The concluding episode follows Leonardo's journey from Milan to Venice in 1500, where he proposes to the Doges a novel form of warfare... a crack team of underwater divers to help sink the invading Turkish fleet. Would such a thing have been possible in the 16th Century? Spurned by the Venetians, he designs war machines for tyrant Cessare Borgia, before returning to Florence where he designs a flying machine, which we build and test. And it's whilst painting the Mona Lisa that he becomes locked in a bitter rivalry with the sculptor Michelangelo, which will end in his undoing.
