00:01The Pope is dead.
00:10The throne is vacant.
00:20What happened?
00:21They say a heart attack.
00:23You know how rumor spreads and one and a quarter billion souls watching.
00:28Well done, Lord Lawrence.
00:30It seems the responsibility for the conclave falls upon you.
00:35The supervision of this election.
00:37A sub-duty I never thought I'd have to perform.
00:41They are sequestered and they must be shielded from all news that may influence their judgment.
00:46You understand?
00:50No sane man would want the clave to see.
00:54The men were dangerous.
00:58Are the ones who do want it.
01:02That sounds ominous.
01:05I wonder if I could have a word in private.
01:08You look anxious.
01:10Everything under control.
01:12How has this been kept a secret for so long?
01:15We'll never find a candidate who doesn't have any kind of black mark against them.
01:20Although we sisters are supposed to be invisible, God has nevertheless given us eyes and ears.
01:29You should be careful, Thomas.
01:36This is a conclave, Aldo. It's not a war.
01:39It is a war and you have to commit to a side.
01:53There is one sin which I have come to fear.
01:58Above all others.
02:00Certainty.
02:02If there was only certainty.
02:05And no doubt.
02:07There would be no mystery.
02:13And therefore no need for faith.
