00:00:26,134 --> 00:00:28,658
<i>NARRATOR:</i>
<i>Hear now the song of Troy,</i>

2
00:00:28,745 --> 00:00:32,053
<i>and of the years</i>
<i>the sea would not forget.</i>

3
00:00:32,140 --> 00:00:35,056
<i>Long ago, the kingdoms </i>
<i>of Greece united</i>

4
00:00:35,143 --> 00:00:36,753
<i>in a common cause...</i>

5
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,755
<i>summoned by oath and honor.</i>

6
00:00:40,670 --> 00:00:44,674
<i>Their kings gathered</i>
<i>a mighty fleet</i>

7
00:00:44,761 --> 00:00:47,894
<i>and sailed across the sea</i>
<i>to the great city of Troy.</i>

8
00:00:50,549 --> 00:00:53,509
<i>Its walls higher</i>
<i>than any siege tower,</i>

9
00:00:53,596 --> 00:00:56,686
<i> </i><i>thick enough that no battering</i><i> </i>
<i>ram could break them.</i>

10
00:00:56,773 --> 00:00:59,645
<i>A city that should</i>
<i>never have fallen.</i>

11
00:00:59,732 --> 00:01:04,955
<i>At its heart was Helen, wife</i>
<i>of Menelaus, king of Sparta,</i>

12
00:01:05,042 --> 00:01:08,306
<i>and when the Trojan prince</i>
<i>Paris carried her away,</i>

13
00:01:08,393 --> 00:01:12,397
<i>the kingdoms of Greece</i>
<i>arose as one.</i>

14
00:01:12,484 --> 00:01:18,099
<i>For ten long years,</i>
<i>they lay siege to Troy.</i>

15
00:01:18,186 --> 00:01:20,753
<i>Though countless warriors</i>
<i>fought and died,</i>

16
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,713
<i> </i><i>the city remained unconquered.</i>

17
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,282
<i>But where armies had failed,</i>
<i>cunning would prevail.</i>

18
00:01:27,369 --> 00:01:29,327
<i>Under the cover of darkness,</i>

19
00:01:29,414 --> 00:01:32,809
<i>Odysseus set a daring</i>
<i>plan into motion.</i>

20
00:01:32,896 --> 00:01:36,073
<i>Greek warriors entered</i>
<i>the city unseen.</i>

21
00:01:42,645 --> 00:01:46,518
<i>By dawn, Troy was</i>
<i>consumed by fire,</i>

22
00:01:46,605 --> 00:01:50,261
<i>and the long war</i>
<i>had come to an end.</i>

23
00:01:50,348 --> 00:01:53,830
<i>Yet for Odysseus,</i>
<i>patient as the tide,</i>

24
00:01:53,917 --> 00:01:56,093
<i>and cunning beyond all others,</i>

25
00:01:56,180 --> 00:01:59,314
<i>the longest journey</i>
<i>was just beginning.</i>

26
00:02:00,141 --> 00:02:01,707
The King!

27
00:02:01,794 --> 00:02:03,405
King Odysseus!

28
00:02:03,492 --> 00:02:06,451
Our men are gone,
but Troy is fallen,

29
00:02:06,538 --> 00:02:08,018
and our battle is won.

30
00:02:08,105 --> 00:02:09,628
Where are we going?

31
00:02:09,715 --> 00:02:11,587
Home.
To my kingdom.

32
00:02:11,674 --> 00:02:14,024
To my son. My wife.

33
00:02:14,111 --> 00:02:15,330
You may join me.

34
00:02:15,417 --> 00:02:17,158
Be an advisor
in my court.

35
00:02:17,245 --> 00:02:22,511
For your bravery in this
terrible war, I will ensure

36
00:02:22,598 --> 00:02:24,991
you will want for nothing
for the rest of your life.

37
00:02:25,078 --> 00:02:27,559
Thank you, my King.

38
00:02:27,646 --> 00:02:29,822
It would be my honor.

39
00:02:29,909 --> 00:02:32,434
The journey will not be easy.

40
00:02:32,521 --> 00:02:36,046
I will swim if I must,
but I will get home.

41
00:02:39,484 --> 00:02:40,355
Trojans!

42
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:43,532
If the gods are willing.

43
00:03:13,257 --> 00:03:16,913
Tell me, O Muse,
the man of many devices,

44
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,133
who wandered full
many ways after he had

45
00:03:20,221 --> 00:03:23,702
sacked the great
citadel of Troy.

46
00:03:23,789 --> 00:03:26,227
Home, then.

47
00:03:26,314 --> 00:03:27,967
Lest I have not honored the gods

48
00:03:28,054 --> 00:03:30,579
enough to receive
the reward I deserve.

49
00:03:33,495 --> 00:03:36,237
Greetings, Odysseus.

50
00:03:36,324 --> 00:03:37,629
The good man.

51
00:03:37,716 --> 00:03:38,804
Bright-eyed Athena.

52
00:03:38,891 --> 00:03:41,154
Goddess on high.

53
00:03:41,242 --> 00:03:42,678
Clever, maybe.

54
00:03:42,765 --> 00:03:44,332
Clever is better than good.

55
00:03:44,419 --> 00:03:45,376
Not just clever.

56
00:03:46,769 --> 00:03:50,773
Brutal, decisive,
and ingenious.

57
00:03:50,860 --> 00:03:54,124
Hiding your soldiers
in the gift of a wooden horse,

58
00:03:54,211 --> 00:03:55,821
your Trojan horse.

59
00:03:55,908 --> 00:03:58,911
Taking the city by surprise
from the inside out.

60
00:03:58,998 --> 00:04:00,217
Your greatest work.

61
00:04:00,304 --> 00:04:02,437
It did what it was made to do.

62
00:04:02,524 --> 00:04:04,308
But I cannot look behind.

63
00:04:04,395 --> 00:04:07,006
As any craftsman
worth his salt, I pray

64
00:04:07,093 --> 00:04:09,618
that my greatest
work lies ahead.

65
00:04:09,705 --> 00:04:11,794
Perhaps it does.

66
00:04:11,881 --> 00:04:15,841
So home, then. Ithaca.
To your wife.

67
00:04:15,928 --> 00:04:17,234
Your city.

68
00:04:17,321 --> 00:04:19,715
Yes, the only
journey worth the fight.

69
00:04:19,802 --> 00:04:21,630
Are you coming with me, Athena?

70
00:04:21,717 --> 00:04:24,023
Or is there another
reason for this visit?

71
00:04:24,110 --> 00:04:26,678
I come to bring you a warning.

72
00:04:26,765 --> 00:04:30,813
The gods,
they are fickle, Odysseus.

73
00:04:30,900 --> 00:04:34,686
They will not make your
journey home an easy one.

74
00:04:34,773 --> 00:04:38,255
Your trials will be
their entertainment.

75
00:04:38,342 --> 00:04:41,084
They know now that
you are a clever man.

76
00:04:41,171 --> 00:04:43,173
They are jealous.

77
00:04:43,260 --> 00:04:46,655
They will use this against
you to show their power.

78
00:04:48,570 --> 00:04:51,050
Curse me or bless me,
Goddess on high.

79
00:04:51,137 --> 00:04:53,357
But be quick about it.

80
00:04:53,444 --> 00:04:55,620
In due time.

81
00:04:55,707 --> 00:04:58,144
And so begins your odyssey.

82
00:04:58,231 --> 00:05:00,538
And the game of the gods.

83
00:05:02,584 --> 00:05:04,455
Then pray for me, goddess.

84
00:05:04,542 --> 00:05:06,849
For I must reach home.

85
00:05:06,936 --> 00:05:08,633
For my kingdom.

86
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:09,678
My everything.

87
00:05:09,765 --> 00:05:12,811
My son. My wife.

88
00:05:12,898 --> 00:05:14,073
My world will be gone.

89
00:05:29,611 --> 00:05:31,787
I am looking for men.

90
00:05:31,874 --> 00:05:33,789
A crew for a dangerous journey.

91
00:05:35,747 --> 00:05:37,967
One the gods themselves
may turn their will against.

92
00:05:41,753 --> 00:05:45,191
Once I am home,
as king of Ithaca,

93
00:05:45,278 --> 00:05:49,935
I assure you each will
receive a suitable reward.

94
00:05:51,850 --> 00:05:55,027
You will never want for anything
for the rest of your lives.

95
00:05:56,725 --> 00:05:58,204
You have the word
of the king himself.

96
00:06:01,947 --> 00:06:04,472
A generous offer and reward.

97
00:06:04,559 --> 00:06:05,734
But are you as
good as your word?

98
00:06:07,736 --> 00:06:09,085
Polites!

99
00:06:09,172 --> 00:06:11,000
You look a little
bit past your prime.

100
00:06:11,087 --> 00:06:13,263
- By the gods!
- Old man.

101
00:06:13,350 --> 00:06:15,134
After all this time.

102
00:06:15,221 --> 00:06:17,006
All this time and you still
haven’t gotten any better

103
00:06:17,093 --> 00:06:18,268
at motivational speeches.

104
00:06:19,791 --> 00:06:23,447
Absolute crickets
from you as well.

105
00:06:23,534 --> 00:06:25,971
This is a man who has saved
my life on numerous occasions.

106
00:06:26,058 --> 00:06:29,627
A debt we have both repaid
each other more than once

107
00:06:29,714 --> 00:06:32,587
in a war that has lasted
more than five years.

108
00:06:36,417 --> 00:06:37,722
Although it’s closer to ten now.

109
00:06:42,597 --> 00:06:44,163
But these days,

110
00:06:44,250 --> 00:06:47,906
I am much better collecting
scars than I am glory.

111
00:06:47,993 --> 00:06:50,909
But, you will find plenty
of much younger,

112
00:06:50,996 --> 00:06:53,651
probably not as bright men
more than willing to join you.

113
00:06:53,738 --> 00:06:55,479
But probably not here,

114
00:06:55,566 --> 00:06:57,568
sipping goblets in
the middle of the day.

115
00:06:57,655 --> 00:06:59,048
And the rest here,

116
00:06:59,135 --> 00:07:00,658
well, they know not
the true cost of war,

117
00:07:00,745 --> 00:07:03,182
though they may be eager.

118
00:07:03,269 --> 00:07:05,315
- As once we were.
- As we once were.

119
00:07:05,402 --> 00:07:08,666
Listening to our fathers
and our grandfathers stories.

120
00:07:08,753 --> 00:07:11,713
And just more than
willing to prove ourselves.

121
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,454
Can I trust them?

122
00:07:13,541 --> 00:07:14,933
About as much as
you can trust me.

123
00:07:16,892 --> 00:07:19,329
All I know is that what’s
waiting for you back in Ithaca,

124
00:07:19,416 --> 00:07:20,765
now that is your reward.

125
00:07:20,852 --> 00:07:22,288
And you deserve it, too.

126
00:07:22,375 --> 00:07:23,376
But for the rest of us...

127
00:07:26,728 --> 00:07:30,166
Join me.
I need men who I can trust.

128
00:07:30,253 --> 00:07:32,385
Men with
experience in battle.

129
00:07:32,473 --> 00:07:33,996
No, no, no. I will not be
going to any battle.

130
00:07:34,083 --> 00:07:35,824
Or any wars.
Ever again.

131
00:07:35,911 --> 00:07:38,000
I am unpersuadable.
I cannot be persuaded.

132
00:07:38,087 --> 00:07:40,872
Did I mention the gold?

133
00:07:40,959 --> 00:07:43,396
Well, did I mention
unpersuaded?

134
00:07:43,484 --> 00:07:44,441
When do we start?

135
00:07:44,528 --> 00:07:45,529
As soon as we recruit two more.

136
00:07:45,616 --> 00:07:46,835
- Two more?
- Yes.

137
00:07:46,922 --> 00:07:48,271
Okay. Let’s go.

138
00:07:50,229 --> 00:07:52,057
Alkimos the Navigator.

139
00:07:52,144 --> 00:07:55,408
From what I heard, he was
the one that saved a ship

140
00:07:55,496 --> 00:07:57,149
of fishermen from a cyclone.

141
00:07:57,236 --> 00:07:58,847
Really?

142
00:07:58,934 --> 00:08:01,806
I’ve heard of you,
King Odysseus.

143
00:08:01,893 --> 00:08:03,852
What have you heard?

144
00:08:03,939 --> 00:08:06,985
That you, sacker of cities,
son of Laertes,

145
00:08:07,072 --> 00:08:09,466
are favored by the gods.

146
00:08:09,553 --> 00:08:13,601
Not all the gods.
One or two. Maybe less.

147
00:08:13,688 --> 00:08:15,385
You survived the Trojan War.

148
00:08:15,472 --> 00:08:17,169
You’re a king.

149
00:08:17,256 --> 00:08:19,302
The King of Ithaca.

150
00:08:19,389 --> 00:08:21,304
I have a family
that comes from Ithaca.

151
00:08:21,391 --> 00:08:23,785
I haven’t seen them
since I was little.

152
00:08:23,872 --> 00:08:24,786
You know, my king--

153
00:08:24,873 --> 00:08:26,091
I’m not king today.

154
00:08:29,094 --> 00:08:30,487
But if you help me
get home, I will be.

155
00:08:35,274 --> 00:08:37,625
I’m a good navigator.

156
00:08:37,712 --> 00:08:39,409
But you mentioned gold.

157
00:08:39,496 --> 00:08:40,802
Did I?

158
00:08:40,889 --> 00:08:43,239
Oh. You did. Yes.
You mentioned gold.

159
00:08:43,326 --> 00:08:44,849
He mentioned gold.

160
00:08:44,936 --> 00:08:45,937
Hmm.

161
00:08:46,024 --> 00:08:48,026
I don’t seek gold.

162
00:08:48,113 --> 00:08:49,898
I’m bored.

163
00:08:49,985 --> 00:08:52,074
Bored of fishing
boats filled with old men

164
00:08:52,161 --> 00:08:54,337
with putrid smelling cargo.

165
00:08:56,687 --> 00:08:57,819
I seek adventure.

166
00:08:57,906 --> 00:08:59,472
New shores.

167
00:08:59,560 --> 00:09:01,692
Like in the stories.

168
00:09:01,779 --> 00:09:02,824
Stories about you.

169
00:09:07,959 --> 00:09:09,700
Then join me,

170
00:09:09,787 --> 00:09:12,877
and we will make stories
that they will never forget.

171
00:09:12,964 --> 00:09:16,925
And I promise you, it will
be anything but boring.

172
00:09:17,012 --> 00:09:20,058
And once we reach Ithaca,
you can join my guard

173
00:09:20,145 --> 00:09:23,235
and help me protect
our fair kingdom.

174
00:09:23,322 --> 00:09:24,236
My king.

175
00:09:26,282 --> 00:09:28,197
Now, how are you at fighting?

176
00:09:28,284 --> 00:09:29,720
I can handle my own.

177
00:09:29,807 --> 00:09:31,635
But if you want a
force to be reckoned with,

178
00:09:31,722 --> 00:09:33,681
you want to
recruit Eurylochus,

179
00:09:33,768 --> 00:09:35,639
I’ve never seen another
man fight quite like he has.

180
00:09:38,642 --> 00:09:40,949
We’ll pay him a visit next.

181
00:09:44,561 --> 00:09:46,650
So what say you, Eurylochus?

182
00:09:46,737 --> 00:09:49,653
I have killed a lot of
men to protect my home.

183
00:09:49,740 --> 00:09:51,960
War has plagued our
country for many years.

184
00:09:56,007 --> 00:09:57,879
How are you at sea?

185
00:09:57,966 --> 00:10:00,882
I’m a fast swimmer, and
even faster with a sword.

186
00:10:00,969 --> 00:10:02,492
Hm. Is that so?

187
00:10:02,579 --> 00:10:03,667
Hm.

188
00:10:05,190 --> 00:10:06,670
But now that
the war is over,

189
00:10:06,757 --> 00:10:09,107
I’ve found work at a
vineyard up the road.

190
00:10:09,194 --> 00:10:11,240
The owner, he treats me well.

191
00:10:11,327 --> 00:10:16,071
And his daughter,
Talia, she’s...

192
00:10:16,158 --> 00:10:20,031
I just don’t know if I can
commit to a journey this long.

193
00:10:20,118 --> 00:10:24,079
You will be in Ithaca
before sundown two days hence.

194
00:10:24,166 --> 00:10:26,081
We have to be.

195
00:10:26,168 --> 00:10:28,431
And if you decide to
stay in our fair kingdom,

196
00:10:28,518 --> 00:10:31,434
you will live a life
of ease in Ithaca.

197
00:10:31,521 --> 00:10:33,871
And once there,
she can join you.

198
00:10:36,744 --> 00:10:38,528
If you teach me
how to be as fast

199
00:10:38,615 --> 00:10:40,617
as you, my king
Odysseus, then I’m in.

200
00:10:44,447 --> 00:10:46,536
And as I promised...

201
00:10:46,623 --> 00:10:48,103
We need gold.

202
00:10:48,190 --> 00:10:50,714
You said we need to
be to Ithaca in two days.

203
00:10:50,801 --> 00:10:53,978
Yes. I have a plan.

204
00:10:54,065 --> 00:10:55,240
But you must trust me.

205
00:10:56,938 --> 00:10:58,243
I’m with you to
the end, my king.

206
00:11:00,376 --> 00:11:01,856
Or thereabouts.

207
00:11:01,943 --> 00:11:05,511
From Troy, Odysseus
<i>launched his journey home</i>

208
00:11:05,598 --> 00:11:08,906
<i>with 12 ships and 600 men.</i>

209
00:11:08,993 --> 00:11:13,215
<i>Back in Ithaca,</i>
<i>Odysseus’s dear wife Penelope</i>

210
00:11:13,302 --> 00:11:17,175
<i>dreams of her love</i>
<i>bearing the brutal seas</i>

211
00:11:17,262 --> 00:11:19,700
<i>to find his way home to her.</i>

212
00:11:46,509 --> 00:11:47,553
Odysseus?

213
00:12:06,747 --> 00:12:07,748
God’s above.

214
00:12:10,185 --> 00:12:12,361
You’ve shown me Odysseus lives.

215
00:12:14,493 --> 00:12:15,756
Now bring him home.

216
00:12:17,845 --> 00:12:20,761
Bring him home now,
or these lips

217
00:12:20,848 --> 00:12:23,764
shall never again
speak your names.

218
00:12:42,217 --> 00:12:44,219
A growing boy needs food.

219
00:12:44,306 --> 00:12:47,178
A boy needs many things,
mother, but I am not a boy.

220
00:12:47,265 --> 00:12:48,571
Not any...

221
00:12:51,008 --> 00:12:51,966
Mother.

222
00:12:52,053 --> 00:12:54,229
I’ve seen him, Telemachus.

223
00:12:54,316 --> 00:12:55,447
I’ve seen your father.

224
00:12:55,534 --> 00:12:57,058
You’re bleeding.
You must sit.

225
00:12:57,145 --> 00:12:59,756
No, my son.
We must stand and fight.

226
00:12:59,843 --> 00:13:01,192
What have you seen?

227
00:13:02,803 --> 00:13:03,716
A vision.

228
00:13:07,372 --> 00:13:08,286
A message from the gods.

229
00:13:11,115 --> 00:13:13,030
Troy burns.

230
00:13:13,117 --> 00:13:15,641
Your father, he is triumphant.

231
00:13:15,728 --> 00:13:18,514
He is coming home, but it
may not be fast enough.

232
00:13:18,601 --> 00:13:21,604
Ithaca is vulnerable now.

233
00:13:21,691 --> 00:13:23,258
Now that the war is over,

234
00:13:23,345 --> 00:13:26,391
Odysseus must return to
reclaim the throne, otherwise

235
00:13:26,478 --> 00:13:29,786
another can claim this
kingdom as his own.

236
00:13:29,873 --> 00:13:33,834
Your father would rather
die than let that happen.

237
00:13:33,921 --> 00:13:35,574
He will return.
He must.

238
00:13:35,661 --> 00:13:38,621
And in his absence,
I am the man of this house,

239
00:13:38,708 --> 00:13:40,971
and I say that we...

240
00:13:41,058 --> 00:13:43,539
You will be a man
soon enough, my love. You will.

241
00:13:43,626 --> 00:13:47,499
But you cannot be king.
Not yet.

242
00:13:48,936 --> 00:13:50,633
And therein lies our fight.

243
00:13:52,678 --> 00:13:56,421
Each day that your father
is away, others become

244
00:13:56,508 --> 00:13:59,685
more willing to claim
this kingdom as their own.

245
00:13:59,772 --> 00:14:04,908
If he does not return,
I will not also lose you.

246
00:14:04,995 --> 00:14:07,693
So we must be strong, my son.

247
00:14:07,780 --> 00:14:10,871
Together, we must
be like your father.

248
00:14:12,046 --> 00:14:14,265
Smart and resourceful.

249
00:14:14,352 --> 00:14:17,703
And protect this
kingdom without violence.

250
00:14:19,531 --> 00:14:20,445
Clever.

251
00:14:25,494 --> 00:14:28,323
So clever as to make
the gods jealous.

252
00:14:30,673 --> 00:14:33,676
Whether we want it or not,
the heavens will continue to

253
00:14:33,763 --> 00:14:36,548
move without Odysseus here
by our side where he belongs.

254
00:14:39,073 --> 00:14:40,988
If he does not return soon

255
00:14:41,075 --> 00:14:43,860
after victory
has been declared,

256
00:14:43,947 --> 00:14:46,167
then by law he will have
abandoned his duties as king.

257
00:14:48,343 --> 00:14:52,086
And a suitor, any suitor,

258
00:14:52,173 --> 00:14:54,915
may lay claim to this house,

259
00:14:55,002 --> 00:14:56,612
and to the crown of Ithaca.

260
00:14:56,699 --> 00:14:58,179
And to you.

261
00:15:00,311 --> 00:15:03,532
The law only reaches so far.

262
00:15:03,619 --> 00:15:08,363
When they come,
and come they will,

263
00:15:08,450 --> 00:15:10,278
we must be ready.

264
00:15:10,365 --> 00:15:15,544
And I am ready to fight for you
and for father and the kingdom.

265
00:15:15,631 --> 00:15:19,156
Son, this is not going
to be a sword fight.

266
00:15:19,243 --> 00:15:21,942
Or even a fight of fists.

267
00:15:22,029 --> 00:15:24,640
This will be a fight
of words and propriety.

268
00:15:27,121 --> 00:15:29,471
We need to buy him time.

269
00:15:29,558 --> 00:15:33,301
Keep the suitors busy.

270
00:15:33,388 --> 00:15:35,999
Their bellies full
and distracted.

271
00:15:37,653 --> 00:15:41,744
Now come and honor me
like you do him.

272
00:15:41,831 --> 00:15:44,834
The war is over now.

273
00:15:44,921 --> 00:15:46,662
But our battle
is just beginning.

274
00:15:59,283 --> 00:16:00,850
Goddess Athena...

275
00:16:02,678 --> 00:16:04,549
Help us.

276
00:16:04,636 --> 00:16:06,290
I pray.

277
00:16:06,377 --> 00:16:08,901
But help Odysseus.

278
00:16:08,989 --> 00:16:10,120
Help my father.

279
00:16:11,992 --> 00:16:13,210
Please.

280
00:16:13,297 --> 00:16:15,952
The mighty storm
<i>that struck Odysseus</i>

281
00:16:16,039 --> 00:16:21,218
<i>ravaged the sea for ten days,</i>
<i>taking them far off course.</i>

282
00:16:21,305 --> 00:16:23,829
<i>After battling the sea,</i>

283
00:16:23,916 --> 00:16:27,050
<i>Odysseus has arrived</i>
<i>at his home in Ithaca...</i>

284
00:16:27,137 --> 00:16:29,183
<i>or so he thought.</i>

285
00:16:29,270 --> 00:16:30,575
This is not Ithaca, Athena!

286
00:16:33,187 --> 00:16:36,016
This is another one
of the gods’ cruel jokes.

287
00:16:39,845 --> 00:16:40,759
I must get home.

288
00:16:44,285 --> 00:16:45,634
I will get home.

289
00:16:52,597 --> 00:16:53,468
Penelope.

290
00:16:55,644 --> 00:16:56,688
Sweet Penelope.

291
00:16:59,126 --> 00:17:00,475
I will come home.

292
00:17:04,914 --> 00:17:06,916
Look at you keeping
step with the gods.

293
00:17:10,398 --> 00:17:11,616
Athena.

294
00:17:11,703 --> 00:17:13,966
I am many leagues off course.

295
00:17:14,054 --> 00:17:17,405
I’m only two days
journey from Ithaca.

296
00:17:17,492 --> 00:17:19,320
Please.

297
00:17:19,407 --> 00:17:22,758
Spirit me home to Ithaca,
great goddess.

298
00:17:22,845 --> 00:17:24,934
You know that I cannot.

299
00:17:25,021 --> 00:17:28,111
It is not within
my power to do so.

300
00:17:28,198 --> 00:17:30,505
But think, Odysseus.

301
00:17:30,592 --> 00:17:33,986
Perhaps there is a reason
that you are not yet home.

302
00:17:34,074 --> 00:17:37,033
The gods have another plan.

303
00:17:37,120 --> 00:17:38,034
I see.

304
00:17:41,168 --> 00:17:43,518
I am here to help.

305
00:17:43,605 --> 00:17:46,999
I can offer you help three
times along your journey.

306
00:17:47,087 --> 00:17:49,219
Three gifts.

307
00:17:49,306 --> 00:17:50,699
Only three?

308
00:17:50,786 --> 00:17:52,831
’Tis all I am permitted.

309
00:17:52,918 --> 00:17:55,399
I am helping because
I see myself

310
00:17:55,486 --> 00:17:59,011
in your clever mind and
your tactician’s brain.

311
00:17:59,099 --> 00:18:02,580
Your glory in
the Trojan War honors me.

312
00:18:02,667 --> 00:18:05,540
And that is why I will help you.

313
00:18:05,627 --> 00:18:06,976
I am flattered, goddess.

314
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:09,674
I must decline.

315
00:18:11,633 --> 00:18:13,374
I am offended.

316
00:18:13,461 --> 00:18:17,378
Odysseus.
Refusing a gift from the gods?

317
00:18:17,465 --> 00:18:19,423
From Athena herself.

318
00:18:19,510 --> 00:18:22,861
If you cannot spirit
me home then please

319
00:18:22,948 --> 00:18:28,650
understand I must ask for
help only when I need it.

320
00:18:28,737 --> 00:18:33,350
When all hope is lost, my wits
abandon me and death beckons.

321
00:18:35,613 --> 00:18:38,834
In this moment I will
honor your generosity

322
00:18:38,921 --> 00:18:41,315
for I know the
value of godly gifts.

323
00:18:43,447 --> 00:18:46,537
Then you must know even now

324
00:18:46,624 --> 00:18:49,671
dogs are sniffing
at your house

325
00:18:49,758 --> 00:18:51,281
and at your wife.

326
00:18:53,022 --> 00:18:56,286
The gods are testing
your cleverness, Odysseus.

327
00:18:59,333 --> 00:19:01,944
Then I pray the
gods do not stall me

328
00:19:02,031 --> 00:19:03,685
any longer than
they already have.

329
00:19:06,383 --> 00:19:08,429
Go, hero.

330
00:19:08,516 --> 00:19:10,518
Honor me and prove your worth.

331
00:19:11,693 --> 00:19:13,434
Get home.

332
00:19:13,521 --> 00:19:16,741
No matter what horrors the
gods place upon your path.

333
00:19:22,921 --> 00:19:27,099
The opportunity here
is too great to pass up.

334
00:19:27,187 --> 00:19:30,364
A kingdom, a crown,

335
00:19:30,451 --> 00:19:33,236
and even the queen herself

336
00:19:33,323 --> 00:19:35,891
all free for the taking.

337
00:19:35,978 --> 00:19:39,764
And it should be easy
enough owing to propriety

338
00:19:39,851 --> 00:19:42,332
and Grecian law.

339
00:19:42,419 --> 00:19:47,163
All suitors
must be taken seriously.

340
00:19:47,250 --> 00:19:48,382
And I will be the first.

341
00:19:48,991 --> 00:19:50,079
Ha!

342
00:19:51,472 --> 00:19:54,692
The early bird gets the kingdom.

343
00:19:57,086 --> 00:20:01,264
She’ll have no choice
but to honor my demands.

344
00:20:01,351 --> 00:20:02,657
All of my demands.

345
00:20:15,365 --> 00:20:18,890
Antinous just said
the most awful things.

346
00:20:18,977 --> 00:20:22,154
Threatening to take the crown,
our house, and you!

347
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:25,636
Then it has begun.

348
00:20:25,723 --> 00:20:28,944
We must be on our
guard, Telemachus.

349
00:20:29,031 --> 00:20:31,425
Always polite and inviting.

350
00:20:33,775 --> 00:20:34,950
But on our guard.

351
00:20:38,997 --> 00:20:41,478
But on our guard!

352
00:20:41,565 --> 00:20:45,003
Perilous winds
<i>and unsettling new lands</i>

353
00:20:45,090 --> 00:20:47,919
<i> </i><i>take their toll on the voyagers</i>

354
00:20:48,006 --> 00:20:52,968
<i>who now explore</i>
<i>a small island, rich in gold.</i>

355
00:20:53,055 --> 00:20:55,362
Is this part of
the plan, Lord Odysseus?

356
00:20:55,449 --> 00:20:56,711
Indeed, Eurylochus.

357
00:20:56,798 --> 00:20:59,279
Now stay close,
and your lips closed.

358
00:21:01,150 --> 00:21:04,240
I don’t quite understand
what this has to do with gold.

359
00:21:04,327 --> 00:21:06,068
We’re going to retrieve gold.

360
00:21:06,155 --> 00:21:10,899
My gold that was
stolen by a cyclops.

361
00:21:10,986 --> 00:21:14,511
He’s the son of Poseidon,
God of the sea.

362
00:21:14,598 --> 00:21:16,208
A real cyclops?

363
00:21:16,296 --> 00:21:17,558
Why didn’t you tell us sooner?

364
00:21:17,645 --> 00:21:18,863
They eat people, so I’ve heard.

365
00:21:18,950 --> 00:21:21,213
My brave crew...

366
00:21:21,301 --> 00:21:22,954
Alkimos, you wanted adventure.

367
00:21:23,041 --> 00:21:24,826
Here it is.

368
00:21:24,913 --> 00:21:29,439
Eurylochus, you wanted to stay
alive in a cave with a Cyclops.

369
00:21:29,526 --> 00:21:31,006
You must learn to be faster.

370
00:21:31,093 --> 00:21:33,400
And Polites,
now you wanted gold.

371
00:21:36,316 --> 00:21:39,231
Yes, this cyclops has
been hoarding gold for years.

372
00:21:39,319 --> 00:21:41,190
Mine and others.

373
00:21:41,277 --> 00:21:44,193
And that gold will
help me pay your rewards.

374
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,805
He’s been terrorizing this
mountainside for many years.

375
00:21:47,892 --> 00:21:49,067
It’s time we return the favor.

376
00:21:51,374 --> 00:21:55,639
Today, our journey
begins with a cyclops.

377
00:21:55,726 --> 00:21:58,250
Or it ends before it begins.

378
00:21:58,338 --> 00:22:00,165
Now who’s with me?

379
00:22:00,252 --> 00:22:01,384
My king.

380
00:22:01,471 --> 00:22:02,951
Help! Help!

381
00:22:04,431 --> 00:22:05,954
Help! Help!

382
00:22:19,271 --> 00:22:20,882
He... He ate him.

383
00:22:22,579 --> 00:22:27,279
Do as I say when I say,
then we will win the day.

384
00:22:27,367 --> 00:22:28,759
All right, what’s the plan?

385
00:22:28,846 --> 00:22:30,544
We’ll circle the
base of the mountain.

386
00:22:30,631 --> 00:22:32,415
Go inside.

387
00:22:32,502 --> 00:22:35,200
Stay close, and downwind.

388
00:22:35,287 --> 00:22:38,290
Cyclops, he can smell
us nearly a league away.

389
00:22:39,988 --> 00:22:40,858
Hold, hold, hold.

390
00:22:44,601 --> 00:22:47,691
At Troy, during the
war, you were there?

391
00:22:47,778 --> 00:22:50,085
I sure was.

392
00:22:50,172 --> 00:22:51,434
I barely survived,
and I probably wouldn’t have

393
00:22:51,521 --> 00:22:53,610
if it weren’t for Odysseus.

394
00:22:53,697 --> 00:22:56,570
Saved me from
an entire garrison.

395
00:22:56,657 --> 00:22:58,528
Picked them off one by one.

396
00:22:58,615 --> 00:23:01,226
Hiding in the shadows,
which is a pretty big

397
00:23:01,313 --> 00:23:04,055
feat for him, considering
he’s a big bastard.

398
00:23:04,142 --> 00:23:06,231
I’ve only heard stories.

399
00:23:06,318 --> 00:23:07,668
Legends, really.

400
00:23:07,755 --> 00:23:10,671
Well, not everything
you hear is true.

401
00:23:10,758 --> 00:23:13,282
Only half of what
I just said was true.

402
00:23:13,369 --> 00:23:15,110
Is he as good a man as they say?

403
00:23:15,197 --> 00:23:17,504
He’s a great man, though
he’d never admit it.

404
00:23:17,591 --> 00:23:19,680
But out of humility.

405
00:23:19,767 --> 00:23:22,944
He’s a man who
values many virtues.

406
00:23:23,031 --> 00:23:27,731
But the one he values above
all others is cleverness.

407
00:23:27,818 --> 00:23:33,389
You see, a good man engenders
himself to friends, family.

408
00:23:33,476 --> 00:23:37,785
A clever man,
a clever man survives.

409
00:23:37,872 --> 00:23:38,742
Quickly, now.

410
00:23:42,006 --> 00:23:45,314
Gods willing, we will, too.

411
00:23:56,934 --> 00:24:00,242
Keep your eyes open and
your wits about you, man.

412
00:24:00,329 --> 00:24:03,680
Odysseus, you know
no-ones actually entered

413
00:24:03,767 --> 00:24:07,423
the Cyclops cave and
lived to tell the tale.

414
00:24:07,510 --> 00:24:08,598
Not until today they don’t.

415
00:24:13,429 --> 00:24:16,040
He will be busy
with his guest.

416
00:24:17,302 --> 00:24:19,609
This is our chance.

417
00:24:19,696 --> 00:24:21,959
We sneak in,
find the treasure,

418
00:24:22,046 --> 00:24:24,875
take what we can carry,
stay quiet,

419
00:24:24,962 --> 00:24:28,052
get out the same way.

420
00:24:28,139 --> 00:24:29,967
Stay with me.

421
00:24:30,054 --> 00:24:30,968
Stay low.

422
00:24:39,455 --> 00:24:40,848
But how do we find the treasure?

423
00:24:42,980 --> 00:24:45,113
Where does the cyclops
even keep its treasure?

424
00:24:47,332 --> 00:24:50,945
It smells like death.

425
00:24:51,032 --> 00:24:53,425
What better place to
hide your gold than in

426
00:24:53,513 --> 00:24:58,213
a place that smells so bad
that no one dares enter?

427
00:24:58,300 --> 00:25:00,955
Use your nose.
Follow its direction.

428
00:25:01,042 --> 00:25:06,003
Is... Is somebody here?

429
00:25:06,090 --> 00:25:09,354
I smell...
I smell men.

430
00:25:09,441 --> 00:25:13,054
I smell your fear.

431
00:25:13,141 --> 00:25:17,145
You can’t...
You can’t hide for long

432
00:25:17,232 --> 00:25:21,715
and Polyphemus,
the son of Poseidon,

433
00:25:21,802 --> 00:25:25,414
is still hungry.

434
00:25:27,721 --> 00:25:29,070
There.

435
00:25:29,157 --> 00:25:30,985
The smell of the
worst is that way.

436
00:25:31,072 --> 00:25:32,116
Move, move.

437
00:25:49,438 --> 00:25:50,526
Let’s move.

438
00:26:03,278 --> 00:26:04,453
Quiet.

439
00:26:12,026 --> 00:26:13,201
Holy gold.

440
00:26:14,289 --> 00:26:15,856
Reward.

441
00:26:15,943 --> 00:26:17,466
Rewards for good men.

442
00:26:17,553 --> 00:26:19,250
Shh.

443
00:26:19,337 --> 00:26:20,512
Okay, quickly.

444
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,297
Take everything you can.

445
00:26:22,384 --> 00:26:25,866
Actually, only what you can
carry, just like Odysseus said.

446
00:26:25,953 --> 00:26:27,868
Wait, where is Odysseus?

447
00:26:27,955 --> 00:26:30,522
Odysseus is gone.

448
00:26:30,610 --> 00:26:32,829
You’ve come for my gold!

449
00:26:32,916 --> 00:26:34,265
Shh!

450
00:26:34,352 --> 00:26:37,529
- Thieves!
- Okay, take cover!

451
00:26:41,621 --> 00:26:44,058
Thieves, who are you?

452
00:26:46,408 --> 00:26:47,757
We’re nobody!

453
00:26:50,368 --> 00:26:52,196
Grab the treasure! Run!

454
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:03,773
Go! I’ll keep him busy!

455
00:27:05,819 --> 00:27:08,952
We fight with you,
my king!

456
00:27:14,697 --> 00:27:15,655
Eurylochus!

457
00:27:16,786 --> 00:27:17,918
Odysseus!

458
00:27:18,005 --> 00:27:19,223
Polites, help! Ah!

459
00:27:22,009 --> 00:27:24,751
No! No!

460
00:27:24,838 --> 00:27:27,362
You will die, foul beast!

461
00:27:27,449 --> 00:27:29,016
For Eurylochus!

462
00:27:32,715 --> 00:27:34,369
Nobody?

463
00:27:34,456 --> 00:27:35,762
It calls for help.

464
00:27:37,198 --> 00:27:39,156
No one will come!

465
00:27:39,243 --> 00:27:41,593
It calls out for nobody.

466
00:27:41,681 --> 00:27:42,594
No one will come.

467
00:27:47,687 --> 00:27:51,081
May the gods bless
you, Eurylochus,

468
00:27:51,168 --> 00:27:53,388
and speed you
through the underworld

469
00:27:53,475 --> 00:27:57,000
as quickly as
the gods will permit.

470
00:27:57,087 --> 00:27:59,960
Now, go.
Grab the treasure.

471
00:28:00,047 --> 00:28:02,919
The son of Poseidon will
not lick his wounds long.

472
00:28:03,006 --> 00:28:04,486
Go!

473
00:28:04,573 --> 00:28:06,836
- Only take what we need.
- Only take what we need.

474
00:28:06,923 --> 00:28:08,751
Yes, enough for a boat.

475
00:28:08,838 --> 00:28:10,535
Provisions and no more.

476
00:28:10,622 --> 00:28:12,276
Okay, here’s a bit of gold.
There’s a bit of this...

477
00:28:12,363 --> 00:28:13,887
- Hurry!
- Yes, grab that.

478
00:28:13,974 --> 00:28:17,020
That’s expensive, I like that.
Okay, and...

479
00:28:17,107 --> 00:28:18,065
Yes, let’s go.

480
00:28:18,152 --> 00:28:19,849
Go, go!

481
00:28:31,905 --> 00:28:33,297
Charie!

482
00:28:33,384 --> 00:28:36,431
And greetings to the
great house of Odysseus.

483
00:28:36,518 --> 00:28:38,694
Greetings to you, traveler.

484
00:28:38,781 --> 00:28:41,479
Your voice seems so...

485
00:28:41,566 --> 00:28:43,264
familiar.

486
00:28:43,351 --> 00:28:45,701
But our house is
in no condition...

487
00:28:45,788 --> 00:28:48,443
Aye, aye.
Well met, my lord Telelachus.

488
00:28:48,530 --> 00:28:49,879
Telemachus.

489
00:28:51,663 --> 00:28:54,579
Apologies. Apologies.

490
00:28:54,666 --> 00:28:56,973
I am Antinous.

491
00:28:57,060 --> 00:29:00,977
And I come bearing gifts.

492
00:29:01,064 --> 00:29:04,024
The gift of my protection.

493
00:29:06,113 --> 00:29:08,115
A gracious home.

494
00:29:08,202 --> 00:29:09,986
A kingly estate, indeed.

495
00:29:17,559 --> 00:29:20,692
Ready our ship, men.
We leave port immediately.

496
00:29:20,780 --> 00:29:21,737
- My king.
- My king.

497
00:29:39,624 --> 00:29:41,801
Come to wish us farewell?

498
00:29:41,888 --> 00:29:43,063
I have.

499
00:29:43,150 --> 00:29:46,066
And I come bearing a gift.

500
00:29:46,153 --> 00:29:49,983
A bag of wind
to speed you along your journey.

501
00:29:50,070 --> 00:29:52,028
Perhaps if you’d
accepted my offer of help,

502
00:29:52,115 --> 00:29:54,857
and asked for stronger
and faster ships,

503
00:29:54,944 --> 00:29:56,641
you would not need it.

504
00:29:56,728 --> 00:29:59,644
Or you would already
be closer to home.

505
00:29:59,731 --> 00:30:01,124
My ship.

506
00:30:01,211 --> 00:30:03,648
I would not trust
a boat from the gods.

507
00:30:03,735 --> 00:30:08,915
Who knows if the previous owners
seek revenge and come find me?

508
00:30:09,002 --> 00:30:11,221
And what of the previous
owners of this treasure?

509
00:30:13,310 --> 00:30:15,225
My ship.

510
00:30:15,312 --> 00:30:16,313
My treasure.

511
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:17,532
My men.

512
00:30:22,754 --> 00:30:23,973
What’s left of them.

513
00:30:32,590 --> 00:30:33,940
By Olympus.

514
00:30:36,681 --> 00:30:38,248
One of the gods
speaking to Odysseus.

515
00:30:40,729 --> 00:30:41,861
Gifts.

516
00:30:41,948 --> 00:30:43,427
Gifts from the gods themselves.

517
00:30:46,561 --> 00:30:48,868
It’s a generous gift.

518
00:30:48,955 --> 00:30:51,087
And I accept your bag of wind.

519
00:30:51,174 --> 00:30:54,830
But it is not one of your
three gifts until I use it.

520
00:30:54,917 --> 00:30:57,354
Why not use it now?

521
00:30:57,441 --> 00:30:58,921
I will use it.

522
00:30:59,008 --> 00:31:01,881
But I will use it when I must.

523
00:31:01,968 --> 00:31:04,796
The gifts of a god
come with a heavy price.

524
00:31:08,017 --> 00:31:11,281
Hurry home, son of Laertes.

525
00:31:11,368 --> 00:31:12,456
Honor me.

526
00:31:16,373 --> 00:31:17,287
Rewards.

527
00:31:24,642 --> 00:31:27,080
Odysseus!

528
00:31:27,167 --> 00:31:28,124
Was that...

529
00:31:28,211 --> 00:31:29,604
Athena herself.

530
00:31:29,691 --> 00:31:31,388
Come to wish us a farewell.

531
00:31:32,694 --> 00:31:34,043
Could she help us?

532
00:31:34,130 --> 00:31:36,480
Help us get there faster.

533
00:31:36,567 --> 00:31:37,917
I would give my life
many times over if it

534
00:31:38,004 --> 00:31:40,310
meant getting home
sooner to my loved ones.

535
00:31:40,397 --> 00:31:44,140
But the gods play
dangerous games with men.

536
00:31:44,227 --> 00:31:47,578
They could spirit us home
with just a mere thought.

537
00:31:47,665 --> 00:31:49,711
Or the breath from their lungs.

538
00:31:49,798 --> 00:31:52,975
Or they could smite us where we
stand and send us to our dooms.

539
00:31:53,062 --> 00:31:55,673
To them, it’s all the same.

540
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,588
That’s why we
must tread lightly.

541
00:31:57,675 --> 00:32:00,765
Especially with the ones
who seem the most generous.

542
00:32:00,852 --> 00:32:02,419
And what of that?

543
00:32:02,506 --> 00:32:03,986
Is that a gift?
A reward?

544
00:32:04,073 --> 00:32:05,857
No, it’s nothing.

545
00:32:05,945 --> 00:32:07,511
It’s a good luck charm.

546
00:32:07,598 --> 00:32:09,600
Now, Polites, let’s go home.

547
00:32:20,655 --> 00:32:22,004
A guest in my home.

548
00:32:22,091 --> 00:32:24,789
Aye, but not just any guest.

549
00:32:24,876 --> 00:32:26,704
Antinous, my queen.

550
00:32:26,791 --> 00:32:28,663
At your service.

551
00:32:28,750 --> 00:32:30,534
Well met, Antinous.

552
00:32:30,621 --> 00:32:33,798
And to what do we
owe this generous visit?

553
00:32:33,885 --> 00:32:38,673
I come to pay my respects
to the great Odysseus himself.

554
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,632
And to those he left behind.

555
00:32:41,719 --> 00:32:43,591
He will return. He...

556
00:32:43,678 --> 00:32:44,940
And we accept that respect

557
00:32:45,027 --> 00:32:46,594
in the spirit
that it was given.

558
00:32:49,249 --> 00:32:50,380
Thank you, Antinous.

559
00:32:52,469 --> 00:32:56,996
And I am here to confirm
that this home is safe.

560
00:32:57,083 --> 00:33:01,391
Safe from any who might think
to encroach upon its sanctity.

561
00:33:01,478 --> 00:33:04,394
And to offer my
allegiance and my duty to you

562
00:33:04,481 --> 00:33:06,962
and yours
and to this kingdom.

563
00:33:08,703 --> 00:33:12,402
And to offer my services
to you

564
00:33:12,489 --> 00:33:15,666
as husband and father...

565
00:33:18,887 --> 00:33:19,931
and king.

566
00:33:20,019 --> 00:33:21,324
There is no need for that.

567
00:33:21,411 --> 00:33:22,325
Or for you. My father--

568
00:33:22,412 --> 00:33:24,327
You’ll forgive my son.

569
00:33:24,414 --> 00:33:27,069
He can be rather spirited.

570
00:33:31,856 --> 00:33:33,032
Much like his father.

571
00:33:34,642 --> 00:33:37,471
A generous proposal, indeed.

572
00:33:37,558 --> 00:33:40,735
But we have only just met.

573
00:33:40,822 --> 00:33:42,824
Perhaps we can get
better acquainted first.

574
00:33:44,782 --> 00:33:47,133
A fair suggestion.

575
00:33:47,220 --> 00:33:48,569
Right and good.

576
00:33:48,656 --> 00:33:52,138
But I have to admit,
my gracious queen.

577
00:33:52,225 --> 00:33:54,705
I am famished.

578
00:33:54,792 --> 00:34:00,059
And my lips are parched from
my long journey to your door.

579
00:34:00,146 --> 00:34:04,019
Yes. Refreshments might
do us all some good.

580
00:34:07,066 --> 00:34:08,023
Telemachus.

581
00:34:09,546 --> 00:34:10,765
I could use your help.

582
00:34:15,117 --> 00:34:16,075
Take your time.

583
00:34:17,424 --> 00:34:18,729
Take your time.

584
00:34:20,427 --> 00:34:21,732
I’m in no rush.

585
00:34:24,996 --> 00:34:26,563
Mother, what are you doing?

586
00:34:26,650 --> 00:34:28,522
My duty, my son.

587
00:34:28,609 --> 00:34:31,786
And I expect you to do the same.

588
00:34:31,873 --> 00:34:33,135
Antinous is our guest.

589
00:34:33,222 --> 00:34:35,050
Antinous is a
lecherous fool who...

590
00:34:38,923 --> 00:34:40,142
Mother, I--

591
00:34:40,229 --> 00:34:43,450
There will be
other fools, son.

592
00:34:43,537 --> 00:34:44,973
He is merely the first.

593
00:34:45,060 --> 00:34:47,323
It’s just like I warned you.

594
00:34:47,410 --> 00:34:50,457
Every day Ithaca
goes without a king

595
00:34:50,544 --> 00:34:53,895
and our house without
our dearest love,

596
00:34:53,982 --> 00:34:55,679
we edge closer
and closer to chaos.

597
00:34:58,247 --> 00:35:01,076
While he is here, the others in

598
00:35:01,163 --> 00:35:03,252
waiting will keep
their distance.

599
00:35:06,429 --> 00:35:08,692
Concerned about their chances,
making assumptions...

600
00:35:10,868 --> 00:35:13,044
Peace is kept.

601
00:35:13,132 --> 00:35:14,568
But mother, I don’t think...

602
00:35:14,655 --> 00:35:17,571
We keep--
We keep him distracted.

603
00:35:17,658 --> 00:35:19,616
And we buy your father time.

604
00:35:19,703 --> 00:35:22,097
And while we wait
and be polite and

605
00:35:22,184 --> 00:35:25,796
kowtow to that,
any peace we buy

606
00:35:25,883 --> 00:35:27,276
is not guaranteed.

607
00:35:27,363 --> 00:35:28,930
It is all we can do.

608
00:35:30,323 --> 00:35:31,193
For now.

609
00:35:39,332 --> 00:35:41,464
Now, come on.

610
00:35:41,551 --> 00:35:43,379
We mustn’t keep our
honored guest waiting.

611
00:35:46,817 --> 00:35:48,428
Steady there, Alkimos.

612
00:35:48,515 --> 00:35:50,952
With any luck, we’ll be home
in a day and a half.

613
00:35:54,434 --> 00:35:55,348
My king.

614
00:35:59,917 --> 00:36:01,702
A storm’s coming.

615
00:36:01,789 --> 00:36:02,616
Keep it steady, Alkimos.

616
00:36:02,703 --> 00:36:04,487
Put your back into it.

617
00:36:04,574 --> 00:36:06,402
Polites, grab those lines.
We’re going to need them.

618
00:36:09,362 --> 00:36:11,668
Poseidon’s bad breath.

619
00:36:11,755 --> 00:36:13,583
Poseidon’s breath?

620
00:36:13,670 --> 00:36:15,672
Hot air and spit.

621
00:36:15,759 --> 00:36:18,327
That’s Poseidon’s bad breath.

622
00:36:18,414 --> 00:36:21,374
He must have learned of
the mark I left on his son.

623
00:36:21,461 --> 00:36:23,724
And his ocean is
pushing us off course.

624
00:36:23,811 --> 00:36:24,725
Look, there.

625
00:36:30,078 --> 00:36:31,993
Oh, yes.

626
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,865
The current.
It turns against us.

627
00:36:34,952 --> 00:36:37,433
Yes.
Adjust your heading.

628
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,130
Into the wind.

629
00:36:39,218 --> 00:36:40,262
- The wind?
- Yes.

630
00:36:40,349 --> 00:36:42,221
My king...

631
00:36:42,308 --> 00:36:44,788
Poseidon’s strength is strongest
in the water and the current.

632
00:36:46,529 --> 00:36:49,271
But if we catch the wind
we can use it as our guide.

633
00:36:49,358 --> 00:36:52,100
Polites, fortify the mast
and the sail.

634
00:36:54,711 --> 00:36:58,062
We cannot afford to be
any further from our goal.

635
00:36:58,149 --> 00:37:01,240
My king, the ship...

636
00:37:01,327 --> 00:37:02,676
She can’t hold it.

637
00:37:02,763 --> 00:37:05,244
She will do what
we tell her to do.

638
00:37:05,331 --> 00:37:07,289
The wind going one way
and the current the other.

639
00:37:07,376 --> 00:37:09,117
I’m afraid we’re
going to be torn apart.

640
00:37:09,204 --> 00:37:11,772
If we catch the wind,
tread lightly.

641
00:37:11,859 --> 00:37:14,775
We can crest the waves
instead of wrestling with them.

642
00:37:17,430 --> 00:37:19,170
Yes.

643
00:37:19,258 --> 00:37:21,651
We must tread lightly if we
want to keep pace with those.

644
00:37:23,784 --> 00:37:27,744
Spit all you want, Poseidon!
I will not be swayed.

645
00:37:27,831 --> 00:37:29,137
Not today, not ever.

646
00:37:30,443 --> 00:37:31,835
Odysseus...

647
00:37:34,751 --> 00:37:36,492
The waves!

648
00:37:36,579 --> 00:37:37,624
The waves, they’re coming
right for us.

649
00:37:46,807 --> 00:37:49,070
We’ve got
to keep her on course!

650
00:37:49,157 --> 00:37:50,811
Try harder.

651
00:37:50,898 --> 00:37:54,510
Come on!
Come on, oh gods. Punish me!

652
00:37:54,597 --> 00:37:55,729
Punish me!

653
00:38:00,124 --> 00:38:02,083
The sea,
she means to turn us over!

654
00:38:04,781 --> 00:38:06,522
- Odysseus.
- Hold tight.

655
00:38:06,609 --> 00:38:08,437
Hold tight, men.
We can steer her.

656
00:38:18,099 --> 00:38:19,448
We’re not strong enough.

657
00:38:19,535 --> 00:38:21,276
We’re not going to make it.

658
00:38:21,363 --> 00:38:23,626
The sea shall eat us all.

659
00:38:23,713 --> 00:38:25,976
The wind.
The wind’s too strong.

660
00:38:26,063 --> 00:38:27,978
We’re going to lose the sail.

661
00:38:28,065 --> 00:38:30,764
No. No, it’s not too strong.
It’s the strength we need.

662
00:38:32,026 --> 00:38:33,680
Hand me those lines.

663
00:38:41,035 --> 00:38:44,038
Pull the oar.
Pull with all your might!

664
00:38:44,125 --> 00:38:45,431
Pull!

665
00:38:45,518 --> 00:38:47,041
If we lose the oar,
we’re done for.

666
00:38:47,128 --> 00:38:50,044
If we do not act now, we die.

667
00:38:50,131 --> 00:38:51,219
Pull the oar!

668
00:38:55,702 --> 00:38:56,703
Pull it!

669
00:38:59,183 --> 00:39:02,273
That’s it. That’s it!

670
00:39:02,361 --> 00:39:04,014
The wind is the
strength we need.

671
00:39:09,890 --> 00:39:10,760
It’s working.

672
00:39:24,034 --> 00:39:26,515
Odysseus.

673
00:39:26,602 --> 00:39:27,560
Wind.

674
00:39:27,647 --> 00:39:29,692
Wind and water.

675
00:39:29,779 --> 00:39:31,999
They are nothing.

676
00:39:32,086 --> 00:39:34,436
They are nothing
when Ithaca waits for us.

677
00:39:40,007 --> 00:39:42,749
I’m coming home.

678
00:39:42,836 --> 00:39:44,272
I am coming home.

679
00:39:53,412 --> 00:39:55,675
So then...

680
00:39:55,762 --> 00:39:57,111
Queen Penelope.

681
00:39:58,504 --> 00:40:00,506
Antinous.

682
00:40:00,593 --> 00:40:02,377
Do you have need of more food?

683
00:40:02,464 --> 00:40:03,987
Or drink perhaps?

684
00:40:07,077 --> 00:40:09,428
Both. Please.

685
00:40:11,865 --> 00:40:13,867
Your wine.

686
00:40:13,954 --> 00:40:15,782
It has a lovely bouquet.

687
00:40:20,308 --> 00:40:22,963
A noble vintage indeed.

688
00:40:23,050 --> 00:40:25,400
A captivating aroma.

689
00:40:25,487 --> 00:40:27,794
And sweet acidity.

690
00:40:27,881 --> 00:40:29,752
It is rich.

691
00:40:29,839 --> 00:40:31,275
And full bodied.

692
00:40:34,322 --> 00:40:35,671
Just like you.

693
00:40:37,673 --> 00:40:39,458
You do flatter me, Antinous.

694
00:40:41,590 --> 00:40:42,722
Maybe I do.

695
00:40:44,941 --> 00:40:46,856
But...

696
00:40:46,943 --> 00:40:48,641
I worry...

697
00:40:48,728 --> 00:40:52,645
The time for flattery
has passed.

698
00:40:52,732 --> 00:40:55,430
There will be other suitors

699
00:40:55,517 --> 00:40:58,128
lining up at your door.

700
00:40:58,215 --> 00:41:00,391
And soon...

701
00:41:00,479 --> 00:41:04,657
They will be much
less patient men than I.

702
00:41:04,744 --> 00:41:06,702
And after the suitors

703
00:41:06,789 --> 00:41:08,399
will come the looters.

704
00:41:08,487 --> 00:41:10,010
And then the troublemakers.

705
00:41:11,968 --> 00:41:14,101
And I will be unable
to protect you.

706
00:41:15,842 --> 00:41:17,104
Unless?

707
00:41:17,191 --> 00:41:19,323
Unless I am your husband.

708
00:41:20,890 --> 00:41:22,501
Unless I am king.

709
00:41:25,721 --> 00:41:29,986
I would hate to see anything
unfortunate befall you...

710
00:41:31,118 --> 00:41:34,687
Or your son in such

711
00:41:34,774 --> 00:41:36,950
rudderless times as these.

712
00:41:39,300 --> 00:41:42,129
It is time to make
your choice, Penelope.

713
00:41:45,698 --> 00:41:47,917
Before someone makes it for you.

714
00:42:12,333 --> 00:42:15,466
Alkimos, get some beeswax.

715
00:42:15,554 --> 00:42:18,121
Focus repairs on
the prow of the ship.

716
00:42:18,208 --> 00:42:20,733
That storm really took
a bite out of our hide.

717
00:42:20,820 --> 00:42:23,170
But we need the ship
to have her speed back.

718
00:42:23,257 --> 00:42:24,258
Yes, my king.

719
00:42:26,782 --> 00:42:31,004
The sea herself added another
day and a half to our journey

720
00:42:31,091 --> 00:42:33,920
that we do not have to spare.

721
00:42:34,007 --> 00:42:36,139
The woes of my
heart upon this sea.

722
00:42:38,620 --> 00:42:40,709
What storm do you
think was worse?

723
00:42:40,796 --> 00:42:42,711
The one we just sailed through,
or the one that is on your brow?

724
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:46,541
The storm to come.

725
00:42:46,628 --> 00:42:48,195
The journey ahead.

726
00:42:48,282 --> 00:42:49,152
The journey home.

727
00:42:50,545 --> 00:42:52,373
Yes.

728
00:42:52,460 --> 00:42:55,332
Polites, is I must get home
no matter what the cost.

729
00:42:55,419 --> 00:42:56,812
I must.

730
00:42:56,899 --> 00:42:58,945
I wonder if the costs
already paid.

731
00:42:59,032 --> 00:43:00,555
No, Polites...

732
00:43:00,642 --> 00:43:03,123
The costs were paid
both here and back in Troy.

733
00:43:04,515 --> 00:43:06,822
With flesh and blood.

734
00:43:06,909 --> 00:43:08,215
And this.
This is our reward, is it?

735
00:43:08,302 --> 00:43:10,565
More hardship.

736
00:43:10,652 --> 00:43:12,523
More storms.
Rough seas.

737
00:43:12,611 --> 00:43:14,917
I cannot control the fates.
Nor the seas.

738
00:43:15,004 --> 00:43:16,179
You forget that
I’ve seen you

739
00:43:16,266 --> 00:43:17,920
perform miracles
before, Odysseus.

740
00:43:18,007 --> 00:43:19,966
Miracles even
the gods couldn’t choose.

741
00:43:20,053 --> 00:43:22,055
If this was my kingdom, yes.

742
00:43:22,142 --> 00:43:23,926
But this is not my kingdom.

743
00:43:24,013 --> 00:43:25,711
Back home in my kingdom--

744
00:43:25,798 --> 00:43:26,755
By the gods of the sea!

745
00:43:32,065 --> 00:43:32,979
The sea has teeth!

746
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:41,204
By the gods!

747
00:43:41,291 --> 00:43:43,293
Charybdis!

748
00:43:43,380 --> 00:43:46,166
It’s another one of Poseidon’s
weapons of vengeance.

749
00:43:46,253 --> 00:43:48,211
You didn’t stop Poseidon.

750
00:43:48,298 --> 00:43:49,604
You just made him more angry.

751
00:43:54,348 --> 00:43:57,003
Alkimos, come steer.

752
00:43:57,090 --> 00:43:58,744
Steer us around
the outside of it.

753
00:43:58,831 --> 00:44:00,920
My king, the repairs
aren’t finished yet.

754
00:44:01,007 --> 00:44:02,835
Without them, we won’t
be able to make that turn.

755
00:44:02,922 --> 00:44:04,097
It will be almost impossible.

756
00:44:04,184 --> 00:44:06,621
I will make that turn.
I will.

757
00:44:22,115 --> 00:44:23,377
The sea!

758
00:44:23,464 --> 00:44:24,595
It has swallowed so many,

759
00:44:24,683 --> 00:44:26,075
but I had no idea
it had a mouth!

760
00:44:28,121 --> 00:44:30,123
My king, the winds!

761
00:44:30,210 --> 00:44:31,080
We’re losing speed!

762
00:44:33,430 --> 00:44:35,128
Odysseus, what do we do?

763
00:44:35,215 --> 00:44:38,435
We will not let it
dissuade us off our course.

764
00:44:38,522 --> 00:44:40,002
Push, Alkimos!

765
00:44:40,089 --> 00:44:41,090
Push, Polites!

766
00:44:41,177 --> 00:44:42,875
Push!

767
00:44:42,962 --> 00:44:46,443
We will ride the wind
and the waves to freedom!

768
00:44:46,530 --> 00:44:48,750
Aye, my king!

769
00:44:48,837 --> 00:44:49,708
Odysseus!

770
00:44:51,797 --> 00:44:52,711
Look!

771
00:44:56,018 --> 00:44:57,977
By the gods!
It follows!

772
00:44:59,935 --> 00:45:02,459
Use the gift, son of Laertes!
The gift!

773
00:45:02,546 --> 00:45:03,983
The gift the goddess
gave to you!

774
00:45:04,070 --> 00:45:05,636
If it can help us, use it!

775
00:45:05,724 --> 00:45:06,855
Soon, loyal Polites!

776
00:45:06,942 --> 00:45:08,683
Use it now!

777
00:45:08,770 --> 00:45:11,904
I will not let
Poseidon’s pet beat us.

778
00:45:11,991 --> 00:45:17,126
He will not have the glory of
knowing I took the easy way out.

779
00:45:17,213 --> 00:45:18,606
Move!

780
00:45:18,693 --> 00:45:19,694
He is right.

781
00:45:19,781 --> 00:45:21,435
You should use it.

782
00:45:21,522 --> 00:45:24,873
It is too early in the game
for you to die, Odysseus.

783
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:27,180
Your pride will be your ruin.

784
00:45:28,964 --> 00:45:33,186
You cannot win
this without help.

785
00:45:33,273 --> 00:45:36,102
I can beat this beast on my own.

786
00:45:36,189 --> 00:45:38,539
I do not need
your help, goddess.

787
00:45:38,626 --> 00:45:40,541
I will get home in
spite of you...

788
00:45:40,628 --> 00:45:42,412
and all the gods!

789
00:45:42,499 --> 00:45:45,546
I will waste no
more breath on you.

790
00:45:45,633 --> 00:45:49,158
Not when it can be used
for another purpose.

791
00:45:49,245 --> 00:45:50,856
My king...

792
00:45:50,943 --> 00:45:52,814
Who the hell is it
you’re talking to back there?

793
00:45:52,901 --> 00:45:55,034
I will beat this beast
without your help, goddess.

794
00:46:00,648 --> 00:46:02,650
The whirlpool!

795
00:46:02,737 --> 00:46:04,783
It’s coming!

796
00:46:04,870 --> 00:46:06,088
Better hold on to something.

797
00:46:08,395 --> 00:46:09,483
Hold on, men.

798
00:46:12,051 --> 00:46:14,314
It’s not just any whirlpool.

799
00:46:14,401 --> 00:46:16,403
It’s a creature of Poseidon.

800
00:46:16,490 --> 00:46:19,928
And if it’s hungry,
we must feed it.

801
00:46:20,015 --> 00:46:23,889
We must feed it
until its belly is full.

802
00:46:23,976 --> 00:46:25,020
Until it chokes!

803
00:46:25,107 --> 00:46:26,543
Come on!

804
00:46:26,630 --> 00:46:28,894
What do you mean feed it?
Feed it with what?

805
00:46:28,981 --> 00:46:32,462
Quick!
Or we’ve already lost.

806
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:41,080
Yes, what the storm
has taken from us.

807
00:46:41,167 --> 00:46:42,646
Grab the ropes.

808
00:46:42,733 --> 00:46:44,474
Anything, planks, barrels.

809
00:46:44,561 --> 00:46:46,476
Grab anything you can.

810
00:46:46,563 --> 00:46:48,478
Absolute madness.
You went mad, old man.

811
00:46:53,092 --> 00:46:56,269
Feed this beast.
Fill its belly.

812
00:46:56,356 --> 00:46:58,140
And if not...

813
00:46:58,227 --> 00:47:00,795
I will choke it myself
with my own body.

814
00:47:04,581 --> 00:47:06,888
Looks like the sea must eat.

815
00:47:06,975 --> 00:47:08,672
The fishing traps.

816
00:47:08,759 --> 00:47:10,587
Yes, the provisions. Now!

817
00:47:10,674 --> 00:47:12,807
The fishing traps?
What are we going to eat?

818
00:47:12,894 --> 00:47:14,853
We don’t need them.

819
00:47:14,940 --> 00:47:16,898
We’ll be home in two days.

820
00:47:16,985 --> 00:47:19,901
Or we’ll be dead
trying to protect it.

821
00:47:19,988 --> 00:47:21,294
Choke on it!

822
00:47:21,381 --> 00:47:22,599
Choke on all of it!

823
00:47:26,038 --> 00:47:27,996
It’s working!
It’s working!

824
00:47:30,172 --> 00:47:32,435
Now what we need is distance.
Move!

825
00:47:37,353 --> 00:47:38,964
Hear me, gods!

826
00:47:39,051 --> 00:47:42,402
I am strong enough
to fight my own battles.

827
00:47:42,489 --> 00:47:44,883
Damn you! Damn you!

828
00:47:56,807 --> 00:47:58,897
Gods.

829
00:47:58,984 --> 00:48:01,116
Please, please help us.

830
00:48:02,683 --> 00:48:05,294
Father...

831
00:48:05,381 --> 00:48:07,470
Father, why have
you abandoned us?

832
00:48:12,823 --> 00:48:14,651
Odysseus is alive.

833
00:48:14,738 --> 00:48:16,958
Who... who are you?

834
00:48:17,045 --> 00:48:19,613
Save your breath, child.

835
00:48:19,700 --> 00:48:20,962
Do not fear me.

836
00:48:22,877 --> 00:48:26,446
How have you appeared like that?

837
00:48:26,533 --> 00:48:28,143
Is this some magician’s trick?

838
00:48:28,230 --> 00:48:29,884
A phantasm?

839
00:48:29,971 --> 00:48:32,452
Please do not vex me, spirit!

840
00:48:32,539 --> 00:48:35,107
Athena hears your prayers.

841
00:48:35,194 --> 00:48:36,978
And you must hear my words.

842
00:48:39,067 --> 00:48:42,636
Your father has
not abandoned you.

843
00:48:42,723 --> 00:48:45,204
And neither have the gods.

844
00:48:45,291 --> 00:48:46,988
I am doing all that I can.

845
00:48:49,251 --> 00:48:52,254
Never before have I
seen a man fight for his home

846
00:48:52,341 --> 00:48:56,606
so boldly as
your father does in war.

847
00:48:56,693 --> 00:48:58,478
He honors me.

848
00:48:58,565 --> 00:49:02,438
And for that, I am
doing all that I can.

849
00:49:04,092 --> 00:49:09,010
But now, my child,
I must ask the same of you.

850
00:49:09,097 --> 00:49:11,882
You must protect
your father’s house

851
00:49:11,970 --> 00:49:16,409
at all costs, from
within and from without.

852
00:49:16,496 --> 00:49:21,631
You must be prepared
to fight in war, yes.

853
00:49:21,718 --> 00:49:26,332
But you must also be careful,
watchful, and cunning.

854
00:49:28,551 --> 00:49:30,989
It is time for boys
to become men.

855
00:49:40,911 --> 00:49:43,001
I see Odysseus in you.

856
00:49:45,177 --> 00:49:46,874
Perhaps it will be enough.

857
00:49:50,921 --> 00:49:52,749
Yes.

858
00:49:52,836 --> 00:49:55,448
Perhaps it will be enough.

859
00:49:55,535 --> 00:49:58,538
Be vigilant, Telemachus.

860
00:49:58,625 --> 00:50:01,193
You will know it when
the moment comes.

861
00:50:04,500 --> 00:50:07,460
And then you
will strike...

862
00:50:07,547 --> 00:50:12,378
for your mother,
for your father, and for me.

863
00:50:17,035 --> 00:50:19,124
A toast, then.

864
00:50:19,211 --> 00:50:21,648
A toast to our health,

865
00:50:21,735 --> 00:50:27,567
and in gratitude to
my most gracious hosts.

866
00:50:27,654 --> 00:50:29,743
Who, if I might
speak freely,

867
00:50:29,830 --> 00:50:34,356
deserve a king who would
protect them at home,

868
00:50:34,443 --> 00:50:36,619
and not seek glory elsewhere.

869
00:50:39,100 --> 00:50:41,755
And I most certainly
could be that king.

870
00:50:44,671 --> 00:50:48,805
A kingdom so fine
deserves a ruler

871
00:50:48,892 --> 00:50:51,417
who would never
think to abandon it.

872
00:50:51,504 --> 00:50:54,202
This is the king’s house.

873
00:50:54,289 --> 00:50:55,551
Odysseus’s house.

874
00:50:55,638 --> 00:50:56,726
My father’s house.

875
00:50:57,988 --> 00:50:59,381
Ah.

876
00:50:59,468 --> 00:51:03,690
And where exactly is
your father, Telemachus?

877
00:51:03,777 --> 00:51:05,431
I don’t see him.

878
00:51:05,518 --> 00:51:09,435
All I see instead
is a home deserted,

879
00:51:09,522 --> 00:51:14,179
a kingdom undefended,
vulnerable,

880
00:51:14,266 --> 00:51:17,704
and of the king
himself some stories.

881
00:51:17,791 --> 00:51:20,359
The poets are talking
out on the street.

882
00:51:20,446 --> 00:51:24,406
Some say he’s lost at sea.

883
00:51:24,493 --> 00:51:29,150
Others, that he dallies
with Cersei herself.

884
00:51:29,237 --> 00:51:32,849
And I myself have heard
nothing but stories of

885
00:51:32,936 --> 00:51:36,070
monsters and treasure

886
00:51:36,157 --> 00:51:39,160
and violence
and such bloodshed.

887
00:51:42,685 --> 00:51:46,950
Whatever stories you’ve heard,
you should know this:

888
00:51:47,037 --> 00:51:52,173
while my father is gone
and in his absence,

889
00:51:52,260 --> 00:51:56,308
I am bound to
defend what is his.

890
00:52:01,269 --> 00:52:04,446
Well, if it’s a fight
you’re looking for, boy.

891
00:52:04,533 --> 00:52:07,667
Honorable Antinous.

892
00:52:07,754 --> 00:52:11,149
Strong words do harm
to the digestion.

893
00:52:11,236 --> 00:52:14,848
And violence is an ill
guest in this house or any.

894
00:52:20,070 --> 00:52:22,334
Please.

895
00:52:22,421 --> 00:52:23,813
Of course, my lady.

896
00:52:25,815 --> 00:52:27,426
Of course.

897
00:52:27,513 --> 00:52:33,258
But I wouldn’t need to
be a guest if my queen

898
00:52:33,345 --> 00:52:35,260
would take this suitor
to be her husband.

899
00:52:35,347 --> 00:52:37,392
I fear I cannot remarry.

900
00:52:40,874 --> 00:52:42,528
What?

901
00:52:42,615 --> 00:52:45,226
I cannot remarry
until I finish this cloak

902
00:52:45,313 --> 00:52:48,838
I’ve been
making for my son.

903
00:52:48,925 --> 00:52:51,885
It is only custom and proper.

904
00:52:51,972 --> 00:52:55,323
A parting gift for my
only flesh and blood.

905
00:52:57,586 --> 00:53:03,113
Before my duties as queen
to my new king

906
00:53:03,201 --> 00:53:07,205
fill my days and my hand.

907
00:53:10,338 --> 00:53:12,253
Indeed.

908
00:53:12,340 --> 00:53:16,431
Now far be it from me
to rush propriety.

909
00:53:16,518 --> 00:53:21,088
And I surely look forward
to viewing the finished product.

910
00:53:41,413 --> 00:53:46,592
Must the entire sea move
against Odysseus, Lord Poseidon?

911
00:53:46,679 --> 00:53:49,986
Behavior from such a god
seems small and petty.

912
00:53:50,073 --> 00:53:51,292
This isn’t petty.

913
00:53:51,379 --> 00:53:53,381
This is revenge!

914
00:53:53,468 --> 00:53:57,167
For my son, for what
Odysseus did to my son.

915
00:53:57,255 --> 00:54:03,173
Your son, Lord Poseidon, was
harming and murdering innocents.

916
00:54:03,261 --> 00:54:06,916
Perhaps he will
think twice next time.

917
00:54:07,003 --> 00:54:09,832
Enjoy your pet hero
while you can, Athena.

918
00:54:09,919 --> 00:54:11,094
With your gifts.

919
00:54:11,181 --> 00:54:12,574
Your meddling matters not.

920
00:54:12,661 --> 00:54:16,186
Odysseus will not
leave my ocean alive.

921
00:54:27,067 --> 00:54:29,112
Polites, how is she?

922
00:54:29,199 --> 00:54:30,810
Is she patched up yet?

923
00:54:30,897 --> 00:54:32,681
She’s looking pretty good.

924
00:54:32,768 --> 00:54:35,162
Pretty good,
a little bit more...

925
00:54:35,249 --> 00:54:36,772
beeswax and
she’ll be good to go.

926
00:54:36,859 --> 00:54:39,079
Good, good.

927
00:54:39,166 --> 00:54:41,560
Set a course for home, Alkimos.

928
00:54:41,647 --> 00:54:43,170
Yes, my king.

929
00:54:43,257 --> 00:54:46,869
For home, and for our rewards.

930
00:54:46,956 --> 00:54:49,263
Gold.

931
00:54:49,350 --> 00:54:53,441
Yes, yes, indeed, Polites.
Indeed.

932
00:54:53,528 --> 00:54:55,748
And just on that,
by the way, I’ve been meaning

933
00:54:55,835 --> 00:54:56,966
to tell you, meaning
to ask about...

934
00:54:57,053 --> 00:54:58,098
Odysseus!

935
00:55:01,841 --> 00:55:03,233
A monster!

936
00:55:03,321 --> 00:55:05,323
The Scylla!
Poseidon’s lap dog!

937
00:55:06,976 --> 00:55:08,238
Alkimos, no!

938
00:55:12,417 --> 00:55:13,331
Odysseus!

939
00:55:19,815 --> 00:55:22,252
What do we do?

940
00:55:22,340 --> 00:55:23,863
We try to outrun it.

941
00:55:23,950 --> 00:55:25,125
The wind...

942
00:55:25,212 --> 00:55:26,518
The wind will guide us.

943
00:55:31,436 --> 00:55:33,873
Yes... Yes, faster!

944
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:35,091
Faster!

945
00:55:42,621 --> 00:55:43,752
No!

946
00:55:47,887 --> 00:55:50,542
No! There’s not enough wind
at our back!

947
00:55:51,804 --> 00:55:54,807
Not enough wind to fight!

948
00:55:54,894 --> 00:55:56,461
Only the monster at our heels!

949
00:55:56,548 --> 00:55:57,853
Damn my pride!

950
00:56:02,902 --> 00:56:05,644
Athena! Athena!

951
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:08,298
I’m asking for help!

952
00:56:13,869 --> 00:56:15,349
Another gift, then?

953
00:56:15,436 --> 00:56:17,177
Goddess!
We need weapons!

954
00:56:19,309 --> 00:56:21,529
Ask, and it will be yours.

955
00:56:21,616 --> 00:56:24,837
Strategy. And sight.

956
00:56:24,924 --> 00:56:26,273
Sight.

957
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:27,666
That will be my second gift.

958
00:56:29,450 --> 00:56:30,799
To see what is
right in front of you.

959
00:56:32,018 --> 00:56:33,628
What is right in front of me?

960
00:56:33,715 --> 00:56:35,587
What? What does that mean?

961
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:42,376
My ship.

962
00:56:42,463 --> 00:56:46,424
You ask for a weapon,
and yet you sail one.

963
00:56:46,511 --> 00:56:47,947
Yes.

964
00:56:48,034 --> 00:56:50,732
Why didn’t I see that before?

965
00:56:50,819 --> 00:56:51,907
The ship is a weapon.

966
00:56:55,650 --> 00:56:58,436
Sometimes you are so
worried about what is ahead,

967
00:56:58,523 --> 00:57:02,004
that you fail to see what
is directly in front of you.

968
00:57:02,091 --> 00:57:03,789
Take heed, Odysseus.

969
00:57:03,876 --> 00:57:06,574
You will defeat the
monsters that surround you.

970
00:57:17,237 --> 00:57:18,630
Odysseus?

971
00:57:18,717 --> 00:57:20,632
Odysseus, you’re steering us...

972
00:57:20,719 --> 00:57:22,503
You steer us right towards it!

973
00:57:22,590 --> 00:57:24,113
Right towards the
jaws of the beast!

974
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:26,638
Not the jaws!
It’s belly!

975
00:57:28,683 --> 00:57:30,555
We’ll run it through
with the prow!

976
00:57:30,642 --> 00:57:32,078
The ship will be our sword!

977
00:57:32,165 --> 00:57:34,297
Yes! Yes!

978
00:57:43,393 --> 00:57:45,439
Odysseus, it’s
not going to work!

979
00:57:45,526 --> 00:57:48,529
We’ve got to turn her
around or we’re done for!

980
00:57:48,616 --> 00:57:50,400
The current is too strong!

981
00:57:50,488 --> 00:57:51,619
It’s not working!

982
00:57:54,666 --> 00:57:57,146
She’s going to eat us alive!

983
00:57:57,233 --> 00:57:58,844
Hold fast, Polites!

984
00:57:58,931 --> 00:58:01,237
We need momentum!

985
00:58:01,324 --> 00:58:02,238
I’m trying!

986
00:58:18,428 --> 00:58:20,822
That’s the only
belly-full you’ll get today!

987
00:58:20,909 --> 00:58:22,084
Yes, Odysseus!

988
00:58:27,568 --> 00:58:28,569
Yes!

989
00:58:34,575 --> 00:58:36,098
Come on, Telemachus.

990
00:58:36,185 --> 00:58:38,927
You must be ready to fight!

991
00:58:40,799 --> 00:58:41,669
Or we’ll lose everything.

992
00:58:44,542 --> 00:58:46,892
Come home, father.
Quickly.

993
00:58:57,990 --> 00:59:00,993
The cloak you make
for me is nearly finished.

994
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:04,736
And there are unwanted
guests in your house.

995
00:59:04,823 --> 00:59:06,607
About the cloak...

996
00:59:06,694 --> 00:59:08,087
Alas, my son.

997
00:59:08,174 --> 00:59:11,438
I fear there is still
so much work to be done.

998
00:59:11,525 --> 00:59:14,572
This cloak may take
many days to finish.

999
00:59:16,399 --> 00:59:18,184
You’re undoing what you’ve done.

1000
00:59:18,271 --> 00:59:19,402
If only I could.

1001
00:59:21,404 --> 00:59:23,406
Mother, you’ve
done nothing wrong.

1002
00:59:23,493 --> 00:59:24,886
It’s just...

1003
00:59:24,973 --> 00:59:26,801
What?

1004
00:59:26,888 --> 00:59:28,716
Undoing the cloak every night.

1005
00:59:31,327 --> 00:59:32,764
Sometimes clever
is better than good.

1006
00:59:36,332 --> 00:59:39,031
I just pray it buys
us the time he needs.

1007
00:59:39,118 --> 00:59:41,163
And if it doesn’t, then
I will be ready to fight.

1008
00:59:42,904 --> 00:59:45,211
No one is taking
this kingdom from us.

1009
00:59:46,865 --> 00:59:47,735
No one.

1010
00:59:49,476 --> 00:59:50,782
And I will be ready to fight.

1011
01:00:08,887 --> 01:00:09,757
Odysseus?

1012
01:00:11,803 --> 01:00:13,761
Odysseus.

1013
01:00:13,848 --> 01:00:17,330
Treacherous waters ahead.

1014
01:00:17,417 --> 01:00:19,854
♪ Come to us

1015
01:00:19,941 --> 01:00:21,421
That’s treacherous
waters indeed.

1016
01:00:21,508 --> 01:00:23,075
It means we’re getting
close to land now.

1017
01:00:23,162 --> 01:00:24,903
Huh.

1018
01:00:24,990 --> 01:00:27,688
That’s the first good
thing I’ve heard all day.

1019
01:00:27,775 --> 01:00:29,472
We must stay clear
of those rocks.

1020
01:00:29,559 --> 01:00:31,692
And I have less
than a day before...

1021
01:00:31,779 --> 01:00:34,216
Yeah, before someone claims
what is rightfully yours.

1022
01:00:34,303 --> 01:00:36,915
I know, my king.
I know.

1023
01:00:37,002 --> 01:00:38,003
I am no king here.

1024
01:00:39,831 --> 01:00:41,397
There is only one
king in the ocean.

1025
01:00:41,484 --> 01:00:43,312
And I hold no favor
with him now.

1026

Can you hear that?

1029
01:00:48,404 --> 01:00:50,406
- Music?
- No.

1030
01:00:50,493 --> 01:00:52,104
No, not the songs...

1031
01:00:52,191 --> 01:00:53,627
of the sirens, no.

1032

Cover your ears!
Protect yourself!

They want me to get my reward.

1045
01:01:23,831 --> 01:01:25,050
Rewards for a good man.

1046
01:01:25,137 --> 01:01:28,009
No. No!

It’s in my head!

They speak to me.

1050
01:01:41,893 --> 01:01:45,679
Telemachus is the
real problem here.

1051
01:01:45,766 --> 01:01:49,596
The woman?
I can handle.

1052
01:01:49,683 --> 01:01:50,945
But the boy?

1053
01:01:53,252 --> 01:01:58,387
Any loyal dog would
struggle obeying a new master.

1054
01:01:58,474 --> 01:02:00,302
And I wouldn’t blame him.

1055
01:02:00,389 --> 01:02:04,045
But once this is all mine,

1056
01:02:04,132 --> 01:02:07,657
he will still be a
thorn in my side.

1057
01:02:07,745 --> 01:02:11,270
And his mother falling
into line won’t help.

1058
01:02:11,357 --> 01:02:13,272
No.

1059
01:02:13,359 --> 01:02:17,189
He’s going to require
a far stronger hand.

1060
01:02:17,276 --> 01:02:19,104
It’s not a matter of if.

1061
01:02:19,191 --> 01:02:22,498
Simply put, the question
becomes do I take care

1062
01:02:22,585 --> 01:02:26,720
of Telemachus now, or do
I take care of him later?

1063
01:02:30,550 --> 01:02:33,292
It’s like my father used to say.

1064
01:02:33,379 --> 01:02:37,600
Only a fool leaves
today’s jobs until tomorrow.

1065
01:02:37,687 --> 01:02:42,823
Well, Antinous is no fool.

1066
01:02:46,218 --> 01:02:47,828
Neither will this loyal dog.

1067
01:02:54,226 --> 01:02:56,141
No.

1068
01:02:56,228 --> 01:02:58,230
This loyal dog will be
ready for you, Antinous.

01:03:06,804 --> 01:03:09,110
My reward...

1070
01:03:09,197 --> 01:03:10,068

What?
What are you doing?

1073
01:03:15,464 --> 01:03:17,902
My rewards, my gold!
They’re speaking to me!

1074
01:03:17,989 --> 01:03:19,468
- Not when we’re so close!
- Yes!

1075
01:03:19,555 --> 01:03:21,601
No! Just pass the rocks,
and we’re nearly home!

1076
01:03:21,688 --> 01:03:22,950
They speak to me!

1077

Polites!
Polites!

1078
01:03:24,778 --> 01:03:26,432
Wake up!

1079
01:03:26,519 --> 01:03:27,868
Take this beeswax!

1080
01:03:27,955 --> 01:03:28,869
Put it in your ears!

1081
01:03:28,956 --> 01:03:30,784
We must block their song!

1082
01:03:30,871 --> 01:03:33,395
We must block
the siren’s song!

1083
01:03:33,482 --> 01:03:34,440
Block it!

1084
01:03:34,527 --> 01:03:36,572
We cannot hear them!

1085
01:03:36,659 --> 01:03:37,922
We’ve got to stay clear of them!

1086
01:03:38,009 --> 01:03:39,184
We’ve got to stay away!

1087
01:03:39,271 --> 01:03:40,576
Steady on the course...

1088
01:03:40,663 --> 01:03:42,840
until we can’t hear them!

1089
01:03:42,927 --> 01:03:44,232
Steer away...

1090
01:03:44,319 --> 01:03:45,233
Steer away.

1091
01:03:52,414 --> 01:03:54,329
That song...
That song...

1092
01:03:56,070 --> 01:03:57,550
Oh...

1093
01:03:57,637 --> 01:03:59,073
I want to hear that song.

1094
01:04:00,379 --> 01:04:01,684
Odysseus!

1095
01:04:05,297 --> 01:04:07,516
- That song...
- Odysseus!

1096
01:04:07,603 --> 01:04:09,736
Odysseus!
Don’t listen to them!

1097
01:04:09,823 --> 01:04:11,042
Here!

1098
01:04:11,129 --> 01:04:12,913
No, the wax!

1099
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:13,871
The wax!

1100
01:04:15,002 --> 01:04:16,743
The song...

1101
01:04:16,830 --> 01:04:20,573
Odysseus! We’re leaving!
We’re getting out of here!

1102
01:04:20,660 --> 01:04:22,053
I want to hear that song.

1103
01:04:24,142 --> 01:04:25,404
They know nothing but death!

1104
01:04:25,491 --> 01:04:27,232
- They want to help us.
- They do not.

1105
01:04:27,319 --> 01:04:29,408
- They do want to help us.
- They don’t want to help us.

1106
01:04:29,495 --> 01:04:31,192
- Polites...
- Think of your family!

1107
01:04:31,279 --> 01:04:33,325
- Polites, they want to help us.
- No, no, no!

1108
01:04:33,412 --> 01:04:34,543
They will not!

1109
01:04:34,630 --> 01:04:35,718
Polites, they know
how to get home.

1110
01:04:35,805 --> 01:04:37,155
We’ve come this far!

1111
01:04:37,242 --> 01:04:38,591
- Polites...
- We’ve come this far!

1112
01:04:38,678 --> 01:04:39,679
- They only know death!
- They have wisdom!

1113
01:04:39,766 --> 01:04:40,767
They only know death!

1114
01:04:42,203 --> 01:04:43,161
Their song is wisdom.

1115
01:04:43,248 --> 01:04:45,250
Hey! Snap out of it!

1116
01:04:45,337 --> 01:04:46,555
They want to help us.

1117
01:04:46,642 --> 01:04:48,644
They know what
lies beneath the waves.

1118
01:04:48,731 --> 01:04:49,776
I must hear this song.

1119
01:04:51,430 --> 01:04:53,258
Song of the sirens.

1120
01:04:53,345 --> 01:04:55,347
What a beautiful song.

1121
01:04:55,434 --> 01:04:56,609
Huh.

1122
01:05:01,005 --> 01:05:02,528
They want to help us get home.

1123
01:05:04,791 --> 01:05:06,749
They do.

1124
01:05:06,836 --> 01:05:07,750
They have knowledge.

1125
01:05:07,837 --> 01:05:10,928
Polites, they have wisdom.

1126
01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:13,582
- Odysseus...
- Their beautiful song.

1127
01:05:13,669 --> 01:05:15,062
I must hear it.

1128
01:05:15,149 --> 01:05:17,151
Odysseus, they know
nothing but death.

1129
01:05:19,458 --> 01:05:20,807
They have knowledge.

1130
01:05:20,894 --> 01:05:22,461
They know nothing but death.

1131
01:05:22,548 --> 01:05:23,636
Think of home.

1132
01:05:26,639 --> 01:05:28,510
The song.

1133
01:05:28,597 --> 01:05:31,035
No, Polites, we
must steer towards them.

1134
01:05:31,122 --> 01:05:32,079
Polites, they want to help us!

1135
01:05:32,166 --> 01:05:33,385
No, they don’t!

1136
01:05:33,472 --> 01:05:35,735
Yes!
Their song!

1137
01:05:38,738 --> 01:05:39,782
I want to hear their song...

1138
01:05:46,572 --> 01:05:49,531
Please, Polites.
They sing for me!

1139
01:05:49,618 --> 01:05:51,055
Odysseus!

1140
01:05:51,142 --> 01:05:53,361
Odysseus!
Hear me, Odysseus!

1141
01:05:55,537 --> 01:05:59,019
You must not listen
to them, Odysseus!

1142
01:05:59,106 --> 01:06:00,673
I can only hear their song.

1143
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:02,196
Odysseus!

1144
01:06:02,283 --> 01:06:03,937
No!

1145
01:06:04,024 --> 01:06:05,460
You can’t hear me
over their song!

1146
01:06:06,548 --> 01:06:08,289
Odysseus!

1147
01:06:08,376 --> 01:06:11,466
You will die if you don’t
make it past these rocks!

1148
01:06:11,553 --> 01:06:16,297
And if you cannot hear me,
I cannot help you!

1149
01:06:16,384 --> 01:06:17,777
I cannot help you.

1150
01:06:20,127 --> 01:06:21,433
Odysseus!

1151
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:22,825
Odysseus, no!

1152
01:06:26,786 --> 01:06:29,832
Polites, we must
steer away from the rocks.

1153
01:06:29,919 --> 01:06:31,356
Please steer away from them.

1154
01:06:35,795 --> 01:06:37,623
We must get to Ithaca.

1155
01:06:37,710 --> 01:06:39,059
They will give us
a hero’s welcome.

1156
01:06:39,146 --> 01:06:40,626
A king’s welcome.

1157
01:06:44,543 --> 01:06:46,197
Damn the sirens.

1158
01:06:46,284 --> 01:06:48,677
And damn these seas, too.

1159
01:06:48,764 --> 01:06:50,984
Polites, please forgive me.

1160
01:06:51,071 --> 01:06:53,943
You have saved
both of our lives.

1161
01:06:54,031 --> 01:06:56,294
It was an honor, my king.

1162
01:06:56,381 --> 01:06:58,644
But now our course is set.

1163
01:06:58,731 --> 01:07:00,559
You are almost home.

1164
01:07:00,646 --> 01:07:02,169
And that is your reward.

1165
01:07:03,823 --> 01:07:07,957
But mind, my king,
my reward is treasure.

1166
01:07:08,045 --> 01:07:10,351
You must listen to me.
You don’t understand.

1167
01:07:10,438 --> 01:07:12,701
No, no, no, I do understand.

1168
01:07:12,788 --> 01:07:15,139
You have a gift from the gods.

1169
01:07:15,226 --> 01:07:16,836
And Ithaca, now
that is your reward.

1170
01:07:16,923 --> 01:07:17,924
Now I am in pursuit of mine.

1171
01:07:18,011 --> 01:07:20,579
You said, your words.

1172
01:07:20,666 --> 01:07:22,146
What do you mean?

1173
01:07:22,233 --> 01:07:23,843
Gifts for good men.
Did you not?

1174
01:07:23,930 --> 01:07:25,714
Please, you do not understand.

1175
01:07:25,801 --> 01:07:28,804
No, I do understand. It’s you
that doesn’t understand.

1176
01:07:28,891 --> 01:07:30,850
I saw Athena
herself give it to you.

1177
01:07:30,937 --> 01:07:32,678
- I saw her.
- No, no.

1178
01:07:32,765 --> 01:07:34,071
A gift from the gods. Reward.

1179
01:07:34,158 --> 01:07:35,594
No, it’s not a gift.

1180
01:07:35,681 --> 01:07:37,465
- Oh, it’s not a gift?
- No, it’s not.

1181
01:07:37,552 --> 01:07:38,814
I see it.

1182
01:07:38,901 --> 01:07:41,034
I see, clever Polites,
loyal Polites,

1183
01:07:41,121 --> 01:07:42,688
worthy of scars Polites,

1184
01:07:42,775 --> 01:07:45,647
but not worthy of a gift
from the gods, is that it?

1185
01:07:45,734 --> 01:07:47,910
Please listen to me.
Please listen to me.

1186
01:07:47,997 --> 01:07:49,695
Exactly like Troy, is it?

1187
01:07:49,782 --> 01:07:52,089
Exactly like Troy.

1188
01:07:52,176 --> 01:07:53,481
I am going to take
what is owed to me.

1189
01:07:53,568 --> 01:07:55,004
For good men.

1190
01:07:55,092 --> 01:07:58,747
No, no, do not take that.
Do not take that!

1191
01:07:58,834 --> 01:08:00,445
Bring it back.
You do not understand.

1192
01:08:00,532 --> 01:08:02,316
- No, stop.
- I do understand.

1193
01:08:02,403 --> 01:08:04,884
Stop!
Polites, please, please.

1194
01:08:04,971 --> 01:08:08,540
My King, I am only opening this

1195
01:08:08,627 --> 01:08:09,758
because this is
what is owed to me.

1196
01:08:09,845 --> 01:08:11,108
- No.
- Yes.

1197
01:08:22,597 --> 01:08:23,772
Athena.

1198
01:08:25,339 --> 01:08:27,472
Athena, please.

1199
01:08:57,328 --> 01:09:01,158
Perhaps the fates are more
generous than we thought.

1200
01:09:01,245 --> 01:09:02,768
Athena.

1201
01:09:02,855 --> 01:09:05,162
Even the winds had mercy
on you and brought you home.

1202
01:09:07,555 --> 01:09:09,209
Reward. Reward.

1203
01:09:12,473 --> 01:09:17,522
Great Odysseus finally returned
to the shores of Ithaca.

1204
01:09:18,871 --> 01:09:20,177
Ithaca.

1205
01:09:20,264 --> 01:09:24,485
Telemachus...
Penelope!

1206
01:09:24,572 --> 01:09:27,445
The great Odysseus...

1207
01:09:27,532 --> 01:09:29,751
At the end of his ropes.

1208
01:09:31,927 --> 01:09:33,799
No.

1209
01:09:33,886 --> 01:09:34,974
Not yet.
Not quite.

1210
01:09:36,628 --> 01:09:38,673
Look.

1211
01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:40,066
There, Your Majesty.

1212
01:09:46,333 --> 01:09:49,206
Your people are in panic.

1213
01:09:49,293 --> 01:09:51,773
Perhaps there is no more
glory left for you here.

1214
01:09:54,385 --> 01:09:58,084
Penelope and Telemachus
are doing all they can.

1215
01:09:58,171 --> 01:10:01,043
But your city is
being taken by force.

1216
01:10:01,130 --> 01:10:03,611
My world burns.

1217
01:10:03,698 --> 01:10:07,224
And the gods abandon me
with my hands tied.

1218
01:10:07,311 --> 01:10:09,400
I can offer no more aid,
and you know this.

1219
01:10:13,795 --> 01:10:16,537
By breathing wind
into your sails,

1220
01:10:16,624 --> 01:10:20,149
strategizing your
boat as a weapon,

1221
01:10:20,237 --> 01:10:22,804
and giving you a bag of wind,

1222
01:10:22,891 --> 01:10:26,982
your three gifts have been used.

1223
01:10:27,069 --> 01:10:30,725
But great goddess,
I never opened the bag of winds.

1224
01:10:30,812 --> 01:10:34,294
It was Polites.
Polites opened the bag of winds.

1225
01:10:34,381 --> 01:10:36,165
Not I.

1226
01:10:36,253 --> 01:10:37,471
A wrinkle.

1227
01:10:39,473 --> 01:10:43,651
Perhaps it is enough
for the gods to allow me

1228
01:10:43,738 --> 01:10:47,916
to aid you one last
time on your journey.

1229
01:10:48,003 --> 01:10:51,572
I have one boon.
One gift left.

1230
01:10:51,659 --> 01:10:53,922
I just pray I don’t
have to use it.

1231
01:10:54,009 --> 01:10:58,057
Yes, but you cannot
just go home, Odysseus.

1232
01:10:58,144 --> 01:11:00,755
Not anymore.

1233
01:11:00,842 --> 01:11:04,237
The people of Ithaca,
they are a mob.

1234
01:11:04,324 --> 01:11:06,892
They run through the
streets hungry for blood.

1235
01:11:06,979 --> 01:11:08,937
They would have yours.

1236
01:11:09,024 --> 01:11:11,157
You will not make it past them.

1237
01:11:11,244 --> 01:11:14,029
You will not even make it
to your front door.

1238
01:11:14,116 --> 01:11:18,207
And if you did, the suitors
would be waiting for you.

1239
01:11:20,166 --> 01:11:22,516
In disguise.

1240
01:11:22,603 --> 01:11:24,997
In disguise to hide
my face in my own kingdom.

1241
01:11:25,084 --> 01:11:26,825
I shall dress as a
wandering beggar

1242
01:11:26,912 --> 01:11:28,435
and learn how things stand.

1243
01:11:28,522 --> 01:11:31,482
What will you do,
Great Odysseus?

1244
01:11:31,569 --> 01:11:32,961
I will defend my home.

1245
01:11:33,048 --> 01:11:34,572
My family.

1246
01:11:34,659 --> 01:11:36,791
I must stop this
before it’s too late.

1247
01:11:36,878 --> 01:11:38,793
Or even if it’s as you say,

1248
01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:41,970
there’s no glory
left for either of us.

1249
01:11:43,842 --> 01:11:46,235
Finish the game, Odysseus.

1250
01:11:46,323 --> 01:11:48,412
And finish it well.

1251
01:11:48,499 --> 01:11:52,590
For not all gods
have abandoned you.

1252
01:11:52,677 --> 01:11:55,201
And Poseidon still
thirsts for revenge.

1253
01:12:04,558 --> 01:12:06,647
We must do something, Mother.

1254
01:12:06,734 --> 01:12:08,301
No.

1255
01:12:08,388 --> 01:12:09,737
I will not let them kill you.

1256
01:12:09,824 --> 01:12:11,522
You must get
control of the city.

1257
01:12:11,609 --> 01:12:15,090
We will wait until
your father returns.

1258
01:12:15,177 --> 01:12:16,483
Rioting!

1259
01:12:16,570 --> 01:12:18,485
Looting and violence,

1260
01:12:18,572 --> 01:12:21,270
and you want to wait for
Odysseus to return?

1261
01:12:23,272 --> 01:12:25,405
Do you still think
you’ll have a kingdom by then?

1262
01:12:29,757 --> 01:12:33,674
Without a king,
my queen,

1263
01:12:33,761 --> 01:12:38,810
the city succumbs to
its more primal urges.

1264
01:12:38,897 --> 01:12:42,596
I will take your hand
and the crown with it.

1265
01:12:42,683 --> 01:12:47,427
And all will be well
when King Antinous reigns.

1266
01:12:48,863 --> 01:12:51,257
It is time, my lord.

1267
01:12:51,344 --> 01:12:54,391
Time enough indeed
for the final challenge.

1268
01:12:57,742 --> 01:13:01,310
No more games, loyal widow.

1269
01:13:01,398 --> 01:13:03,704
Being king is no game.

1270
01:13:03,791 --> 01:13:05,227
And only the worthy
wear our crown

1271
01:13:05,314 --> 01:13:06,968
and complete this final task.

1272
01:13:09,710 --> 01:13:13,801
Only our king can fire an
arrow through those axe blades.

1273
01:13:13,888 --> 01:13:16,848
And only our king has done it.

1274
01:13:16,935 --> 01:13:21,113
So are you our king, Antinous?

1275
01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:26,814
Or does Odysseus, even in
his absence, carry the crown?

1276
01:13:26,901 --> 01:13:29,643
You’re not worth of such
a great feat!

1277
01:13:29,730 --> 01:13:31,210
I challenge you for
my Father’s kingdom!

1278
01:13:31,297 --> 01:13:32,820
Snake in the grass!

1279
01:13:35,301 --> 01:13:37,085
Stay in your place, pup!

1280
01:13:37,172 --> 01:13:39,174
Telemachus!

1281
01:13:39,261 --> 01:13:43,222
But if I must, I will
teach you to keep your place!

1282
01:13:44,919 --> 01:13:47,313
The crown will never be yours!

1283
01:13:49,794 --> 01:13:51,317
Snake in the grass!

1284
01:13:57,845 --> 01:14:00,239
Interloper! Villain!

1285
01:14:00,326 --> 01:14:01,893
Yes, I am.

1286
01:14:03,416 --> 01:14:06,245
And much worse.

1287
01:14:06,332 --> 01:14:08,029
Begging your apologies.

1288
01:14:08,116 --> 01:14:11,250
I was merely returning
the young man his sword.

1289
01:14:14,775 --> 01:14:16,734
I...

1290
01:14:16,821 --> 01:14:20,389
I would like to ask the young
lady if I may compete.

1291
01:14:20,477 --> 01:14:21,478
Another suitor?

1292
01:14:24,655 --> 01:14:26,221
With the queen’s
permission, of course.

1293
01:14:32,576 --> 01:14:34,534
We need no more suitors!

1294
01:14:34,621 --> 01:14:35,883
I will--

1295
01:14:35,970 --> 01:14:37,232
The courtesy of
my husband’s house

1296
01:14:37,319 --> 01:14:38,712
is much diminished
as of late.

1297
01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:44,718
You may compete.

1298
01:14:44,805 --> 01:14:47,808
And I pray you might
restore what has been lost.

1299
01:14:47,895 --> 01:14:51,943
Only Odysseus can put an
arrow through those axe blades.

1300
01:14:52,030 --> 01:14:56,121
So, let’s see how good you are.

1301
01:14:56,208 --> 01:14:57,122
Good.

1302
01:14:59,777 --> 01:15:02,344
Clever.

1303
01:15:02,431 --> 01:15:03,737
Clever is better than good.

1304
01:15:15,401 --> 01:15:17,490
It’s a farce!

1305
01:15:17,577 --> 01:15:20,232
He can’t even keep the
arrow straight, my queen.

1306
01:15:21,886 --> 01:15:24,889
Best keep your eye
on the target, old man.

1307
01:15:27,065 --> 01:15:30,459
So, only Odysseus
himself can make this shot.

1308
01:15:48,347 --> 01:15:50,871
And I must be Odysseus.

1309
01:15:50,958 --> 01:15:53,091
But Odysseus is dead!

1310
01:15:53,178 --> 01:15:55,180
- No!
- Father!

1311
01:15:57,791 --> 01:16:01,578
You have overstayed your
welcome in my house too long!

1312
01:16:01,665 --> 01:16:02,709
Antinous!

1313
01:16:04,755 --> 01:16:06,539
You can leave on
your own accord.

1314
01:16:06,626 --> 01:16:08,062
Never!

1315
01:16:08,149 --> 01:16:11,109
This kingdom is mine!

1316
01:16:11,196 --> 01:16:12,937
Or you can go another way!

1317
01:16:19,683 --> 01:16:23,687
Death is too good for you.

1318
01:16:23,774 --> 01:16:25,210
Watch your tongue!

1319
01:16:25,297 --> 01:16:27,908
Or we will take it from you.

1320
01:16:27,995 --> 01:16:29,170
No!

1321
01:16:36,047 --> 01:16:37,222
My gods!

1322
01:16:38,919 --> 01:16:40,138
Help me!

1323
01:16:40,225 --> 01:16:42,096
Have mercy on me!

1324
01:16:58,547 --> 01:17:00,027
Here I am, monster!

1325
01:17:05,119 --> 01:17:09,036
I’ll slaughter you and
your family,

1326
01:17:09,123 --> 01:17:11,604
and the whole of Ithaca!

1327
01:17:11,691 --> 01:17:13,040
No! No!

1328
01:17:13,127 --> 01:17:14,694
Here I am! Here I am!

1329
01:17:14,781 --> 01:17:16,391
I’m the one you want!

1330
01:17:16,478 --> 01:17:18,437
Take me! Take me!

1331
01:17:20,134 --> 01:17:21,222
Father!

1332
01:17:22,789 --> 01:17:23,790
Father!

1333
01:17:46,378 --> 01:17:47,379
Odysseus?

1334
01:17:49,163 --> 01:17:50,034
Odysseus!

1335
01:17:51,688 --> 01:17:53,080
No!

1336
01:17:53,167 --> 01:17:55,213
What did he say to you, son?

1337
01:17:55,300 --> 01:17:56,997
Tell me!
Tell me quickly!

1338
01:17:57,084 --> 01:17:58,564
What were his
final words to you?

1339
01:17:58,651 --> 01:18:00,305
I don’t understand!

1340
01:18:01,741 --> 01:18:02,655
Telemachus...

1341
01:18:02,742 --> 01:18:05,702
What were his final words?

1342
01:18:05,789 --> 01:18:08,966
He said, third gift.

1343
01:18:10,489 --> 01:18:11,403
Third gift?

1344
01:18:13,448 --> 01:18:14,362
And then...

1345
01:18:15,799 --> 01:18:16,930
And then nothing more.

1346
01:18:22,240 --> 01:18:23,415
So clever.

1347
01:18:24,808 --> 01:18:26,723
The king of Ithaca.

1348
01:18:26,810 --> 01:18:28,550
Clever to his last.

1349
01:18:30,335 --> 01:18:31,249
Oh, goddess Athena.

1350
01:18:32,946 --> 01:18:34,426
My love.

1351
01:18:34,513 --> 01:18:39,213
You have suffered
enough these past many days.

1352
01:18:39,300 --> 01:18:41,650
But the game’s over.

1353
01:18:41,738 --> 01:18:44,088
Odysseus...

1354
01:18:44,175 --> 01:18:45,350
Wins.

1355
01:18:45,437 --> 01:18:47,178
What do you mean?

1356
01:18:47,265 --> 01:18:48,832
He didn’t win.

1357
01:18:48,919 --> 01:18:50,616
He’s dead.
He’s gone!

1358
01:18:50,703 --> 01:18:54,446
Do not be troubled,
son of Odysseus.

1359
01:18:54,533 --> 01:18:58,145
Once again, your
father’s glory honors me.

1360
01:19:00,321 --> 01:19:02,671
With his final breath,

1361
01:19:02,759 --> 01:19:06,327
your husband requested his
last wish.

1362
01:19:09,243 --> 01:19:11,115
May I grant it?

1363
01:19:11,202 --> 01:19:12,072
Yes.

1364
01:19:15,510 --> 01:19:16,424
Yes, please.

1365
01:19:19,950 --> 01:19:23,562
Clever is indeed
greater than good.

1366
01:19:38,055 --> 01:19:39,665
- Father!
- He’s alive!

1367
01:19:42,059 --> 01:19:43,800
Goddess Athena, thank you.

1368
01:19:43,887 --> 01:19:46,324
It was your husband
who outsmarted death.

1369
01:19:48,195 --> 01:19:50,937
I am glad to see
you all reunited.

1370
01:19:59,990 --> 01:20:01,774
My son...

1371
01:20:01,861 --> 01:20:02,775
Oh, my son.

1372
01:20:05,082 --> 01:20:05,952
I was gone.

1373
01:20:07,519 --> 01:20:08,476
The goddess.

1374
01:20:11,566 --> 01:20:15,744
Athena has granted me
my third wish.

1375
01:20:17,746 --> 01:20:20,532
My father more clever
than the gods themselves.

1376
01:20:28,018 --> 01:20:30,455
The river Styx can wait...

1377
01:20:33,719 --> 01:20:35,112
But a moment longer.

1378
01:20:36,287 --> 01:20:37,157
Oh...

1379
01:20:38,811 --> 01:20:40,117
You took your time, old man.

1380
01:20:41,988 --> 01:20:43,555
The wind.

1381
01:20:43,642 --> 01:20:44,773
The wind was against me.

1382
01:20:47,037 --> 01:20:50,214
I have heard such stories.

1383
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:57,134
You seem as if from a dream.

1384
01:20:57,221 --> 01:20:59,136
Are you really here?

1385
01:20:59,223 --> 01:21:01,878
Or are the gods
still playing games.

1386
01:21:04,489 --> 01:21:09,886
I have not the strength
for their sport any longer.

1387
01:21:09,973 --> 01:21:11,148
Nor do I.

1388
01:21:11,235 --> 01:21:12,671
Nor do I, my queen.

1389
01:21:16,066 --> 01:21:19,591
King of Ithaca, why have
you returned to this place?

1390
01:21:25,553 --> 01:21:29,079
I have but one goal.

1391
01:21:29,166 --> 01:21:30,036
One destination.

1392
01:21:33,518 --> 01:21:37,739
Not Ithaca, not this house,

1393
01:21:37,826 --> 01:21:39,480
not the crown was my goal.

1394
01:21:43,049 --> 01:21:46,313
I care not for the seas
or the skies.

1395
01:21:48,533 --> 01:21:51,840
I sought no monsters, nor gods.

1396
01:21:54,756 --> 01:21:56,323
I only sought you.

1397
01:21:58,760 --> 01:22:00,153
Only you.

1398
01:22:00,240 --> 01:22:05,593
You... You were the
safe harbor I fought

1399
01:22:05,680 --> 01:22:09,075
so desperately to get home to.

1400
01:22:18,302 --> 01:22:19,999
And home you will stay.

1401
01:22:21,479 --> 01:22:22,349
Yes, I will.

1402
01:22:26,875 --> 01:22:27,833
Home.

1403
01:22:30,227 --> 01:22:32,359
The only journey
worth the fight.

1404
01:22:39,018 --> 01:22:40,802
Home.

1405
01:22:40,889 --> 01:22:42,239
Home at last.
