ROMULOUS AND THE SABINES
| Adventure, Comedy, Romance | 1961 |

Original title: Il ratto delle sabine

Plot:
The classic story from the early days of Rome where there are no women, and the only men to be found are the early Romans themselves; every crook, thief and cutthroat that the ancient Italian peninsula has to offer. Spurred on by the discontent of his newly founded city's populous, Romulus hatches a plan that will not only bring even more glory and fame to his already notorious city's reputation for harboring every criminal in the land, but a plan that will bring a much needed quickening to his men. Women, but with one drawback: the early Romans are going to have to do what they do best, steal them. Sword fighting, womanizing and cunning underhand tactics ensue, as Romulus and his small but capable Roman force raid the Sabine people for everything that Rome demands. The Romans surely do start out as they later go on to do, conquer the known world for the glory of Rome.

00:02:27Please grant your loyal Sabine people peace and the trust of our allies.
00:02:34But if our allies turn against us, warn us so that we may strike first, to assure us
00:02:39of peace in our time.
00:02:43A lovely grandfather.
00:02:50A lovely grandfather.
00:03:20A vain, Vestal-Bajan, is an offense against the gods, Ria.
00:03:41But don't the gods make the roses bloom?
00:03:42I tell you that if we allies don't act now and wipe out those accursed Romans, they'll
00:04:01eventually destroy all of us.
00:04:02They're an ungodly people.
00:04:03They're all bandits.
00:04:04Bandits they are, but you mustn't speak of them as a people.
00:04:08For that, you've got to have women who are going to bear children for you, and the Romans
00:04:13have none.
00:04:14That's probably the secret of their success.
00:04:15They don't care if they're killed in battle.
00:04:16They've got nothing whatever to lose.
00:04:17The King of Janina!
00:04:18Another unfair blow by those thieving Romans.
00:04:19They struck without warning, and my soldiers had to retreat.
00:04:20I'm out 22 men and 200 sheep at the very least.
00:04:21Bring him some wine.
00:04:22I'm worried.
00:04:23We must join all of our forces with those of the Adiatines in the feed and dine.
00:04:24If we don't, the Romans will steal all we've got.
00:04:25I'm worried.

00:06:25I'm worried.
00:06:26I'm worried.
00:06:27I'm worried.
00:06:28I'm worried.
00:06:29I'm worried.
00:06:30I'm worried.
00:06:31I'm worried.
00:06:32I'm worried.
00:06:33I'm worried.
00:06:34Don't say that.
00:06:36I'm Dr. McNeil.
00:06:37What do you want?
00:06:38To become a Roman.
00:06:39I bought this horse for your king as a present.
00:06:41Can you tell me where he is?
00:06:42He can't see her now.
00:06:44He's talking to his father.
00:06:45His father?
00:06:46I thought he was the son of a god, Mars.
00:06:49Certainly.
00:06:50Now you understand why you have to wait.
00:06:51But he won't be long.
00:06:59Romulus.
00:07:00Coming.
00:07:04Why don't you wash your laundry in the river like the others?
00:07:10It would be much more convenient.
00:07:12Would be better all right, but less regal.
00:07:14After all, I do have a position to keep up.
00:07:16Well, tell me, high priest, how are my Romans today?
00:07:19As usual, grumbling.
00:07:21They want women.
00:07:22Women?
00:07:23Oh, it's women.
00:07:24I'm king.
00:07:25I don't have one.
00:07:26They should look at me.
00:07:27They'd prefer to look at something else.
00:07:29But come along.
00:07:30It's time to receive the new citizen.
00:07:36Ave King Romulus!
00:07:38Ave King Romulus!
00:07:40Ave King Romulus!
00:07:41Ave King Romulus!
00:07:42Ave King Romulus!
00:07:43Ave King Romulus!
00:07:44Ave King Romulus!
00:07:45Ave King Romulus!
00:07:46There'll be more fresh eggs at some better motello.
00:07:49Lino?
00:07:50This is the stranger you saw yesterday.
00:07:52We gave him the test, and the furrow he plowed was perfect.
00:07:55Fine.
00:07:56You're now a citizen of Rome.
00:07:57Then you're going to give me some land?
00:07:59I'll give you the right to cultivate some.
00:08:01You can even expect to get killed defending it.
00:08:03But the land still belongs to Rome.
00:08:11You want to become a citizen?
00:08:13Yes.
00:08:15I have.
00:08:17Why?
00:08:18They're hunting me down.
00:08:20I took a neighbor's cow without asking him.
00:08:23Then six men came to make me give it back.
00:08:27So I had to kill all of them.
00:08:31All six?
00:08:33Well, yes, all six.
00:08:36You're a citizen.
00:08:38All we needed was the land.
00:08:39You've got one all right.
00:08:42Well, I'm listening.
00:08:43First allow me to give you this horse, old King of Rome.
00:08:45It's yours.
00:08:46No matter how you put it, the horse belongs to me.
00:08:49Suppose you remain a stranger, then I shall steal it.
00:08:52And should you become a citizen, then the horse is mine anyway.
00:08:55But in any case, I want me to the horse.
00:08:57Why not?
00:08:59Nor the man.
00:09:00Your thumb is missing.
00:09:01An accident.
00:09:02No, you come from out here where they cut the thumbs off cheats.
00:09:05Cheats are cowards.
00:09:06Sleepers.
00:09:09All right, you heard him.
00:09:14Now, you new citizens, you'll get acquainted with Roman justice.
00:09:25I lost a hen.
00:09:26He stole it.
00:09:27His head broke into my fields and ate my grain for over a week.
00:09:30Therefore, he's mine.
00:09:31Silence.
00:09:32The hen returns to its owner.
00:09:34Oh, but all eggs laid by the hen for the next week belong to the other man.
00:09:38So much for that.
00:09:39Next one.
00:09:45We caught him in the act, stealing a horse.
00:09:47He's a thief.
00:09:48He's a thief.
00:09:49He's a thief.
00:09:50He's a thief.
00:09:51He's a thief.
00:09:52He's a thief.
00:09:53He's a thief.
00:09:54Yes.
00:09:55Stealing a horse.
00:09:56From Rome?
00:09:57No, from the Etruscans.
00:10:00Well, that's none of our business.
00:10:02One horse less to the Etruscans is one more to Rome.
00:10:06You're free now.
00:10:07Go and good luck be with you.
00:10:12Your king, the physician's ship is tied up at the banks of the Tiber.
00:10:15We asked them for landing tax.
00:10:17To show how they felt they killed three of our collectors.
00:10:19We need reinforcements.
00:10:21How many of them are there?
00:10:22About 100.
00:10:23Twenty men.
00:10:24Numa.
00:10:28More trouble.
00:10:29Fifty men.
00:10:31That chief is trying to get away with the horse he gave you.
00:10:33I hope you let the stranger get outside of Rome.
00:10:35Certainly, by at least this much he was.
00:10:37Well, you could have let him get that.
00:10:39Thank you, Dr. O'Neil.
00:10:53Help!
00:10:56Help!
00:10:57Help!
00:10:59Help!
00:11:07Help!
00:11:09Help!
00:11:12Help!
00:11:19Help!
00:11:20Help!
00:11:22Help!
00:11:23Help!
00:11:48Flip it over!
00:11:49On the ship!
00:11:54Help!
00:11:58Help!
00:12:16A woman!
00:12:17Who?
00:12:18A woman!
00:12:23I think so, let's go and find out.
00:12:33Wait!
00:12:34Anyone who doesn't participate in the unloading of goods will be excluded from a share.
00:13:15I hope she's worth the chase.
00:13:44She is!
00:14:13Ah, looks like we've lost her.
00:14:42Stay away, Roman!
00:14:52Very pretty.
00:14:55So you, what's your name?
00:15:01For you, my name is Death!
00:15:06You're beautiful when you're angry, but I'm sure you're even more beautiful when you're
00:15:24up.
00:15:25What could you understand about love?
00:15:28You're a Roman.
00:15:29They're all uncivilized like you.
00:15:30What are you in Rome?
00:15:31The king.
00:15:32Ah.
00:15:33And what is Rome, anyway?
00:15:34A people?
00:15:35A nation?
00:15:36At this moment, it's a simple village.
00:15:37It's the first grain of the harvest which will one day cover the earth.
00:15:38That is, if gods will listen to me and the people obey me.
00:15:39You're handsome.
00:15:40If I should listen, would you take me back to Rome?
00:15:41Ah, yes.
00:15:42I would.
00:15:43You'd be one against 1,000 men, 1,000 wolves, with very sharp teeth.
00:16:10One doesn't touch the wife of the king.
00:16:13One can't touch his widow.
00:16:14It only takes one stroke with a sword in Rome.
00:16:20They don't like you?
00:16:21They'll like you even more.
00:16:22What do you want me to do, then?
00:16:23To wait.
00:16:24I'm not good at waiting.
00:16:25You'll learn.
00:16:46What is your name?
00:16:47Romulus.
00:16:48All right.
00:16:49I agree to wait, Romulus.
00:16:51But I won't wait forever, I promise you that.
00:16:59My name is Duja.
00:17:01In the Phoenician tongue, Duja is the one who returns.
00:17:14You must remember that.
00:17:16She's gone.
00:17:17This is no life.
00:17:18We can't even meet a woman.
00:17:19And to think that back in my country I had all I wanted.
00:17:29There's an abandoned cave on the slope of the hill.
00:17:31You won't have any trouble finding it.
00:17:33I'll bring the women's clothing.
00:17:40You'll visit me often?
00:17:43Every night.
00:17:45Kings become human beings at night.
00:17:49And I'll be queen one day.
00:17:53Well, first we'd have to get approval from my father.
00:17:56Who is your father?
00:17:58Mars.
00:17:59The god of war?
00:18:02I'm not afraid of him.
00:18:04The god of war.
00:18:06Haven't we to fear someone else from now on?
00:18:08The god of love.
00:18:19I'm afraid that we Roman ambassadors are less dignified than others who have come here.
00:18:44We're pleased to know that the Romans have ambassadors.
00:18:48We'd always believed that you were the most warlike of people.
00:18:52We finally realize that a man needs more than fighting in his life.
00:18:57Can you tell me what you're here for?
00:18:59I'm sorry, but it's a rather delicate subject.
00:19:01To be discussed with the king of the Sabines alone.
00:19:04My name is Rhea.
00:19:06Daughter of the king.
00:19:08Ah, that's a girl.
00:19:10And a princess, too.
00:19:11Well, she can't help that, but is she pretty?
00:19:14Excuse him, he's short-sighted. He only sees things when they're very close.
00:19:18I'll describe her to you.
00:19:20She's blonde and beautifully curly.
00:19:22With graceful limbs.
00:19:24And breasts like a goddess.
00:19:26You Romans are beasts.
00:19:28You are speaking of a Sabine princess.
00:19:32Does my gown tell you nothing?
00:19:34That's just what I was trying to explain to him, Rhea.
00:19:36I am a vestal virgin of the goddess.
00:19:39You must speak to us with respect.
00:19:42It is quite clear to me there is one important virtue that the Romans lack.
00:19:46Ah, I bet so, wouldn't you?
00:19:48Good breeding.
00:20:12Will the Roman ambassadors explain to us why they're here?
00:20:16Who is your spokesman?
00:20:18Make your speech now.
00:20:22Oh, King Titus.
00:20:24To you, who govern this beautiful and peaceful country, the Sabines...
00:20:28Mention the women.
00:20:30And the Sabines...
00:20:32To you, we bring a message from our most beloved king.
00:20:36And the Sabines...
00:20:38To you, we bring a message from our most beloved and eligible monarch of Rome.
00:20:43Romulus.
00:20:45I understand everything but the use of the term eligible.
00:20:48Why is it used?
00:20:49That will be explained.
00:20:51Go ahead.
00:20:53Anxious to tie ever tighter the bonds of friendship between Romans and Sabines...
00:20:57Who've been close neighbors for years now.
00:21:00And in order to make the Sabines cockles...
00:21:03Excuse me, I'm a bit flustered. Cousins.
00:21:05Our wise king Romulus has a wonderful idea.
00:21:09In other words, you've decided to get married and so you've come to me.
00:21:35To you. Well, in a manner of speaking.
00:21:37Agreeing to this would be the same as condemning our young men here to remain bachelors.
00:21:41No. I'm sorry, it's impossible.
00:21:44The Sabine women are only for the Sabine men.
00:21:47Moreover, our gods have said no.
00:21:49But ours have said yes.
00:21:50Sabine gods are true. Yours are false.
00:21:52What's the difference?
00:21:54Of course, it was our intention to pay well for these women.
00:21:57With our best head of cattle.
00:21:59Which you stole from me, thank you very much.
00:22:01In short, you refuse us.
00:22:03Yes.
00:22:04But when you find women, why legalize things?
00:22:06I think being married is something special.
00:22:10Except in certain cases, of course I don't refer to them.
00:22:14Romulus won't like this.
00:22:16Too bad for him.
00:22:17But all that I'm willing to offer you is a pitcher of new wine and some fresh sausages.
00:22:23Thank you.
00:22:37Sabine flies.
00:22:40Hey!
00:22:42Look!
00:22:43They're women.
00:22:48Women? Where are they?
00:22:50That way?
00:22:52Let's go down.
00:22:53This way?
00:22:54Careful.
00:22:56Careful.
00:23:05Look, it's a bear.
00:23:08There they are.
00:23:09Where are they?
00:23:10There, see? Right down there.
00:23:14Maybe they're traveling salesmen.
00:23:16Salesmen? No.
00:23:17They're ambassadors from Rome who've been up at the palace visiting King Tiger.
00:23:21They're Romans? Quick, let's hide!
00:23:23But why?
00:23:24I've heard that they feed on human flesh.
00:23:27Where did you hear that story?
00:23:29They may bite a little, but nothing else.
00:23:31And they have the nicest teeth.
00:23:33If I had to choose, I'd prefer the young ones.
00:23:36Is it true they came to ask for our girls as their wives?
00:23:39Yes, but I've heard the king turn them down.
00:23:41They say the Romans mustn't be allowed to have any children.
00:23:44But why?
00:23:45I just judged you because they'd eat them.
00:23:49Look at the brunette.
00:23:51She's for me.
00:23:52And you?
00:23:53The little redhead.
00:23:55I'd give the gods everything that I have in this world if they'd let me hold her for just one minute.
00:24:00I see them now.
00:24:01There's one of them standing up.
00:24:02She's got long hair hanging to the ground.
00:24:04She's pretty.
00:24:05There.
00:24:06That's a weeping willow.
00:24:09They're talking about us.
00:24:11I wonder why.
00:24:12I don't even want to think about it.
00:24:14Some of those Romans have been without women for years, you know.
00:24:19You have to go.
00:24:20Yes, I'm worried.
00:24:21They might be choosing one of us for dinner.
00:24:25Help me!
00:24:26I'm drowning!
00:24:27Help!
00:24:31I'm drowning!
00:24:33What's going on?
00:24:34His sweetheart fell in the river.
00:24:37What river?
00:24:41Help me!
00:24:42Help me!
00:24:44Help me!
00:24:45No!
00:24:46Not you!
00:24:47Let go of me!
00:24:48Don't you touch me!
00:24:50Help!
00:24:53Help me!
00:25:08Why are you trapped?
00:25:09It's all over.
00:25:12What are you afraid of?
00:25:13I'm not going to eat you.
00:25:17Do I really frighten you so much?
00:25:21Do you think that I'm evil?
00:25:25Or brutal?
00:25:28Am I ugly?
00:25:31Then what's wrong?
00:25:34You're a Roman.
00:25:36You're right.
00:25:37I am a Roman.
00:25:39But do you know why?
00:25:40Because once in my village, when I saw a man beating my dog, I started to beat the man.
00:25:46Except that I hit him too hard, I'm afraid.
00:25:48And his family was powerful.
00:25:50So I became a Roman.
00:25:53Many people have found freedom there.
00:26:02What's your name?
00:26:05Lavinia.
00:26:07My name is Lino.
00:26:11Now you're trembling.
00:26:13Because I'm afraid.
00:26:15Of me?
00:26:17Yes.
00:26:18And of what you have come to mean to me, certainly.
00:26:23When I was up fighting against the Umbrians last year, a man stood up from behind a bush.
00:26:29First I thought he held the sun in his hands.
00:26:31Then I saw it was a bow.
00:26:33Only by that time an arrow was in my breast.
00:26:36You struck me like that arrow, Lavinia.
00:26:40Maybe I shouldn't tell you, but when we saw you up there first,
00:26:44one of my friends pointed at you and said, there's the one I prefer.
00:26:48I felt like crying all of a sudden.
00:26:50Silly, wasn't it?
00:27:06Well, where are they?
00:27:12Ah, he knows where they are.
00:27:14It's a sort, isn't it?
00:27:15Not so fast.
00:27:35Duzia!
00:27:41Duzia!
00:27:44Duzia!
00:27:47Duzia!
00:27:52Duzia!
00:28:03Where were you?
00:28:06I was looking through the cave.
00:28:08We women are curious, you know.
00:28:10I'm sorry if you've had to wait.
00:28:13The Phoenicians are known for their sense of exploration.
00:28:17Yes, but we explore the sea, not the land.
00:28:21Sea.
00:28:23Duzia.
00:28:26Beyond those mountains,
00:28:28there's a sea as stretched out,
00:28:30like a beautiful girl at the feet of another.
00:28:32The day Rome conquers the sea,
00:28:34she'll conquer the world.
00:28:38That's foolish.
00:28:39Must you always think of more victories?
00:28:43With only a thousand men in Rome,
00:28:45isn't it time you gave more thought to the woman who'll soon be your wife?
00:28:49I come to see you whenever I can.
00:28:51Who comes to see me?
00:28:53My lover?
00:28:55No, I never hear anything but your worries,
00:28:58your hopes, and your dreams about Rome.
00:29:00I'm jealous.
00:29:02I hate Rome.
00:29:04It's you I want.
00:29:08Don't blame me, Duzia.
00:29:10I think kings will always make bad lovers.
00:29:20Come.
00:29:31Who are they?
00:29:33It's the ambassadors I sent off to Sabinia in search for women.
00:29:36Perhaps they were successful.
00:29:56Well?
00:30:00Well?
00:30:30Well?
00:31:00Romans!
00:31:02If you're wondering why your faces are red,
00:31:05it's because they've been slapped.
00:31:08Here are the brides sent us by the Sabinians.
00:31:30War!
00:31:32You all know that I've always been one of the first to reach for the sword.
00:31:35Yet despite everything, I'm not going to wage war.
00:31:38You don't think we should fight, but a lot of others do.
00:31:41And we're going into battle without you.
00:31:43Whenever we need new sheep, what do we do?
00:31:45We don't stand here and talk.
00:31:47We kill off the farmer and take away his flock.
00:31:49He's right.
00:31:50Why do you want to treat women like animals?
00:31:52Sheep have no memory, but women do.
00:31:55Do you think for one moment that if we kill and massacre their fathers and brothers,
00:31:58they will succumb to us so easily?
00:32:00So you beat them if you have to.
00:32:02That will get results.
00:32:04Certainly.
00:32:05You think so?
00:32:07Wolkers, a marriage is under the best circumstances one hour of love daily.
00:32:12Eight hours for sleep and fifteen for conversation.
00:32:16That's why I think that my idea is best.
00:32:19Lino, tell us what you think about the Sabinians.
00:32:23Ah, they're marvelous.
00:32:25Luscious as the fruit that hangs heavy on the grapevine.
00:32:28Their smell is like honey.
00:32:30Touch you?
00:32:32Of course, I'm speaking of Sabine women in general.
00:32:35General, of course. We understand.
00:32:37Now listen.
00:32:39In a few months, the Sabinians are going to be celebrating their harvest.
00:32:43Let's prepare ourselves.
00:32:45We shall all be going.
00:32:47To ask for the hand of the Sabine maiden?
00:32:50Yes, Wolkers.
00:32:52But my way.
00:32:54The Roman way.
00:32:56And if others feel as strongly as I do, tonight we leave Rome.
00:33:04When I saw that woman at the river, I knew I had to have one.
00:33:08No matter what the cost.
00:33:10And because I can't have one while I'm in Rome, I'll have to get one somewhere else.
00:33:14There's only one thing worthwhile in life, and that's love.
00:33:18Ah, that's imbecile.
00:33:25I didn't see that woman.
00:33:27But long life to her.
00:33:29Tarquinio is right.
00:33:32So I'm leaving here too.
00:33:34And if Romulus wants to stop me, let him.
00:33:37All right, Wolkers.
00:33:39I'm trying.
00:33:48Now you listen to me.
00:33:50No one is going to leave Rome because you are Roman. Is that clear?
00:33:52If you want women, you'll have them.
00:33:54Tell us how.
00:33:56And whose women?
00:33:58The other tribes, they detest us. They won't speak to us now.
00:34:00The Etruscans say even the best Romans are bad ones.
00:34:02The Sabines say the Romans are robbers.
00:34:04All right, whose fault is it?
00:34:06We are.
00:34:08Let this be the end.
00:34:11If you want to be loved, then you have to deserve it.
00:34:14There'll be no more violence, no more stealing. We've stolen enough.
00:34:18Become honest.
00:34:19All right.
00:34:21What are we supposed to do now?
00:34:23Wash.
00:34:27It's my wish
00:34:29that within two months
00:34:31the Sabines, the Etruscans and everyone else around
00:34:34will say he is handsome like a Roman.
00:34:49I'll bet you two hands on my Sabines.
00:34:51I'll accept that bet.
00:35:20What's the matter?
00:35:22What are you doing?
00:35:47It's him! Catch him!
00:35:48Run!
00:35:57Don't be afraid, we come as friends.
00:36:00We're here to robes invite.
00:36:02All right, you keep quiet now if you're going to act unpleasant.
00:36:14Greetings, King of Sabinia.
00:36:18I'm Romulus.
00:36:19King of Rome.
00:36:21Greetings to you, Romulus.
00:36:23I'd like to present the kings of Tenina
00:36:26and of Costume.
00:36:29I think we've met each other already.
00:36:31My father, the god of Mars, is with me.
00:36:34Is that beautiful goddess sitting at your side
00:36:36your wife by any chance?
00:36:37This girl?
00:36:38No, she's my daughter, Ria.
00:36:40That one's my wife.
00:36:43They do look alike, don't they?
00:36:49She's a Vestal Virgin, Romulus.
00:36:51We have consecrated her to the gods.
00:36:55Why didn't you consecrate her to the sons of the gods?
00:37:02Now look what you've done.
00:37:08And now we must apologize for having arrived so late.
00:37:11I'm sorry, King of Sabinia.
00:37:13I'm sorry, King of Rome.
00:37:15I'm sorry.
00:37:16And now we must apologize for having arrived without invitation.
00:37:19But we wanted to thank you officially
00:37:21for the excellent pigs you sent us.
00:37:24We're glad they pleased you.
00:37:26But the whole of Rome shouldn't have come to thank us
00:37:28in all this heat.
00:37:30Oh, don't worry. We brought our own wine.
00:37:32Will you do us the honor of trying some?
00:37:36My good Sabinian friends
00:37:39and the friends of my Sabinian friends,
00:37:41the rest is yours.
00:37:43Drink to the health of Rome.
00:37:47Come on, everybody drink.
00:37:51Now do Targuinio.
00:37:53No drinking for the Romans.
00:37:55Oh, I forgot.
00:38:09The real wine drinkers.
00:38:17To the friendship between the Sabines and the Romans,
00:38:19boundless as the sea,
00:38:21which gave birth to Venus, goddess of love.
00:38:23To Venus.
00:38:25And the Sabine women were as beautiful as Venus.
00:38:46Take a place here with us, Romulus.
00:38:48Only the best seat in the house for our guest.
00:39:17You seem shocked to see me.
00:39:19Doesn't it please you?
00:39:21Well, it was a surprise.
00:39:23I couldn't let you know we were coming.
00:39:25It was a secret.
00:39:27If you had to stay with Rome or with me,
00:39:29which would you choose?
00:39:31Both of you.
00:39:33I decided long ago.
00:39:35I can't live without you or without Rome.
00:39:37What should I say?
00:39:39My father and my brothers would die
00:39:41rather than give me to a Roman.
00:39:43Oh, take me with you.
00:39:44I'm afraid they'll separate us.
00:39:53I recognize you.
00:39:55You're the one who threw that big axe
00:39:57that cut the rope.
00:39:59Then all by yourself you lifted that barrel.
00:40:01I bet you don't know your own strength.
00:40:04In Rome there's no man stronger than I.
00:40:06And only one with more brain.
00:40:08Romulus.
00:40:14What's your name?
00:40:16Sylvia.
00:40:18Such a nice name.
00:40:20And I think you're very nice.
00:40:22And be sure you're wearing the same nice dress.
00:40:24Or I may lose you in the confusion.
00:40:26It is pretty, isn't it?
00:40:28Yes.
00:40:30And I promise when the time comes for us to...
00:40:32To do what?
00:40:34It's a surprise.
00:40:45Oh!
00:40:47An apple!
00:40:50Why don't you sit down here next to me?
00:40:52The light's better.
00:40:54I'm nothing special.
00:40:56But I don't want you to miss anything.
00:40:58Can you see me when I'm this close?
00:41:00Yes, I see you.
00:41:02You're a dream.
00:41:04Do you think you might care?
00:41:06James, but you're really very fascinating.
00:41:08You know your eyes are really quite beautiful
00:41:10even though you can't see very much with them.
00:41:12They're so deep and tender.
00:41:14Thank you.
00:41:16That'll be so important when the time comes.
00:41:18Time comes.
00:41:20Oh, nothing.
00:41:22It's a surprise.
00:41:42They're all drunk.
00:41:44Let's go. We're ready.
00:41:46All right. I'll be back.
00:41:55The most beautiful girl here to stay so far away
00:41:57from her father's guests shows disrespect.
00:42:00The Vestals are only priestesses of the gods, Romulus.
00:42:04They owe nothing to men.
00:42:07Not even a smile.
00:42:10You should be ashamed of yourself.
00:42:12Everyone knows priestesses deserve respect.
00:42:14From kings as well.
00:42:17But what if the kings are the sons of gods?
00:42:20You forget that my father's name is Mars.
00:42:23I'll wait until Mars tells me.
00:42:25Farewell.
00:42:27Are you afraid of me?
00:42:31Everything about Rome frightens me.
00:42:33What are you doing here?
00:42:35Why did you bring so much wine?
00:42:37Why are the Sabines all drunk now
00:42:39while the Romans are sober?
00:42:41Why do your men never turn their eyes from you?
00:42:42Because they're waiting for an order?
00:42:44Or a signal?
00:42:46You have the imagination of a small child.
00:42:48I order them to behave decently
00:42:50and create a good impression.
00:42:52Now they're afraid to move. That's all.
00:42:54I could believe that.
00:42:56If some other man had said it.
00:43:09Romulus is about to give the signal.
00:43:10Quickly! To your horses!
00:43:28Don't pay any attention to Titus.
00:43:32Don't let him drink anymore.
00:43:34I guess you're right.
00:43:41Have some more wine, Romulus.
00:43:43Thank you. No, I've had enough.
00:43:47Give some wine to my friend here.
00:43:50Thank you.
00:44:06Now we'll show you our job.
00:44:08Now we'll show you our surprise.
00:44:10Well, the both of us.
00:44:12There's a signal.
00:44:14So it's up to you.
00:44:22My dear Sabine friend.
00:44:24Silence, please.
00:44:26Listen to me.
00:44:28Come in a little closer.
00:44:30I'll teach you a game we used to play back home
00:44:32when I was a boy.
00:44:38First, the lady should gather on my left
00:44:41and the gentleman should go to my right.
00:44:43I'll explain the rest afterwards.
00:45:00And now I'll count to ten.
00:45:02When I reach ten, the game begins.
00:45:04What do we have to do?
00:45:07Nothing.
00:45:11The less you do, the better.
00:45:14One.
00:45:17Two.
00:45:19Three.
00:45:21Four.
00:45:23Five.
00:45:24Six.
00:45:25Seven.
00:45:26Eight.
00:45:27Nine.
00:45:28Ten!
00:45:34What are you doing?
00:45:35I don't know, but it looks like you're being evaded.
00:45:36I don't like him!
00:45:39I forbid you to touch me!
00:45:41I'm one of the best!
00:45:42I'm only trying to save you.
00:45:43Save me?
00:45:44You organized all this, you sneaky devil!
00:45:46Did I kiss?
00:45:47No!
00:46:05My hat!
00:46:10No! No! No!
00:46:12What do you think you're doing?
00:46:14Let her go!
00:46:16Let her go, I said!
00:46:18Who's going to make me?
00:46:29Let go!
00:46:35No!
00:46:36Put me down!
00:46:37No! No!
00:46:38Relax!
00:46:39Put me down!
00:46:40No!
00:46:50Hey!
00:46:51Put that girl down.
00:46:52You can't have her.
00:46:53But she's not one.
00:46:54She's not for me.
00:46:55She's for Mezio.
00:46:56For me?
00:46:58Oh, Mezio!
00:46:59Mezio!
00:47:00Mezio!
00:47:04Thank you.
00:47:05You're welcome.
00:47:16Finish!
00:47:17I'm her husband, but I give her to you gladly!
00:47:20Good luck!
00:47:35No!
00:47:55Hey, you!
00:48:01At last!
00:48:02My love!
00:48:03Oh, no!
00:48:05You see, it's all a knowing how.
00:48:10At last!
00:48:11My love!
00:48:13Oh, you don't have to pull my hair!
00:48:34Mezio!
00:48:36Mezio!
00:48:38Mezio!
00:48:39Mezio!
00:48:40Mezio!
00:48:59No!
00:49:00No!
00:49:01No!
00:49:03Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
00:49:33oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
00:49:48you must be thirsty too come and drink
00:49:58Forgive me for thinking about my horse first
00:50:00but at this moment of the three of us is the most useful
00:50:02We're still a long way from Rome.
00:50:06Why did we come this way?
00:50:10You know the Sabine horses. They're fast, but at the same time they tire quickly.
00:50:17Do you want to rest before we continue?
00:50:20Is it your horse or me that you're thinking about?
00:50:24About both of you this time.
00:50:33I'm sure you never hated anyone as much as you hate me.
00:50:37You stand for what I detest. Deception and violence.
00:50:41You think I'm going to let Rome perish because three peasants with crowns on their heads say so?
00:50:46No, now that we have the Sabine women, they will either have to bow their heads to us or come and take the women back by force.
00:50:52They'll come and they'll fight. And the death of every Roman and Sabine will rest on your shoulders.
00:50:57On your shoulders?
00:51:02You're very beautiful.
00:51:05During the festivities, I chose you because you were the king's daughter.
00:51:09But only as a hostage.
00:51:12Now, having held you in my arms, in these last few hours, everything has changed.
00:51:17Not even the distance of one hand separates your mind from mine.
00:51:27Let's go.
00:51:57Now get your horse and run along home.
00:52:27THE END

00:53:57© BF-WATCH TV 2021
00:54:28Let's get back to Rome. My people will be alarmed.
00:54:35Go alone, Romulus. Let me return to my father.
00:54:42You can ask me for anything you desire, but please don't ask me to lose you.
00:54:46Listen to me. At first I looked upon you with hate.
00:54:52But now I'm afraid.
00:54:54But now I'm afraid.
00:54:57It's become something else that's not possible.
00:55:01It's not possible, Romulus.
00:55:04Since I was a child, I belonged to the gods.
00:55:07Romulus, don't scorn them.
00:55:11Why shouldn't I? I've scorned the earth and it still carries me.
00:55:16Come. You're going to Rome tonight, either as a slave or as a queen.
00:55:21You have a choice, but you're going to Rome anyway.
00:55:51THE END
00:56:08Why were they locked in the tower?
00:56:11Dyer, I gave the order.
00:56:13All of our men are about to break loose.
00:56:16Look, down there.
00:56:18The first one to raise his hand against his fellow man over a woman will have it cut off.
00:56:23Is that clear?
00:56:26Locks will be drawn for the women.
00:56:29Now, who has something to say?
00:56:31I do. I must refuse to obey.
00:56:35What's the matter with you, Lino? You've always been on my side.
00:56:38Do you now turn against me?
00:56:40You pushed me to it. The blame is yours just as much as it is mine.
00:56:43We'll settle this later.
00:56:45No, this minute.
00:56:47Remember that I am your king.
00:56:49I've been a loyal subject to a king who's forgotten his duty.
00:56:52I said that locks will be drawn for the women and that's how it will be.
00:56:55No, Romulus. I don't care what you say.
00:56:57The girl of Enya belongs to me.
00:56:59So, one woman's enough to make you my enemy.
00:57:02Your troubles are beginning, but you can still put things right.
00:57:06Return the Sabine girl.
00:57:08And forget this wild idea.
00:57:11No. This night, Rome will either perish or go forward.
00:57:14And I say she will go forward.
00:57:16I care absolutely nothing for their howls or your tears.
00:57:20You only have to live. I have to rule.
00:57:23Take her away.
00:57:29As for you, Lino, you obey like the rest.
00:57:33Rome has one law. It applies to everyone.
00:57:36What about you?
00:57:38What about the Sabine king's daughter?
00:57:40Now you'll have to put her with the others.
00:57:42You'll have the trust of your good luck.
00:57:45Sire.
00:57:47You cannot break the law we were given by you.
00:57:50You said that a man who started a quarrel over one of these women would lose his hand.
00:57:54Romulus.
00:57:56I think that I should be allowed to say something too.
00:57:59Lino is right.
00:58:02Silence, woman.
00:58:04If you don't keep quiet, I'll have my guards lash you.
00:58:06No, you won't.
00:58:14Release those men at once. That's an order.
00:58:17You're in no position to give us orders.
00:58:19We barricaded the gates, so don't think you can break in.
00:58:22I'll have you taken by storm.
00:58:24You don't fight, lads.
00:58:26We found where you keep your weapons, down in the cellar.
00:58:35You'd better ask them what they want.
00:58:38You won't be the first man, nor the first king, to bend his knee before a woman.
00:58:45I take it you wish to propose conditions.
00:58:48I agree to them all beforehand, except for one.
00:58:51You shall not have your freedom.
00:58:53Well, I'm listening.
00:58:55We want you all to realize that ladies are delicate and mustn't ever be manhandled.
00:58:59Yes, we're delicate, we are.
00:59:01And no man can win any of us in a lottery.
00:59:05We'll do the selecting.
00:59:11All right, you can each choose your own man.
00:59:14You have my word, is that all?
00:59:16No.
00:59:18You not only kidnap young girls, but old ladies and devoted mothers.
00:59:21The young girls can stay here if they want to.
00:59:23All the others must be returned immediately to their families or to their husbands.
00:59:27Oh, no.
00:59:34Silence!
00:59:36The girl is right. Now, is there anything else?
00:59:39No, that's all.
00:59:40That's all.
00:59:43Then everything shall be as you asked.
00:59:46Come on out now.
00:59:48As for you, you form in lines.
00:59:51Right now! Right now!
00:59:54Next one.
00:59:56Could I choose you?
01:00:03No, I'm afraid not.
01:00:05Thank you for the honor, though, but I do have to turn it down.
01:00:08Would you please look for someone else?
01:00:11Oh.
01:00:14I'm sorry.
01:00:16I'm sorry.
01:00:18I'm sorry.
01:00:20I'm sorry.
01:00:22I'm sorry.
01:00:23I'm sorry.
01:00:30I can't make up my mind. There's so many.
01:00:33Would you like me to help you?
01:00:36Glorious!
01:00:42He is somewhat of a brother and a son to all of us.
01:00:45You couldn't make a better choice.
01:00:47Do you like him?
01:00:51Yes.
01:00:52Yes.
01:01:02Why two together?
01:01:04You both wish the same, ma'am?
01:01:06No. We both made our choices before.
01:01:09Mine is named Metzio and mine is named Stillicone.
01:01:12Metzio! Stillicone!
01:01:17No, yours is the other one.
01:01:22Thank you very much.
01:01:33Next one.
01:01:36I must warn you not to insult the sister of General Albus Cotelius.
01:01:40My father is a general, too. He's the bravest in the Sabine Army.
01:01:46A general, eh?
01:01:48Then I'm quite sure he'll be delighted if his daughter marries a soldier.
01:01:51There is my entire army. Make your choice.
01:01:58Oh!
01:02:00Don't be afraid. I want to help you.
01:02:04You'll help me?
01:02:06Yes. But you must do as I say.
01:02:08Listen, those drunken Romans are all off guard.
01:02:10They're busy dividing the Sabine girls.
01:02:12But someone might come.
01:02:14We haven't much time. Do you want to escape?
01:02:17Who are you?
01:02:18What does it matter?
01:02:21I could escape from here.
01:02:23There are two different ways.
01:02:25But I must save one for myself.
01:02:27Can you ride?
01:02:29Very well, but...
01:02:31There will be a horse tied up outside waiting for you.
01:02:33When you see a torch lighted in the tower above,
01:02:35you ride as fast as you can through the gate.
01:02:39But...
01:02:41No buts. You want to escape from Rome or don't you?
01:02:45Yes, of course.
01:02:47I must.
01:02:50Don't you trust me?
01:02:54Why?
01:02:56Should you help me?
01:02:59I'm helping myself.
01:03:01You're pretty, you know.
01:03:04He held you very close when you rode into the city in front of him.
01:03:09Romulus?
01:03:11Romulus, yes.
01:03:12You're his wife?
01:03:14No.
01:03:16And I don't think I ever will be.
01:03:18But no one will take my place.
01:03:26Do you want to go?
01:03:29Romulus told me he loved me.
01:03:31That's what he told me once.
01:03:33Well?
01:03:35But he swore to me.
01:03:37And last week he swore to me.
01:03:39Are you listening?
01:03:40And last week he swore to me.
01:03:42Are you leaving?
01:03:52When?
01:03:54Right now.
01:03:56You're clear about it.
01:03:58First the horse, then the torch on the tower.
01:04:00And you'll be free.
01:04:06I don't know you, Roman, so you help me.
01:04:07I want one who is rather tall.
01:04:11Not too bad looking.
01:04:13Tender, intelligent.
01:04:15Reasonably faithful.
01:04:17Sober and a hard worker.
01:04:21Do I take it you want 11 men all for yourself?
01:04:33Ria!
01:04:35Ria!
01:04:38Get me a horse.
01:04:40Hurry!
01:04:42Don't do it. Not one of you move. Do you hear me?
01:04:46What did you say, Numa?
01:04:48Are you giving orders now?
01:04:50I'll give them when you're not capable of it.
01:04:52Ria has escaped.
01:04:54I'd hoped she would.
01:04:56You would have Rome suffer the consequence of your sacrilege,
01:04:58for Ria is a vestal and belongs to the gods.
01:05:00I care nothing for the gods.
01:05:02Be careful what you say.
01:05:04Men have no respect for a king who has no respect for himself.
01:05:05Learn to rule yourself if you wish to rule others.
01:05:21I was ready to hate you, Romulus.
01:05:24Then when I knew you and found how good you were,
01:05:27I was ready to love you.
01:05:29If it were possible.
01:05:31If it were only possible.
01:05:33If it were only possible.
01:05:34If it were only possible.
01:06:01Romulus?
01:06:04Sir?
01:06:12How did you manage to get into Rome?
01:06:14Please go away.
01:06:17I hid near the gate outside.
01:06:19No one saw me there.
01:06:21It opened and a young girl raced out on a horse.
01:06:23It gave me a chance to slip through.
01:06:26I need no one.
01:06:30Why not admit you need me?
01:06:35Why say you need no one?
01:06:37Look at me.
01:06:41You want to rule over Rome,
01:06:43and yet tonight you're the loneliest
01:06:45and most wretched of all the Romans.
01:06:52Listen to me.
01:06:54I love you,
01:06:56and I don't even hate that girl who ran away.
01:06:58It's Rome.
01:07:00It's Rome.
01:07:02It's Rome.
01:07:04It's the walls of Rome that stand between us.
01:07:08Come to Phoenicia with me, Romulus.
01:07:14Please go.
01:07:16I'm sorry, I don't want you anymore.
01:07:19Take anything you need.
01:07:21Gold, jewelry, cattle.
01:07:23Please go.
01:07:31You hoped to buy me off,
01:07:32but it's too late for that now.
01:07:34You'll pay for this insult, I swear.
01:08:03You want to rule over Rome,
01:08:06and yet tonight you're the loneliest
01:08:08and most wretched of all the Romans.
01:08:32I love you.
01:08:34I love you.
01:09:02I love you.
01:09:04I love you.
01:09:33Good, Romulus.
01:09:36You must rest now.
01:09:39Here is Mars, your patron and guide,
01:09:42the great god of war you call your father.
01:09:47Perhaps I am.
01:09:49I've never been sure.
01:09:55My land is not possible.
01:09:57I have to go.
01:09:59I have to go.
01:10:01My land, it's not possible
01:10:03that a son of mine should behave like this
01:10:05about women.
01:10:08That Sabine girl I see riding through your dreams
01:10:10is not for you.
01:10:13To love
01:10:15is to be weak, Romulus.
01:10:17Love conquers all.
01:10:20I hear it echo to the contrary.
01:10:24Listen, boy,
01:10:26there were several women in my life too,
01:10:28but I never traded my sword
01:10:30for a woman.
01:10:32Forget her.
01:10:34Don't do any such thing.
01:10:36Ah, it's you, Venus.
01:10:38I might have known.
01:10:40The eternal matchmaker.
01:10:42You know I must follow you
01:10:44and make up the losses when you start your wars.
01:10:46You'd certainly manage to destroy
01:10:48the population otherwise.
01:10:54And I wouldn't want this youngster
01:10:56to fall into that old trap of yours.
01:10:57Oh, handsome.
01:10:59Listen to me and not this marriage broker.
01:11:01You're a man.
01:11:03Any ordinary mortal
01:11:05would be grateful for my advice.
01:11:07He's different.
01:11:09You are a ruler.
01:11:11A ruler.
01:11:13Don't forget I've given advice to rulers too in my time.
01:11:15All right, then.
01:11:17You're a god.
01:11:19So he acknowledges he's your father, Romulus.
01:11:22Of all the gods,
01:11:24he's always been the most susceptible.
01:11:27I've seen him grovel.
01:11:29Yes, groveling before me.
01:11:31Begging me for a single kiss.
01:11:33Don't be foolish.
01:11:35I didn't tell him he should be chased.
01:11:37And I'd end up not giving in.
01:11:39I just can't resist uniforms, let's say.
01:11:42Do you want to know how long he pursued me?
01:11:443,000 years.
01:11:46No more than two, my dear.
01:11:48And for the most part, only out of pure politeness.
01:11:50And our situation was unique.
01:11:52I had eternal youth before me.
01:11:54But he...
01:11:55My boy.
01:11:57Even mortals who are the sons of gods
01:11:59must perish all too soon.
01:12:02Time is short lived.
01:12:05There's still time to love.
01:12:07Think of glory.
01:12:09The only immortality for mortals.
01:12:12All the great warriors have statues now in the squares.
01:12:15Where are the great husbands?
01:12:19All those warriors would be glad
01:12:21to forget their bronze horses
01:12:22for the opportunity of touching
01:12:24once more a warm, soft shoulder.
01:12:28Now farewell.
01:12:33Now Rhea's lips
01:12:35will taste like the lips of Eden.
01:12:40That's cheating.
01:12:43Why shouldn't I use all of my weapons?
01:12:45I never objected when you used yours, did I?
01:12:48Why don't you give him a kiss with your broadsword?
01:12:51See which one he prefers.
01:12:56Between ourselves,
01:12:58sun, Venus may be right.
01:13:17You all know as I do
01:13:19that I can't discuss this war
01:13:21in an official capacity.
01:13:23But we can get around that.
01:13:25You can count on me
01:13:27for a full group of 300 cavalrymen.
01:13:29All volunteers.
01:13:31I'll send 500 down with Rome.
01:13:33Down with Rome!
01:13:35Down!
01:13:37You're so generous, I'm touched.
01:13:39But aren't volunteers a little hard to find?
01:13:41Who asks them?
01:13:43They'll volunteer or be drafted.
01:13:45Down with the Romans!
01:13:47Everybody says I must conquer Rome.
01:13:49But Rome wasn't built in a day
01:13:51and she won't be conquered in one either.
01:13:53Then you mean you won't lead us?
01:13:55I'm against any war, even wars I win.
01:13:57And this one has no reason.
01:13:59You beget the Sabine girls who are outraged.
01:14:01On the contrary.
01:14:03It's them that I'm worried about.
01:14:05If we win, they'll be defenseless widows.
01:14:07If the Romans win, the girls will be orphans.
01:14:09My sister Albina was stolen by those Romans.
01:14:12The child who plays the lyre like Apollo.
01:14:14She writes verses.
01:14:15He speaks Greek like a native.
01:14:17Our family has suffered an insult.
01:14:19Only Roman blood can wash it away.
01:14:21I've never heard of blood washing anything away,
01:14:23Albus Cochilius.
01:14:29Father!
01:14:31It's not possible, I thought I'd lost you.
01:14:33Are you hurt, child?
01:14:35Don't worry, it's nothing.
01:14:37I escaped on horseback.
01:14:39They could have captured me without any trouble.
01:14:41They let me get away because of you.
01:14:43Praise to the gods who watch over us.
01:14:45Romulus showed respect for himself, father.
01:14:48My presence here is more than a gift of the gods.
01:14:51It's a king's homage.
01:14:57All around the palace, the smiths are making new weapons
01:15:00and children are playing with javelins.
01:15:02And young men ready to kill or be killed.
01:15:05Even before they're told about living.
01:15:08But you want a war, don't you?
01:15:10Yes.
01:15:12We'll capture Rome and wipe out every trace of it.
01:15:14You can't do this.
01:15:16Listen to me.
01:15:18The Romans acted as they did
01:15:20because you treated them as enemies.
01:15:22The Romans tried to show their friendship toward us
01:15:24and you treated them like criminals.
01:15:27What they did was wrong, but we were wrong too.
01:15:30Why don't you go and tell your story
01:15:32to the fathers and fiances of our Sabine girls?
01:15:34And please tell us when we voted
01:15:36to admit our daughters to our councils of war.
01:15:39I've tried everything I can.
01:15:40to convince them that they're wrong.
01:15:42But any warmonger is hard to convince.
01:15:44It's your alliance.
01:15:46You pay for it.
01:15:48Give them orders.
01:15:50There are always moments in dealing with good friends
01:15:52when one can only compromise.
01:15:54Leave us, Ria.
01:16:11Not one of you here knows anything at all about love.
01:16:15If you went to free the Sabine girls
01:16:17you wouldn't find one of them
01:16:19who's ready to leave her new husband.
01:16:21It's you.
01:16:23It's you who want war
01:16:25when you know it's easy to have peace.
01:16:31I'm sorry.
01:16:33I'm sorry.
01:16:35I'm sorry.
01:16:37I'm sorry.
01:16:38I'm sorry.
01:16:43Now that we've heard a little simple wisdom
01:16:46shall we get back to our royal insanity?
01:16:50Shall we talk about this war, Aldus Concilius?
01:16:53This war that we're supposed to fight
01:16:55because your sister speaks Greek?
01:17:08No.
01:17:36Diana, goddess of purity.
01:17:38Though I nearly broke your laws
01:17:40you must hear my prayer.
01:17:43If you won't stop them from fighting
01:17:45promise that Romulus will be saved.
01:17:48Even though Romulus dies.
01:17:51I love him.
01:17:59Sabine, you know I don't make war when I can avoid it.
01:18:02I hope you'll remember that after the blood is shed.
01:18:05The return of my daughter, Ria
01:18:06left the door open for peaceful negotiation.
01:18:09But you all seem to want a useless battle.
01:18:11There are times when kings
01:18:13whatever their opinions, have to obey.
01:18:15Well, you've made your choice
01:18:17and I must lead my people.
01:18:19May the gods protect us.
01:18:21Who is she?
01:18:23Our men picked this girl up outside the city.
01:18:25She has a message for you.
01:18:27It's not a message.
01:18:29It's a gift.
01:18:31I bring you Rome.
01:18:36Rome.
01:18:57What's going on?
01:18:59I don't know.
01:19:01I was so frightened.
01:19:03I thought they were starting a war.
01:19:04I don't know.
01:19:06It's the first time they've blown the horns inside the city walls.
01:19:08It must be important.
01:19:10You know, but you won't tell me.
01:19:12Now be patient.
01:19:14Go home and wait for me.
01:19:16Flaminia, Flaminia.
01:19:18Silicon.
01:19:20What's the matter?
01:19:22I'm desperate.
01:19:24I can't find my wife Flaminia.
01:19:26I'm in the same fix.
01:19:28My Sylvia went to your house to get Flaminia.
01:19:30She wouldn't give me a reason.
01:19:32She just packed her bag and left.
01:19:34Listen to me.
01:19:37A child has been born.
01:19:39The child of Lavinia and Lino.
01:19:42The first son of Rome.
01:19:44To the castle.
01:19:47A baby.
01:19:50A baby.
01:20:00Citizens of Rome, look well.
01:20:01This is Rome.
01:20:05We must take him to the trampoline.
01:20:08To the trampoline.
01:20:12I'll carry him.
01:20:22You're right.
01:20:24I could have one just like that.
01:20:26What do you mean?
01:20:28Why, you're too small to have a baby like that.
01:20:30Shh.
01:20:32You see?
01:20:34I kept my word.
01:20:41You'll have to come with us.
01:20:43Why? Are you afraid I'll betray you?
01:20:45We must be careful.
01:20:47They trusted you in Rome.
01:21:00Stop!
01:21:05It's the Sabines.
01:21:07We've been betrayed.
01:21:29We've been betrayed.
01:21:59Help!
01:22:29Help!
01:23:00Help!
01:23:02Help!

01:23:51Help!
01:23:56It's you.
01:23:58I just wanted to be sure.
01:24:00Help!
01:24:02Help!
01:24:05Help!
01:24:07Help!
01:24:09Help!

01:24:43Help!
01:24:45Help!
01:24:47Help!
01:24:49Help!
01:25:00It's terrible. They'll massacre all of them.
01:25:06Ouch!
01:25:08Claudius!
01:25:11No!
01:25:13No! No, don't do it!
01:25:15He said nothing to you?
01:25:17I love him.
01:25:19He's alone, so he must die.
01:25:21Before you kill him, you must first destroy me.
01:25:25Go and strike!
01:25:31Did you see? Aurelia saved her husband.
01:25:33I'm going to try to save mine.
01:26:04No!
01:26:06No!
01:26:08No!
01:26:10Don't kill him!
01:26:12Please don't kill him!
01:26:14No!
01:26:16No, I beg you!
01:26:33No!
01:27:04First and last trial of Rome.
01:27:07We were celebrating his birth.
01:27:34All of you, stop the fighting!
01:27:46I said stop your fighting!
01:27:48Sabines and Romans, obey!
01:27:50A baby has uttered its first cries in Rome.
01:27:53Whatever any of us might wish, he is one of our race, one of our people.
01:27:57He is one of our sons.
01:27:59And I don't wage war on my sons.
01:28:00Throw down your arms!
01:28:02All of you!
01:28:07Your sword, Romulus.
01:28:31Now the rest of you.
01:28:33Your swords.
01:28:43You too, Albus Cotelius.
01:28:45What about the others?
01:28:50I lost two of my dearest friends fighting against the Romans.
01:28:54But tonight I think it's time to stop this warfare.
01:29:01You must follow the example of your own men, Albus Cotelius.
01:29:05And don't say that it offends your code or stains your honor.
01:29:08It's not that difficult.
01:29:30Romulus.
01:29:49I've been looking for you.
01:29:51The Romans and the Sabines demand that you come out and talk to them.
01:29:54No, Numer, I'm leaving.
01:29:56They won't see me anymore.
01:29:58Romulus.
01:30:00Abandoning Rome?
01:30:02It needs you.
01:30:04You gave it birth.
01:30:06The children grow too fast.
01:30:08And fathers live too long.
01:30:10The Romans don't need me anymore.
01:30:12I put swords in their hands and a fatherland in their hearts.
01:30:15Now I'm no longer the king for my people.
01:30:18They need someone else, someone with patience, wisdom.
01:30:22Someone who will make them understand the meaning of Rome.
01:30:27No one could ever do what you have done, Romulus.
01:30:28Yes, Numer.
01:30:30You.
01:30:32From tomorrow, you will rule Rome.
01:30:34This I decided a long time ago.
01:30:36I couldn't do it.
01:30:38Stay with us.
01:30:40Please, Romulus.
01:30:42Get up, Numer.
01:30:44It's the last order I shall give you, king's kneel to no one.
01:30:49Goodbye, old friend.
01:30:51Romulus.
01:30:53You will become a legend.
01:30:55A legend?
01:30:57Perhaps.
01:31:19Nothing anymore.
01:31:21Not a king.
01:31:24Not the son of Mars.
01:31:27Just a man who wants to live and die near you and your letter.
01:31:32Well.
01:31:57Romulus.
01:31:59Romulus.
01:32:04What is it, Numer?
01:32:06I've already said goodbye.
01:32:08What shall I tell the Romans?
01:32:10They'll want to know what's happened to you.
01:32:12They'll want an explanation.
01:32:14I'll tell them.
01:32:16I'll tell them.
01:32:18I'll tell them.
01:32:20I'll tell them.
01:32:22I'll tell them.
01:32:24I'll tell them.
01:32:26What shall I tell them?
01:32:28Explain nothing.
01:32:30You forget that I'm a half-god, Numer.
01:32:33And gods don't have to give explanations.
01:32:38You can tell them that...
01:32:42I've gone up to heaven.
01:32:45It's half true anyway.
01:32:56Half true.
