Da Vinci's Demons

Da Vinci's Demons SEASON 03 # EPISODE 01 "Semper Infidelis"

The journey before you will be monumental.

Leonardo. - It speaks with my mother's voice.

Leonardo, please, please!

Don't take the Book away from my people.

There was no Book.

Who are you? - Carlo de Medici.

We are the Labyrinth.

The servants of the horned god...

will seize their opportunity.

You're the Labyrinth.

Clarice. - Carlo.

You took long enough. 500,000 florins...

was withdrawn from the bank.

Now that Carlo has gone, someone will have to assume the blame.

Bastard!

Clarice is gone, which makes you, as his mother...

the Regent Head of the House of Medici.

Girolamo, your suffering will not end until the day you die.

Girolamo Riario...

you were dead, now you're born again.

What do you want from me?

For you to see what we see.

We are 1, Girolamo.

The man you know as Pope Sixtus...

is not the true Pope, but an imposter.

I shall assume the Papal throne at once.

Have the decency to spare my daughters.

Please, please. - From now on, God values...

what I value. -

I intend to take my rightful place.

Your only mission was to get the son of the Sultan to Rome.

Once that was accomplished, the outcome was all but assured.

If Bayezid is killed, the result is war.

Dishonored and dismissed, retaliation would be required.

They will stop at nothing.

In the Kingdom of Naples, a place called Otranto...

is where you will find what you seek.

The Ottomans just brought the next holy war to my doorstep.

If the Turks are victorious...

it gives them a stronghold to take all of Italy.

Unless you enlist a war engineer to help you mount an offensive.

We are outnumbered by 1,000s.

We've only got 1 shot at this.

Fuck.

It's the wrong way!

Open up! They're coming!

Open up! Open up!

No, no, no! Don't! Don't shoot! Don't...

I'm not a Turk, you stupid pricks!

Long live Naples! Long live Naples!

Ah, thanks.

To the walls!

Ready!

Hold till they fire!

Shoot straight!

Keep moving, men!

Get back! - I'm with da Vinci.

Load the cannon.

Load the cannons!

Secure the barbican.

Double archers on the South wall. - Yes, sir.

I can assure you your precautions will not be necessary.

Perhaps.

Perhaps I'm unwilling to put all my faith and future...

in some tinkerer. - On my count.

3.

It cannot be. - 2.

Now! Leonardo!

What is it? - The woman on the deck...

standing next to the Ottoman Prince.

That is your mother.

You cannot fire.

I have to.

I have to.

Leo...

Is it true?

Your mother?

I had no choice.

Count Riario. Cardinal Rodrigo.

Where is his holiness?

His holiness is not himself.

Is he of ill humor?

Better that you should see for yourself.

Deeper, deeper.

It is said that devils despise the netherworld...

which is why they so gleefully damn us mortals there.

He would never believe I would stoop so low...

which is why I must.

to be free, I must go below.

Your holiness.

I told you, leave me be!

It's Girolamo...

your holiness.

It is you.

Leave us.

Enjoying the irony, are you?

The captor, now the captive.

I see the prisoner has escaped.

Aided by someone within my household.

My dear brother wants my head on a platter...

and is wearing the Papal crown...

and would endanger his very soul to do so...

lying down with those damnable Turkish dogs.

And now...

the prodigal returns.

Planning your escape, father?

How dare you call me that.

Holy father.

I am so very sorry.

I prostrate myself before you.

My dear boy.

What have you done to yourself?

Father, I...

I despised you so.

Because you despised yourself.

Oh, I have done monstrous things.

I've killed innocents.

I have scorned you, betrayed you.

I have sought false idols, worshipped false gods.

Shh, it was all at the behest of others.

At the behest of me.

Come.

Let us pray together.

Amen.

Whoever you are looking for, Lady...

I can tell you now, he's not here.

Signora de Medici?

Please, come in.

Please, this way.

I am a servant to the House of de Medici.

They call me Shbeeb. - I know who you are...

and I know the nature of the services you provided for my husband.

I would do anything for Lorenzo the Magnificent.

Indeed.

Anything his heart or other organs desired, I suppose.

My husband kept a suite here, I believe.

I don't know what you mean, Signora.

A place of respite during those long banking excursions...

to Rome, Naples...

I swear to you...

A place where he could bring one of his whores for a good fuck.

This way.

We haven't had the pleasure of his company for some time.

Neither have I.

Will he be joining you?

At present, Signor de Medici is in Naples.

Killing Turks, I hope.

Unlikely he will walk through that door any time soon.

Sit.

I need your help.

Anything for the House of de Medici.

Good.

I have reason to believe an enemy of Florence is here in Rome.

He must be found and brought to justice.

Anyone who aids me in this mission...

will be handsomely compensated.

Who is this man?

Lorenzo's uncle...

Carlo de Medici.

A toast to Leonardo da Vinci...

the savior of Naples. -

The savior of Italy.

A gold sovereign...

for every infidel you sent to a watery grave.

And more to come...

as you ply your destructive trade...

for the Kingdom of Naples. -

A generous offer, no doubt...

but I'm afraid too little too late.

Leonardo has been in my employ now for...

considerable time.

And in many ways, he is more brother to me...

than aide. -

I will double whatever Lorenzo the Magnificent...

pays his "brother."

How dare you?! - Hold, Alfonso.

You do not know how much Leonardo has lost.

We have all lost. - Yes.

But not something for which you have sought your entire life.

Leave him be.

Drink on! The day is ours.

Drink on.

Leo.

Leo.

Hey, come buy me a drink.

Hey, you still don't know her fate.

You know, your mother may have survived.
