But when I designed this marvel, . ZEUS (voice-over): In ancient times, the world was ruled by gods and monsters. But it was the half-god Perseus, my son, who defeated the Kraken and saved humanity. For his courage, I offered him a place to rule at my side. But Perseus was strong-willed and chose a different path. He vowed to live as a man. Even when fate took his wife, he would not pray for help, from me or the other gods. And now, the time of the gods is ending. But the son of Zeus cannot hide from his destiny forever. Now, pull it in, pull it in, pull it in again. Throw in the other one real quick. Go on, I'll tie this off. Good catch today, Dad. Where did you get that? Made it myself. You made it yourself? (chuckles) BOY: I want to be a good god and do good things. PERSEUS: There's no such thing as good gods. Some of them are good. Ah, Helius, there's more to life than gods and Titans. Hey, Clea, I have a confession to make. I, uh, needed him for chores, so he skipped studying. Now, you do a good job, make me proud. (distant rumbling) (rumbling grows louder) (whispers): I know you're here. (whooshing, rumbling) I visit him sometimes in his dreams. He's like his father-- a strong-willed boy. You're just passing through? No. I need your help, Perseus. You're the great god Zeus; you don't need my help. There is a calamity coming. It will affect us all-- gods and men. The humans may have stopped praying to us... With good reason. ...but there are consequences. Without prayer, we gods lose our power. When our power leaves us, all our work comes undone. All of it. (loud rumbling) (clattering, clanking) The walls of Tartarus are falling. It is emptying all its demons onto the Earth. The first are already here. If our power diminishes much further, we gods will become mortal. We will die, and Kronos himself will escape. It will mean chaos, the end of the world. What am I meant to do? This is business for gods. We need all our children now. Perhaps, together, we can remedy this. But we need every shred of power, Perseus. I will never leave my son. I know your heart better than you know it yourself. You believe your human half makes you unworthy to join us. You will learn someday that being half-human makes you stronger than a god, not weaker. I think you should go. Sleep well, Perseus. (loud rumble, crackling) (creaking, rattling) (shuddering) (rumbling) (wind howling) (people clamouring) (cries out) (loud rumbling) (screaming) PERSEUS (voice-over): I will never leave my son. (screeching, yelling) (distorted shouts) (frantic shouts) (gasps) (panting) (distant rumbling) (rumbling grows louder) (whooshing) (indistinct whispering) Poseidon! Brother. It has been an age. Indeed, it has. Ares, my son. Where's my brother Perseus? (chuckles) Gone fishing? Yes. What a brave and noble decision. (distant, indistinct whispering continues) Let us go, then. (rumbling) ARES: Tartarus-- the great prison of the underworld. (rumbling continues) ZEUS (echoing): Brother Hades! We have come to your domain... as agreed. Show yourself to us. (crackling) After so many years... the sons of Kronos, together once more. Brothers in arms. Hades, you are the great ruler of the underworld. Allow us to enter and help you rebuild the walls of Tartarus. My beloved brother, who banished me here for eternity to look after our father... now seeks reconciliation. We must forget the past, brother... and unite! Yes. But on my terms. (screeches) Poseidon! (groaning) Above you! Poseidon! It has begun. (whooshing and crackling) (whooshing) (screeching) (distant rumble) (rumbling grows louder) (screeching) (frantic shouting) Helius! Helius! -(growling) -(frantic murmuring) CLEA: Helius? Helius! (screeching) (onlookers yelling) (clamouring) (screeching) (yelling) Helius! Have you seen Helius?! Helius! (roars) Get back! Keep away! Its venom catches fire. (roars) Stay down! (frantic yelling) (screeching) Helius! Go with them! (roaring) Take him! I'll find him! Go! Go! Dad! -Run! -Run! Helius! (roaring) Helius! Dad! Hurry! I'm coming, son! MAN: No! Helius! Stay there! (muffled): Dad! (muffled roaring) (muffled): Helius! (fading in): Here! (full volume): Come and get me! (roaring) (gasping) (hissing) (screeching, hissing) (yells) (yelling) (roaring) (yelling in pain) (roaring) (roars, whimpers) (roars) What are you waiting for? Burn me! (screeching, growling) (distant crying) Sit. (Perseus groans in pain) (sympathetically): Oh... Things are happening in the world, Perseus, you know that. You have instincts. The son of a god. A son needs a father. I made a vow to Io. I know, I know. I was there, delivering your son. You vowed to your wife that you'd never let Helius wield a sword. That you'd live with him as a simple fisherman. Well, that's a fine game in normal times. But if you have power, you also have a duty. Just fix my body, and leave my soul to me. (groans in pain) Where are we going? I need to speak to my father. There's nothing to be frightened of. This is the Mount of Idols-- the closest place to the heavens. It's a place where people come to worship the gods. At least they used to come. Zeus? Father... (rumbling, whooshing) (sighing) Poseidon. What happened? Hades and Ares have joined Kronos against humanity. All the gods have disappeared. I fear the worst. Here... here... -No. -I got you. I got you. (grunts in pain) Where's my father? Captured. We must journey to the underworld and free him. They took my father. You're the only hope left in this world. Or there will be oblivion. How do I do it? I'm only half a god. Then you must find another half-god. Agenor. He's my son. He's with Queen Andromeda. Tell him to take you to the Fallen One. (grunting in pain) Poseidon... (grunts) (rumbling) Take this. Use it. And if my son survives, and proves worthy... give it to him. (sighs) (rumbling) (eerie muttering, whispering) My own son betrays me. Only when it suits you you remember I am your son. Hades... You're sweating like a human, brother. Next, it'll be tears. ARES: Don't waste words on him. Kronos is waiting... Father. What? Our father has offered us a deal. You fool! If we help him to escape Tartarus, he will allow we few gods who remain to keep our immortality. (groaning) Let him speak. Let him speak! Are you becoming weak? You're in the underworld, Ares, where it's wise to obey me. You forget our father once tried to kill us. No, I remember everything. And what, exactly, does our father want from us in return for our precious immortality? We simply offer him the last of your divine powers, so that he may free himself. Oh, Hades... ...what have I done to you? (laughing) You laugh as if you had a choice. There is no choice. I hope you have enough of them. Pull him. But it's hard to let it go. . All right, so, this is Tim. 34-year-old male. RTC. Multi-vehicle... VOICES OVERLAP I think about the car crash a lot. I know he caused it and I reacted the best way possible. But it's hard to let it go. SOMBRE MUSIC When I asked what had happened to him, the doctors said he really wore the impact ` any more and things would've been much worse. They said he was lucky ` lucky I wasn't going any faster. Thank you. SOMBRE MUSIC CONTINUES It's OK. MUSIC CONTINUES It's OK. (thunder rumbling) (fabric rips) You'll need it more than me. (horse neighing in distance) Pegasus. Go on. (Pegasus grunts, Helius gasps) He likes you. Me, on the other hand... I love you. I know. (Perseus grunts, Pegasus whinnies) Hey... (grunts) keep it straight. Make me look good. (Pegasus whinnies) Come on, boy! More Chimera! Archers! (all shouting) Chimera! Ready! Your lines! Hold your line! (shouting) ANDROMEDA: Hold your fire! I said hold your fire! Andromeda...! Keep it straight... boy! Whoa! (soldiers cheering) You used to be a lot better at this. (men laughing) All hail, Perseus, killer of the Kraken. SOLDIERS: Hail, Perseus! Great Perseus. (groans) If it is action you're after, you are a little late. I'm just here to see Queen Andromeda. This is a battlefield. I am in command here. PERSEUS: Uh-huh. Well, I wish to speak to the queen. And the queen wishes to speak to you. Your Majesty. Come on. SOLDIERS: Hail, Perseus! Hail, Perseus! (sighs heavily) You've obviously been in your own battles, Perseus. I've been busy with mine. Yeah, you have. I won't keep you. It's been too long. I have a son now. I know. I'd like to meet him. -And my wife, she... -I know. I'm sorry. Your Majesty. For the sake of the men, we must resolve our differences before sunset. I've made it clear we continue to fight the Chimera invaders. Today, in the field, we lost 300 men for the death of four Chimera. We have offended the gods. We need to pray. You'd pray to Ares, perhaps. Our soldiers always have. What if I was to tell you that Ares is your enemy now. I would make peace with him. PERSEUS: You'd make peace with the god of war? Perseus? What's your strategy? There's a way we can end this, and then I can get home. What is this for? It's to cut the oars for my trireme. I need 170 oars for the three rows; one oar per man. This looks like a pick. It is, however, the rudder for my flagship. Quiet! Morning checks, Your Majesty. Always eventful. Oh, Your Majesty! Ah, it's so good to see you! This is Agenor. He's a liar and a thief. I know it didn't work out between us, but please, do try and get over it. Have you ever had a woman love you so much she locks you up like a pet rabbit? He wanted my hand in marriage. When I refused, he tried to run away with the crown jewels. I think it's my extraordinary eyes. PERSEUS: Actually, you got the eyes of your father. Do you know his father? Agenor here, he's the son of the great god Poseidon. (laughing) Your new boyfriend is clearly insane. I'm your cousin, Agenor. I'm the son of Zeus. Half-god and abandoned just like you. (grunting) If my father sent you, I want nothing to do with you. Your father's dead. Gods don't die. They do now. Good. Could you do me a favour? -Anything. -Go to hell. That's exactly where I'm going. I just need information. Your father told me that you could help me get to the Fallen One. You long for the ocean, don't you, Agenor? It's like a thirst you cannot quench. It must be hell for you in here. (shackles clanking) I want a royal pardon. Granted. (whimpers happily) I want my body weight in gold. Granted. (chuckles) A few gold coins-- you're so scrawny. Ah, let me see. What else have I dreamt of as I lay here in my cell? Don't push it. I'm gonna need a boat-- your fastest boat. The Fallen One lives far across the ocean. -Where? -Put me on the deck of the boat and I'll show you. (shackles clanking) Your ship awaits. Fetch my lucky cape. Do you know why this is my lucky cape, me old mate? Because the first time I wore it... (continues indistinctly) ANDROMEDA: Send word to every regiment in the region still intact to gather here at the Tyrian Pass. If I'm not there in two days, then you can pray. Your Majesty. OFFICER: Regroup by the garrison! You can't leave Greece without a queen. Are you giving me orders now? (waves lapping) PERSEUS: Unchain him. (chain clanking) It's time to show me where the Fallen One is. ANDROMEDA: Who is the Fallen One? Oh, uh, the god Hephaestus. (chuckles) And who's Hephaestus? Hephaestus was the god that made Poseidon's trident, Hades' pitchfork and Zeus's thunderbolt. Put those together, they form the Spear of Trium, the weapon the gods used to defeat Kronos. But Hephaestus lives on the Island of Kail. (laughing) Which no one has ever found. Kail doesn't exist, does it, Agenor? (Agenor laughing) It does exist, and I can take you there. Unchain me and give me the trident. If you unchain him, he'll jump off this boat, you'll never see him again. Hephaestus can help you save your father. (shackles, chains clanking) -(sighs) -Don't let our family down. (rumbling) (clangs) (grunting) (crackling) Never doubted you for a second, Agenor. (grunts) (thunder rumbling) (thunder rumbling) (clanking) HADES: Great Kronos, father... we have delivered Zeus, your son... as you ordered. (deep growling): Zeus... . (mast creaking, sail rustling) Island of Kail. I'm not touching that again. MAN (whispers): What is it? PERSEUS: I don't know. But whoever did this doesn't want us here. AGENOR: We have no choice. Fallen god has to live as close to the heavens as possible. Streams run down through here. High ground's that way. (snapping) (gasping) Don't move. (whipping) (growling in distance) -I can't see nothing. -We should pray to the god of war. Warriors! I know it is your custom. But no matter what we're about to face, you do not pray to Ares. If you do, he will find us and kill us all. Close in. Stay alert. Tripwire. -Agenor! -Yeah, yeah, sorry. (whipping) The most important thing is to do nothing. Nothing I can do well. Oh, for the love of Zeus! I told you to do nothing! -I didn't do anything! -If you'd just stay still. No, no, no, no, no! Cut the counterweights. Don't cut the counterweight! PERSEUS: No, he's right; the fall will kill him. (creaking) (distorted yells in distance) Cut the counterweight! Cut the counterweight! PERSEUS: Agenor! Cut the counterweight! Cut the counterweight! Agenor! (echoing): Agenor! (gasps) (panting) (distant rustling, crackling) (rhythmic thudding) (heavy breathing) Oh, you gotta be kidding me. Stay down! (gasps) What is it? Big! Andromeda, slow him down! (growling) (gruff muttering) Now! Archers! -Galenos, give him support! -You! Follow me. (gruffly speaking native language) (growling) No! (gruff shouting) (grunting and groaning) (panting) (Cyclops grunting, muttering) (murmuring): I pray to you, great god, I pray to... Is it gone? (growling) (sniffing) (gruffly speaking native language) Hey! This is gonna be a bad idea. (roaring) (roars) (gasping) (roaring) (straining) (straining) (straining) (grunts) (exhales heavily) (grunting) Where's my cousin? (panting) (growls) (shouts in native language) Glad you're hanging in there. I thought I'd give them an eyeful. (speaking native language) What was that for?! ...Poseidon. (speaking native language) (grunts) Poor Ares. Always following orders. I am my own master. ZEUS: Yes, of course you are. Perhaps it's only humans that have free will. (thunderous grunt) There. (thunderous grunt) ARES: Pain-- your lesson in being human! Why don't you weep? Why don't you weep like your favourite son Perseus? (thunderous grunt) If I weep, it will be for you, Ares. -(thunderous grunt) -Ares. Enough. (thunderous grunt) I said... enough! We are in this together, Hades! Do not weaken now. Your weakness is your blind hatred for your father and your brother. You don't know when to stop fighting. You've already won. Kronos is draining Zeus's power. (chains sizzling) I'll probably drop Libby home after dance. I'll be home a little bit after 10, not too late. Yeah, all good, love. # Na, na, na, na. PHONE CHIMES Hey, the others wanna hang out. Um... GIRLS LAUGH ALL SING: # It's time to cut and run. This time I'm really done. # GIRL SQUEALS Oh my God! SHOUTS: Yeah! TECHNO MUSIC PLAYS, GIRLS CHATTER HORN BLARES, GIRLS SHRIEK, LAUGH (SIGHS) . (speaks native language) ...Hephaestus. HEPHAESTUS: Zeus! Ares! Hades! At last! I knew you'd come! Poseidon, I can see your trident glinting. (laughs) It's not them! PERSEUS: We're looking for Hephaestus, the maker of such mighty weapons. Well, should I let them in? He says no! But then he always says no. He always says... no. Ah. Yes. You are Perseus, son of Zeus? Yeah. "Release the Kraken," all of that? (chuckles) Yeah. Who are you? I'm Agenor, son of Poseidon. Agenor. Have you ever heard of Agenor? Never heard of you. Well, your friend may also know me by the name... The Navigator. Navigator? (snorts) Navigator! Still no. Don't worry, son. He says there are many useless demigods. (chuckles): Useless? About as useless as your one-eyed friends? Those cyclops helped me forge the god weapons. Have respect. Navigator? Mm-hmm. Hold on, 'cause... Poseidon dead? Zeus captured? The words don't even sit together. We need your help to rescue Zeus, so he can stop Kronos. (chuckles, snorts) That's the plan, is it? (chuckles) Right! Right! Well, in that case, we'd best prepare. For what? The end of the bloody world. Kronos will dismantle the Earth. You'll be scattered across the universe. Fantastic. You forged these weapons right here for the gods. You must be able to help us. Shut it! How could I, when I have no godly power anymore? Who's he talking to? Don't you walk away from me. His all-powerful father took it away from me when I sided with Hades in a little family argument. Yes, I know now it was a mistake! People forget! In the beginning, Hades was-was wise and just and strong. It were your daddy became drunk on power. We were even hoping when Zeus came, he might see his mistake and restore our... Why not? He might've, had he come! (rumbling) I'm sorry that you think being human is not enough. But we humans hope when there's no hope. And we believe when to believe is idiotic. But sometimes, in spite of everything, we prevail. Now... ...which of you two is in charge? I-I am. Then... if we were gods, how would you help us free Zeus? Oh, my dear. You remind me of someone. Aphrodite. She was my wife. Come with me. If Zeus is captive in the underworld, he's likely being held in the heart of Tartarus. (globe creaking) There can't be much time before his life force is completely sapped. ANDROMEDA: But how do we get to him? We can't. Normally, you'd be right, young man. (globe rumbling) But when I designed this marvel, I included a secret passage. A shortcut, if you will. You designed Tartarus? Oh, aye. And built it. Aphrodite, I could not only get you inside, I could give you a dandy tour. In order for the prison of Tartarus to be completely impregnable, I built it from the outside in. So I had to leave a passage for meself to get out when the work was done. And this labyrinth is the only way a human can travel through the underworld and get to the heart of Tartarus. (rumbling) ZEUS: Where's my snarling bastard of a son Ares? Will Kronos really spare him? And you... Is there no end to this? I'm afraid, brother. Is that what you want me to say? I'm a god and I'm afraid. Well, you should be! When your precious humans die, at least their souls go to another place. When a god dies, it isn't death. It's just absence. It's nothing. (distant, deep growling) It's oblivion. It's oblivion. (whispers): Perseus. (deep growling) ZEUS (whispers): Perseus. Father. I'm close. Stay with me. You see, if you align the edges correctly, it gives you a shifting depiction of the interior. Can I say, that is a masterpiece. Well, useful to a point. -Would you let a lowly navigator hold it? -No. Well, you are the son of Poseidon. He's the one who taught me to navigate. That and how to seduce a mermaid, which seemed grander at the time. It came in handy more often than you'd think. Thing to do is don't talk to her. No, talk to her friend... (voice fades) Navigator, this is the entrance to the labyrinth. There are hundreds of doors, all of which would kill you. (laughs, snorts) Save one. You see, I designed it to play tricks with the mind. After all, the mind is the greatest trap of all. So you've got to control your fears, so you don't turn on yourself or each other, if you want to make it to Tartarus. There it is. There's our door. (rumbling) Everybody back! (rumbling) (grunts) (grunts) Oh. Which one of you prayed to him?! (yells) (screams) (grunts) (screams) (straining) (coughing) You betrayed our father. He betrayed me... by choosing you. (grunts) (stones rumbling) (yells) You beauty! Come on! It won't stay open long! (grunts) (grunts) (stones rumbling) No! Not now! (chuckles) (grunting) Great god Ares, be merciful. It was I who prayed to you. I was always taught to pray for my enemies. I prayed you would find peace in your heart... (sword stabs) (gasping) (grunts) -(grunts) -(yells) We are brothers, but not equal. I've got to give them more time. One last godly thing. Come on! Let's see what you bleed! Perseus! AGENOR: Hephaestus! (grunts) Perseus, the door's closing! Come on! HEPHAESTUS: Ares! Ah, is that all you've got, you snivelling... dog! (groans) Get to the door! (crackling, rumbling) (grunts) (gasping) (grunts) (coughing) (grunting) Oh, Korrina. She was a fool to pray to him. And he was a coward to kill the weak. He has fought in many wars. He's slaughtered innocents for centuries. It's all he knows. I can't beat him. Mutton head, two days ago, I was trapped in a cell in a dungeon. Admittedly, trying to escape. Unbecoming of the son of Poseidon. But today, I'm here. And I'm trying to save the universe. Jump in. Majesty... I realise in a labyrinth with a million possibilities, this is the last thing you want to hear, but... follow me. That way? Or this way? (low rumbling) (low rumbling continues) I don't know how we'll get through this without Hephaestus. (eerie voices whispering) (eerie voices continue whispering) That way. (grunts softly) You might only drive short distances to work each day. You might not drive your car to work at all. You might park securely at work. Or these days, everybody travels to you. Maybe you only do school runs. Or you work from home, so drive mostly on the weekend. At Youi, we get that everyone's not the same, so we tailor your insurance premium to how you use or don't use your car. Call: Or go to youi.co.nz today. 1 This way. VOICE (whispers): Andromeda. ANDROMEDA (whispers): Korrina. (voices continue whispering) No, this should be a corridor. This map makes no sense. VOICE (whispers): Andromeda. (voices continue whispering) There's something in here with us. -Just give me the map. -No. Mighty Kraken slayer. Shouldn't he be somewhere, posing for a statue? Agenor, just give me the map! The map is useless! (stones thumping) (stones rumbling) This way! (stones rumbling) Agenor! I don't know where we're going! This way! (rumbling) Get back! (gasps) Get back! (screams, grunts) Go back! Andromeda! (grunts) Yes. (yells) (panting) (both straining) (panting) Take the weight! (straining) Come on, come on, come on! (coughing) Go! Go! Go! (straining) (gasps) (grunts, panting) (panting) (coughs) It's cold in here, isn't it? You're not real. (distorted whisper) (roars) (grunts) (roars) (roars) (straining) (yells) (panting) (roars) (roars) (laughs) (grunts) (panting) (roars) (shouts) (straining) HELIUS: Why are you doing this? (growling) (Perseus grunts) (exhales heavily) (stones thumping, rumbling) (grunts) (rumbling) (coughs) -Perseus! -Perseus! (panting) What happened? Tartarus. (rumbling) Come on, let's go. Come on. Kronos has his power now. Hades. I am so sorry. For what? For having banished you. Can you forgive me for that? Why do you ask? Because I forgive you for this. Release me, Hades. I know there is still good in you. (grunting) (grunts) You have no pride, Hades. No. I won't let you kill him. Brother. (grunts) You can't stop this. KRONOS (growling): ...Zeus. (grunts) Ares! (Hades screaming) (grunts) (rumbling continues) Come on. (Kronos growling) Go! Go! (thunder rumbles) Father. Father! Father! Open your eyes! Perseus. Perseus, my son. (roars) (grunts) (straining) (Kronos growling) Use the power inside you. (grunts) (rumbling) (Kronos growling) ANDROMEDA: Perseus, hurry! (grunts) (grunting) (deep growling) (yells) (yells) (yells) -Ares! -Andromeda! (rumbling) (yells) Hades, come with us. (growling): Crush you... (grunts) (grunts) (grunts) No! KRONOS (deep growling): Hades...! Weapon-- give it to me. Hold them. (thunder rumbling) 1 (clamouring) (soldiers shouting) Mantius, impressive. You gathered a fine army. I have prepared a royal tent. ANDROMEDA: But is it fit for a god? MAN: Perseus! Great Zeus! Zeus... (Zeus groaning) (sighs) K-Kronos will come for me, Perseus. I don't have the power left to stop him. I wanted to leave the world safe for you. I've failed. I should've come with you. I was just... You pulled me out of Tartarus. You saved me. How do you suppose you did that? -I never stopped thinking about getting home to my son. -Then you use that. Fight for your son. Remember... only the Spear of Trium can defeat Kronos and the hand that holds that spear will have to be yours. (horse neighs in distance) We have two pieces of the Spear of Trium. Poseidon's trident... ...and Hades' pitchfork. So what we need is Zeus's thunderbolt. Which is on Ares' back. Yep. (growling) PERSEUS (voice-over): Ares... brother... I pray to you. Meet me at the Temple of the Gods. You say we're not equal... so come prove to me you're right. (voice-over): Prove to our father that you're right. I hear you, brother. I'll get the spear, you hold him off. Don't give me the big speech. Yeah, I wasn't planning to. (neighs) (soldiers chanting) (neighs) (chanting continues) Our battle plan must be simple. Three lines of defence. Agenor's men will hold the front line from the trenches... AGENOR: Cover every part of yourself, or you'll be burned by the fire. Every piece of cloth, every piece of skin. Help each other. ...phalanxes behind that, and infantry as a last defence. (voice-over): I will lead the infantry myself. And our job is to hold Kronos back for as long as possible, if we're to stand a chance. Dig in! MAN: Positions! Secure positions! (thunder rumbling) (Kronos groaning deeply) (whooshing, rumbling) (panting) Kronos is near. (fireballs whooshing) (soldiers murmuring) (soldiers screaming) (snarling) (yelling) Light the fires! SOLDIER: Light the fires! Hold! (shouting) (roaring) Fire the artillery! Fire! (gruffly speaking native language) (screams) (soldiers screaming) (speaking native language) Brother. Brother. Please don't hurt him. I'm not going to hurt him, I'm going to hurt you. And I want him to watch. I want you to know what it feels like when someone takes your father away from you. (kisses) (distant rumbling) (Perseus yells) (grunting and groaning) -(screams) -(sword clangs onto ground) (grunting) (panting) (panting) (distant explosions booming, rumbling) (grunting) (screaming) (grunting) (growling) (men yelling) Front line, attack! Stay with me! (yelling) (grunting) (yelling) (grunting) (yelling) (rumbling) (exhales) (coughs) (grunts) -(rumbling) -(grunts) So this is what a father would go through for his son? Brother. Brother... I do... forgive you. (rumbling) (whooshing) You look 10,000 years younger. And feel it. Death was circling you. That was the last time I'll have the strength to chase it away. We have the power between us to put on a little display, like in the old days. So shall we finish this? We have no weapons. We had power before we had weapons. -When we were young gods. -Yes. Let's have some fun.

(thunderous booming) (roaring) (yelling) Hold the line! Hold the line! (sizzling) (clanging) The Spear of Trium. (deep growling): Perseus. Hades. Zeus. The first strike's mine, brother. (crackling) (rumbling) (screaming) (whooshing) Perseus! (Pegasus neighing) (neighing) (neighing) (roars) (deep growling) (thunderous footsteps) (Kronos speaking gruffly) Together now, brother.

Perseus! (yells) Perseus! Perseus! Perseus! Perseus! Perseus! . (panting) (pants, groans) He is waiting for you... before he goes. Your boy gave you strength. Yes. As did mine. Perhaps Hades can heal you. You already gave me my last chance. And you sacrificed it for him. There will be no more sacrifices. No more gods. Use your power wisely, Perseus. (sighs softly) Thank you, my son. (skin crackling) All my power is spent. Who knows? I might be stronger without it. (indistinct conversation) I could walk on it, but, you know, my mum always said you should let everyone have their moment to shine, you know? So, you know, I-I'm established. I've already got a name. The Navigator. If I'm not mistaken, you're the son of Perseus. I am Helius. Is that your boy? Helius? (mouthing) Helius! Come here. I've got a story to tell. Come and meet your Uncle Navigator. I'm Agenor. Helius. I've read that you were a great disappointment. That's right, I am great. This is my nurse, Tiger. (chuckles) We have to be prepared if there's another attack, so we're fortifying the north of Argos with the third regiment. Our engines will be ready in two days, so in the west, we can... Dad... I'm actually looking forward to going home. I've decided being a boring fisherman isn't that bad. You know we can't go back home. Take it. You're Helius... the son of Perseus, the grandson of Zeus. Take it. It's heavy. Yeah, it is. Is it too much? No.
