Romulus (2020–…): Season 2, Episode 6 - Battaglia - full transcript
When Titos steps in, the tides change with the Romans, who must retreat; Yemos decides to leave the sceptre to Wiros.
Soon it will be dawn my Lord,
there is no more time.
I told you you can start marching.
The soldiers are waiting for you.
A God must not have ties to men.
But a king must,
Yemos and Wiros will
fight alongside their army.
No king of Cures has ever entered battle.
No king has ever faced Rome.
What do you know
about how a king lives?
You had a city and you lost it.
You are afraid.
To win a war the Gods are not enough,
we need a leader, a guide.
And I chose you to guide them to Rome.
Don't make me regret it.
For Titus! Son of Sancus!
For Titus! Son of Sancus!
We have to face them in the open field,
we have no other possibilities.
It could work.
We are with you Wiros.
- Me too.
- Me too.
Me too.
There are too many of them.
We'll wait for them inside the walls,
let them approach.
We can do it Yemos.
The city will be exposed,
there will be nobody to defend the gates.
They won't reach the gates,
you can leave.
What's wrong?
Brother.
If you want to attack the Sabines,
we need to free Tarinkri and the others.
Who tells you they will want
to fight alongside us?
We are all Rumia's children.
And this city belongs to them too.
When day breaks,
Rome and Cures will face each other.
You will stay here in the city, safe.
And once Rome has won this war,
you will have your freedom.
We do not want this freedom of yours!
We belong to Sancus!
If Titus is defeated,
that too will be the will of Sancus.
Rest,
it will all be over soon.
What have you done to her?
- What have you done to my sister?
- Stop!
Stop.
Are you okay?
Rumia has abandoned us.
You and Wiros dared to challenge her.
But she promised this city
to the Ruminales,
why should she take it away
from us now?
This is not the Rome
the She-wolf told us about,
it is not a place we can call home.
And where is your home?
The pack.
Today I will do my part,
but not for this city,
the only thing that matters
is the survival of our people.
You are our leader Yemos,
save your people,
that is all Rumia asks.
Promise me you will leave him to me.
You don't have to do this.
I will not hesitate this time.
I will kill my father.
I swore it in front of Mars.
This is not what I want for you, Ilia.
It is I who wants it.
I too have to ask you something.
Anything.
Open the gates.
It's an ambush!
They're attacking us!
Follow me!
Don't stop, keep moving forward!
Do you want to kill
your daughter, Amulius?
I no longer have a daughter.
Jupiter, father, I implore you,
instil terror in the enemy army,
guide my son's hand,
allow him to return victorious,
and cast down your wrath on Amulius,
that his eyes never see
the light of the sun again.

Attus!
When the time comes to fight,
do not fight like someone
who is not afraid of death,
you must fear it as you
have never feared it before.
Don't fight to avenge the past,
fight to protect the future.
Ilia has killed Servios!
Servios is dead!
Servios is dead!
Ilia killed him!
Servios is dead!
The Sabine general has been killed!
Finish them off!
No!
No!
This is our chance,
the city is unguarded.
No...
- I cannot go back.
- Why not?
What have you done Ersilia?
You love a man.
Wiros is not just a man.
He bent the prophecy of Sancus,
to his will.
Only a God can defeat fate!
My Lord, Servios,
is dead.
That is not possible.
Should I order the retreat?
My lord, the men are without a leader.
No retreat.
It's our king!
The son of the God fights alongside us!
Fight! For Titus! For Sancus!
Stop them, don't let them pass!
Titus is here!
Other Sabines are coming!
Sabines!
Adieis!
Do not abandon us.
Rumia chose you both,
to protect her children,
not to build altars to your pride.
Defend them Yemos.
Save them.
Order the retreat!
We cannot give up,
Wiros is counting on us!
Yemos has ordered the retreat!
We are alone!
Tell everyone to hold their positions!
Keep fighting!
Fight!
Where is your courage?
Go back and fight!
Resist! Don't stop!
Yemos' men are retreating!
Wiros orders us to fight!
The Sabines are converging on us!
There are too many of them!
Protect the king!
For Titus, son of Sancus!
It's over.
Retreat! Retreat!
Fall back towards the city!
It's over, let's go!!
Son of Sancus! Son of Sancus!
It will be fine, my life.
I did it, Yemos,
I killed my father.
I know.
If the Gods gave me the strength to do it,
perhaps victory was still possible.
Rome has already shed
too much blood because of my pride.
You know I am ready to die for this city.
But I'm not ready to let you do it.
I've already lost too much, Ilia,
I cannot lose you too.
Stay with me.
Yes.
Yemos betrayed all of us,
he abandoned us!
Herennèis is right,
it is only his fault that we lost!
You have to do something Wiros,
we can no longer trust him.
Is that what you think?
The pack must have a single guide,
that is what the soldiers want!
Do you think so too, brother?
You are Romulus,
you always have been.
Why did you order the retreat?
I was protecting our people.
Together we could have resisted,
we could have won!
Don't you understand?
I was just obeying Rumia's will.
You were weak!
There is no other truth.
Rumia has punished us for our pride
and she will do it again.
But from now on, the blood of our people
will no longer be on my hands,
only on yours.
What are you saying?
The pack must have a single guide,
this is what you want,
this is what our soldiers want,
then so be it.
Brother.
It is the right thing to do,
there is no other way.
You stayed.
My place is in Rome, by your side.
Did they harm you?
Our purity was not violated,
no Roman dared touch us.
Why didn't Ersilia come back?
Her heart,
was poisoned by the Romans.
She preferred to remain with their king.
Yemos?
Wiros.
Does she feel something for him?
Does she love him?
Do you know
what it means to love a man?
Look at me!
No,
you don't know, leave.
All of you, leave!
Today my strength was not enough,
perhaps you were wrong,
and my brother is right.
I betrayed Rumia,
and now we will all pay
the consequences.
I chose to believe in you,
you have to do it too.
But I am not a God, Ersilia.
What are you doing?
We cannot go back,
neither you nor I.
Rumia cannot decide who you are,
neither can your brother.
Marry me,
marry me and I will be united
with you forever,
in glory or vengeance of the Gods,
it doesn't matter.
I only have you.
Me too.
Rome is not a city of slaves,
we will give a weapon to every man,
everybody will fight, even the children.
We will defend our freedom
with our lives,
and we shall win.
The Romans have withdrawn,
they are barricaded in the city,
king Titus orders you to join him.
My Lord, they are coming.
there is no more time.
I told you you can start marching.
The soldiers are waiting for you.
A God must not have ties to men.
But a king must,
Yemos and Wiros will
fight alongside their army.
No king of Cures has ever entered battle.
No king has ever faced Rome.
What do you know
about how a king lives?
You had a city and you lost it.
You are afraid.
To win a war the Gods are not enough,
we need a leader, a guide.
And I chose you to guide them to Rome.
Don't make me regret it.
For Titus! Son of Sancus!
For Titus! Son of Sancus!
We have to face them in the open field,
we have no other possibilities.
It could work.
We are with you Wiros.

There are too many of them.
We'll wait for them inside the walls,
let them approach.
We can do it Yemos.

there will be nobody to defend the gates.

Brother.
If you want to attack the Sabines,
we need to free Tarinkri and the others.
Who tells you they will want
to fight alongside us?
We are all Rumia's children.
And this city belongs to them too.
When day breaks,
Rome and Cures will face each other.
You will stay here in the city, safe.
And once Rome has won this war,
you will have your freedom.
We do not want this freedom of yours!
We belong to Sancus!
If Titus is defeated,
that too will be the will of Sancus.
Rest,
it will all be over soon.
What have you done to her?
- What have you done to my sister?
- Stop!
Stop.
Are you okay?

You have to do something Wiros,

Is that what you think?
