01x04 - Populos

Post by bunniefuu »

Are they the ones looking for you?

They're the soldiers of Alba.

If we leave the forest

they'll catch me.

Did you hear that?

What?

I don't know.

A kind of voice.

It's the forest that does that.

It gets inside you and makes you

hear things that aren't there.

The fire burned him outside

and consumes him inside.

-The wound is festering.

-Leave us alone.

Don't be afraid,

it's just me.

We're safe now.

Are you listening to me, Father?

I know you're listening to me

I beg you,

for the Gods

who now seem to be our enemies.

Don't let your lineage die out.

Don't leave me on my own.

Your strength keeps me alive.

Talk to those who defend us.

Your words are mine.

It's only the word of Amulius!

His word against all that I saw!

-What did you see?

-You didn't see anything.

Silence!

Let the king speak.

Amulius says

that Yemos was an ambitious man.

He wanted to reign alone,

and that's why

he k*lled his brother Enitos.

And the Thirty believe him

because they're afraid.

He himself says that doubting

his word is blasphemy.

But I tell you that the Gods

are more powerful than kings,

and a perjured king

is worth less than the last sl*ve.

You say Amulius is a perjurer,

but our fields were burning

and now they produce spelt.

Amulius brought the rain.

Amulius brought the rain?

I don't think so.

I think we have to thank Numitor,

who accepted the response

of the Gods

and left the kingdom

without resisting.

Women are not allowed

in the council.

I didn't come

to tell you the words of a woman.

I bring a message from my father.

You are always welcome

in this council.

What does the king say?

The king says

he has accepted the exile

that the Gods imposed on him.

That's why the rain returned.

A blessing for his grandchildren,

because

they should have had the throne.

Amulius has seized this sign

by deception.

He trampled

human and divine laws underfoot

and proclaims himself king.

You can believe his lies,

or restore the order

that he broke.

If you choose the part of Numitor,

and his nephew Yemos,

my only surviving son,

the Gods will reward you.

If instead you choose Amulius

You will be doing his wicked work.

I'm the mother

of the legitimate king of Alba.

and the Thirty believe him

because they're afraid.

Rufus

Do you lack the courage?

And you, Hirtius

If you believe Amulius,

you know what you need to do.

Take it,

and k*ll.

But know that the Gods

will want to drink your blood

on the day of revenge.

This is what my father says.

Do you know where we are?

This is the direction.

Gabi is where the sun sets.

You're tired,

I'll go ahead.

Yemos!

-Enitos!

-Help me.

Enitos!

Enitos!

Yemos What's wrong with you?

He's dying. I have to stop

the blood, do you understand?

Enitos!

Enitos, don't die!

Don't die again!

Don't die again!

Don't die again, Enitos.

Yemos

Yemos

There's nobody here.

Not now, but he was here before.

Who?

It's not the fault of the forest, Wiros.

It was really him, my brother.

And the blood flowed from his side

like a spring

That's enough, Yemos, enough.

That's enough!

There's nobody here, see?

It's just you and me.

I saw him.

I should have saved him,

and I wasn't able to.

This terrain is sacred.

Go away.

They make sacrifices

to the Gods in every home.

They ask for Ilia to return.

Your daughter now belongs to Mars.

She will go into the darkness.

And you can't stop her.

Can I see her?

If she lives, you'll see her again.

And then she will be

the strength of the God among men.

She will be terror and fury.

She will be the glory of Alba,

and the death of its enemies.

Was it the God who brought her here?

Did he save her

so she can avenge Enitos?

If that is so,

it would be better if she had died.

Never say that again.

This is the first day.

If you endure the pain,

Mars will take possession

of your heart.

Run!

Now!

Here! Quick!

Your blood will warm up

in the hands of your new Lord.

Open your eyes, Ilia, and look!

This fire is not Vesta's,

this fire belongs to Mars!

Help us.

Don't leave us here!

Who are you?

We're merchants.

The spirits of the forest

attacked us,

they k*lled our comrades

and they took our goods.

You have to believe me, we have

no food, we have no weapons.

We have to get to Gabi,

that's where we come from.

Take us with you.

And him?

He's my brother.

Are you merchants as well?

We have sheep,

we're returning

from the lands of the Greeks,

there we bartered

the wool from our animals.

We had three wagons loaded with oil,

but we have nothing left.

-Where are you going to?

-To the largest city ever seen.

It has stone walls higher

than the trees in the forest.

Veio, nobody can conquer it,

and nobody there is afraid.

Once,

many years ago,

I had a family.

A young wife

and three children.

The w*r had taken me

far from Alba for a long time.

30, 40 days.

When I got back,

I found my house burned down.

The bodies of my children torn apart.

Only my wife was still alive,

they had burned her,

but she was still breathing.

She asked me about our children.

I told her they were alive, safe.

I put a hand over her mouth.

I k*lled her to spare her the pain.

Who k*lled your children?

Five Sabine warriors, born in Cures.

For ten years

I could only think of them.

I asked Mars to give me strength.

I went through the pain.

I searched for them

and I found them all.

I k*lled them

one by one.

And then I k*lled their wives,

their fathers, their children.

Has your pain healed now?

The God Mars doesn't heal pain.

If the pain doesn't heal,

why are you seeking revenge?

If you're looking for peace of

heart, this isn't your place.

Mars offers no peace.

He offers justice.

What do you want?

Peace or justice?

Thank you.

There are soldiers

along the wagon trail.

They're from Alba.

We saw them as well.

-What are they looking for?

-Yemos from Alba.

Who?

He was Numitor's heir.

Whoever finds him

will be given 20 sheep.

Why are they looking for him?

He k*lled his brother.

We keep him in the cold.

That way

the worms take longer to eat him.

Who is it?

He's my brother.

He died during the journey,

I have to bring him back to Veio.

I don't want to leave him

to the Lady of the Wolves.

God of revenge,

who punishes traitors

and rises up from defeat.

Instil in me courage and ferocity.

Don't let me forget.

God of revenge, who punishes traitors

and rises up from defeat.

Instil in me courage and ferocity.

Don't let me forget.

On your feet!

On your feet!

Respect the God!

Get up!

This is the second day:

the God will show you

what never happened.

Stamp your feet!

Stamp your feet!

Yemos

You said that without me

you would have k*lled yourself.

What are your words worth?

Wait.

Don't leave me.

Don't leave me, Enitos.

Enitos!

Enitos!

Forgive me.

Forgive me.

Give me your other hand.

I can't do it like this!

Give me your other hand!

The time

has not yet come to die, Yemos.

God of revenge,

who punishes traitors

and rises up from defeat.

Instil in me courage and ferocity.

Don't let me forget.

I don't want peace.

I want justice.

You'll find your friends in Gabi,

you could ask for pigs for me.

I could raise them.

It is the only job I can do.

You have driven death away.

I owe you my life.

You don't owe me anything.

Your brother came back

to get you because of me.

Because I told the merchants

that we're brothers.

That wasn't my brother.

He had assumed

his appearance and his voice,

but it wasn't him.

My brother loves me,

he would never ask me to die.

He sent you to me

as a second chance,

to save me from the spirits

that were k*lling me.

Are you Yemos of Alba?

Neither of us bears that name.

Tie them up.

What do you want from us?

We didn't do anything!

The shadows return

to ask for justice.

My son heard you, before

moving away you shouted 'Enitos'.

What are you talking about?

We come from Gabi, we're brothers.

Boy, I know Gabi,

and I know its merchants.

I've never seen you.

This man comes from Gabi.

He insisted on seeing you.

I bring bad news from my city.

Speak.

Ertas and his children

welcomed Numitor

to Gabi.

I am here so that my city

be spared the curse of the Gods.

Is Numitor accompanied

by his grandson? Yemos?

No,

only his daughter, Silvia.

But they both say Yemos is innocent,

and that the throne of Alba

should be his by law.

Give this man food and wine.

Help us,

Amulius,

save my people

from the fury of the Gods.

Go now, rest.

I will wait for the signs.

Then I will leave for Gabi.

Ertas has to pay.

An old woman told me

that the dead come back to life

if you feed them with human blood.

I think I'll tear you apart.

What's that?

What's that?
