I can't believe it.

0:00:080:00:11

The greatest charioteer in Italy!

0:00:110:00:13

How did you do it, Papa?

0:00:130:00:15

We're Medicis, Lorenzo. And you must remember,

0:00:150:00:19

for Medicis, anything is possible.

0:00:190:00:22

Anything is possible.

0:00:260:00:28

Non e finito! Brushes cleaned, surfaces spotless,

0:01:110:01:15

or there'll be no weekend off.

0:01:150:01:17

I've only got the most exciting news ever.

0:01:190:01:22

-What?

-Guess who's coming to my house?

0:01:220:01:25

-I don't know.

-Giovanni Salvatore.

0:01:250:01:27

No way! THE Giovanni Salvatore?

0:01:270:01:31

-He's a very talented athlete.

-Who?

0:01:350:01:37

Who?! Only the most incredibly famous...

0:01:370:01:41

-..astonishingly handsome...

-..amazingly talented...

-..charioteer.

0:01:410:01:45

Oh.

0:01:450:01:47

He'll be racing for Florence. Father enticed him over from Naples.

0:01:470:01:51

Imagine having that kind of power.

0:01:510:01:55

"I want Giovanni. Oh, here he comes."

0:01:550:01:59

I'm going sailing for the weekend, with my father.

0:01:590:02:02

-And that's interesting because...?

-Because...

0:02:020:02:06

I've designed a super efficient sail.

0:02:060:02:09

-When's Giovanni arriving?

-Later today.

0:02:090:02:11

We're having a reception at the palace.

0:02:110:02:14

-You can get us on the guest list.

-Dream on!

0:02:140:02:17

I can't invite peasants to the palace, no offence.

0:02:170:02:21

-I need to be there.

-And me.

0:02:210:02:23

It's a perfect chance to get an autograph. He's never signed one.

0:02:230:02:27

People'll say, "That Machiavelli, he can..."

0:02:270:02:30

-"He can certainly talk."

-"..achieve the impossible."

0:02:300:02:34

I'm sorry, nothing I can do, special guest list.

0:02:340:02:37

-Celebs and royalty only.

-But we're your mates!

0:02:370:02:40

My father doesn't know that. And he can't.

0:02:400:02:44

Not ever.

0:02:440:02:46

Yeah? So...

0:02:460:02:51

Bye.

0:02:510:02:53

Unbelievable selfishness, thy name is Lorenzo.

0:02:530:02:57

Leonardo.

0:02:590:03:02

He's not coming, is he?

0:03:020:03:05

I'm sorry, he sent a message.

0:03:070:03:10

Don't start moping now, you've still got the weekend off.

0:03:130:03:17

Get out, enjoy yourself.

0:03:170:03:21

-Look on the bright side, if you're not sailing...

-You can come with us.

0:03:210:03:26

-His dad's always doing it, isn't he?

-What?

0:03:430:03:46

Cancelling, letting Leo down.

0:03:460:03:49

-Leo doesn't see it like that.

-I know.

0:03:490:03:51

Makes excuses for him.

0:03:510:03:53

Yep. So come on, what about your parents?

0:03:530:03:57

What about them?

0:03:570:03:59

-You never talk about them.

-Don't I?

0:03:590:04:02

Man of mystery.

0:04:040:04:07

Delighted... Delighted to meet you, Signor Giovanni.

0:04:130:04:17

-Ahem, delighted to meet you, Signor...

-Good moves, Lorenzo.

0:04:170:04:21

-Nice dress, princess.

-Dream hat.

-Crack that mirror.

0:04:210:04:25

-What are you doing?

-We're crashing your party.

0:04:250:04:30

Shh! I'm so dead. I don't believe this, I thought you were sailing?

0:04:300:04:35

What and miss your big celebrity party?!

0:04:350:04:38

Your dad's got great security, it was hard to get past.

0:04:380:04:42

-I'm so glad you did(!)

-Do you think Giovanni will like it?

0:04:420:04:46

-He'll profess his undying love(!)

-He'll love it, you look great.

0:04:460:04:50

Leo?

0:04:520:04:54

"To Lorenzo, your loving father, Piero de' Medici."

0:04:540:05:00

-Leo?

-Oh, yeah, great.

0:05:000:05:05

Are you ready, my little tortellini?

0:05:080:05:12

Lorenzo, who are these people?

0:05:120:05:15

And why are you entertaining them in your private chambers?

0:05:150:05:19

Leo...is my new servant.

0:05:190:05:22

This is my mother, her Excellency Teresa de' Medici.

0:05:220:05:26

Don't just stand there like a lump of stone. Start polishing.

0:05:260:05:31

Has he even been trained? Where did you recruit him? Asino!

0:05:310:05:36

Count Gianluca di Modena di Batista di Lampedusa at your service,

0:05:360:05:41

bella Signora.

0:05:410:05:43

Incantata.

0:05:430:05:46

-This is my servant, Humbelina.

-Quick, Lorenzo, the guests are arriving.

0:05:480:05:53

Arrivederci, Count Lampedusa.

0:05:530:05:56

-Humbelina?!

-Ow!

0:05:590:06:03

It's not funny.

0:06:030:06:06

Uh-uh! Not for servants.

0:06:340:06:36

Mmmm! Those Viennese pastry chefs - absolute geniuses.

0:06:360:06:42

Come on, give me a bit. Come on.

0:06:420:06:44

Don't worry, servants get leftovers at the end.

0:06:440:06:47

If we're in a good mood.

0:06:470:06:49

Oh no, my dad!

0:06:550:06:58

APPLAUSE

0:07:020:07:05

Keep out of his way, you're so rubbish, he'll know something's up.

0:07:070:07:12

Maybe I'd be better if I was fed.

0:07:120:07:14

-Hope you're behaving yourself.

-Yes, Papa.

0:07:140:07:18

He is gorgeous!

0:07:220:07:24

We're going to be so happy together.

0:07:270:07:29

Signor Salvatore, an honour.

0:07:340:07:38

-Hi.

-I'm a great admirer of yours.

0:07:380:07:41

The race in Sienna last year, magnifico.

0:07:410:07:46

Humbelina, some drinks.

0:07:460:07:48

Signor Giovanni will have pomegranate juice with lime.

0:07:480:07:52

-But...

-Now, girl.

0:07:520:07:55

That's my favourite drink. How did you know?

0:07:550:07:59

As I said, I'm a great admirer of yours.

0:07:590:08:02

As you can see, Signor Valerio,

0:08:120:08:14

the perks of working for me are numerous.

0:08:140:08:18

I am eternally grateful, Excellency.

0:08:180:08:21

And how is our little mechanical project progressing?

0:08:210:08:24

Our man is doing nicely, Excellency. Yesterday we completed a leg.

0:08:300:08:35

Bene, Bene. Well, you may avail yourself

0:08:350:08:38

of the Medici hospitality for a few minutes more.

0:08:380:08:41

-Then back to work.

-Yes, Excellency.

0:08:410:08:45

Good work, cousin, poaching Giovanni from Naples.

0:08:480:08:51

You kept that very quiet.

0:08:510:08:54

These days one must keep one's cards close to one's chest.

0:08:540:08:58

You never know where a rival or enemy may lurk.

0:08:580:09:01

A depressing thought.

0:09:010:09:03

On a happier note, with Giovanni, perhaps we may beat Rome?

0:09:030:09:07

Anything is possible, your Grace, anything is possible.

0:09:070:09:11

'Anything is possible.'

0:09:130:09:15

CLICKS FINGERS

0:09:220:09:25

Leo.

0:09:290:09:31

-What?

-Lorenzo's dad.

0:09:310:09:33

-Yeah, we have to keep away from him.

-No, he's the one.

-What one?

0:09:330:09:37

The head of the Luminari.

0:09:370:09:39

There is an apprentice at Verrocchio's workshop,

0:09:390:09:42

a certain Leonardo Da Vinci, we want his notebook.

0:09:420:09:47

Piero de' Medici? The duke's cousin? No, come on!

0:09:470:09:51

You must have made a mistake.

0:09:510:09:53

No, I recognize his voice, it's him, I'm sure of it.

0:09:530:09:58

But it doesn't make any sense.

0:09:580:10:01

-A Medici sneaking round the catacombs, he has all this.

-Come on,

0:10:010:10:05

if you don't believe me, I'll get you proof.

0:10:050:10:09

All Florence owes you a huge debt, for bringing us the great Giovanni.

0:10:180:10:22

-He knows a lot about racing. He can list every win I've had.

-Is that so?

0:10:220:10:27

-Count Lampedusa, allow me to show you round.

-I've always loved horses.

0:10:270:10:32

-I often burst into tears at the sight of a well turned fetlock.

-Wonderful.

0:10:320:10:38

Something must link him to the Luminari.

0:11:130:11:16

It just doesn't add up, think about it.

0:11:160:11:19

He's head of one of the most powerful families,

0:11:190:11:22

would he really be part of some sinister secret...?

0:11:220:11:25

-What?

-Come here.

0:11:270:11:31

A flying machine, copied from my notebook.

0:11:370:11:40

FOOTSTEPS AND VOICES

0:11:460:11:48

Bring me Arborio, the race promoter.

0:11:540:11:57

And a bag of a thousand florins from the safe.

0:11:570:12:00

There's a young guest calling himself Lampedusa.

0:12:000:12:04

He's a gatecrasher and probably a thief.

0:12:040:12:08

He needs to be taught a lesson.

0:12:080:12:11

Don't get stressed, he loved me. My wit, my charm.

0:12:130:12:17

Please, you need to go.

0:12:170:12:19

And where are Leo and Tom? They seem to have just...

0:12:190:12:22

There's a matter of extreme urgency...

0:12:220:12:25

OK, that is unacceptable!

0:12:250:12:30

(I'll sort it.)

0:12:360:12:38

(You're going to distract him?)

0:12:380:12:41

(With some kind of distraction machine?)

0:12:430:12:47

Cavolo!

0:13:010:13:04

(Now!)

0:13:140:13:18

You have the whole package - grace, power, athleticism.

0:13:390:13:43

Actually, I'm not your biggest fan,

0:13:430:13:45

that's my nephew, little Mac di Lampedusa.

0:13:450:13:48

-He's drawn a hundred pictures of you.

-That's cute.

0:13:480:13:51

-He's insisting we put a statue of you in his coffin.

-Coffin?

0:13:510:13:55

He's dying, the sweating sickness.

0:13:550:13:58

How terrible, if only I could do something.

0:13:580:14:01

You could send him a memento.

0:14:010:14:03

An autograph on your charioteer's glove?

0:14:030:14:06

I don't do autographs. You start down that road, it never ends.

0:14:060:14:11

I completely understand. Lovely party, isn't it?

0:14:110:14:14

-Um, yes.

-Must be parties everywhere you go?

0:14:150:14:20

Well, yes, social events.

0:14:200:14:23

Little Mac loves to think of you enjoying yourself.

0:14:230:14:27

It's an escape for him,

0:14:270:14:29

as he lies there wheezing, sweating...

0:14:290:14:33

-I'll do it!

-Really?

-I'd sign one right now if only I had a pen.

0:14:330:14:37

Any of these do at all?

0:14:370:14:39

You could put something like,

0:14:480:14:52

"To my best mate Mac, first among the citizens of Florence,

0:14:520:14:57

"a jewel, a paragon, a shining example..."

0:14:570:15:01

I'm not sure there's room.

0:15:010:15:03

Whatever, that will do.

0:15:030:15:09

Bellissimo, you've done a wonderful, wonderful thing.

0:15:090:15:15

That felt good, giving something back.

0:15:200:15:25

The life of a charioteer, it's great,

0:15:250:15:28

but there's a lot of empty glitz.

0:15:280:15:30

Lampedusa?

0:15:360:15:38

Is Lampedusa not with you?

0:15:420:15:45

He just wandered off in the middle of talking to me.

0:15:450:15:48

How dare you! Don't you know who I am? I'm being abducted! >

0:15:510:15:55

Look!

0:16:000:16:02

You! Stop!

0:16:020:16:06

-Now what do we do?

-We go after them.

0:16:060:16:09

-Father! Father!

-What is it, Lorenzo?

0:16:110:16:15

Count Gianluca di Batista, um, Modera di...

0:16:150:16:19

-Lampedusa has been kidnapped!

-When?

-Just now, in the gardens.

0:16:190:16:23

Oh, don't worry, they won't escape. I'll put my best men on it.

0:16:230:16:29

A guest has been kidnapped, find him.

0:16:290:16:31

This way! Sbrigati, presto, presto.

0:16:310:16:35

Keep the young master out of the way. There's no need to involve him.

0:16:350:16:41

He's a child and doesn't yet understand

0:16:410:16:43

what it means to be a Medici.

0:16:430:16:46

"To my best mate, Mac."

0:16:540:16:57

"First among citizens of Florence, a jewel, a paragon, a...shin?"

0:16:570:17:02

At least we know he came this way.

0:17:020:17:04

I can't believe Mac got his autograph.

0:17:040:17:07

-What have I got? Nothing!

-Tom... Lisa, sorry.

0:17:070:17:10

This is my one chance to be a girl.

0:17:100:17:14

I should be in there dancing with... someone.

0:17:140:17:18

Lisa!

0:17:180:17:21

I know, I know, we have to save him.

0:17:210:17:23

-You really think they could be under here?

-Oh, absolutely.

0:17:290:17:33

The old "stash the hostage under the bed" routine -

0:17:330:17:36

-seen it a thousand times.

-You have a lot more experience than I do.

0:17:360:17:41

Why don't you search on top of the bed?

0:17:420:17:45

Really?

0:17:450:17:48

Their cunning knows no bounds.

0:17:480:17:51

Let go, ruffians. I'll make it worth your while.

0:17:580:18:01

If you let me go, I shall give you parcels of the finest Lampedusa land.

0:18:030:18:08

And a dairy herd.

0:18:080:18:12

Did I mention my dying nephew?

0:18:120:18:15

What are you doing?

0:18:150:18:18

I am making a camera obscura.

0:18:180:18:22

-Oh, thanks for clearing that up(!)

-When the acid eats through the hole,

0:18:220:18:26

light will pass through this pinhole and project an image inside.

0:18:260:18:31

That'll help how?

0:18:310:18:35

Santa Maria!

0:18:350:18:37

The devil, help, the devil!

0:18:390:18:42

Ahh! A demon! Did you see that?

0:18:460:18:50

-I saw it.

-OK, wait there.

0:18:500:18:52

Hey, come!

0:18:590:19:01

Excellent work! The huge moving picture ghost thing.

0:19:010:19:05

-Where are the keys?

-The guards.

0:19:050:19:07

There's no way we can force these.

0:19:090:19:11

Leave it to me.

0:19:110:19:14

You don't survive as a runaway girl without learning a thing or two.

0:19:160:19:21

I am so impressed.

0:19:240:19:27

-Master, there's a demon!

-Get back there!

0:19:270:19:31

-Please, Master, no!

-Now, you idiots, move!

0:19:310:19:35

I could really use someone like you, you know, Lis.

0:19:350:19:40

For what? Breaking into houses and stealing documents?

0:19:400:19:43

-You say that like it's a bad thing.

-Look!

-Let's go!

0:19:430:19:47

No, no, it's too late, they'll see us.

0:19:470:19:50

Is there another plan? I'm not keen on the stay and get tortured option.

0:19:500:19:55

Shh, Leo's thinking.

0:19:550:19:57

-Oh, a frog.

-Please tell me that's a brilliantly disguised crossbow?

0:20:050:20:11

-No, actually, most shoes don't support the foot so I've...

-Leo!

0:20:110:20:16

Yes, no, I've got it!

0:20:170:20:20

Now, go!

0:20:250:20:27

COUGHING AND SPLUTTERING

0:20:320:20:35

What the devil? What's going on?

0:20:370:20:41

-What's all this smoke? Silencio!

-I've got him!

0:20:410:20:45

THUMPING AND CRASHING You've got me, not him.

0:20:450:20:48

Ow!

0:20:480:20:50

I've got him! Master!

0:20:500:20:52

-Oh no, it's the master. A thousand apologies, your Excellency.

-Idiota!

0:20:570:21:02

KNOCK ON DOOR

0:21:070:21:08

Entry.

0:21:080:21:11

Father, we couldn't find Lampedusa, I think something terrible happened!

0:21:110:21:16

-No, no, I saw him.

-You did?

0:21:160:21:18

It seems the kidnapping was just a prank by some of the guests.

0:21:180:21:22

-They released him a while ago.

-Pretty stupid prank!

0:21:220:21:25

-Although it serves him right.

-Why do you say that?

0:21:250:21:28

Why would the esteemed Count Lampedusa deserve

0:21:280:21:32

to be treated in such a manner?

0:21:320:21:34

Nothing. I don't know, he just seemed a bit arrogant.

0:21:340:21:39

Mmm. Close the door, Lorenzo.

0:21:390:21:43

A thousand apologies, there's no sign of him on the grounds.

0:21:510:21:55

I think our young gate-crasher may be a friend of my son.

0:21:550:21:59

That's how he got past security. Make enquiries, find out his name.

0:21:590:22:04

-Yes, Excellency. And Signor Giovanni would like a word.

-Send him in.

0:22:040:22:10

Your Excellency.

0:22:170:22:20

I've something important to tell you.

0:22:200:22:23

-Piero de' Medici, head of a scary secret society.

-And our friend's dad.

0:22:280:22:33

Yes, and one of the most respected and influential men in Florence

0:22:330:22:38

-and we pick for an enemy.

-We didn't pick him, he picked us.

0:22:380:22:42

Do you know what we are to a man like that? With all that wealth and power?

0:22:420:22:46

Tiny, tiny gnats. And anytime he wants... It's goodbye.

0:22:460:22:51

We get it, Mac!

0:22:510:22:53

Why would he want your drawings?

0:22:530:22:56

Of highly advanced machines. Maybe he could sell them?

0:22:560:23:00

Yeah, like he needs the money. He went to a lot of trouble to steal it.

0:23:000:23:05

He must be planning something.

0:23:050:23:07

From this notebook,

0:23:070:23:11

we will conjure deadly weapons.

0:23:110:23:16

What about Lorenzo? Do you think he's involved?

0:23:160:23:20

-That's horrible.

-Of course not, he's our friend.

0:23:200:23:24

I'm not sure, let's face it, he's not like us. Not really.

0:23:240:23:27

How could he, coming from that world?

0:23:270:23:30

-And in the end, people side with their own.

-He's our friend!

0:23:300:23:34

Yes, and his father's son.

0:23:340:23:37

There is no way he knows about this.

0:23:370:23:40

Somebody should tell him.

0:23:400:23:43

I'll do it.

0:23:470:23:49

Better him than me.

0:23:590:24:02

Oh, I forgot, I found this.

0:24:020:24:05

I was thinking it might be worth quite a bit. Maybe I should sell it.

0:24:050:24:09

Sweet glove of my dreams, I've missed you!

0:24:140:24:17

All Florence will see I'm a force to be reckoned with.

0:24:170:24:21

-The only one who got Giovanni to sign...

-Totally ridiculous.

0:24:210:24:26

Don't you have a home to go to? A fuss over nothing!

0:24:260:24:29

Why do I care if the new charioteer has resigned?

0:24:290:24:32

He what?!

0:24:320:24:35

Yeah, some noble at the Medicis inspired him to give up racing

0:24:350:24:40

-and devote his life to helping sick kids.

-I wonder who is(?)

0:24:400:24:44

I wouldn't want to be in his shoes.

0:24:440:24:46

There's an angry mob baying for his blood,

0:24:460:24:49

all because we don't want to lose a few chariot races. Ridicolo.

0:24:490:24:54

Probably best not to mention this.

0:25:020:25:05

-Father?

-What is it, Lorenzo?

-I heard about Giovanni leaving.

0:25:390:25:43

-I'm sorry.

-What kind of pea-brained idiot turns his back

0:25:430:25:47

on his own God given talent?

0:25:470:25:49

-I don't know.

-Such a shame. I hope you'll never be so foolish.

0:25:490:25:53

-No, Father.

-The Duke's complaining, "How did you let him go?"

0:25:530:25:58

-It's not like he's brought any talent to the city.

-Precisely.

0:25:580:26:02

Still, no point crying over spilt milk. Or charitable charioteers.

0:26:020:26:07

Go and get your riding stuff. We'll go hunting.

0:26:070:26:11

Just you and me.

0:26:110:26:13

Grazie, Papa.

0:26:130:26:15

Don't thank me, riding in the hills with my son,

0:26:150:26:18

what better tonic could there be?

0:26:180:26:22

-Leo! What are you doing?

-I've come to tell you something.

0:26:310:26:35

Presto! I'm going hunting with my dad.

0:26:350:26:39

We all got home OK, so...

0:26:410:26:45

Oh, good. And my dad never found out you were here,

0:26:450:26:48

-so it worked out all right.

-Yeah. It worked out all right.
