Father, look how bright this one is.

Yes, it's a pearlescent nautilus shell. A rare specimen.

How was your catch today?

Good. Someone is waiting for us to break her mould.

Meet me upstairs.

Ready?

Who is she?

She is a mystery.

An idea that comes alive in my hands.

My purpose is to shape it.

Give it form and character.

Once completed, it no longer does my bidding.

It eludes me to seek her own meaning.

Many a time my sculptures have a greater imagination than I do.

We have a big day tomorrow.

You are coming with me to the palace.

We'll bring the sculpture to the queen.

And since you're about to come out of your shell...

But how did you make the thread go through all the chambers?

I asked my little aunt.

Never stop looking for answers my son.

Come.

Masterful, Daedalus. I can barely conceal the effect you have on me.

The clay comes to life in your hands.

Look, she breathes.

Master, the king awaits you I'll be back in a moment

to see our sculpture?

No, Queen Pasipha asked for this piece.

The Queen looked happy to see it.

Are you also a friend of the king?

He is the king.

I am his inventor.

The palace of Knossos, which we visited today, I conceived it at the king's

demand.

He should be satisfied.

Where is he?

Minos is at war.

He lost his elder son at the games in Athens two years ago.

And his son meant everything to the king.

He will never forgive the Greeks.

What is he going to do?

Avenge his son.

So does the king need another sculpture?

What the king has asked of me is not yet of this world.

It is my duty to invent it.

This spindle of wool is for the princess, who can deliver it to the

You know the way by now.

is playing tricks.

I asked for a lover, not a child.

What do you want?

I am Icarus, son of Daedalus. Yes, I know that.

Oh, I need a breather.

Refreshment! Flowers!

Indulge me.

I was supposed to find the princess.

That is you.

Arianne? I am she.

And I must thank you for distracting me from this dreadful rehearsal.

My musicians are tormenting me.

If only they had your father's talent.

Oh, is that for me?

Here. I believe this will help you weave your dress.

Icarus, you're a doll.

My servants take care of my tailoring. Run along and find them. Away, quick

Where will I...

I was waiting for you, bird.

Thank you.

What are you weaving in your hand?

What am I weaving in my hand?

Thank you.

Bye, Father.

I am waiting for you.

I'm here.

Come.

Is it you speaking inside my head?

Does that mean you can hear me too?

Who are you?

Why is the king hurting you? Can I... No!

Stay! Come back!

refuge. I taste life again.

Servant, my bath turns cold.

Oh, I should have recognized that particular aroma with my eyes closed.

You reek of the cow sheds.

Good evening, Mother.

Watch your tongue, my child.

You are not immune to the hazards of fortune.

Perhaps a little hot water will warm your heart.

You're concerned for my well -being now, are you? You've remembered you have a

daughter? My body remembers.

When I carried you, our hearts beat in harmony.

Those lovely times.

Someone else ago.

I understand your detachment.

I must seem like a distant memory.

Cold water.

Nothing more. invigorating.

It would be a pity to deprive yourself.

The bird is still yet to fly.

What bird are you talking about?

But I'm not a bird.

I'm a boy.

Not yet free.

But you're the one surrounded by four walls.

Everything I need is here.

I promise I'll come back every day.

Everything I need is here.

Asterion! No!

Let me stay. Let us count the stars again.

The only one that counts is yours.

Mine?

The one that doesn't glow at night.

How will I recognize it?

How will I recognize it?

I know I haven't been there for you in a long time.

Tomorrow, the King's construction will come to an end.

We'll work together again, like before.

I'll give you new riddles to solve.

Now, go get some sleep. I have a task for you in the morning.

Oh, and does this belong to you?

I'll keep it for now.

I don't want you to get hurt.

This storeroom needs to be put in order.

You can start organizing the sculptures.

I'll be back in a few hours.

Stay away.

Asterion?

Pathetic creature.

I have kept you in the shadows, in the bowels of my palace hidden from the

world. Now it is time for you to shine.

Athens will soon be paying its heavy toll.

Seven girls and seven boys.

Every year the Greeks will sacrifice their finest youth to me.

And it is you who will give me my vengeance.

The monster of Kree.

Why, why not?

What are you doing? It's a reckless one.

Tyrion, we must save him.

There is nothing to save.

Everything is in its rightful place.

It is not he who is imprisoned.

And Tyrion is the man who covers their madness.

Why did my father do this?

Your father is following the line drawn by fate.

But you, Icarus, you still have a choice.

I see his light in your eyes.

Find another star, Icarus. It will shine for both of you. But what star? Do not

lose yourself in the night. Go!

But because...

He doesn't look like that.

I know.

Things aren't always what they seem.

I don't want any more of your riddles.

And I don't... I don't want to work with you anymore.

I am your father.

You will do as I say.

My land is soaked in the blood of you

You are well -versed in my nobility as much as my daring.

My victory will wrench your grip on my city.

Easy, my boy.

You see, your royal blood brings an unhopeful finishing touch to my

But we are not animals.

You will be received as our guest, not an enemy, owing as much to your rank as

your beauty.

Enough talking.

Show me your minotaur.

And when I spill his blood, Minos, you will thank me for purging you of your

shame.

Oh, what a

joy you

are! Did you know I was the son of Zeus?

In one word, I make the universe!

to impress me.

Sad little king, your death will make me happy.

My creator, god of the sea, will bestow his glory on me.

This ball has what's more, I believe the rumors said, inviting stamina into the

king's own bed.

If you are worthy of your name, or if demigod that you are.

Unbelievable.

Have you lost all reason?

You're going to pick up and replace each vase.

Yeah.

Do your own slave work.

of death and birth again.

And because I ignored me.

What more could he ask for?

I am all.

What could he not? I am all.

Your heart may resist me no more.

I will find a way.

The oracle hath spoken.

I can't believe my ears.

He once agreed to my mother's unspeakable request, and tonight you

help me? If Theseus wants to battle the Minotaur, he will have to enter the

labyrinth and he will lose himself.

There is nothing I can do for him.

Battle the Minotaur?

But if Tyrion is not a... No, I cannot let it happen.

Cedalus, listen to the agony I'm in. Did you not invent the...

I'm afraid that is out of the question.

Oh, damn your sculptures!

Ruin your heart of stone!

Ariadne, if I can give you the plan, will you take me to Theseus?

Think carefully.

What you hold in your hands is my work.

Come, put back the plans where you found them, and I'll forget all about it.

Forget?

It's so easy for you, isn't it?

Because you design, you craft, you build.

But what for?

What are you weaving in your hand?

Art cannot be burdened by such sentiments.

Art? Well, look behind you, Father.

See the carnage you have left in your wake.

For 16 years, I've dedicated myself to passing on everything I know, and

you still do not understand.

I understand that I got things wrong.

I believed in your light, Father.

You... You left me in the dark.

To think that it was I who worried about being a bad son.

How dare you? No one will betray the ludicrous of my labyrinth!

The shadow of my mother. The truth casts its light on us, Ariane. It is so late.

The night is grave. Go to bed.

Yes, Mother, the night is dark.

But so full of promise.

Where will it end?

What's the point of sleeping when you're tired to pretend?

Slumber will find you before it comes to me. Ariane, have you seen your father?

I must speak with him.

Oh.

So the night of possibilities is upon us. Mysteries and prophecies rise up,

to life. If everything goes as intended, Icarus brings me the plans. I run to

Theseus, and I hone my arguments.

Civil absence, then. My heart forgives him, and his heart chooses me.

Far away we sail, and the people of Greece bow down. The greatest beauty

ever seen. I no longer answer to the name of Arianne.

What do you call me?

Father, do you believe my taste to be so poor? As if.

You are not blind.

He's golden locks.

He's brazen physique.

If your gaze delights in him, who could blame it?

Oh, Poppycock, this Neanderthal Greek is so full of himself.

Not my type at all.

Splendid! So you won't give a damn when you watch on as he is swallowed up by

the labyrinth tomorrow.

Be tight, my child.

You're dancing.

Exquisite. As always.

Oh, father, it would pain me to disappoint you.

No, no, no, no.

I do not fancy you, Theseus.

That's all I have left. My father burned his plans.

So everything is lost.

Ariane, stop.

Where is Theseus?

Don't even say his name, you wretched boy.

Ariane, breathe.

Would that I were Athenian.

Would that I were free to throw off this masquerade.

Be beautiful.

Sing.

Dance.

Smile.

How can a thing be so sad and so beautiful?

Oh,

good

heavens! It's him!

What have you infiltrated into my bedchamber? A relic from that monster?

You call him a monster?

Mysterion is my brother.

Arianne, your father is a murderer.

He has blinded you.

Can't you see he is the monster?

Oh, Icarus.

I don't know if I should fear or cherish your words.

I didn't come to convince you.

I must talk to Theseus.

He will understand.

But what fate do you have in mind for the prince?

Without the plans, he'll never find his way out of the labyrinth.

And I've seen us leaving together, hand in hand.

But to let go of his hand is to lose him.

Arianne, the spindle my father gave you, do you still have it?

Don't forget our agreement.

Trust me.

I cannot conceal the pleasure your visit bestows on me.

I've lost my appetite.

Since the sight of me inspires disgust, I'll make it brief.

Theseus will not back down from anything to save his people. Do not permit him

entry into the labyrinth.

And what delicious beverage so intoxicates me that I hear such sweet

ears? An order from the queen.

I had no idea you had become so close to the enemy.

Though you are hardly famed for your loyalty.

Minus, kill Theseus before it is too late. Save Crete from this insult.

So many efforts to come here and defend the honor of Knossos.

And here you are, reptile, begging me.

Athens took your son.

Don't let her take mine.

Pityful! Do you think for one second that you despicable mongrel matters?

That your treachery deserves my pity?

Let him die!

We need to create a diversion.

No, no, no, no. Wait here.

I will go and fetch him.

You have given me inspiration this evening, Icarus.

May it not desert me.

Really? Is that how you greet a princess where you come from? I expect nothing

but ruse and deception from the daughter of Minos.

Who do you take me for?

It was sheer curiosity that lured me here to look more closely at the face of

reckless bravery.

I said face.

Yours is incapable of lying.

You're rather ahead of yourself to be celebrating my victory against the

Minotaur. No doubt I must have reason to count on it.

Test me out.

Oh, I'm really not in the mood to finish off another creature.

Only half a reckless man, then.

At last I understand the amputated nature of the demigods.

You insult my blood when it resists your charms.

And yet, my appetite is awakening.

Would you take me for your last meal?

Never. I can go without.

I'll leave the Athenian boar to his own devices.

I shall be gone.

A proud woman only stiffens my indifference.

Eddia Prince, my dance offends you. I'll draw the curtain.

Arianne, stay.

Fortune has guided you this far.

Let her speak plainly.

Only if your eyes promise not to turn away again.

Ah, the vow.

The poison of women whose antidote is pleasure.

Theseus, in the heart of a labyrinth, is not venom preferable to agony?

My daring will guide me.

In the meandering night, your eyes will seek in vain.

Only touch will save you.

Prince of Athens, take the hand I offer you.

and see our destinies forever entwined.

I assure you, it is my natural color.

Daedalus.

Yes, yes.

My witness.

That night.

In the forest.

I was there with you.

The beloved will find a place among the stars.

Won't they?

I don't know.

And I fear my talents are no longer of use to you now.

Not even to find...

Ligurus, wait!

Passive.

What have we done?

I entrust this horn to you.

You alone can venture into the center of the labyrinth.

When you find him in the dark, I hope it will glow.

And if it glows, you will see the truth.

And you will be saved.

Theseus, the labyrinth awaits.

Let the princess lead the dance.

Don't waste any time.

If we come out of this trial alive, perhaps you will follow us.

I think my place is elsewhere.

But I will prepare the ship for your escape.

We'll see you then on the pier when we set sail.

No.

Thank you.

I thought I lost you.

I might have lost myself.

He was my only friend.

Nothing's lost forever.

Things end to start anew.

The way out of the labyrinth is to follow your own truth.

My truth?

How will I recognize it?

Haven't you been weaving it all along?

If Asterion still exists, I trust that you will find him.

Aren't we all made of the same matter?

The earth and the air, the ants.

Each piece is a mystery, an idea that comes alive in my hands.

I shape it, give it form and character.

Yet once completed, it no longer does my bidding.

It breaks free to meet its own destiny.

Its imagination is far greater than mine.

I can't believe it, my brother.

Blinding life, unlike no other.

A prison there was none, no more than there was fire.
