falls on the day of our
virgin.

Bad omen for a marriage.

Fate is my whore.

Brilliant.

May I ask what it is?

A letter to Duke Ludovico Sforza,
offering my undying friendship, and

asking if, on my way back to Rome...

I may enjoy Milan's hospitality with my
new bride.

He will know that you are not sincere.

Of course.

With sweet and courtly words, I make
clear the severity of my threat.

Oh, and Francesco.

I knew that you were hiding in the room
when I made the offer to Giustiniani.

Do you like dogs?

You are saying there is no permanent
damage.

She will recover soon. That is correct.

Why, when one is at her most happy, does
the blow strike the hardest?

Lucrezia, this may not be a blow.

What does the doctor say?

I feel as I did when I was with child.

That is because you are again with
child.

You're a fertile creature.

Well, then it's good for me.

Your words to the crowd about
forgiveness.

A child of ours is in your womb.

Is there nowhere in your heart where I
can be forgiven?

Yes Yes, I do I

forgive you

If Lucrezia is pregnant, we must bring
her home.

Put Spoleto in someone else's charge.

My nephew, John Borgia de Mila, perhaps.

Why? The finest French burgundy from
King Louis.

A thank you. We expect more from him
than wine.

Cesare's marriage and French troops.
Soon you will have both.

Alessandro Farnese says that your senior
state totals more than 300,000 ducats.

Princely sum for a prince of the church.

Dragone examined the feces?

Yes.

Because of the cardinal's generally poor
physical condition, even a small dose of

non-lethal poison might have caused his
death.

Ah.

Or...

The fish was bad.

This is what comes from putting the
papal purse in the hands of a pauper.

Pauper with the papal purse.

You are a feather.

You are a feather, Alessandra.

Left to you,

we would starve.

Do as I have done all these years.

Beg sometimes.

Borrow sometimes.

Sometimes steal.

Sin of only sin.

You see, Alessandro, our treasure is
replenished.

Let this go.

To hesitate will not change your
destination.

You must come with us, Pietro.

I'll remain at my post to keep alive the
torch which you have flamed.

Beautiful Spoleto.

The first time in my life where I did
not feel one step behind, but slightly

ahead.

My dear, in your condition, the road
will be rough.

We won't reach Rome because there's
something else.

A moment.

What is the matter?

It's good fortune come back to Spoleto.

My mother opened the box.

But that's some of Spoleto's success.

Soft and firm as I imagined good fortune
to be. And it's run into the hills.

We tried to find it, but it must have
returned here.

Why do you say that?

Because our misfortune is back.

You are leaving.

Unless you can promise.

Will my brother be safe?

No, he will not.

Please.

Yes,

husband. I obey.

Agapito.

You have ridden hard.

Four days.

And four nights.

And my horse will tell you as he suffers
for it.

Now, Cesare?

Married.

Good. Finally. Good.

Get him some food.

Now, reveal to us all you can about the
wedding.

The wedding night.

They married on the feet of the
Assumption.

When the rains always come.

But the day was perfect.

It was a perfect summer's day.

A day of weddings.

The two couples were married on the same
day.

First, Louis and Anne.

And then... Cesare and Charlotte.

Cesare smiled.

He smiled.

It was a smile I had never seen on his
face before.

And that night, I realized what kind of
smile it was.

The king is a bit mad, for he placed
both marital chambers next to each

other. I could hear he and Anne making
love.

And I could hear Cesare breaking his
lance.

Not once.

Not twice, but over and over.

Then I heard a door creak and footsteps.

I saw the king, naked, his ear to
Cesare's door.

After Cesare had broke the lance for the
eighth time, he stepped out,

naked as well.

To find the king looking at him in
stunned admiration.

And he said... Who?

Who said?

The naked king.

You have beaten me in this tournament as
well.

And on the spot increased his stipend to
40,000 francs a year.

And granted Cesare the rare honor of
placing the French lilies.

alongside the bull on the Borgia coat of
arms.

After the king retreated to his suite, I
made myself known to Cesare.

All is well.

The first sheets were read.

Go to Rome.

Tell my father.

I looked into his room, but...

I did not see the sweet young virgin on
his bed, and that is because she no

longer is.

But as he closed the door, I could see
his smile was one of relief,

release, satisfaction, surrender.

As if all the women whom he had known in
his life had led him

to this.

Movement.

Eight times?

Eight times in one night, you say?

Desiree is a Borgia.

France is ours.

And all of Italy.
