1
00:00:35,959 --> 00:00:39,743
Daedalus, the master
who designed this Labyrinth...
2
00:00:39,744 --> 00:00:42,985
whose mind produced these dizzy passages.
3
00:00:42,986 --> 00:00:45,147
Daedalus, the genius...
4
00:00:45,148 --> 00:00:47,850
who invented ships
which could sail under the sea...
5
00:00:47,851 --> 00:00:52,548
fireworks which would knock down a wall,
lenses that set together...
6
00:00:52,549 --> 00:00:57,789
could see as far as the stars,
fantastic machines.
7
00:00:58,246 --> 00:01:00,199
He fell so far.
8
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,733
He fell so far from grace,
he finished a broken man.
9
00:01:03,734 --> 00:01:08,517
Making the same little clay figure,
over and over.
10
00:01:08,849 --> 00:01:10,844
A child with wings.
11
00:01:10,845 --> 00:01:13,422
A child with wings? Who was that?
12
00:01:13,423 --> 00:01:16,789
The one thing Daedalus made
he had no control of.
13
00:01:16,790 --> 00:01:19,370
The one thing he ever truly loved.
14
00:01:19,493 --> 00:01:21,157
Icarus.
15
00:01:21,322 --> 00:01:22,862
His son.
16
00:01:26,087 --> 00:01:29,587
Sync and corrections by R3V0LV3R.
17
00:01:42,485 --> 00:01:44,148
Sorry.
18
00:01:44,188 --> 00:01:48,261
Daedalus, the greatest craftsman in Greece.
There was no one like him.
19
00:01:48,262 --> 00:01:49,966
He was born in Athens.
20
00:01:49,967 --> 00:01:51,589
Like us.
21
00:01:52,128 --> 00:01:55,619
And he learnt the art of making from
the goddess Athena herself.
22
00:01:55,620 --> 00:01:58,279
But his greatest dream was to fly...
23
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,064
to soar through the clouds like a bird.
24
00:02:01,065 --> 00:02:04,389
Is that why his son had wings?
Did they both grow wings?
25
00:02:04,390 --> 00:02:05,636
No, no, they didn't.
26
00:02:05,637 --> 00:02:08,504
Poor lcarus had nothing
so graceful as wings.
27
00:02:08,505 --> 00:02:11,455
Even his hands were awkward and clumsy.
28
00:02:11,456 --> 00:02:13,120
Look.
29
00:02:14,699 --> 00:02:16,443
Son, look.
30
00:02:16,444 --> 00:02:18,025
Wonderful.
31
00:02:19,686 --> 00:02:21,349
Gently.
32
00:02:21,350 --> 00:02:24,175
You must handle things gently.
33
00:02:24,176 --> 00:02:27,792
- I'm no good. You think I'm no good.
- I don't think that at all.
34
00:02:27,793 --> 00:02:30,327
You do, you think I'm clumsy.
I know you do.
35
00:02:30,328 --> 00:02:31,532
I do not.
36
00:02:31,533 --> 00:02:35,398
I think your brains
must have run from your head.
37
00:02:35,399 --> 00:02:37,849
Shake them back again. That's better.
38
00:02:37,850 --> 00:02:39,390
Stop it!
39
00:02:43,962 --> 00:02:45,914
He's clumsy, this lcarus.
40
00:02:45,915 --> 00:02:47,703
He was clumsy.
41
00:02:48,077 --> 00:02:50,155
But you know, he's only a boy.
42
00:02:50,156 --> 00:02:52,481
Did he get better, more careful?
43
00:02:52,482 --> 00:02:54,393
Perhaps he would've done, I don't know.
44
00:02:54,394 --> 00:02:55,849
Something happened.
45
00:02:55,850 --> 00:02:58,259
Something happened
which changed everything.
46
00:02:58,260 --> 00:03:00,338
Another boy came into their lives.
47
00:03:00,339 --> 00:03:03,414
A golden boy, kissed by the gods.
48
00:03:03,415 --> 00:03:05,451
A nephew to Daedalus.
49
00:03:05,452 --> 00:03:07,323
An apprentice.
50
00:03:11,728 --> 00:03:13,223
What happened?
51
00:03:13,224 --> 00:03:16,839
- It's broken. I broke it.
- It doesn't matter.
52
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,046
No, look.
53
00:03:18,047 --> 00:03:21,995
If we lift the wing here, and pull this...
54
00:03:22,369 --> 00:03:24,157
look, you can.
55
00:03:24,531 --> 00:03:26,902
It will be all right, I think.
56
00:03:35,753 --> 00:03:37,293
There.
57
00:03:40,867 --> 00:03:42,985
The gods play with us.
58
00:03:42,986 --> 00:03:47,391
Into Talos, his sister's boy,
went all the joy of creation.
59
00:03:47,392 --> 00:03:49,429
The keen eye, and the quick wit...
60
00:03:49,430 --> 00:03:52,753
as if the two children
had been born to the wrong parent...
61
00:03:52,754 --> 00:03:56,705
for Talos was the kind of son
Daedalus had dreamed of.
62
00:03:58,116 --> 00:03:59,820
Uncle, what's this?
63
00:03:59,821 --> 00:04:02,064
A jawbone of a snake. Why?
64
00:04:02,065 --> 00:04:04,433
What would happen
if you cast this in metal?
65
00:04:04,434 --> 00:04:05,974
What?
66
00:04:06,139 --> 00:04:10,086
Daedalus watched the boy work,
his brilliance, his curiosity...
67
00:04:10,087 --> 00:04:12,539
the ideas pouring from him.
68
00:04:12,540 --> 00:04:14,326
Daedalus watched all this...
69
00:04:14,327 --> 00:04:17,488
and it was like a knife
twisting in his heart.
70
00:04:18,235 --> 00:04:20,147
Look, Uncle, look.
71
00:04:24,511 --> 00:04:27,046
He's clever, isn't he? He really is.
72
00:04:27,047 --> 00:04:29,249
And every day, Icarus seemed slower...
73
00:04:29,250 --> 00:04:33,364
more clumsy, more dull
against the bright star of his cousin.
74
00:04:33,365 --> 00:04:37,105
Sometimes, in the evenings,
Daedalus would climb up onto the roof...
75
00:04:37,106 --> 00:04:39,557
the boys clambering after him.
76
00:04:39,558 --> 00:04:44,171
And then they would look out over Athens
and watch the birds.
77
00:04:44,172 --> 00:04:49,450
And they looked hardest at the vultures,
watched them glide, circle...
78
00:04:49,451 --> 00:04:51,905
or just hang in the air.
79
00:04:52,777 --> 00:04:57,140
I think what happens is,
the wind goes over both sides of the wings.
80
00:04:57,141 --> 00:05:01,423
And the back of the wings go up,
and the air pushes the bird up.
81
00:05:01,588 --> 00:05:04,830
- Can we go now? I'm hungry.
- No, stay a little longer.
82
00:05:04,831 --> 00:05:08,737
Every time we look at a bird, or anything
in nature, we're learning something.
83
00:05:08,738 --> 00:05:10,524
Yes, but, I'm a bit bored.
84
00:05:10,525 --> 00:05:12,603
Go on then, go down and have your supper.
85
00:05:12,604 --> 00:05:15,555
- You, too, Nephew.
- No, I'd rather stay.
86
00:05:15,556 --> 00:05:16,759
I'll stay if you want.
87
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,550
No, don't worry.
88
00:05:18,756 --> 00:05:20,792
I'll stay, I'll stay if you really want.
89
00:05:20,793 --> 00:05:22,580
Just go!
90
00:05:22,829 --> 00:05:24,785
Look, it's landed.
91
00:05:25,864 --> 00:05:29,605
When I look down from the sky,
things are small.
92
00:05:29,646 --> 00:05:33,054
I see fields of corn like raffia mats.
93
00:05:33,055 --> 00:05:36,546
People shrink to the size of dolls.
94
00:05:36,547 --> 00:05:40,869
- I see you hate your nephew.
- No.
95
00:05:40,870 --> 00:05:41,991
Nothing.
96
00:05:41,992 --> 00:05:45,898
Of course, he's everything you hoped for
in your son and didn't get.
97
00:05:45,899 --> 00:05:47,853
You hate him.
98
00:05:48,517 --> 00:05:52,343
- I'd love to fly, wouldn't you?
- Yes.
99
00:05:52,425 --> 00:05:53,920
I dream about it.
100
00:05:53,921 --> 00:05:58,202
Do you think it would be possible
for us to fly?
101
00:05:58,203 --> 00:06:00,363
I think if you could make
wings like a bird's.
102
00:06:00,364 --> 00:06:03,566
Yes. I'd like to try.
103
00:06:05,352 --> 00:06:06,847
Is that like flying?
104
00:06:06,848 --> 00:06:08,219
Uncle, no, please.
105
00:06:08,220 --> 00:06:10,339
Don't worry, I won't let you fall.
106
00:06:10,340 --> 00:06:15,703
In fact, is there something my very,
very clever nephew is frightened of?
107
00:06:17,822 --> 00:06:19,319
Hold on.
108
00:06:20,482 --> 00:06:23,018
Please, please, help me!
109
00:06:25,844 --> 00:06:27,424
Talos fell...
110
00:06:27,425 --> 00:06:30,790
twisting and turning like a starfish.
111
00:06:30,791 --> 00:06:35,777
He fell so slowly through the air, it
seemed to Daedalus he was falling forever.
112
00:06:35,778 --> 00:06:39,394
That he was never going to land,
that he was flying.
113
00:06:39,395 --> 00:06:41,473
Then the ground reminded him.
114
00:06:41,474 --> 00:06:45,090
It came to meet Talos
and jolted him asleep.
115
00:06:48,415 --> 00:06:50,576
What have I done?
116
00:06:54,234 --> 00:06:56,230
He killed him.
117
00:06:56,729 --> 00:06:58,474
He killed that little boy.
118
00:06:58,475 --> 00:06:59,595
He didn't mean to.
119
00:06:59,596 --> 00:07:00,717
He did.
120
00:07:00,718 --> 00:07:02,505
He didn't know what he was doing.
121
00:07:02,506 --> 00:07:04,833
It was pain, it was pain.
122
00:07:04,834 --> 00:07:06,911
It was his heart breaking.
123
00:07:06,912 --> 00:07:09,365
He looked down on the boy's body...
124
00:07:09,366 --> 00:07:11,941
if he could've thrown
himself off in his place...
125
00:07:11,942 --> 00:07:14,601
if he could've wound back
those few seconds of madness...
126
00:07:14,602 --> 00:07:16,346
but he couldn't.
127
00:07:16,347 --> 00:07:18,262
He couldn't.
128
00:07:24,038 --> 00:07:27,404
Son, wake up.
Wake up, we have to leave. Quickly.
129
00:07:27,405 --> 00:07:29,234
What's happening?
130
00:07:29,815 --> 00:07:34,762
- I can't explain. I'll explain later.
- Where is Talos? Is he coming?
131
00:07:35,177 --> 00:07:36,257
No.
132
00:07:36,258 --> 00:07:38,295
Are you crying?
133
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,040
Hurry.
134
00:07:40,041 --> 00:07:42,825
And he picked him up and ran
like a murderer from the city.
135
00:07:42,826 --> 00:07:45,360
Father and son traveled through Greece.
136
00:07:45,361 --> 00:07:50,307
Daedalus sold drawings, toys, hired
himself out to petty kings and tyrants.
137
00:07:50,308 --> 00:07:55,253
Squandered his genius on trifles.
And dreaded the nights, dreaded sleep.
138
00:07:55,254 --> 00:07:58,745
His dreams full of falling, falling.
139
00:07:58,746 --> 00:08:01,779
They never settled, always moving on...
140
00:08:01,780 --> 00:08:03,981
always looking over their shoulder...
141
00:08:03,982 --> 00:08:08,058
until one day, they set sail
for the island of Crete.
142
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,464
And there, in exile...
143
00:08:11,465 --> 00:08:15,080
the once great craftsman
made children's toys...
144
00:08:15,081 --> 00:08:18,450
and sold them
in the marketplace of Knossos.
145
00:08:20,319 --> 00:08:21,607
Off they went...
146
00:08:21,608 --> 00:08:24,558
the little soldiers
marching through the crowds...
147
00:08:24,559 --> 00:08:27,052
and into the hands of a real soldier...
148
00:08:27,053 --> 00:08:31,127
who carried them
like precious jewels to his master...
149
00:08:31,168 --> 00:08:33,536
Minos, King of Crete.
150
00:08:33,537 --> 00:08:35,074
Daedalus?
151
00:08:35,075 --> 00:08:38,110
All of Greece knows that name. Welcome.
152
00:08:38,608 --> 00:08:41,891
What brings the great inventor to Crete,
and in rags?
153
00:08:41,892 --> 00:08:44,012
Difficult times, Lord.
154
00:08:44,013 --> 00:08:46,506
Certain disputes. Travel.
155
00:08:46,507 --> 00:08:47,710
This is my son.
156
00:08:47,711 --> 00:08:50,536
I wanted him to see
more than the olive groves of Athens.
157
00:08:50,537 --> 00:08:53,823
Yes, yes, but difficult times?
158
00:08:54,944 --> 00:08:56,647
That's right.
159
00:08:56,648 --> 00:09:00,388
I remember something about
a talented boy who fell. Is this right?
160
00:09:00,389 --> 00:09:02,342
He fell from the roof? Tragic.
161
00:09:02,343 --> 00:09:04,960
I make no secret of my
dislike for your city.
162
00:09:04,961 --> 00:09:08,701
Accidents at Athens... it was an accident?
163
00:09:08,702 --> 00:09:12,733
Are not my... But I love this. Clever.
164
00:09:12,734 --> 00:09:16,144
If I wanted something made,
something very, very clever...
165
00:09:16,267 --> 00:09:18,553
might I interrupt your travels
and bring you here?
166
00:09:18,554 --> 00:09:20,632
Suitably rewarded, of course.
167
00:09:20,633 --> 00:09:22,709
Say no if...
168
00:09:22,710 --> 00:09:26,078
I would not say no.
169
00:09:26,368 --> 00:09:30,026
Really? That's... I do love these.
170
00:09:30,027 --> 00:09:32,895
I'd like... Could they fight each other?
171
00:09:33,144 --> 00:09:34,556
Two armies.
172
00:09:34,557 --> 00:09:37,344
Cretans and Athenians. Wonderful.
173
00:09:37,591 --> 00:09:41,623
No. My problem is that I have...
174
00:09:43,785 --> 00:09:45,571
a creature.
175
00:09:45,572 --> 00:09:47,858
And I want to build it a cage.
176
00:09:48,648 --> 00:09:51,808
A cage would not tax me, Lord.
177
00:09:52,389 --> 00:09:55,050
It's a very special creature.
178
00:09:55,340 --> 00:09:58,583
It requires a very special cage.
179
00:09:59,788 --> 00:10:02,117
It's a curse on my family.
180
00:10:02,198 --> 00:10:05,900
But I cannot kill it. That is not to be.
181
00:10:06,521 --> 00:10:10,593
And its hunger is for human flesh.
182
00:10:10,594 --> 00:10:13,379
There must be no way out of its cage.
183
00:10:13,380 --> 00:10:17,123
Use that clever brain to design something.
184
00:10:17,413 --> 00:10:20,404
And people say Daedalus
did use his brain...
185
00:10:20,405 --> 00:10:23,521
for the maze he built
to imprison the monster, the Minotaur...
186
00:10:23,522 --> 00:10:26,390
was designed like the brain itself.
187
00:10:26,391 --> 00:10:29,923
And 1,000 years later,
it still stands here.
188
00:10:29,924 --> 00:10:31,460
So was Minos pleased?
189
00:10:31,461 --> 00:10:34,702
Minos was cruel. Minos had two secrets.
190
00:10:34,703 --> 00:10:37,903
Who the Minotaur was,
and how to get out of the Labyrinth.
191
00:10:37,904 --> 00:10:39,899
Now Daedalus knew both of them.
192
00:10:39,900 --> 00:10:42,351
When the monster was taken
into its new prison...
193
00:10:42,352 --> 00:10:45,011
Daedalus and lcarus were locked in with it.
194
00:10:45,012 --> 00:10:48,336
Down there somewhere.
In the heart of the Labyrinth.
195
00:10:48,337 --> 00:10:50,954
Father, hurry, please. Hurry!
196
00:10:50,955 --> 00:10:53,159
Three to the left.
197
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,486
Thirty, thirty-one...
198
00:10:55,487 --> 00:10:58,190
two, three...
199
00:10:58,813 --> 00:11:00,349
thirty-five.
200
00:11:00,350 --> 00:11:02,846
Father, please, it's catching us!
201
00:11:04,091 --> 00:11:07,956
The Labyrinth is full of signs,
tricks, and illusions.
202
00:11:07,957 --> 00:11:09,992
It can be read like a book.
203
00:11:09,993 --> 00:11:14,108
Do you know the only person
able to read that book?
204
00:11:14,109 --> 00:11:15,732
Me.
205
00:11:17,018 --> 00:11:18,764
And with the monster almost upon them...
206
00:11:18,765 --> 00:11:21,507
Daedalus struck the wall
with the palm of his hand.
207
00:11:21,508 --> 00:11:23,502
A door opened and they ran...
208
00:11:23,503 --> 00:11:25,748
ran for their lives.
209
00:11:28,509 --> 00:11:31,262
Daedalus and lcarus,
they had escaped from the Labyrinth...
210
00:11:31,263 --> 00:11:33,348
and the murderous charge of the Minotaur.
211
00:11:33,349 --> 00:11:34,432
But now what?
212
00:11:34,433 --> 00:11:36,560
The ports of Crete were heavily guarded.
213
00:11:36,561 --> 00:11:39,272
If they were seen,
they would certainly be killed.
214
00:11:39,273 --> 00:11:42,278
They were marooned on this cruel island.
215
00:11:48,911 --> 00:11:50,456
Look.
216
00:11:52,499 --> 00:11:55,126
I can leave whenever I like.
217
00:11:55,127 --> 00:11:57,879
I stretch my wings.
218
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,217
Don't you think they're well-designed?
219
00:12:00,218 --> 00:12:02,639
Could we fly like Talos said?
220
00:12:02,888 --> 00:12:04,640
Talos is dead.
221
00:12:04,973 --> 00:12:07,227
How did he fall, Father?
222
00:12:07,518 --> 00:12:09,481
You killed him.
223
00:12:09,731 --> 00:12:11,063
No, no!
224
00:12:11,064 --> 00:12:12,190
Father.
225
00:12:12,191 --> 00:12:14,861
It was a game. We were playing at flying...
226
00:12:14,862 --> 00:12:16,949
You killed him.
227
00:12:17,322 --> 00:12:18,491
And in his rage...
228
00:12:18,492 --> 00:12:20,159
Daedalus flung his blanket over the bird.
229
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:21,369
Father!
230
00:12:21,370 --> 00:12:22,746
They struggled and fought...
231
00:12:22,747 --> 00:12:26,042
until there was a terrible crack
and the great bird's neck...
232
00:12:26,043 --> 00:12:27,587
snapped.
233
00:12:28,881 --> 00:12:30,756
Now your brothers will come for you.
234
00:12:30,757 --> 00:12:33,134
And we'll have feathers enough,
and wings enough.
235
00:12:33,135 --> 00:12:34,554
Father.
236
00:12:34,555 --> 00:12:37,182
Wings of our own. Do you hear me, Son?
237
00:12:37,183 --> 00:12:39,142
Wings of our own!
238
00:12:39,143 --> 00:12:41,606
We will fly!
239
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,491
Love him, Daedalus, love him to death.
240
00:12:51,035 --> 00:12:52,117
The next morning...
241
00:12:52,118 --> 00:12:54,663
Daedalus trapped more birds
and stole their feathers...
242
00:12:54,664 --> 00:12:57,583
found a swarm of bees and stole their hive.
243
00:12:57,584 --> 00:13:01,171
He stuck the feathers
to spines of wood with beeswax...
244
00:13:01,172 --> 00:13:04,175
molding each feather tip
perfectly together...
245
00:13:04,176 --> 00:13:06,637
carefully copying the wings.
246
00:13:06,638 --> 00:13:09,184
More feathers, Father.
247
00:13:09,892 --> 00:13:13,438
- Leave it. Leave them.
- I'm sorry, I was only trying to help.
248
00:13:13,439 --> 00:13:16,527
Yes, but, it's too important.
249
00:13:16,568 --> 00:13:22,076
- If it weren't so important...
- if I weren't so clumsy. If I was Talos...
250
00:13:25,913 --> 00:13:27,497
Now, my son...
251
00:13:27,498 --> 00:13:30,668
please, please, listen to me carefully.
252
00:13:30,669 --> 00:13:35,133
You always think I'm not listening,
but I am, I really am.
253
00:13:35,134 --> 00:13:37,054
Fly behind me...
254
00:13:37,220 --> 00:13:39,055
and keep close.
255
00:13:39,096 --> 00:13:41,850
Don't fly too high or too low.
256
00:13:41,851 --> 00:13:46,106
If you fly too low,
the sea spray will weigh down the feathers.
257
00:13:46,397 --> 00:13:48,067
If you fly too high...
258
00:13:48,068 --> 00:13:50,905
the sun will melt the wax.
259
00:13:52,949 --> 00:13:57,331
- What did I say? - If I fly too
high, the sun will melt the wax.
260
00:14:01,543 --> 00:14:03,630
You're squeezing me.
261
00:14:04,839 --> 00:14:07,300
We're not saying goodbye, are we?
262
00:14:07,301 --> 00:14:10,097
Daedalus clung to his son on the hill.
263
00:14:10,180 --> 00:14:11,514
Then he kissed Icarus...
264
00:14:11,515 --> 00:14:15,060
and it seemed as if some great bird was
feeding its chick, mouth to mouth...
265
00:14:15,061 --> 00:14:16,687
as birds do.
266
00:14:16,688 --> 00:14:20,316
Or that Daedalus was willing his knowledge
into his clumsy son.
267
00:14:20,317 --> 00:14:23,238
Then they turned and ran
to the cliff edge...
268
00:14:23,239 --> 00:14:25,575
and up, out, and away.
269
00:14:25,576 --> 00:14:29,121
Away from the lands controlled by Minos.
270
00:14:29,122 --> 00:14:30,832
Flying!
271
00:14:43,473 --> 00:14:45,641
I'm flying, I'm flying!
272
00:14:45,642 --> 00:14:47,311
Stay close.
273
00:14:47,312 --> 00:14:49,983
Not too low. Not too high.
274
00:14:50,274 --> 00:14:51,483
Stay close.
275
00:14:51,484 --> 00:14:53,819
But Icarus did not stay close.
276
00:14:53,820 --> 00:14:57,157
As the earth shrank beneath him,
he beat on...
277
00:14:57,158 --> 00:15:00,827
up, past clouds, past listening...
278
00:15:00,828 --> 00:15:03,167
past promises.
279
00:15:03,584 --> 00:15:05,375
Icarus flew on alone...
280
00:15:05,376 --> 00:15:08,212
higher, and higher, and higher.
281
00:15:08,213 --> 00:15:10,051
Towards the sun.
282
00:15:10,092 --> 00:15:12,719
And bead by golden bead...
283
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,513
the wax started to melt.
284
00:15:14,514 --> 00:15:16,811
Father, please, help!
285
00:15:21,356 --> 00:15:22,774
Icarus!
286
00:15:22,775 --> 00:15:25,029
Father, please, help!
287
00:15:26,196 --> 00:15:27,655
Too late.
288
00:15:27,656 --> 00:15:29,327
Icarus fell.
289
00:15:29,701 --> 00:15:34,831
Fell, down and down,
into the sea that bears his name.
290
00:15:34,832 --> 00:15:38,086
Icarus!
291
00:15:38,087 --> 00:15:39,839
He died?
292
00:15:39,963 --> 00:15:42,758
- He died.
- That's terrible.
293
00:15:42,759 --> 00:15:46,554
Why did he fly too high?
He promised he wouldn't fly too high.
294
00:15:46,555 --> 00:15:50,309
I think when Talos dropped
from the sad heights above Athens...
295
00:15:50,310 --> 00:15:52,104
lcarus was already falling.
296
00:15:52,105 --> 00:15:55,067
As if a single thread
held them all together.
297
00:15:55,068 --> 00:15:58,196
Talos fell, lcarus fell...
298
00:15:58,197 --> 00:16:00,158
Daedalus fell.
299
00:16:07,834 --> 00:16:10,464
I curse my skill.
300
00:16:11,130 --> 00:16:13,173
I curse Minos.
301
00:16:13,174 --> 00:16:15,260
Tyrant!
302
00:16:15,510 --> 00:16:19,224
I curse you, you killed my boy.
303
00:16:20,016 --> 00:16:22,895
I curse the very birds
of the air who tempt us.
304
00:16:22,896 --> 00:16:27,568
I curse the sea's cruel kisses. My son.
305
00:16:30,864 --> 00:16:33,701
My son.
306
00:16:40,293 --> 00:16:43,590
And Daedalus buried
his dead child in the sand.
307
00:16:43,964 --> 00:16:46,967
Buried hope and laughter and joy.
308
00:16:46,968 --> 00:16:51,598
Laid the clumsy fingers in the ground,
placed an obol in the foolish mouth...
309
00:16:51,599 --> 00:16:53,893
kissed the cold forehead.
310
00:16:53,894 --> 00:16:58,941
And then Daedalus flew,
his tears falling from the sky like rain...
311
00:16:58,942 --> 00:17:02,445
away from Crete,
away from danger, away from grief...
312
00:17:02,446 --> 00:17:05,866
northwest to Sicily, and to King Cocalus.
313
00:17:05,867 --> 00:17:08,912
Cocalus was pleased
to welcome such a craftsman.
314
00:17:08,913 --> 00:17:10,833
And Daedalus set to work again.
315
00:17:10,834 --> 00:17:16,341
But as well as building ships and machines,
this time he started to make models.
316
00:17:16,341 --> 00:17:18,970
Tiny figures of a winged boy.
317
00:17:19,010 --> 00:17:21,431
He blamed himself, didn't he?
318
00:17:21,639 --> 00:17:24,975
Daedalus, he blamed himself for everything.
319
00:17:24,976 --> 00:17:26,144
Yes.
320
00:17:26,145 --> 00:17:30,108
He would catch himself at his worktable, in
the middle of something quite ordinary...
321
00:17:30,109 --> 00:17:33,490
gluing a joint, sharpening a tool,
with tears falling.
322
00:17:33,821 --> 00:17:35,864
Only children could reach him.
323
00:17:35,865 --> 00:17:38,118
The kind king had two daughters.
324
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,328
And when they came to visit his workshop...
325
00:17:40,329 --> 00:17:44,629
people said it was the only time
the great artist smiled.
326
00:17:45,754 --> 00:17:49,718
I'm so tired. I'm going to sit down.
327
00:17:49,883 --> 00:17:53,139
I have had such a nice meal,
I'm going to burp.
328
00:17:54,516 --> 00:17:58,021
Now I'm going to have a sleep.
329
00:17:59,814 --> 00:18:01,816
You're so clever.
330
00:18:01,817 --> 00:18:03,445
Am I?
331
00:18:05,487 --> 00:18:06,990
That's funny.
332
00:18:06,991 --> 00:18:08,618
A flying boy.
333
00:18:08,700 --> 00:18:11,204
Yes, it is funny, isn't it?
334
00:18:12,872 --> 00:18:15,043
I had a little boy.
335
00:18:15,293 --> 00:18:16,963
But he died.
336
00:18:17,004 --> 00:18:19,048
And it was my fault.
337
00:18:19,673 --> 00:18:22,178
Not so very clever, after all.
338
00:18:23,178 --> 00:18:26,640
Not just my fault.
There was a cruel king, too.
339
00:18:26,641 --> 00:18:29,520
A vile tyrant.
340
00:18:30,522 --> 00:18:33,608
There was unfinished business
between Daedalus and Minos.
341
00:18:33,609 --> 00:18:37,069
Daedalus blamed Minos
for the death of his son.
342
00:18:37,070 --> 00:18:39,156
Minos wanted Daedalus dead, too.
343
00:18:39,157 --> 00:18:40,783
He knew too many secrets.
344
00:18:40,784 --> 00:18:43,369
Minos would not rest until he found him.
345
00:18:43,370 --> 00:18:46,958
He brooded on ways to tempt
Daedalus from his hiding.
346
00:18:46,959 --> 00:18:50,756
He took this shell from kingdom to kingdom.
347
00:18:54,135 --> 00:18:55,302
Put your ear to that.
348
00:18:55,303 --> 00:18:58,226
- No, it might be dirty.
- Put your ear to it.
349
00:18:58,474 --> 00:19:01,686
I am Minos, Lord of Crete...
350
00:19:01,687 --> 00:19:03,395
Emperor of Knossos...
351
00:19:03,396 --> 00:19:07,484
ruler of all the seas
between Greece and Egypt.
352
00:19:07,485 --> 00:19:11,032
This is a triton shell.
353
00:19:11,033 --> 00:19:14,828
Hundreds and thousands of tiny passages.
354
00:19:14,829 --> 00:19:17,916
This is a fine thread...
355
00:19:17,917 --> 00:19:21,005
from the dress of my queen,
Queen Pasipha�.
356
00:19:21,254 --> 00:19:25,759
If anyone can pass the thread
through the shell...
357
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,097
this treasure is theirs.
358
00:19:39,403 --> 00:19:43,824
Nature makes such clever things.
Where are you going?
359
00:19:43,825 --> 00:19:45,702
When I was in Crete...
360
00:19:45,703 --> 00:19:49,331
I designed a prison for King Minos,
like a maze.
361
00:19:49,332 --> 00:19:51,125
This shell is like a maze.
362
00:19:51,126 --> 00:19:53,003
- That's honey.
- That's right.
363
00:19:53,004 --> 00:19:55,090
Ants like sweet things.
364
00:19:55,091 --> 00:19:56,507
What are you doing?
365
00:19:56,508 --> 00:20:01,472
If he doesn't have his thread,
he'll never be able to find his way back.
366
00:20:01,473 --> 00:20:04,059
Now, in you go.
367
00:20:04,060 --> 00:20:05,771
Breakfast.
368
00:20:09,358 --> 00:20:13,783
The reward is yours, King Cocalus. Clever.
369
00:20:14,700 --> 00:20:17,660
There is only one man
in Greece who could do this.
370
00:20:17,661 --> 00:20:20,331
The man who designed
the Labyrinth of Knossos...
371
00:20:20,332 --> 00:20:22,292
who killed his nephew.
372
00:20:22,293 --> 00:20:24,919
The wandering genius, Daedalus.
373
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,217
The man who can fly.
374
00:20:27,717 --> 00:20:29,300
Where is he?
375
00:20:29,301 --> 00:20:32,429
There are 12 ships in the harbor,
armed and ready to fight...
376
00:20:32,430 --> 00:20:35,060
with weapons fashioned by your engineer.
377
00:20:35,309 --> 00:20:37,563
Give him up to me.
378
00:20:38,439 --> 00:20:40,524
Is King Minos taking you away?
379
00:20:40,525 --> 00:20:41,566
Yes.
380
00:20:41,567 --> 00:20:43,320
We don't want him to.
381
00:20:43,321 --> 00:20:45,196
What will he do to you?
382
00:20:45,197 --> 00:20:47,031
I am King Minos.
383
00:20:47,032 --> 00:20:49,869
I silence mouths that speak.
384
00:20:49,870 --> 00:20:52,874
I blind eyes that see.
385
00:20:52,875 --> 00:20:55,921
I execute enemies.
386
00:20:56,171 --> 00:20:59,341
Oh, no. Was he killed?
Did Minos have him killed?
387
00:20:59,342 --> 00:21:00,717
He planned to.
388
00:21:00,718 --> 00:21:02,470
He took a bath before the feast...
389
00:21:02,471 --> 00:21:05,682
smug at his skill
in luring Daedalus from hiding...
390
00:21:05,683 --> 00:21:07,392
planning the execution.
391
00:21:07,393 --> 00:21:10,980
But as Minos lay there,
the steam surrounding him...
392
00:21:10,981 --> 00:21:15,861
in a bath Daedalus had designed,
Daedalus made his own plans.
393
00:21:15,862 --> 00:21:17,907
And he was the master of plans.
394
00:21:17,908 --> 00:21:20,576
I bet this involves a
really clever machine.
395
00:21:20,577 --> 00:21:21,911
No.
396
00:21:21,912 --> 00:21:24,206
No machines.
397
00:21:24,207 --> 00:21:25,832
Just water.
398
00:21:25,833 --> 00:21:29,840
Water heated in a caldron, over a fire.
399
00:21:34,346 --> 00:21:36,556
Daedalus had designed the bathhouse.
400
00:21:36,557 --> 00:21:40,102
He knew every pipe and channel,
every sluice and drain.
401
00:21:40,103 --> 00:21:42,562
When the water in the
caldron was boiling...
402
00:21:42,563 --> 00:21:45,361
he emptied it into the pipes.
403
00:21:49,866 --> 00:21:51,911
He boiled him?
404
00:21:52,661 --> 00:21:54,746
Water took his son from him.
405
00:21:54,747 --> 00:21:56,458
Water killed the king.
406
00:21:56,459 --> 00:22:00,297
But there's no peace in vengeance,
no rest in revenge.
407
00:22:00,463 --> 00:22:02,550
Daedalus survived.
408
00:22:02,717 --> 00:22:04,509
But sometimes he wished he hadn't.
409
00:22:04,510 --> 00:22:07,888
Sometimes, as he sat in his workshop,
day upon day...
410
00:22:07,889 --> 00:22:10,016
staring at nothing...
411
00:22:10,017 --> 00:22:13,104
he wished he'd gone back
to Crete and a quick death...
412
00:22:13,105 --> 00:22:15,859
not the slow dying inside.
413
00:22:38,179 --> 00:22:39,722
Daedalus.
414
00:22:39,723 --> 00:22:43,686
The man who could make anything,
except a way to turn back time...
415
00:22:43,687 --> 00:22:45,937
a way to change the past...
416
00:22:45,938 --> 00:22:50,363
a way to turn solid stone into flesh.
417
00:23:02,544 --> 00:23:04,214
Look.
418
00:23:04,881 --> 00:23:06,509
Look.30558
