0:01:03 > 0:01:04KNOCK ON DOOR
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Machiavelli!
0:01:11 > 0:01:13All right, keep your wig on...
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Machiavelli!
0:01:16 > 0:01:17What?
0:01:17 > 0:01:21My name is Salvatore Landucci. I have something to show you.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- Is this what I think it is? - Depends what you think it is.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26The Lost Dragon of Mesopotamia.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30- It's not lost, because I know where it is.- Where?
0:01:30 > 0:01:32All right, I don't know exactly where it is.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34My brother went to look and now he's disappeared.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36They say the dragon's cursed.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- Yes, I've read something about that...- So what do you want from me?
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Help to find the treasure, and my brother, of course.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44I'll pay you well.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45Why me?
0:01:45 > 0:01:49I told people I needed help and they all said, "Niccolo Machiavelli.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50"He's your man."
0:01:51 > 0:01:54The dragon's location is hidden by a series of clues.
0:01:54 > 0:01:55My brother left this behind.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- I've been trying to solve it for days.- Let me see.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Can you decode it?
0:02:02 > 0:02:06Uh... Yeah. Sure, sure. Just let me get a second opinion...
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- It's a basic substitution cipher. - Yeah, that's what I thought.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Each letter stands for another. You just need a key...a word...
0:02:16 > 0:02:17What kind of word?
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Maybe something to do with dragons, or monsters...
0:02:19 > 0:02:21The dragon's name is Humbaba.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Humbaba, 'course it is. Everyone knows that.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28H-U-M-B-A-B-A.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32OK.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Excellency! Excellency! Excellency! The Duke has been injured!
0:02:44 > 0:02:45Not dead?
0:02:45 > 0:02:48They're bringing him here. Scarpa only wounded him.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Is it fatal?
0:02:50 > 0:02:54Oh! My poor, dear cousin!
0:02:56 > 0:03:02Never fear, you will survive this terrible outrage.
0:03:02 > 0:03:07You will have the best care possible. Quickly, fetch the doctor.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Got it. I stand in the Piazza.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Three hours before noon, I point the way.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Looks like I went to the wrong expert.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26What's that supposed to mean?
0:03:26 > 0:03:29You've done nothing. Leonardo is the person I need.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Oh, look, you've made and agreement with Mac.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34My brother might be dead!
0:03:34 > 0:03:37- What?- My brother, he solved the clue without me
0:03:37 > 0:03:38and went to find the dragon on his own.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42- I fear the curse has taken him. - Now you're suddenly worried about your brother(!)
0:03:42 > 0:03:44It's you that doesn't care about him.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48All he cares about is the money. Please, you have to help me find him.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- This so-called brother of yours, what's his name anyway?- Adriano.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52What's the problem, Mac?
0:03:52 > 0:03:56- He's jealous. Leo, please just ignore him.- I'm not jealous!
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- You are being kind of unsympathetic. - Look, you may be cleverer than me,
0:03:59 > 0:04:02but there's some things you don't see.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04- What and you do?- Yeah. Yeah, I do. - Like what?
0:04:04 > 0:04:06There's something odd about this brother story -
0:04:06 > 0:04:10- I'm not convinced he even has a brother.- Who's this then?
0:04:10 > 0:04:12He's suspicious of everyone.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14And you're naive. There's something not right here.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- And if you had any sense at all, you'd listen to me.- Andiamo.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Fine. But don't expect me to come with you.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23I'm sure we'll manage without you.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24Fine.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30You know, you remind me of my brother - he's a genius too.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33So busy inventing things, he forgets to eat.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Hey! Lorenzo!
0:04:37 > 0:04:38Lorenzo de'Medici.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Keep your voice down. I'm trying to hide from the guards.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42- Who's your mate? - This is Salvat...
0:04:42 > 0:04:44No one important, Master Lorenzo.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46His brother's missing, we're trying to find him.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47Sounds fun. I might tag along.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Surely a Medici has greater demands on his time.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53No. I'm supposed to be composing romantic poetry for my fiancee,
0:04:53 > 0:04:55hence hiding from the guards.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59But you're Lorenzo de'Medici! Lorenzo de'Medici!
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- What did you do that for? - Master Medici.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08We don't need anyone slowing us down.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Look, that must be the next clue.
0:05:12 > 0:05:17He's pointing that way. Let's go. Leonardo?
0:05:17 > 0:05:21The clue said, "Three hours before noon I point the way."
0:05:21 > 0:05:22That's in two hours time.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26You're the genius, but I really don't think he's going to move.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Maybe not...but that will.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32As the sun moves in the sky, the shadow will point somewhere new.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35So we've got to wait another two hours? We haven't got time...
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Pass me the spoon - the long one.
0:05:43 > 0:05:49In two hours' time, the sun will be approximately there,
0:05:49 > 0:05:54meaning that the shadow will point...there.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Master Lorenzo. Can you come with me please?
0:06:09 > 0:06:12That's not fair. Two against one, that's hardly sporting behaviour.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16We have and emergency situation, Master Lorenzo.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49The Duke has been wounded by a Milanese arrow.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53You're a prime target for murder or kidnap.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Oh. Well, in that case,
0:06:55 > 0:06:59- I better come back to the palace with you after all.- Yeah, right.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Someone else has done this recently.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Adriano! I told you, you're exactly like him!
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Ha-ha!
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- It's some sort of...- Pattern. - It's a street map of Florence.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41And that is where we're going next.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- Scusi, Maestro. Where's Leonardo? - How should I know?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46I thought perhaps you'd sent him on an errand.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49I've given up sending that boy on errands.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51He tends to get distracted.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54HE WHISTLES
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- Have you seen Leo?- Yeah. While you were sleeping,
0:07:58 > 0:08:01he went on a quest to find the cursed silver dragon of Mesopotamia.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- No, really. Where is he?- Really. - I need to start getting up earlier.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07I don't trust the guy he went off with.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08So you just let him go?
0:08:08 > 0:08:11No. I tried to stop him, but you know what Leo's like.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18Maestro, I think I know where Leonardo is. May I go and fetch him?
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Please do. And tell him he's in very deep trouble.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23I really hope that's not true.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Are you sure this is right?
0:08:36 > 0:08:38This is the place.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44There's something here, something in the ground.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48- Fantastico! Here. - No, too easy.- What?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50The dragon's not going to be buried here.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Any fool could find it.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04A map with no destination.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Hold that.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10This used to be a fountain.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Look at the design - 300, 400 years old
0:09:24 > 0:09:26That is our next stop.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- That's the city tower. - That's right.- Andiamo.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- See there are street smarts... - Which we've got...
0:09:34 > 0:09:36In abundance, and then there's Leo smarts...
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- Which we haven't got at all. - Don't underestimate yourself.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40I know he thinks we haven't, with his,
0:09:40 > 0:09:42"I'm the only one who can solve puzzles" attitude.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- But I know exactly where they went. - How?
0:09:45 > 0:09:47See that statue? It's the next clue.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50"I stand in the Piazza and point the way."
0:09:50 > 0:09:55It's pointing at the palace. See? This isn't so difficult.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Who needs Leo?
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- Maybe the clue's inside the tower? - No. Inside is too...
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Too easy. Right.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24No X, no nothing. What do we do?
0:10:26 > 0:10:27Are you sure this is...?
0:10:27 > 0:10:32It's here. Whatever it is, it's here, we're just not seeing it.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Whoever set this trail is testing us to see how far we'll go.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38You're the genius, but any farther than that looks like a bad idea.
0:10:38 > 0:10:43It's testing how badly we want this.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- Hold my legs. - What?
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- I've got it! - What is it? Can you see the dragon?
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- Porca miseria, attenzione! - Scusi.
0:11:03 > 0:11:08320...leagues is too far, it must be steps.
0:11:08 > 0:11:13- Flying...sun...that's outside the city gates.- What?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16It's a riddle - 320 steps to where the bird flies,
0:11:16 > 0:11:20180 to the sun's rise, you got it?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22South and east.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Birds fly south in the winter, the sun rises in the east -
0:11:25 > 0:11:26it's another set of directions.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29How clever. And that's where we'll find the dragon?
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Adriano will be there. We will save him
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Yes, my poor brother, of course.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44- What exactly are we looking for? - Try to think like Leo.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49What would he do in this situation?
0:11:49 > 0:11:53- I have literally no idea. - Well, that could be a problem.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56DOOR CLOSES
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- Lorenzo! Over here. - Santa Maria! What are you doing?
0:12:08 > 0:12:12You've not seen a dragon by any chance? About this high, silver.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Get out of here! The guards will kill you!
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Relax. We've snuck into the palace loads of times.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- We've never get caught. - Hardly ever.- Hardly ever.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Have you heard the news? The Duke has been shot.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26If the guards see, you they'll take you for assassins and kill you.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- Lorenzo! - Go! Presto!
0:12:33 > 0:12:35151, 152, 153.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51Come on. 159, 160, 161, 162, 163...
0:13:04 > 0:13:06This is it.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23Adriano!
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Adriano Landucci!
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- Are you sure this is it? - It's got to be.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35So, basically, we need to go down, down there, into that deep,
0:13:35 > 0:13:37dark bottomless pit of nothingness.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Well, yes, if you want to find your brother.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Doesn't need both of us to go down.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- Perhaps, one of us should stay up here.- Yeah, maybe you're right.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Then one of us can get help if something goes wrong.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- I should go. He's my brother. - OK.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Although, once again, thinking about it...
0:13:53 > 0:13:57There could be anything down there. I mean...a clue, for instance.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59What if there was another clue down there?
0:13:59 > 0:14:03- I won't be able to solve it. - You're right - I'd better go down.
0:14:37 > 0:14:38Adriano Landucci.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47Are you here?
0:14:58 > 0:14:59Adriano!
0:15:24 > 0:15:26HE SCREAMS
0:15:28 > 0:15:30- Leo! - Ciao.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Leo, are you all right?
0:15:54 > 0:15:55Bellissimo.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07Leonardo?
0:16:14 > 0:16:15Ready?
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Well, let's hope you're not cursed, otherwise I am in big...
0:16:56 > 0:16:59- How did you find me? - What?
0:16:59 > 0:17:00How did you find me?
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- I followed the clues. - Impossibile!
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- You did it. - Well, I'm a genius.- Oh, right.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Who but a genius could succeed in finding the silver
0:17:09 > 0:17:10dragon of Mesopotamia?
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Then again, you have found yourself stuck at the bottom of a big hole.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- A miscalculation.- Perhaps if you hadn't left your brother behind,
0:17:16 > 0:17:18- he could have helped. - You're in league with him.
0:17:18 > 0:17:23- He sent you here to steal my dragon. - No.- What have you done with her?
0:17:23 > 0:17:24I sent it up to Salvatore.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27He will explain everything once he's pulled us out.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30And when will that be, exactly?
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Stupido. He came to steal the dragon, not rescue me.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37No. You're wrong. He will let us out.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Look, here's the rope now.
0:17:46 > 0:17:47Ciao!
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Salvatore!
0:17:52 > 0:17:53Arrivederci.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Salvatore!
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Salvatore!
0:18:04 > 0:18:08OK, we need to think. Perhaps there's another way out.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09We should look.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Oh, that's a good idea.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Wonder why I didn't think of that during the week I've been
0:18:14 > 0:18:16- trapped here. - OK. There's no way out.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19But I have a friend - he knows I went off with Salvatore.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21He'll come. He'll find us.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26We're never going to find him. I give up, it's hopeless.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Wherever Leo's got to, he's on his own.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32But did you actually tell him where you were going?
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Not exactly...no. No, no, I didn't.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38I said I didn't need him.
0:18:38 > 0:18:43I think my exact words were, "We'll manage without you."
0:18:48 > 0:18:50He's going to be all right, isn't he?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52'Course. He's Leo, he's always all right.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54He's probably found the dragon
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- and gone off celebrating with...that's him!- Leo?
0:18:57 > 0:18:58The guy who went off with him.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Why is he on his own? Salvatore Landucci!
0:19:01 > 0:19:03- What are you going to do? - Get the truth out of him.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Hey! Salvatore!
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Oh! There you are, my friend.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16I've... I've been searching for you everywhere.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20- Where's Leo? - He is...dead!
0:19:23 > 0:19:27- You're lying... - Try to contain your grief, Tomaso.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30The curse, it's taken my brother and now your friend.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32We will never see their like again.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36And the two silver dragons of Mesopotamia are both lost forever.
0:19:36 > 0:19:43Yes. Well, one. Only one silver dragon of Mesopotamia.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47There are two. While you were gone, I read up on the legend.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51The dragon Humbaba had a brother, Chim-hoho.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54The two are hidden together. Each alone is valuable,
0:19:54 > 0:19:57but the pair would make their owner the richest man on earth.
0:19:57 > 0:19:58Really?
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Not that it matters. They are both lost, and so is Leonardo!
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Oh, it is a tragedy, a tragedy.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11You...definitely sure there were two?
0:20:11 > 0:20:15- Yes, not that it matters. - It matters not at all.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19And now we must mourn our dead friend.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23And I my brother. Farewell.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33You see? Who needs to follow lots of fancy clues
0:20:33 > 0:20:35when you can follow one greedy idiot?
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Mac, you're the best liar I've ever met.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Grazie.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42Prego.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48How is he, doctor?
0:20:48 > 0:20:52He's a lucky man. The arrow missed his heart by less than an inch.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- Is he going to die? - He has a fighting spirit.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58If anyone can survive such a thing, he can.
0:20:58 > 0:21:03But, for now, all we can do is sit with him, talk to him,
0:21:03 > 0:21:05keep his spirits up.
0:21:05 > 0:21:06Yes, father.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Just don't tire him out.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Your Grace.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Uncle.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30It's me, Lorenzo.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40I see they've taken the arrow out - that's got to be a relief.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49When I had my rotten tooth out,
0:21:49 > 0:21:51they let me keep it
0:21:51 > 0:21:52in a little jar.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11- Beetle? They're surprisingly juicy. - No, thanks.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14You might not be so fussy after a few days down here.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16I don't eat any animals.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20No animals? I see. Hope you like cobwebs.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24There's no way out, you know.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27If I can't find one, no-one can. I'm a genius.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30You've mentioned that already - several times.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35Look!
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Oi! What...! Oi!
0:22:38 > 0:22:39Get off!
0:22:52 > 0:22:56Hello? Anyone here?
0:22:56 > 0:22:57Where else would we be?
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Adriano, you're alive! Oh, thank the Lord!
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Oi! You left us here to rot.
0:23:04 > 0:23:09No, no. I was merely transporting the dragon to a safe location.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Now I've come back for you two... And the other dragon, of course.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17- What other dragon? - Now...you're playing games with me.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19There's no second dragon.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Oh, I see what's going on here.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24The two geniuses have formed a little alliance against me.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26This is totally insane.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28I'm not leaving without the second dragon.
0:23:28 > 0:23:34OK, Salvatore, you win. The second dragon is just over there.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Can't the two of you see what you're doing?
0:23:48 > 0:23:49Leo!
0:24:05 > 0:24:08OK. You warned me and I didn't listen - I was stupid.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09Yep, and arrogant.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12- You're never going to let me forget this, are you?- No.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- You're too trusting. - Oh, here we go.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17E vero. When you've live on the streets like us...
0:24:17 > 0:24:18You get to read people.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21And understand their tics - whether they're lying or
0:24:21 > 0:24:23telling the truth.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25I wonder what he did with the dragon.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28- Who cares? That thing was cursed. - What?- You're not serious, are you?
0:24:28 > 0:24:29You saw what it did to those two.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32If that's not a curse, I don't know what is.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35I know - why don't we both climb up together?
0:24:35 > 0:24:38- Too heavy - the rope would snap. - Why should I trust you?
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Well, why should I trust you? I'll go first.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44No, I'll go first.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46No, I'll go first.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48No, I'll go first.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52- No, I'll go first! - No, I'll go first!
0:24:53 > 0:24:56My father will find those Milanese mur...
0:24:56 > 0:24:59attempted murderers, and bring them to justice.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Thank you, Lorenzo.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Now, I need a moment with the Duke in private.
0:25:08 > 0:25:09Yes, father.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15You should prepare yourself for the worst.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Cousin? Can you hear me?
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Take some of this.
0:25:44 > 0:25:50I was deeply shocked when I heard what had happened to you, cousin.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54That you should be wounded by an arrow.
0:25:54 > 0:25:59Wounded, when I gave strict instructions that they should
0:25:59 > 0:26:01shoot to kill.
0:26:03 > 0:26:08Still, there is a certain benefit to their incompetence.
0:26:09 > 0:26:15This way, I get the satisfaction of finishing the job myself.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Every cloud, and all that.
0:26:26 > 0:26:27Later today,
0:26:27 > 0:26:33I will announce your tragic death to the people of Florence.
0:26:33 > 0:26:39They will cry out for revenge against Milan, and for a strong new leader.
0:26:43 > 0:26:48My son, Rocco...he will be Duke.
0:26:51 > 0:26:57You're delirious. Your son's dead, you silly old duffer.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Lost at sea years ago.
0:27:04 > 0:27:09Medicine. Medicine...
0:27:16 > 0:27:21Whatever gave you the idea that this was medicine?
0:27:29 > 0:27:30I'm sorry, Lorenzo.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34He lost the fight.
