(observing the bodies) You planned this massacre thoroughly.
If I had planned it, my Lord, believe me, we would not be having this conversation.
You're that meticulous?
Always. (removes a dagger from a body and throws it aside)
And who planned it?
Cardinal Orsini.
And Della Rovere?
I know nothing of him. In this affair, I had but one master. (leans against the wall to catch his breath)
And now?...
And now, I am like a stray dog- masterless. (glances at Cesare) Unless your kind offer still stands.
You could've... let things take their course, betrayed me. Most of your kind do.
My kind? (pause) I do not have a "kind". (glances at his bloody hands, then back to Cesare) And, I suspect, neither do you.
(sheathes his dagger, approaches) Your name, sweet assassin?
(straightens up)... Micheletto.
You must prove yourself worthy of my trust, then.
(gestures to the pile of corpses) This is not proof enough?
Perhaps... perhaps not. Can you dispose of these corpses?
You would keep them secret?
More than that- I would keep you secret. (pause) Dump them in the Tiber- meet me at the Vatican gates in two hours' time. We shall discuss your future service.
