VOCALISING CONTINUES DRAMATIC THEME DRAMATIC THEME CONTINUES PERCY: AT FIRST, I DIDN'T BELIEVE IT, EITHER, BUT THE GODS OF OLYMPUS ARE REAL. AND SOMETIMES THESE GODS HAVE CHILDREN WITH HUMANS, CALLED HALF-BLOODS. I'M ONE OF THEM. I'M PERCY JACKSON, SON OF POSEIDON, GOD OF THE SEA. SEVEN YEARS AGO, FOUR OF THESE CHILDREN (BIRDS SQUAWKING) WERE HEADED TO CAMP HALF-BLOOD, THE ONLY PLACE ON EARTH THAT IS SAFE FOR OUR KIND. ONLY THREE OF THEM MADE IT. (PANTING, GRUNTING) BOY: WE'RE ALMOST AT CAMP! (CRASHING, GROWLING) LOOK OUT! (GROANING) GROVER! LUKE, HELP HIM! GROVER, ARE YOU OKAY? GROVER: MY LEG. IT'S STUCK. (SCREECHING IN DISTANCE) (CREATURE BELLOWS) LUKE: COME ON, I GOT YOU. KEEP GOING. I'LL HOLD THEM OFF. NO. NO, THALIA, THEY'LL KILL YOU. (BOOMING STEPS) (CREATURE GRUNTING) GO, LUKE! GO! I'LL BE RIGHT BEHIND YOU! OVER HERE! LUKE: ANNABETH, COME ON! STAY BACK! (PANTING, GRUNTING) (PANTING) (GRUNTING) THALIA, COME ON! (PANTING) (SCREAMS) (SOBBING): NO! THALIA! (YELLS) (GRUNTS, PANTS) PERCY: HER NAME WAS THALIA, AND SHE GAVE HER LIFE TO SAVE THREE. (DISTANT THUNDER) (PANTING) AND SO, AS THALIA LAY DYING, HER FATHER ZEUS FOUND ANOTHER WAY FOR HER TO LIVE. (CRACKLING, RUSTLING) A WAY FOR ALL HALF-BLOODS TO LIVE. A GIFT TO ENSURE NO ONE IN CAMP HALF-BLOOD WOULD DIE THE SAME WAY. THE BARRIER ` TO PROTECT THEM FROM THOSE WHO LIVED FOR THEIR DEATH. ANNABETH (PANTING): LET'S GO. EVERY DAY, THE STORY OF THALIA'S BRAVERY INSPIRES ME. AND HER TREE... PROTECTS MY HOME. (SCREAMING) BUT... NOT ALWAYS MY HEAD. (GRUNTING) WHOA...! AAH! (CHEERING, WHOOPING) OH! HOW NICE OF YOU TO SHOW UP JUST TO WATCH ME WIN. YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING THEY SAY ABOUT YOU IS WRONG, CLARISSE. YOU ACTUALLY DO HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOUR. # UP, UP, UP, LIGHT 'EM UP, UP, UP # LIGHT 'EM UP, UP, UP, I'M ON FIRE # SO LIGHT 'EM UP, UP, UP... (BOTH YELL) THERE GOES ANOTHER ONE! GO, PERCY! GROVER: COME ON, PERCY! I GOT 50 DRACHMA ON YOU! YOU BET ON THIS? WHAT, IS THAT WRONG? (BOY SCREAMS) OOH. OOH. '97 XINOMAVRO. WOULD YOU LIKE A TASTE? WHY? WHY DO YOU TORTURE YOURSELF, DIONYSUS? (BOY SCREAMS) (GIRL SCREAMS) IT WAS ONE TRANSGRESSION. ONE. AND WITH A NAIAD, FOR THE SAKE OF OLYMPUS. HOW WAS I TO KNOW THAT ZEUS HAD A THING FOR HER, OR THAT... HE COULD HOLD A GRUDGE FOR SO LONG? (CHUCKLES) I THINK THE FACT THAT ZEUS IS IMMORTAL MEANS THERE'S NO LIMIT TO HOW LONG HE CAN HOLD A GRUDGE. YOU KNOW, THE CHRISTIANS HAVE A GUY WHO CAN DO THIS TRICK IN REVERSE. NOW, THAT'S A GOD. CLARISSE (PANTING): AREN'T YOU TIRED OF GETTING BEAT, JACKSON? (GRUNTS) (GRUNTS, GASPS) (BOTH GRUNT) (STRAINED GRUNTING) (CLARISSE SCREAMS) (PANTS, GRUNTS) (LOW GRUNT, PANTING) CLARISSE! CROWD (CHANTING): CLARISSE! CLARISSE! CLARISSE... (GRUNTING) BOY: HELP! HELP ME! (YELLING) (PANTING) # SO LIGHT 'EM UP, UP, UP # LIGHT 'EM UP, UP, UP, LIGHT 'EM UP, UP, UP TEREUS, GRAB MY HAND! (PANTING): GOOD LUCK WITH THAT. # LIGHT 'EM UP, UP, UP, I'M ON FIRE I GOT YOU. # OH, WHOA, OH-OH-OH, OH # OH, WHOA, OH, OH-OH-OH (CROWD GASPS) (GRUNTS) TEREUS: THANK YOU! (GROANS) PERCY! # IN THE DARK, DARK # OH, WHOA, OH-OH-OH, OH # OH, OH, WHOA, OH, OH-OH-OH. (CROWD CHEERING) (CHANTING): CLARISSE! CLARISSE! CLARISSE! CLARISSE! (CHANTING CONTINUES) (GROANS) CROWD: CLARISSE! CLARISSE! CLARISSE... (LAUGHS) SO, WHAT I'M WONDERING IS, PERCY... THAT FIRST QUEST YOU WENT ON, BEGINNER'S LUCK, WASN'T IT? (PANTING): CLARISSE, HE SAVED OLYMPUS. THAT'S MORE THAN YOU'VE EVER DONE. CLARISSE: WHATEVER. EVEN FOR THE DAUGHTER OF THE GOD OF WAR, THAT GIRL'S A MYTHIC` DON'T LISTEN TO HER, PERCY. YOU KNOW, IT'S TOO LATE. BESIDES, SHE HAS A POINT. DUDE, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, MAN? YOU'RE MORE THAN A ONE-QUEST WONDER. YOU RECOVERED ARES' STOLEN CHARIOT. NO, ACTUALLY, THAT WAS CLARISSE. OKAY, WHAT ABOUT THE FALL TOURNAMENT? YOU OWNED THAT SUCKER. UH-UH. CLARISSE? MM-HMM. OKAY, THE SOLSTICE GAMES? THE BRONZE DRAGON'S QUEST? (QUIETLY): STOP. THANK YOU FOR TRYING TO CHEER ME UP. LOOK, I WOULD LICK A PAIR OF CLOVEN HOOVES BEFORE I LET YOU LISTEN TO CLARISSE INSTEAD OF US. NO OFFENSE, GROVER. OH, NONE TAKEN. IS THAT AN OFFER? LISTEN, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT CLARISSE HAS DONE. TO CHIRON AND MR. D, YOU'RE STILL THE ROCK STAR. PERRY JOHNSON. ACTUALLY, IT'S PERCY JACKSON, SIR. WHATEVER. LOOK, I HAVE A VERY IMPORTANT TASK TO ENTRUST YOU WITH. YOU DO? YES, IT'S A CRITICAL ASSIGNMENT. AND IT'S VERY TAXING. CAN I TRUST YOU? OF COURSE. GOOD. YOU'LL NEED THIS. SOMETIMES THESE... YOU KNOW, THESE EVENTS GET A LITTLE MESSY. (SIGHS) PERCY: MAYBE CLARISSE WAS RIGHT. MAYBE I ONLY STOPPED LUKE FROM DESTROYING OLYMPUS BECAUSE I HAD ANNABETH AND GROVER HELPING ME, RIGHT? DAD? POSEIDON? HAVE YOU EVER FELT LIKE EVERYTHING YOU'D EVER DONE, MAYBE YOU DIDN'T REALLY DO IT? IT WAS ALL JUST LUCK OR SOMETHING? NO, OF COURSE NOT. YOU'RE A GOD. WELL, SPEAKING AS SOMEONE WHO'S NOT, IT SUCKS. MAKES YOU QUESTION WHETHER YOU WERE ALL THAT GOOD TO BEGIN WITH. OKAY. WELL, GOOD NOT TALKING TO YOU... AGAIN. (INSECTS TRILLING, BIRDS CALLING) MR. D: SO, HE JUST WALKED RIGHT IN, HUH? WHAT, HE JUST WALKED STRAIGHT INTO CAMP, IS IT? IT SEEMS HE LUMBERED, ACTUALLY. I DON'T CARE IF HE SASHAYED. WHAT'S THE POINT OF HAVING THIS MYSTICAL PROTECTIVE BARRIER IF ANY THING CAN JUST... COULD YOU NOT TOUCH THAT, PLEASE? 'CAUSE THAT'S A VERY PRECIOUS GRENACHE. THANKS. I THINK THE POINT IS, SINCE HE DID PASS RIGHT THROUGH THE BARRIER FROM THALIA'S TREE... DON'T SAY IT. IT MEANS HE'S MOST LIKELY A GOD-SPAWN. YEAH, BUT THE SPAWN OF WHICH GOD? YOUNG MAN: I KNOW. POSEIDON. (BIRDS CHIRPING) (SIGHS) SO, WHY DID MR. D SUMMON YOU? IT'S NOT GOOD TO GET SUMMONED. I'M SURE IT'S FINE. I'M SURE YOU DON'T GET SUMMONED TO THE BIG HOUSE WITHOUT A MAJOR-LEAGUE SCREW-UP. I DIDN'T SCREW UP. I-I CLEANED THE ENTIRE COLISEUM. AND VACUUMED. DON'T LET HIM GET INTO YOUR HEAD, OKAY? WE HAVE A DEAD CAMPER WALKING. DEAD CAMPER WALKING HERE. THANKS. THIS IS FRIENDSHIP. (CHUCKLING): I'M JUST PLAYING. I'M JUST TRYING TO HAVE A LITTLE FUN. IT'S ALL RIGHT. SO, IT'S OKAY IF I GET YOUR CABIN WHEN YOU GET KICKED OUT? HEY, SERIOUSLY, DON'T WORRY. IT'S JUST MR. D. I MEAN, IF CHIRON HAD SUMMONED YOU, THEN... OH, YOU ARE SO MASSIVELY SCREWED. (PERCY SIGHS) WHATEVER IT IS YOU THINK I DID, I DIDN'T DO IT. YOU'VE DONE NOTHING, PERCY. EXACTLY. AS YOU KNOW, YOU ARE BELIEVED TO BE POSEIDON'S ONLY HEIR. YEAH. SO? SO IT WOULD SEEM THAT BELIEF HAS BEEN HELD IN ERROR. HOLD ON. YOU'RE SAYING PERCY HAS A BROTHER? OR A SISTER. HOLY STYX. ANOTHER POSEIDON HALF-BLOOD. NOT EXACTLY. CHIRON: TECHNICALLY, TYSON'S NOT A HALF-BLOOD. I DON'T GET IT. IF THIS NEW KID'S NOT HALF-HUMAN, THEN WHAT OTHER HALF IS HE? NYMPH. SEA NYMPH. AND WHEN YOU CROSS A DEITY WITH A NYMPH, YOU GET... MR. D: DON'T TOUCH... IT'S A... IT'S A GEWURZTRAMINER. JUST DON'T... HI. HI, BROTHER. (INDISTINCT WHISPERING) BOY: DUDE, SO WEIRD. (INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS, LAUGHTER) SO, YOU'RE THE BIG SHOT HERE, RIGHT? YOU SAVED THE WORLD AND STUFF. PERCY: Y-YEAH. YEAH. TYSON: HEY, THEY PUT PEPPERS IN YOURS. ARE YOU GOING TO EAT THAT? EH, GO AHEAD. GO AHEAD. MMM. IS HE MESSING WITH ME? I THINK HE'S HUNGRY. NO, NOT HIM. I MEANT POSEIDON. IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE SOME KIND OF JOKE? I MEAN, A HALF-BROTHER? A CYCLOPS? COME ON. (SLURPING LOUDLY) WELL, I THINK THE POLITICALLY CORRECT TERM IS "OCULARLY IMPAIRED." AND A HALF-BROTHER'S BETTER THAN NOTHING. I LIKE HAVING A BROTHER. DAD WAS COOL TO BRING ME HERE. DAD? DAD BROUGHT YOU HERE? I WAS UPSTATE, THE WOODS. ONE DAY, THIS TRIDENT SHOWS UP OVER MY HEAD, AND THEN IT STARTED MOVING SOUTH. AND YOU FOLLOWED IT? YOU... YOU FOLLOWED IT HERE? IT GLOWED. OH, SOMEBODY'S GOT A NEW BROTHER. AND I CAN SEE HE'S GOT HIS DADDY'S EYES. WELL... EYE. (LAUGHTER) YOU SHOULD REALLY GET HIM SOME SPRAYABLE MIST. ANYWAY, IT IS KIND OF INTERESTING TIMING, DON'T YOU THINK? MAYBE POSEIDON DECIDED HE NEEDED ANOTHER SON TO, YOU KNOW, REPRESENT. BULL. EXCUSE ME? SMELLS LIKE BULL. (LOUD BANG, RUMBLING) (GASPING) WE GOT BARRIER ACTION. HEY, CHRIS, YOU COMING? NO... NO, I'M GOOD. (FRANTIC, INDISTINCT CHATTER) (WHOOSH, ELECTRICAL CRACKLING) THAT IS SO AWESOME. (WHOOSH) IT'S CHILL. THE BARRIER'S HOLDING. (WHOOSH, SHATTERING) (SNARLING) (GROWLS) A COLCHIS BULL. RUN! (PERCY GRUNTS) (CAMPERS SCREAMING) (YELLS, GROANS) (GRUNTING) GIRL: STAY ON THAT SIDE! ANNABETH: PERCY! COME ON. PERCY. (GROANING) (BULL BELLOWING) (GASPING) BOY: GET UP! GET UP! GIRL: HEY! THROW ME THAT SWORD! BOY: HERE! HERE! WE HAVE TO FIND ITS WEAK SPOT. DOES IT HAVE ONE? PERCY, DISTRACT IT FOR ME. WHOA, WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! GO! GO, GO, GO! COME ON! GIRL: UNITS MOVING IN! BOY: HIT THE DIRT! HEY! HEY! BOY: HEY, GRAB A BETTER POSITION! (BELLOWS) WHOA! (GROANS) (GASPING) (GRUNTS) (CAMPERS SCREAMING) (BELLOWS) (GRUNTING) I GOT THIS. BOY: GET BEHIND ME! GET BEHIND ME! (BELLOWING) (GRUNTS) WHOA! (SCREAMING) (GROANS) BOY: GUYS, GET BACK. GET BACK. (PANTING) (TYSON GRUNTS) (GASPING) (INDISTINCT CHATTER) (PANTING) BAD BULL. GROVER: HEY, RUST BUCKET! (BOYS GRUNTING) (BULL BELLOWS) OH, NO. RUN! NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. (YELLS, GROANS) (FRIGHTENED GRUNT) (WHIRRING) (GRUNTS) LUKE (ECHOING): DAMN IT, JACKSON. YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW HARD COLCHIS BULLS ARE TO COME BY? MAYBE NEXT TIME YOU TRY TO DROWN SOMEONE... ...YOU'LL FIRST MAKE SURE HE'S NOT A DEMIGOD WHO CAN SWIM. LUKE? TURNS OUT YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY HALF-BLOOD WHO'S HARD TO KILL. YOU KNOW, PROPHECY. WHAT PROPHECY? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? YOU DON'T KNOW? HUH. WELL, ADD THAT TO THE LONG LIST OF THINGS YOUR BUDDY CHIRON HASN'T SHARED WITH YOU. CHIRON, MR. D, ALL THE REST` THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT US. TO THEM, WE'RE JUST KIDS. A BUNCH OF PAWNS MEANT TO BE PUSHED AROUND, TOLD WHAT TO DO. I'M NOT THE ONLY HALF-BLOOD WHO THINKS SO. THINK ABOUT IT. (WHOOSHING) (FLAMES CRACKLING) WHAT'D I MISS? WHERE'S PERCY? LAST TIME I SAW HIM, HE WAS GETTING DRAGGED BY A COLCHIS BULL. HEY, YOU. HOW COME YOU AREN'T BARBECUED? CYCLOPS ARE FIREPROOF. HOW DID THE BULL GET THROUGH THE BARRIER? OH, MY GODS. (SIZZLING) POISON. IS SHE... IS THE TREE DEAD? NO, BUT DYING. A CONDITION WE'RE ABOUT TO BECOME ALL TOO FAMILIAR WITH. MR. D: EVERYBODY, WE'RE GOING TO NEED A GUARD DETAIL TO PATROL THE PERIMETER. IT FEELS LIKE SHE'S DYING ALL OVER AGAIN. WHO WOULD DO THIS? PERCY: LUKE POISONED THE TREE. (CAMPERS MURMURING) PERCY. (SARDONICALLY): YAY, YOU'RE ALIVE. YEAH, WELL, I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE. LUKE LET THE BULL IN. WITHOUT THE TREE'S BARRIER, HE PROBABLY FIGURES THERE'S ENOUGH DEMI-TITANS OUT THERE TO GET HIM WHAT HE WANTS. AND THAT WOULD BE WHAT EXACTLY? OUR ANNIHILATION, MS. LA RUE. OUR ANNIHILATION. HOW'S THE ANTIDOTE COMING? SLOWLY. I KNOW THIS PROBABLY ISN'T THE BEST TIME, BUT, UH, THERE'S SOMETHING I HAVE TO ASK YOU. WHAT IS IT? IT WAS SOMETHING LUKE SAID ABOUT A PROPHECY, HOW I'M MENTIONED IN IT. DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? KNOWLEDGE ISN'T ALWAYS POWER, PERCY. SOMETIMES IT'S A BURDEN. I-I KNOW THAT. BUT, LIKE YOU SAID, I'VE BEEN PRETTY UNEXCEPTIONAL LATELY. IT'S GOT ME WONDERING IF I'M, YOU KNOW, PROPHECY-WORTHY. THEY SAY THAT WHEN THE GODS WISH TO TORTURE US, MY FRIEND, THEY ANSWER OUR PRAYERS. ANNABETH: NECKLACE OF HARMONIA, HERCULES' BOW, GOLDEN APPLE OF DISCORD. THREE MILLENNIA OF GODS AND DEMIGODS, YOU'D THINK THAT SOMEONE WOULD HAVE COME UP WITH A CURE FOR THALIA'S TREE. PERSEPHONE DID COME UP WITH MIRACLE-GRO. MAYBE WE CAN TRY THAT. THAT'S IT. RIGHT HERE. THAT IS NOT GOING TO CURE THALIA'S TREE SO MUCH AS GET US ALL KILLED. ME IN PARTICULAR. IT'S PERFECT. IT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED. I'M TAKING THIS TO MR. D. NO...! (FRUSTRATED GRUNT) I WAS HOPING TO SPARE YOU THIS ONUS A LITTLE WHILE LONGER, BUT GO INSIDE` UPSTAIRS, TO THE ATTIC. AND WHEN YOU COME BACK DOWN, WE'LL TALK SOME MORE. ASSUMING YOU'RE STILL SANE, THAT IS. (STEPS CREAKING) (FLOORBOARDS CREAKING) (FLAMES WHOOSHING) (DEEP INHALE) I AM THE SPIRIT OF DELPHI, SPEAKER OF THE PROPHECIES OF PHOEBUS APOLLO, SLAYER OF THE MIGHTY PYTHON. APPROACH, SEEKER, AND ASK. I HEARD THERE WAS A PROPHECY ABOUT ME. AYE. BUT BEFORE YOU LEARN THE FUTURE, KNOW FIRST THE PAST. LONG AGO, BEFORE OUR TIME, BEFORE OLYMPUS AND THE GODS, TITANS RULED THE WORLD. LED BY KRONOS, A FORCE SO EVIL HE DEVOURED HIS OWN CHILDREN. BUT THREE OF HIS SONS ESCAPED. ZEUS, HADES AND POSEIDON. THEY DESTROYED KRONOS AND BANISHED HIS REMAINS TO THE DEPTHS OF TARTARUS. BUT KRONOS IS FATED TO RISE AGAIN TO EXACT HIS VENGEANCE ON OLYMPUS AND THE WORLD. ONLY ONE HALF-BLOOD CHILD OF THE THREE ELDEST GODS CAN DEFEAT HIM. THIS CHILD SHALL BE OUR SALVATION OR THE CAUSE OF OUR DESTRUCTION. (THUNDER CRACKS) IT ALL BEGINS WHEN TWO COUSINS GRAPPLE FOR A FLEECE, THE SON OF THE SEA AND THE LIGHTNING THIEF. LUKE. SHALL REACH 20 AGAINST ALL ODDS. "AND SEE THE WORLD IN ENDLESS SLEEP, "THE EVIL SOUL, CURSED BLADE SHALL REAP. "A SINGLE CHOICE SHALL END HIS DAYS, OLYMPUS TO PRESERVE OR RAZE." AND THAT IS "RAZE" WITH A "Z," AS IN "DESTROY." I ASKED. (SIGHS) IS THERE ANY CHANCE, ANY CHANCE AT ALL, THAT I MIGHT NOT BE THE GUY IN THE PROPHECY? THE ORACLE REFERENCES A HALF-BLOOD OF THE ELDEST GODS. YOU ARE THE ONLY LIVING HALF-BLOOD HEIR OF ZEUS, HADES OR POSEIDON. THE PROPHECY COULD REFER ONLY TO YOU. WHAT IF I... DESTROY OLYMPUS BY NOT BEING GOOD ENOUGH TO SAVE IT? THAT SEEMS TO BE THE QUESTION, DOESN'T IT? MR. D: IT'S ABSOLUTELY OUT OF THE QUESTION! IF YOU COULD JUST LISTEN TO ME FOR ONE MOMENT, I... I AM LISTENING. YOU WANT TO GO ON A QUEST. OH, IT MUST BE THURSDAY. I'M SERIOUS. YEAH, I... I'M ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT THIS IS GOING TO WORK. (MR. D SIGHS) IT WAS SUCH A GOOD YEAR. THE GOLDEN FLEECE CAN HEAL ANY LIVING PERSON OR THING, INCLUDING THALIA'S TREE. WE HEAL THE TREE, WE RESTORE THE BARRIER AROUND CAMP. I'M SURPRISED YOU WANT TO GO ALONG WITH HER ON THIS, MR. UNDERSHIRT. UNDERWOOD. WHATEVER. I MEAN, EVERY SATYR WHO HAS EVER GONE AFTER THE FLEECE HAS DIED. RIGHT? I MENTIONED THAT TO HER. BUT IT'S A RISK I'M WILLING TO TAKE FOR THE GOOD OF THE CAMP. LOOK, THE LAST I HEARD, THE GOLDEN FLEECE WAS IN THE SEA OF MONSTERS, WHAT THE HUMANS CALL THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE. A PLACE NOT ONLY A SATYR SHOULD BE AFRAID OF. SO THE ANSWER IS NO. NO. I'M SORRY, ANNABELLE. ANNABETH. WHATEVER. IT'S A TERRIBLE IDEA. I'VE HAD A GRAND IDEA. (CAMPERS MURMURING) (MURMURING STOPS) UNLESS THALIA'S TREE CAN BE CURED AND THE PROTECTIVE BARRIER AROUND OUR CAMP RESTORED, THEN EVERY DEMIGOD, CENTAUR, SATYR AND NYMPH WILL BE KILLED WITHIN DAYS, IF NOT SOONER. (WHISPERING): HEY, YOU OKAY? DON'T WORRY. CAMP WILL BE OKAY. YOU GOT TO HAVE FAITH, RIGHT? MR. D: BUT, FORTUNATELY, I HAVE CONSIDERED THE MATTER. AND AFTER GREAT STUDY, I HAVE DETERMINED THAT THE ONLY THING THAT HAS THE POWER TO SAVE THALIA'S TREE, AND THEREFORE OUR HOME, IS THE GOLDEN FLEECE OF MYTH. (SNAPS FINGERS) WHAT? WHOSE TOUCH... (WHISPERING): "TOUCH CAN..." OH, RIGHT. CAN HEAL EVERY PERSON AND EVERY THING. (SIGHING): UGH. SO, THEN, A QUEST` A MISSION OF MERCY, IF YOU WILL ` INTO UNCHARTERED AND DEADLY WATERS, WITH NOTHING LESS AT STAKE THAN OUR OWN SURVIVAL. NOW, A SATYR IS NATURALLY DRAWN, AS YOU KNOW, TO THE POWER OF THE FLEECE. AND THEREFORE, IT MUST BE A SATYR WHO WILL GUIDE A HALF-BLOOD ON THIS QUEST. THANKS A LOT. ICHNEUTAE! WILL YOU GUIDE THE CHAMPION? OH, YEAH. (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) GOOD! GREAT! THAT'S GREAT! YEAH! GIRL: YOU GOT IT, ICHNEUTAE! (CAMPERS CHUCKLING, MURMURING) AS TO WHO THAT CHAMPION MIGHT BE, OUR PLIGHT CALLS FOR ONLY OUR FINEST HERO. THE BEST OF US, THE STRONGEST AND THE BRAVEST. THE SCION OF THE GOD OF WAR... CLARISSE! YES! (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) CAMPERS: CLARISSE! CLARISSE! CLARISSE! CLARISSE! CLARISSE! CLARISSE! THANK YOU. THANKS. HER NAME HE GETS RIGHT. CLARISSE! CLARISSE! CLARISSE! PERCY: HEY, CLARISSE. CLARISSE. WHAT? OH. (LAUGHS) DON'T WORRY ABOUT ALWAYS COMING IN SECOND, JACKSON. YOU DO GET USED TO IT. I THINK, RIGHT? OBVIOUSLY, I WOULDN'T KNOW. HEY, LISTEN. LUKE IS STILL OUT THERE. HE'S INVOLVED WITH THE FLEECE SOMEHOW, AND... I'VE GOT A FEELING THAT HE'S NOT DONE YET. REALLY? 'CAUSE I'VE GOT A FEELING THAT I DON'T REALLY CARE. GOSH, DON'T LOOK SO WOUNDED. LISTEN, THERE ARE GENERALS AND THERE ARE FOOT SOLDIERS. AND YOU SHOULD FEEL LUCKY THAT YOU EVEN MADE IT INTO THE ARMY AT ALL. JUST TRY NOT TO SCREW UP ANYTHING TOO BADLY WHILE I'M GONE. OKAY? LET'S GO. "CURSED BLADE SHALL REAP." (METALLIC CLANKING) "CURSED BLADE SHALL REAP." (METALLIC CLANKING) WHAT GOOD IS A PROPHECY IF YOU CAN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND IT? GUESS YOU DON'T HAVE ANY ANSWERS, EITHER, DAD. I MEAN, THIS WAS YOUR SWORD. THIS IS A BAD IDEA. YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY. YOU WERE GOING TO SAY THAT YOU'RE GOING AFTER THE FLEECE TO SAVE THE CAMP. ACTUALLY, HE WAS GOING TO SAY WE WERE. LOOK... I GET WHAT YOU'RE DOING HERE. YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT THE ONE-QUEST-WONDER THING, AND YOU WANT TO MAKE YOUR BONES. BUT ICHNEUTAE AND CLARISSE ARE ALREADY GOING AFTER THE FLEECE, AND IT'S NOT COOL TO BOGART ON SOMEONE ELSE'S QUEST. I THINK THIS IS MY QUEST, TOO. THE ORACLE SAYS HE WRESTLES LUKE FOR THE FLEECE. "GRAPPLES." BUT SHE ALSO SAID... THAT I'M DESTINED TO DESTROY OLYMPUS OR SAVE IT. SAVING'S BETTER, OBVIOUSLY. YEAH. LET ME PACK A BAG AND MAKE SURE MY HEALTH INSURANCE IS PAID UP. (SNARLING) (GASPS) WHOA! (CREATURE ROARING) OKAY, SO HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET PAST THEM? WELL, I THINK THEY'RE LOOKING FOR THREATS TRYING TO COME IN, NOT PEOPLE TRYING TO SNEAK OUT, SO I THINK WE'RE COOL AS LONG AS WE STAY QUIET. (CLATTERING) (CAMPERS GASPING) SHH! TYSON: OH. SORRY. SHH! MMM! UH, WE'RE, UM... WE'RE GUARDING, TOO. YOU LEFT WITHOUT ME. TYSON, WHERE WE'RE GOING, IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. I KNOW. I'M NOT STUPID. NO, JUST DUMB. I WANT TO HELP. YOU'D DO IT FOR ME. I-I APPRECIATE THAT, BUT... LOOK, I-I DON'T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND EXACTLY HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS GOING TO BE. I DO. THE FLEECE IS GUARDED BY POLYPHEMUS. WHO? POLYPHEMUS. CLOSEST THING CYCLOPS HAVE GOT TO SOMEONE FAMOUS. CAPTURED ODYSSEUS. LIVES IN CIRCELAND. WAIT, CIRCELAND? TYSON: BUILT ON HIS ISLAND. LONG STORY. POINT IS, MAYBE I CAN TALK TO HIM. YOU KNOW, CYCLOPS TO CYCLOPS. ANNABETH: NO, YOU CAN'T, BECAUSE I'M NOT GOING WITH A CYCLOPS. GROVER: OH, THEN WE GOT A PROBLEM, BECAUSE I'M NOT GOING WITHOUT ONE. THIS POLYPHEMUS IS PROBABLY WHAT KILLED EVERY SATYR THAT'S GONE NEAR THE FLEECE. YOU WANT ME TO LEAD YOU TO A CYCLOPS, FINE, BUT I'M BRINGING ALONG ONE OF MY OWN, FOR PROTECTION. (QUIETLY): NO WAY. NO. (PANTING, CLATTERING) SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK'S GONNA ATTRACT MORE ATTENTION, ALL THE NOISE OR THE ONE EYE? JUST-JUST GIVE THE GUY A BREAK, OKAY? OKAY, FINE. SHH. KEEP IT DOWN. THIS IS CRAZY HARD TO COME BY, AND I ONLY BROUGHT IT ALONG IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY, WHICH I GUESS THIS IS AN EMERGENCY, SO... HERE. MIST? IT MAKES THE MYSTICAL LOOK NORMAL. "SIDE EFFECTS MAY INCLUDE HANDSOMENESS, HEADACHE, SELF-ESTEEM AND LOW SELF-ESTEEM." HMM. AND JUST KNOW THAT IF THE CAMP WASN'T IN DANGER, I WOULDN'T BE WASTING THIS ON YOU. WASTING WHAT... AAH! IT'S NOT GONNA LAST FOREVER. YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO REAPPLY IT. EXTREME MAKEOVER ALERT. OOH-OOH! HOW DO I LOOK? BIT LIKE DAD, ACTUALLY. HE'S STILL A CYCLOPS. PERCY: OKAY. UH, GROVER, WHERE ARE WE GOING? WH-WHAT DOES YOUR NOSE SAY? (SNIFFS) UH, SOMEWHERE OFF THE COAST OF FLORIDA. SOUTH. (WHISTLES) (RUMBLING) OVER HERE. ANNIE! HEY! SHH! (WHOOSHING) (ENGINE SPUTTERING) IT'S A CHARIOT OF DAMNATION. LOOKS LIKE A NEW YORK CITY CAB. SAME DIFFERENCE. (DOOR CREAKS) (IN UNISON): NO DOLLARS, NO CREDIT CARDS. DRACHMAS ONLY. EXACT CHANGE... PLEASE. CHOP-CHOP! GET IN THE CAB. YEAH, WE JUST HAD THIS CAB SANITIZED FOR YOUR PROTECTION. IT WASN'T THIS YEAR, THOUGH. EXCUSE ME, WE'RE TRYING TO GET TO FLORIDA. (GASPS) OUR KIND OF FARE. PRICEY. (BELL DINGS) (ENGINE REVVING) WHOA! MAN: OH, HEY, THERE. THIS IS GANYMEDE, CUPBEARER TO ZEUS. AND WHEN I'M OUT BUYING WINE FOR THE LORD OF THE SKIES, I ALWAYS REMEMBER TO BUCKLE UP. MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE FLOWN COMMERCIAL. (GASPS) (ANNABETH SCREAMS) (ENGINE REVVING) LOOK OUT! (KIDS GRUNT) CALM DOWN. IF WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WE WERE DOING... WE WOULDN'T BE LICENSED. THEY DON'T HAVE EYES. ALL: YEAH. (KIDS SCREAM) I KNOW, AWFUL PICTURE. BAD HAIR DAY. WE DO SO HAVE AN EYE. IT'S AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE. THE LAST TIME I SAW IT, YOU PUT IT IN THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT, ANGER. DON'T USE THAT TONE WITH MY NAME. IT'S NOT THERE THIS TIME. AH! (CHUCKLES) WASP ALWAYS PUTS IT WITH THE KEYS. (CHUCKLING): AH. AND IT'S 20/20. SO IS MINE! SHOULDN'T THE DRIVER GET THE EYE? YEAH. EH, SHE'LL BE FINE. (KIDS SCREAMING) TEMPEST, SPLIT! (GASPING, SCREAMING) PERCY! WHOA! WE PAID EXTRA FOR THAT OPTION. (GRUNTING, SCREAMING) WASP: YOU KNOW, THE KID'S RIGHT. THE DRIVER SHOULD HAVE THE EYEBALL. HE'S A FREAKIN' GENIUS! YOU'RE THE ONE THAT PUT IT IN THE VISOR. WHILE IT'S ON THE TABLE, I HAVEN'T HAD A TURN IN QUITE SOME TIME. (GRUNTS) (GASPS) OH, NO, YOU DIDN'T! YES, I DID. OH, YOU STUPID WITCH! I CAN'T STAND YOU! YOU BETTER WATCH THAT MOUTH! HANDS ON THE WHEEL AT LEAST, OKAY? (ENGINE WHIRRING) (KIDS SCREAMING) WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE. PIPE DOWN. DIDN'T THAT PROPHECY SAY YOU'RE GONNA MAKE IT TILL AT LEAST 20? YOU KNOW ABOUT THE PROPHECY? OH, SURE. THE ORACLE'S A FRIEND. WE'RE BESTIES. ALL: BFF! (GRUNTS) EYE! EYE! EYE! OH, GROSS! UGH! GET IT OFF ME! (GROANS) MY EYE! HE'S GOT IT. WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE PROPHECY? MINE! THAT'S MINE! OKAY, WELL... MINE! WOMEN: NO! (WHISPERING) OKAY, OKAY. 30, 31, 75... 12. WHAT? PERCY, YOU GOT YOUR ANSWER! ALL-ALL I GOT WERE NUMBERS. YES. YOU'LL KNOW... WHEN IT MATTERS. I THINK WE'RE A LITTLE SHORT ON DRACHMAS. WOMEN: WHAT?! (TYRES SCREECHING) (KIDS SCREAMING) (SCREAMING) (KIDS PANTING) WHAT DO YOU... THINK WE'RE... RUNNING HERE? ALL: A CHARITY? GET YOUR CHEAP BUTTS... ALL: OUT! (TYRES SQUEALING) ANGER: OKAY, MY TURN. GIVE ME THE EYEBALL. NO, IT'S MY TURN. I ONLY HAD IT FOR FIVE MINUTES! (ARGUING INDISTINCTLY) THAT WAS... I KNOW. AWESOME! CAN WE GO AGAIN? WE'RE DEFINITELY NOT IN FLORIDA. I THINK WE'RE IN... OLYMPUS. HAIL TO YOU, GREAT ZEUS! UM... HEY. FORGIVE OUR TRESPASS ON OLYMPUS. WE'RE SEEKING TRANSPORT TO FLORIDA. ZEUS? ZEUS? ZEUS? PERCY: WHOA! WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, STOP IT, STOP IT, STOP IT. ZEUS? THIS ISN'T OLYMPUS, OKAY? THIS IS THE CAPITOL BUILDING. WE'RE-WE'RE IN WASHINGTON, DC, OKAY? OKAY? AH. IT LOOKS LIKE OLYMPUS. RIGHT DOWN TO THE DUDES WITH POWER WHO ONLY CARE ABOUT THEMSELVES. PERCY: WE NEED TO FIND A BUS STATION. ANNABETH: WELL, FIRST WE NEED TO GET SOME MONEY. (BEEPING) OH, HEY THERE, VALUED HALF-BLOOD ACCOUNT HOLDER. SIGN UP FOR OUR NEW APHRODITE EXPRESS CREDIT CARD, AND YOU CAN... (BEEP) CAN I GET, UH, FOUR VENTI HALF-CAF NO-WHIP LATTES? (QUIETLY): AND, UH, A EXTRA SHOT OF NECTAR. TESSERIS AMBROSIAS TEKE NEKTAR. PARAF TEKA. NECTAR? IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD, THEN YOU HAVEN'T LIVED, BUDDY. (WHISTLING A TUNE) HEKATONKHEIRE. HEY, HEY. WHOA. (CHUCKLING): I SEE YOU GOT YOUR HANDS FULL. AH. GROVER: AH. ROOM FOR CREAM? NECTAR. DOUBLE SHOT. I'VE LIVED. THIS MIGHT BE THE MOST FUN I'VE EVER HAD. EVER. YEAH, WELL, ANYTHING'S GOT TO BE BETTER THAN LIVING IN THE WOODS, RIGHT? LIVING IN THE WOODS WOULD'VE BEEN FINE IF YOU WERE THERE. EVERYTHING'S BETTER WITH A BROTHER. YOU KNOW, TECHNICALLY, WE DON'T HAVE THE SAME MOM... SO WE'RE STILL BROTHERS. I KNOW! HOW COOL IS THAT? ARCTIC. ANNABETH: IT'S TOO SWEET, DON'T YOU THINK? GROVER: NO, NECTAR'S NEVER TOO SWEET. GROVER (GRUNTS): GET OFF ME! AAH! GET OFF ME! GROVER! (GRUNTING) (GRUNTS) (YELLS) (GRUNTING) (BLADE SCRAPES, RINGS) (GRUNTING CONTINUES) PERCY! DAMN! WAS THAT CHRIS RODRIGUEZ? HOW DID THEY DO THAT? BACK... BACK AT CAMP, LUKE SAID THAT THERE WERE OTHER HALF-BLOODS WHO TURNED. WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "TURNED"? TO HIS SIDE. LUKE HAS GROVER. PERCY: THE ORACLE WAS RIGHT. LUKE'S GOING AFTER THE FLEECE. THAT'S WHY HE NEEDS A SATYR. BUT WHAT DOES LUKE WANT WITH THE FLEECE, ANYWAY? I DON'T KNOW. BUT IF WE'RE GONNA GET GROVER BACK, WE NEED TO FIND LUKE. BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS. I KNOW SOMEONE WHO DOES. COME ON. WHAT, ARE WE SHIPPING OURSELVES OVERNIGHT EXPRESS TO THE SEA OF MONSTERS? YOU WANT TO FIND LUKE? HIS DAD WILL KNOW WHERE HE IS. OLYMPIC PARCEL SERVICE. COME ON. MAN: LIKE IT? HE'LL LOVE IT. YES, HEPHAESTUS DOES DO QUALITY WORK. EVERYONE ELSE THESE DAYS, HACKS. OH, EXCUSE ME, WE'RE LOOKING FOR HERMES.

WANT TO SEE IT? LUKE: IT WASN'T EASY TO FIND. I HAD TO CRAWL THROUGH THE DEPTHS OF TARTARUS ITSELF. AND THEN CLEVELAND. THE REMAINS OF KRONOS... THE ORIGINAL TITAN, FATHER TO THE OLYMPIANS, AND WITH THE FLEECE'S HELP, DESTROYER OF OLYMPUS. AND THE WORLD. YOU'D DESTROY THE WHOLE WORLD JUST... TO WHAT, TO GET BACK AT YOUR DAD? THE OLYMPIANS OVERTHREW THEIR PARENTS. IT'S JUST OUR TURN. WE MET YOUR FATHER. HE SAID THAT HE KNOWS THAT HE MADE MISTAKES, AND HE... HE TOLD US TO TELL YOU TO NOT BE SO ANGRY. REALLY?

YOU'RE GONNA LECTURE ME ABOUT THALIA WHEN YOU'RE HANGING AROUND WITH HIM? YOU DISAPPOINT ME THE work's picked up, and we've added six more jobs a day. Since becoming a ready business a year ago, work's picked up, and we've added six more jobs a day. I've put this down to our new way of working. Everyone's on the same page, making managing jobs simple as. I don't think we've ever been so busy. There's more cash in the till, and we've even brought on a new bloke. Ooh, a bit cold, mate. More Kiwi businesses are benefitting from being ready. You can too. . . (RATTLING) I TOLD YOU HE HAD A BRIG. HOW CAN YOU TRUST HIM? HE WAS PROBABLY MAKING ALL THAT NOISE ON PURPOSE. HE WANTED LUKE TO CATCH US. WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST TYSON ANYWAY? HE'S A CYCLOPS. I THINK THE POLITICALLY CORRECT TERM IS "OCULARLY IMPAIRED." WHO CARES? THEY'RE VICIOUS AND THEY'RE DANGEROUS.

YOU WANT TO STEER FOR A WHILE? THANK YOU. NOBODY'S EVER TRUSTED ME WITH ANYTHING BEFORE. IS THAT BECAUSE OF YOUR LACK OF DEPTH PERCEPTION? IS IT BECAUSE THEY'RE SCARED OF YOU? I WAS IN THE MOUNTAINS ONE DAY, AND SOME CAMPERS ` BOY SCOUTS ` SHOWED UP. AND WHEN THEY SAW ME, THEY SCREAMED. THEY RAN. AND I'M PRETTY SURE I SMILED. PEOPLE LOOK AT ME AND THEY SEE A MONSTER. SOMETIMES, I THINK MAYBE THEY'RE RIGHT. YOU'RE NOT A MONSTER. DON'T BE SO HARD ON YOURSELF. (CHUCKLES SOFTLY) EASY FOR YOU TO SAY. WHAT DO YOU MEAN? YOU NEVER DOUBT YOURSELF OR THINK YOU'RE LESS THAN YOU ARE. THANK YOU, BROTHER. COME HERE. OPEN IT SLOWLY. SLOWLY. OH! HEY, HEY! JUST TAKE IT... TAKE IT SLOW! SLOW, OKAY? MM-HMM.

IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD... (GLASSES CLINK) YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU DON'T NEED THESE ANYMORE. THERE, THAT'S BETTER. (SIGHS) (CHUCKLES SOFTLY) CHIRON: YOU SEEM HAPPY. I'M JUST RELIEVED TO HAVE THAT WHOLE PROPHECY THING OFF MY SHOULDERS. I'M NOT ALTOGETHER SURE IT IS, PERCY. YOU'VE DONE WONDERFULLY, BUT YOU ARE STILL THE ONLY LIVING HUMAN CHILD OF POSEIDON, HADES OR ZEUS. BESIDES, IT'S QUITE POSSIBLE THE ORACLE WASN'T REFERRING TO WHAT WOULD UNFOLD ON POLYPHEMUS ISLAND. I'M JUST SAYING, A LOT CAN HAPPEN BETWEEN NOW AND YOUR 20TH BIRTHDAY. THAT'S NOT REALLY WHAT I MEANT. WHAT I MEANT WAS... FINDING OUT YOU HAVE A DESTINY IS A LOT LIKE FINDING OUT YOU HAVE A HALF-BROTHER WHO'S A CYCLOPS. MIGHT NOT BE AS BAD AS YOU THINK. (QUIET, INDISTINCT CHATTER) GROVER: PERCY! PERCY! (PANTING) PERCY. ANNABETH WAS GUARDING THE TREE LAST NIGHT, AND SOMETHING HAPPENED. GROVER: I SAW HER LYING BY THE TREE. ANNABETH: PERCY... THE FLEECE. WHAT HAPPENED? IT WAS EVEN MORE POWERFUL THAN WE THOUGHT. (GASPS) HEY, COME ON, COME ON. HELP HER. WHO ARE YOU? PERCY. EVERYTHING'S ALL RIGHT. IT'S OKAY. I HAD THE STRANGEST DREAM. YEAH? LIKE I WAS DYING. WHAT'S YOUR NAME? I'M THALIA, DAUGHTER OF ZEUS. PERCY: ANOTHER LIVING CHILD OF THE ELDEST GODS. MAYBE IT WASN'T ME. MAYBE THE ORACLE MEANT THALIA ALL ALONG. COULD SHE BE OUR SALVATION? OR THE CAUSE OF OUR DESTRUCTION?
