Original subtitles

Many stories have been recorded of the

ancient times.

Behind even the greatest myths, there is

a history now long forgotten.

In the age of gods and spirits,

the known world was ruled by a dark

empire

from their island palace of Minos.

They worshipped the bull,

the most powerful of all gods.

The tablets recount that as the empire

grew, their hedonism and greed knew no

bounds.

The people longed for more than stone

deities. They demanded a living god.

In response, sickened minds indulged in

the forbidden arts and decreed the queen

should offer herself to the bull to

create the perfect being.

A unification of god and man.

For 13 months, the creature grew inside

her. Pure,

precious.

Every care bestowed.

To ensure safe passage into our world,

it was cut from the queen's belly.

Suckled on the blood of its own mother,

the newborn was presented to the people.

The palace hailed their creation and the

power of the empire strengthened.

But as the beast grew, so did its

hunger.

In revenge for the murder of a royal

prince, a grave tax was placed upon my

village, Thena, in the northern

territory.

Every 3 years, eight youths would be

taken to the palace by royal soldiers,

lowered into the labyrinth, and

sacrificed to the beast.

The empire of the bull seemed

invincible.

As the fifth sacrifice drew near.

Leper.

My father says he never comes back with

an omen.

Means they're coming.

We saw her in the forest again.

The old woman.

Dannon thinks she's a sign that the horn

soldiers will come.

He also says that the moon slid across

the ocean and fell off the earth.

I miss her father.

Why did Thena have to be taken?

How many of us must die for this one

prince?

There are certain things that you cannot

understand yet, Theo. Then I want to

learn. You will.

In time.

While I am leader of this village,

let me worry about those things.

Theo, you must move on.

You will find love again.

Ona.

When the soldiers come,

if you're taken, Ona, then

I think my heart will die.

No.

Ona, the mistletoe's tickle will keep

you safe.

Say my name.

Just once.

No.

Don't

say my name.

Say my name.

Tell us it will be different this time.

>> It will not be different this time.

No. This time we fight. If we fight,

they will destroy us.

The tax is eight youths.

We know our children are sacrificed to

fights to a wild beast. The death of

their prince is a terrible burden,

but we must endure it.

How can you know about our pain when

your precious son cannot be taken? Theo

cannot be taken because after me, he

will lead this village.

We agreed to keep him safe until then.

That's what you say.

Yes, we will. We can't fight them.

Didi.

What is it?

Your father said I should come.

He asked me to be with you, Theo.

I can't, Dede.

I still have feelings.

Dede.

I'm Shepherd.

Ooh.

>> The leper.

My goods were the boy.

The mark, the tree.

I know of it.

The other half belongs to someone I

love. It still does.

No.

She was taken. Taken?

But not sacrificed.

She lives?

She lives far across the sea, in the

labyrinth beneath the great palace.

There

she waits for Theseus.

Why do you play tricks with me, old

woman? When you know nothing of her.

To save her,

Theseus kill

curse of god

and kill

the beast.

The Minotaur.

>> She was taken.

But not sacrificed.

I had my difference with you.

It's time.

Take the village herd.

When you leave,

their soldiers will be here soon.

I went to see the leper.

She told me Fiona still lives.

She said I had to kill the beast.

You will not listen to an old woman who

fills your head with lies.

The Minotaur is a god. It cannot be

slain by any man.

One day you will lead this village. We

must keep you safe until then.

I'm doing this because I want you to

live

and give the world your children.

But the one I would have my children

with, Fiona,

is gone.

Go into the hills.

Do as I say.

Theo!

Theo! Go, Dannu. Go be with Morna.

The one who can't be taken. I want no

fight with you, Tyro. Well, you have no

fight with anyone, Shepherd.

If Fiona was on my mind, she'd still BE

HERE, SHEPHERD.

TYRO!

A CHILD!

A child is

We ask forgiveness for our sin. Take the

first eight youths you find,

and I want no more from your dark

spirit.

Tyro!

No!

Stop Tyro!

Ah! Stop Tyro!

No!

Ah!

Tyro!

Tyro!

Cass the guard and kill the beast.

The beast is

>> Don't touch my mother.

The stick.

THE STICK.

NO.

MOTHER.

MOTHER.

I'm taking your

Go.

Fight.

Run.

Farewell.

Is that a way to greet a friend?

Who is it?

It's Theo.

What's he doing here?

Stay close to Morna, Dana.

The bull.

I'm going to kill the bull.

Minotaur.

Thank god.

And you killed it with him?

Have you told him yet?

Theo was afraid of the bull. A fearful

beast.

My mother once told me that it is white.

White from the bile of all the children

sacrificed in the labyrinth.

She said when the Minotaur was born,

the world cried tears that filled the

oceans. Didi, your mother is a goose who

sings to her own shadow, and your

daughter is a fool who listens.

She's mad.

Get her for me.

The bull is divine. Death is our path

into the afterlife.

We should be honored if we are

sacrificed.

The gods do not sleep. You cannot kill a

god.

He will take your spirit

and you

will be his.

I fear no beast.

Not even a fool who dreams he can kill a

god.

That's what I intend to do.

To kill him while he sleeps.

Beneath the great mountains

she waits for her fear.

We're here.

The floor.

How is it warm?

>> Kneel.

Old this time.

Old and ugly.

Does a sacrifice please our princess?

You can

smell an angel, my lord.

Let us first

seize his meat.

THERE.

MY LORD.

LORD.

THEY WILL NOT PLEASE YOU, my lord.

And how will they not please me, boy?

They are annoying.

My lord.

Annoying?

Virgins please us.

They please us immensely.

We thank the boy for his concern.

Let him tell us his name.

Take those sweet eyes from me before I

pluck them out, boy.

My name is Shepard, sir.

Well, Shepard, our princess will show

you how we prepare virgins for our god.

Inhale the sweetness.

The gas shall corrupt their unknowing

minds.

I can stop you.

Now, now's the time. No.

My god isn't ready for his meat.

Let us see the mouth of hell.

Open the gates.

Did I be afraid?

Your spirit will I warm

in the belly of the bull,

And your flesh will taste sweeter now

that it's aroused.

Come, powerful one. Come see what I have

brought you. Come taste.

What?

You think that you will displease her

eyes?

Come quickly, powerful one, before I

taste this precious flesh myself.

You are afraid to show yourself.

Take the bells.

Run!

Take her.

REMOVE THEM. PREPARE THE PITS. THEY WILL

ALL BE SACRIFICED TOGETHER.

DO not ever speak in here again.

Who was it?

THE BULL.

AH! GET AWAY FROM ME!

YOU HURT THE PRINCESS.

WHAT ARE YOU, STORMER? GODS HAVE NO

POWER. THEY rule from the sky. Why would

they keep a dog under their feet?

>> The minotaur is from the under earth,

the great darkness.

The labyrinth of tunnels and caves.

>> It's a beast. If it is a beast, then it

can be slain.

The Minotaur is a beast and a god.

And Theo should not talk so.

Bring me the shepherd boy.

The old leper said he would come.

Sedate him with the gas.

Then I will see if he will help me.

Edmaya,

make sure the king does not see you.

You will come with us.

Theo.

Shepherd boy.

Has our gas made you drowsy?

Such innocence.

Sweet Theo.

How do you know my name?

Love, young Theo.

It tells me what I wish to hear.

I wish to hear why I've been brought

here.

I want to know of this beast that you

keep feeding my people to. You know

nothing of the beast.

I am Rafaela.

She who will give birth to the young

shepherd's dream.

What do you want from me?

Help me.

Release me from the beast and all my

riches will be yours.

Fears.

There was a girl

from the last sacrifice.

Fionn,

tell me.

Save me and I will help you. Where is

she?

How dare you enter my chambers? You

would pleasure yourself with this

filth.

Please, brother. What?

Do not ever question me. TAKE HIM. NO.

NO.

TURN AWAY FROM ME.

IF THIS IS YOUR PLEASURE, then so be it.

I will corrupt you with every soldier

and slave in the palace.

I will cast you to the lepers and watch

them crawl inside of you.

Then when you beg for it,

then will come the bull.

But first, you, young shepherd.

>> Fear.

I smell fear on the young shepherd.

You only know fear

as a lamb snatched from his mother.

I'm going to show you true fear.

Fear that will rip your heart from your

soul.

Fear that will make your spirit shake.

Make you wish that your eyes were born

blind, sealed shut.

It is a hymn that you know.

Let darkness be his.

Let me out of here.

>> Damn.

You did not ask of the sacrifice.

I ask that you do not hate me, my lord.

Hate you?

I forgive you.

The union between

brother and sister will be stronger.

I ask that you bear my seed.

I did not see that love between us.

Brother

and sister

could be so.

Only when I saw the pain I had given you

did my eyes open.

What about those in the palace?

The ones who make whispers against me.

Follow me, sister, to my chambers.

Yes.

Hold on.

What?

You know I don't understand.

You've seen Theo!

Done it.

Hold on.

Help!

No more!

Sister.

>> GEKKO!

IS THAT ANY WAY TO GREET A FRIEND?

NEXT TIME I call you, you answer me.

Okay.

Did you find any of the others? There's

no one. We should not look. We should

find our way from here. The others are

gone.

She said that the others are here and

she's not going on without her.

>> let her stay.

The only ONES HERE ARE DEAD.

We don't know that.

We have to find a way out.

You can look for them on the way.

SISTER!

SISTER.

COME.

COME.

Be by my side.

I would rather lay with the slaves in

the lepers than bear your child.

I would rather die with the beast.

No!

What?

The beast.

He's talking to the other guards.

I'm the inner rock.

The minotaur.

Speak of any oath.

I can kill it.

Someone must feed the bait.

I'll make a pact with you.

From this night,

every drop of virgin blood in my kingdom

will sweeten your lips.

I will nourish you with the flesh of

every newborn child.

Just

give her back to me.

Am I not a god

with power over death?

Great spirit, make me brave that I may

face the dark.

Great spirit, make me brave that I may

face the dark.

My heart told me you were not dead.

Why are you here?

I'm here to save you. Like you saved the

others. YOU'RE A WITCH!

YEAH.

YEAH, WE'D SUCK on her words like your

mother's tit.

She's cast her spell over him.

And he doesn't want it to be gone.

We could kill her

before she brings her magic.

Magic I would cast is to have you all

free of this place. Is that what you

want?

I know the way out.

My handmaiden waits.

If you trust me, I will take you there.

And you would trust that?

Huh?

What choice do we have? I would rather

put my head in a snake pit. I won't

follow that witch anywhere. Then go and

find yourself a snake pit, Vena.

I will.

You must stop her.

Vena.

Be with her, Thea. She'll kiss you like

a snake. I care for none of you. Or the

village.

I feel shame. I was born there.

And if you all die here, then good.

I hate

Where does the gas come from?

The center of the labyrinth.

It lights the fires in the palace.

There's something up ahead.

What is that? I don't know.

She's alive.

I dreamt I was alone

walking in a forest.

The forest was never as dark as here.

You must have fainted when they put you

down here, DD.

Hurry, it's not far now. My handmaiden

will let us out.

You had released a nightmare into our

world.

Am I infected by those who make whispers

against me?

How did you know this place?

Look into my eyes, young maid. Tell me,

do they show

mercy?

We should not be here.

This is where it sleeps.

We must hurry.

Rima, open the door. It's me.

This isn't right.

Where are you? Open the door. Fia, she

said she'd be here. She'll be here.

Rima, open the door.

She tricked us. She brought us here to

die.

Gory, you said there was another way.

The far side of the labyrinth. This has

to be the way out.

Open the door.

Open the door. OPEN THE DOOR.

OPEN THE DOOR.

>> THE BEAST.

THE BEAST?

HOW CAN A MAN KILL THAT?

That's her god.

She led us to him.

WHY DID YOU TRUST HER? WHAT HAS SHE DONE

TO YOU?

>> DANNY.

HE SAID MY NAME.

The spirit

has returned.

You must

not

fight.

I feel sick.

It's clean.

You guys stay.

I'm sorry.

I'll be fine with the others.

It's no shame to be afraid here.

>> Long time he's alone here.

Eating hope

and rats.

How long have you been here?

He's happy you come.

Labyrinth.

Do you know here?

Yeah.

It's bad place.

I want to see him as I.

What's your name?

Terek.

Terek.

And does Terek know of other survivors

down here?

Huh?

Tell me

what has Terek seen the beast feed on

when there's no children?

Rats.

The guard he trapped.

Young blood. He's black. No blessed

here, they're cursed.

God is cruel.

Mercy.

It's what you know.

Different place.

And you've seen him?

Where?

Sleep.

The gods do not sleep. Then he's not a

god.

No,

I did not say.

Why did you die?

Why did you die?

To kill the Minotaur.

This beast that sleeps.

Why do you hate Theron?

I do not hate him.

I don't trust him.

Because he took Theron. He wasn't his to

take. But then the soldiers came and

took him from Basilica. When they came,

I tried to stop them.

I always liked you, Tyro.

But you never looked at me.

I GIVE THE COMMAND. I MAKE the

sacrifice. You will not take her.

I'll snatch her back.

You will give her back,

she will not be yours.

Open it.

She is not here, Toraxio.

She's here.

Fian.

He knows where she is.

I know because I saw her.

You saw her spirit.

That's what lies here. No.

Her spirit wouldn't wander here.

She promised.

Fian.

The leper.

I went to see her.

The leper.

She didn't come here for us.

You came for her.

Didn't you?

You came for her because the leper has

cast her magic.

That's why your princess is here, cuz

they're the same witch.

Kill the gods.

We followed you. We trusted you. You

came for

Because OF HER. NO, TORAXIO.

FIAN IS DEAD TO YOU.

WHY CAN'T you believe that?

She's not dead.

You know where she is.

Where is she?

WHERE IS SHE?

WHERE IS SHE? HE'S EATING FIAN. HE

DOESN'T KNOW IT.

WHERE IS SHE?

>> SISTER.

Flee from this place.

Do not see a brother anymore.

I see a beast.

Damn

>> Where is she?

Tyro, please. Make it stop.

It's okay. It's okay. Think of when

we're away from here. Think of home.

Promise you'll take me out of here.

Promise.

I will take us from here.

Then I will be with you.

I can do this.

Tyro, careful.

Okay, Didi.

Okay.

Can you see anyone?

Come on, Didi. I'm trying. Didi, take my

hand. Come on.

Come on.

You okay?

Look at me.

Take my hand. Come on.

Come on, Didi. Come on.

I can't reach you.

Please, Iro.

I can't reach you. Take my hand. Take my

hand. Come on. Please.

I've got you.

Okay, don't look down.

Look at me, Didi.

Come on, Didi. Come on.

Please,

Iro.

Come on. Iro, please.

Come on, Didi.

Listen to me. Come on.

No.

Didi!

Theo!

Theo!

Theo!

Theo.

Theo!

Theo!

Feel the spirit, Theo.

Theo.

I knew you would come.

It can't be you.

It is me. Touch.

See into my heart.

You recognize me?

And I thought I never loved you.

Theo,

the leper said you would come.

We've been waiting for you.

What?

No.

No.

Theo.

Theo!

Theo!

Tala.

TALA.

OH DEAR. THEO.

TALA. THEO.

GO BACK TO TURAK.

I'LL come back for you. No.

I'll keep you safe.

He'll take us home.

What's your name?

Spirit of the tree, keep Theo safe and I

will hold you in my heart.

Spirit of the tree, keep Theo safe.

Spirit of the tree, I will hold you in

my heart. Keep Theo safe.

Spirit of the tree, keep Theo safe. I

will hold you in my heart.

>> Tala.

Tala.

Theo. Theo.

Mona, take me to Turak.

You

cannot take my spirit.

I will not let you.

I don't believe in you.

Pray for me, THEO.

>> NO.

NO, IT IS NOT YOUR TIME YET.

>> CLOSE MY EYES. I can see the village.

>> Tala.

Take Mona.

Take her home.

Tala.

Pray for me, Theo. No.

Pray, Theo.

Pray.

No.

Pray.

I'm sorry.

I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY, NANAO.

WHAT HE

DOES not

smell

he hears.

What he does not hear

he feels.

What he does not feel

he sees.

What he sees is already dead.

Behold, young shepherd.

Behold your god.

His name

is Minotaur.

Was she real?

Nothing here is real.

Then you must touch.

A curse of the brought me here.

No, Theseus, you do not curse love.

Why am I here?

Because the people of my palace once

believed they could create a god.

A power that was neither man nor beast

that would protect them.

Instead, my mother, the queen, gave

birth to an evil.

It murdered their prince.

To hide this shame, they imprisoned the

Minotaur in this labyrinth.

And they told the people

that a man from your village came

and murdered the heir to their throne.

That is why they take us.

Yes.

To feed the monster they created.

Theseus,

I asked the leper to find someone who

would kill the beast.

No, I knew you came here, Theseus.

If the Minotaur is a god,

he would kill us all.

But if he isn't a god,

then he will burn.

Strong hand.

We're near the source.

The gas is behind here.

>> Go see how deep from here.

Go see how far.

I have to help him. You stay here.

>> him, Theo.

>> it come? STAY UNDER THE WATER.

HEY!

MINOTAUR!

I'M HERE, MINOTAUR.

>> Where Where is it? Find it.

Where is it? Where is it?

Oh my god.

Come here. Come here.

Oh.

They're killing me.

Where is it? Give it to me.

>> Did you kill it?

I thought you said there was another way

out. The far side of the labyrinth.

>> WOW!

FREEZE!

WHERE YOU GOING?

HOLD ON.

LEO!

WHAT IS THAT?

LEO!

LEO!

>> Shepard

He thinks he's killed a god.

You are nothing.

Fool.

You cannot

kill an idea.

I was afraid

I had lost you.

Be afraid.

Darkness awaits you.

>> You must love her always.

Without her, you would never have come.

Take off your masks.

Remove your shame.

Take off your masks.

So, the reign of the bull god was over.

And the empire of a thousand years faded

into legend.

As a girl, I did not speak out of

mourning for the village.

But now, at the end of my life,

the world has changed forever, and my

words will preserve how that came to be.

The world would never forget the

shepherd who killed a god.

>> Woo!

>> Mhm.
