0:00:07 > 0:00:1066 Via Trento.

0:00:10 > 0:00:13Tell him to wait there until you come to the rescue.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57HE ROARS

0:00:57 > 0:00:59Leo!

0:00:59 > 0:01:01Stop messing about, you two.

0:01:01 > 0:01:04No, no, this paper's too thick, Enzo,

0:01:04 > 0:01:06you won't get enough layers like this.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09Come on, concentrate, all of you.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11We've got 20 of the dratted things left to do.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16# You sleep and I keep watch.

0:01:16 > 0:01:19# I lament alone

0:01:19 > 0:01:23# That I'll endure life's pain

0:01:23 > 0:01:28# You sleep peacefully, without anguish

0:01:28 > 0:01:31# And my eyes never close.

0:01:34 > 0:01:36# You sleep and I, cruel one,

0:01:36 > 0:01:40# I lament and weep

0:01:40 > 0:01:45# And I, alas I die. #

0:01:47 > 0:01:51Bellissimo, my piccolo songbird, bellissimo!

0:01:51 > 0:01:52Grazie, mama.

0:01:52 > 0:01:55You will sing for our guests tomorrow at the masked ball.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57Oh, mama, no! In front of all those people?

0:01:57 > 0:02:00I'll make a complete fool of myself.

0:02:00 > 0:02:04Medicis don't make fools of themselves, Lorenzo.

0:02:04 > 0:02:09This year, our Carnevale Ball is to be held in your honour.

0:02:09 > 0:02:14We have a very special announcement to make.

0:02:14 > 0:02:15What, Mama?

0:02:15 > 0:02:20That, mio piccolo tortellini, is a surprise. Una bella sorpresa.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22Ooh, eccitante.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24You could invite your friends.

0:02:24 > 0:02:28Leonardo. And the other two.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30Seriously, Papa?

0:02:30 > 0:02:33I know it's been a little strained.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35It might help things get back to normal.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38Grazie, Papa, grazie.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45Perhaps we should tell him before the ball. Prepare him.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47And spoil the surprise?

0:02:47 > 0:02:50Marriage will mean the end of these carefree days.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53It may come as quite a shock.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55Nonsense. He'll be delighted.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58What young man doesn't dream of his wedding day?

0:02:58 > 0:03:01Mmm.

0:03:01 > 0:03:07More to the point, she's from one of the most powerful families in Pisa.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09It's a great match.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12And she's so pretty.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19Scusi.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34ORGAN NOTES PLAY

0:03:34 > 0:03:39I love Carnevale. All the music and masks and dancing.

0:03:51 > 0:03:55I like your thingy. What is it?

0:03:55 > 0:03:57Viola organista.

0:03:57 > 0:04:01You strike a key and it pushes the string against the moving bow.

0:04:03 > 0:04:04Fantastico.

0:04:04 > 0:04:05Not the way you play it.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07Ha, ha, same old Mac.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09Yeah, same old Mac.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15We're having a masked ball. For Carnevale.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17And you're all invited.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22One for you, one for you, and one for you.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25Mama says they're planning a surprise for me at it.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28Can't think what it is.

0:04:28 > 0:04:29You're actually inviting us?

0:04:29 > 0:04:31- You're my friends. - What about your father?

0:04:31 > 0:04:33He suggested it.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36Thanks, but I think I'll go to the party in the Piazza,

0:04:36 > 0:04:38- with the rest of the commoners. - Me too.

0:04:38 > 0:04:42Leo, you'll come, won't you? Don't let me down.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45I have to sing. You could accompany me!

0:04:45 > 0:04:46On your viola thingy.

0:04:46 > 0:04:50I'd love to, I would...but I...

0:04:50 > 0:04:51I've got to work.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53But it's Carnevale.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56It's a portrait. A special commission.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58A very rich Austrian aristocrat, Baron von...

0:04:58 > 0:04:59Schnitzel.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05Tomorrow's the only day he can sit for us.

0:05:05 > 0:05:10Back to work. A lavoro, you lazy lumps.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12Break's long over.

0:05:12 > 0:05:16- Master Lorenzo.- Signor Verrocchio, I implore you, will you not give

0:05:16 > 0:05:19Leonardo tomorrow off, so he can attend the Medici Masked Ball?

0:05:19 > 0:05:20Leonardo isn't working tomorrow.

0:05:20 > 0:05:26Oh, oh, I must have misunderstood you Maestro.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29Well, understand this -

0:05:29 > 0:05:33stop tinkling about on that bizarre instrument, and get to work!

0:05:33 > 0:05:38And you, we need more fur and feathers. Go and fetch them.

0:05:38 > 0:05:39And you...

0:05:39 > 0:05:41Buzz off!

0:05:51 > 0:05:53I'm sorry.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55Va bene. I understand.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58But please, come. For me.

0:06:01 > 0:06:02Course.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07Course I'll come.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09I'll see you at the palace to practice.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14Typical Lorenzo. He thinks if he invites us

0:06:14 > 0:06:17to his fancy ball, we'll act like nothing's happened.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19- Well, there's no way I'm going. - Me neither. No way.

0:06:19 > 0:06:24Santa Maria, che bella...

0:06:28 > 0:06:32Although, on the other hand, if Leo were to go...

0:06:32 > 0:06:36- He'd need someone to look out for him?- Exactly.

0:06:37 > 0:06:41It's got your name on it.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45And a huge price tag. Dream on.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52Better get those things for the Maestro.

0:07:04 > 0:07:08Leonardo. So glad you can come tomorrow.

0:07:08 > 0:07:12And how nice of you to help Lorenzo out with your funny little...

0:07:12 > 0:07:14whatever.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17Lorenzo's waiting to practice with you. Have fun.

0:07:17 > 0:07:21LORENZO SINGS VOCAL WARM-UPS

0:07:23 > 0:07:25Leo, guess what?

0:07:27 > 0:07:31I've got us matching outfits!

0:07:31 > 0:07:36Oh! Wow... Fantastico.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48It's a complete original.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51One of a kind, designed by the Milanese genius himself,

0:07:51 > 0:07:53Giorgio Adriano.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55Do you think Leo will like it?

0:07:55 > 0:07:57I think a "thank you" would be nice.

0:07:57 > 0:08:01Oh, sorry, Mac - thanks.

0:08:01 > 0:08:02Leo, look at my dress!

0:08:02 > 0:08:05I don't think you should come. It's too dangerous.

0:08:05 > 0:08:07Nobody will recognise me. That's the beauty of it.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10It's a masked ball.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12I'll be completely safe.

0:08:12 > 0:08:13It's the perfect disguise.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16And we've been invited. What could possibly go wrong?

0:08:16 > 0:08:19Is everything in place?

0:08:19 > 0:08:21Yes, Excellency.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25Get rid of the guards at the palace gates.

0:08:25 > 0:08:26Give them the day off.

0:08:26 > 0:08:30They can go and join the street party in the piazza

0:08:30 > 0:08:32with the rest of the town's rabble.

0:08:34 > 0:08:38We don't want them here, interfering with our plans.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40No, Excellency.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59Here, there's the Duke.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02- How can you tell? - Something always gives it away.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05The eyes, a subtle gesture, body language...

0:09:05 > 0:09:07The royal hat?

0:09:07 > 0:09:11When you're as smart as I am, it's a piece of cake.

0:09:17 > 0:09:21Leo, I thought you'd never get here!

0:09:22 > 0:09:26Tom, Mac! You came too. Eccellente!

0:09:26 > 0:09:28Come on, we have to get ready.

0:09:38 > 0:09:42We don't have to stay - we could go to the piazza instead.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45What, and waste all this? No, I'm going to dance.

0:09:45 > 0:09:49- Well, if anybody asks me, that is. - I'll dance with you,

0:09:49 > 0:09:51if you're worried about being a wallflower.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53I'm not.

0:09:53 > 0:09:56And I'll wait for somebody proper to ask me, thanks very much.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58Suit yourself.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03- LORENZO:- The only good thing about singing

0:10:03 > 0:10:05is that it gets me out of dancing.

0:10:05 > 0:10:08Mama usually foists a load of silly girls on me at these things.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10Bella, bella, Angelica.

0:10:10 > 0:10:13Lorenzo's going to be so excited when we announce the wedding.

0:10:13 > 0:10:17You'll make the most divine couple, won't they, husband?

0:10:17 > 0:10:18Indeed.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20Excellency.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35Great minds, eh?

0:10:37 > 0:10:39We've got the same dress.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42Yours is a copy. And a cheap one at that.

0:10:46 > 0:10:50- May I have the pleasure of this dance?- Thank you.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14Swap masks, a minute.

0:11:14 > 0:11:17I want to see if Mac's as clever as he thinks he is, see if he can spot it's me.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19All right, but don't be long.

0:11:38 > 0:11:42MAC: Look at her, it's like she'll dance with anyone apart from me.

0:11:44 > 0:11:48Have you ever been in love, Lorenzo? It's torture.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50Girls are torturers.

0:11:50 > 0:11:54It's like, no matter what I do for her, what I say, it's always Leo.

0:11:54 > 0:11:58Leo, Leo, Leo. She only has eyes for Leo.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00What are you talking about? Who?

0:12:00 > 0:12:03Very funny. I was just messing with you.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06Lisa, do you mean Lisa? She doesn't like me.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09I mean, she likes me, but she doesn't LIKE me.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12I told you, I was just joking around. I knew it was you all along.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15Better luck next time, Da Vinci.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24HE WHISPERS TO HIMSELF Why, why?

0:12:27 > 0:12:30Come on!

0:12:44 > 0:12:47Mac!

0:12:50 > 0:12:53I've just had the weirdest conversation with Mac.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56He seems to have got the idea that you like me,

0:12:56 > 0:12:58I know that you like me, but that you like me.

0:13:01 > 0:13:03I have no idea who you are,

0:13:03 > 0:13:10what you are talking about, and I most certainly do not like you.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16Porca!

0:13:30 > 0:13:31Leo!

0:13:31 > 0:13:34- That was so embarrassing.- What?

0:13:34 > 0:13:36- There's a girl here wearing the exact same dress as you.- I know.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39I asked her if she liked me, well, not exactly that...

0:13:39 > 0:13:41I had a weird conversation with Mac. I thought he said

0:13:41 > 0:13:44you liked me, I thought she was you, so, I asked her if she did.

0:13:44 > 0:13:46But you don't like me, do you?

0:13:46 > 0:13:48Course I don't like you. I mean, I like you,

0:13:48 > 0:13:51- but I don't LIKE you. - I knew he was talking rubbish.

0:13:51 > 0:13:54And then I thought he said that he liked you!

0:13:54 > 0:13:56Mac liked me? That's ridiculous.

0:13:56 > 0:14:00Mac and me - we're totally unsuited.

0:14:00 > 0:14:04Ridicolo. You must have got it wrong.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06The only person Mac is into is himself.

0:14:06 > 0:14:09Leo, vieni. We're on. Swap masks.

0:14:18 > 0:14:22And now, Signore e Signori,

0:14:22 > 0:14:27you have the honour of hearing mio piccolo bambino sing for you.

0:14:27 > 0:14:31I give you Lorenzo de' Medici.

0:14:37 > 0:14:41# You sleep and I keep watch in the storm and the wind

0:14:41 > 0:14:46# On you marble doorstep

0:14:46 > 0:14:52# You sleep and I keep watch I am always in torment

0:14:52 > 0:14:56# I must preserve my heart

0:14:56 > 0:15:04# You sleep and I keep watch and in bitter tones

0:15:04 > 0:15:10# I call on dying pity

0:15:11 > 0:15:18# You sleep and I keep watch and in a moment

0:15:18 > 0:15:21# I melt in tears and weeping

0:15:23 > 0:15:30# You sleep and I keep watch, I am always in torment

0:15:30 > 0:15:35# No-one to console me

0:15:35 > 0:15:37# You sleep and I keep watch

0:15:37 > 0:15:41# I lament alone,

0:15:41 > 0:15:45# That I'll endure life's pain

0:15:45 > 0:15:53# You sleep peacefully without anguish and my eyes never close

0:15:56 > 0:16:01# You sleep and I, cruel one, I lament and weep

0:16:03 > 0:16:09# And die, alas, I die. #

0:16:11 > 0:16:17My son, my wonderful son, who is fast becoming a man.

0:16:17 > 0:16:21And what better way to mark this passage into manhood

0:16:21 > 0:16:22than with a betrothal.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25A what?

0:16:25 > 0:16:29Signore e Signori, may I present my son's future wife,

0:16:29 > 0:16:35the very lovely Angelica Visconti.

0:16:35 > 0:16:39No, wait, I'm not her, I'm just wearing the same dress.

0:16:39 > 0:16:41Lift your mask, dear.

0:16:41 > 0:16:43That's Lisa, isn't it?

0:17:01 > 0:17:04Lorenzo, where's Lorenzo?

0:17:04 > 0:17:05They've taken Lorenzo!

0:17:05 > 0:17:07And his fiancee.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10- No. I'm here.- Then who?

0:17:10 > 0:17:13Porca! Tom! They've got Tom.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15Find him! Find my son!

0:17:21 > 0:17:25Aspetta un momento. This way.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30Move it.

0:17:41 > 0:17:42My life's over.

0:17:42 > 0:17:45I mean, I knew it would happen one day, but not yet.

0:17:45 > 0:17:46I'm too young!

0:17:46 > 0:17:51Santa Maria, will you shut up about your stupid arranged marriage.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53We're being kidnapped!

0:17:53 > 0:17:55Sorry.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58This is an outrage! You will be sorry you dared to abduct

0:17:58 > 0:18:00a Medici. And, I can assure you, you won't get a single florin.

0:18:00 > 0:18:03Big roar from a little lion.

0:18:03 > 0:18:07Well, I have already been paid for what it is that I have to do.

0:18:07 > 0:18:10And what's that?

0:18:10 > 0:18:14Aspetta. My father will pay you more if you release us.

0:18:14 > 0:18:17He will pay you in gold. More gold than you can imagine.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19I'll make sure you get away. They won't catch you.

0:18:19 > 0:18:20We haven't even seen your face.

0:18:20 > 0:18:21Ha!

0:18:21 > 0:18:24You have now.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26Move it!

0:18:46 > 0:18:48Get in.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51Let her go. She isn't even my fiancee!

0:18:51 > 0:18:53Just get in!

0:18:53 > 0:18:59You! Up against the wall where I can see you.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08Run!

0:19:37 > 0:19:40Crowds and Carnevale. What did I tell you?

0:19:40 > 0:19:43Rich pickings for pickpockets.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48Help me, please. I am Lorenzo de' Medici,

0:19:48 > 0:19:50I've been the victim of a scandalous attempt on my life.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53Lorenzo De Medici. Is that so?

0:19:53 > 0:19:56So, if you would be so kind as to escort me back to the Medici palace,

0:19:56 > 0:19:58my father will gladly pay you a handsome reward.

0:19:58 > 0:20:01Sounds very tempting. But, I'll tell you what?

0:20:01 > 0:20:04I think we'd get a whole lot more money from your dear papa

0:20:04 > 0:20:06if we ransomed you.

0:20:06 > 0:20:08Come along, sunshine, you're coming with us.

0:20:08 > 0:20:11You can't be serious, this is ridiculous!

0:20:29 > 0:20:30Where's Lorenzo?

0:20:30 > 0:20:33He's been kidnapped.

0:20:33 > 0:20:38I know he's been kidnapped. You were paid to kidnap him.

0:20:38 > 0:20:39Someone else has got him.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43Where did they take him?

0:20:45 > 0:20:47Go find him!

0:20:50 > 0:20:52It wasn't my fault.

0:20:52 > 0:20:56Save your breath for His Excellency. You're going to need it.

0:20:56 > 0:21:00Move! Move!

0:21:04 > 0:21:07Now, if you don't want to get hurt, sunshine,

0:21:07 > 0:21:11look like you're having a good time.

0:21:11 > 0:21:12Sing!

0:21:12 > 0:21:15- # You sleep and I keep watch... #- Louder!

0:21:15 > 0:21:17# ..in the storm and the wind

0:21:17 > 0:21:21- # On your marble doorstep... # - Buona sera, Officer.

0:21:21 > 0:21:23# You sleep and I keep watch... #

0:21:27 > 0:21:29Tom!

0:21:29 > 0:21:32Somebody else has got Lorenzo, and I've lost them.

0:21:32 > 0:21:34# You sleep and I keep watch... #

0:21:34 > 0:21:36- I don't know which way they went. - Ssh! What was that?

0:21:39 > 0:21:41This way.

0:21:41 > 0:21:46If anything's happened to him, I will never forgive myself.

0:21:46 > 0:21:48Who could have done such a terrible thing?

0:21:48 > 0:21:51Committed such a heinous crime?

0:21:52 > 0:21:56Don't worry, dear wife. Placidi will find him, I know he will.

0:21:58 > 0:22:02Have you got him, have you found my baby?

0:22:05 > 0:22:08What?

0:22:08 > 0:22:09HE WHISPERS

0:22:09 > 0:22:11Is he here?

0:22:11 > 0:22:12In the study.

0:22:21 > 0:22:24Where is he?

0:22:24 > 0:22:27He escaped. Two men took him.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30You're lying.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32No, I swear it!

0:22:32 > 0:22:34I did exactly what you told me to do.

0:22:34 > 0:22:38A boy and a slip of a girl, and they escaped.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43If you've double crossed me...

0:22:43 > 0:22:45I haven't. I swear, I haven't.

0:22:45 > 0:22:52If one hair, one single hair, on my son's head is harmed,

0:22:52 > 0:22:55I will make you pay.

0:22:59 > 0:23:03Let me think, I need to think.

0:23:05 > 0:23:10# You sleep and I keep watch and in bitter tones

0:23:10 > 0:23:11# I call on... #

0:23:11 > 0:23:14Is that an aubergine?! Are you threatening me with a vegetable?

0:23:14 > 0:23:16They can be very dangerous in the wrong hands.

0:23:16 > 0:23:18- LEO:- What like a bad cook, you mean?

0:23:18 > 0:23:20Yeah that sort of thing.

0:23:20 > 0:23:21Now you're for it.

0:23:21 > 0:23:26We didn't mean anything by it. Just a little joke...

0:23:30 > 0:23:32Cowards! Filthy cowards.

0:23:33 > 0:23:36Shall we go after him?

0:23:36 > 0:23:39Just get me back to the palace, please.

0:23:39 > 0:23:40Yeah.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44He's back.

0:23:45 > 0:23:48Va bene, he's back.

0:23:55 > 0:23:57Lucky for you.

0:23:57 > 0:24:02Now, you say exactly what we have agreed.

0:24:02 > 0:24:04If you think you can manage it.

0:24:06 > 0:24:08Grazie a Dio!

0:24:14 > 0:24:18- Are you hurt? - Sono bene, Papa. Leo found me.

0:24:18 > 0:24:20He saved me.

0:24:20 > 0:24:22Grazie! Grazie.

0:24:23 > 0:24:28That's the man, him, he was going to kill us.

0:24:28 > 0:24:32Talk. Talk before I run you through.

0:24:32 > 0:24:35Who hired you?

0:24:35 > 0:24:36The Duke of Milan.

0:24:36 > 0:24:40You lie. Why would the Duke of Milan commit such an outrage?

0:24:40 > 0:24:42Provoke us in this way?

0:24:42 > 0:24:44To stop the wedding.

0:24:44 > 0:24:46And to prevent an alliance between Florence and Pisa.

0:24:46 > 0:24:49He fears our two cities together would be too powerful.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52Would join forces against him. Against Milan.

0:24:52 > 0:24:56I'll kill him. I'll go to Milan and I'll kill him myself.

0:24:56 > 0:24:59No, cousin. True, he has provoked us with this terrible crime.

0:24:59 > 0:25:03But nobody wants a war. I will travel to Milan.

0:25:03 > 0:25:05Talk with the Duke.

0:25:05 > 0:25:07Assure him that Florence wants peace,

0:25:07 > 0:25:09that this alliance changes nothing.

0:25:09 > 0:25:11Very well.

0:25:11 > 0:25:16But, as for you, you shall never see the light of day again.

0:25:16 > 0:25:18We'll take him to the Magistrate.

0:25:24 > 0:25:28And now, of course, you allow me to escape, as agreed, right?

0:25:28 > 0:25:33Of course. Plans go awry, it's not your fault.

0:25:33 > 0:25:37A deal's a deal. So, now we let you escape.

0:25:40 > 0:25:42Go on then. What are you waiting for?

0:26:02 > 0:26:07I need to stop wearing dresses. Gets me in trouble every time.

0:26:07 > 0:26:10Far safer as a boy.

0:26:10 > 0:26:12Cioccolato.

0:26:12 > 0:26:13Grazie.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15Cheers.

0:26:17 > 0:26:21The look on Piero's face when he saw Lorenzo was safe.

0:26:21 > 0:26:23Poor Lorenzo. I don't know what was more of a shock,

0:26:23 > 0:26:25the kidnap or the wedding announcement.

0:26:25 > 0:26:27She wasn't very friendly, was she?

0:26:28 > 0:26:31Snooty. Rude. Arrogant.

0:26:31 > 0:26:34And those are her good points.

0:26:34 > 0:26:35THEY LAUGH

0:26:35 > 0:26:37I better get going.

0:26:45 > 0:26:48MUSIC: "Kiss Me" by Ed Sheeran

0:26:48 > 0:26:51Leo, you know what you asked me at the ball?

0:26:51 > 0:26:54Err...no, what?

0:27:01 > 0:27:06Nothing. Doesn't matter.

0:27:06 > 0:27:08I need to change.

0:27:12 > 0:27:14Night, Leo.

0:27:14 > 0:27:15Night Tom.

0:27:15 > 0:27:18# I'm in love now... #
