Romulus (2020) s01e08 Episode Script

Who are you, old man?
Don't you know that travelling
at night is prohibited?
My name is Eulinos,
I'm bringing my goods to Gabi
What have you got back there?
-My wine.
-Don't move.
Go now, and next time travel by day
if you don't want to be pierced
by Alba iron.
Do you want to try some good wine?
Call your comrades,
I'll let you try my wine.
The best
in all the lands of the Thirty.
It's wine, it isn't poison.
Follow me.
-Get more wine!
-I haven't got any more wine.
You said you had wine
for everyone, you Greek bastard.
Don't touch him!
What's happening?
Who are they?
Are you ready?
Prepare yourselves.
Ilia!
Is Yemos with you?
To the Gods who protect Velia,
to our children killed,
I deliver the blood of the impure!
You're the leader
of these murderers.
You will watch them all die.
You had no mercy on our children.
And so we won't have mercy
on you either.
Yemos of Alba.
It's him.
You are the proper reward
for our children's sacrifice.
Take him away.
You've won, Wiros.
Rumia fought with us.
We should bury the corpses
as the Latins do,
and also sacrifice to their gods
as well that protected us.
Inform King Numitor.
His Gods and our Goddess, together,
scattered our enemies.
Go away!
Leave those bodies!
Leave the bodies!
-What did you do to them?
-They're our enemies.
And we have to sacrifice them
to Rumia.
You're beasts.
You can't desecrate the bodies.
I'll do what's right.
We'll eat their hearts one by one.
You'll regret what you've done.
I freed your city,
that's what I've done
That's enough, Tarinkri.
We fought, we won.
Nobody touches those bodies
any more.
This is Gabi, it's not the forest.
Here the laws of Jupiter apply.
Father
Cantovios and the soldiers
are all dead.
Gabi is lost.
Who attacked you?
I don't know who they were.
They weren't Etruscans,
they wore wolf skins
and had a rage in their eyes
that I've never seen
in the eyes of a human being.
Were they fighting for Numitor?
I don't know.
We have to go back to Gabi
Father.
Numitor might be there,
and with him soon Yemos as well
When the evil possesses her,
she cannot stand light or noise.
She doesn't want to see anyone.
Only I can enter.
What's happening?
The mouths of the evil Gods
are eating my mother's head,
Gabi is lost.
Jupiter, Mars,
and mother Vesta
are asking the king of Alba
to face the harshest tests.
Whoever wants power on earth
has to prove to heaven
they deserve it.
I'm not afraid,
I will prove I'm the best
of the kings of this land.
But to do so I need your love,
yours and your mother's,
because our blood
is our greatest strength.
You're alive
They don't want to kill us,
I'll talk to Spurius,
I'll tell him the truth
about my brother's death,
he'll free me and you as well.
The Goddess saved you,
that's what matters.
Sacred Gods of Alba,
you brought her home to kill him.
Is this your terrible plan?
Ilia is asking to see you.
I don't want to see her.
I need you,
only you.
I'm not myself any more.
My face is now that of a dead woman.
I see your beauty
and I feel your strength.
Don't let yourself be defeated.
You need to stay close to me.
Make me feel loved.
Say you need me.
I need you.
I need you.
I need you.
Save me
and I will protect you.
There are sacred laws
that my people never violated.
These are the laws
my father taught me,
older than Gabi and Alba
and any other kingdom.
The Gods curse
those who do not respect them.
Wiros and his people
freed your city
A woman ate human hearts,
and that cannot go unpunished.
Fury blinds mortals.
But Wiros did not seek
to offend your laws.
If he doesn't want to offend them,
he has to punish that woman.
What do you want?
She will have to be flogged
to death.
This is the only way the father
Jupiter will not hate us.
He's crazy.
I'm crazy
or are you dishonourable beasts?
That's enough, Lausus.
Don't you understand
her act contaminates us all?
I won't support your cause.
I won't send messengers
to any of the kings
and I won't consider you
worthy allies.
As long as that woman
remains unpunished.
Lausus asks only for justice.
Wiros,
you have to do it.
If you really want lands in Alba
your laws
will have to never be against
those of our Gods.
In the name of my son
and your friendship
Make peace with Lausus.
The Thirty Kings
hold him in high esteem
and they will listen to him
if he speaks in our favour.
Without his support,
we will never take Alba.
And without Alba
we will never know
if Yemos is still alive.
My people do not know your laws.
And without their trust I'm nothing.
We all saw what Wiros did
for our peoples.
Let him decide what to do.
I'm sure a God or a Goddess
will inspire his heart.
We are cursed.
I was hoping the Gods
would take their revenge on me,
but now
Now she is back
to punish your guilt
-and I don't want to lose you.
-That's enough!
I have no fault,
I saved my people,
the rain has returned,
the Gods blessed me.
Put out that flame, I beg you.
Now everything is clear.
You're not pure.
You have offended the Gods.
I did it for you
to protect you.
A mother
who wants to kill a daughter
cannot feel love for anyone.
Ilia is no longer our daughter,
she's only a weapon
in the hands of the Gods.
Ask the Gods for forgiveness,
because I don't know
if I can forgive you.
I was looking
for the killer of Enitos
and the killers of our children
and I found them both
at the same time.
I deserve a reward.
You were good.
You hid for a long time,
among those beasts.
Have you become like them?
Do you eat on all fours?
Go!
Go!
I'm not who you're looking for.
Is that not you, Yemos?
I'm not a murderer.
It wasn't me who killed my brother.
Amulius killed Enitos.
This is the truth.
The truth.
The truth.
The truth is decided
by the person who commands.
Only Amulius knows the truth.
Let me speak, let me explain
what I have to tell you.
There's nothing you can tell me,
that I don't already know.
Little man,
Amulius did what had to be done.
But the work is not complete
you are still alive.
Power
belongs to the fathers,
to warriors, to men.
Your brother was not a man.
Amulius told me
he died screaming like a pig.
I won't kill you,
I want Amulius to do it.
I will take you to Alba
and I will witness your death.
Send a messenger,
so that the news of the capture
of Yemos reaches Alba.
Your father is buried here,
he died to be free.
If we don't stick together,
it will all be useless.
Can't you even look at me?
It doesn't matter
what we did for you?
Those bodies
were dismembered without pity.
Even if they were soldiers of Alba,
they should have been buried
according to the law.
Is the law so important to you?
Tarinkri is blameless.
She did what she was taught.
I will have her whipped.
And everyone will see
that we respect your Gods.
But don't ask me to kill her.
My people wouldn't understand.
Peoples don't have
to understand kings.
They have to respect and fear them.
Twenty lashes.
And the Gods will decide
whether she survives or dies.
Fifty.
Nobody survives fifty lashes.
Nobody
if the Gods don't want it.
My father forbade me to see you,
he said you're suffering too much.
I know why you don't want to see me.
You're ashamed of me.
A vestal expelled from the temple
and now a warrior
half man, half woman.
You no longer see your daughter.
Do you remember when
you stayed with me and you sang
until I fell asleep.
I was afraid of the night,
of its noises.
Forgive me,
if I'm not that little girl
any more.
Don't cry.
I am here with you.
Yes.
Now I know.
You'll always be my daughter
Sleep, baby
with your mum
Sleep, child
in my arms
Under the stars
night falls
silence falls
the quiet descends
They have fat sheep here.
The meat is tender.
Lausus will only support us
if I have Tarinkri whipped.
Fifty lashes.
You promised us a city,
you can give us that
even without Lausus' help.
Without Lausus, it's just us.
The same people
who ran away from the forest,
scattered and hated by all.
Are you afraid of their Gods?
If we take a village by force,
by force they will take it away.
It's already happened to you,
it'll happen again.
If instead
Lausus allows us
to meet their thirty kings,
and convinces them
to fight with us
When we take Alba
with their support,
all the Latin peoples
will learn to respect us.
We will be protected by their laws,
and we will live free from fear.
And if ever one day
Yemos should return to Alba,
I want to be there too,
together with his mother
and you, who are my brothers.
You've already decided.
Gala.
Gala.
Gala, no!
What have you done?
What have you done?
My love.
Please don't leave me.
Please, don't leave me.
Don't leave me, please.
Open your eyes
You were right,
I am impure.
Now live
my love.
Help me!
Help me!
Help me!
I'm afraid of dying.
It's all over.
No,
you are hope.
Lausus!
Come outside!
Come outside!
Watch us, Lausus.
You said we don't respect your laws.
That we contaminate your city.
That we are dishonourable beasts.
Instead we are here
Because from today your laws
are sacred for us as well.
Rumia will not let you die.
The She-Wolf
would never have done this.
She's right. Let her go.
I said to let her go!
Whatever one of them does,
it's as though I did it.
If your gods want the blood
of those who violated the law,
take my blood.
The Goddess brought me this far.
She won't abandon me now.
You're a brave man.
Come on!
One!
Two!
Three!
Four!
Five!
Six!
Seven!
Eight!
-Nine!
-That's enough!
Ten!
Eleven!
Twelve!
Thirteen!
Fourteen!
Fifteen!
Sixteen!
Seventeen!
-Eighteen!
-That's enough!
That's enough, Lausus!
Look
You've had the blood
you asked for, do you see it?
It's the blood of a man
who respects the Gods
and loves his people.
It's the blood of a king.
The blood
of the man
who will take us back to Alba.
We'll send messengers
to all the kings of the League.
We will say that Numitor
awaits them here in Gabi.
Don't cry.
Father Jupiter
has got what he wanted
the sacrifice is complete
While your mother was dying,
Yemos has been captured.
Spurius is bringing him here.
Don't ask,
don't pray,
now it's up to you
I am in you,
you are a beginning.
Fight, son of Rumia.
What do you mean?
You know.
You have seen everything.
This is where your end begins.
Kill her!
Shut up, bitch!
From our blood Ruma will be born!
Mother,
Goddess
,
give me the strength
to rip their hearts out.
To kill
those who killed your children.
Mother,
Goddess,
give me the strength
to rip their hearts out,
to kill those
who killed your children.
Mother,
Goddess,
give me the strength
to rip their hearts out,
to kill those
who killed your children.
