(returns to her apartments after her midnight meeting with Paolo) Is he sleeping, nurse? (pulls back the curtains around her son's bed to reveal Cesare sitting next to it)
(mildly disapproving) He did miss his mother.
(shocked) Cesare!
You have a lover, Sis?
No, Brother. (closes the curtains, walks around the cradle) But, this child has a father.
A stablehand.
...Who has come to Rome.
Ah- unwise.
You disapprove?
Not yet, but I know those who would.
My father-
Your brother.
(sighs, sprawls over her own bed) My husband whipped him. My brother would flay him.
Cesare Borgia': Which is why you go out hooded.
At night, like a phantom. (pause, she sighs, Cesare looks down) Cesare, he suffered for me in absolute silence. He would've died for me. The least I can do is let him see his child-
You loved him, Sis?
(smiles slightly)... I did. Perhaps, I do.
(stands, approaches her) Then you must see him.
You would help me?
(sprawls over the bed next to her) Once, and only once. Just... tell me what to do.
Find us a room, where we can spend one night together away from prying eyes-
(meets her eyes) One night. You promise?
I promise.
(pause) Go to our mother's house, tomorrow evening. She needs to see her grandchild, does she not?
(smiles) And?...
Leave the rest to me.
