Original subtitles

And you, Odysseus, still wondering?

We were legends once. We fought for something bigger than ourselves.

And for what? Now we're nothing but whispers in the wind, forgotten.

Do they know my name anymore?

Does it matter?

Perhaps not.

I'm just passing through, Achilles.

Shadow in transit.

Caught between the worlds.

Ithaca calls to me.

Penelope waits.

My journey isn't over.

Not yet.

I keep moving.

You remain.

That's our curse, my friend.

I understand.

To have been a warrior, a hero.

Than to come here and fade me to nothing.

A shadow.

I would have rather lived as a simple man.

A farmer.

Or anything else.

Anything but this.

Go to her.

Go home.

Find what you've been chasing all these years.

Live the life we never could.

You always wanted to be.

And maybe that's why you never got it.

The gods never give us what we truly desire.

The gods?

Do you think they still care about us now?

Do you think they even remember us?

Of course they remember us. They have no choice but to remember us.

We gave everything.

Our lives.

Our fate.

For their wars and their whims.

And look where we are.

No, I don't think they care anymore.

The gods are fading.

And maybe... Maybe it's time we fade with them.

It's a curse, you know, being a legend.

You think it'll be worth it.

But when all that's left in the silence of the underworld...

It's just a voice.

Maybe we are not meant to get answers, Achilles.

We did our part.

But the world moves on without us.

That's how it has always been.

And yet, I'm still here.

Still trapped in this place.

Still haunted by Troy.

We all are, my friend.

We all are.

Maybe it's time to stop fighting the gods and just let them do what they

want.

Welcome, Achilles.

I knew you saw what seeds come for before the fates decide the next power.

Cersei, I thought you were only a myth in this realm.

An old pack with forsythia and even myths needs company here.

Let us wash the dust of Hades from your sins.

Drink, warrior.

Let the world fade away.

Tonight, there is only us, my hero.

Yeah, this is what I wanted.

The wine, the touch of women.

Endless... Enjoyments.

Stay, Achilles. Stay and forget the old world and the forgotten better.

No. No.

This is not who I am.

I was not forged for toughness.

You will regret it. Go and find out what your freedom truly costs.

Bye.

Say this.

I assume you didn't come here just to head my office?

I came here to remind you of your responsibility.

I know what you led, but things are complex now.

The thief remembers promises for you.

The world has changed.

People no longer believe in us.

You want Achilles free, but Achilles decides that easily.

I don't care about your excuses.

Achilles is my son, and he deserves to live in a world that he fought for, not

rot for eternity in the underworld.

The gods are fading, and the world no longer believes.

It's a free Achilles. It's not just his freedom. It's tipping the balance.

We didn't ask for this world, Zeus.

You and the other gods abandoned us to this madness, trapped between the

mortal's disbelief and our own fading powers.

But I will not let my son remain in that place any longer. You will free him.

I didn't think you'd still care so much. I thought you would let him go.

The guy jumps out, waits for him.

After all, he's been gone for genders.

He was the leader of the Myrmidons.

And he's my son.

The son of a goddess.

A demigod.

Thetis, freeing a hill means opening a door to a cold world.

I have never let him go.

I've waited for you to act.

And I will wait no longer.

You will release him, or you will know me better.

The gods may never return.

There is no going back.

I don't care about your politics, dude.

I want my son back, and you will give him to me.

They don't want gods walking among them.

Oh, but Gorgons are just fine.

Medusa's power is even growing.

Her power is stronger. Her organization threatens even your own.

Remember who you are talking to.

I thought I was talking to the king of the gods.

But your efforts to quash Medusa's rise are less than zero.

Send Achilles.

Send my son. He is pent up for battle. He can defeat Medusa.

And ensure your legacy on Earth.

You will not, your name will not fade from the history books.

Very well, Sif. You will have him then.

The mortal world doesn't believe in heroes anymore.

Then let them be reminded.

Father, I have a request.

I heard that you do that.

I'm willing to make the deal.

But I need your help to bring him back.

What's in it for me?

Resurrecting a demigod?

What could I possibly gain from it?

Come on, what's the favor between brothers?

Fill the favor.

And I don't give those away like he.

I want to resurrect the healer.

Can you do this? Many more souls in the animal.

A fair trade, I would say.

Fair, perhaps.

But nothing comes without a price.

You owe me more.

I'm just a handful of souls.

Fine. But don't test me, Hades.

It will be done.

He'll awake in a world of strange men.

He'll understand his tongue.

He'll still have his power.

But he'll be dressed like them.

And he'll be older and mortal.

Here he is.

He will wake.

Not here, but somewhere where the modern world meets him.

And Zeus is this.

Where am I? What are these clothes?

How are you?

Are you okay?

Are you drunk?

Sure thing.

Beautiful synonyms. Are you sent by Thetis?

Is this Thetis real?

What are synonyms?

On 230 and deeper.

Oh, this is my place.

Is there something wrong with you?

Who cares, he thought.

I don't know where I am.

I remember the battlefield, the strength of thought, the strength of design.

And then, we entered nothing.

Of the underworld.

How did I end up here?

Maybe you took an Uber.

It's okay, lady.

You can go. I will take it from here. He's mine.

Achilles, are you alright?

Who are you?

I'm Artemis. I'm here to help you.

You've been gone for a long time.

You don't remember anything?

Gone? For a long time?

I remember.

Troy.

The war.

Yes. The god.

Yes.

But this, this is not my world.

It's not. It's the modern world.

You've come back to life, Achilles, in a time that has forgotten your name.

Come back to life?

I don't understand.

You walk in Hyperborea, a land of mists, forests, and northern hearts.

It was once the world of the barbarians, but it has changed.

I still don't like it here.

What of the civilized world? What of Greece?

I want to go back.

Greece is not the Greece you remember.

How long have I been gone?

Many hundreds of years.

They called us the time of machines and cities.

Many hundreds of years?

Yes. That's impossible.

I was in the underworld.

Yes, you were.

But things have changed. The gods, we, we are fading.

The myths, everything.

Thetis, she was asking for your return.

Thetis? My mother.

She sought your freedom.

The mortal world is not as you remember.

It's only a quiet hum of technology, efficiency.

It's... Not like how it's been before.

Everything is about efficiency and hard work.

No heroes, no battles.

I was a warrior, led men to battle, fought for honor.

And now, now I can't even remember how to stand like I used to.

That's the curse of immortality, Achilles.

We're frozen in time while the world moves on.

If I want to just go back to Greece, even if it's in the underworld?

You can't go back to the underworld, Achilles.

They won't welcome you. You were brought here for a reason.

Reason?

There is something you must do here that will shape the fate of the mortals and

gods. I don't want any more tasks. I've had enough of them.

I've given everything for others.

I fought for glory.

I fought for a name, for a place in the stars.

But it's all, all, it's just gone.

It's not about glory anymore. It's about survival.

Achilles, you need to trust me.

Now follow me.

Good evening.

Authorities are investigating a series of brutal and highly unusual

murders happening across the city.

Officials now believe that these crimes are connected to an organization

known as the Medusa Syndicate, a group once dismissed as

rumor.

Several victims have been discovered in a disturbing state being described

as internal calcification, leaving authorities searching for answers.

Law enforcement is urging the public to remain vigilant and to

report anything suspicious to authorities.

covering this important story.

I'm Julia Vance.

Everyone stay safe.

Rest here for a while. You just came from the underworld.

You need time to adjust.

I'm not a man of apartments, of glass and concrete.

No, you were a warrior. But the world doesn't need warriors anymore.

It needs survivors.

You will need a new identity.

People will notice.

Zeus sent you back for a reason.

What reason?

You are not here to just walk on the streets.

You are here for something much bigger.

Medusa's purpose?

A criminal group.

The Medusa Syndicate is rising.

Its leader?

Medusa herself.

Medusa. I remember her. The one with snakes for her.

Cursed by Athena, turned into a monster.

She's no myth.

She's more powerful than anyone else.

Why would Zeus want me to deal with this?

She isn't just a monster.

Now she's built something far more dangerous. An organization.

A messing power.

In the shadows of the mortal and immortal realms.

Good evening.

We're breaking developments on the recent wave of unexplained murders

across the cities.

Authorities are now investigating possible ties between the victims and a

criminal organization calling itself the Medusa Syndicate.

Sources close to the investigation report that several victims were found

partially or entirely petrified.

Forensic experts are baffled, describing the bodies as calcified from the inside

out, a phenomenon they cannot yet explain.

The Medusa Syndicate, once thought to be just another underworld rumour, is

quickly becoming the city's most dangerous threat.

Officials warn citizens to remain vigilant and report any strange

occurrences.

Stay with City Eye News for continuing coverage.

I'm Christina Rose.

Stay safe out there.

So you sent me here to fight some organization?

That's why he needed me?

You're the greatest warrior, Achilles.

The world needs you.

Whether you like it or not.

He didn't bring me back to rest, Artemis.

He brought me back for another battle.

Medusa isn't just a threat to mortals.

She's a threat to everything we fought for, everything we stood for.

And now she's coming for the gods.

What happened to us?

We were forgotten, Achilles.

But that doesn't mean we don't matter.

We just need to find where we fit in this world.

I'm not supposed to be here.

I should be resting.

In peace.

Not this.

Peace, as you remember it, is gone.

We have to adapt, Achilles.

All the myths, everything is gone.

Civilization has reached Hyperborea, but where are the statues, the temples?

Most of them are museums now. People visit them, take photos and that's it.

It doesn't matter anymore.

Is she talking to someone who isn't there?

What the hell?

Who are you?

Thank you. I don't know what I would have done without you.

A killer.

As I live and breathe.

Who in Olympus?

And he decided to let you out?

I thought you were a seer.

Head splitting like a ripe melon.

And he had jobs.

Over 2,000 years would have been pretty far to you.

I wish I were dead again.

They tell, old friend.

We're all here for a good reason.

As one of the greatest actors of modern time said once,

we all have a special set of skills.

Who would listen to an actor?

What did you do?

I caught you up with two centuries of knowledge.

Hello, mother.

It will come to you.

And what is this?

The modern world.

I see great things for you.

Great purposes.

Come Achilles, we have much to do.

Achilles, you are not here.

What's wrong, Achilles?

Is everything all right?

I don't know.

I feel something I never felt before.

Maybe it's pain.

But wait.

Aren't you immortal?

I think I'm not only older, but I also

lost my immortality.

Mother.

I felt it.

The moment you returned.

The world stirred.

The world moved. The gods stirred.

But I didn't believe it. Till I saw you.

It's been centuries.

But they knew you would return, son of Peter.

Thousands of years, and you still manage to find trouble the second your feet

land.

Mother, I feel pain.

I think I'm mortal.

No, not you.

Not my son.

What did Zeus do?

A bit of trickery, I guess.

I will not let him take you from me again.

Not like this.

I hate to admit it, but maybe we do need some additional support.

Ah, the great Achilles. He admits that he has a heel.

I admit that some battles require an army.

Even if it's just an army of two?

Three.

I know of someone who may help.

Atalanta? The Huntress?

I thought...

She disappeared after the fall of Arcadia.

She didn't disappear.

She walked away.

Atalanta has modernized her hunting skills.

She still fights in the shadows and fights modern-day monsters.

I'm not sure she'll be eager to join us.

Nonsense. She hates Medusa more than any of us after she turned her lover to

stone.

We're still going to do Zeus' bidding?

Wait, a crime alert?

Another day, another slew of bodies discovered across the city, including

these victims.

Some with petrified limbs, all turned completely.

into stone, all with looks of horror on their faces.

Please link these deaths to the so-called Medusa Syndicate, a rising

underworld power with a seemingly unquenchable thirst for violence and

power.

Residents are being urged to stay vigilant, report any unusual activity,

and avoid areas known to be linked to the Syndicate.

Stay tuned!

We'll be back with more updates on this developing story.

This is Donna Lane reporting live for the Big City Channel.

Back to you.

Medusa must be stopped.

For humanity's sake.

A plant like me, Achilles.

Achilles? He has been dead for over 2,000 years. You know each other?

Yeah, we both trained under Kiran. And maybe a little more?

Yeah, she was the only one in Huron's camp I couldn't outrun or outfight.

Or outlove, apparently.

That was thousands of years ago.

Still thing.

Can we focus on the task?

Atlanta, we are hunting Medusa.

It's about time. Why are we wasting time here?

Oh,

don't there

is

Thank you.

We're on alert. Door's open.

She wasn't always stone.

She's here. All right.

We're close.

Perfect. Thank you for the nightmare.

Atalanta.

Can you feel it? The numbness?

The heaviness?

As one of the modern bards sang, we're all just another brick in the wall.

You really don't give up, do you?

When did you get it that we are just still pawns for the gods?

You are just Zeus' errant boy.

We don't always get to choose our destiny.

Is it that?

Or do you have to involve yourself into war after war?

It's in your blood, in your soul.

How many lovers do you have to lose to let that sink?

Yeah, okay, and how many times do I have to kill you for you to say that?

You don't want that.

Let's spill some blood and call it purpose.

No. Let you and me finish what we started.

Let's fight as warriors, one on one, with honor.

Noble Achilles, the man who dragged my corpse through the dust, now wants to

fight with honor?

Fine.

Let us do battle.

Artemis, take care of her. I'll be back in a minute.

Here, take a look at yourself, bitch.

You really think that in the time of selfies I haven't gotten used to my own

reflection?

We don't need those two.

I'm sorry for what I did to you at Troy.

Kill me!

I'm not me.

I'm bound to her.

I'm a slave to her.

Free me.

What? You're a slave of Medusa?

Please, brother.

End it.

No! Stop it!

Atlanta! She's screaming.

Let's go.

If it isn't the son of Thetis, sent to do the god's dirty work.

What happened to your snake?

She stays only on Halloween, your hero from antiquity.

Leave her alone, now!

Surely you've figured it out.

Theus and I are working together.

He works the Olympus of the financial district, and I the shadows and slumps

of the underworld.

Hector, I'm disappointed in you.

I was a warrior before I was your puppet.

And now, I cut him with strength.

So be it. You can try and be as cheap of history along with your former nemesis.

In Artemis, by throwing with this boy, don't you know this is the era of

woman's empowerment?

I'm not looking for power. I'm looking for justice.

Fine. Fight with this old man, with his antiquated relic.

I wouldn't be so sure.

This old dog has learned a new trick.

You can't kill me, you idiot.

It's boring here.

I gotta go to a party.

Bye.

Atlanta, are you okay?

Yeah, I feel better now.

Here you go, brother.

For the pteranodon.

This time, I carry you with honor.

Thetis! Achilles!

Artemis, Atalanta. I wasn't expecting our reunion.

You should be.

We've come for answers.

Speak.

Medusa. He convinced her to surrender with the help of some great lady.

I see.

He has done well.

You might want to ask your old friend Hades how he arranged it.

I had no choice.

You don't understand.

I understand perfectly.

You made a deal with Hades.

You freed me from the underworld at a price I wasn't told.

I did what I had to do.

The underworld doesn't give it to you.

I did it for your mother and to protect Olympus.

Protect Olympus or protect yourself?

Don't fool yourself, Zeus.

Hades is playing you.

He's always playing you.

You don't understand.

I've been keeping something locked away.

Enough with the cryptic threats, Zeus.

Speak plainly.

Something alter has been summoned and is coming for all of us.

There may be a way, the oracle. She knows more than anyone.

The oracle?

She may have grown more dangerous than Medusa.

The sea has had its support just before the world broke.

When the time comes, don't say I didn't warn you.

We don't flinch. We fight.

We'll be ready.

Let's go. Time to visit the Orchid.

He might have a deal with harder, but the real war is just beginning.
