The Borgias, Season Two

Cesare Borgia:
(triumphantly, brandishing the forged confession) Holy Father, I bring you the signed confession of the heretic Girolamo Savanarola of Florence! (he sees Juan's body and stops) What happened?

Rodrigo Borgia/Alexander VI:
(gestures to Juan tearfully) He was... dragged from the Tiber. Dogs, cats... the stillborn offspring of prostitutes... and our son. (turns away)

Cesare Borgia:
Leave us, Cardinals. (Sforza, Piccolomini and Versucci exit)

Rodrigo Borgia/Alexander VI:
(embraces Cesare) Who would do such a thing? Who would dare?! Who had cause to wish him harm?

Lucrezia Borgia:
(coolly, staring down at her brother's body) Any one of the many he harmed. (Julia and Vanozza stare at her)

Rodrigo Borgia/Alexander VI:
(spins around) What? (Cesare releases him and moves towards Lucrezia) What did you say?

Lucrezia Borgia:
(looks away) Nothing, Father.

Rodrigo Borgia/Alexander VI:
(angrily) What do you say?!

Lucrezia Borgia:
(finally meets his eye) You asked, "who would do such a thing?" The answer is many people, Father. Many people.

Rodrigo Borgia/Alexander VI:
(shocked and offended)...That does not stand! (gestures at Juan) Here lies your brother- murdered, in cold blood! And, you speak as if... (looks in disbelief at Cesare, Julia and Vanozza) "Many people?!" Many people, you say? Do you count yourself among that number?!

Lucrezia Borgia:
I-

Cesare Borgia:
Father-

Rodrigo Borgia/Alexander VI:
LET HER SPEAK!

Lucrezia Borgia:
(steps forward, tearful and angry) What would you have me say?! You know what he did to me! What he took from me- you all do! And you stood by, for the honor of the family. (pause) I have wished him dead a thousand times. And now, you want me to mourn him? I'm sorry, Father, I cannot. (she steps back, next to Cesare)

Rodrigo Borgia/Alexander VI:
(stunned, hurt and angry, to Cesare)... And you? He was your brother- you show no tears? Are you stone?

Cesare Borgia:
... I wept them all out for him, long ago. Over and over, I watched him fail, and I wept. (resentfully) You should know- you were there. And still, you- you granted him your every favor!
