00:06♪♪
00:11The Pope is dead.
00:15The throne is vacant.
00:18♪♪
00:25What happened?
00:26They say a heart attack.
00:28You know how rumor spreads
00:30and one and a quarter billion souls watching.
00:33Well done, Lord Lawrence.
00:35It seems the responsibility for the conclave falls upon you.
00:38♪♪
00:40The supervision of this election
00:42is a duty I never thought I'd have to perform.
00:45They are sequestered
00:48and they must be shielded from all news
00:50that may influence their judgment.
00:51You understand?
00:52♪♪
00:55No sane man would want the clave to see.
00:57♪♪
00:59The men who are dangerous
01:03are the ones who do want it.
01:05♪♪
01:06That sounds ominous.
01:08♪♪
01:10I wonder if I could have a word in private.
01:13You look anxious.
01:15Everything under control.
01:17How has this been kept a secret for so long?
01:20We'll never find a candidate
01:22who doesn't have any kind of black mark against them.
01:25Although we sisters are supposed to be invisible,
01:28God has nevertheless given us eyes and ears.
01:32♪♪
01:35You should be careful, Thomas.
01:37♪♪
01:41This is a conclave, Aldo, it's not a war.
01:44It is a war
01:46and you have to commit to a side.
01:49♪♪
01:58There is one sin
02:00which I have come to fear
02:03above all others.
02:05Certainty.
02:07If there was only certainty
02:10and no doubt,
02:12there would be no mystery.
02:14♪♪
02:18And therefore no need for faith.
02:22♪♪
