Queen of the dead and wife of Pluto, Lord of the Underworld.
8
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:48,000
It's me, Scribonia, daughter of Lucius Scribonius Libo.
9
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,560
Today I ask you to make burning pains in the womb of Livia Drusilla.
10
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,840
Let the baby of Gaius Julius
11
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,120
in the womb of Livia Drusilla die in writhing agony.
12
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,120
(BOTH MOAN SOFTLY)
13
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,560
Let the baby of Livia Drusilla and Gaius Julius
14
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,560
slither out onto the floor,
15
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,040
stinking and dead like those before it.
16
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,840
Then let blood pour from the vagina of Livia Drusilla
17
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,440
until she dies in grief and despair.
18
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,720

(BOTH SIGH)
22
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,560
Do this for me, generous Proserpina,
23
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,800
before the Ides of January and in return,
24
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,960
I will give you red wine, dates and a litter of pink piglets.
25
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,880
The Saturnalia is an ancient, religious festival...
26
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,120
..not an excuse to get blind drunk.
27
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,200
A day of freedom is a privilege, so this year...
28
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,680
anyone coming back after dark or soiling the floor
29
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,800
will be dealing with me.
30
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,640
The Ladies Octavia and Scribonia are invited today,
31
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,640
so those responsible will make sure
32
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,800
the dinner is left out ready in the kitchen and the table is set.
33
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,640

Senators.
40
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,240
Corvinus and Crassus.
41
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,600
Murena too. The rest I don't know.
42
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,640
We knew someone would come, sooner or later.
43
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:39,640
(DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)
44
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:43,040
I didn't think Crassus would be one of them.

00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,880
Your enemies are coming out in the open.(SIGHS)
46
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,600
It's better that way.
47
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,640
They haven't come to kill you.
48
00:02:54,640 --> 00:02:56,920
Not here, not now.
49
00:02:56,920 --> 00:02:59,440
Those two are smarter than that.
50
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,160
That's what Caesar thought.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
52
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,760
Crassus! Murena!

Corvinus! (LAUGHS)
54
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,200
Welcome.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
56
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,120
Welcome. How's Livia?
57
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,720
Will she be joining us?You're referring to the malicious rumour
58
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,320
that my wife has opinions on politics.
59
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,000
And that I actually listen to them. (ALL LAUGH)
60
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,800
Forgive this intrusion on a public holiday,
61
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,800
but we wanted to talk unofficially
62
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,920
before the Senate reconvenes in the new year.
63
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,920
On behalf of the Senate as a whole,
64
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,440
we were hoping to get some sense of your views on the future.
65
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:00,360
The future?How you see things evolving...or not?
66
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,360
Huh.
67
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:09,080
We've all lived through turbulent times. Since the killing of Caesar
68
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,080
an entire generation has known nothing but civil war.
69
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,960
But now the wars are over and have been for a while.
70
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,000
Yes, how time flies.
71
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Hmm. Amazing to think it's been 15 years
72
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,760
since you, Marcus Antonius and Lepidus
73
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:31,280
were granted complete and absolute powers over everything.
74
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:34,720
By the Senate itself. For a certain fixed term,
75
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,360
which lapsed some time ago.
76
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,080
Special measures were necessary.
77
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,840
And now Marcus Antonius is dead, and Lepidus may as well be.
78
00:04:42,840 --> 00:04:46,120
So, suddenly...there's just you.
79
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:51,040
All of which, the Senate has been wondering, leaves us where?
80
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,800
Legally? Constitutionally?
81
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,200
Practically? Now that the peace has been restored
82
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,680
and your work is, well...
83
00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:04,840
..done.

(SIGHS SOFTLY)
85
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,000
You were right...
86
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,560
the Senate just told me to step down or else.
87
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,000
Caesar chose "or else" and look what happened to him.
88
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,000
I'm not fucking stepping anywhere!
89
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,120
All right...
90
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,120
but we can't make the same mistake.
91
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,600
Father...
92
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,560
this is the cheese you like
93
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,440
from our old farm in Caperna, which did very well last year.
94
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,640
Gaius won't give back power.
95
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,360
Like Caesar he's defying the Senate.
96
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,200
Anything could happen.
97
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,200
Gaius has been a good husband and a father to Tiberius and Drusus.
98
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,200
You know I've come to love him.
99
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:02,160
I don't want him to die like Caesar!
100
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,640
Maybe there's still a way to restore the Republic.

Come on, Romulus! Come on!Tiberius. (LAUGHS) You'll lose again.

Come on! Not that one! Oh, yes!

Let's keep going Remus! All the way! All the way!
108
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,320
Romulus is catching up. That's cheating!

Agrippa.
113
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,960
I was just saying, we should tell Crassus to fuck off.
114
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,680
I know, I heard you from the garden. Oh.And I was just saying
115
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,800
they are forcing him to choose. (SIGHS)
116
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,960
Either step down and formally hand everything back to the Senate,
117
00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:02,920
which is effectively restoring the Republic.
118
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,600
Or...
119
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,560
tell the Senate to go formally fuck themselves.Hmm.
120
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,000
Which would be admitting... you're now a dictator.
121
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,960
Why can't we just ignore them?
122
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,040
Because they're right.
123
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:20,160
My position is illegal... and unconstitutional.
124
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,640
So...fine.
125
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,440
You'd make a great dictator. That was never the idea.
126
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,880
Was it?Well, the minute we step down, we'll be vulnerable.
127
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,960
We've made a lot of enemies. You'll make a lot more if you don't.
128
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,320
Caesar was stabbed 23 times outside the Senate.
129

(SIGHS) It's alright, Agrippa...
133
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,000
he was a mad-dog Republican.

(LAUGHS SOFTLY) What I'm saying is,
135
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,960
people are sick of war!
136
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,360
They'll take a dictator in return for peace.For a while.
137
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,800
Until suddenly they won't. OK, you're right, let's kill them.

Corvinus and Crassus and the rest of 'em.That's not what I was saying.
139
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,640
It worked before.That's sounds just like "go fuck yourselves" to me.
140
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,960
So, what, you just want to give it all away
141
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,160
to an ambitious little fuck like Corvinus?
142
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:21,000
He doesn't care about the Republic, he just wants to be you.
143
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,640
And Crassus. He fought against us with Sextus and then with Antonius.

We've been at war all our lives.
145
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,080
We earned this the hard way.
146
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,400
Why should we hand it back? It's yours, Gaius.
147
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,840
Take it! Take it now.
148
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,840
You're better than that, Gaius.
149
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,840
It's time to show it.
150
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,640
Well, they're both right, you have to choose.
151
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,520
One or the other.
152
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,520
And fast!

Father. He says everyone knows that you invited him to dinner,
183
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,000
so you could poison him. Marcellus said that?

And Antigone, what's got into her? Of all people!
557
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:41,280
Livia's just ambitious for her sons. And what Roman mother isn't?
558
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,960
I know for a fact she wants Julia to marry Tiberius when the time comes.
559
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,440
I should talk to her. Not Marcellus or anyone else.

Either they owe you or they don't care about the Republic,
569
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,920

574
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:37,680
Just under a hundred.
575
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,680
These men probably will oppose you,
576
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,440
because they want the Republic back in some form or another.
577
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,440
Maybe 20.
578
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,400

And we got Tiberius another one, just the same.
