02x08 - Mass

[bunniefuu]

There, you see?

It's never too late
for reconciliation.

Why don't you find Sandro,
make your peace with him?

He knows you weren't directly
to blame for Simonetta's death.

But if you'd...

...respected the sanctity of
her marriage, then you could be---

Ah, Madonna
Ardinghelli, how are you?

I'm very well.
Thank you.

Sorry, you were saying something
about the sanctity of marriage...

Just do it.

Sorry.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

It's only just starting.

We've still got time.

No, let's... let's stay-stay here.

Why is Francesco Pazzi over there?

I don't know.

Take me to the Gonfaloniere.

I have an urgent
message from His Holiness.

Your men can wait here...

...while we speak in my office.

Take a seat, your grace.

What exactly is it
that you want, your grace?

Do you think I might
slake my thirst,...

...before we talk business?

No!!

No!

No!

Get out!

Wait! Wait! That's mother!

Bianca, Bianca! Please, come on!
We need to go!

Giuliano! No! No!
My boy!

Help him! Giuliano!

Lorenzo, the sacristy!

Get her in!

My boy! No!*

My boy!

No!

Lorenzo! Lorenzo, come
on in the sacristy! Lorenzo!

Francesco...

Francesco...

Francesco...

k*ll him!

Giuliano!

Giuliano!

Giuliano!

No!

Hold on, Nori!

Get in!

Come on, get in! Get in!

Get in!

You left him?

You left Giuliano?...

No, no, no, you get out!...

No, you get out, get out, get out!

Get him!

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry!

Poliziano! Poliz...!

Poliziano! Poliziano!

What's happened?
What's happened?

The Medici were m*rder*d!

Lorenzo and Giuliano are dead!

Get out of my way!

Get out of my way!

Do you hear something?

What you hear,...

...is the birth of a new republic.

Why are they here?

Help me break down the door.

You're bleeding!

Nobody's coming to help you!

I must go...

I must go and get Giuliano.

No, no, no, there
are too many of them!

How many?

Five, six!

The cathedral was full!

There were hundreds
of people, hundreds!...

They just stood and and watched
and did did nothing!

They were afraid!
-Of five men?

They panicked and ran!

I should have done something,
I should have done something!

Just stop everything, stop!

A papal army will arrive shortly!

But with the cooperation
of Gonfaloniere Petrucci,...

...there will be no need...

...of any further bloodshed.

Jacopo,...

...Salviati...

...and an army of
men led by Montesecco...

...are now in control of the Priori!

Another 600 men are
on their way from Imola!

Lorenzo!...

You might as well surrender!

I cut Lorenzo's throat!
He's mortally wounded!

Make sure of it.

Then meet me at
the government palace.

Come out!

We could be hammering at that
door for days and not break it down.

He's probably bleed to death.

If he's not, he soon will do.

We should go...

We should be at the Priori by now.

Declaring a new
government with your uncle.

He told us to make sure.

Lorenzo!

Lorenzo...

I should have known... I
should have listened to him.

If I'd listened to
him he'd still be alive.

I'll go to him...

I'll go to him.

There's nothing you can do!

No, it's too late.
-It's not too late.

Listen to her.
-He's dead.

Listen to her.

It's done.

I need to get out of here.

Wait!

I'm sorry...

...I'm sorry. This is my fault.
I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I was the son of peasants.

Son of people who didn't count.

But I could count...

So you took me into your bank...

...and under your wing.

I'm happy to give my life for you.

No, no...

No, please.

No!...

No! No!

Hello?

Hello?

You can come out now.
They've gone.

Who's-who's that?

One of the choir boys.

It could be... it could be a trap.

No, no, don't, Lorenzo.

No, Lorenzo, no!
It could be a trap!

No! I can't wait any longer!

They-they've gone to the Priori.

Wake up, wake up... You're good...

I should have listened to you.

Better late than never.

Together in heaven.

And Vespucci's
going to hell for this.

No, no,... don't...
No, don't die, don't...

Don't die...

Please, don't die, don't die.
Don't die.

Sorry.

My boy!

My boy!

You cannot go out there alone!

Come home! Gather your
forces, marshal your strength.

The people need to know I'm alive.

You won't be for long! Your
mother was right! They left us here!

Come back and live
to fight another day!

Go after him! Please, protect him.
-Lorenzo?

I bring greetings from the Curia!

And a message of peace
from His Holiness the Pope.

Jacopo Pazzi...

...and the brave patriots
who today have overthrown...

...the tyrannical
rule of the Medici,...

...have his full support.

Almost 400 years ago,...

...my ancestor,
Pazzino de' Pazzi,...

...led the liberation
of Jerusalem, and now...

...we do the same for Florence!

The Priori...

...will no longer be
puppets of Lorenzo de' Medici!

There will be no
more of the same old...

...corrupt political elite!

It is time for the people...

...to take back control!

It is time for liberty!

Death...

...to Medici tyranny! Liberty,...

...freedom to the people!

Long live Jacopo Pazzi!

Jacopo!

Jacopo!

Jacopo!

Jacopo!

Jacopo!

Jacopo!

Jacopo!

Jacopo!

Jacopo!

Come here.

The gonfaloniere,...
Cesare Petrucci,

has agreed to hand
over his position...

...to Jacopo Pazzi!
And will now make...

...an announcement!

Do you think we have no guards?

Lorenzo... sent for the
Cavalcantis this morning.

Jacopo!
Jacopo!

Jacopo!

Jacopo!

Open up!

I demand you open these doors!

The men in the Priori?

Locked in.
-Good.

Go to the bell tower, ring the...

...alarm, and fire on the
rebels from above!

Guard the door!

I'm the new gonfaloniere...

...with the new Priori!

And I demand you open these gates!

They locked us in!

Move!

Move!

We need to requisition
your cart as a battering ram!

The despots are dead...

...and we need to get
into the government palace!

Is that a ghost then?

These men are murderers.

These men...

...these men are villains.

Your dictatorship is over, Medici!

The people have spoken!

They will no longer
follow one elite family...

...and their cronies!

The people will rule!

These men plotted to k*ll me!

Plotted to k*ll me and
my brother in the Duomo!

On the Sabbath!...

In the middle of mass!

These are not crimes
against my family,...

...these are crimes against God!

My brother's...

...my bro...

...my brother...

...my brother is dead.

We chose to spare you!

But we will spare you no
longer if you don't surrender.

Raise your weapons!

And break down the doors!

Break them down!

You heard him!

Let the horses loose!

I'm just a stone cutter!

I know nothing of politics!

But when the Medici run things,...

...my trade is good!

My boy eats!

And my trade, too.

If this is the people
of Florence speaking,...

...why are these soldiers outsiders?

Long live Lorenzo de' Medici!

Long live Lorenzo de'
Medici, who gave us work!

And gave us work!

And art!

And philosophy!

Long live Lorenzo de'
Medici, who gave us poetry!

A Papal army...

...will soon be at the gates!

If you resist the will of God,...

...there will be slaughter!

You've already lost, Medici.

We control the Priori.

Up there!

The city's gates will be closed.

Your army will be repelled!

Go! Go! Come on!

Come on, run!
Close the gates!

Remember that letter?

I opened it this morning.

It was from Francesco,...

...inviting us to meet
him at his villa to discuss...

...urgent business.

Us?

Both of us?

I thought it was odd.

It would have meant
missing mass, and...

...if it was
so pressing, why not...

...mention it when he saw
us at the banquet?

Do you still have it?

I threw it on the fire.

So you can't prove what it said?

Do I have to?

To my own wife?

Why were we standing in the nave?

We were late.

And as we came in, I saw...

...Salviati slipping
out at the back,...

...and then I saw Francesco,...

...not at our family villa in
the hills, as he said he'd be,...

...not in our family
pew as he should have been.

He sat behind Giuliano.

And he had this look on his face.

By then it was too late.

No, it wasn't!

Why didn't you shout?

You could have saved his life.

I couldn't believe
what I was thinking,...

...that my brother-
- He warned you.

Not exactly.
-He warned you and you did nothing!

The Pazzi family have a long...

...long history of
treachery and m*rder,...

...and previous crimes have gone...

...unpunished, because they
could not be proven!

But now...

Now I want the
entire Pazzi family...

...hunted down
and wiped out.

I want their financial assets
seized and given to the people!

And I want their coat
of arms removed from...

...every building,
every document,...

...every coin...

...and every surface in this city!

I want the Pazzi name
expunged from history!

Come on!

Open the door!

Let me in!...

Open the door!

Open the gates!
I said open the gates!

This is an emergency,
I'm in control now, understood?

Of course, signore.

Right, contact Milan and Venice,...

...demand m*llitary support,

according to the
terms of our treaty.

Bring them in.

On your knees!

You may confess
before I pass sentence.

So we got no trial?

Did my brother?

Nothing I've done
is a crime.

I've nothing to confess.

I confess to being
a professional soldier.

I carried out the
duties I was paid to perform.

Yes, my wife suspected you.

Carlo tried to warn us.

My brother even
heard rumors of an army.

They'll be here any moment.

Will they?

I should have done more.

I should have done more than...

How could I have predicted this?

You have no right to judge us.

The Medici have k*lled
countless times.

Your father made an orphan
of me with a stroke of his quill!

We were friends, Francesco.

There were times that
Giuliano was jealous of you.

You are a Medici.

I am a Pazzi.

We could never be truly friends.

Hang these two so the
whole city can see them.

He can die a soldier's
death at the point of a sword.

If you k*ll me,...

...Carlo will die in Rome.

Not while I have the
Pope's nephew to bargain with.

Jacopo's been seen trying
to get out at the North gate.

He won't get far.

Lorenzo, please,...

...do not do anything
you will later to regret.

Hang them.

Spread out.

Search every building.

Always looking for
trouble, aren't you, boy?

You k*ll me...

...and I'll become a martyr.

A martyr?
You'll be forgotten.

No.

Surrender, Jacopo.

Repent your sins,...

...and you can die with God's grace.

The arrogance.

It's you who's going to die, boy.

Lorenzo!

Here!

Do it.

No, not here.

Bring him to the Palazzo Vecchio.

Wait outside.

You must seek peace
with the Pazzi.

No matter the cost.

But they hate us, Grandmother.

Why?

Why do you keep on hating us?

It's you who hate us.

Because you're just a bunch...

...of jumped-up wool-peddlars.

You may own the richest
bank in the world,...

...and could build a
thousand cathedrals,...

...but you'll never be
a noble family like us...

We, we're destined to
rule, and you know that.

Their hatred is
built upon our hatred.

But that's not true.
-But it is.

You must listen.

Hatred...

...begets hatred.

Is that why you
tried to k*ll my father?

Why you m*rder*d my brother?

God is our judge.

We did what we believe to be right.

And we never acted alone.

Is Guglielmo involved?

No.

But I would say that, wouldn't I?

Your namesake,...

...Lorenzo, d*ed at
the hands of the Pazzi,...

...convinced...

...they m*rder*d your
great-grandfather. But they didn't.

Grandfather said
the Albizzi k*lled him.

No.

Hatred begets hatred.

I tried.

I tried to make peace with you.

Lorenzo.

You must be the one to end it.

Hatred...

...begets hatred.

Be a better man...

...than your father,...

...your grandfather,...

...and his father...

...before him.

Do good.

Be good.

And lead us all to Christ.

It ends here.

You lose.

I lose what little
is left of my life.

But you with your precious
ideals, what have you lost?

You've lost everything
you've ever stood for.

You've lost your soul.

No! No! No! Get out!

Get off me!

Clarice!

Is Giuliano here?

They laid him out...

Your mother
is sitting with him.

This order of yours...

It doesn't apply
to Guglielmo, does it?

No! Wait!

Wait!
-Did you know?

Did you know?
-No, Lorenzo.

I swear it before God
and the lives of my family.

Your family are the Pazzi.

Not any more.

Why weren't you in the pews?

We were in the nave...

I was late.
You know how I am.

Of course she didn't know.
You're just being paranoid now.

How can you think such a thing?

Give me a dagger.

Lorenzo, no!
-I should have known...

...and I should have stopped them!

If you k*ll him,
you'll have to k*ll me.

And the baby.

Lock them in their chambers.

We need to talk to you.

You said that
Giuliano and Simonetta...

...would be
together forever in my...

...painting, yet I have
just watched it...

...b*rned by a mob on a bonfire.

Corpses are being desecrated.
Jacopo has been cut down,...

...beheaded, quartered,...

...each piece of his body being
paraded separately through the city!

You have to do something.
-I'll do something.

I'll commission you to paint the...

...traitors on the walls
of the Bargello.

I want their shame
recorded and remembered.

Do you know why the
people supported you?

It is because all
your acts of kindness,...

...all your virtue
added up to more...

...than the fear of the soldiers,

and that's why you're alive now.

Look!

Doesn't this fresco
mean anything to you?

Don't you see it is because...
of you and your family...

...that we have been surrounded...

...by love... and peace...
and harmony...

...for so long?

Be a leader, Lorenzo.

Show mercy, stop the bloodshed.

The city gate's shut, the
alarm sounding throughout Tuscany.

It seemed wiser to retreat.

Any news from Florence itself?

Lorenzo has had Archibishop
Salviati... and your bankers,...

...Francesco and Jacopo Pazzi,...

...hanged...

...from his government palace.

This should never had happened.

I couldn't...

I couldn't stop it.

And Cardinal Riario...

Riario?

...is hostage.

Bring me a messenger at once.

You may live.

Thank you.

But you'll be
banished from Florence.

And never see my sister or
your daughter again. You understand?

It's a generous and
merciful compromise, Bianca.

If my husband is
exiled, I go with him.

Our mother lost a son yesterday.

You'd force her to
lose a daughter and a--

No, you would!
-If you insist on this,...

...I'll have you both k*lled.

We live together
or we die together.

No... I'll go.

I accept your compromise...

I'll go!

We live together...

...or we die together.

Go then.

I want you both
gone after the funeral.

What else is there
to do but carry on?

It isn't Venus and Mars...

A different kind
of Venus and Mars...

Set in an orange grove,...

...in amongst flowers
and fruit and color.

I'm calling it "Spring".

'Cause after death...

...comes life.

Re-birth.
