You took longer than I expected.
Let's go.
H-Hey!
Hurry. The Carabinieri will discover these passages soon.
You, take the tunnels on the opposite side to confuse them.
They're all...
So you'll return to die with them?
Fine with me.
I will not stop you.
Juliet, you must not!
They did everything they could to protect you.
Escape quickly!
Go!
Take care of Juliet!
Antonio...
Make haste. It'll be inconvenient if the sun rises.
What's that...?
The jewel of Neo Verona's night.
A place where the nobles and the rich come to seek out the pleasures that the night has to offer.
Those clothes will stand out.
Cover them.
Come with me.
Neo Verona...
...such a place as this existed here?
The madam, please.
As you wish, sir.
Welcome.
Give me your best room...
...and your best wine.
How wonderful. Nothing less from a real gentleman!
In this district, you can obtain all sorts of information...
...making no distinction between nobles and commoners.
With a little gold, it will fall into your hands.
This place hates people who try to pry into one's past.
If the Carabinieri comes to this place, we won't be discovered straightaway.
Excuse the wait.
It's been a while.
You haven't visited at all lately.
It isn't much of a room...
...but you can stay as many days as you wish. I don't mind.
Thank you for your hospitality.
Not at all!
As long as your money is good, you need not restrain your fancies.
Use this to fetch us food and a change of clothes.
Leave it to me.
A man with connections to the Capulet House, named Camio.
Unfortunately he has vanished without a trace...
...and we were unable to take him into custody.
However, the former Guard he passed information to...
...named Oberon, has already been suitably dealt with-
What of the Capulet girl?
Sir! I'm afraid...
Still at large?
I-I give my deepest apologies...
That girl has concealed herself somewhere in this city!
If you can spare time to make such worthless reports...
...use it to bring her here, even if you have to crawl to do so!
Sir! Without fail.
What is it, Romeo?
It's nearly time, sir.
The Capulets once monopolized the wealth of Neo Verona...
...supping continuously at her sweet fruits, devouring them ravenously.
I, Montague, overthrew them and brought peace and prosperity...
...but now, blades have been drawn against me!
The remnants of the Capulet House have incited a rebellion!
Their candidate is Capulet's daughter, Juliet!
What?!
She's still alive?
These loathsome specters of the past must be eradicated.
To achieve that, I wish to make the "girl hunts" more rigorous!
We will conscript the townspeople to aid our search...
...and send the hand of pursuit into every corner of the city!
We will construct a net from which there is no escape!
I wish to request funds for this purpose from all who have gathered here.
No one... objects, do they?
Chairman!
Please allow me to take the floor.
Romeo.
P-Permission granted.
Thank you.
I've been told that the former Grand Duke Capulet was a tyrant.
However, it is Duke Capulet alone who should atone for his sins.
I do not think they should be inherited by his vassals, much less by his daughter.
And with Duke Capulet's death, those sins have already been redeemed.
I believe further pursuit will merely stir up further protest...
...and will invite the degradation of the current peace and order!
We should be tolerant and willing to meet with them.
Romeo Candorebanto Montague hereby proposes...
...that the sins of Duke Capulet's vassals and daughter be pardoned!
Why do you hesitate?
A formal motion has been made.
You should call for a vote.
Very well. Those who agree to the current motion, all rise...
It appears there is a consensus.
Romeo Candorebanto Montague's motion is hereby unanimously declined.
This session has concluded for the day.
You are too kind.
Mercutio.
Well, cheer up.
Appealing to hearts as old as those will never stir up emotions within them.
Learn to be wise, Romeo.
At any rate, it seems that a few of your friends have been captured.
Why did you only save me?
That limp-wristed blond fop asked me to.
Francisco?
It's my fault.
Francisco was against moving so soon, but I couldn't wait...
That's how it turned out.
It was all the result of your inexperience.
Did you not realize that overthrowing the Montagues meant making sacrifices?
It's unfortunate for the people who instilled their hopes in you.
Sit quietly and wait for the furor to die down.
I'll destroy the Montagues using my own methods.
Wait! I'll come-
No.
As you are now, there is nothing you can do.
My, my...
How much, my dear?
Wait, won't you?
As you are now, there is nothing you can do.
Francisco...
Curio...
Conrad...
Everyone...
I'm sorry!
It's all...
...my fault.
That's quite a stain.
Look what you've done!
Now, now dear, I'll buy you a new dress.
Wipe that frown from your face.
Hey!
Be safe...
...Juliet!
Forgive...
...me...
What's wrong?
Lady Portia...
We will carry her to the convent.
Please go fetch someone.
Yes, ma'am.
Someone is coming.
Hold on.
I should have died.
Fourteen years ago...
Perhaps this, too, is fate.
Are you awake?
Where...?
A convent.
You are Juliet, aren't you?
Do not push yourself. You are safe here.
I am Portia Clemenza de Ebe.
Romeo's mother.
He told me of you.
Romeo!
For you and Romeo to be in love...
How cruel fate can be!
Driving you so mercilessly...
We may have separated...
...but Montague was once my husband...
...and the things that man did can never be forgiven.
But let me say this...
Only this...
I am so...
...so very sorry...
Romeo...
Where are you going at this hour?
To my mother.
You as well, Romeo?
What could it be, Mother?
Sending me a messenger in the middle of the night...
Juliet!
Wait.
Don't wake her.
Why is she here?
Quietly.
But!
If you don't maintain your composure, then who will?
Calm yourself, Romeo. I will tell you everything.
Everything?
Yes.
What?
Are you saying that Duke Capulet was a wise ruler, known for his honesty and integrity?
Yes.
Then why is Father...?
Romeo.
I do not know.
But to become Grand Duke, he killed Duke Capulet...
He killed all his family and followers down to the very last servant.
On that night, what he said to me...
Laertes!
Rejoice!
From this day forth, you are...
...the Grand Duke's wife!
I could not bear it.
I could not bear to be the Grand Duke's wife through the murder of innocents!
Romeo...
...you are the son of that man.
You cannot change that.
But you will meet Duke Capulet's daughter Juliet in spite of that, won't you?
Yes.
Juliet.
I...
You are not to blame, Romeo.
I'm sorry, Juliet.
I'm sorry.
Juliet!
The rain has eased.
It's a beautiful morning.
How do you feel?
I'm all right now.
Good.
What nice weather.
O Romeo...
...wherefore art thou Romeo?
I am the daughter of the Capulets...
You are the son of the Montagues...
Why did we meet?
Why did we...
...fall in love?
Do you regret it?
No.
But even though we're standing so close to each other...
...between us, lies a wall more high and hard to climb than any mountain...
I will surmount any wall!
Juliet, if I have you...
...I will fly through raging tempests...
...through dark forests where the sun's light does not reach...
...through blazing flames...
...and overcome them!
For you...
I will renounce the name Montague!
I am Romeo!
I need no other name.
Romeo...
Juliet...
...you as well.
The young leaves whisper, and the timbre of their music...
...is the melody of a hymn, fragile but full of life.
The white flowers become a radiant robe for them...
...and adorn a timeless, perfect hour.
Next time, Romeo and Juliet, Act Eleven:
"Vows" ~Bright Morning's Blessing~
Is this truly a love that shall never bear fruit?
