"Have faith that my plans proceed as they must." "I intend to take my rightful place at the appropriate time." "The Bible has offered me no guidance here." "So you've turned to another book?" "Oh, Lupo." "The Book of Leaves is a distraction." "Here my brother and I agree." "Your brother has hidden the page from me." "Locked it away in the bowels of the secret archives, forbidden me from even touching it." "It cannot solve the world's ills." "The world may be broken beyond repair, Francesco." "It is our only recourse." "Do not raise suspicion." "And do not abandon me." "The Devil sits on the papal throne and your place is at my side." "The era of scholarly reflection is over." "What the Lord needs, when the time comes, is a man of action." "Should I pray for another?" "Or are you that man?" "Of course I am," "Your Holiness." "How is the girl?" "Vanessa is fine." "Her child as well." "Good." "I hear there is an open position in the bank." "Signor Sassetti has left us quite abruptly." "Finance is a stressful business." "I am grateful for a reliable partner in our business." "The servants know about Lorenzo and Lucrezia." "Clearly they know about us." "I do appreciate however that for women reputation is a delicate thing." "Are you sure you know what you're doing?" "What I'm doing... is what I damn well please." "What now?" "A pair of keyholes and a key that separates into two." "Finally, a simple solution." "Hey." "Unhand me." "Unhand me first." "They took our weapons." "This one I took back." "From Zita's body." "You cock-sucker." "I knew we couldn't trust him." "No, your friends understand the value of my presence, where you are simply a dog with a bone." "Zo didn't want you inserting the key prematurely." "In case it activates a river of lava or... venomous snakes." "Or some other fucking catastrophe." "I see." "So you really imagine the architects of this structure would use the same deception twice." "It doesn't matter." "Zo meant you no harm." "None of us do." "We're in this together." "And what then, Nico?" "Do you truly imagine your Maestro would ever share what's behind these doors with me?" "With the savage he wed only for a chance at the book." "I do." "Then you've learnt nothing." "It's far easier to hate than to trust." "I learned that lesson on our voyage here." "From a woman you loved." "Give me the dagger." "And what of him?" "Zo, tell him we're on the same side." "Tell him!" "Fine." "Yeah, yeah." "Yes." "Get the fucking blade off me." "Guard it well." "Now we have a riddle to decipher." "There are no markings, no clues, to illuminate which key goes in what hole." "There's a simple solution." "Why don't you let someone who can pick a lock while drowning at sea take a look?" "Dogs and their tricks." "The weapon my father employs for ceremonies is an artful replica constructed to disguise the loss of the true sword." "If any of our subjects knew this had gone missing..." "I understand." "We discovered it languishing in the corridors of the Vatican." "His Holiness was ashamed to keep it from its rightful home." "I pray this gift demonstrates our good intentions, Bey-effendi." "And what is it you want in return?" "To bring you to Rome." "Me?" "You." "The future of the Ottoman Empire." "It's common knowledge that my half-brother Cem is the favored child of my father the Sultan." "But you are the first-born and you carry the blood and now the blade of Osman the First." "Some might say it is your destiny to rule." "You dare suggest I kill my brother?" "I merely offer you a chance to demonstrate to your father that you are the most deserving heir." "Imagine a future where the Ottomans ruled the East and the Vatican rules the West." "This glory could be yours if you are brave enough to forge peace." "There is no need to spill another drop of Ottoman blood." "There is no need to repeat what happened to your brother." "Cem has been nothing but fortunate his entire life." "That is not the brother I meant." "Forgive me, Bey-effendi, if I misspoke." "You cannot be blamed for your doubts." "Perhaps we should approach your father or Cem instead." "Wait." "It's his key in that hole." "This one in the other." "Good work." "Yeah." "I fucking hope so." "(Brief whirring)" "Perhaps they need to be turned simultaneously." "On three." "One, two, three." "(Brief whirring)" "Nothing." "Good evening, gentlemen." "His Holiness has forbidden access, Your Grace." "No matter." "(Coughing)" "No openings." "And no engravings." "Anyone who wins their way past this threshold will behold the Book of Leaves itself." "So we have to evince at least a rudimentary level of understanding..." "Oh... wait..." "Oh, the engineering's amazing." "No wonder that the natives believed that their land was visited by gods." "Two keyholes, two keys, and the only thing tying them together..." "One sun." "What?" "We must turn the keys when the light falls upon them." "Doors don't have eyes." "These might." "There must be a pattern." "On my word." "Now!" "(Whirring)" "(Mutters)" "Well..." "The keys, they just need to be turned and held." "Wait for it." "Wait for it." "Now!" "Keep them turned." "What is this place?" "There were giants in the earth in those days." "Perhaps these are the Nephilims, the offspring of the sons of God and the daughters of man and they created this vault." "Well, I'm normally opposed to assuming every wonder must have supernatural origins but all of this..." "No other way out but heaven." "Well, I believe those symbols may imply there are other ways out of here." "Perhaps like the Abyssinian, my mother found one of them." "Let's get what we came here for." "Leonardo..." "Did you hear that?" "Not a sound." "I offer you the services of my companion to guide you to Rome." "And if it pleases you" "I will remain here and await word of your success and as surety of our trust in each other." "That trust only goes so far." "Keep her under guard outside the city gates." "She will not receive a single visitor." "She will not exchange a single message." "Bey-effendi, I have put myself at great risk in coming here to you and yet you repay me with incarceration?" "I am the son of the Sultan about to embark on a journey to the den of my sworn enemy." "Do not speak to me of risk." "This is not what we agreed upon." "Charm, beauty, intelligence." "I cannot trust a woman with so many weapons at her disposal." "There's someone here." "I heard a voice." "There is nothing." "Just listen." "Listen carefully." "There's someone..." "No, no no!" "Ssh, ssh." "Just listen carefully." "There is nothing." "Ssh." "(Speaks Quechua)" "There's someone here with us!" "There's someone here." "What have you done to my friends?" "It is you who have caused them pain." "You enter the vault without me by your side?" "No, no, wait, wait." "Don't do this." "(Mutters)" "No, no!" "Fine." "I'm sorry, my Dreamer." "My visions were very clear." "You were to lead me to this point and I, in turn, would lead my people to salvation." "No matter the cost." "So are we not joined as one?" "From the moment you arrived, it's been obvious your heart belongs to another." "(Speaks Quechua)" "(WOMAN) Leonardo!" "You heard that." "I did." "(Speaks Quechua)" "That's my mother." "No!" "That's my mother!" "No!" "♪" "♪"
