Domina (2021) s02e06 Episode Script

Freedom

1
A marriage to Julia would be
very good for me, politically.
[Livia] She's marrying Agrippa.
[Iullus] But he
won't live forever.
And when she does
become available,
I want you to fix it.
Julia has dishonored
her marriage to Agrippa.
[grunts]
It wasn't Vilbia
Julia was sleeping with.
[Agrippa]
Does it ever bother you
that he adopted my two sons
and never yours?
[Livia] Love makes us weak.
I saw Gaius's will.
So, the adopted sons of Agrippa
to inherit everything, hmm?
-Who's the executor?
-Domitius.
[Tycho] It was Domitius
behind the famine,
as you suspected.
[sighs]
You still don't believe
she killed my brother?
Revenge on Livia
is your passion, not mine.
-Is that the letter from Mother?
-[Tiberius] Yes.
Don't know why she bothered
putting it in code.
Habit, I suppose.
Go get the priestess Aurelia.
I want a copy
of Agrippa's will, too.
I want you to take Germany
for Rome.
If he ever sees you
as a threat or a problem,
you'll be dead.
You certainly
won't inherit his power.
This is a fucking
enormous honor!
-No, it isn't.
-Yes, it is.
It's a ten-year suicide note,
is what it is.
I'd be asking yourself
why it's got your name on it.
Something wrong with my head.
[Drusus] Bad Tiberius
lives inside Tiberius.
He always has done.
Tiberius, she's dead.
Mostly, he sleeps but
-Who wakes him up?
-Mother.
Her poisons.
Yes, she said you were bound
to need them.
[Julia]
Please, enough fighting.
Stop it. Silence.
Please help, please.
Listen, stop it.
-Agrippa.
-[Agrippa] Come on, lads,
don't piss your mother off.
-[Julia] I mean it. Enough.
-[children fighting]
-[children continue fighting]
-[Julia] Agrippa.
[Agrippa] All right,
that's enough.
Stop the bloody carriage!
-[Julia] Enough of this now!
-[Agrippa] I said stop!
[Julia] Agrippa,
they're fighting again.
Lads, lads, oi!
-Agrippina, enough.
-You were told!
Gaius, you're not
sitting together anymore.
-[Julia gasping] Agrippa.
-Julilla, get her back.
[Julia moaning] Agrippa!
-[yells]
-[Julia] Agrippa.
-I saw that!
-The baby's coming.
It's fucking coming!
Can you not just wait
till we get back to Rome?
-What?
-No? Right. Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
-[groans]
-Okay. Kids, form up!
Gaius!
-[Julia continues groaning]
-Lucius!
Julilla.
Ooh, it's coming now.
[Agrippa] Julilla?
[chuckles]
[in playful tone]
I'm coming to get you!
[chuckles]
Hmm.
I wonder where she could be.
[moaning in pain]
[continues moaning]
Found you! I win!
[Agrippa laughs]
Come on! [grunts]
Come on, sit down.
[Agrippa grunts]
I found you.
[panting]
Oh! I'm knackered.
Out of shape. [laughs]
[Julia screaming in pain]
Don't worry about your mum.
She's all right.
Women love a good fuss.
[continues panting]
-You know, my dad
-[Julia moaning in distance]
would bring us here hunting
when I was your age.
We'd check the traps and then--
then my brother and I,
we'd run off,
throw rocks at birds.
[chuckles]
[panting]
[whispering] Oh, it was magic.
You know
I've fought battles and
sunk fleets and
built temples and aqueducts.
I don't think I've ever been
as happy as I was then.
[sighs]
Except maybe now.
[Julia moaning in pain]
[continues moaning]
Fuck, it's coming,
I can feel it!
[crying in pain]
[Julia screaming in distance]
[Julilla] Daddy?
Wake up, Daddy.
There you are.
Look, it's a boy.
A big, fat boy.
[baby crying]
What? What's the matter?
Agrippa?
[gasps sharply]
[exhales]
[sobs]
Oh, my love.
Thank you.
[man speaks indistinctly]
-[bell ringing]
-[gasps]
[exhales]
-What?
-[bell continues ringing]
[drum beats]
[somber music playing,
vocalizing]
[theme music plays]
My friend.
My brother.
Senator.
General.
Architect.
Warrior.
[inhales, exhales deeply]
As long as
As long as
this city stands
on these hills
men will remember the name
[panting]
[Gaius]
Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa.
[continues panting, gasping]
Hey. Hey. It's all right.
You don't need him anymore.
You don't need him anymore.
[continues panting, gasping]
[somber music playing,
vocalizing]
Augustus.
This is the final will
of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa,
held in safekeeping
in the Temple of Vesta.
[Tiberius]
I wonder what's in it.
You shouldn't joke about that.
Forging wills is sacrilege.
Possibly.
[Tiberius]
It's brilliant, though.
If you control the temple,
you control the future.
I knew he was leaving
everything to Gaius.
Did you really need
any more money?
Money buys people,
and armies,
you can never have enough.
I'll take my old room.
Put the boys
in Tiberius's old room
and the girls in Drusus's.
The baby can sleep
with the nurse.
-[Scribonia] Are you all right?
-Yes.
[Scribonia] Have a seat,
darling. Hi, you.
So, Julia, back home
with the parents. How's that?
Still, it's only until they
find you a new husband.
Have they told you
who it is yet?
What? After two marriages
and five children?
No. I'm done.
You're only 27.
You can't seriously imagine
you won't get pimped out again?
Oh, that's hardly
the tone, is it?
What tone would you prefer?
Of course you're welcome
to my husband, such as he is,
but sadly there's no chance
of that happening.
Oh, that is
quite enough of that.
In fact, it's much more
likely to be yours, Antonia.
Why? Have you heard something?
Well, I know Domitius
is interested.
Or then there's Drusus.
-What?
-Or Gallus or Varus.
They'd be worth having
in the Senate.
Or even Tiberius,
now that Vipsania's father
can't vote anymore.
How can you be so callous?
-Plenty of practice.
-Oh, honestly, Marcella,
we're barely into
the mourning period.
Do you have to be
such a fucking bore?
No one gave a slave's ass
about my mourning period.
As soon as Marcella's father
turned to ash,
I was panting away
underneath Antonia's.
I got pregnant so fast
that I wasn't actually sure
whose it was. [laughs]
-[Antonina] Mother.
-That is my point.
After two husbands,
they left you alone.
And you only had four children.
Yes, but I only had relations
with my husband.
-Um, Octavia!
-[chuckles]
Well, it's a bit late
for self-righteous outrage.
[woman laughs mockingly]
-Fuck you, Marcella.
-[gasps]
You fucking
[woman] Marcella, stop!
-Marcella.
-[grunts]
[grunting]
Run, Julilla.
Run for your life.
-Never stop and never look back.
-Get off!
-[woman 1] Stop it!
-[woman 2] It's ridiculous.
[Antonina] Fucking Marcella.
She started taunting Julia
about her next marriage.
What next marriage?
Oh, it's the only thing
anyone wants to talk about.
She said it might
even be one of you two.
Mother's with Piso.
Start packing.
Tell nobody.
[Livia] I loved Agrippa.
As much as I could.
He was the balance
between Gaius and me.
His death doesn't
really change the succession.
As far as everyone's concerned,
Augustus's adopted sons
are still first in line
to inherit everything.
But the new will you made
will take care of that,
unless he marries Julia off,
and that really
could complicate everything.
Better he doesn't, for everyone.
[scoffs]
But he will.
The choice of husband
will be hugely significant,
politically.
[exhales] I know.
A mark of particular favor
and influence.
Then it has to be Drusus.
Iullus, I'll leave you to it.
No.
No, what?
No, I can't fix
your marriage to Julia.
Not now. Maybe not ever.
[scoffs] You promised me.
I've done everything you asked.
Gaius will let you run
for the Consul next year,
and I will pay for it.
Everyone's a Consul now.
I want Julia.
You want
the daughter of Augustus.
Why shouldn't I?
I'm sorry.
That's the last time
I'll get betrayed
by your fucking family.
-I doubt that.
My father ruled
the world with yours,
but I'm kept outside
like a fucking leper,
waiting for my turn
as a Consul.
I swear to the gods,
I'll bring this whole
fucking thing crashing down.
No, you won't.
Livia, you listen to me.
My whole life, I've always done
what everyone else wants.
I've earned my freedom.
Even a slave
gets that in the end.
What?
I don't want to
get married again.
I want to be left alone.
And as some sort of woman,
I expect you to get that
and get behind me.
-Agreed.
What?
I don't want you
to get married again.
It's messy,
and it complicates
everything, so
All right then. Fine.
So, you'll fix it?
Drusus.
The women are all talking about
who's next for Julia.
If I can't put it off,
it will have to be you.
Will that bother you?
I love Antonina.
But it's just a marriage.
Nobody takes it personally.
What matters
is getting the Republic back,
and if I have to marry Augustus
to do that, then I will.
[sighs]
Prepare your wife.
Domitius will want Julia, too.
You can leave that to me.
Find my sister, please.
And Scribonia,
Livia.
We'll rely on
these measures
Domitius.
-Excuse me.
-Yes, of course.
Livia.
Are you looking for me?
I want to ask you
to speak to Augustus today.
Tell him that out of respect
for your wife Antonia,
you can't be considered
as husband for Julia.
And why would I do that?
Because it would make me happy.
Well, I hate to make you sad,
but if Augustus
is looking to marry
his daughter to anyone,
then I would expect
to be considered.
And I certainly
wouldn't turn her down.
Hmm.
[man] Domitius.
Was that all?
You know, I never told Augustus
that you organized
that grain famine
with your close friend,
Marcus Cassius Elva.
That's where you got the money
to run for Consul.
That's a lie.
My people found
your agent in Egypt,
Tomi, the one
you used to buy the grain,
which you sold to Rome
for six times the price.
Well, he was tortured
until he told us everything.
So, you know
That's all.
Are you divorcing me for Julia?
If things work out,
I might have to.
Are we still going
to Germany tomorrow?
Of course.
Nothing will happen
till next year.
Oh, well, that's it, then.
Still
it was fun
while it lasted.
It'll be me
who has to marry Julia.
What?
Stepfather loves Drusus,
because everybody loves Drusus,
but he's jealous of him,
and I think he fears him, too.
He won't give him
his daughter.
He'll give her to someone who--
who he doesn't fear at all,
someone everyone thinks
is useless.
Yes, you're clearly
the most useless choice.
Deep down,
he'll enjoy giving Julia
to the only person in Rome
who doesn't want her.
Because he's a monster.
Plus
of course you're
irrelevant now, politically,
after your father's death.
Meaningless.
We can't take the baby with us.
He'll slow us down,
and it won't be safe.
Antonina will look after him.
Are you ready then?
I have been ready all my life.
Domitius.
I was just leaving.
He's not well.
I've told him that he should
stop having these meetings,
that it's too tiring,
but he won't listen.
I'm all right.
It's just a chill.
What did Domitius want?
Oh, Domitius said
that he would prefer
not to be considered
if Julia were to remarry.
But he was very nice about it.
I mean, I thought
he was very respectful.
-[Livia] Mmm.
Listen, Livia,
now that we're all here,
I have a gift for you.
Julia.
She'll have to marry again.
This time I want it
to be into your family.
So
she'll marry Tiberius.
[spits]
Tiberius?
Tiberius?
And then maybe we can have
grandchildren together, finally.
Oh, thank you.
[Scribonia] Yes, thank you.
[Octavia]
Well, I--I'm just grateful
that none of my daughters
have to get divorced,
'cause that's
always a bore, isn't it?
They have to come home,
and they just complain
about everything.
I know I'd normally consult you
over something like this,
but I wanted it
to be a surprise.
It certainly was.
[door bangs]
[exhales] Fuck!
Fuck! Fuck!
Someone get Tycho!
[exhales deeply]
Tiberius?
You are fucking kidding me!
-This is a joke.
-Shh. Keep your voice down.
[Antonia] It could be worse.
-Oh?
-You could have got Domitius.
Listen to me,
this is a good thing.
With Tiberius
we can do a deal.
No sex, no children.
That way everything
will come to your boys.
They're the future of Rome.
Fuck Rome! What about my future?
It's just an engagement.
With the mourning period,
you'll get a bit more time
before the wedding.
-[Scribonia] Julia
-No.
-Julia.
-Scribonia, just leave it.
[indistinct conversations]
[Livia] This is not
the worst outcome.
It is for Tiberius.
And Stepfather obviously
doesn't trust me.
If he doesn't trust me now,
then he never will.
[Piso] Honestly, Drusus,
none of that matters.
We know Augustus wants
Julia's sons
to inherit his power
because they're his blood,
but his will is gonna name you
as his successor.
You forged his will?
We can't have another civil war.
Exactly. And what
was the alternative?
We move now.
I command the Army of the Rhine.
Instead of leading it
into Germany,
I lead it into Rome.
Agrippa's gone,
and Stepfather's
all over the place.
This is the moment.
He'll fight. You know he will.
Not if he's dead,
like Marcellus.
You get the poison.
I'll get the army.
We'll have the Republic back
by the end of the year.
Fuck.
Livia
Unless, of course,
you're not really serious
about ending his tyranny
or avenging your father?
Answer the question, Livia.
We wait, like we planned.
That way we control
the outcome.
No, you don't.
You think you do,
but you're dreaming.
Life is completely
fucking unpredictable.
[Piso] You of all people
understand that.
-It's too risky!
-So is waiting!
-[Piso] Shh.
-[Tycho] Tiberius is gone.
[Piso] What do you mean, "gone"?
He left Rome with Vipsania
on horseback before dawn.
They left the baby and this.
It's for you.
He's not coming back.
That's what it says.
Find them. Get them back.
Drusus. Drusus, please.
No one else can do this.
Find your brother.
-Gaius will never forgive--
-To be continued.
[metal clanks]
[indistinct conversations,
indistinct shouting]
[Livia] Antonina.
Livia. Sorry, we're still
packing for Germany.
Germanicus!
Even though that's
obviously been delayed.
So you heard?
Vipsania left me
Drusillus and a note.
Couldn't believe it.
What the fuck does Tiberius
think he's doing?
If my uncle finds out
he's refusing
the marriage to Julia,
he's finished.
Everything is finished.
What do you mean?
I know what it is
you want them to do.
Drusus talks in his sleep.
Things he wouldn't dare say
when he's awake.
At first it didn't make
much sense. Just words
Fears.
But in the end,
I got it.
Of course
I've never told anyone.
Not even Drusus.
You see, that would be fatal.
Yes, it would.
People sometimes forget,
my uncle killed my father,
indirectly.
Just like he killed yours.
So, we're going
to restore the Republic.
And if you ever need
anything from me,
you can ask.
[exhales]
[Livia] I love you.
And I need you to watch Drusus.
Do you mean
spy on my husband?
Yes. That's what I mean.
Got it.
Come on! Come on!
Come on.
You, come in.
Come in.
See? Look.
Come on.
Come in.
All the pleasures of the world.
See?
Welcome, welcome.
Wine for the lady.
Olives and grapes.
Would the lady prefer
to see a man or a woman?
Oh, I don't care, really.
I'm the daughter of Augustus.
And I've never had cunnilingus.
Hello, gods.
Hello, goddesses.
It's me Vipsania Agrippina.
Give me health.
Give me sandals.
And let me escape from Mother.
And in return,
I won't tell anyone
you don't exist.
[grunts]
What is it?
My happy childhood.
Drusus gave this to me
on my eighth birthday.
He stole it from Tycho.
Where's its head?
[Nero] Give me
that fucking horse!
[grunts]
What?
My father broke off the head.
Why?
I don't know.
[Nero] It's wine, Tiberius.
Try this.
Mmm. Here.
Lad, have you
ever seen a clitoris?
Yeah, come here.
Come here and show him.
-Sh Show him your vulva.
-[woman grunts]
For fuck's sake, Nero!
He's only a boy. Ow!
-Get off!
-[Nero shouts indistinctly]
[Vipsania]
You never talk about him.
-Ever.
-Father.
Is this Mother's?
I said, is this Mother's?
[panting, gasping]
Put it on.
[Julia] It's funny, really,
if you think about it.
Underneath it all,
or even not
underneath any of it,
there's just no difference
between you and me.
Like, "Here you are,
here's a dress,
"a place to crash,
help yourself to the wine,
"he'll be in in a moment,
"and then
someone else after him."
And why is cunnilingus
so taboo anyway?
I'll tell you why,
'cause it's fucking awesome.
[laughs]
Oh, come in,
we're open for business.
[gasps softly]
Julia.
Gracchus.
Hello. How are you?
How's, um
thingy? Your wife.
Julia, what are you doing here?
Well, I'm in mourning.
How about you?
Well, come on then, Gracchus.
Fuck me.
Everyone else has.
Domitius.
Are you waiting for me?
Well, I was just
going to give thanks
for Julia's engagement
to Tiberius.
-Would you care to come?
-Of course not.
[scoffs]
Let's say you were right.
Let's say Livia
did have your brother killed.
What?
Have the gods finally
restored your eyesight?
-It was more Livia.
-But it made me wonder.
Do you remember Julia's lover
that everyone was looking for
but never found?
I'm the last fucking person
to forget about that.
Do you think that it was Livia
that had Vilbia set up?
Got Agrippa to kill him?
Well, it certainly
wasn't Iullus.
He can barely
wipe his ass with a sponge.
Marcella.
All right.
Here's what I do know.
It was Livia who got
my mother to back off
on Antonina's wedding,
and I also know it was Livia
who uncovered the famine,
back when
you know, the grain prefects
and the corruption, all that,
which is how that rat Ursa
ended up living with
Livia's new daddy, Piso.
You know, Domitius,
you ought to pay
more attention to women
and slaves and gossip
if you want to know
what's really going on.
If Livia did get Vilbia killed,
that would be
very dangerous for her,
if certain people found out.
Does it matter
if it's true or not?
As long as
certain people think it is.
That would be
an extremely dangerous game.
If you want any kind of power
in this city,
eventually, you'll need
to get rid of Livia.
[ominous music plays]
[dog barking in distance]
Drusus will find him.
He wants to see you.
Hey, how are you?
I meant to tell you.
Agrippa's will.
He left you
huge bequests of land.
You're nearly as rich as me now.
Really?
He always loved you.
Did I move too fast with Julia?
It's never good
to let things drift.
It looks weak.
Especially now.
Nobody thinks you're weak.
I'll see Vipsania
and Tiberius today.
Of course,
she'll need a new husband.
What do you think of Gallus?
Oh, there's no need to hurry.
Wait till you're better.
No, we need to be ready.
If anyone's going to move
against us, they'll do it now.
Nobody's going to move
against us.
[breathing heavily]
What are you
doing with the poisons?
-Nothing yet.
-Livia.
Both of my sons
are completely out of control.
The situation's unstable.
[birds chirping]
[Nero] Tiberius, wake up.
Wake up.
Livia didn't come today
'cause she doesn't love you.
She never has.
And once upon a time
She doesn't really love you.
when you were a tiny baby,
she killed you.
Did I tell you that?
When you were a tiny baby.
She smothered you
with her hands
[echoing] hands,
until you couldn't
breathe anymore.
Her hands
And when you were quite dead,
she killed you,
you know what she said then?
She doesn't love you.
It was him
She killed you.
or us.
With her hands
she killed you.
She's a monster. Wake up!
[gasps, gags]
[coughs]
Oh, it's just a dream.
It wasn't a dream.
[gasps, panting]
Ah, I couldn't breathe.
[Drusus] Can you
put some clothes on?
Leave us.
I knew you wouldn't fuck off
to Greece without this rubbish.
These are Mother's.
She was looking for them
for months.
[scoffs]
What do you remember
about Father?
Father?
Nothing.
Nothing at all?
I remember his corpse.
Seeing him in the atrium
for people to visit.
Mother took us for cakes
afterwards, to celebrate.
That's all you remember?
They were almond cakes.
-Why?
-I can't go back.
[groans]
I know.
But you have to.
No, I don't.
Yes, you do.
No, I don't.
One day you'll be free
from all this.
But not now.
Not like this.
[voice breaking] Please.
Let me go.
Please.
Look at me.
He'll never forgive you.
It's not safe
for anyone.
It's not safe for you.
I don't care about me.
I know.
I
I can't control it.
Myself.
Him.
I can't do this without you.
Oh, I
I can't breathe.
You can't--
you can't leave me alone.
-[gasping]
-Tiber, no, no.
No, stop. Stop.
Stop. Stop it.
No. Stop. Stop.
-I'm a monster.
-No. No.
You're not.
You're my brother.
You're my--
you're my brother.
[panting]
Okay?
[whimpers]
[inhales and exhales deeply]
[Antonina]
Stupid self-confidence.
Mother.
Welcome back.
-Are you fine?
-Yeah.
It wasn't my idea,
the marriage to Julia.
Yes. But you're not sorry,
are you?
[breathes deeply] Well, no.
Fuck!
What a fuck-up.
Tell me you can fix this.
We need to talk.
Your father's ill.
Brilliant. Serves him right.
Hope he dies screaming.
He wants to see you both.
Now.
Don't make him
choose between us.
He will always choose me.
Oh, Father.
I'm so sorry you're unwell.
I'm fine.
No, he isn't.
You smell like a whorehouse.
It's this new perfume
Marcella bought me.
[snickers]
Your mother told you
about the wedding?
Of course.
Thank you.
It's a great honor.
Yes, and I think Agrippa
would be pleased.
Congratulations, Tiberius.
I'm so happy for you both.
[Iullus]
Congratulations, Tiberius.
[whispers]
So sorry for you both.
[door opens]
[Drusus] Stepfather.
We came to say goodbye.
Ah.
Antonina.
[Julia] Goodbye, Antonina.
[Antonina] We'll be
back for the wedding.
Bring me Germany.
I wouldn't mind if it were you.
[under breath] Be careful.
Someone else
lives inside Tiberius,
and you don't want to meet him.
-[horse whinnies]
-[Antonina] I'm so sorry
for your father, Tiberius,
and the divorce.
Yes. I'll be married again
in no time.
I'll let you know who it is
when I find out.
[baby crying]
[indistinct conversations]
Thank you
for bringing him back.
If you want us to wait, we will.
I'll keep my army
in Germany for now.
[dog barking in distance]
I love you, Mother.
[Tiberius]
Don't go back to Germany.
Please, it's not safe.
That's why
he's keeping you there.
No, he isn't.
You're worrying
about nothing again.
I can't lose you, too.
We need to talk about something.
I'll write.
You never write to anybody.
I'll write to you.
[horse whinnies]
[carriage departs]
[exhales]
Drusus.
We're ready to move again
when you are.
I need to finish this.
-Fucking code.
-Here.
Let me help.
What's so urgent?
It's just something
I want to get off to Tiberius.
Thank you.
"M"
[Antonina] One-two.
"O"
Six-eight.
"T"
Three-four.
Are you sure this is his code,
and not Mother's?
I'm not a complete idiot.
And it is the latest one?
Uhfuck.
No, it is the right one.
[exhales deeply]
My brother's hand only.
-And this is for Livia.
-Of course.
Uh, I won't make it
back tonight.
Catch us up when you can.
[Vistilius] You--come with me.
[horse whinnies]
Mount up.
[Drusus] Tiberius,
I know you won't agree with me,
and Mother never will.
But now is the time to act.
If I bring my legions to Rome,
and you bring yours
from the Balkans,
Stepfather
will have to cede power.
If we act together,
we can restore the Republic
without bloodshed or war.
[Vistilius] For Livia,
from Antonina.
[Drusus]
But I cannot do it alone.
It will take
both of us together--
an overwhelming show of force.
For Tiberius Nero from Drusus.
[Drusus] Think this over.
Give me your answer.
And don't tell Mother
or Piso.
Impressive,
even by your standards.
Leave us, please.
Antonina, I assume.
Give me the letter.
[thunderclap]
Write back.
You want me to tell him
I support Stepfather.
What choice do we have?
We could poison Stepfather
and bring out
that will you forged,
naming Drusus as successor.
[thunder rolling]
Or not.
Mother
when I was a baby,
did you suffocate me
with your
bare hands until I was dead?
[thunder rolling]
Yes. Why?
Well, I guess that sort of thing
was bound to happen
sooner or later.
We were on the run.
Bounty hunters found us.
They were all around
in the woods. We were hiding.
And then you started to cry.
-It was me or you.
-I stopped you crying.
When it was safe,
Antigone put you in a stream.
Cold water brought you back.
-I went to the underworld.
-And then you came back.
Someone else came back with me.
I don't believe
in "Bad" Tiberius.
He's just someone Drusus made up
when you were kids.
Now write.
I've betrayed my wife
and myself.
Now for my brother.
[scribbling]
[thunderclap]
It's an exact copy?
I gave the original letter
to Tiberius.
[exhales deeply]
And the key square?
It's always locked away.
Antonina or his slaves
are always around.
Get it for me.
I can't break the code
without the key.
I-I won't let you down.
[suspenseful music plays]
[sniffing]
Mother said you'd
have to choose between us,
in the end.
Me or Mother.
Mother or me.
She said you'd
always choose her.
She doesn't love you.
She doesn't love you.
-She never has.
-She never has.
-She's a monster.
-She's a monster.

vocalizing]

It's you or me,
Mother.

And it isn't me.

[Livia gasping]
[grunting]
Aah!
[continues grunting]
[continues grunting]
[grunt]
What have you done?
Come on.
[Tycho grunts]
[grunts]
[Livia coughs]
[gagging]
[gasping]
I can't breathe!
I thought I was dead!
I was suffocating!
Oh! It was just a dream.
A nightmare.
[gasping] It was so real.
Like someone was on top of me.
[panting]
What are you doing here?
I, I couldn't sleep.
I was in the kitchen.
I heard a noise.
Go back to sleep, yeah.
[gasping and panting]
[continues panting]
[woman moans]
[giggles]
Domitius, long time
since you were here.
I'm still celebrating
the death of Agrippa.
Won't you join me?
About that
I just found out.
It wasn't Agrippa
that had your brother killed.
[pouring drink]
He was set up.
It was Livia.
The wife of Augustus.
