-[Ares] Hello? -[Jeff] Hello?

Is that Mr. Ares speaking?

-Who is this? -[Jeff] Good day, sir.

My name is Jeff and I'm calling from Atlantic Trust.

I wanted to get the chance to make you

the financial offer of a lifetime.

How did you get this number?

-[Jeff] I'm sorry? -This number is not for you.

I just wanted to offer you this unique opportunity.

What did you say your name was?

Jeff, sir.

Do you think it makes you unique to have your own name?

[Jeff] Um, I'm not sure I understand the question.

You're not unique, Jeff.

There are nearly seven billion exactly like you.

You're part of an overpopulated plague.

[Ares speaking Greek]

Jeff, I want you to take into serious consideration

-of killing yourself. -[Jeff] Why?

Maybe you have someone close to you,

but in the grand scheme of things,

nobody would miss you if you were gone.

Don't call this number again. It's not meant for you.

[Greek music playing]

I hate guys who look like that. It's so superficial.

You don't need to worry about that, though.

You look like a man in good shape.

Don't call me that.

[woman] Never mind.

-You all right? -What do you want?

What do you mean, what do I want?

I just bailed you out of jail again.

So? Do you expect a thank you or something?

That might be nice for once.

Say what you want to say so I can get out of here.

Fine. Look.

This is the third time now.

You made it really difficult for me to do anything for you.

That said, we can't allow you any more financial aid

unless you fulfill some requests.

What request exactly?

To start off, I need to put you on the support groups.

All of you.

You will be given counseling for an hour

twice a week with one of the therapists.

-You can't be serious. -You brought this on yourself.

I can't help you unless you take part in the outreach program.

Well, it's better than not getting money, isn't it?

Probably not.

Obviously, I can't force you.

Those of you who come will continue receiving welfare.

-So, that's how it is? -Yes. That's how it is.

What bet?

On the guy. The swimmer.

You never told me to place any bets.

Are you doing okay, Uncle?

Getting old. You'll know when it happens to you.

I'm over 3200 years old, you know.

Eloise.

[Eloise] Hey.

Did you sleep all right?

There's a bad brace in the bed, I think.

[Eloise] Oh, I didn't know.

But I think I can get a hold of a thicker mattress

-by the end of next week. -Oh, that's fine.

I don't think I'll be around by then.

Where are you going?

Well, I just figure I'll get my own place as soon as possible.

[Eloise] I told you, you don't need to rush.

It's nice having you around again.

Don't you think so?

No, that's fine. I understand.

-[door clicks] -Okay.

Bye.

[footsteps]

-Hey. -[Kara] Hi.

So, how's the job hunting going?

Still working on it.

You know, we collaborate with

the outreach programs on Wednesdays.

Actually, just after you left this morning,

I heard that they're starting new groups.

Maybe there's some counseling work there.

No, I don't think that's for me.

Since last year, I switched to strictly freelancing

as an in-house performance coach.

What does that mean?

That means they can't afford me.

[crunching]

[machine whirring]

[door clicking]

Hermes. Got a minute? I'd like a word.

-I-- -Don't worry, it's good news.

You've been here quite some time now.

And you've proved yourself to be a very diligent worker.

You have a perfect delivery percentage,

and the amount of overtime you do

is impressive, even though no one asks you to.

So, anyway, none of this has gone unnoticed.

Thank you.

The point of the matter is

that, as you know, Vivica is leaving in a couple of weeks

and I'd like to offer you her position.

It's a promotion.

Can I still deliver the mail?

No, this is a supervising job.

You get your own office with a desk.

And a chair.

No, but thank you.

[Getty sighs]

Very well.

That'll be all then.

Well, um,

actually, I wanted to mention something.

[Getty] Yes?

I think that the organization of letters

has been too sloppy of recent.

I mean, I just found a letter going out to box 15282

instead of 15283.

And a similar thing happened, like, two weeks ago.

-[Getty] Hermes. -Yeah?

No one asked you to double check the sorting, okay?

And two misdelivered letters in two weeks is no big deal.

It's lucky I double check. It is.

I mean, there's too much unprofessionalism around here.

I mean, the mail is vital.

It just can't-- it can't be ignored in this manner.

Hermes...

I think you and I need to have a little chat.

[knocking on door]

[knocking on door]

[footsteps]

-[Ares] Who is it? -[Aphrodite] Aphrodite.

[whispers] Fuck.

[door creaking]

You were in jail yesterday?

I got this from Dennis. What the fuck are you doing?

You're fucking with our income.

You don't always have to be the loudest about everything.

This affects you the least.

You can always make back the difference.

Raise your prices or give your customers

access to that third hole of yours.

[Hermes] Support group?

-They're cutting our welfare? -Unless we attend.

Oh, okay. Uh.

-Does it apply to all of us? -Didn't you get the same letter?

Uh...

[footsteps]

[indistinct]

[paper rustling]

-[Ares] Seriously? -Yeah.

Uh, I must have put it somewhere.

Um, somewhere.

[Ares] Why do you keep all of this shit?

You don't need any of it.

We must support the mail service, all right?

Here. I found it.

[paper rustling]

[sighs] Look, we have to talk to Dennis.

This is ridiculous.

Maybe we should just give them a swift kick in the teeth instead

to send a message about messing with our lives.

Anyway, I'm not going.

I'm not sure how much of a choice you have.

Still have my integrity.

Actually, I--

I was wondering maybe you could just lend me some money,

just for this rough period.

Uh, I just got fired.

-Fired? How? -Yeah.

-Uh, politics. -People.

Look, Ares. I know it's beneath us, but...

[Hermes sighs]

I can't see how we--

I just can't afford to lose more money.

[door shuts]

[footsteps]

[Kara] Kara Miller. Kara with K.

Okay.

It's always interesting that companies who claim

to have nothing to do with each other

always seem to have time to gossip about employees.

Nothing. Never mind. Thank you for your time.

[guitar strumming in the background]

Eloise!

[Eloise] Kara?

Did you say something?

What was the name of those outreach programs you mentioned?

[gulping]

So.

I'm not going.

It's not that I want to.

Anyone of us who has a drop of self-respect left

would tell them to shove this letter in deep places.

Hermes seemed like he's going.

You spoke to Hermes before me?

Well, like I said, those of us with self-respect.

Oh, you are so damn worried about everything.

[Ares] That's easy to say, but look where we are.

I know you don't worry.

You didn't worry when [indistinct].

You were busy partying during the Battle of Thermopylae.

Look at how you're living.

Maybe it's time to worry a little bit.

Think about it like this.

If something similar happened back then, what would you do?

That doesn't even make sense.

Obviously, I'd do whatever I want.

And now you don't because of the consequences, right?

So, why don't you outsource the problem?

Outsource, to contract out jobs, services, et cetera.

Get someone else to do the dirty work.

I'm going to take a nap.

Maybe the great Hermes can help you.

[Dennis] What can I say? This is the most impressive CV

that's arrived on this desk.

I hope you understand

that we have a very pressed salary budget.

Honestly, I'd be surprised if you could earn

a tenth of what you've been declaring the last year.

That's fine.

Giving psyche evaluations to executives

can be more boring than it sounds.

So is that the only reason why you're sitting here?

Honestly, I made a bad decision.

I trusted a colleague with an under-the-table investment

and I ended up losing a lot of money for myself

as well as embarrassing the company quite a bit.

Did you ever make bad decisions with your patients?

No, definitely not.

I was often referred to as the best motivated they met.

Look, you are clearly highly qualified,

but there's more to this job than that.

Such as being open minded.

Kara, do you believe in the occult?

The supernatural, the unknown?

I'm not sure, uh.

The spirit world to some extent. Why?

Kara, I'm looking for therapists

for a very special support group.

-A project near my heart. -[Kara] Okay.

You see, the members of this group all know each other.

They suffer from anger outbursts, alcoholism,

poor self-esteem, among other things.

Diverse group.

Yes, but there's another catch.

They're all fallen Greek gods.

What do you mean they're gods?

I didn't say that. I said they're fallen gods.

There's a vast difference.

That sounds odd.

It is odd, I know.

But the important thing for me is to find a therapist

that can let go of the odd nature of the situation

and solemnly focus on the work at hand.

Because despite a lot of early efforts

and all their time around other people,

they still desperately need help adjusting to society.

Kara, do you understand the situation?

I think so.

The jobs yours if you want it.

Okay. Thank you.

[Dennis] I want you to understand that they don't have

any personal wish being here.

I've starved their welfare situation.

And if they want to continue to see money,

they have to come to meetings.

They don't see themselves as us.

We're the enemy.

[birds chirping]

[knocking on door]

-[Atlas] Who is it? -Ares.

I come in peace. I just want to talk.

-Are you armed? -No.

It's about something that concerns both of us.

[Atlas] It's open.

[door clicks]

[door shuts]

[footsteps]

Sit.

[footsteps]

You wanna do the support groups.

Yes. I've been summoned,

but you and me are not going to be in the same group.

That's what I mean.

You've been summoned by people.

Doesn't that bother you?

You know they're gonna try to take your globe away from you.

Try to heal you.

Say you don't need it anymore.

No, they can't take my globe.

I need it.

It's the only comfortable position

after holding up the heavens for all those centuries.

Also, this is a reminder.

I didn't come here to fight.

[Atlas] I'm not angry anymore.

I was looking for Zeus for a long time.

To get my revenge.

But, I didn't find him.

I've come to realize

that being forced to hold up the heavens,

that was just my task.

No matter if the Titans had won the Great War or not,

it was always my task.

This globe is a reminder

of my importance and my power.

And no man will take it from me.

You and me, we've always been treated

like the ignorant ones of our kind.

Ares, the god who can only use force and no smarts.

And Atlas, who got fooled into slavery once again.

By Heracles after being freed.

Well, today...

you and me, we're going to show

that we are capable of great things.

We're going to make them regret

that they ever angered us.

-Come. -Yeah.

No.

[chair creaks]

No?

I've been speaking to my fellow gods

and since we did what we did to you in the past

and the fact that we need you now.

We want to give you the honor of doing it yourself.

Huh?

Hm?

It should be no problem for you.

And it will be remembered

that on the day the humans tried to rise

more powerful than Titans and gods,

only the Titan Atlas could stop them.

Huh?

Yes.

Atlas did it.

[Ares] Yes, yes.

Yes.

[birds chirping]

[bike chains clicking]

[tense music playing]

[door creaking]

[door shuts]

[Aphrodite] It's 200 more than last time.

I told you that on the phone.

What more do I get for that?

This isn't a buy one, get one free deal.

It's a bit much.

It's as much as Angelica takes.

Angelica?

Yeah. She's nice. She's younger.

I like you, you know that.

It's just 200 more is too much.

Look.

It's your choice.

Well, I've been reading up on

Well, it's a strange situation.

Usually is.

I've been trying to find out what links them in common.

Apart from the obvious.

Anyway,

I think most of the personal addictions

are related to them not being able to move on in their lives.

For the sake of both Titans and gods.

Never mind. I don't need to hear from you.

I want you to go home

Wha-- why? Because I believe in treating them

It comes back around, you know.

It's actually quite fascinating how

you could have been around for so long,

but not learned the absolute most obvious thing about them.

They have no morals.

They're never grateful of anything.

Yeah.

Look at them.

Shouldn't be all that surprise though.

You didn't have to deal with them the way we did.

Flying around from God to God.

Not the same job as having to interact with people.

Oh, right.

So you interacted a lot with them, did you?

-Yeah. -You know, leading them

into battle against each other, sometimes joining in.

And cutting off their head for good sport.

Nevertheless, interacting with them.

Right. Yeah. Okay.

I'm sure that you're an expert in-- in, what, human psychology?

Okay.

By the way, if you were,

you will know the classic term that you catch more flies

to that nurse, there's more chance

she'll go an extra mile to help Poseidon if necessary.

Okay? It's all about attitude.

I just told you,

they're never grateful, so why bother?

And you don't catch flies with fire, you idiot.

It's vinegar.

-Whatever. It used to be fire. -How can it be fire?

How the fuck do you get flies with fire?

Well, first, you light a fire, right?

They fly into it and they burn.

-That doesn't make any sense. -[sighs] Yes, it does.

Fire works.

Well, not as good as honey though,

because honey, it's more of a stick--

-sticky thing. -They're not--

they're not even comparable.

Honey and fire.

What if you, you know,

make one of those big forest fires?

Don't you think that kills hell of a lot of flies?

Yeah, but only because of its size,

but if you spread honey across the whole of the Earth,

that would catch even more.

-Catch. Okay. -Spread honey across the field.

Yeah.

-Yes, that's us. -What's the problem with him?

Yeah, but, do you have some sort of payment plan

or we can make ourselves responsible for any costs?

We can arrange something.

Though, without any form of insurance,

this can get quite expensive quite quickly.

Okay. Do you have some idea of how much it will cost?

There's a per day price for the room,

as well as costs for different tests and procedures,

But I want you to know that I am here to help you.

What makes you possibly think that you could help us

with anything?

Have you ever seen this world from the outside?

You say big things, but...

your frame of reference is so far off from us

Not during your lifetime, at least.

He has become habituated to our situation.

Habituated, become accustomed to.

Maybe sometimes I-- I also get the feeling of that.

But he's still there when you need him.

He doesn't understand.

I don't mean he's all bad,

It's his weakness.

-How? -I've still got

a couple of wine bottles.

Turn of the century stuff

that I can offload for a decent amount.

I would like each of you to explain to me

the importance of what your divine tasks were.

Do you want to add to that, Ares?

Do you really think you can outsmart us

with earthly games?

You don't care at all of what or who we were.

Ares. You're right.

In truth, your past doesn't interest me much.

I'm interested in your future.

I still think that you can live a better life

than you are doing right now.

And I think that you can still accomplish things.

Perhaps other things than in the past,

but still important.

And I believe that you will feel the better for it.

Your past is however,

clearly important to each of you.

So try to make me understand it.

Aphrodite.

Almost everyone on Earth finds love

an important attribute to life.

Why is that?

Because it's personal.

It's the emotion that connects your consciousness to your soul.

Love is the only thing that can make the world survive.

Very good.

Anyone else?

[Athena] Athena thinks.

Athena knows.

The more important than any emotion is knowledge.

Wisdom.

The ability to learn

is the ability to harness any emotion into an action.

Without it, there is no progress.

Emotions felt or ideas thought are worthless.

All right.

Now, we're talking.

Hermes, did you want to add to that?

Yeah. Gift of messages.

Communication.

It's the most important thing people have ever received.

Without it, what's the point of wisdom?

Communication is the physical action of sharing anything.

Whether it is knowledge, hate...

love.

They are useless without communication.

Thank you.

Thank you all.

That was very interesting to hear.

What about me?

I'm sorry, I was under the impression

you were not interested.

Well, I fear that yet another person might fall

into the ignorance of believing what these have said is true.

-And it isn't? -[Ares] No.

War.

That's the most important gift humans have ever received.

Okay. Please enlighten me.

Love.

Communication. Wisdom.

They're all instincts that are shared with the animals.

Not war.

Their will and ability to divide up

and wipe each other out in huge numbers

over politics, religion, greed.

It's what differs you from the animals.

It's what truly makes you human.

Okay.

Thank you, Ares.

Next time, I would like you to bring an item here.

What kind of an item?

Something that's important to you.

The one thing that you would grab

from your apartment if it were burning down.

Are we five year olds now?

You want to conduct show and tell?

I'm trying to get to know you, Ares.

I want to understand your values.

Show me what's important to you.

Please.

[footsteps]

-You still haven't found them. -[Eloise] Not the red ones? No.

Can I borrow a pair from you?

You have a pair of black ones for work.

I haven't had a date in 11 months.

Thank you. I really appreciate it.

[Kara] That's fine.

Is that for work?

No, I'm looking for flats.

I see.

Any good ones?

Guess that depends on one's definition of good.

So, Athena, why a stick?

A branch.

Sorry, a branch.

It's not just any branch.

It's from the olive tree I placed in Athens.

The gift of the olive was the reason

they named that great city after me.

Wow. Thank you for bringing it.

So, we have this.

We have Aphrodite's collection of wedding invitations.

Hermes has some letters that mean a lot to him.

I guess there's only one item left.

Ares, what's in the box?

[thud]

This...

is my trusty avenger.

Is that dried blood on it?

Not just any blood.

This is the blood of Halirrhothius.

Divine blood.

All it took was one swift stab

right here.

Do you consider yourself victorious?

Look around this room.

We suffered a heavy defeat.

But we're not done for.

Not yet.

This war isn't over.

Ares, why do you hate us so?

Your kind stopped believing in us.

A god can't be a god without belief.

You robbed us of our purpose.

So if people took your divinity by losing faith in you,

then their faith must have

given it to you in the first place.

Isn't it only fair?

Fair?

Kara, the word you're looking for is betrayal.

What you experienced happened a long time ago.

People change.

People do change.

But not for the better.

Look at what you've done to this place.

You're too much for one god to handle.

This was honorable.

A way of settling who deserved to live.

Now, your so called warriors sit in a box and press a button

and watch their enemies burn.

They're so comfortable with it

that one day they'll press all the buttons

and the entire world would burn.

You're nothing more than savages.

And you desperately need to be governed.

So you think you'll be divine again?

I figure that's the reason we're still around.

Is that how you all feel?

[Aphrodite] Kara?

-Yeah? -Times up.

Yes, it is.

Hey.

This thing looks different every time I see it.

[Ares] Sometimes I remember things differently,

so I see them that way.

You think this line is correct?

I think they might have been standing differently.

[Ares] You remember it that well, do you?

Well, we were on different sides then.

And our memories are not the same.

I remember the blood.

[Ares] Me too.

I'm only focusing on the first day.

It's easier that way.

[Ares] Don't know.

I might make another one.

Maybe Marathon. Do you remember that one?

-I remember the blood. -[Ares] Me too.

If they only knew how dispensable they all are.

I'm going out with one.

[Ares] You're going out with what?

I'm meeting one for dinner.

It's like a date. With a person.

I want something more, Ari.

I don't usually make house visits

How did you know it was me?

Matter of deduction. There aren't that many of you.

No, there aren't.

So, Athena, what's on your mind?

We need help.

Yeah, I know that part.

Why?

I've been trying to keep together

all the information, but it's a lot.

A lot happens in a few thousand years.

Everything we've done,

everything we've seen.

Don't you think it's important?

What happened to us after we fell from divinity?

[Kara] What happened?

We kept falling.

[distorted music playing]

I seldom at the sun in.

[Kara] What?

I guess it reminds me of Apollo.

Ares was there.

When he did it.

He tried grabbing him,

but wasn't strong enough to hold on.

[music continues]

There are a lot of suicides on here.

It's difficult for most of us.

Kara, you must understand.

We were gods.

And like I said...

[sighs]

we need help.

Looks good to me. I'll have that too. [chuckles]

I-- I don't eat Greek food so often,

so I'll trust you.

Oh, really?

Well, you'll-- you'll develop an appetite for it then.

Yeah. Sounds like you're a fan.

Uh, well, generally I'm a fan of Greek culture.

Oh, why is that?

I-- I think they've had good ideas, you know?

-Yeah? -H-- have you been there?

Oh, yeah.

Mainly when I was younger.

And since then, I lived in a lot of different places

and um...

it's-- it's been a bit complicated.

There...

are a lot of complicated things about you, aren't there?

Um, like what?

[Rachel chuckles]

Like how you don't have an email address,

although you're on an online dating service.

Um, yeah, right.

I-- I try to avoid email services.

Why-- why is that?

Well, I think it's killing the traditional mailing system.

Is that important to you?

Yeah, very.

Yeah, uh...

All right, so one iced tea for the lady.

Thanks.

By the way.

[Rachel laughs]

That's...

Yeah, I thought of it since you mentioned

on your profile that you were looking for,

you know, more magic in your life

and that was sort of magic.

Yeah. [chuckles]

I'm a little bit different.

That's okay.

You know, I like it when--

I like the honesty of people

showing who they really are from the beginning.

Uh, well...

there's more about me than what I've said.

I'm Hermes.

I know.

No.

Hermes, the Greek messenger God.

I was divine.

I could even fly.

Though I should admit

that my wing boots and hat probably helped.

And those were some great boots.

A-- anyway, um...

I-- I didn't only deliver messages,

but also human souls down to Hades.

That's the truth about me.

That's-- that's who I am.

How about you?

So, you think you're a god.

From Greek mythology?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, well-- well, a fallen god.

-Yeah. -Yeah, look, I know I am.

Besides, mythology is only a religion

that's on a bit of ice at the moment.

So, Ares.

How's your week been?

Okay.

Athena,

did anything unique happen to you this week?

No, nothing at all.

Hermes, anything happen this week?

[Hermes] Well, actually, um...

I was on a date.

With a woman.

Really? That's great.

How did it go?

[sighs] Well, not so well, actually, um.

Are you fucking kidding me?

First you embarrass yourself by trying to date one of them,

then you explain your failure in it to another one.

Have some fucking self-respect.

[Aphrodite] Shut up, Ares.

If he's trying to find love, just let him.

This isn't about you and your matchmaking ideology.

This is about respect for us and our kind.

What do you know about my ideologies?

Aph, don't make this about us.

[Kara] What happened?

I was married.

Against my will, to Hephaestus.

My affair with Ares was just an act of rebellion.

My husband found out.

So once when me and Ares were getting it on, he...

trapped us

and showed us off to the rest of the gods.

Naked.

Embarrassed.

Ares basically got known

as the stud that banged the prom queen.

I was known as...

[speaking other language]

There's more than one downside to mortality.

You know, this is all right.

Ares.

Fuck all of you.

[door bangs closed]

I told you.

That's okay.

You made a mistake.

But now you know.

As you may recall,

there was a reason we needed to go.

There still is.

[Greek music playing]

[music stops]

[Kara] I'm really sorry I'm late.

[books thumping]

[Athena] Um, Kara.

Though we could appreciate the effort,

this isn't the most factual book.

Well, let's discuss it.

Uh, in general, how...

do you feel that your personal history

has been recorded?

Do you mean authentically or promotionally?

Which do you prefer?

Look, those books

aren't exactly well written biographies of us.

They're more comparable to tabloids.

[Athena] She's right.

People are very lazy when it comes to fact.

They rather make a piece of art because they find it more fun.

Exactly.

And also you can't trust

all of those portraits and statues either.

I mean, they don't have correct proportions.

[laughs]

[sighs] They don't.

[Ares] Why are these dates here then?

That states how long a period the bill covers.

And that fee?

That looks like a late penalty fee.

-It's 7%. -Well, I'm sorry, sir.

I can't help you with this.

You'll have to speak with reception in the morning.

I have to continue my rounds now.

Sorry.

[paper rustling]

[knocking on door]

-Listen, Ari. I just wanna-- -Look, look.

Just here to collect the money for the medical bills.

Got it?

Yeah.

[Hermes sighs]

[money rustling]

[exhales]

-[Ares] So? -Hm?

The hospital bills.

I need a few more days to get you my share.

Things are a little tight right now.

Di, I haven't seen anything from you.

What about these wine bottles you were speaking of?

Di.

You know, it was a long time ago

and I might have drank one or two.

[exhales] It's your move.

Look at me.

[speaking other language]

I saw him.

They got tubes going into his arms

and all sorts of things.

-Di, we need money. -So what?

You're asking me to go to the meetings?

Look, I'm not saying you should take in anything she says.

We just need to swallow some of your pride

like I already have

for our fellow god.

He would do more than so for you.

[bells dinging in distance]

So, how're they doing?

I don't want to say too much,

but I think they're warming up a bit.

That's good.

Good to hear.

Dennis, what's up?

Kara, we're having a few setbacks with the financing.

Keeping certain groups up and running.

My group?

I don't understand. We just started this.

Trust me, I know.

But there's a certain budget in the outreach program

that has to be met,

and we've got to spend it responsibly.

Look, there's a lot of people out there that need help

and [indistinct] that won't help.

Does this mean you're cutting their welfare as well?

No. They won't be touched. I'll make sure they're covered.

As I was.

Then, it's me.

Kara, it's hard...

motivating spending money on group sessions

for ancient gods who don't want anything to do with us.

Especially someone [indistinct]

who just walked out the front door.

What? There's more to this group than just Ares, you know?

Did you know that Dionysus is coming in today?

That's very impressive. It is.

You seem to doing a great job.

You are.

And I'll be more than happy to accept your job application

for some other group in the nearby future.

-Hopefully by next year. -I'll do it for free.

I'll do it for free.

They're accepting my help, and I want to give it to them.

Just provide us with a room, okay?

Deal?

Hi.

Hi. I'm Kara.

I'm glad you came.

Unfortunately, we don't allow alcohol in this room.

In the building, actually.

It's nothing to worry about.

It goes where I go.

But I guess I could leave.

My sense tells me

I should make an exception this time.

[Aphrodite] Kara, I've been thinking.

This room could use some warmth.

It's so bland. It doesn't represent us.

Actually, not to jump the gun,

that's exactly what I want to speak about today.

You want to talk about decoration choices?

I want to talk about renewal.

Evolution.

[Dionysus snorts]

She's a Darwinist.

You've been taking advice from a Darwinist.

I'm talking about the future.

Your future.

And I don't want to talk about

becoming what you once were.

I'm speaking of the state you're in now.

What do you want out of your life?

We all know what Hermes wants, don't we?

And that's exactly what I'm talking about.

Pursuing a relationship is an amazing achievement.

It's-- it's not that simple.

Being who I am.

I just can't find someone on the same page as me.

Well, it's never simple. I'm talking about your choice.

Whether you see it now or not, it is progress.

And Hermes, trust me.

If there's anything I can do to help, you just let me know.

Is there anything you have thought about doing?

No matter how small.

A project?

A job?

Anything?

The most important question you can ask yourself

is, "What do I want?"

Athena, what do you want

for yourself?

Kara, it's not that simple.

We were gods.

We need to make sure

our legacy is protected before anything else.

Come on. You're a thinker.

I know you've thought about this.

All that knowledge.

What do you want to do with it?

Maybe one day, I could think of passing it on.

Teaching it?

Perhaps.

[Aphrodite] Kara.

You have to understand something.

When we fell,

we really fell.

You know, it's a scary thing knowing how fast one can fall.

But it's not as near as terrifying

as not knowing how to get back up.

Because when you've been down long enough,

things around you start to change.

And you start to change.

Life has a funny way of engulfing ideology.

I would like to not get paid

for sex.

But sometimes my need for desire takes me to bad places.

Damn, you got some issues.

Dionysus, I want you here,

but if you're going to make a mockery out of this,

you can leave.

Relax, young lady.

I respect my fellow gods.

In fact, I'm hit by inspiration.

I, too, have a dream.

[Dionysus gulps]

Is that so?

It's been far too long since I practiced my histrionics.

Hm. Histrionics.

Dramatization, performance.

I would like to set up a play.

Are you being serious?

As serious as when I gave Midas his choice of power.

All right.

Well, you're in luck.

My sister works at a local theater

that has a previous relationship with this institute.

See?

Belonging to this group has some advantages, doesn't it?

I've been avoiding coming here, Kara.

But now that I have, I'm thinking that Midas,

[indistinct],

still have a trick or two up their sleeves.

We were meant to meet, Miss Miller.

[Greek music playing]

[chair creaks]

[knocking on door]

That was quick.

[Dionysus] I managed to get a little bit of it up front.

I see.

-What's going on. -[Dionysus] With what?

What are you doing?

Preparing.

Prepare, assemble, make ready.

I know what the fuck preparing means, Di.

What are you preparing?

A little project of mine.

Kara's helping me.

You're messing with me, right?

I think you missed

some of the potential of your group meetings.

But it's not too late for you.

I'll show you. It's a play.

My play. And it's going to be epic.

[door creaks open]

-[Kara] Hi. -Hi.

Hi, Ares.

What?

So, this is what you meant when you kept telling me

to trust my instincts and to do what I've always done?

Because this seems very different.

Ari.

Have faith.

-He hates me, doesn't he? -Yeah, probably so.

But don't take it personally.

He's Ares. Hate is in his nature.

Come in. Have a seat.

[door clicks closed]

[Kara sighs]

Is it really that simple?

Well, you're the therapist.

You tell me.

No, thank you.

I'll just keep it here in case you change your mind.

[sighs] I don't know, this group, it's...

interesting, but it's difficult.

Interesting, but difficult.

And what about you?

Are you interesting?

I guess that depends on one's definition of interesting.

She's interesting.

I don't think you'd find me interesting.

Hm.

Too bad.

Let's get back on track, hm.

Well, I've started brushing up something from myself.

I've spoken to the theater. They're on board.

Excellent. Now, it's the people we need.

That's what really matters. The audience.

The theater actually offers free shows some days.

Usually, some people come in during those nights.

Perfect.

So, when do you want to start?

As soon as possible.

Don't you need time to practice?

Kara.

Therapist.

Former god of wine and...

theater.

Right. My apologies.

Okay.

Showtime, as they say.

Sure you're not coming?

[clears throat]

I would have really like to, but, um...

I made other plans.

Okay.

Break a leg.

I know you always do.

What is that?

I never say thank you to you.

I don't know why.

Uh, maybe it's 'cause you're my baby sister

and yet, you're the one always looking out for me

and everyone else and...

Honestly, I'm a little ashamed of that.

Uh, that's no excuse.

You do so much for me, and yet I never say it.

Um, I'm sorry.

That's okay.

I know you mean it.

Something's come up financially.

I thought I'd wait a little with the apartment.

And I was hoping I could hang out here

for a little bit longer.

Of course.

Thank you.

I mean, if you want,

I can pull up the curtains for you.

There's an automatic timer for that.

Oh, technology sure moved fast this last century.

I gotta say.

-Hermes? -Yeah.

What do you want?

Look, I know we had our differences, okay?

But, I just want to say

that I'm proud of you, doing this.

And I'm glad that you found some peace with our situation.

Peace?

Yeah, acceptance, or whatever you want to call it.

That's the difference between you and me.

You've grown weak and tired,

and you've forgotten your roots.

I will never accept the situation.

Ever.

Once I am divine again,

I will show people how their meaningless lives

are meant to be lived.

[Hermes] What are you talking about?

What about renewal?

-[Hermes] Evolution? -Evolution?

Yeah.

I'm a god.

I've always done what I'm meant to do.

Nature has accepted it as its natural course.

Those creatures out there failed us.

They were weak of heart,

and they stopped believing in us.

Dionysus...

it's in the past.

-Okay? -[Dionysus] Look out there.

I have a crowd now,

listeners, here for me and my wards.

I created theater.

Once they see the creation god performing his creation,

oh, they will believe.

And that's how it starts.

I will rise again.

I can feel it already.

So, what is all this, huh?

What? A charade?

Means to an end.

Something you, [indistinct],

never understood.

I fear it is too late for you to understand.

But I will.

I just have to show him the way first.

He will adhere.

Adhere, to join, unite, remain devoted.

It doesn't lead anywhere good.

And if Dionysus was here,

he would tell you himself.

Listen to him.

♪

Ares, you're in need of freeing your mind.

It's out of your hands.

We've had our chance.

Yes, we were once blessed with divinity,

but now, you've been given a much more precious gift.

You've been given life.

So, that is it.

Ares...

You are right, you know.

Life is a battle.

[smooth jazz music playing]

The struggle to achieve our goals

before our time has come.

To find our place in this world.

And as in any battle,

there are crushing defeats along the way.

It isn't filled with quick fixes and fairytale endings.

And it isn't a fight against some physical enemy.

You can slay anyone to become victorious.

But the only way to lose it...

is through surrender.

And as for allies go...

they're all around us.

If one chooses to accept.

[door clicks open]

I didn't expect them to show up.

I just wanted to be here. Just in case, you know.

I know.

I want you to understand that I don't blame you

for what happened.

What are you going to be using this room for?

A Tourette Syndrome group.

As I mentioned before,

I do think you have done a tremendous job here.

I wouldn't mind having you on staff full time.

But I do however think that you should definitely

take some time to collect yourself.

[footsteps approaching]

[Aphrodite] Are you joining us?

Uh, no.

I was just leaving.

Have a good session, all of you.

[Hermes] Thanks.

[sighs]

-[Aphrodite] How are you? -Sorry.

[sobbing]

[sniffles] God.

[indistinct]

Welcome.

We didn't drink. He didn't drink.

But, um, then he introduced-- introduced--

Wine? So, where did he find it?

He made it. [mumbles]

-Yes, I-- -[door clicks open]

[steps thumping]

[door clicks closed]

I expect you to mark me present.

Of course.

So...

I was just looking at this building.

I do that sometimes, I-- I watch them.

This is a good one.

Well structured.

And...

I think to myself that I could...

probably design something like this.

Help bring it to life.

I think I would like to study architecture.
