00:00:26,728 --> 00:00:30,264
NARRATOR:
Hear now the song of Troy,
2
00:00:30,330 --> 00:00:34,268
and of the years
the sea would not forget.
3
00:00:34,334 --> 00:00:35,637
There was a city once...
4
00:00:35,703 --> 00:00:37,170
Land ahoy!
5
00:00:37,237 --> 00:00:39,807
Walls higher than
any siege tower,
6
00:00:39,874 --> 00:00:43,645
thick enough that no
battering ram could crack them.
7
00:00:43,711 --> 00:00:46,981
A city that should
never have fallen,
8
00:00:47,047 --> 00:00:49,149
crowned in gold,
9
00:00:49,216 --> 00:00:52,787
its walls raised
by the hands of gods.
10
00:00:52,854 --> 00:00:57,391
Prince of Troy, Paris,
set his heart on Helen,
11
00:00:57,457 --> 00:01:00,327
wife of Menelaus,
king of Sparta,
12
00:01:00,394 --> 00:01:02,764
a woman already claimed.
13
00:01:02,830 --> 00:01:06,366
He carried her away
to have her as his own.
14
00:01:07,669 --> 00:01:11,673
And so the kingdoms of
Greece rose as one.
15
00:01:11,739 --> 00:01:16,511
For ten long years Greece
laid siege to Troy.
16
00:01:16,578 --> 00:01:20,347
Spears broke, but
their walls did not.
17
00:01:20,414 --> 00:01:23,051
Among the Greeks
walked a man who carried
18
00:01:23,116 --> 00:01:25,553
no sword sharper than his mind.
19
00:01:25,620 --> 00:01:28,322
He knew what the
others could not see:
20
00:01:28,388 --> 00:01:31,091
that Troy would not be broken.
21
00:01:31,158 --> 00:01:33,595
It would have to be deceived.
22
00:01:39,067 --> 00:01:42,704
Odysseus, king of Ithaca,
23
00:01:42,770 --> 00:01:47,775
patient as the tide,
cunning as a fox in winter.
24
00:01:51,244 --> 00:01:53,681
A decades long war had ended,
25
00:01:53,748 --> 00:01:57,284
but for Odysseus,
the longest journey
26
00:01:57,351 --> 00:01:58,720
was only just beginning.
27
00:01:59,887 --> 00:02:01,556
The King!
28
00:02:01,623 --> 00:02:03,091
King Odysseus!
29
00:02:03,156 --> 00:02:06,126
Our men are gone,
but Troy is fallen,
30
00:02:06,193 --> 00:02:07,795
and our battle is won.
31
00:02:07,862 --> 00:02:09,262
Where are we going?
32
00:02:09,329 --> 00:02:11,231
Home.
To my kingdom.
33
00:02:11,298 --> 00:02:13,801
To my son. My wife.
34
00:02:13,868 --> 00:02:15,036
You may join me.
35
00:02:15,103 --> 00:02:16,671
Be an advisor
in my court.
36
00:02:16,738 --> 00:02:21,943
For your bravery in this
terrible war, I will ensure
37
00:02:22,010 --> 00:02:24,779
you will want for nothing
for the rest of your life.
38
00:02:24,846 --> 00:02:27,214
Thank you, my King.
39
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,416
It would be my honor.
40
00:02:29,483 --> 00:02:31,919
The journey will not be easy.
41
00:02:31,986 --> 00:02:35,823
I will swim if I must,
but I will get home.
42
00:02:35,890 --> 00:02:37,525
[shouting]
43
00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:40,293
Trojans!
44
00:02:42,096 --> 00:02:43,430
If the gods are willing.
45
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,496
WOMAN: Tell me, O Muse,
the man of many devices,
46
00:03:16,564 --> 00:03:19,667
who wandered full
many ways after he had
47
00:03:19,734 --> 00:03:23,336
sacked the great
citadel of Troy.
48
00:03:23,403 --> 00:03:25,973
Home, then.
49
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,542
Lest I have not honored the gods
50
00:03:27,608 --> 00:03:30,477
enough to receive
the reward I deserve.
51
00:03:33,181 --> 00:03:35,983
Greetings, Odysseus.
52
00:03:36,050 --> 00:03:36,984
The good man.
53
00:03:38,686 --> 00:03:40,922
Goddess on high.
54
00:03:40,988 --> 00:03:42,322
Clever, maybe.
55
00:03:42,389 --> 00:03:44,058
Clever is better than good.
56
00:03:44,125 --> 00:03:45,325
Not just clever.
57
00:03:46,393 --> 00:03:50,164
Brutal, decisive,
and ingenious.
58
00:03:50,230 --> 00:03:53,901
Hiding your soldiers
in the gift of a wooden horse,
59
00:03:53,968 --> 00:03:55,435
your Trojan horse.
60
00:03:55,503 --> 00:03:58,506
Taking the city by surprise
from the inside out.
61
00:03:58,573 --> 00:03:59,974
Your greatest work.
62
00:04:00,041 --> 00:04:02,143
It did what it was made to do.
63
00:04:02,210 --> 00:04:03,811
But I cannot look behind.
64
00:04:03,878 --> 00:04:06,581
As any craftsman
worth his salt, I pray
65
00:04:06,647 --> 00:04:09,282
that my greatest
work lies ahead.
66
00:04:09,349 --> 00:04:11,451
Perhaps it does.
67
00:04:11,519 --> 00:04:15,690
So home, then. Ithaca.
To your wife.
68
00:04:15,757 --> 00:04:16,758
Your city.
69
00:04:16,824 --> 00:04:19,359
Yes, the only
journey worth the fight.
70
00:04:19,426 --> 00:04:21,294
Are you coming with me, Athena?
71
00:04:21,361 --> 00:04:23,598
Or is there another
reason for this visit?
72
00:04:23,664 --> 00:04:26,333
I come to bring you a warning.
73
00:04:26,399 --> 00:04:30,437
The gods,
they are fickle, Odysseus.
74
00:04:30,505 --> 00:04:34,341
They will not make your
journey home an easy one.
75
00:04:34,407 --> 00:04:37,779
Your trials will be
their entertainment.
76
00:04:37,845 --> 00:04:40,882
They know now that
you are a clever man.
77
00:04:40,948 --> 00:04:42,717
They are jealous.
78
00:04:42,784 --> 00:04:46,554
They will use this against
you to show their power.
79
00:04:48,256 --> 00:04:50,858
Curse me or bless me,
Goddess on high.
80
00:04:50,925 --> 00:04:53,094
But be quick about it.
81
00:04:53,161 --> 00:04:55,295
In due time.
82
00:04:55,362 --> 00:04:57,698
And so begins your odyssey.
83
00:04:57,765 --> 00:05:00,467
And the game of the gods.
84
00:05:02,270 --> 00:05:04,172
Then pray for me, goddess.
85
00:05:04,238 --> 00:05:06,473
For I must reach home.
86
00:05:06,541 --> 00:05:08,308
For my kingdom.
87
00:05:08,375 --> 00:05:09,342
My everything.
88
00:05:09,409 --> 00:05:12,445
My son. My wife.
89
00:05:12,513 --> 00:05:13,881
My world will be gone.
90
00:05:29,297 --> 00:05:31,431
I am looking for men.
91
00:05:31,498 --> 00:05:33,668
A crew for a dangerous journey.
92
00:05:35,169 --> 00:05:37,805
One the gods themselves
may turn their will against.
93
00:05:41,408 --> 00:05:44,745
Once I am home,
as king of Ithaca,
94
00:05:44,812 --> 00:05:49,784
I assure you each will
receive a suitable reward.
95
00:05:51,252 --> 00:05:54,856
You will never want for anything
for the rest of your lives.
96
00:05:56,157 --> 00:05:57,992
You have the word
of the king himself.
97
00:06:01,562 --> 00:06:03,965
A generous offer and reward.
98
00:06:04,031 --> 00:06:05,633
But are you as
good as your word?
99
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:08,669
Polites!
100
00:06:08,736 --> 00:06:10,605
You look a little
bit past your prime.
101
00:06:10,671 --> 00:06:13,040
-By the gods!
-Old man.
102
00:06:13,107 --> 00:06:14,709
After all this time.
103
00:06:14,775 --> 00:06:16,611
All this time and you still
haven't gotten any better
104
00:06:16,677 --> 00:06:18,045
at motivational speeches.
105
00:06:19,446 --> 00:06:22,950
Absolute crickets
from you as well.
106
00:06:23,017 --> 00:06:25,385
This is a man who has saved
my life on numerous occasions.
107
00:06:25,452 --> 00:06:29,090
A debt we have both repaid
each other more than once
108
00:06:29,156 --> 00:06:32,526
in a war that has lasted
more than five years.
109
00:06:35,930 --> 00:06:37,632
Although it's closer to ten now.
110
00:06:42,303 --> 00:06:43,738
But these days,
111
00:06:43,804 --> 00:06:47,541
I am much better collecting
scars than I am glory.
112
00:06:47,608 --> 00:06:50,311
But, you will find plenty
of much younger,
113
00:06:50,378 --> 00:06:53,347
probably not as bright men
more than willing to join you.
114
00:06:53,413 --> 00:06:54,982
But probably not here,
115
00:06:55,049 --> 00:06:57,285
sipping goblets in
the middle of the day.
116
00:06:57,351 --> 00:06:58,686
And the rest here,
117
00:06:58,753 --> 00:07:00,354
well, they know not
the true cost of war,
118
00:07:00,420 --> 00:07:02,757
though they may be eager.
119
00:07:02,823 --> 00:07:04,859
-As once we were.
-As we once were.
120
00:07:04,926 --> 00:07:08,129
Listening to our fathers
and our grandfathers stories.
121
00:07:08,195 --> 00:07:11,399
And just more than
willing to prove ourselves.
122
00:07:11,464 --> 00:07:12,967
Can I trust them?
123
00:07:13,034 --> 00:07:14,802
About as much as
you can trust me.
124
00:07:16,304 --> 00:07:19,106
All I know is that what's
waiting for you back in Ithaca,
125
00:07:19,173 --> 00:07:20,440
now that is your reward.
126
00:07:20,508 --> 00:07:22,076
And you deserve it, too.
127
00:07:22,143 --> 00:07:23,144
But for the rest of us...
128
00:07:26,414 --> 00:07:29,750
Join me.
I need men who I can trust.
129
00:07:29,817 --> 00:07:31,953
Men with
experience in battle.
130
00:07:32,019 --> 00:07:33,621
No, no, no. I will not be
going to any battle.
131
00:07:33,688 --> 00:07:35,256
Or any wars.
Ever again.
132
00:07:35,323 --> 00:07:37,625
I am unpersuadable.
I cannot be persuaded.
133
00:07:37,692 --> 00:07:40,528
Did I mention the gold?
134
00:07:40,594 --> 00:07:43,164
Well, did I mention
unpersuaded?
135
00:07:43,230 --> 00:07:44,198
When do we start?
136
00:07:44,265 --> 00:07:45,266
As soon as we recruit two more.
137
00:07:45,333 --> 00:07:46,499
-Two more?
-Yes.
138
00:07:46,567 --> 00:07:48,869
-Okay. Let's go.
-Let's do this.
139
00:07:49,804 --> 00:07:51,672
Alkimos the Navigator.
140
00:07:51,739 --> 00:07:55,176
From what I heard, he was
the one that saved a ship
141
00:07:55,242 --> 00:07:56,978
of fishermen from a cyclone.
142
00:07:57,044 --> 00:07:58,512
Really?
143
00:07:58,579 --> 00:08:01,481
I've heard of you,
King Odysseus.
144
00:08:01,549 --> 00:08:03,517
What have you heard?
145
00:08:03,584 --> 00:08:06,620
That you, sacker of cities,
son of Laertes,
146
00:08:06,687 --> 00:08:08,990
are favored by the gods.
147
00:08:09,056 --> 00:08:13,327
Not all the gods.
One or two. Maybe less.
148
00:08:13,394 --> 00:08:15,162
You survived the Trojan War.
149
00:08:15,229 --> 00:08:16,764
You're a king.
150
00:08:16,831 --> 00:08:18,866
The King of Ithaca.
151
00:08:18,933 --> 00:08:20,868
I have a family
that comes from Ithaca.
152
00:08:20,935 --> 00:08:23,471
I haven't seen them
since I was little.
153
00:08:23,537 --> 00:08:24,472
You know, my king--
154
00:08:24,538 --> 00:08:25,940
I'm not king today.
155
00:08:28,709 --> 00:08:30,244
But if you help me
get home, I will be.
156
00:08:34,849 --> 00:08:37,351
I'm a good navigator.
157
00:08:37,418 --> 00:08:39,186
But you mentioned gold.
158
00:08:39,253 --> 00:08:40,488
Did I?
159
00:08:40,554 --> 00:08:43,057
Oh. You did. Yes.
You mentioned gold.
160
00:08:43,124 --> 00:08:44,525
He mentioned gold.
161
00:08:44,592 --> 00:08:45,593
Hmm.
162
00:08:45,659 --> 00:08:47,661
I don't seek gold.
163
00:08:47,728 --> 00:08:49,563
I'm bored.
164
00:08:49,630 --> 00:08:51,699
Bored of fishing
boats filled with old men
165
00:08:51,766 --> 00:08:54,135
with putrid smelling cargo.
166
00:08:56,404 --> 00:08:57,506
I seek adventure.
167
00:08:57,571 --> 00:08:59,240
New shores.
168
00:08:59,306 --> 00:09:01,409
Like in the stories.
169
00:09:01,475 --> 00:09:02,743
Stories about you.
170
00:09:07,615 --> 00:09:09,183
Then join me,
171
00:09:09,250 --> 00:09:12,353
and we will make stories
that they will never forget.
172
00:09:12,420 --> 00:09:16,357
And I promise you, it will
be anything but boring.
173
00:09:16,424 --> 00:09:19,693
And once we reach Ithaca,
you can join my guard
174
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,064
and help me protect
our fair kingdom.
175
00:09:23,130 --> 00:09:24,065
My king.
176
00:09:25,866 --> 00:09:27,802
Now, how are you at fighting?
177
00:09:27,868 --> 00:09:29,203
I can handle my own.
178
00:09:29,270 --> 00:09:31,138
But if you want a
force to be reckoned with,
179
00:09:31,205 --> 00:09:33,174
you want to
recruit Eurylochus,
180
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,609
I've never seen another
man fight quite like he has.
181
00:09:38,145 --> 00:09:40,848
We'll pay him a visit next.
182
00:09:44,085 --> 00:09:46,153
So what say you, Eurylochus?
183
00:09:46,220 --> 00:09:49,156
I have killed a lot of
men to protect my home.
184
00:09:49,223 --> 00:09:51,859
War has plagued our
country for many years.
185
00:09:55,663 --> 00:09:57,331
How are you at sea?
186
00:09:57,398 --> 00:10:00,569
I'm a fast swimmer, and
even faster with a sword.
187
00:10:00,634 --> 00:10:02,269
Hm. Is that so?
188
00:10:02,336 --> 00:10:03,637
Hm.
189
00:10:04,805 --> 00:10:06,173
But now that
the war is over,
190
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,742
I've found work at a
vineyard up the road.
191
00:10:08,809 --> 00:10:10,845
The owner, he treats me well.
192
00:10:10,911 --> 00:10:15,483
And his daughter,
Talia, she's...
193
00:10:15,550 --> 00:10:19,487
I just don't know if I can
commit to a journey this long.
194
00:10:19,554 --> 00:10:23,724
You will be in Ithaca
before sundown two days hence.
195
00:10:23,791 --> 00:10:25,726
We have to be.
196
00:10:25,793 --> 00:10:27,995
And if you decide to
stay in our fair kingdom,
197
00:10:28,062 --> 00:10:30,998
you will live a life
of ease in Ithaca.
198
00:10:31,065 --> 00:10:33,801
And once there,
she can join you.
199
00:10:36,237 --> 00:10:38,072
If you teach me
how to be as fast
200
00:10:38,139 --> 00:10:40,374
as you, my king
Odysseus, then I'm in.
201
00:10:44,245 --> 00:10:46,313
And as I promised...
202
00:10:46,380 --> 00:10:47,748
We need gold.
203
00:10:47,815 --> 00:10:50,451
You said we need to
be to Ithaca in two days.
204
00:10:50,519 --> 00:10:53,654
Yes. I have a plan.
205
00:10:53,721 --> 00:10:55,089
But you must trust me.
206
00:10:56,625 --> 00:10:58,092
I'm with you to
the end, my king.
207
00:11:00,194 --> 00:11:01,762
Or thereabouts.
208
00:11:01,829 --> 00:11:06,100
NARRATOR: From Troy, Odysseus
launched his journey home
209
00:11:06,167 --> 00:11:08,702
with 12 ships and 600 men.
210
00:11:10,237 --> 00:11:14,141
At home in Ithaca,
Odysseus's dear wife Penelope
211
00:11:14,208 --> 00:11:16,977
dreams of her love
bearing the brutal seas
212
00:11:17,044 --> 00:11:19,013
to find his way home to her.
213
00:11:21,815 --> 00:11:24,418
[shouting]
214
00:11:46,307 --> 00:11:47,341
Odysseus?
215
00:12:06,493 --> 00:12:07,728
God's above.
216
00:12:09,830 --> 00:12:12,199
You've shown me Odysseus lives.
217
00:12:14,068 --> 00:12:15,736
Now bring him home.
218
00:12:17,338 --> 00:12:20,274
Bring him home now,
or these lips
219
00:12:20,341 --> 00:12:23,511
shall never again
speak your names.
220
00:12:32,253 --> 00:12:33,787
[sobs]
221
00:12:41,862 --> 00:12:43,632
A growing boy needs food.
222
00:12:43,698 --> 00:12:46,834
A boy needs many things,
mother, but I am not a boy.
223
00:12:46,900 --> 00:12:48,369
Not any...
224
00:12:50,705 --> 00:12:51,673
Mother.
225
00:12:51,740 --> 00:12:53,874
I've seen him, Telemachus.
226
00:12:53,941 --> 00:12:55,042
I've seen your father.
227
00:12:55,109 --> 00:12:56,745
You're bleeding.
You must sit.
228
00:12:56,810 --> 00:12:59,514
No, my son.
We must stand and fight.
229
00:12:59,581 --> 00:13:01,081
What have you seen?
230
00:13:02,550 --> 00:13:03,484
A vision.
231
00:13:06,987 --> 00:13:08,155
A message from the gods.
232
00:13:10,791 --> 00:13:12,727
Troy burns.
233
00:13:12,793 --> 00:13:15,195
Your father, he is triumphant.
234
00:13:15,262 --> 00:13:18,098
He is coming home, but it
may not be fast enough.
235
00:13:18,165 --> 00:13:21,168
Ithaca is vulnerable now.
236
00:13:21,235 --> 00:13:22,671
Now that the war is over,
237
00:13:22,737 --> 00:13:26,006
Odysseus must return to
reclaim the throne, otherwise
238
00:13:26,073 --> 00:13:29,310
another can claim this
kingdom as his own.
239
00:13:29,376 --> 00:13:33,581
Your father would rather
die than let that happen.
240
00:13:33,648 --> 00:13:35,149
He will return.
He must.
241
00:13:35,215 --> 00:13:38,419
And in his absence,
I am the man of this house,
242
00:13:38,485 --> 00:13:40,454
and I say that we...
243
00:13:40,522 --> 00:13:43,123
You will be a man
soon enough, my love. You will.
244
00:13:43,190 --> 00:13:47,328
But you cannot be king.
Not yet.
245
00:13:48,663 --> 00:13:50,431
And therein lies our fight.
246
00:13:52,232 --> 00:13:56,036
Each day that your father
is away, others become
247
00:13:56,103 --> 00:13:59,239
more willing to claim
this kingdom as their own.
248
00:13:59,306 --> 00:14:04,646
If he does not return,
I will not also lose you.
249
00:14:04,713 --> 00:14:07,247
So we must be strong, my son.
250
00:14:07,314 --> 00:14:10,618
Together, we must
be like your father.
251
00:14:11,753 --> 00:14:13,921
Smart and resourceful.
252
00:14:13,987 --> 00:14:17,491
And protect this
kingdom without violence.
253
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:20,294
Clever.
254
00:14:25,099 --> 00:14:28,202
So clever as to make
the gods jealous.
255
00:14:30,237 --> 00:14:33,240
Whether we want it or not,
the heavens will continue to
256
00:14:33,307 --> 00:14:36,377
move without Odysseus here
by our side where he belongs.
257
00:14:38,780 --> 00:14:40,481
If he does not return soon
258
00:14:40,548 --> 00:14:43,384
after victory
has been declared,
259
00:14:43,450 --> 00:14:46,086
then by law he will have
abandoned his duties as king.
260
00:14:47,988 --> 00:14:51,793
And a suitor, any suitor,
261
00:14:51,860 --> 00:14:54,662
may lay claim to this house,
262
00:14:54,729 --> 00:14:56,430
and to the crown of Ithaca.
263
00:14:56,497 --> 00:14:58,098
And to you.
264
00:14:59,967 --> 00:15:03,137
The law only reaches so far.
265
00:15:03,203 --> 00:15:08,008
When they come,
and come they will,
266
00:15:08,075 --> 00:15:09,711
we must be ready.
267
00:15:09,778 --> 00:15:15,149
And I am ready to fight for you
and for father and the kingdom.
268
00:15:15,215 --> 00:15:18,853
Son, this is not going
to be a sword fight.
269
00:15:18,952 --> 00:15:21,455
Or even a fight of fists.
270
00:15:21,523 --> 00:15:24,458
This will be a fight
of words and propriety.
271
00:15:26,828 --> 00:15:29,096
We need to buy him time.
272
00:15:29,163 --> 00:15:32,966
Keep the suitors busy.
273
00:15:33,033 --> 00:15:35,969
Their bellies full
and distracted.
274
00:15:37,237 --> 00:15:41,543
Now come and honor me
like you do him.
275
00:15:41,609 --> 00:15:44,378
The war is over now.
276
00:15:44,445 --> 00:15:46,480
But our battle
is just beginning.
277
00:15:58,959 --> 00:16:00,628
Goddess Athena...
278
00:16:02,496 --> 00:16:04,398
Help us.
279
00:16:04,465 --> 00:16:05,966
I pray.
280
00:16:06,033 --> 00:16:08,670
But help Odysseus.
281
00:16:08,736 --> 00:16:10,070
Help my father.
282
00:16:11,739 --> 00:16:13,508
Please.
283
00:16:13,575 --> 00:16:15,476
NARRATOR: The mighty storm
that struck Odysseus
284
00:16:15,543 --> 00:16:20,915
ravaged the sea for ten days,
taking them far off course.
285
00:16:20,981 --> 00:16:23,283
After battling
the storms at sea,
286
00:16:23,350 --> 00:16:26,788
Odysseus has arrived at
his home in Ithaca...
287
00:16:26,855 --> 00:16:28,188
or so he thought.
288
00:16:28,255 --> 00:16:30,424
This is not Ithaca, Athena!
289
00:16:32,660 --> 00:16:35,996
This is another one
of the gods' cruel jokes.
290
00:16:39,634 --> 00:16:40,568
I must get home.
291
00:16:43,972 --> 00:16:45,472
I will get home.
292
00:16:52,212 --> 00:16:53,347
Penelope.
293
00:16:55,249 --> 00:16:56,518
Sweet Penelope.
294
00:16:58,853 --> 00:17:00,354
I will come home.
295
00:17:04,458 --> 00:17:06,694
Look at you keeping
step with the gods.
296
00:17:10,063 --> 00:17:11,231
Athena.
297
00:17:11,298 --> 00:17:13,500
I am many leagues off course.
298
00:17:13,568 --> 00:17:17,070
I'm only two days
journey from Ithaca.
299
00:17:17,137 --> 00:17:18,773
Please.
300
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,342
Spirit me home to Ithaca,
great goddess.
301
00:17:22,409 --> 00:17:24,478
You know that I cannot.
302
00:17:24,546 --> 00:17:27,849
It is not within
my power to do so.
303
00:17:27,916 --> 00:17:29,918
But think, Odysseus.
304
00:17:29,984 --> 00:17:33,755
Perhaps there is a reason
that you are not yet home.
305
00:17:33,821 --> 00:17:36,791
The gods have another plan.
306
00:17:36,858 --> 00:17:37,792
I see.
307
00:17:40,895 --> 00:17:42,931
I am here to help.
308
00:17:42,997 --> 00:17:46,768
I can offer you help three
times along your journey.
309
00:17:46,834 --> 00:17:48,937
Three gifts.
310
00:17:49,003 --> 00:17:50,304
Only three?
311
00:17:50,370 --> 00:17:52,406
'Tis all I am permitted.
312
00:17:52,472 --> 00:17:54,842
I am helping because
I see myself
313
00:17:54,909 --> 00:17:58,546
in your clever mind and
your tactician's brain.
314
00:17:58,613 --> 00:18:02,215
Your glory in
the Trojan War honors me.
315
00:18:02,282 --> 00:18:05,185
And that is why I will help you.
316
00:18:05,252 --> 00:18:06,754
I am flattered, goddess.
317
00:18:08,590 --> 00:18:09,524
I must decline.
318
00:18:11,258 --> 00:18:12,827
I am offended.
319
00:18:12,894 --> 00:18:17,065
Odysseus.
Refusing a gift from the gods?
320
00:18:17,130 --> 00:18:19,099
From Athena herself.
321
00:18:19,166 --> 00:18:22,436
If you cannot spirit
me home then please
322
00:18:22,503 --> 00:18:28,042
understand I must ask for
help only when I need it.
323
00:18:28,108 --> 00:18:33,280
When all hope is lost, my wits
abandon me and death beckons.
324
00:18:35,248 --> 00:18:38,418
In this moment I will
honor your generosity
325
00:18:38,485 --> 00:18:41,254
for I know the
value of godly gifts.
326
00:18:43,123 --> 00:18:46,193
Then you must know even now
327
00:18:46,259 --> 00:18:49,296
dogs are sniffing
at your house
328
00:18:49,363 --> 00:18:51,231
and at your wife.
329
00:18:52,567 --> 00:18:56,236
The gods are testing
your cleverness, Odysseus.
330
00:18:58,806 --> 00:19:01,509
Then I pray the
gods do not stall me
331
00:19:01,576 --> 00:19:03,544
any longer than
they already have.
332
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,116
Go, hero.
333
00:19:08,181 --> 00:19:10,417
Honor me and prove your worth.
334
00:19:11,318 --> 00:19:12,887
Get home.
335
00:19:12,954 --> 00:19:16,591
No matter what horrors the
gods place upon your path.
336
00:19:22,496 --> 00:19:26,868
The opportunity here
is too great to pass up.
337
00:19:26,934 --> 00:19:30,071
A kingdom, a crown,
338
00:19:30,138 --> 00:19:32,974
and even the queen herself
339
00:19:33,041 --> 00:19:35,475
all free for the taking.
340
00:19:35,543 --> 00:19:39,614
And it should be easy
enough owing to propriety
341
00:19:39,681 --> 00:19:41,816
and Grecian law.
342
00:19:41,883 --> 00:19:46,054
All suitors
must be taken seriously.
343
00:19:46,120 --> 00:19:48,321
And I will be the first.
344
00:19:49,757 --> 00:19:51,092
Ha!
345
00:19:51,159 --> 00:19:54,562
The early bird gets the kingdom.
346
00:19:56,631 --> 00:20:01,002
She'll have no choice
but to honor my demands.
347
00:20:01,069 --> 00:20:02,537
All of my demands.
348
00:20:14,849 --> 00:20:18,485
Antinous just said
the most awful things.
349
00:20:18,553 --> 00:20:21,923
Threatening to take the crown,
our house, and you!
350
00:20:23,958 --> 00:20:25,292
Then it has begun.
351
00:20:25,358 --> 00:20:28,529
We must be on our
guard, Telemachus.
352
00:20:28,596 --> 00:20:31,364
Always polite and inviting.
353
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:34,769
But on our guard.
354
00:20:38,573 --> 00:20:40,240
But on our guard!
355
00:20:44,879 --> 00:20:47,849
NARRATOR: Perilous winds
take their toll on the voyagers
356
00:20:47,915 --> 00:20:52,553
who now take shore on
a small island, rich in gold.
357
00:20:52,620 --> 00:20:55,089
Is this part of
the plan, Lord Odysseus?
358
00:20:55,156 --> 00:20:56,356
Indeed, Eurylochus.
359
00:20:56,423 --> 00:20:59,259
Now stay close,
and your lips closed.
360
00:21:00,695 --> 00:21:03,765
I don't quite understand
what this has to do with gold.
361
00:21:03,831 --> 00:21:05,633
We're going to retrieve gold.
362
00:21:05,700 --> 00:21:10,505
My gold that was
stolen by a cyclops.
363
00:21:10,571 --> 00:21:14,208
He's the son of Poseidon,
God of the sea.
364
00:21:14,274 --> 00:21:15,743
A real cyclops?
365
00:21:15,810 --> 00:21:17,245
Why didn't you tell us sooner?
366
00:21:17,310 --> 00:21:18,713
They eat people, so I've heard.
367
00:21:18,780 --> 00:21:20,982
My brave crew...
368
00:21:21,048 --> 00:21:22,784
Alkimos, you wanted adventure.
369
00:21:22,850 --> 00:21:24,218
Here it is.
370
00:21:24,284 --> 00:21:29,157
Eurylochus, you wanted to stay
alive in a cave with a Cyclops.
371
00:21:29,223 --> 00:21:30,591
You must learn to be faster.
372
00:21:30,658 --> 00:21:33,360
And Polites,
now you wanted gold.
373
00:21:35,830 --> 00:21:39,000
Yes, this cyclops has
been hoarding gold for years.
374
00:21:39,066 --> 00:21:40,735
Mine and others.
375
00:21:40,802 --> 00:21:43,738
And it's that gold that's
going to help us get a ship.
376
00:21:43,805 --> 00:21:47,440
He's been terrorizing this
mountainside for many years.
377
00:21:47,508 --> 00:21:48,876
It's time we return the favor.
378
00:21:50,878 --> 00:21:55,315
Today, our journey
begins with a cyclops.
379
00:21:55,382 --> 00:21:58,019
Or it ends before it begins.
380
00:21:58,085 --> 00:21:59,954
Now who's with me?
381
00:22:00,021 --> 00:22:01,122
My king.
382
00:22:01,189 --> 00:22:02,790
Help! Help!
383
00:22:04,158 --> 00:22:05,593
Help! Help!
384
00:22:10,463 --> 00:22:11,999
[whimpering]
385
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,741
He... He ate him.
386
00:22:22,043 --> 00:22:26,814
Do as I say when I say,
then we will win the day.
387
00:22:26,881 --> 00:22:28,415
All right, what's the plan?
388
00:22:28,481 --> 00:22:30,251
We'll circle the
base of the mountain.
389
00:22:30,318 --> 00:22:32,153
Go inside.
390
00:22:32,220 --> 00:22:34,755
Stay close, and downwind.
391
00:22:34,822 --> 00:22:38,059
Cyclops, he can smell
us nearly a league away.
392
00:22:39,594 --> 00:22:40,728
Hold, hold, hold.
393
00:22:44,065 --> 00:22:47,367
At Troy, during the
war, you were there?
394
00:22:47,434 --> 00:22:49,670
I sure was.
395
00:22:49,737 --> 00:22:51,172
I barely survived,
and I probably wouldn't have
396
00:22:51,239 --> 00:22:53,307
if it weren't for Odysseus.
397
00:22:53,373 --> 00:22:56,277
Saved me from
an entire garrison.
398
00:22:56,344 --> 00:22:58,012
Picked them off one by one.
399
00:22:58,079 --> 00:23:00,781
Hiding in the shadows,
which is a pretty big
400
00:23:00,848 --> 00:23:03,651
feat for him, considering
he's a big bastard.
401
00:23:03,718 --> 00:23:06,020
I've only heard stories.
402
00:23:06,087 --> 00:23:07,154
Legends, really.
403
00:23:07,221 --> 00:23:10,124
Well, not everything
you hear is true.
404
00:23:10,191 --> 00:23:13,060
Only half of what
I just said was true.
405
00:23:13,127 --> 00:23:14,695
Is he as good a man as they say?
406
00:23:14,762 --> 00:23:17,231
He's a great man, though
he'd never admit it.
407
00:23:17,298 --> 00:23:19,133
But out of humility.
408
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,336
He's a man who
values many virtues.
409
00:23:22,402 --> 00:23:27,174
But the one he values above
all others is cleverness.
410
00:23:27,241 --> 00:23:32,914
You see, a good man engenders
himself to friends, family.
411
00:23:32,980 --> 00:23:37,450
A clever man,
a clever man survives.
412
00:23:37,518 --> 00:23:38,653
Quickly, now.
413
00:23:41,622 --> 00:23:45,092
Gods willing, we will, too.
414
00:23:56,337 --> 00:23:59,807
Keep your eyes open and
your wits about you, man.
415
00:23:59,874 --> 00:24:03,144
Odysseus, you know
no-ones actually entered
416
00:24:03,210 --> 00:24:06,948
the Cyclops cave and
lived to tell the tale.
417
00:24:07,014 --> 00:24:08,549
Not until today they don't.
418
00:24:12,954 --> 00:24:15,890
He will be busy
with his guests.
419
00:24:17,091 --> 00:24:19,327
This is our chance.
420
00:24:19,393 --> 00:24:21,595
We sneak in,
find the treasure,
421
00:24:21,662 --> 00:24:24,532
take what we can carry,
stay quiet,
422
00:24:24,598 --> 00:24:27,902
get out the same way.
423
00:24:27,969 --> 00:24:29,837
Stay with me.
424
00:24:29,904 --> 00:24:30,838
Stay low.
425
00:24:39,213 --> 00:24:40,748
But how do we find the treasure?
426
00:24:42,616 --> 00:24:44,952
Where does the cyclops
even keep its treasure?
427
00:24:46,921 --> 00:24:50,591
It smells like death.
428
00:24:50,658 --> 00:24:52,960
What better place to
hide your gold than in
429
00:24:53,027 --> 00:24:57,798
a place that smells so bad
that no one dares enter?
430
00:24:57,865 --> 00:25:00,601
Use your nose.
Follow its direction.
431
00:25:00,668 --> 00:25:05,639
Is... Is somebody here?
432
00:25:05,706 --> 00:25:09,143
I smell...
I smell men.
433
00:25:09,210 --> 00:25:12,680
I smell your fear.
434
00:25:12,747 --> 00:25:16,751
You can't...
You can't hide for long
435
00:25:16,817 --> 00:25:21,422
and Polyphemus,
the son of Poseidon,
436
00:25:21,489 --> 00:25:25,192
is still hungry.
437
00:25:27,428 --> 00:25:28,696
There.
438
00:25:28,763 --> 00:25:30,631
The smell of the
worst is that way.
439
00:25:30,698 --> 00:25:31,966
Move, move.
440
00:25:49,216 --> 00:25:50,284
Let's move.
441
00:26:03,097 --> 00:26:04,231
Quiet.
442
00:26:11,672 --> 00:26:13,040
Holy gold.
443
00:26:14,108 --> 00:26:15,544
Reward.
444
00:26:15,609 --> 00:26:17,244
Rewards for good men.
445
00:26:17,311 --> 00:26:19,080
Shh.
446
00:26:19,146 --> 00:26:20,281
Okay, quickly.
447
00:26:20,347 --> 00:26:21,882
Take everything you can.
448
00:26:21,949 --> 00:26:25,554
Actually, only what you can
carry, just like Odysseus said.
449
00:26:25,619 --> 00:26:27,556
Wait, where is Odysseus?
450
00:26:27,621 --> 00:26:30,291
Odysseus is gone.
451
00:26:30,357 --> 00:26:32,527
You've come for my gold!
452
00:26:32,593 --> 00:26:33,861
Shh!
453
00:26:33,928 --> 00:26:37,298
-Thieves!
-Okay, take cover!
454
00:26:37,364 --> 00:26:39,100
[stomping]
455
00:26:41,368 --> 00:26:43,938
Thieves, who are you?
456
00:26:46,207 --> 00:26:47,708
We're nobody!
457
00:26:49,944 --> 00:26:52,046
Grab the treasure! Run!
458
00:26:53,647 --> 00:26:55,282
[shouting]
459
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,121
[roars]
460
00:27:01,755 --> 00:27:03,724
Go! I'll keep him busy!
461
00:27:05,527 --> 00:27:08,629
We fight with you,
my king!
462
00:27:08,696 --> 00:27:09,830
[shouts]
463
00:27:13,434 --> 00:27:14,368
[grunts]
464
00:27:14,435 --> 00:27:15,636
Eurylochus!
465
00:27:16,505 --> 00:27:17,606
Odysseus!
466
00:27:17,671 --> 00:27:19,073
Polites, help! Ah!
467
00:27:21,675 --> 00:27:24,478
No! No!
468
00:27:24,546 --> 00:27:27,181
You will die, foul beast!
469
00:27:27,248 --> 00:27:28,916
For Eurylochus!
470
00:27:32,453 --> 00:27:34,188
Nobody?
471
00:27:34,255 --> 00:27:35,723
It calls for help.
472
00:27:36,824 --> 00:27:38,792
No one will come!
473
00:27:38,859 --> 00:27:41,362
It calls out for nobody.
474
00:27:41,428 --> 00:27:42,363
No one will come.
475
00:27:47,201 --> 00:27:50,738
May the gods bless
you, Eurylochus,
476
00:27:50,804 --> 00:27:52,973
and speed you
through the underworld
477
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,677
as quickly as
the gods will permit.
478
00:27:56,744 --> 00:27:59,413
Now, go.
Grab the treasure.
479
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,617
The son of Poseidon will
not lick his wounds long.
480
00:28:02,683 --> 00:28:04,051
Go!
481
00:28:04,118 --> 00:28:06,555
-Only take what we need.
-Only take what we need.
482
00:28:06,621 --> 00:28:08,489
Yes, enough for a boat.
483
00:28:08,557 --> 00:28:10,090
Provisions and no more.
484
00:28:10,157 --> 00:28:11,892
Okay, here's a bit of gold.
There's a bit of this...
485
00:28:11,959 --> 00:28:13,360
-Hurry!
-Yes, grab that.
486
00:28:13,427 --> 00:28:16,697
That's expensive, I like that.
Okay, and...
487
00:28:16,764 --> 00:28:18,766
Okay, let's go.
488
00:28:18,832 --> 00:28:21,302
-Go!
-I got it, I got it, I got it.
489
00:28:31,613 --> 00:28:32,913
Charie!
490
00:28:32,980 --> 00:28:36,016
And greetings to the
great house of Odysseus.
491
00:28:36,083 --> 00:28:38,452
Greetings to you, traveler.
492
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,288
Your voice seems so...
493
00:28:41,355 --> 00:28:42,890
familiar.
494
00:28:42,957 --> 00:28:45,226
But our house is
in no condition...
495
00:28:45,292 --> 00:28:48,262
Aye, aye.
Well met, my lord Telemachus.
496
00:28:48,329 --> 00:28:49,830
Telemachus.
497
00:28:51,432 --> 00:28:54,368
Apologies. Apologies.
498
00:28:54,435 --> 00:28:56,671
I am Antinous.
499
00:28:56,737 --> 00:29:00,675
And I come bearing gifts.
500
00:29:00,741 --> 00:29:03,944
The gift of my protection.
501
00:29:05,779 --> 00:29:07,781
A gracious home.
502
00:29:07,848 --> 00:29:09,917
A kingly estate, indeed.
503
00:29:17,124 --> 00:29:20,461
Ready our ship, men.
We leave port immediately.
504
00:29:20,528 --> 00:29:21,495
-My king.
-My king.
505
00:29:39,179 --> 00:29:41,549
Come to wish us farewell?
506
00:29:41,616 --> 00:29:42,751
I have.
507
00:29:42,816 --> 00:29:45,520
And I come bearing a gift.
508
00:29:45,587 --> 00:29:49,456
A bag of wind
to speed you along your journey.
509
00:29:49,524 --> 00:29:51,492
Perhaps if you'd
accepted my offer of help,
510
00:29:51,559 --> 00:29:54,596
and asked for stronger
and faster ships,
511
00:29:54,663 --> 00:29:56,196
you would not need it.
512
00:29:56,263 --> 00:29:59,433
Or you would already
be closer to home.
513
00:29:59,500 --> 00:30:00,568
My ship.
514
00:30:00,635 --> 00:30:03,203
I would not trust
a boat from the gods.
515
00:30:03,270 --> 00:30:08,409
Who knows if the previous owners
seek revenge and come find me?
516
00:30:08,475 --> 00:30:11,111
And what of the previous
owners of this treasure?
517
00:30:13,180 --> 00:30:14,882
My ship.
518
00:30:14,948 --> 00:30:16,183
My treasure.
519
00:30:16,250 --> 00:30:17,351
My men.
520
00:30:22,524 --> 00:30:23,924
What's left of them.
521
00:30:32,399 --> 00:30:33,901
By Olympus.
522
00:30:36,236 --> 00:30:38,138
One of the gods
speaking to Odysseus.
523
00:30:40,508 --> 00:30:41,609
Gifts.
524
00:30:41,676 --> 00:30:43,277
Gifts from the gods themselves.
525
00:30:46,146 --> 00:30:48,616
It's a generous gift.
526
00:30:48,683 --> 00:30:50,552
And I accept your bag of wind.
527
00:30:50,618 --> 00:30:54,589
But it is not one of your
three gifts until I use it.
528
00:30:54,656 --> 00:30:56,990
Why not use it now?
529
00:30:57,057 --> 00:30:58,660
I will use it.
530
00:30:58,727 --> 00:31:01,395
But I will use it when I must.
531
00:31:01,462 --> 00:31:04,566
The gifts of a god
come with a heavy price.
532
00:31:07,736 --> 00:31:10,938
Hurry home, son of Laertes.
533
00:31:11,004 --> 00:31:12,306
Honor me.
534
00:31:16,243 --> 00:31:17,177
Rewards.
535
00:31:24,451 --> 00:31:26,788
Odysseus!
536
00:31:26,855 --> 00:31:27,822
Was that...
537
00:31:27,921 --> 00:31:29,189
Athena herself.
538
00:31:29,256 --> 00:31:31,258
Come to wish us a farewell.
539
00:31:32,493 --> 00:31:33,762
Could she help us?
540
00:31:33,828 --> 00:31:36,096
Help us get there faster.
541
00:31:36,163 --> 00:31:37,431
I would give my life
many times over if it
542
00:31:37,498 --> 00:31:39,967
meant getting home
sooner to my loved ones.
543
00:31:40,033 --> 00:31:43,605
But the gods play
dangerous games with men.
544
00:31:43,671 --> 00:31:47,174
They could spirit us home
with just a mere thought.
545
00:31:47,241 --> 00:31:49,276
Or the breath from their lungs.
546
00:31:49,343 --> 00:31:52,714
Or they could smite us where we
stand and send us to our dooms.
547
00:31:52,781 --> 00:31:55,249
To them, it's all the same.
548
00:31:55,315 --> 00:31:57,184
That's why we
must tread lightly.
549
00:31:57,251 --> 00:32:00,555
Especially with the ones
who seem the most generous.
550
00:32:00,622 --> 00:32:02,055
And what of that?
551
00:32:02,122 --> 00:32:03,725
Is that a gift?
A reward?
552
00:32:03,792 --> 00:32:05,627
No, it's nothing.
553
00:32:05,693 --> 00:32:07,127
It's a good luck charm.
554
00:32:07,194 --> 00:32:09,430
Now, Polites, let's go home.
555
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:21,743
A guest in my home.
556
00:32:21,810 --> 00:32:24,579
Aye, but not just any guest.
557
00:32:24,646 --> 00:32:26,514
Antinous, my queen.
558
00:32:26,581 --> 00:32:28,482
At your service.
559
00:32:28,550 --> 00:32:30,150
Well met, Antinous.
560
00:32:30,217 --> 00:32:33,353
And to what do we
owe this generous visit?
561
00:32:33,420 --> 00:32:38,258
I come to pay my respects
to the great Odysseus himself.
562
00:32:38,325 --> 00:32:41,228
And to those he left behind.
563
00:32:41,295 --> 00:32:43,197
He will return. He...
564
00:32:43,263 --> 00:32:44,465
And we accept that respect
565
00:32:44,532 --> 00:32:46,433
in the spirit
that it was given.
566
00:32:48,937 --> 00:32:50,270
Thank you, Antinous.
567
00:32:52,105 --> 00:32:56,511
And I am here to confirm
that this home is safe.
568
00:32:56,578 --> 00:33:01,048
Safe from any who might think
to encroach upon its sanctity.
569
00:33:01,114 --> 00:33:04,051
And to offer my
allegiance and my duty to you
570
00:33:04,117 --> 00:33:06,721
and yours
and to this kingdom.
571
00:33:08,322 --> 00:33:12,059
And to offer my services
to you
572
00:33:12,125 --> 00:33:15,496
as husband and father...
573
00:33:18,666 --> 00:33:19,701
and king.
574
00:33:19,767 --> 00:33:21,001
There is no need for that.
575
00:33:21,068 --> 00:33:22,002
Or for you. My father--
576
00:33:22,069 --> 00:33:24,004
You'll forgive my son.
577
00:33:24,071 --> 00:33:27,040
He can be rather spirited.
578
00:33:31,646 --> 00:33:33,013
Much like his father.
579
00:33:34,248 --> 00:33:37,117
A generous proposal, indeed.
580
00:33:37,184 --> 00:33:40,320
But we have only just met.
581
00:33:40,387 --> 00:33:42,624
Perhaps we can get
better acquainted first.
582
00:33:44,592 --> 00:33:46,861
A fair suggestion.
583
00:33:46,928 --> 00:33:48,195
Right and good.
584
00:33:48,262 --> 00:33:51,866
But I have to admit,
my gracious queen.
585
00:33:51,933 --> 00:33:54,067
I am famished.
586
00:33:54,134 --> 00:33:59,574
And my lips are parched from
my long journey to your door.
587
00:33:59,641 --> 00:34:03,778
Yes. Refreshments might
do us all some good.
588
00:34:06,814 --> 00:34:07,782
Telemachus.
589
00:34:09,182 --> 00:34:10,585
I could use your help.
590
00:34:14,856 --> 00:34:15,823
Take your time.
591
00:34:17,090 --> 00:34:18,560
Take your time.
592
00:34:20,093 --> 00:34:21,563
I'm in no rush.
593
00:34:24,532 --> 00:34:26,199
Mother, what are you doing?
594
00:34:26,266 --> 00:34:28,168
My duty, my son.
595
00:34:28,235 --> 00:34:31,371
And I expect you to do the same.
596
00:34:31,438 --> 00:34:32,640
Antinous is our guest.
597
00:34:32,707 --> 00:34:34,809
Antinous is a
lecherous fool who...
598
00:34:38,713 --> 00:34:39,647
Mother, I--
599
00:34:39,714 --> 00:34:43,116
There will be
other fools, son.
600
00:34:43,183 --> 00:34:44,519
He is merely the first.
601
00:34:44,586 --> 00:34:47,021
It's just like I warned you.
602
00:34:47,087 --> 00:34:50,123
Every day Ithaca
goes without a king
603
00:34:50,190 --> 00:34:53,460
and our house without
our dearest love,
604
00:34:53,528 --> 00:34:55,530
we edge closer
and closer to chaos.
605
00:34:57,966 --> 00:35:00,602
While he is here, the others in
606
00:35:00,668 --> 00:35:03,203
waiting will keep
their distance.
607
00:35:05,873 --> 00:35:08,543
Concerned about their chances,
making assumptions...
608
00:35:10,678 --> 00:35:12,580
Peace is kept.
609
00:35:12,647 --> 00:35:14,214
But mother, I don't think...
610
00:35:14,281 --> 00:35:17,217
We keep--
We keep him distracted.
611
00:35:17,284 --> 00:35:19,252
And we buy your father time.
612
00:35:19,319 --> 00:35:21,656
And while we wait
and be polite and
613
00:35:21,723 --> 00:35:25,627
kowtow to that,
any peace we buy
614
00:35:25,693 --> 00:35:26,995
is not guaranteed.
615
00:35:27,061 --> 00:35:28,730
It is all we can do.
616
00:35:30,031 --> 00:35:31,164
For now.
617
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:40,908
Now, come on.
618
00:35:40,975 --> 00:35:43,310
We mustn't keep our
honored guest waiting.
619
00:35:46,413 --> 00:35:47,882
Steady there, Alkimos.
620
00:35:47,949 --> 00:35:50,752
With any luck, we'll be home
in a day and a half.
621
00:35:54,122 --> 00:35:55,288
My king.
622
00:35:59,493 --> 00:36:01,328
A storm's coming.
623
00:36:01,395 --> 00:36:02,262
Keep it steady, Alkimos.
624
00:36:02,329 --> 00:36:03,931
Put your back into it.
625
00:36:03,998 --> 00:36:06,333
Polites, grab those lines.
We're going to need them.
626
00:36:09,070 --> 00:36:11,304
Poseidon's bad breath.
627
00:36:11,371 --> 00:36:13,240
Poseidon's breath?
628
00:36:13,306 --> 00:36:15,308
Hot air and spit.
629
00:36:15,375 --> 00:36:17,812
That's Poseidon's bad breath.
630
00:36:17,879 --> 00:36:20,848
He must have learned of
the mark I left on his son.
631
00:36:20,915 --> 00:36:23,584
And his ocean is
pushing us off course.
632
00:36:23,651 --> 00:36:24,585
Look, there.
633
00:36:31,626 --> 00:36:34,461
The current.
It turns against us.
634
00:36:34,529 --> 00:36:37,131
Yes.
Adjust your heading.
635
00:36:37,197 --> 00:36:38,900
Into the wind.
636
00:36:38,966 --> 00:36:40,001
-The wind?
-Yes.
637
00:36:40,068 --> 00:36:41,736
My king...
638
00:36:41,803 --> 00:36:44,639
Poseidon's strength is strongest
in the water and the current.
639
00:36:45,973 --> 00:36:48,776
But if we catch the wind
we can use it as our guide.
640
00:36:48,843 --> 00:36:51,879
Polites, fortify the mast
and the sail.
641
00:36:54,115 --> 00:36:57,852
We cannot afford to be
any further from our goal.
642
00:36:57,919 --> 00:37:00,988
My king, the ship...
643
00:37:01,055 --> 00:37:02,322
She can't hold it.
644
00:37:02,389 --> 00:37:04,759
She will do what
we tell her to do.
645
00:37:04,826 --> 00:37:06,794
The wind going one way
and the current the other.
646
00:37:06,861 --> 00:37:08,663
I'm afraid we're
going to be torn apart.
647
00:37:08,730 --> 00:37:11,398
If we catch the wind,
tread lightly.
648
00:37:11,465 --> 00:37:14,635
We can crest the waves
instead of wrestling with them.
649
00:37:17,138 --> 00:37:18,706
Yes.
650
00:37:18,773 --> 00:37:21,542
We must tread lightly if we
want to keep pace with those.
651
00:37:23,177 --> 00:37:27,380
Spit all you want, Poseidon!
I will not be swayed.
652
00:37:27,447 --> 00:37:28,916
Not today, not ever.
653
00:37:30,151 --> 00:37:31,686
Odysseus...
654
00:37:34,387 --> 00:37:35,990
The waves!
655
00:37:36,057 --> 00:37:37,525
The waves, they're coming
right for us.
656
00:37:46,433 --> 00:37:48,870
We've got
to keep her on course!
657
00:37:48,936 --> 00:37:50,437
Try harder.
658
00:37:50,505 --> 00:37:54,208
Come on!
Come on, oh gods. Punish me!
659
00:37:54,274 --> 00:37:55,610
Punish me!
660
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,883
The sea,
she means to turn us over!
661
00:38:04,417 --> 00:38:06,220
-Odysseus.
-Hold tight.
662
00:38:06,286 --> 00:38:08,189
Hold tight, men.
We can steer her.
663
00:38:08,256 --> 00:38:10,091
We'll steer her through this.
664
00:38:10,158 --> 00:38:12,492
And through the underworld,
if need be and back.
665
00:38:16,264 --> 00:38:17,598
[grunting]
666
00:38:17,665 --> 00:38:19,167
We're not strong enough.
667
00:38:19,233 --> 00:38:21,035
We're not going to make it.
668
00:38:21,102 --> 00:38:23,303
The sea shall eat us all.
669
00:38:23,370 --> 00:38:25,573
The wind.
The wind's too strong.
670
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,340
We're going to lose the sail.
671
00:38:27,407 --> 00:38:30,645
No. No, it's not too strong.
It's the strength we need.
672
00:38:31,612 --> 00:38:33,581
Hand me those lines.
673
00:38:40,621 --> 00:38:43,858
Pull the oar.
Pull with all your might!
674
00:38:43,925 --> 00:38:44,926
Pull!
675
00:38:44,992 --> 00:38:46,627
If we lose the oar,
we're done for.
676
00:38:46,694 --> 00:38:49,864
If we do not act now, we die.
677
00:38:49,931 --> 00:38:50,998
Pull the oar!
678
00:38:55,368 --> 00:38:56,604
Pull it!
679
00:38:58,739 --> 00:39:01,809
That's it. That's it!
680
00:39:01,876 --> 00:39:03,845
The wind is the
strength we need.
681
00:39:09,517 --> 00:39:10,651
It's working.
682
00:39:18,860 --> 00:39:20,528
[laughing]
683
00:39:23,865 --> 00:39:26,234
Odysseus.
684
00:39:26,300 --> 00:39:27,268
Wind.
685
00:39:27,335 --> 00:39:29,369
Wind and water.
686
00:39:29,436 --> 00:39:31,606
They are nothing.
687
00:39:31,672 --> 00:39:34,407
They are nothing
when Ithaca waits for us.
688
00:39:39,614 --> 00:39:42,415
I'm coming home.
689
00:39:42,482 --> 00:39:44,051
I am coming home.
690
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,363
So then...
691
00:39:55,428 --> 00:39:56,931
Queen Penelope.
692
00:39:58,232 --> 00:40:00,234
Antinous.
693
00:40:00,301 --> 00:40:02,136
Do you have need of more food?
694
00:40:02,203 --> 00:40:03,838
Or drink perhaps?
695
00:40:03,905 --> 00:40:05,039
[belches]
696
00:40:06,674 --> 00:40:09,409
Both. Please.
697
00:40:11,512 --> 00:40:13,514
Your wine.
698
00:40:13,581 --> 00:40:15,683
It has a lovely bouquet.
699
00:40:20,087 --> 00:40:22,623
A noble vintage indeed.
700
00:40:22,690 --> 00:40:25,159
A captivating aroma.
701
00:40:25,226 --> 00:40:27,460
And sweet acidity.
702
00:40:27,528 --> 00:40:29,429
It is rich.
703
00:40:29,496 --> 00:40:31,065
And full bodied.
704
00:40:34,101 --> 00:40:35,603
Just like you.
705
00:40:37,371 --> 00:40:39,439
You do flatter me, Antinous.
706
00:40:41,309 --> 00:40:42,643
Maybe I do.
707
00:40:44,812 --> 00:40:46,514
But...
708
00:40:46,580 --> 00:40:48,115
I worry...
709
00:40:48,182 --> 00:40:52,353
The time for flattery
has passed.
710
00:40:52,420 --> 00:40:55,189
There will be other suitors
711
00:40:55,256 --> 00:40:57,959
lining up at your door.
712
00:40:58,025 --> 00:40:59,927
And soon...
713
00:40:59,994 --> 00:41:04,365
They will be much
less patient men than I.
714
00:41:04,432 --> 00:41:06,400
And after the suitors
715
00:41:06,466 --> 00:41:08,169
will come the looters.
716
00:41:08,235 --> 00:41:09,870
And then the troublemakers.
717
00:41:11,605 --> 00:41:13,941
And I will be unable
to protect you.
718
00:41:15,509 --> 00:41:16,711
Unless?
719
00:41:16,777 --> 00:41:19,113
Unless I am your husband.
720
00:41:20,548 --> 00:41:22,249
Unless I am king.
721
00:41:25,186 --> 00:41:29,857
I would hate to see anything
unfortunate befall you...
722
00:41:30,725 --> 00:41:34,395
Or your son in such
723
00:41:34,462 --> 00:41:36,831
rudderless times as these.
724
00:41:38,866 --> 00:41:41,969
It is time to make
your choice, Penelope.
725
00:41:45,406 --> 00:41:47,808
Before someone makes it for you.
726
00:42:11,899 --> 00:42:15,002
Alkimos, get some beeswax.
727
00:42:15,069 --> 00:42:17,738
Focus repairs on
the prow of the ship.
728
00:42:17,805 --> 00:42:20,207
That storm really took
a bite out of our hide.
729
00:42:20,274 --> 00:42:23,010
But we need the ship
to have her speed back.
730
00:42:23,077 --> 00:42:24,078
Yes, my king.
731
00:42:26,247 --> 00:42:30,651
The sea herself added another
day and a half to our journey
732
00:42:30,718 --> 00:42:33,587
that we do not have to spare.
733
00:42:33,654 --> 00:42:35,990
The woes of my
heart upon this sea.
734
00:42:38,125 --> 00:42:40,194
What storm do you
think was worse?
735
00:42:40,261 --> 00:42:42,663
The one we just sailed through,
or the one that is on your brow?
736
00:42:44,498 --> 00:42:46,300
The storm to come.
737
00:42:46,367 --> 00:42:47,802
The journey ahead.
738
00:42:47,868 --> 00:42:49,003
The journey home.
739
00:42:50,304 --> 00:42:51,939
Yes.
740
00:42:52,006 --> 00:42:55,142
Polites, is I must get home
no matter what the cost.
741
00:42:55,209 --> 00:42:56,277
I must.
742
00:42:56,343 --> 00:42:58,612
I wonder if the costs
already paid.
743
00:42:58,679 --> 00:43:00,081
No, Polites...
744
00:43:00,147 --> 00:43:02,983
The costs were paid
both here and back in Troy.
745
00:43:04,285 --> 00:43:06,287
With flesh and blood.
746
00:43:06,353 --> 00:43:08,055
And this.
This is our reward, is it?
747
00:43:08,122 --> 00:43:10,324
More hardship.
748
00:43:10,391 --> 00:43:12,059
More storms.
Rough seas.
749
00:43:12,126 --> 00:43:14,595
I cannot control the fates.
Nor the seas.
750
00:43:14,662 --> 00:43:15,796
You forget that
I've seen you
751
00:43:15,863 --> 00:43:17,364
perform miracles
before, Odysseus.
752
00:43:17,431 --> 00:43:19,633
Miracles even
the gods couldn't choose.
753
00:43:19,700 --> 00:43:21,702
If this was my kingdom, yes.
754
00:43:21,769 --> 00:43:23,604
But this is not my kingdom.
755
00:43:23,671 --> 00:43:25,439
Back home in my kingdom--
756
00:43:25,507 --> 00:43:26,707
By the gods of the sea!
757
00:43:31,712 --> 00:43:32,880
The sea has teeth!
758
00:43:39,787 --> 00:43:41,055
By the gods!
759
00:43:41,122 --> 00:43:42,690
Charybdis!
760
00:43:42,756 --> 00:43:45,793
It's another one of Poseidon's
weapons of vengeance.
761
00:43:45,860 --> 00:43:47,828
You didn't stop Poseidon.
762
00:43:47,895 --> 00:43:49,363
You just made him more angry.
763
00:43:53,934 --> 00:43:56,670
Alkimos, come steer.
764
00:43:56,737 --> 00:43:58,239
Steer us around
the outside of it.
765
00:43:58,305 --> 00:44:00,374
My king, the repairs
aren't finished yet.
766
00:44:00,441 --> 00:44:02,544
Without them, we won't
be able to make that turn.
767
00:44:02,611 --> 00:44:03,744
It will be almost impossible.
768
00:44:03,811 --> 00:44:06,380
I will make that turn.
I will.
769
00:44:21,996 --> 00:44:22,963
The sea!
770
00:44:23,030 --> 00:44:24,131
It has swallowed so many,
771
00:44:24,198 --> 00:44:25,966
but I had no idea
it had a mouth!
772
00:44:27,768 --> 00:44:29,770
My king, the winds!
773
00:44:29,837 --> 00:44:30,971
We're losing speed!
774
00:44:33,007 --> 00:44:34,775
Odysseus, what do we do?
775
00:44:34,842 --> 00:44:38,245
We will not let it
dissuade us off our course.
776
00:44:38,312 --> 00:44:39,680
Push, Alkimos!
777
00:44:39,747 --> 00:44:40,981
Push, Polites!
778
00:44:41,048 --> 00:44:42,349
Push!
779
00:44:42,416 --> 00:44:46,253
We will ride the wind
and the waves to freedom!
780
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,489
Aye, my king!
781
00:44:48,557 --> 00:44:49,658
Odysseus!
782
00:44:51,526 --> 00:44:52,459
Look!
783
00:44:55,696 --> 00:44:57,898
By the gods!
It follows!
784
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,036
Use the gift, son of Laertes!
The gift!
785
00:45:02,102 --> 00:45:03,672
The gift the goddess
gave to you!
786
00:45:03,737 --> 00:45:05,406
If it can help us, use it!
787
00:45:05,472 --> 00:45:06,575
Soon, loyal Polites!
788
00:45:06,641 --> 00:45:08,209
Use it now!
789
00:45:08,275 --> 00:45:11,378
I will not let
Poseidon's pet beat us.
790
00:45:11,445 --> 00:45:17,017
He will not have the glory of
knowing I took the easy way out.
791
00:45:17,084 --> 00:45:18,385
Move!
792
00:45:18,452 --> 00:45:19,453
He is right.
793
00:45:19,521 --> 00:45:21,021
You should use it.
794
00:45:21,088 --> 00:45:24,593
It is too early in the game
for you to die, Odysseus.
795
00:45:24,659 --> 00:45:27,061
Your pride will be your ruin.
796
00:45:28,663 --> 00:45:32,833
You cannot win
this without help.
797
00:45:32,900 --> 00:45:35,769
I can beat this beast on my own.
798
00:45:35,836 --> 00:45:38,105
I do not need
your help, goddess.
799
00:45:38,172 --> 00:45:40,341
I will get home in
spite of you...
800
00:45:40,407 --> 00:45:42,009
and all the gods!
801
00:45:42,076 --> 00:45:45,112
I will waste no
more breath on you.
802
00:45:45,179 --> 00:45:48,816
Not when it can be used
for another purpose.
803
00:45:48,882 --> 00:45:50,351
My king...
804
00:45:50,417 --> 00:45:52,319
Who the hell is it
you're talking to back there?
805
00:45:52,386 --> 00:45:54,955
I will beat this beast
without your help, goddess.
806
00:46:00,427 --> 00:46:02,429
The whirlpool!
807
00:46:02,496 --> 00:46:04,532
It's coming!
808
00:46:04,599 --> 00:46:06,000
Better hold on to something.
809
00:46:08,002 --> 00:46:09,303
Hold on, men.
810
00:46:11,740 --> 00:46:13,941
It's not just any whirlpool.
811
00:46:14,008 --> 00:46:16,010
It's a creature of Poseidon.
812
00:46:16,076 --> 00:46:19,413
And if it's hungry,
we must feed it.
813
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:23,618
We must feed it
until its belly is full.
814
00:46:23,685 --> 00:46:24,719
Until it chokes!
815
00:46:24,785 --> 00:46:26,120
Come on!
816
00:46:26,186 --> 00:46:28,389
What do you mean feed it?
Feed it with what?
817
00:46:28,455 --> 00:46:32,293
Quick!
Or we've already lost.
818
00:46:37,565 --> 00:46:40,769
Yes, what the storm
has taken from us.
819
00:46:40,834 --> 00:46:42,202
Grab the ropes.
820
00:46:42,269 --> 00:46:44,071
Anything, planks, barrels.
821
00:46:44,138 --> 00:46:46,073
Grab anything you can.
822
00:46:46,140 --> 00:46:48,309
Absolute madness.
You went mad, old man.
823
00:46:52,781 --> 00:46:55,916
Feed this beast.
Fill its belly.
824
00:46:55,983 --> 00:46:57,585
And if not...
825
00:46:57,652 --> 00:47:00,555
I will choke it myself
with my own body.
826
00:47:04,158 --> 00:47:06,628
Looks like the sea must eat.
827
00:47:06,695 --> 00:47:08,462
The fishing traps.
828
00:47:08,530 --> 00:47:10,164
Yes, the provisions. Now!
829
00:47:10,230 --> 00:47:12,567
The fishing traps?
What are we going to eat?
830
00:47:12,634 --> 00:47:14,602
We don't need them.
831
00:47:14,669 --> 00:47:16,403
We'll be home in two days.
832
00:47:16,470 --> 00:47:19,641
Or we'll be dead
trying to protect it.
833
00:47:19,708 --> 00:47:20,941
Choke on it!
834
00:47:21,008 --> 00:47:22,409
Choke on all of it!
835
00:47:25,513 --> 00:47:27,948
It's working!
It's working!
836
00:47:29,617 --> 00:47:32,286
Now what we need is distance.
Move!
837
00:47:36,990 --> 00:47:38,459
Hear me, gods!
838
00:47:38,526 --> 00:47:42,029
I am strong enough
to fight my own battles.
839
00:47:42,096 --> 00:47:44,865
Damn you! Damn you!
840
00:47:56,578 --> 00:47:58,646
Gods.
841
00:47:58,713 --> 00:48:01,048
Please, please help us.
842
00:48:02,483 --> 00:48:04,952
Father...
843
00:48:05,018 --> 00:48:07,321
Father, why have
you abandoned us?
844
00:48:12,594 --> 00:48:14,461
Odysseus is alive.
845
00:48:14,529 --> 00:48:16,698
Who... who are you?
846
00:48:16,765 --> 00:48:19,433
Save your breath, child.
847
00:48:19,500 --> 00:48:20,934
Do not fear me.
848
00:48:22,637 --> 00:48:26,073
How have you appeared like that?
849
00:48:26,140 --> 00:48:27,842
Is this some magician's trick?
850
00:48:27,908 --> 00:48:29,644
A phantasm?
851
00:48:29,711 --> 00:48:32,079
Please do not vex me, spirit!
852
00:48:32,146 --> 00:48:34,816
Athena hears your prayers.
853
00:48:34,883 --> 00:48:36,950
And you must hear my words.
854
00:48:38,553 --> 00:48:42,222
Your father has
not abandoned you.
855
00:48:42,289 --> 00:48:44,893
And neither have the gods.
856
00:48:44,958 --> 00:48:46,960
I am doing all that I can.
857
00:48:48,696 --> 00:48:51,932
Never before have I
seen a man fight for his home
858
00:48:51,999 --> 00:48:56,437
so boldly as
your father does in war.
859
00:48:56,504 --> 00:48:58,105
He honors me.
860
00:48:58,172 --> 00:49:02,309
And for that, I am
doing all that I can.
861
00:49:03,578 --> 00:49:08,516
But now, my child,
I must ask the same of you.
862
00:49:08,583 --> 00:49:11,418
You must protect
your father's house
863
00:49:11,485 --> 00:49:16,089
at all costs, from
within and from without.
864
00:49:16,156 --> 00:49:21,228
You must be prepared
to fight in war, yes.
865
00:49:21,295 --> 00:49:26,233
But you must also be careful,
watchful, and cunning.
866
00:49:28,168 --> 00:49:30,738
It is time for boys
to become men.
867
00:49:40,682 --> 00:49:42,750
I see Odysseus in you.
868
00:49:44,886 --> 00:49:46,654
Perhaps it will be enough.
869
00:49:50,692 --> 00:49:52,326
Yes.
870
00:49:52,392 --> 00:49:55,095
Perhaps it will be enough.
871
00:49:55,162 --> 00:49:58,165
Be vigilant, Telemachus.
872
00:49:58,232 --> 00:50:01,134
You will know it when
the moment comes.
873
00:50:04,137 --> 00:50:07,107
And then you
will strike...
874
00:50:07,174 --> 00:50:12,279
for your mother,
for your father, and for me.
875
00:50:16,784 --> 00:50:18,853
A toast, then.
876
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,255
A toast to our health,
877
00:50:21,321 --> 00:50:27,194
and in gratitude to
my most gracious hosts.
878
00:50:27,261 --> 00:50:29,329
Who, if I might
speak freely,
879
00:50:29,396 --> 00:50:34,034
deserve a king who would
protect them at home,
880
00:50:34,101 --> 00:50:36,470
and not seek glory elsewhere.
881
00:50:38,606 --> 00:50:41,576
And I most certainly
could be that king.
882
00:50:44,278 --> 00:50:48,382
A kingdom so fine
deserves a ruler
883
00:50:48,448 --> 00:50:51,084
who would never
think to abandon it.
884
00:50:51,151 --> 00:50:53,922
This is the king's house.
885
00:50:53,988 --> 00:50:55,188
Odysseus's house.
886
00:50:55,255 --> 00:50:56,558
My father's house.
887
00:50:57,759 --> 00:50:58,826
Ah.
888
00:50:58,893 --> 00:51:03,297
And where exactly is
your father, Telemachus?
889
00:51:03,363 --> 00:51:05,098
I don't see him.
890
00:51:05,165 --> 00:51:09,102
All I see instead
is a home deserted,
891
00:51:09,169 --> 00:51:13,675
a kingdom undefended,
vulnerable,
892
00:51:13,741 --> 00:51:17,311
and of the king
himself some stories.
893
00:51:17,377 --> 00:51:20,048
The poets are talking
out on the street.
894
00:51:20,113 --> 00:51:23,851
Some say he's lost at sea.
895
00:51:23,918 --> 00:51:28,656
Others, that he dallies
with Cersei herself.
896
00:51:28,723 --> 00:51:32,660
And I myself have heard
nothing but stories of
897
00:51:32,727 --> 00:51:35,597
monsters and treasure
898
00:51:35,663 --> 00:51:38,900
and violence
and such bloodshed.
899
00:51:38,967 --> 00:51:40,300
[laughing]
900
00:51:42,070 --> 00:51:46,507
Whatever stories you've heard,
you should know this:
901
00:51:46,574 --> 00:51:51,679
while my father is gone
and in his absence,
902
00:51:51,746 --> 00:51:56,249
I am bound to
defend what is his.
903
00:52:00,755 --> 00:52:04,124
Well, if it's a fight
you're looking for, boy.
904
00:52:04,191 --> 00:52:07,294
Honorable Antinous.
905
00:52:07,361 --> 00:52:10,665
Strong words do harm
to the digestion.
906
00:52:10,732 --> 00:52:14,669
And violence is an ill
guest in this house or any.
907
00:52:19,841 --> 00:52:22,043
Please.
908
00:52:22,110 --> 00:52:23,645
Of course, my lady.
909
00:52:25,647 --> 00:52:26,881
Of course.
910
00:52:26,948 --> 00:52:32,754
But I wouldn't need to
be a guest if my queen
911
00:52:32,820 --> 00:52:34,989
would take this suitor
to be her husband.
912
00:52:35,056 --> 00:52:37,324
I fear I cannot remarry.
913
00:52:40,695 --> 00:52:42,195
What?
914
00:52:42,262 --> 00:52:44,732
I cannot remarry
until I finish this cloak
915
00:52:44,799 --> 00:52:48,435
I've been
making for my son.
916
00:52:48,502 --> 00:52:51,471
It is only custom and proper.
917
00:52:51,539 --> 00:52:55,275
A parting gift for my
only flesh and blood.
918
00:52:57,244 --> 00:53:02,884
Before my duties as queen
to my new king
919
00:53:02,950 --> 00:53:07,187
fill my days and my hand.
920
00:53:10,058 --> 00:53:11,759
Indeed.
921
00:53:11,826 --> 00:53:15,897
Now far be it from me
to rush propriety.
922
00:53:15,963 --> 00:53:20,868
And I surely look forward
to viewing the finished product.
923
00:53:40,888 --> 00:53:46,027
Must the entire sea move
against Odysseus, Lord Poseidon?
924
00:53:46,094 --> 00:53:49,564
Behavior from such a god
seems small and petty.
925
00:53:49,630 --> 00:53:51,032
POSEIDON:
This isn't petty.
926
00:53:51,099 --> 00:53:52,867
This is revenge!
927
00:53:52,934 --> 00:53:56,704
For my son, for what
Odysseus did to my son.
928
00:53:56,771 --> 00:54:02,710
Your son, Lord Poseidon, was
harming and murdering innocents.
929
00:54:02,777 --> 00:54:06,514
Perhaps he will
think twice next time.
930
00:54:06,581 --> 00:54:09,684
POSEIDON: Enjoy your pet hero
while you can, Athena.
931
00:54:09,751 --> 00:54:10,651
With your gifts.
932
00:54:10,718 --> 00:54:12,252
Your meddling matters not.
933
00:54:12,319 --> 00:54:15,957
Odysseus will not
leave my ocean alive.
934
00:54:26,634 --> 00:54:28,903
Polites, how is she?
935
00:54:28,970 --> 00:54:30,437
Is she patched up yet?
936
00:54:30,505 --> 00:54:32,339
She's looking pretty good.
937
00:54:32,405 --> 00:54:34,709
Pretty good,
a little bit more...
938
00:54:34,776 --> 00:54:36,409
beeswax and
she'll be good to go.
939
00:54:36,476 --> 00:54:38,646
Good, good.
940
00:54:38,713 --> 00:54:41,249
Set a course for home, Alkimos.
941
00:54:41,314 --> 00:54:42,717
Yes, my king.
942
00:54:42,784 --> 00:54:46,721
For home, and for our rewards.
943
00:54:46,788 --> 00:54:48,790
Gold.
944
00:54:48,856 --> 00:54:52,927
Yes, yes, indeed, Polites.
Indeed.
945
00:54:52,994 --> 00:54:55,395
And just on that,
by the way, I've been meaning
946
00:54:55,462 --> 00:54:56,798
to tell you, meaning
to ask about...
947
00:54:56,864 --> 00:54:57,899
Odysseus!
948
00:55:01,468 --> 00:55:02,770
A monster!
949
00:55:02,837 --> 00:55:05,072
The Scylla!
Poseidon's lap dog!
950
00:55:05,139 --> 00:55:06,741
[screams]
951
00:55:06,808 --> 00:55:08,009
Alkimos, no!
952
00:55:12,146 --> 00:55:13,080
Odysseus!
953
00:55:19,452 --> 00:55:22,023
What do we do?
954
00:55:22,089 --> 00:55:23,624
We try to outrun it.
955
00:55:31,165 --> 00:55:33,734
Yes... Yes, faster!
956
00:55:33,801 --> 00:55:34,902
Faster!
957
00:55:42,310 --> 00:55:43,644
No!
958
00:55:47,515 --> 00:55:50,483
No! There's not enough wind
at our back!
959
00:55:51,451 --> 00:55:54,454
Not enough wind to fight!
960
00:55:54,522 --> 00:55:56,190
Only the monster at our heels!
961
00:55:56,257 --> 00:55:57,725
Damn my pride!
962
00:56:02,530 --> 00:56:05,566
Athena! Athena!
963
00:56:06,667 --> 00:56:08,069
I'm asking for help!
964
00:56:13,507 --> 00:56:15,109
Another gift, then?
965
00:56:15,176 --> 00:56:16,978
Goddess!
We need weapons!
966
00:56:18,846 --> 00:56:21,249
Ask, and it will be yours.
967
00:56:21,315 --> 00:56:24,719
Strategy. And sight.
968
00:56:24,785 --> 00:56:25,820
Sight.
969
00:56:25,887 --> 00:56:27,588
That will be my second gift.
970
00:56:28,956 --> 00:56:30,691
To see what is
right in front of you.
971
00:56:31,626 --> 00:56:33,327
What is right in front of me?
972
00:56:33,393 --> 00:56:35,529
What? What does that mean?
973
00:56:40,001 --> 00:56:41,903
My ship.
974
00:56:41,969 --> 00:56:46,173
You ask for a weapon,
and yet you sail one.
975
00:56:46,240 --> 00:56:47,575
Yes.
976
00:56:47,642 --> 00:56:50,410
Why didn't I see that before?
977
00:56:50,477 --> 00:56:51,779
The ship is a weapon.
978
00:56:55,116 --> 00:56:57,952
Sometimes you are so
worried about what is ahead,
979
00:56:58,019 --> 00:57:01,622
that you fail to see what
is directly in front of you.
980
00:57:01,689 --> 00:57:03,224
Take heed, Odysseus.
981
00:57:03,291 --> 00:57:06,527
You will defeat the
monsters that surround you.
982
00:57:17,038 --> 00:57:18,339
Odysseus?
983
00:57:18,406 --> 00:57:20,341
Odysseus, you're steering us...
984
00:57:20,408 --> 00:57:22,009
You steer us right towards it!
985
00:57:22,076 --> 00:57:23,711
Right towards the
jaws of the beast!
986
00:57:23,778 --> 00:57:26,580
Not the jaws!
It's belly!
987
00:57:28,149 --> 00:57:30,284
We'll run it through
with the prow!
988
00:57:30,351 --> 00:57:31,919
The ship will be our sword!
989
00:57:31,986 --> 00:57:34,088
Yes! Yes!
990
00:57:42,930 --> 00:57:44,966
Odysseus, it's
not going to work!
991
00:57:45,032 --> 00:57:48,269
We've got to turn her
around or we're done for!
992
00:57:48,336 --> 00:57:50,171
The current is too strong!
993
00:57:50,237 --> 00:57:51,572
It's not working!
994
00:57:54,375 --> 00:57:56,744
She's going to eat us alive!
995
00:57:56,811 --> 00:57:58,512
Hold fast, Polites!
996
00:57:58,579 --> 00:58:01,048
We need momentum!
997
00:58:01,115 --> 00:58:02,049
I'm trying!
998
00:58:12,259 --> 00:58:13,627
[shouting]
999
00:58:16,364 --> 00:58:17,898
[laughing]
1000
00:58:17,965 --> 00:58:20,500
That's the only
belly-full you'll get today!
1001
00:58:20,568 --> 00:58:21,936
Yes, Odysseus!
1002
00:58:27,308 --> 00:58:28,542
Yes!
1003
00:58:34,315 --> 00:58:35,716
Come on, Telemachus.
1004
00:58:35,783 --> 00:58:38,819
You must be ready to fight!
1005
00:58:40,488 --> 00:58:41,622
Or we'll lose everything.
1006
00:58:44,058 --> 00:58:46,794
Come home, father.
Quickly.
1007
00:58:57,405 --> 00:59:00,641
The cloak you make
for me is nearly finished.
1008
00:59:00,708 --> 00:59:04,445
And there are unwanted
guests in your house.
1009
00:59:04,513 --> 00:59:06,347
About the cloak...
1010
00:59:06,414 --> 00:59:07,715
Alas, my son.
1011
00:59:07,782 --> 00:59:10,985
I fear there is still
so much work to be done.
1012
00:59:11,052 --> 00:59:14,555
This cloak may take
many days to finish.
1013
00:59:15,956 --> 00:59:18,025
You're undoing what you've done.
1014
00:59:18,092 --> 00:59:19,193
If only I could.
1015
00:59:20,961 --> 00:59:23,197
Mother, you've
done nothing wrong.
1016
00:59:23,264 --> 00:59:24,565
It's just...
1017
00:59:24,632 --> 00:59:26,500
What?
1018
00:59:26,567 --> 00:59:28,669
Undoing the cloak every night.
1019
00:59:30,905 --> 00:59:32,706
Sometimes clever
is better than good.
1020
00:59:35,910 --> 00:59:38,446
I just pray it buys
us the time he needs.
1021
00:59:38,513 --> 00:59:41,015
And if it doesn't, then
I will be ready to fight.
1022
00:59:42,583 --> 00:59:45,052
No one is taking
this kingdom from us.
1023
00:59:46,555 --> 00:59:47,688
No one.
1024
00:59:49,023 --> 00:59:50,724
And I will be ready to fight.
1025
01:00:08,577 --> 01:00:09,710
Odysseus?
1026
01:00:11,513 --> 01:00:13,481
Odysseus.
1027
01:00:13,548 --> 01:00:15,049
Treacherous waters ahead.
1028
01:00:18,719 --> 01:00:20,988
That's treacherous
waters indeed.
1029
01:00:21,055 --> 01:00:22,957
It means we're getting
close to land now.
1030
01:00:23,023 --> 01:00:24,358
Huh.
1031
01:00:24,425 --> 01:00:27,194
That's the first good
thing I've heard all day.
1032
01:00:27,261 --> 01:00:29,029
We must stay clear
of those rocks.
1033
01:00:29,096 --> 01:00:31,198
And I have less
than a day before...
1034
01:00:31,265 --> 01:00:33,834
Before someone claims
what is rightfully yours.
1035
01:00:33,901 --> 01:00:36,605
I know, my king.
I know.
1036
01:00:36,670 --> 01:00:37,905
I am no king here.
1037
01:00:39,306 --> 01:00:40,975
There is only one
king in the ocean.
1038
01:00:41,041 --> 01:00:43,144
And I hold no favor
with him now.
1039
01:00:43,210 --> 01:00:44,546
[singing]
1040
01:00:44,613 --> 01:00:45,779
Odysseus...
1041
01:00:45,846 --> 01:00:48,315
Can you hear that?
1042
01:00:48,382 --> 01:00:50,217
-Music?
-No.
1043
01:00:50,284 --> 01:00:51,752
No, not the songs.
1044
01:00:51,819 --> 01:00:53,087
The sirens, no.
1045
01:00:58,425 --> 01:00:59,393
No.
1046
01:00:59,460 --> 01:01:01,362
Polites, no. No!
1047
01:01:01,428 --> 01:01:02,597
Protect yourself!
1048
01:01:02,663 --> 01:01:03,731
No!
1049
01:01:03,797 --> 01:01:05,499
-Sirens.
-Not the sirens!
1050
01:01:05,567 --> 01:01:06,667
They call to me.
1051
01:01:06,734 --> 01:01:08,802
No!
1052
01:01:08,869 --> 01:01:10,605
Cover your ears!
1053
01:01:10,671 --> 01:01:12,039
Protect yourself, Polites!
1054
01:01:16,578 --> 01:01:18,647
They speak to me.
1055
01:01:18,712 --> 01:01:20,080
Cover your ears!
Protect yourself!
1056
01:01:20,147 --> 01:01:21,348
They want me to get my reward.
1057
01:01:21,415 --> 01:01:23,484
[shouts]
1058
01:01:23,552 --> 01:01:24,718
Rewards for a good man.
1059
01:01:24,785 --> 01:01:27,688
No. No!
1060
01:01:27,755 --> 01:01:29,056
They speak to me.
1061
01:01:31,759 --> 01:01:35,262
I hear the song.
It's in my head!
1062
01:01:35,329 --> 01:01:36,263
They speak to me.
1063
01:01:41,368 --> 01:01:45,439
Telemachus is the
real problem here.
1064
01:01:45,507 --> 01:01:49,376
The woman?
I can handle.
1065
01:01:49,443 --> 01:01:50,878
But the boy?
1066
01:01:52,647 --> 01:01:57,985
Any loyal dog would
struggle obeying a new master.
1067
01:01:58,052 --> 01:01:59,920
And I wouldn't blame him.
1068
01:01:59,987 --> 01:02:03,724
But once this is all mine,
1069
01:02:03,791 --> 01:02:07,194
he will still be a
thorn in my side.
1070
01:02:07,261 --> 01:02:11,131
And his mother falling
into line won't help.
1071
01:02:11,198 --> 01:02:12,900
No.
1072
01:02:12,967 --> 01:02:16,837
He's going to require
a far stronger hand.
1073
01:02:16,904 --> 01:02:18,772
It's not a matter of if.
1074
01:02:18,839 --> 01:02:22,076
Simply put, the question
becomes do I take care
1075
01:02:22,142 --> 01:02:26,480
of Telemachus now, or do
I take care of him later?
1076
01:02:30,117 --> 01:02:32,687
It's like my father used to say.
1077
01:02:32,753 --> 01:02:37,157
Only a fool leaves
today's jobs until tomorrow.
1078
01:02:37,224 --> 01:02:42,796
Well, Antinous is no fool.
1079
01:02:45,866 --> 01:02:47,801
Neither will this loyal dog.
1080
01:02:53,874 --> 01:02:55,577
No.
1081
01:02:55,644 --> 01:02:58,112
This loyal dog will be
ready for you, Antinous.
1082
01:03:03,618 --> 01:03:05,319
[singing]
1083
01:03:06,554 --> 01:03:08,789
My reward...
1084
01:03:08,856 --> 01:03:09,990
Speak to me.
1085
01:03:11,392 --> 01:03:13,227
Odysseus!
I need to get my rewards!
1086
01:03:13,294 --> 01:03:14,995
What?
What are you doing?
1087
01:03:15,062 --> 01:03:17,398
My rewards, my gold!
They're speaking to me!
1088
01:03:17,464 --> 01:03:19,066
-Not when we're so close!
-Yes!
1089
01:03:19,133 --> 01:03:21,402
No! Just pass the rocks,
and we're nearly home!
1090
01:03:21,468 --> 01:03:22,671
They speak to me!
1091
01:03:22,737 --> 01:03:24,471
Polites!
Polites!
1092
01:03:24,539 --> 01:03:26,040
Wake up!
1093
01:03:26,106 --> 01:03:27,609
Take this beeswax!
1094
01:03:27,676 --> 01:03:28,610
Put it in your ears!
1095
01:03:28,677 --> 01:03:30,311
We must block their song!
1096
01:03:30,377 --> 01:03:33,247
We must block
the siren's song!
1097
01:03:33,314 --> 01:03:34,048
Block it!
1098
01:03:34,114 --> 01:03:36,150
We cannot hear them!
1099
01:03:36,216 --> 01:03:37,652
We've got to stay clear of them!
1100
01:03:37,719 --> 01:03:38,852
We've got to stay away!
1101
01:03:38,919 --> 01:03:40,154
Steady on the course...
1102
01:03:40,220 --> 01:03:42,590
until can't hear them!
1103
01:03:42,657 --> 01:03:43,891
Steer away...
1104
01:03:43,957 --> 01:03:45,125
Steer away.
1105
01:03:52,032 --> 01:03:54,201
That song...
That song...
1106
01:03:55,770 --> 01:03:57,137
Oh...
1107
01:03:57,204 --> 01:03:59,006
I want to hear that song.
1108
01:04:00,007 --> 01:04:01,475
Odysseus!
1109
01:04:04,945 --> 01:04:07,114
-That song...
-Odysseus!
1110
01:04:07,181 --> 01:04:09,517
Odysseus!
Don't listen to them!
1111
01:04:09,584 --> 01:04:10,752
Here!
1112
01:04:10,819 --> 01:04:12,654
No, the wax!
1113
01:04:12,721 --> 01:04:13,854
The wax!
1114
01:04:14,723 --> 01:04:16,290
The song...
1115
01:04:16,357 --> 01:04:20,160
Odysseus! We're leaving!
We're getting out of here!
1116
01:04:20,227 --> 01:04:21,995
I want to hear that song.
1117
01:04:23,832 --> 01:04:25,032
They know nothing but death!
1118
01:04:25,099 --> 01:04:26,668
-They want to help us.
-They do not.
1119
01:04:26,735 --> 01:04:29,036
-They do want to help us.
-They don't want to help us.
1120
01:04:29,103 --> 01:04:30,871
-Polites...
-Think of your family!
1121
01:04:30,938 --> 01:04:32,973
-Polites, they want to help us.
-No, no, no!
1122
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:34,141
They will not!
1123
01:04:34,208 --> 01:04:35,510
Polites, they know
how to get home.
1124
01:04:35,577 --> 01:04:36,611
We've come this far!
1125
01:04:36,678 --> 01:04:38,178
-Polites...
-We've come this far!
1126
01:04:38,245 --> 01:04:39,480
-They only know death!
-They have wisdom!
1127
01:04:39,547 --> 01:04:40,548
They only know death!
1128
01:04:41,882 --> 01:04:42,851
Their song is wisdom.
1129
01:04:42,916 --> 01:04:44,918
Hey! Snap out of it!
1130
01:04:44,985 --> 01:04:46,153
They want to help us.
1131
01:04:46,220 --> 01:04:48,455
They know what
lies beneath the waves.
1132
01:04:48,523 --> 01:04:49,557
I must hear this song.
1133
01:04:51,058 --> 01:04:52,926
Song of the sirens.
1134
01:04:52,993 --> 01:04:55,229
What a beautiful song.
1135
01:04:55,295 --> 01:04:56,430
Huh.
1136
01:05:00,735 --> 01:05:02,369
They want to help us get home.
1137
01:05:04,572 --> 01:05:06,541
They do.
1138
01:05:06,608 --> 01:05:07,542
They have knowledge.
1139
01:05:07,609 --> 01:05:10,678
Polites, they have wisdom.
1140
01:05:11,979 --> 01:05:13,414
-Odysseus...
-Their beautiful song.
1141
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:14,549
I must hear it.
1142
01:05:14,616 --> 01:05:17,084
Odysseus, they know
nothing but death.
1143
01:05:19,086 --> 01:05:20,354
They have knowledge.
1144
01:05:20,421 --> 01:05:22,089
They know nothing but death.
1145
01:05:22,156 --> 01:05:23,457
Think of home.
1146
01:05:26,460 --> 01:05:28,128
The song.
1147
01:05:28,195 --> 01:05:30,765
No, Polites, we
must steer towards them.
1148
01:05:30,832 --> 01:05:31,800
Polites, they want to help us!
1149
01:05:31,866 --> 01:05:33,033
No, they don't!
1150
01:05:33,100 --> 01:05:35,537
Yes!
Their song!
1151
01:05:38,305 --> 01:05:39,574
I want to hear their song...
1152
01:05:46,180 --> 01:05:49,383
Please, Polites.
They sing for me!
1153
01:05:49,450 --> 01:05:50,785
Odysseus!
1154
01:05:50,852 --> 01:05:53,253
Odysseus!
Hear me, Odysseus!
1155
01:05:55,155 --> 01:05:58,760
You must not listen
to them, Odysseus!
1156
01:05:58,827 --> 01:06:00,494
I can only hear their song.
1157
01:06:00,562 --> 01:06:01,896
Odysseus!
1158
01:06:01,962 --> 01:06:03,464
No!
1159
01:06:03,531 --> 01:06:05,332
You can't hear me
over their song!
1160
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:07,735
Odysseus!
1161
01:06:07,802 --> 01:06:11,104
You will die if you don't
make it past these rocks!
1162
01:06:11,171 --> 01:06:15,976
And if you cannot hear me,
I cannot help you!
1163
01:06:16,043 --> 01:06:17,579
I cannot help you.
1164
01:06:19,848 --> 01:06:21,081
Odysseus!
1165
01:06:21,148 --> 01:06:22,617
Odysseus, no!
1166
01:06:26,353 --> 01:06:29,389
Polites, we must
steer away from the rocks.
1167
01:06:29,456 --> 01:06:31,258
Please steer away from them.
1168
01:06:35,362 --> 01:06:37,231
We must get to Ithaca.
1169
01:06:37,297 --> 01:06:38,800
They will give us
a hero's welcome.
1170
01:06:38,867 --> 01:06:40,467
A king's welcome.
1171
01:06:44,171 --> 01:06:45,907
Damn the sirens.
1172
01:06:45,974 --> 01:06:48,275
And damn these seas, too.
1173
01:06:48,342 --> 01:06:50,512
Polites, please forgive me.
1174
01:06:50,578 --> 01:06:53,715
You have saved
both of our lives.
1175
01:06:53,781 --> 01:06:55,984
It was an honor, my king.
1176
01:06:56,049 --> 01:06:58,252
But now our course is set.
1177
01:06:58,318 --> 01:07:00,187
You are almost home.
1178
01:07:00,254 --> 01:07:02,122
And that is your reward.
1179
01:07:03,390 --> 01:07:07,494
But mind, my king,
my reward is treasure.
1180
01:07:07,562 --> 01:07:10,030
You must listen to me.
You don't understand.
1181
01:07:10,097 --> 01:07:12,299
No, no, no, I do understand.
1182
01:07:12,366 --> 01:07:14,636
You have a gift from the gods.
1183
01:07:14,702 --> 01:07:16,403
And Ithaca, now
that is your reward.
1184
01:07:16,470 --> 01:07:17,705
Now I am in pursuit of mine.
1185
01:07:17,772 --> 01:07:20,207
You said, your words.
1186
01:07:20,274 --> 01:07:21,643
What do you mean?
1187
01:07:21,709 --> 01:07:23,410
Gifts for good men.
Did you not?
1188
01:07:23,477 --> 01:07:25,078
Please, you do not understand.
1189
01:07:25,145 --> 01:07:28,382
No, I do understand. It's you
that doesn't understand.
1190
01:07:28,448 --> 01:07:30,652
I saw Athena
herself give it to you.
1191
01:07:30,718 --> 01:07:32,286
-I saw her.
-No, no.
1192
01:07:32,352 --> 01:07:33,821
A gift from the gods. Reward.
1193
01:07:33,888 --> 01:07:35,222
No, it's not a gift.
1194
01:07:35,289 --> 01:07:37,124
-Oh, it's not a gift?
-No, it's not.
1195
01:07:37,190 --> 01:07:38,392
I see it.
1196
01:07:38,458 --> 01:07:40,795
I see, clever Polites,
loyal Polites,
1197
01:07:40,862 --> 01:07:42,296
worthy of scars Polites,
1198
01:07:42,362 --> 01:07:45,265
but not worthy of a gift
from the gods, is that it?
1199
01:07:45,332 --> 01:07:47,702
Please listen to me.
Please listen to me.
1200
01:07:47,769 --> 01:07:49,303
Exactly like Troy, is it?
1201
01:07:49,369 --> 01:07:51,606
Exactly like Troy.
1202
01:07:51,673 --> 01:07:53,140
I am going to take
what is owed to me.
1203
01:07:53,206 --> 01:07:54,542
For good men.
1204
01:07:54,609 --> 01:07:58,345
No, no, do not take that.
Do not take that!
1205
01:07:58,412 --> 01:08:00,113
Bring it back.
You do not understand.
1206
01:08:00,180 --> 01:08:02,016
-No, stop.
-I do understand.
1207
01:08:02,082 --> 01:08:04,451
Stop!
Polites, please, please.
1208
01:08:04,519 --> 01:08:08,188
My King, I am only opening this
1209
01:08:08,255 --> 01:08:09,591
because this is
what is owed to me.
1210
01:08:09,657 --> 01:08:11,091
-No.
-Yes.
1211
01:08:16,064 --> 01:08:17,532
[wind howling]
1212
01:08:22,469 --> 01:08:23,605
Athena.
1213
01:08:25,039 --> 01:08:26,574
Athena, please.
1214
01:08:26,641 --> 01:08:29,010
POSEIDON: Athena will not
save you, Odysseus.
1215
01:08:29,077 --> 01:08:31,378
We will finish this war
you started.
1216
01:08:31,445 --> 01:08:35,115
And it will end with your blood
filling my oceans.
1217
01:08:50,263 --> 01:08:51,666
[coughing]
1218
01:08:56,804 --> 01:09:00,908
Perhaps the fates are more
generous than we thought.
1219
01:09:00,975 --> 01:09:02,376
Athena.
1220
01:09:02,442 --> 01:09:05,145
Even the winds had mercy
on you and brought you home.
1221
01:09:07,214 --> 01:09:09,182
Reward. Reward.
1222
01:09:11,919 --> 01:09:17,424
Great Odysseus finally returned
to the shores of Ithaca.
1223
01:09:18,693 --> 01:09:19,927
Ithaca.
1224
01:09:19,994 --> 01:09:24,164
Telemachus...
Penelope!
1225
01:09:24,231 --> 01:09:27,135
The great Odysseus...
1226
01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:29,604
At the end of his ropes.
1227
01:09:31,739 --> 01:09:33,407
No.
1228
01:09:33,473 --> 01:09:34,776
Not yet.
Not quite.
1229
01:09:36,276 --> 01:09:38,311
Look.
1230
01:09:38,378 --> 01:09:39,847
There, Your Majesty.
1231
01:09:46,054 --> 01:09:48,723
Your people are in panic.
1232
01:09:48,790 --> 01:09:51,626
Perhaps there is no more
glory left for you here.
1233
01:09:53,861 --> 01:09:57,632
Penelope and Telemachus
are doing all they can.
1234
01:09:57,699 --> 01:10:00,835
But your city is
being taken by force.
1235
01:10:00,902 --> 01:10:03,270
My world burns.
1236
01:10:03,336 --> 01:10:06,741
And the gods abandon me
with my hands tied.
1237
01:10:06,808 --> 01:10:09,342
I can offer no more aid,
and you know this.
1238
01:10:13,413 --> 01:10:16,216
By breathing wind
into your sails,
1239
01:10:16,283 --> 01:10:19,687
strategizing your
boat as a weapon,
1240
01:10:19,754 --> 01:10:22,422
and giving you a bag of wind,
1241
01:10:22,489 --> 01:10:26,561
your three gifts have been used.
1242
01:10:26,627 --> 01:10:30,363
But great goddess,
I never opened the bag of winds.
1243
01:10:30,430 --> 01:10:34,035
It was Polites.
Polites opened the bag of winds.
1244
01:10:34,102 --> 01:10:35,937
Not I.
1245
01:10:36,003 --> 01:10:37,404
A wrinkle.
1246
01:10:38,940 --> 01:10:43,310
Perhaps it is enough
for the gods to allow me
1247
01:10:43,376 --> 01:10:47,515
to aid you one last
time on your journey.
1248
01:10:47,582 --> 01:10:51,251
I have one boon.
One gift left.
1249
01:10:51,318 --> 01:10:53,521
I just pray I don't
have to use it.
1250
01:10:53,588 --> 01:10:57,859
Yes, but you cannot
just go home, Odysseus.
1251
01:10:57,925 --> 01:11:00,393
Not anymore.
1252
01:11:00,460 --> 01:11:03,765
The people of Ithaca,
they are a mob.
1253
01:11:03,831 --> 01:11:06,500
They run through the
streets hungry for blood.
1254
01:11:06,567 --> 01:11:08,536
They would have yours.
1255
01:11:08,603 --> 01:11:10,705
You will not make it past them.
1256
01:11:10,772 --> 01:11:13,608
You will not even make it
to your front door.
1257
01:11:13,674 --> 01:11:17,979
And if you did, the suitors
would be waiting for you.
1258
01:11:19,947 --> 01:11:21,983
In disguise.
1259
01:11:22,049 --> 01:11:24,585
In disguise to hide
my face in my own kingdom.
1260
01:11:24,652 --> 01:11:26,453
I shall dress as a
wandering beggar
1261
01:11:26,521 --> 01:11:28,156
and learn how things stand.
1262
01:11:28,222 --> 01:11:31,192
What will you do,
Great Odysseus?
1263
01:11:31,259 --> 01:11:32,794
I will defend my home.
1264
01:11:32,860 --> 01:11:34,028
My family.
1265
01:11:34,095 --> 01:11:36,429
I must stop this
before it's too late.
1266
01:11:36,496 --> 01:11:38,431
Or even if it's as you say,
1267
01:11:38,498 --> 01:11:41,803
there's no glory
left for either of us.
1268
01:11:43,470 --> 01:11:46,007
Finish the game, Odysseus.
1269
01:11:46,073 --> 01:11:47,909
And finish it well.
1270
01:11:47,975 --> 01:11:52,280
For not all gods
have abandoned you.
1271
01:11:52,345 --> 01:11:54,982
And Poseidon still
thirsts for revenge.
1272
01:12:04,258 --> 01:12:06,326
We must do something, Mother.
1273
01:12:06,393 --> 01:12:08,062
No.
1274
01:12:08,129 --> 01:12:09,396
I will not let them kill you.
1275
01:12:09,462 --> 01:12:10,998
You must get
control of the city.
1276
01:12:11,065 --> 01:12:14,902
We will wait until
your father returns.
1277
01:12:14,969 --> 01:12:16,204
Rioting!
1278
01:12:16,270 --> 01:12:17,972
Looting and violence,
1279
01:12:18,039 --> 01:12:21,042
and you want to wait for
Odysseus to return?
1280
01:12:22,810 --> 01:12:25,378
Do you still think
you'll have a kingdom by then?
1281
01:12:29,416 --> 01:12:33,120
Without a king,
my queen,
1282
01:12:33,187 --> 01:12:38,458
the city succumbs to
its more primal urges.
1283
01:12:38,526 --> 01:12:42,063
I will take your hand
and the crown with it.
1284
01:12:42,129 --> 01:12:47,400
And all will be well
when King Antinous reigns.
1285
01:12:48,501 --> 01:12:50,805
It is time, my lord.
1286
01:12:50,872 --> 01:12:54,374
Time enough indeed
for the final challenge.
1287
01:12:57,410 --> 01:13:01,082
No more games, loyal widow.
1288
01:13:01,148 --> 01:13:03,383
Being king is no game.
1289
01:13:03,450 --> 01:13:04,785
And only the worthy
wear our crown
1290
01:13:04,852 --> 01:13:06,821
and complete this final task.
1291
01:13:09,156 --> 01:13:13,460
Only our king can fire an
arrow through those axe blades.
1292
01:13:13,527 --> 01:13:16,496
And only our king has done it.
1293
01:13:16,564 --> 01:13:20,701
So are you our king, Antinous?
1294
01:13:20,768 --> 01:13:26,473
Or does Odysseus, even in
his absence, carry the crown?
1295
01:13:26,540 --> 01:13:29,110
You're not worth of such
a great feat!
1296
01:13:29,176 --> 01:13:31,012
I challenge you for
my Father's kingdom!
1297
01:13:31,078 --> 01:13:32,713
Snake in the grass!
1298
01:13:35,082 --> 01:13:36,918
Stay in your place, pup!
1299
01:13:36,984 --> 01:13:38,753
Telemachus!
1300
01:13:38,819 --> 01:13:43,024
But if I must, I will
teach you to keep your place!
1301
01:13:44,558 --> 01:13:47,094
The crown will never be yours!
1302
01:13:47,161 --> 01:13:49,397
[grunts]
1303
01:13:49,462 --> 01:13:51,098
Snake in the grass!
1304
01:13:57,505 --> 01:14:00,041
Interloper! Villain!
1305
01:14:00,107 --> 01:14:01,776
Yes, I am.
1306
01:14:03,177 --> 01:14:06,047
And much worse.
1307
01:14:06,113 --> 01:14:07,648
Begging your apologies.
1308
01:14:07,715 --> 01:14:11,052
I was merely returning
the young man his sword.
1309
01:14:14,454 --> 01:14:16,190
I...
1310
01:14:16,257 --> 01:14:20,161
I would like to ask the young
lady if I may compete.
1311
01:14:20,227 --> 01:14:21,228
Another suitor?
1312
01:14:24,131 --> 01:14:26,033
With the queen's
permission, of course.
1313
01:14:32,306 --> 01:14:34,275
We need no more suitors!
1314
01:14:34,342 --> 01:14:35,543
I will--
1315
01:14:35,609 --> 01:14:36,811
The courtesy of
my husband's house
1316
01:14:36,877 --> 01:14:38,646
is much diminished
as of late.
1317
01:14:42,450 --> 01:14:44,185
You may compete.
1318
01:14:44,251 --> 01:14:47,254
And I pray you might
restore what has been lost.
1319
01:14:47,321 --> 01:14:51,592
Only Odysseus can put an
arrow through those axe blades.
1320
01:14:51,659 --> 01:14:55,963
So, let's see how good you are.
1321
01:14:56,030 --> 01:14:56,964
Good.
1322
01:14:59,467 --> 01:15:01,902
Clever.
1323
01:15:01,969 --> 01:15:03,671
Clever is better than good.
1324
01:15:10,111 --> 01:15:11,612
[laughing]
1325
01:15:15,182 --> 01:15:17,018
It's a farce!
1326
01:15:17,084 --> 01:15:20,054
He can't even keep the
arrow straight, my queen.
1327
01:15:21,322 --> 01:15:24,792
Best keep your eye
on the target, old man.
1328
01:15:26,460 --> 01:15:30,231
So, only Odysseus
himself can make this shot.
1329
01:15:48,149 --> 01:15:50,551
And I must be Odysseus.
1330
01:15:50,618 --> 01:15:52,720
But Odysseus is dead!
1331
01:15:52,787 --> 01:15:55,022
-No!
-Father!
1332
01:15:57,258 --> 01:16:01,328
You have overstayed your
welcome in my house too long!
1333
01:16:01,395 --> 01:16:02,663
Antinous!
1334
01:16:04,465 --> 01:16:06,300
You can leave on
your own accord.
1335
01:16:06,367 --> 01:16:07,701
Never!
1336
01:16:07,768 --> 01:16:10,738
This kingdom is mine!
1337
01:16:10,805 --> 01:16:12,840
Or you can go another way!
1338
01:16:19,413 --> 01:16:23,417
Death is too good for you.
1339
01:16:23,484 --> 01:16:24,819
Watch your tongue!
1340
01:16:24,885 --> 01:16:27,588
Or we will take it from you.
1341
01:16:27,655 --> 01:16:29,023
No!
1342
01:16:35,930 --> 01:16:37,064
My gods!
1343
01:16:38,599 --> 01:16:39,767
Help me!
1344
01:16:39,834 --> 01:16:41,969
Have mercy on me!
1345
01:16:58,319 --> 01:16:59,820
Here I am, monster!
1346
01:17:04,391 --> 01:17:07,328
I'll take everything
from you, Odysseus!
1347
01:17:07,394 --> 01:17:08,696
I will drown all of Ithaca,
1348
01:17:08,762 --> 01:17:11,365
drown your house,
and your family!
1349
01:17:11,432 --> 01:17:12,700
No! No!
1350
01:17:12,766 --> 01:17:14,435
Here I am! Here I am!
1351
01:17:14,502 --> 01:17:16,203
I'm the one you want!
1352
01:17:16,270 --> 01:17:18,239
Take me! Take me!
1353
01:17:20,007 --> 01:17:21,075
Father!
1354
01:17:22,511 --> 01:17:23,744
Father!
1355
01:17:35,689 --> 01:17:38,292
[whispering]
1356
01:17:46,200 --> 01:17:47,201
Odysseus?
1357
01:17:48,802 --> 01:17:49,937
Odysseus!
1358
01:17:51,438 --> 01:17:52,740
No!
1359
01:17:52,806 --> 01:17:54,842
What did he say to you, son?
1360
01:17:54,909 --> 01:17:56,677
Tell me!
Tell me quickly!
1361
01:17:56,744 --> 01:17:58,345
What were his
final words to you?
1362
01:17:58,412 --> 01:18:00,147
I don't understand!
1363
01:18:01,482 --> 01:18:02,416
Telemachus...
1364
01:18:02,483 --> 01:18:05,452
What were his final words?
1365
01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:08,889
He said, third gift.
1366
01:18:10,291 --> 01:18:11,225
Third gift?
1367
01:18:13,260 --> 01:18:14,195
And then...
1368
01:18:15,530 --> 01:18:16,864
And then nothing more.
1369
01:18:21,869 --> 01:18:23,237
So clever.
1370
01:18:24,539 --> 01:18:26,473
The king of Ithaca.
1371
01:18:26,541 --> 01:18:28,342
Clever to his last.
1372
01:18:29,944 --> 01:18:31,111
Oh, goddess Athena.
1373
01:18:32,647 --> 01:18:34,014
My love.
1374
01:18:34,081 --> 01:18:38,852
You have suffered
enough these past many days.
1375
01:18:38,919 --> 01:18:41,422
But the game's over.
1376
01:18:41,488 --> 01:18:43,757
Odysseus...
1377
01:18:43,824 --> 01:18:44,959
Wins.
1378
01:18:45,025 --> 01:18:46,860
What do you mean?
1379
01:18:46,927 --> 01:18:48,329
He didn't win.
1380
01:18:48,395 --> 01:18:50,164
He's dead.
He's gone!
1381
01:18:50,231 --> 01:18:54,034
Do not be troubled,
son of Odysseus.
1382
01:18:54,101 --> 01:18:58,038
Once again, your
father's glory honors me.
1383
01:18:59,940 --> 01:19:02,209
With his final breath,
1384
01:19:02,276 --> 01:19:06,180
your husband requested his
last wish.
1385
01:19:08,882 --> 01:19:10,784
May I grant it?
1386
01:19:10,851 --> 01:19:11,986
Yes.
1387
01:19:15,322 --> 01:19:16,257
Yes, please.
1388
01:19:19,426 --> 01:19:23,364
Clever is indeed
greater than good.
1389
01:19:37,746 --> 01:19:39,446
-Father!
-He's alive!
1390
01:19:41,750 --> 01:19:43,317
Goddess Athena, thank you.
1391
01:19:43,384 --> 01:19:46,186
It was your husband
who outsmarted death.
1392
01:19:47,855 --> 01:19:50,891
I am glad to see
you all reunited.
1393
01:19:59,701 --> 01:20:01,536
My son...
1394
01:20:01,603 --> 01:20:02,537
Oh, my son.
1395
01:20:04,773 --> 01:20:05,906
I was gone.
1396
01:20:07,341 --> 01:20:08,309
The goddess.
1397
01:20:11,145 --> 01:20:15,517
Athena has granted me
my third wish.
1398
01:20:17,284 --> 01:20:20,354
My father more clever
than the gods themselves.
1399
01:20:27,729 --> 01:20:30,297
The river Styx can wait...
1400
01:20:33,500 --> 01:20:35,035
But a moment longer.
1401
01:20:35,936 --> 01:20:37,071
Oh...
1402
01:20:38,573 --> 01:20:40,040
You took your time, old man.
1403
01:20:41,710 --> 01:20:43,377
The wind.
1404
01:20:43,444 --> 01:20:44,546
The wind was against me.
1405
01:20:46,748 --> 01:20:50,117
I have heard such stories.
1406
01:20:53,722 --> 01:20:56,825
You seem as if from a dream.
1407
01:20:56,890 --> 01:20:58,827
Are you really here?
1408
01:20:58,892 --> 01:21:01,862
Or are the gods
still playing games.
1409
01:21:04,098 --> 01:21:09,637
I have not the strength
for their sport any longer.
1410
01:21:09,704 --> 01:21:10,839
Nor do I.
1411
01:21:10,904 --> 01:21:12,473
Nor do I, my queen.
1412
01:21:15,543 --> 01:21:19,413
King of Ithaca, why have
you returned to this place?
1413
01:21:25,152 --> 01:21:28,790
I have but one goal.
1414
01:21:28,857 --> 01:21:29,990
One destination.
1415
01:21:33,127 --> 01:21:37,297
Not Ithaca, not this house,
1416
01:21:37,364 --> 01:21:39,333
not the crown was my goal.
1417
01:21:42,537 --> 01:21:46,206
I care not for the seas
or the skies.
1418
01:21:48,142 --> 01:21:51,613
I sought no monsters, nor gods.
1419
01:21:54,549 --> 01:21:56,216
I only sought you.
1420
01:21:58,553 --> 01:21:59,621
Only you.
1421
01:21:59,687 --> 01:22:05,192
You... You were the
safe harbor I fought
1422
01:22:05,259 --> 01:22:09,029
so desperately to get home to.
1423
01:22:17,971 --> 01:22:19,973
And home you will stay.
1424
01:22:21,108 --> 01:22:22,242
Yes, I will.
1425
01:22:26,648 --> 01:22:27,615
Home.
1426
01:22:29,918 --> 01:22:32,252
The only journey
worth the fight.
1427
01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:40,595
Home.
1428
01:22:40,662 --> 01:22:42,162
Home at last.
