Ezio brekas into Castel Sant'Angelo in an attempt to assassinate Cesare and Rodrigo Borgia. The attempt fails but instead he decides to rescue Caterina Sforza.

Lucrezia Borgia and Caterina get out of a carriage at the edge of Pont Sant'Angelo. There are guards present, and Lucrezia addresses the public.

• Lucrezia: Salve attadini di Roma! (Hail citizens of Rome!) Behold a sight most splendid! Caterina Sforza. She-whore of Forlì - has been brought to heel!
• Caterina: Ha! No one kneels as low as Lucrezia Borgia! Who put you up to this? Was it your brother or your father? Perhaps a bit of both? Perhaps at the same time!
• Lucrezia: Chiudi la bocca! (Shut your mouth!) None speak ill of the Borgia! (Lucrezia slaps Caterina and then turns back to the crowd). The same will happen to any who defy us!
• Caterina: Good people of Roma, stay strong! You will be free, your time will come, I swear it!

Caterina is taken away and Ezio and Niccolò Machiavelli are seen standing together close-by.

• Ezio: They are going to torture her.
• Machiavelli: You are here for Cesare and Rodrigo.
• Ezio: Caterina is a powerful ally, if we help her now while she is weak, she will aid us in return.
• Machiavelli: Perhaps. But kill Cesare and Rodrigo first.

Ezio crosses the Tiber River and enters the Castel grounds via the papal guards training square. He over hears a conversation bewteen Cesare, Octavian de Valois, Juan Borgia the Elder and Micheletto Corella.

• Cesare: Forget the Pope, you answer only to me. Roma is the pillar that holds our entire enterprise aloft. she can not waver. Which means neither can you.
• Ocatavian: What of the Vaticano (the Vatican)?
• Cesare: That tired old man's club? Play along for now, but soon we will have no need of them.
• Voice: He's left us Roma.
• Voice 2: She'll be in good hands.

Ezio scales the inner walls of the Castel and stops to listen at a window. Inside Cesare meets with Lucrezia.

• Lucrezia: Cesare.
• Cesare: Lucrezia. (They kiss intimately) I hope you have treated our guest with kindness.
• Lucrezia: That mouth on her...How I'd love to sew it shut.
• Cesare: I rather likw it open, myself.
• Lucrezia: Oh?
• Cesare: Have you talked to the Pope about the funds requested by my banker?
• Lucrezia: He is away from the Castello, and he might need some convincing when he returns.
• Cesare: That shouldn't be a problem, should it?
• Lucrezia: No. Only...it gets quite lonely here. You and I spend so little time together these days, busy as you are with you OTHER conquests.
• Cesare: Soon, once I have secured the throne of Italia, you are going to be my queen, and your loneliness will be a thing of the past.
• Lucrezia: I can not wait.
• Cesare: Behave yourself while I am gone. (Cesare leaves and Ezio turns to look toward the gate of the Castel Sant'Angelo.)
• Guard: Open the gate! The Captain General is leaving for Urbino! Buona fortuna (Good fortune) Padron Cesare.

Cesare leaves the Castello.

• Ezio: Machiavelli is going to be very disappointed.

Ezio continues to scale the walls and eventually reaches a cell window. Inside is Caterina. Lucrezia storms into the prison.

• Lucrezia: Open her cell! (She grabs a metal bar) How was the journey to Roma? Did you sit in Cesare private carriage?
• Caterina: You're pathetic, Lucrezia. (Lucrezia pushes her down)
• Lucrezia: What did he talk about? His plans for Napoli? Did you like it?
• Ceterina: I can't remember.
• Lucrezia: Perhaps you will remember this. (Lucrezia strikes Caterina with the metal bar. Caterina screams) That put you in your place. (Lucreazia leaves the cell) Lock it and give me the key.

She puts the key in her cleavage and leaves. Ezio inflitrates the prison and kills the guards.
