  •  

  • 1476. The dawn of a new era for Italy.

  •  

  • Art, culture and science are flourishing under the guidance of inspired minds.

  •  

  • Renaissance.

  •  

  • This is probably the way history will remember us.

  •  

  • But in the shadows far from the gold, and the knowledge, lies another truth.

  •  

  • Corruption.

  •  

  • Betrayal.

  •  

  • Murder.

  •  

  • Secrets.

  •  

  • Secrets so dangerous that I must hide them even from my own family.

  •  

  • Family, justice, honor.

  •  

  • These are the values guiding my blade.

  •  

  • This truth is written in blood and the shadows are where I strike.

  •  

  • I am Giovanni Auditore,

  •  

  • and like my ancestors before me,

  •  

  • I am an assassin.

  •  

  • You're coming with me. Avanti (Come on)!

  •  

  • I stopped them before they left Florence. Unfortunately, Your Magnificence, the 4th man escaped.

  •  

  • What have you heard, Giovanni?

  •  

  • Rumors.

  •  

  • About an important event that will cause a shift of power.

  •  

  • That man you captured, has he spoken yet?

  •  

  • He will tell us what he knows.

  •  

  • When?

  •  

  • Tell me when!

  •  

  • In Milano, on the day of Christmas.

  •  

  • The high mass for The Feast of Santo Stefano.

  •  

  • When?

  •  

  • When the echo of the choir becomes louder. At the altar.

  •  

  • When the bell rings for the 12th and last time.

  •  

  • Sic transit gloria mundi (So passes the glory of the world).

  •  

  • At the altar, the echo of the choir becomes louder.

  •  

  • When the bell rings for the 12th and last time,

  •  

  • The Duke of Milano

  •  

  • will die.

  •  

  • Hurry!

  •  

  • Stop! Stop!

  •  

  • Don't kill him!

  •  

  • Amori (Darling).

  •  

  • Ezio's learning fast.

  •  

  • He reminds me of you.

  •  

  • Ezio, remember, you need to think ahead.

  •  

  • Don't wait for your opponent to move. Anticipate and surprise him.

  •  

  • How are you, father?

  •  

  • Good, good.

  •  

  • - Father. - Federico.

  •  

  • With the death of the Duke of Milano, Lorenzo de Medici has lost a powerful ally.

  •  

  • I am sure that his enemies already plot their next move.

  •  

  • Sforza's death was not the end.

  •  

  • It was just the beginning.

  •  

  • And I know where to fight my next battle.

  •  

  • You have served us well in the past.

  •  

  • That is why we are entrusting you to send this letter to our master.

  •  

  • Perfect. It's just perfect.

  •  

  • After all these years, our time has come, cousin.

  •  

  • Yes.

  •  

  • You must protect this letter with your life until it is delivered, do you understand me?

  •  

  • Go to Campo San Anzolo.

  •  

  • Next to the wine merchant there is a statue.

  •  

  • Our man will be waiting for you there.

  •  

  • Do not fail us.

  •  

  • In faccio fiducia (I have faith in you).

  •  

  • What are your masters plotting?

  •  

  • Speak!

  •  

  • God as my witness, I will cut your throat.

  •  

  • My life is not yours to take. And my secrets come with me.

  •  

  • See you in hell!

  •  

  • Fool.

  •  

  • Giovanni, did you find anything in Venice?

  •  

  • I intercepted this letter.

  •  

  • Take a look, your Magnificence.

  •  

  • It bears the seal of the Barbarigos.

  •  

  • I never trusted them.

  •  

  • Gonfaloniere (Chief Magistrate).

  •  

  • An encrypted letter.

  •  

  • It will take several hours to unlock its secrets.

  •  

  • I'll send for you when it's done, Giovanni.

  •  

  • Get some rest.

  •  

  • Father Maffei.

  •  

  • You broke the code. That's good.

  •  

  • I knew you wouldn't disappoint me, Father Maffei.

  •  

  • Go fetch Giovanni.

  •  

  • Tell him he will need to travel shortly.

  •  

  • I will wake Lorenzo. And Father...

  •  

  • Remember, you owe us your silence.

  •  

  • Secrets are born here.

  •  

  • And they die here.

  •  

  • No one is to know about the content of this letter.

  •  

  • Capisce (Understand)?

  •  

  • Good, you can go now.

  •  

  • Grazie (Thank you).

  •  

  • Come back to us soon.

  •  

  • I promise.

  •  

  • Our son is watching.

  •  

  • I know.

  •  

  • You should talk to him.

  •  

  • I will.

  •  

  • Tell me, papa, why is it that a banker leaves so often in the middle of the night?

  •  

  • - Business calls, son. - Let me come with you.

  •  

  • No.

  •  

  • Why not?

  •  

  • I need you to assist your brother.

  •  

  • Take care of the family while I'm away.

  •  

  • I want to help you, father.

  •  

  • You help me more than you know, Ezio.

  •  

  • More than you know.

  •  

  • Because we broke the seal of the original letter,

  •  

  • we had to make an exact copy.

  •  

  • Father Edmundi is working on one as we speak.

  •  

  • - Why? - We were unable to decipher it.

  •  

  • The only way to unlock the secrets of this letter...

  •  

  • and find out who masterminded Sforza's assassination...

  •  

  • is to deliver it and see where it will lead us.

  •  

  • Your Magnificence...

  •  

  • I know exactly where in Rome the Barbarigos wanted the letter to be delivered.

  •  

  • I can go.

  •  

  • Father Maffei, is it ready?

  •  

  • Rome is a dangerous city, my dear Giovanni.

  •  

  • Are you sure you want to carry out this mission without any help?

  •  

  • Yes. For the safety of Florence.

  •  

  • And the honor of the Medici.

  •  

  • So be it.

  •  

  • Go and find the pit where these snakes hide.

  •  

  • And be merciless.

  •  

  • May the Father Of Understanding be with us.

  •  

  • Amen.

  •  

  • Has Rodrigo Borgia become a messenger now?

  •  

  • Not necessarily, Your Holiness.

  •  

  • The death of the Duke of Milano changes many things.

  •  

  • - Is it really? - The alliances of men are fragile.

  •  

  • Even the cities can change hands as easily as money.

  •  

  • As long as God is on our side.

  •  

  • Amen.

  •  

  • I am told that...

  •  

  • Lorenzo de Medici does not show much respect for our position.

  •  

  • That is true. But you can force them to obey you.

  •  

  • Florence is weak now. We should take advantage of it.

  •  

  • - With your help... - It is not part of my office to consent to the death of anyone.

  •  

  • But my concern is the greater good of the Republic of Florence.

  •  

  • Therefore I am prepared to offer my spiritual support.

  •  

  • And military help.

  •  

  • To ensure order is maintained.

  •  

  • Preserve the honor of the Holy See, Rodrigo.

  •  

  • You can count on me, Your Holiness.

  •  

  • I'm looking for the man who just came in.

  •  

  • You must have seen him. Where did he go?

  •  

  • It has been very quiet here today.

  •  

  • I have seen no other man besides you.

  •  

  • A hood covered his face. He wore black clothes.

  •  

  • I cannot help you. Maybe God can.

  •  

  • Pray.

  •  

  • And you will find the answer.

  •  

  • Your blade won't be enough, assassin.

  •  

  • What happens now is up to you.

  •  

  • You have a unique set of skills.

  •  

  • Giovanni. That's your name, isn't it?

  •  

  • A set of skills I'd be delighted to have on my side.

  •  

  • And what side is that?

  •  

  • The side that is going to win a war you don't even know has begun yet.

  •  

  • The world is changing under your feet, Giovanni.

  •  

  • Join us, and you may live to see it.

  •  

  • Borgia. Yes, I know your name, too.

  •  

  • I also know how this is going to end.

  •  

  • With your fantasy in ruins, and an assassin's blade in your throat.

  •  

  • We shall see.

  •  

  • He's all yours. Get him!

  •  

  • Kill him!

  •  

  • That blade almost pierced your heart.

  •  

  • You haven't spoken a word since you've returned.

  •  

  • What's going on, Giovanni?

  •  

  • Tell me.

  •  

  • Sforza's assassination was just the beginning.

  •  

  • This is a vast conspiracy, Maria.

  •  

  • I'm pretty sure the next step will occur here, in Florence.

  •  

  • Madonna mia (Oh my God).

  •  

  • I'm concerned for the Medici's safety,

  •  

  • For his allies' fate and for our own...

  •  

  • Papa!

  •  

  • Papa. Father Maffei is here.

  •  

  • He wants you to come with him immediately.

  •  

  • He's not alone. Armed men are with him.

  •  

  • Calmati, figlio (Calm down, son).

  •  

  • Why would Lorenzo de Medici send guards for you?

  •  

  • Why?

  •  

  • I don't know.

  •  

  • Go back and tell Maffei that I'm already gone.

  •  

  • Buy me some time.

  •  

  • Federico. I'm depending on you.

  •  

  • You're the eldest.

  •  

  • Protect the family.

  •  

  • Go.

  •  

  • [indistinct yelling]

  •  

  • Put me down!

  •  

  • I told you my father isn't here.

  •  

  • Now!

  •  

  • And don't ever doubt the words of an Auditore again.

  •  

  • Leave this place now!

  •  

  • [arguing in Italian]

  •  

  • Calm down!

  •  

  • Our main problem is that damned assassin!

  •  

  • His investigation threatens our plans!

  •  

  • Don't worry. I'll deal with Giovanni.

  •  

  • I've already got something in mind.

  •  

  • And then, nothing will stand in our way anymore.

  •  

  • "My dear sons..."

  •  

  • "Dark skies are rising over Florence and time is running low."

  •  

  • "The enemy is closer than I thought."

  •  

  • "Now, the final battle is about to unfold."

  •  

  • "Every man is mortal. Every life comes to an end."

  •  

  • "But certain things will never change."

  •  

  • "Federico and Ezio, my sons..."

  •  

  • "Always remember, we are the Auditore da Firenze"

  •  

  • "And we are assassins."

  •
