Romulus (2020) s01e10 Episode Script

Amulius!
I'm here.
Amulius!
I have 500 men with me,
ready to fight
and the fury of a Goddess who
freed me once before from death!
Don't ask for more pointless
bloodshed, Amulius!
Hand the city over to me,
and I swear by all the Gods
that I'll renounce my revenge.
I'll give you
one more day and night.
Tomorrow,
at the first ray of sunshine,
we will come and kill you all.
Many of them were my friends.
I still remember their names.
When you give the command,
the men are ready.
Warn the kings.
Tomorrow at dawn
we will kill them all.
I saw you,
speak.
My Lord
you can still stop this slaughter.
I beg you,
in the name of our Gods.
The Gods?
So they finally spoke to you?
They're still silent, aren't they?
But I don't care any more.
Tomorrow our weapons will speak.
Get out!
Numitor is your brother.
If you fight against him,
you will bring ruin to Alba.
Is it the Gods who say this?
Or is it you?
I say it.
Do you want to be King?
Come.
Sit down
Sit down!
You want to surrender the city
to a fratricide?
Is that what you want?
-No.
-So what do you want?
Do you think Yemos is innocent?
In reality, he is.
Yemos is innocent.
If the Gods are silent,
you no longer serve any purpose.
The She-Wolf.
She has waited for this moment
all her life.
Our city
Ruma
And now we are alone
She's here.
When everything seemed to be over,
Yemos invoked her,
and she saved him.
Now she lives in his heart,
and when we get in there
he will build her a temple.
Yemos!
Don't hide behind the children
of Rumia!
This isn't their battle!
I loved your brother,
the future king
And you killed him!
You have offended
the will of the Gods.
You are an abomination to this city!
Don't go.
Bring your father here.
I will fight with him.
Are you afraid of a woman, Yemos?
Have you no shame
in front of your men?
Don't let the soldiers move.
Whatever happens.
I didn't kill my brother.
Send them away.
It's just the two of us.
They will not intervene.
I swear by all the Gods.
Stop, Ilia. Stop.
Kill me.
Because I will come looking for you,
until the end of my days.
I didn't kill my brother
and I won't kill you.
If you want revenge, it's not me
you should be looking for.
It was your father.
He killed him in front of me.
Enitos has always admired you.
He said you were the first
to give him a sword
and to teach him how to use it.
I loved him too.
The way I'd have loved a son.
You never told me his last words.
Did he think of me before he died?
You're hurt. You're bleeding.
Answer my question.
What do you want to know, Ilia?
Yemos struck him down
with treachery.
He didn't have time to say anything.
You cannot lie any more.
You're ashamed in front of the Gods.
I don't care about the Gods
any more.
I'm only ashamed in front of you.
It's too late for shame.
In front of me now
you should only be afraid.
Whoever is afraid fights.
But I will not fight my daughter.
Why did you do this to me?
I killed Enitos to save the Kingdom,
and instead I'm destroying it.
Kill me.
It is just that you should do it.
Kneel down.
The word "just"
on your lips is sacrilege.
Open the gates.
Open the gates!
I gave you an order!
Open the gates!
The city is yours.
Yemos
You will be king.
I entrust your subjects
to your mercy
and my own life as well.
This
is the blood of a murderer.
Of a traitor.
It's my father's blood.
In order to become king,
Amulius killed Enitos.
In order to become king,
he accused Yemos.
He himself confessed.
And this
This is the sword that killed him.
His body is still burning.
Today this woman saved us all.
Bury your fury.
From today
Alba is a kingdom of peace!
Long live the king!
We mustn't enter a city
sacred to other Gods.
Yemos will be king.
Silvia and Numitor have promised.
This city will be ours as well.
It will be.
But until our Goddess enters,
we won't.
Long live the king!
Long live the king!
Tell the handmaids
to begin the purification rites
for this house.
And to take my brother's body away.
Let evil
be removed for ever.
A clean robe is enough to scare you?
I owe everything to you.
You stayed by my side.
And now with you I want to think
what will happen here in Alba.
I want Alba to be new.
Come in, Ilia.
She asked to talk to you.
Are you willing to listen to her?
I
I killed your father.
I was convinced he was guilty.
I killed him
looking him in the eyes.
I felt no pity.
I didn't know the truth.
King of Gabi,
I come today to ask
your forgiveness.
Lausus
Here, now
we are all orphans.
Our fathers no longer exist.
Our time has come.
Those who killed
because they were deceived
do not deserve my grudge.
Long live the Thirty!
Today's victory is your victory!
Only kings may enter this room.
If it weren't for Ilia,
many of us would have died.
And him?
He isn't one of the Thirty
Why do you want
to remove Wiros from this room?
Rumia is a beast
who devours and kills.
If you allow her into the city,
she will bring
destruction and death.
Unknown Gods are frightening.
I know.
But please look at me:
the Goddess you hate
is the one who saved me.
The Gods want us to live
in peace, and for peace
For peace,
I implore you to welcome Wiros
into this assembly.
Rumia's children fought by our side.
Numitor promised them a just reward,
and the promise will be kept.
We know nothing about this promise.
It's a promise that
will cost you nothing, Capys.
Tomorrow
we will thank our ancient Gods.
We will sacrifice a bull to Jupiter.
And then we will consecrate
the city to the Goddess Rumia,
so that her children can enter
and feel at home.
I don't like winning
without a fight.
Now there are only Latins in there.
Wiros is one of us.
He will know how to gain respect.
We'll see.
Meanwhile, I don't trust them.
What's happening?
Are they not giving us our lands?
-They'll give us everything.
-When?
For them, with their traditions
it's difficult to accept.
-But if we're patient and wait
-I don't want to wait!
But instead you will wait!
Tomorrow Yemos will consecrate
the city to the Goddess,
he said so,
in front of all the kings.
We will soon have our reward.
Yes, of course.
In the end you're the same as him.
Even if you have our blood,
it was the Latins who raised you.
Give me your sword, Herenneis.
I'll give it to you
when they give me my land.
I told you give me your sword.
You are my king,
Rumia is my Goddess.
I hope that day you'll have to give
it back to me won't come.
What's wrong?
Have the Thirty have come
to complain about my intentions?
You won't like
what I'm about to tell you.
They don't even have the courage
to tell me what they think.
They owe you obedience,
but you have to respect them.
This is what
our alliance is founded on.
Your alliance was based on that,
you're right.
But now There's another
people who have joined us.
And there's another Goddess.
A Goddess whom
we have all learned to hate.
She lives in the dark
and brings destruction.
Her place is the forest,
her time, the night.
I was fed by her.
She gave me a new life,
and taught me who I am.
You are my son.
I'm alive thanks to Rumia.
She spoke to me.
Her people fought for me.
I can try to imagine
what you lived with them
but the Thirty
will never understand it.
If you consecrate Alba to Rumia,
they will break up the League.
You will see blood flow
Men killed, women made slaves
Did they threaten a war?
Talk to Wiros, find an agreement.
Or the Thirty
will force him to leave.
Wiros is my brother.
I can't betray him.
I didn't ask you to betray him.
But remember your brother's name
was Enitos.
We will build it with the wood
of the tallest trees,
and everyone will see it
on entering the city,
and they will say:
there lives the Lady of the Forest.
They'll let us do it, won't they?
Don't you trust Yemos?
I only trust
those who share my blood.
Trust me, then.
Nobody will dare take from us
what we were promised.
You're looking
for his voice as well
Enitos' voice is gone.
He lives in our memories.
I have nothing left.
Not a family,
not love.
Not a voice to listen to.
You help me not to lose my memory,
you help me to remember him
and this gives me strength.
The same thing
happens to me as well.
But I don't want to remember.
That is the past.
Everything that happened to us
is only painful.
I want to forget.
You knew how to do what was right.
You weren't afraid
to shed your father's blood.
I wish I had your strength
Don't envy me.
You saved this city.
You brought justice.
There will never be justice
in Alba
Yemos.
Be content
with having brought peace.
That's the most important thing.
Oil.
And more oil and oil.
Put it together and you
can no longer separate it.
That is its nature.
But when you pour vinegar
You see?
There is no attraction.
Not even the greatest of kings
can keep them together.
Many things seemed impossible,
until someone succeeded
in doing them.
You speak like Yemos.
As if the world didn't exist.
You didn't call me
to talk to me about oil and vinegar.
Yemos loves you like a brother,
and will never be able to tell you
what I'm telling you.
We are the oil
and you are the vinegar.
The Thirty will not let Alba
be consecrated to your Goddess.
What are you trying to tell me?
If you care about Yemos
and his friendship
Get your people out of here.
You made a promise to my people.
Have you forgotten it?
You know
that you're like a son for me
I don't need these words, Silvia.
I am nobody's child,
and I learned
that promises are worthless.
Will you do what I asked you?
What will you give me in return?
You
can stay here, in the city
you will lead the army.
-What about my people?
-If they go back to the forest,
we will sign an eternal pact
with them,
and we will respect
their borders for ever.
The Gods have given you
the power to avoid a war.
That is the greatest power.
Use it well.
The Thirty threaten a war,
your mother begs me to leave,
and you say nothing to me!
I needed to think.
Fine.
What did you think, then?
Well?
Rumia is my mother.
I was dead
and she gave me a new life.
But Silvia is my mother too.
And I don't want
there to be another war.
We will not leave.
I have no mothers.
When I met you, I was a slave.
I conquered all of this alone,
and you'll have to kill me
to take it from me.
I don't want to take anything
from you, Wiros.
Will you consecrate the city
to our Goddess?
I want an agreement.
No agreement.
Either you're with me
or you're against me.
Let's prepare for the worst.
You were right not to trust them.
They will try to chase us out.
-Who told you?
-Everybody knows.
Only we know nothing.
Does Yemos agree with this as well?
Why don't you answer me?
Does Yemos agree with them?
If he agrees with them,
we will have to fight him as well.
Arm everyone.
If they don't give us
what we asked for,
more blood will flow.
Long live the king!
Long live the king!
Long live the king!
Long live the king!
Put down your weapons.
Why
are you not armed?
We will only listen
to the words of our king.
Today I'm here
Why am I here?
Do you know why?
My brothers,
children of Rumia,
they want to convince me
with weapons
to consecrate this city
to their Goddess.
And my other brothers
My mother
and my grandfather.
They are ready to stop me
with weapons.
It seems
that the Gods want more blood.
And did it not all start with them?
Since Father Jupiter
took away the rain.
Why did he do that?
Have you ever asked yourselves?
The reason
Numitor had to be sent away.
Only in this way
could destiny be fulfilled.
Amulius
had to kill Enitos,
and I had to escape.
I had to lose a brother
who was the same as me,
to find another who is different.
I had to meet
the Lady of the Wolves,
the one you all fear
and believe is bloodthirsty
And I had to learn from you
From your weapons
That Alba is not my city.
It is so.
It is so, and only now does
the Gods' will become clear.
It is not in Alba
that I will have to reign,
but a different land,
irrigated by the blood of
the She-Wolf and her brothers.
A land that now is without a king.
A city that now is called Velia.
It's your city, Wiros.
And we are brothers,
and we will reign together.
And that city will have room
for all those who have suffered
and made mistakes,
and who want peace
without renouncing justice.
Come here, brother.
Don't look at me like that.
If you accept,
we will leave today.
This is my agreement.
This man is my brother!
He will never say a word against me,
and I never a word against him.
Our city will welcome all the Gods,
but will take its name
from the Lady of the Wolves,
that new name will replace the old
and will be on the lips
of all the peoples of the earth.
Our city,
if you want it,
will be called Ruma.
