1
00:01:09,558 --> 00:01:11,389
What is that?
2
00:01:15,926 --> 00:01:17,966
A thing of darkness.
3
00:01:18,048 --> 00:01:19,297
A night fear.
4
00:01:19,963 --> 00:01:21,461
Don't even look at it.
5
00:01:23,002 --> 00:01:24,958
The face. It's horrible.
6
00:01:25,041 --> 00:01:26,789
Where does it come from?
7
00:01:26,831 --> 00:01:30,161
A long way away,
on a rock at the edge of the world...
8
00:01:30,244 --> 00:01:31,701
lived a woman...
9
00:01:31,784 --> 00:01:34,448
with terrible claws, wings of bronze...
10
00:01:34,532 --> 00:01:37,070
and breath as foul as corpses.
11
00:01:37,154 --> 00:01:40,608
Her hair was a nest of poisonous snakes...
12
00:01:40,692 --> 00:01:42,815
hissing, alive.
13
00:01:42,897 --> 00:01:47,185
Catch her stare,
and she could turn you to stone.
14
00:01:47,309 --> 00:01:50,307
Her name was Medusa, the gorgon.
15
00:01:51,430 --> 00:01:53,387
Imagine her looking away.
16
00:01:53,469 --> 00:01:55,842
And then starting to turn towards you.
17
00:01:55,925 --> 00:01:58,881
Slowly, slowly.
18
00:01:59,005 --> 00:02:02,876
Shall we turn and look at them, sisters?
19
00:02:05,291 --> 00:02:09,910
And the boy sent to kill her came out of
the same shadows that spawned her.
20
00:02:09,994 --> 00:02:14,531
And his birth was first foretold in a cave
as dark as this place.
21
00:02:15,405 --> 00:02:17,278
His name was Perseus.
22
00:02:17,303 --> 00:02:21,403
Sync and corrections by R3V0LV3R.
23
00:02:35,842 --> 00:02:39,172
Acrisius, king of Argos,
had a daughter, Danae.
24
00:02:39,879 --> 00:02:41,669
Now he longed for a son.
25
00:02:41,794 --> 00:02:44,749
What if his wife
should give him another daughter?
26
00:02:44,791 --> 00:02:48,620
What if he gave rise to a line of daughters
stretching out forever?
27
00:02:48,703 --> 00:02:52,658
Women who would carry off
his name and lineage to strangers.
28
00:02:52,991 --> 00:02:57,278
This ache for a boy child,
an heir, gripped his heart...
29
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,440
and he made sacrifice
after sacrifice to the gods...
30
00:03:01,523 --> 00:03:05,145
creators of earth and sky
and moon, until finally...
31
00:03:05,269 --> 00:03:08,059
desperate, he sought out the oracle.
32
00:03:11,429 --> 00:03:14,967
- Who's there?
- Acrisius. King of Argos.
33
00:03:15,050 --> 00:03:17,339
What does the king wish to know?
34
00:03:18,672 --> 00:03:21,169
There's a shame in asking what's to come.
35
00:03:21,253 --> 00:03:25,373
And the King of Argos
knelt in the darkness with a dry mouth...
36
00:03:25,457 --> 00:03:29,411
his heart tapping
like the wind at the temple door.
37
00:03:29,493 --> 00:03:30,784
I want a son.
38
00:03:30,867 --> 00:03:33,864
A son? There will be a boy.
39
00:03:33,948 --> 00:03:36,611
The king's heart lurched in the darkness.
40
00:03:36,944 --> 00:03:38,109
A son!
41
00:03:38,234 --> 00:03:43,022
But not your son, Acrisius, King of Argos.
Your daughter's son.
42
00:03:43,645 --> 00:03:48,141
Danae will have a boy,
and you shall hear his laughter.
43
00:03:48,224 --> 00:03:52,678
And this boy, one day, he'll kill you.
44
00:03:53,343 --> 00:03:55,051
He'll kill you.
45
00:03:55,133 --> 00:03:56,549
What?
46
00:03:56,631 --> 00:03:58,172
He'll kill you.
47
00:03:58,255 --> 00:04:00,461
Lights! Do you hear me? Lights!
48
00:04:04,707 --> 00:04:07,080
Father? Father?
49
00:04:07,162 --> 00:04:09,494
Nothing now for both of us.
50
00:04:09,577 --> 00:04:12,282
No sons, no laughter, no joy.
51
00:04:12,365 --> 00:04:16,444
Nothing but silences and funerals...
52
00:04:16,528 --> 00:04:18,817
and things that might have been.
53
00:04:21,023 --> 00:04:22,230
Father?
54
00:04:24,519 --> 00:04:25,935
Poor girl.
55
00:04:26,683 --> 00:04:29,681
Yes. Terrible.
56
00:04:29,763 --> 00:04:34,218
Shut forever in a chamber of solid bronze
from which there could be no escape.
57
00:04:34,592 --> 00:04:36,299
Nothing now...
58
00:04:36,382 --> 00:04:41,210
but the dark and silence and the trickle
of sunlight in a corner of the cell.
59
00:04:41,626 --> 00:04:45,663
Danae found all her hope
in that finger of light...
60
00:04:45,747 --> 00:04:48,744
looked at it, week after week...
61
00:04:48,827 --> 00:04:52,364
month after month, year after year.
62
00:04:52,448 --> 00:04:53,531
Until one day...
63
00:04:53,613 --> 00:04:55,861
as she gave herself up to the light...
64
00:04:55,945 --> 00:04:57,610
it turned to gold.
65
00:04:57,692 --> 00:05:02,437
Real gold!
Streaming into her lap as she lay there.
66
00:05:14,383 --> 00:05:15,674
What was it?
67
00:05:15,758 --> 00:05:18,962
It was Zeus, lord of all gods.
68
00:05:19,046 --> 00:05:21,251
What was he doing?
69
00:05:21,335 --> 00:05:23,124
Fulfilling the oracle.
70
00:05:25,081 --> 00:05:26,996
So that's how it's done.
71
00:05:28,286 --> 00:05:31,241
No! A baby! How awful!
72
00:05:31,366 --> 00:05:33,988
Was it a boy? Did it kill its grandfather?
73
00:05:34,071 --> 00:05:36,610
Did it have a poisoned rattle or something?
74
00:05:36,693 --> 00:05:39,524
It was a boy. Perseus.
75
00:05:39,607 --> 00:05:42,021
Born in darkness and secret.
76
00:05:42,146 --> 00:05:43,811
A boy whose fate awaited him...
77
00:05:43,894 --> 00:05:47,349
at the end of the world
on a sea-lashed rock.
78
00:05:48,722 --> 00:05:51,136
I smell a man, born of a god.
79
00:05:51,220 --> 00:05:53,425
Sisters, smell the air.
80
00:05:54,425 --> 00:05:57,255
Stare him out, sisters.
81
00:05:57,588 --> 00:06:00,418
Give him the sad eye.
82
00:06:01,667 --> 00:06:03,165
Years passed...
83
00:06:03,249 --> 00:06:05,787
and all Perseus knew was the room...
84
00:06:05,871 --> 00:06:08,743
the sweet touch of his mother,
and her stories.
85
00:06:08,826 --> 00:06:11,740
And the quiet unraveling of day after day.
86
00:06:11,824 --> 00:06:13,655
What's the world like?
87
00:06:14,612 --> 00:06:15,777
Not like this.
88
00:06:15,861 --> 00:06:17,526
What's this then?
89
00:06:18,150 --> 00:06:19,108
A prison.
90
00:06:19,190 --> 00:06:21,230
I thought it was the world.
91
00:06:21,313 --> 00:06:23,394
When Perseus was six years old...
92
00:06:23,477 --> 00:06:25,226
Danae made for him a sword...
93
00:06:25,309 --> 00:06:29,179
from wood pulled from her bed
and smoothed on the stone floor.
94
00:06:29,263 --> 00:06:33,550
When she placed it in his hands,
the little boy just stood there...
95
00:06:33,634 --> 00:06:36,048
his pale eyes troubled.
96
00:06:36,465 --> 00:06:39,420
You fight with it. You
fight monsters with it.
97
00:06:40,127 --> 00:06:42,291
A long way away,
on a rock at the edge of the world...
98
00:06:42,375 --> 00:06:44,789
lives a woman with terrible claws...
99
00:06:44,872 --> 00:06:48,326
wings of bronze,
and breath as foul as corpses.
100
00:06:48,451 --> 00:06:52,031
Her hair is a nest of poisonous snakes...
101
00:06:52,447 --> 00:06:53,654
alive...
102
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:55,610
and hissing!
103
00:06:56,276 --> 00:06:57,942
Catch her eyes...
104
00:06:58,649 --> 00:07:00,730
and she'll turn you to stone.
105
00:07:16,797 --> 00:07:20,584
And this pale, bloodless noise
caught in the still passages...
106
00:07:20,668 --> 00:07:24,122
echoed, crept into the
ear of the sad king...
107
00:07:24,205 --> 00:07:26,911
chilled him, pulled him from his chamber...
108
00:07:26,995 --> 00:07:30,616
pulled him down corridors
where laughter had long died...
109
00:07:30,698 --> 00:07:34,528
where joy had perished,
pulled him down and down...
110
00:07:34,611 --> 00:07:36,776
into the bowels of his palace.
111
00:07:43,602 --> 00:07:46,682
Don't kill him! Please!
112
00:07:46,765 --> 00:07:48,638
Please don't kill my boy!
113
00:07:53,092 --> 00:07:57,795
Take this chest and shut in it
my daughter and her son.
114
00:07:57,879 --> 00:08:00,584
Cast it from the highest cliff
into the ocean...
115
00:08:00,667 --> 00:08:05,496
and let the seas mash them,
and the rocks grind them.
116
00:08:05,579 --> 00:08:09,491
Perseus could feel the chest lifted,
hear the clash of heel on stone...
117
00:08:09,575 --> 00:08:13,321
and then the drag, the lurch,
as the chest was carried off...
118
00:08:13,404 --> 00:08:14,694
where they knew not...
119
00:08:14,778 --> 00:08:18,773
and then cold, sharp salt air
seeping into the wood.
120
00:08:18,857 --> 00:08:22,644
He clung in silence to his silent mother.
121
00:08:22,728 --> 00:08:24,600
He must have been frightened.
122
00:08:24,684 --> 00:08:28,305
Imagine! Suddenly a heave...
123
00:08:28,804 --> 00:08:31,967
and then the world dropping
from the pit of your stomach...
124
00:08:32,051 --> 00:08:36,879
the fall, the forever fall, the plunge,
turning over and over...
125
00:08:36,962 --> 00:08:38,336
clinging together.
126
00:08:38,419 --> 00:08:40,542
And then the smash of wood on water...
127
00:08:40,625 --> 00:08:42,249
and the wetness forcing in.
128
00:08:42,331 --> 00:08:43,289
That's terrible!
129
00:08:43,414 --> 00:08:44,413
They just drowned?
130
00:08:44,497 --> 00:08:47,160
They should have drowned.
They dreamed they drowned.
131
00:08:47,285 --> 00:08:48,866
But then they woke...
132
00:08:48,950 --> 00:08:52,071
and they were still there,
still locked in the dark...
133
00:08:52,196 --> 00:08:55,776
but now the dark moved them
from side to side.
134
00:08:55,860 --> 00:08:57,857
- Rocked them.
- They floated!
135
00:08:57,940 --> 00:08:59,273
They floated.
136
00:08:59,355 --> 00:09:02,144
Pulled by currents, tugged by tides.
137
00:09:02,228 --> 00:09:04,517
How long this lasted, who knows?
138
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,722
There were no days or nights,
only drifting...
139
00:09:07,805 --> 00:09:10,801
drifting in and out of sleep, on and on.
140
00:09:13,217 --> 00:09:14,964
Until, from nowhere...
141
00:09:15,048 --> 00:09:19,002
out of nothing, suddenly there was light!
142
00:09:19,084 --> 00:09:22,290
Light! More light
than Perseus had ever known.
143
00:09:22,415 --> 00:09:25,453
And into the light, a face.
And it was smiling.
144
00:09:25,536 --> 00:09:29,740
Look what the sea brought us! Look!
145
00:09:38,356 --> 00:09:40,355
What are you thinking, son?
146
00:09:40,729 --> 00:09:43,684
When I was small, we lived in a prison.
147
00:09:45,057 --> 00:09:47,305
I remember the prison.
148
00:09:47,389 --> 00:09:50,594
There was a narrow window.
It was always quiet.
149
00:09:53,174 --> 00:09:55,296
Sometimes I miss the darkness.
150
00:09:55,921 --> 00:09:58,709
I miss the shadows and the silence.
151
00:09:58,793 --> 00:10:01,000
My house is full of shadows.
152
00:10:01,082 --> 00:10:02,913
Come and live with me.
153
00:10:03,871 --> 00:10:05,036
Is this your son?
154
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:06,493
He is my son.
155
00:10:06,910 --> 00:10:08,658
His name is Perseus.
156
00:10:08,741 --> 00:10:10,697
And where's his father?
157
00:10:10,781 --> 00:10:12,612
Diktys? Ls this your son?
158
00:10:12,696 --> 00:10:14,235
He has no father.
159
00:10:15,484 --> 00:10:17,190
A boy needs a father.
160
00:10:18,065 --> 00:10:20,687
How would you like me to be your father?
161
00:10:20,770 --> 00:10:24,766
How would you like to live
in a palace full of shadows?
162
00:10:25,557 --> 00:10:27,596
It could be easily done.
163
00:10:27,721 --> 00:10:31,175
All I would have to do
is take your mother for my wife.
164
00:10:31,259 --> 00:10:32,924
Leave my mother alone!
165
00:10:33,257 --> 00:10:34,256
Who are you?
166
00:10:34,339 --> 00:10:37,669
His name is Polydektes.
King of all of this island...
167
00:10:37,752 --> 00:10:40,000
stealer of farms, liar.
168
00:10:40,083 --> 00:10:42,497
Gatherer in of beautiful things.
169
00:10:43,829 --> 00:10:48,740
And if I choose,
I will take your mother for my wife.
170
00:10:50,988 --> 00:10:55,650
I will marry her in six days.
Come to the wedding...
171
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,147
if you can afford a bride-gift.
172
00:11:00,853 --> 00:11:03,516
Is that a treasure chest, Perseus?
173
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,763
Bring your weight in gold coins, Perseus.
174
00:11:06,847 --> 00:11:10,260
Bring your oak chest full of gold pieces.
175
00:11:10,342 --> 00:11:14,047
I have no gold. The chest is empty.
176
00:11:14,131 --> 00:11:15,380
Dear.
177
00:11:16,254 --> 00:11:18,126
What is to be done?
178
00:11:23,288 --> 00:11:24,619
A long way away...
179
00:11:24,703 --> 00:11:26,992
on a rock at the edge
of the world lives a woman...
180
00:11:27,117 --> 00:11:29,990
whose hair is a nest of poisonous snakes.
181
00:11:30,072 --> 00:11:33,111
Catch her eye and she'll turn you to stone.
182
00:11:33,194 --> 00:11:35,857
I'll bring you something better than gold.
183
00:11:38,105 --> 00:11:40,895
I'll bring you the head of the gorgon.
184
00:11:40,977 --> 00:11:45,015
Really? The head of the gorgon?
185
00:11:45,597 --> 00:11:46,887
Marvelous.
186
00:11:47,220 --> 00:11:50,633
What a marvelous wedding gift.
187
00:11:51,508 --> 00:11:55,879
I shall. I shall bring you Medusa...
188
00:11:56,419 --> 00:11:58,709
and there will be no wedding.
189
00:11:58,792 --> 00:12:00,749
Somebody called my name!
190
00:12:00,831 --> 00:12:05,035
Sisters, we must keep watch.
191
00:12:05,119 --> 00:12:08,532
Look to the east!
192
00:12:10,459 --> 00:12:14,173
And so it was that Perseus,
half-child, half-god...
193
00:12:14,256 --> 00:12:17,052
found himself with
five days and five nights...
194
00:12:17,136 --> 00:12:19,599
to bring back the severed head
of the gorgon...
195
00:12:19,683 --> 00:12:22,938
fringed with snakes, the gaze that froze...
196
00:12:23,021 --> 00:12:24,774
to prevent the marriage of his mother...
197
00:12:24,857 --> 00:12:28,364
to the tyrant, Polydektes,
Lord of Seriphos.
198
00:12:28,447 --> 00:12:32,829
I don't know who I hate more,
this Polydektes, or the gorgon.
199
00:12:33,997 --> 00:12:37,295
Poor Danae, did she have to marry him?
200
00:12:37,378 --> 00:12:39,298
Poor Perseus.
201
00:12:39,383 --> 00:12:40,759
Poor Perseus.
202
00:12:40,844 --> 00:12:44,266
How could he bring back the head of
the gorgon to Polydektes' table?
203
00:12:44,348 --> 00:12:46,561
Did such a monster really exist?
204
00:12:46,643 --> 00:12:49,023
Where was this island
at the edge of the world...
205
00:12:49,106 --> 00:12:53,906
beyond ocean, beyond nights,
beyond the north wind?
206
00:12:55,075 --> 00:12:57,704
He wasted one whole day by the seashore...
207
00:12:57,787 --> 00:12:59,416
stared into the red night.
208
00:12:59,498 --> 00:13:01,001
So what happened?
209
00:13:01,085 --> 00:13:03,254
The gods helped him.
210
00:13:03,339 --> 00:13:05,551
Remember, he was Zeus' son.
211
00:13:05,634 --> 00:13:08,472
Athene the daughter of Zeus,
Hermes the messenger...
212
00:13:08,556 --> 00:13:11,310
they found him. They gave him this sword...
213
00:13:11,394 --> 00:13:14,482
a real sword, and a bright bronze shield.
214
00:13:14,566 --> 00:13:16,777
- And Athene...
- She was his sister, then?
215
00:13:16,861 --> 00:13:18,447
She was his half-sister.
216
00:13:18,531 --> 00:13:21,786
Warned him never to look
directly at the gorgon...
217
00:13:21,869 --> 00:13:24,999
but to catch her stare
in the reflection of the shield.
218
00:13:25,667 --> 00:13:28,839
Go to the Graeae,
she told him, sisters of the gorgon.
219
00:13:28,923 --> 00:13:30,634
They will know where to find her.
220
00:13:30,718 --> 00:13:33,514
And at length, Perseus found the Graeae...
221
00:13:33,597 --> 00:13:37,312
three hags who had but one tooth
and one eye between them.
222
00:13:37,437 --> 00:13:40,192
The gorgon's sisters.
223
00:13:40,275 --> 00:13:43,071
Zeus, father of the gods,
lord of the storm...
224
00:13:43,155 --> 00:13:46,118
cloud gatherer, give me a six!
225
00:13:46,243 --> 00:13:48,164
Give her a two!
226
00:13:48,247 --> 00:13:50,000
Give her nothing, Zeus!
227
00:13:50,084 --> 00:13:51,168
Who's there?
228
00:13:51,252 --> 00:13:53,006
A traveler. And I hold the eye!
229
00:13:53,088 --> 00:13:54,299
Give it to me!
230
00:13:54,382 --> 00:13:56,719
Not until you tell me
where I may find the gorgon.
231
00:13:56,803 --> 00:13:59,766
Give me the eye! I'll tell you. Me!
232
00:13:59,850 --> 00:14:03,940
The Graeae screeched
and spat and clawed to betray their sister.
233
00:14:04,023 --> 00:14:06,236
But Perseus would not give up the eye...
234
00:14:06,319 --> 00:14:07,822
until he knew everything.
235
00:14:07,904 --> 00:14:09,574
I'll tell you everything. Give it to me.
236
00:14:09,699 --> 00:14:11,453
I'll tell you everything. Anything!
237
00:14:11,535 --> 00:14:13,414
Go to the nymphs of the Styx.
238
00:14:13,540 --> 00:14:17,671
They have the cap of invisibility,
the winged sandals to carry you.
239
00:14:17,754 --> 00:14:19,299
I know where they are!
240
00:14:19,381 --> 00:14:21,594
Here's your eye! Betrayers.
241
00:14:21,677 --> 00:14:23,890
I have it! I have it!
242
00:14:25,685 --> 00:14:28,648
Go, stranger, go to the nymphs...
243
00:14:28,731 --> 00:14:31,194
take every weapon, make yourself invisible.
244
00:14:31,278 --> 00:14:33,155
It will not help you.
245
00:14:33,239 --> 00:14:36,495
My sister will freeze
the breath in your throat!
246
00:14:37,036 --> 00:14:41,001
He's coming, sister! He's coming!
247
00:14:41,836 --> 00:14:44,341
He is coming, my sisters.
248
00:14:44,423 --> 00:14:46,552
I smell him on the breeze.
249
00:14:46,636 --> 00:14:49,098
He is coming to me!
250
00:14:50,727 --> 00:14:54,190
Is this it? The cap of invisibility. Nice.
251
00:14:54,274 --> 00:14:55,944
It's dog skin.
252
00:14:56,026 --> 00:14:57,863
I don't believe you!
253
00:14:58,448 --> 00:15:00,409
That cap is dog skin?
254
00:15:00,492 --> 00:15:02,121
That's disgusting.
255
00:15:02,205 --> 00:15:03,998
- It is.
- Yuck!
256
00:15:04,082 --> 00:15:06,461
Three things he had
from the Stygian Nymphs...
257
00:15:06,545 --> 00:15:10,049
as beautiful in their black
lake as the Graeae were foul...
258
00:15:10,133 --> 00:15:12,971
the kunee, cap of invisibility...
259
00:15:13,055 --> 00:15:16,059
the kibisis, a leather pouch
in which to carry the gorgon's head...
260
00:15:16,144 --> 00:15:19,274
and winged sandals so that he might fly.
261
00:15:19,357 --> 00:15:22,154
They say he flew out so far...
262
00:15:22,238 --> 00:15:25,617
he came to the place
where the great Titan, Atlas, stood...
263
00:15:25,702 --> 00:15:29,082
whose punishment it was
to hold up the heavens.
264
00:15:29,165 --> 00:15:31,753
And he called out to the sad giant.
265
00:15:31,795 --> 00:15:33,631
But his voice was tiny.
266
00:15:34,048 --> 00:15:35,425
Medusa!
267
00:15:36,011 --> 00:15:38,598
Medusa the gorgon! How can I find her?
268
00:15:39,140 --> 00:15:40,560
Is it a man?
269
00:15:41,227 --> 00:15:43,147
All sounds are small.
270
00:15:44,608 --> 00:15:47,363
You make such a noise about your destiny.
271
00:15:48,155 --> 00:15:51,620
I am tired of bearing
the weight of heavens.
272
00:15:51,702 --> 00:15:54,958
But if I let go,
the sky will fall on your heads.
273
00:15:55,042 --> 00:15:57,963
I seek Medusa, the gorgon...
274
00:15:58,047 --> 00:16:00,509
whose look turns to stone.
275
00:16:00,593 --> 00:16:02,763
The gorgon?
276
00:16:02,847 --> 00:16:06,477
The gorgon is on a rock
at the edge of the world.
277
00:16:06,562 --> 00:16:11,152
I dream she passes
and her stare turns me to stone.
278
00:16:13,197 --> 00:16:14,992
No more weight.
279
00:16:15,076 --> 00:16:17,330
Come closer.
280
00:16:17,412 --> 00:16:21,461
Come closer! Come closer!
281
00:16:22,463 --> 00:16:26,011
Was she waiting?
She was waiting for him, wasn't she?
282
00:16:26,095 --> 00:16:28,890
- Yes, she was waiting.
- Stop it!
283
00:16:28,974 --> 00:16:31,060
He lands on the island. Imagine!
284
00:16:31,144 --> 00:16:35,986
Moving through statues, through people
the gorgon has frozen to stone.
285
00:16:36,445 --> 00:16:39,115
And he's wearing his cap,
and he's clutching his sword...
286
00:16:39,199 --> 00:16:41,286
but none of those things seem to help him.
287
00:16:41,369 --> 00:16:44,417
He's invisible but he's
sure she can see him.
288
00:16:44,499 --> 00:16:46,210
She can smell him!
289
00:16:46,294 --> 00:16:48,840
He's frightened, so frightened.
290
00:16:53,515 --> 00:16:55,685
He's here, sisters. He's come.
291
00:16:55,811 --> 00:17:00,235
The man who seeks us is here.
Wake, sisters, wake.
292
00:17:00,568 --> 00:17:03,198
Why won't you show yourself, stranger?
293
00:17:03,615 --> 00:17:04,992
Are you frightened?
294
00:17:05,076 --> 00:17:07,621
Where are you? I can't see you.
295
00:17:07,705 --> 00:17:09,918
He wants to look at her, wants to turn.
296
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,004
The voice tempting him to turn.
297
00:17:12,088 --> 00:17:15,092
She can't see him,
but her voice can charm him.
298
00:17:15,176 --> 00:17:18,223
He's invisible,
but if he looks at her, he's finished.
299
00:17:18,306 --> 00:17:20,476
I like to be looked at.
300
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,938
And I like to look, too.
301
00:17:23,064 --> 00:17:24,650
Where are you?
302
00:17:27,947 --> 00:17:32,121
Look into my eyes.
There's a world in my eyes.
303
00:17:32,203 --> 00:17:34,458
Where are you, stranger?
304
00:17:38,757 --> 00:17:41,177
Why don't you look at me?
305
00:17:41,261 --> 00:17:43,974
I like to be looked at.
306
00:17:44,058 --> 00:17:45,602
Can you see me?
307
00:17:51,487 --> 00:17:53,072
Medusa!
308
00:17:55,202 --> 00:17:57,579
Sister!
309
00:17:57,664 --> 00:18:01,002
Where is he? Kill him!
310
00:18:03,089 --> 00:18:05,593
He did it! He did it!
311
00:18:05,677 --> 00:18:07,346
Who are these other gorgons?
312
00:18:07,430 --> 00:18:09,516
You never mentioned three gorgons.
313
00:18:10,393 --> 00:18:13,606
If I told the whole story,
your head would burst.
314
00:18:13,690 --> 00:18:17,865
There is no one story. There are
branches, rooms, like this place...
315
00:18:17,947 --> 00:18:20,410
rooms, corridors, dead ends.
316
00:18:20,494 --> 00:18:22,748
What about the minutes
his mother spent waiting...
317
00:18:22,830 --> 00:18:25,125
the minutes running away,
what happened to them?
318
00:18:25,210 --> 00:18:28,131
Or Diktys, his family broken on a whim?
319
00:18:28,215 --> 00:18:32,347
Or Acrisius the king,
haunted, whose sleep is always fitful...
320
00:18:32,471 --> 00:18:34,266
who cannot forget the oracle?
321
00:18:34,349 --> 00:18:37,230
Yes, the gorgon had sisters.
322
00:18:37,313 --> 00:18:40,777
Yes, Perseus turned
the sad giant Atlas to stone.
323
00:18:40,861 --> 00:18:43,156
- I can't tell you...
- Hang on, hang on.
324
00:18:43,241 --> 00:18:44,784
He turned Atlas to stone?
325
00:18:44,867 --> 00:18:47,747
He flew past Atlas
and took pity on the poor giant...
326
00:18:47,831 --> 00:18:49,501
showed him the sad eye...
327
00:18:49,583 --> 00:18:52,714
let him sleep the long sleep of a mountain.
328
00:18:52,798 --> 00:18:54,216
Atlas! Atlas!
329
00:18:55,302 --> 00:18:57,347
I did not forget.
330
00:18:59,141 --> 00:19:02,397
And then home,
with the gorgon's head in his hands...
331
00:19:02,481 --> 00:19:04,692
his sword pointing the way in front of him.
332
00:19:04,817 --> 00:19:05,985
Perhaps he's too late.
333
00:19:06,070 --> 00:19:08,407
Perhaps his mother
has been taken to the palace.
334
00:19:08,489 --> 00:19:11,370
Perhaps Polydektes has already married her.
335
00:19:18,047 --> 00:19:19,467
Who's this?
336
00:19:20,386 --> 00:19:22,263
Don't you know me, Polydektes?
337
00:19:22,389 --> 00:19:23,598
Perseus!
338
00:19:26,061 --> 00:19:27,354
Let her go.
339
00:19:32,697 --> 00:19:35,494
I have brought you a gift for your wedding.
340
00:19:37,121 --> 00:19:38,957
Would you look on it?
341
00:19:39,041 --> 00:19:43,172
You've brought me
the gorgon's head, have you?
342
00:19:43,257 --> 00:19:44,425
I have.
343
00:19:47,221 --> 00:19:48,556
My friends...
344
00:19:49,308 --> 00:19:52,355
the boy has been to the end of the world...
345
00:19:52,439 --> 00:19:56,695
and come back with the Medusa's head.
346
00:19:57,239 --> 00:19:59,700
I advise you to remove yourselves.
347
00:19:59,784 --> 00:20:02,831
One look... Is this right, boy?
348
00:20:02,915 --> 00:20:07,131
One look and we shall all be petrified!
349
00:20:07,213 --> 00:20:08,674
That's right.
350
00:20:10,384 --> 00:20:13,766
Dear, I think we'll show our true colors.
351
00:20:13,850 --> 00:20:17,063
Is anyone else frightened of a story?
352
00:20:17,188 --> 00:20:19,693
Of a child's nightmare?
353
00:20:19,776 --> 00:20:21,111
The gorgon?
354
00:20:25,703 --> 00:20:27,372
So weak!
355
00:20:28,499 --> 00:20:30,961
Will no one stay with me?
356
00:20:33,215 --> 00:20:35,177
He's lying!
357
00:20:35,260 --> 00:20:36,887
It's a dream.
358
00:20:38,474 --> 00:20:39,601
Come, boy.
359
00:20:40,477 --> 00:20:41,645
Sit.
360
00:20:41,730 --> 00:20:42,857
Eat with me.
361
00:20:44,109 --> 00:20:46,195
I dreamed of dark.
362
00:20:47,447 --> 00:20:49,117
I dreamed of light.
363
00:20:51,370 --> 00:20:53,206
I dreamed I was a king.
364
00:20:54,585 --> 00:20:57,046
I dreamed I was a god's son.
365
00:20:58,132 --> 00:21:02,806
I dreamed your limbs grew heavy
and your blood turned to sand.
366
00:21:02,931 --> 00:21:05,352
And I dreamed you cried out.
367
00:21:09,901 --> 00:21:13,115
He turned him to stone. Good!
368
00:21:14,868 --> 00:21:16,329
So the oracle was wrong?
369
00:21:16,412 --> 00:21:17,456
What?
370
00:21:17,539 --> 00:21:18,666
Acrisius.
371
00:21:18,749 --> 00:21:21,463
The oracle said Perseus
would kill his grandfather...
372
00:21:21,545 --> 00:21:22,547
and he didn't.
373
00:21:22,631 --> 00:21:24,510
I went to the oracle once.
374
00:21:24,592 --> 00:21:25,928
Never ask.
375
00:21:26,053 --> 00:21:28,390
You never hear what you hope for.
376
00:21:29,726 --> 00:21:33,774
When Danae told Perseus about his birth,
about the oracle...
377
00:21:33,858 --> 00:21:36,529
Perseus felt compassion for Acrisius.
378
00:21:36,613 --> 00:21:38,615
He decided to return to Argos...
379
00:21:38,699 --> 00:21:41,412
and promise his grandfather
he would do him no harm.
380
00:21:41,496 --> 00:21:42,580
Good.
381
00:21:42,664 --> 00:21:45,002
But what does it take
for an accident to happen?
382
00:21:45,085 --> 00:21:48,424
Imagine, after standing
for 1,000 winters...
383
00:21:48,507 --> 00:21:53,015
this roof should suddenly give
up its spirit, fall on our head.
384
00:21:54,935 --> 00:21:56,062
What?
385
00:21:56,145 --> 00:21:58,649
What is that? Chance? Fate?
386
00:21:59,067 --> 00:22:03,240
The god's sport? So it was
with Perseus and Acrisius.
387
00:22:03,657 --> 00:22:07,163
The old king heard of Perseus' deeds...
388
00:22:07,247 --> 00:22:11,296
fled from Argos, hid from him
in the narrow lanes of Larissa.
389
00:22:11,421 --> 00:22:15,093
Perseus traveled slowly
to Argos, stopping off on the way.
390
00:22:15,178 --> 00:22:20,018
There was a contest at Larissa.
He stopped for it. Hurled the discus. Wild.
391
00:22:20,143 --> 00:22:24,233
Past all the others.
Hurled it into the sky.
392
00:22:24,317 --> 00:22:25,611
Watch out!
393
00:22:25,694 --> 00:22:28,323
Acrisius, haunted, stood in the crowd.
394
00:22:28,408 --> 00:22:31,579
The discus sought him out
with the strength of an oracle...
395
00:22:31,663 --> 00:22:34,041
found him, killed him.
396
00:22:34,125 --> 00:22:38,090
So the oracle was true. That's terrible.
397
00:22:38,174 --> 00:22:41,178
Yes, oracles are true.
398
00:22:41,262 --> 00:22:43,558
Stories are true.
399
00:22:43,641 --> 00:22:46,312
There are monsters at the end of the world.
400
00:22:46,395 --> 00:22:51,320
There are looks that can kill,
and who has not been petrified with fear?
401
00:22:51,445 --> 00:22:54,534
Ask Athene, warrior daughter of Zeus...
402
00:22:54,618 --> 00:22:57,623
weaver, maker of spiders.
403
00:22:57,706 --> 00:23:00,752
She will tell you the things I cannot.
404
00:23:00,837 --> 00:23:04,175
She will sing the praises
of Perseus the hero...
405
00:23:04,259 --> 00:23:07,807
father of the Argives, the gorgon slayer.29895
