Wait. But this is my...
I know.

00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,040
You do the deed yourself
183
00:19:06,110 --> 00:19:08,770
you prove your loyalty to me
beyond a shadow of a doubt.
184
00:19:10,020 --> 00:19:12,480
I'll permit you
to make it quick.
185
00:19:15,290 --> 00:19:17,090
Mathayus! I'm sorry.
186
00:19:20,890 --> 00:19:22,380
Is this true?
187
00:19:25,030 --> 00:19:26,120
Did you slander the king?
188
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:27,360
Mathayus! Please!
189
00:19:27,430 --> 00:19:28,530
Answer me!
190
00:19:29,940 --> 00:19:31,870
Are the charges true?
191
00:19:32,710 --> 00:19:33,900
Yes.
192
00:19:34,410 --> 00:19:36,740
Then you deserve
what's coming to you.
193
00:19:36,810 --> 00:19:40,610
You've not only betrayed your king
but your family as well.
194
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,050
And you've disgraced
our father's name.
195

Whatever you do
don't flinch.
196
00:20:02,270 --> 00:20:03,670
Run Noah!
197
00:20:11,110 --> 00:20:12,580

198
00:20:13,580 --> 00:20:14,980
No!
Go.

Mathayus behind you!
201
00:20:45,850 --> 00:20:47,750
You killed my father.
202
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:51,580
This is for him.

I am not following you around.

Well I don't know who smells worse
him or his sheep.
248
00:25:45,910 --> 00:25:49,040
Mathayus I just want
a life of adventure.
249
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,580
And battle.
Like a man.
250
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,140
There's one small problem.
251
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:55,950
You're not a man.
252
00:25:56,020 --> 00:25:57,320
Thanks for noticing.
253
00:25:58,220 --> 00:25:59,450
Hey!
254
00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:02,480
I heard you tried
to kill Sargon.
255
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:06,090
Hey listen.
I will kill that bastard some day.
256
00:26:06,530 --> 00:26:08,720
Everyone knows he makes sacrifices
to the dark gods
257
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,890
and they've given him
black magical powers.
258
00:26:10,970 --> 00:26:12,940
You're gonna need
all the help you can get.
259

Layla that's nice but a girl would
only get in the way.

I'm not just a girl.
261
00:26:16,140 --> 00:26:19,170
Look we're not kids anymore
playing games.
262
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,610
I see your Black Scorpion training
also included lessons
263
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,540
on how to become
an arrogant jerk.

00:26:23,610 --> 00:26:26,640

with flying colors.

Go home Layla.
Make the sheep merchant's life miserable.
266
00:26:31,120 --> 00:26:34,420
Fine! If that's how you want it.
You're on your own.
267
00:26:34,790 --> 00:26:36,190
Fine.
Fine.

Ten pieces.

Ticket to Egypt for one.
270
00:26:48,370 --> 00:26:49,810
Ten pieces.
271
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,310
Ten? That's pretty steep.
272
00:26:52,380 --> 00:26:54,210
Plus one for insurance.
273
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,410
And I highly recommend it
because there are pirates
274
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,040
hostile natives
and hurricanes.
275
00:27:00,050 --> 00:27:01,710
Just the ticket.
276
00:27:05,260 --> 00:27:07,590
Piracy has already
started if you ask me.

00:27:09,230 --> 00:27:10,420
Ten pieces.
279
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:15,860
Pardon me.
Excuse me.

What are you
talking about?
282
00:27:18,370 --> 00:27:20,200
I left the line for 10 seconds
to relieve my bladder.
283
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:21,830
Liar. Greek.
284
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:26,440
Madam I would caution you
never to mix those two words together.
285
00:27:27,580 --> 00:27:28,840
Cretin.
286
00:27:30,290 --> 00:27:32,650
To the land of the pharaohs
my good man.
287
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,160
Ten pieces.
288
00:27:38,230 --> 00:27:39,520
Ticket.
289
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,510
You are following me.
290
00:27:57,810 --> 00:27:59,040
Admit it.
291
00:27:59,120 --> 00:28:01,420
You know this may come
as a shock to you
292
00:28:01,490 --> 00:28:04,920
but not everything
in the world happens because of you.
293
00:28:04,990 --> 00:28:06,580
Then why are you
going to Egypt?
294
00:28:06,660 --> 00:28:07,990
Because...
295
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:12,550
Everyone should go and see the pyramids
once in their lives.
296
00:28:13,070 --> 00:28:15,300
Why are you going to Egypt?
297
00:28:15,930 --> 00:28:17,130
Personal matters
298
00:28:17,540 --> 00:28:19,600
which don't concern you.
299
00:28:19,940 --> 00:28:23,930
Don't play coy with me.
You know I'll get it out of you anyway.
300
00:28:27,250 --> 00:28:28,240
All right.
301
00:28:28,310 --> 00:28:31,680
My father once fought for the pharaoh's
private guard and saved his life.
302
00:28:31,750 --> 00:28:34,280
So I'm going to ask if in return
he'll let me borrow
303
00:28:34,350 --> 00:28:37,350
the Spear of Osiris
to help me defeat Sargon.
304
00:28:38,190 --> 00:28:40,250
The Pharaoh of Egypt
305
00:28:41,430 --> 00:28:44,230
is going to lend one of the most
fabled weapons in history
306
00:28:44,300 --> 00:28:47,360
to a 19-year-old kid
he's never even heard of?
307
00:28:47,900 --> 00:28:49,230
I don't remember
asking your opinion.
308
00:28:49,300 --> 00:28:50,930
Actually
309
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,370
I'm afraid she's right.
It wouldn't work.
310
00:28:55,210 --> 00:28:58,010
But mainly for the simple reason
that the Spear of Osiris
311
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,980
is only effective
against Egyptian monsters.
312
00:29:01,050 --> 00:29:04,580
Such as the winged scarab
sphinxes and cursed mummies.
313
00:29:05,850 --> 00:29:07,850
And you know this how?
314
00:29:08,390 --> 00:29:10,950
Let's just say
I'm well connected.
315
00:29:11,030 --> 00:29:13,360
Really? And who
are you exactly?
316
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,790
Aristophanes of Naxos.
317
00:29:16,870 --> 00:29:20,500
Not to be confused with the Aristophanes
from Corinth. That hack.
318
00:29:20,570 --> 00:29:23,560
I speak 20 languages fluently
and another 20 passably.
319
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,510
So if you need
any translation services...
320
00:29:25,580 --> 00:29:28,740
Yes yes. How did you learn
about the Spear of Osiris?
321
00:29:28,810 --> 00:29:32,210
I am a poet and playwright by trade
and sometimes a musician.
322
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,980
And was most recently
court poet to the king of Elam.
323
00:29:37,220 --> 00:29:41,120
Petty despot. May he rot in the
underworld for his lack of esthetic taste.
324
00:29:41,190 --> 00:29:44,390
And learned of it from one of
his high priests.
325
00:29:44,460 --> 00:29:47,400
But you are thinking
along the right path.
326
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,200
To defeat a man like Sargon
well-versed in the black arts
327
00:29:51,270 --> 00:29:54,100
one would require
a potent weapon indeed.
328
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:56,770
Like?
329
00:29:57,380 --> 00:29:58,780
Let's see.
330
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,010
There's the Hammer of Zeus.
No too unwieldy.
331
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,740
The Shield of Cronos.
That's completely discredited.
332
00:30:04,820 --> 00:30:06,150
The Cloak of...
333
00:30:06,220 --> 00:30:10,750
I've got it!
The Sword of Damocles!
334
00:30:11,860 --> 00:30:13,090
The what?
335
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,090
Damocles. You know.
336
00:30:17,230 --> 00:30:18,720
The one condemned to die
a thousand deaths
337
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:22,630
by the very hand of the sword that he used
to kill King Philpman.
338
00:30:24,140 --> 00:30:25,570
(GROANS)
339
00:30:25,710 --> 00:30:28,540
What do they teach you
in Akkadian schools these days?
340
00:30:28,610 --> 00:30:31,040
Not to touch
other men's swords.
341
00:30:31,550 --> 00:30:33,610
Well in any case
342
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,670
according to Book Five of
Herodotus' Histories
343
00:30:36,750 --> 00:30:40,650
Damocles' infamous sword was transformed
by a lightning bolt from Zeus
344
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,750
into a wondrous weapon whose blade
could cut through anything.
345
00:30:44,830 --> 00:30:46,850
Mortal or immortal.
346
00:30:46,930 --> 00:30:50,460
And presented as a gift
to the Queen of the Underworld.
347
00:30:50,530 --> 00:30:53,330
You're saying this sword
can cut through anything?
348
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:54,840
Oh please.
349
00:30:55,540 --> 00:30:56,870
Anything.
350
00:30:58,110 --> 00:31:00,470
And you know
where this sword is?
351
00:31:00,540 --> 00:31:03,140
This has to be the most harebrained
scheme I've heard yet today
352
00:31:03,210 --> 00:31:05,340
and that is saying plenty.
353
00:31:05,420 --> 00:31:07,780
Oh and you
have a better idea.
354
00:31:10,060 --> 00:31:11,850
Okay. I've decided.
355
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,490
We're gonna continue
on our journey to Knossos.
356
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,650
And you're gonna lead me
to the Sword of Damocles.
357
00:31:18,730 --> 00:31:22,360
My friend such a journey would be
fraught with perils.
358
00:31:22,430 --> 00:31:25,460

with her dowry that easily.

378

Akkadian women are just as handy with
a dagger as Akkadian men.

But then we need
to find the labyrinth.
399
00:34:03,710 --> 00:34:06,440

lies within the labyrinth.

For three days and nights my son has
slept the sleep of the living dead.
1079
01:42:04,200 --> 01:42:06,030
Bring him back to us
1080
01:42:06,470 --> 01:42:08,800
or take him please
I beg you.
1081
01:42:18,020 --> 01:42:19,850
(CHUCKLES)
What's that stench?
1082
01:42:29,260 --> 01:42:30,890
I would think I've earned a thank you.
1083
01:42:30,960 --> 01:42:33,450
Of course I never planned
on serving that wretch.
1084
01:42:33,530 --> 01:42:36,330
My words will tell your
story well my friend.
1085
01:42:36,400 --> 01:42:39,100
In time your exploits will be renowned.
1086
01:42:39,170 --> 01:42:40,870
If you'll just
1087
01:42:41,440 --> 01:42:42,810
let go.
1088
01:42:45,110 --> 01:42:46,270
Hey.
1089
01:42:49,880 --> 01:42:51,410
Welcome back.
1090
01:43:02,400 --> 01:43:05,830
HIGH PRIEST: Citizens of
Akkad I give you your new king.
1091
01:43:05,900 --> 01:43:08,530
Son of Hammurabi
Shalmaneser.
1092
01:43:15,310 --> 01:43:19,840
People of Akkad we have
passed through a very hard time.
1093
01:43:20,620 --> 01:43:23,210
But the sun is rising again.
1094
01:43:25,520 --> 01:43:27,280
Where is the Greek?
1095
01:43:28,090 --> 01:43:31,650
He said something about
Olympia and Neptune's Trident.
1096
01:43:32,030 --> 01:43:34,020
But he wanted you
to have this.
1097
01:43:34,100 --> 01:43:36,160
He said you'd understand.
1098
01:43:40,900 --> 01:43:42,100
What?
1099
01:43:45,380 --> 01:43:46,670
I think he'll do quite well.
1100
01:43:46,740 --> 01:43:51,040
Our land the people's
land will prosper again!
1101
01:43:56,490 --> 01:43:57,610
People of Akkad...
1102
01:43:57,690 --> 01:43:59,450
Should have been you.
1103
01:44:00,120 --> 01:44:03,030
No thanks.
Not my cup of tea.
1104
01:44:04,530 --> 01:44:05,790
And us?
1105
01:44:11,840 --> 01:44:13,460
We'll be fine.
1106
01:44:13,770 --> 01:44:16,470
It would have been nice to
live in a beautiful palace
1107
01:44:16,540 --> 01:44:19,740
with lots of servants
and fine linens.
1108
01:44:21,110 --> 01:44:23,270
I thought you wanted to be a warrior
1109
01:44:23,350 --> 01:44:25,410
roam the world
like a man.
1110
01:44:25,480 --> 01:44:29,750
Well I decided I didn't like battles
and killing as much as I thought I would.
1111
01:44:30,090 --> 01:44:33,650
SHALMANESER: That every man
may know right from wrong.
1112
01:44:33,730 --> 01:44:35,130
Do you?
1113
01:44:37,500 --> 01:44:38,860
ARI: But the truthof the matter was
1114
01:44:38,930 --> 01:44:42,460
Mathayus did have a fondnessfor battles and killing.
1115
01:44:42,540 --> 01:44:45,200
And though he loved Laylathe blood of a warrior
1116
01:44:45,270 --> 01:44:49,210
and the scorpion's dark venom
still coursed through his veins.
1117
01:44:50,550 --> 01:44:53,310
It would drive him out into the
wide world for further adventures
1118
01:44:53,380 --> 01:44:57,440
and further battlesuntil one day perhaps
1119
01:44:58,120 --> 01:45:01,720
he would returnto become the Scorpion King.
1120
01:45:03,430 --> 01:45:07,450
That is the subjectfor another tale.77275
