All language subtitles for Olympus s01e06 Lexicon.eng

You'd better have a good story,
or I'll start screaming.

Just let me
borrow the tunic,

and I promise to come back
and tell you everything.

[Aegeus]: I'm a better king
than I am a father.

[Medea]: If you want

to open the door to Olympus
and become an immortal,

you must learn to be both.

Tell us where
you've hidden our ring,

or we will kill him.

[Daedalus]: They are the Magi.

Go on... cut me.

Timing is critical
for you, Lord Pallas,

to snatch the throne.

Why would Lykos want
to meet with me in person?

Son.

[moaning and gasping]

What's wrong?

I've not been
completely honest with you.

I'm no ordinary man.

I carry
a demon's curse,

a curse I've passed
on to my son.

What sort of curse?

A prize of the gods.

He will feel it

when he comes
of age,

as I did.

Where is this son?

Inside you.

How could you
possibly know?

I no longer feel

the beast
gnawing at my soul.

"Beast"?

Listen carefully.

You're not to speak
of this to anyone.

Run.

Hide in the forests
of Troezen

or the sacred mountains
to the north.

Do not hurt the boy,

or you will be punished
by the gods of the ancients.

Raise him in secret
until I find you.

How will you find us?

This will lead me to you.

Keep it hidden
from the boy

until he comes of age
and wants to leave you.

I can't do this
on my own.

If you don't do as I say,

you will be hunted down
by my enemies

and killed.

Who are you?

Aegeus...
King of Athens.

Return the ring

and our quarrel is ended.

The ring is mine now.

[Aegeus roars]

[cries out]

The Lexicon is a curse, Aegeus!

A cruel trick of your gods.

Ahh!

A curse to your kind...

a miracle to mine.

[cries out in pain]

[Aegeus]: I protected you
and your mother,

let the Magi witch live

so that she could

tell her kind
that I still had their ring.

That's why she didn't
go looking for you.

She did...

and when
she found us,

she killed my mother.

But she didn't
find the ring.

Why did you abandon us?

I looked for you...

for several years,

but your mother
hid you too well.

If that was true,
then why did you tell

your younger son
and the world

that he carried the Lexicon?

A king...

must rule the hearts
and hopes of his people.

If anyone knew
the Lexicon

was no longer in my control,

I would lose my authority.

Then why did you give it up?

I couldn't govern

with that beast
at my back.

You've faced him.

You know
what he's like.

Believe me, the affairs of state
are burden enough without...

[sighs] ...that
terrifying creature

clawing at my soul.

So, like the Magi witch,

you started to believe
the Lexicon was a curse,

a cruel trick
of the gods,

and wanted to get
as far away from it

as possible.

The Lexicon
is a miracle of the gods,

not a curse.

Then why didn't you
rear me as your own,

help me unlock its secrets,

so that we both could benefit?

I tried.

Believe me.

I searched for you for years,
everywhere.

No.

You lost your nerve,

convinced
it was a demon's curse,

left it
in the belly of a stranger,

then lied to your family
and the world.

I did what I thought
was right for Athens.

I put my people before me.

And me.

Don't you dare
turn your back on your king.

You're my guest...

but you must live by my rules.

You're not to leave the palace.

A guard will accompany you
everywhere you go.

Is that understood?

Perfectly.

That went well.

He's a rude...

arrogant...

animal...

With no respect.

And smarter
than I'd imagined.

What?

He is your son,
after all.

The ring.

After spending
most of the morning

prizing this
from our son,

I'm not letting it
out of my sight.

What are we going to do?

To start with,

I was hoping
you'd do a better job

of convincing your new son

to work with me
to solve the Lexicon.

He's a savage!

A creature of the woods!

Remember...

we can't force him.

He has to give
himself willingly.

I shall have to try
a different tack.

You're not at all
what I expected.

Queen Medea.

So you know
who I am.

I should thank you.

Your son told me
it was you

who asked him to rescue
me from King Minos.

Rescue you?

He abducted you.

His Dorian
dragged you here

against your will.

No, I escaped from
King Minos's camp myself

and scaled
these walls alone.

How was your time
with our enemy?

Mercifully brief.

And Daedalus,
King Minos's architect?

What pact
did you seal with him?

Daedalus helped me
find the ring, that's all.

And how did you keep
the ring from King Minos?

I can see why
you're suspicious,

but whatever
the Priest of Gaia's told you,

Daedalus was not my ally.

So it was just
a chance encounter

in the woods, then?

Yes.

But you nevertheless
followed him

to King Minos's camp.

We were apprehended
by his men.

"We"?

Ah, yes.

You, Daedalus,

and the Oracle of Gaia,

who you'd recruited

to help solve
the riddle of the Lexicon.

I don't want to solve
the riddle of the Lexicon.

I want to get rid of it.

Then why did you
have this ring?

I wanted to return it
to my father.

What for?

To get his blessing?

To have him absolve you
of your responsibility?

I didn't ask
for this curse.

There must be
a part of you

that wants to do
the right thing,

or you wouldn't have hidden
the ring from King Minos.

The Lexicon is the only
thing keeping you alive,

son of Aethra.

You have a simple choice.

Work with me
to solve its riddle,

or face the wrath

of the desperate
people of Athens.

[

What does it say?

Perhaps we should
discuss this privately.

Should we discuss
this privately?

We are discussing it
privately.

So we are.

I mean
just the two of us.

[sighs impatiently]

"On the next full moon,

"when the sun sets,

and where the wings
meet the sky..."

Why is Lykos
writing in riddles?

In case the message
falls into the wrong hands.

But it's confusing.

What if we go
to the wrong place?

What do you
make of it?

It's the temple
on Mount Pelion.

Its wings are said
to touch the sky.

The next full moon
is in four days,

and he wants to meet at sunset.

Tell me she isn't useful.

How do we know
it's not a trap?

For heaven's sake,
of course it's a trap.

The question to ask

is whether we can
turn Lykos's trap

to our advantage.

How do we know the message
is even from Prince Lykos?

We don't.

It sounds
like another one

of King Aegeus's
ham-fisted schemes.

I wouldn't be surprised

if he were the sort

to hide men
in wooden horses.

So what do we do?

We play along.

For now.

[Medea]: His heart

undoubtedly belongs
to our enemy, King Minos.

My own son
a traitor? Why?

Let's see now.

You abandoned his mother
to a miserable life in hiding

and saddled him
with a demon's curse,

so he thinks,

which got his mother killed.

I gave him life.

Then walked away.

I'll have him executed
as a Minoan spy,

traitor and degenerate.

Or...

crowned as your new prince
and heir.

What?

Threats and extortion
will only get us so far.

If we're going to
solve the Lexicon,

we have to win
his heart.

But an heir?

He's your oldest
son, isn't he?

That makes him
heir to the throne.

He can't be trusted.

Who can?

Look...

if you embrace him,

genuinely behave like
the father he never knew,

give him all your love,

and win his trust,

perhaps then he'll
willingly work with me

to solve the riddle
of the Lexicon.

But first... we need
to win over your court,

your generals

and priests.

How?

By introducing him...

draping the royal robe
on his shoulders.

He doesn't even have a name.

Well, then you,
as his father and king,

will give him one...

in a naming ceremony.

What will I call him?

"Hero,"

sent by our mother,
the goddess Athena,

to deliver us from this siege,

a Hero to sweep
King Minos's armies

back to the sea,

a Hero to sit alongside me...

His king,
his father.

My true son,
my firstborn,

my champion...

"Hero!"

[

Let the firstborn child
of King Aegeus,

son of Pandion,

father of Athens...

blood of the golden halos
of the night,

be forever known...

As "Hero...

Prince of Athens."

[whispers darkly]:
"Prince of Athens"?

[

It's a disaster!

You don't
know that yet.

I know that the years
spent grooming Prince Lykos

so that one day

he'd take me through
the doors of Olympus

have come to nothing.

Perhaps this new son

will treat us
just as favourably.

Medea has him wrapped
around her little finger.

And once she has
the power of a god,

what do you think
she'll do to us?

What should we do?

When King Minos
responds to Lykos' message,

his scribe will bring it to me,

then we'll have
all the evidence we need.

How shall
we use this evidence?

To spark a military coup,

we'll need to
incite the generals

while they're in session
with the King.

To strike first.

Once you confirm
that Aegeus is dead,

I will step in

and reestablish order.

And once you've
assumed the throne...

you think this new prince
will empower you?

He won't have
any other choice.

Yes, a Dorian abducted
your new heir to the throne

- and brought him here.
- Are you sure?

Why do you treat me
like a fool?

I must be absolutely certain.

Hero said

he made his own way here,
scaled the walls alone.

So what?

You have him now,
don't you?

If you don't tell
me the truth,

I'll have you
buried alive.

Lykos, listen to me...

No, you listen to me!

I have loved you

more than any son
could love their mother.

I have sacrificed my blood,

my freedom and my life

for you,

and not because
I wanted the Lexicon

or the throne of Athens,

but because I wanted
your love in return.

And this
is how you repay me?

I've always loved you, Lykos.

After all,
I am your mother.

Then show it.

Reject this impostor
and give me back my life.

[

Each time
I took a step closer

to solving the riddle
of the Lexicon,

the beast took
a step closer to me.

My court became anxious,

worried they might
lose their king

rather than gain the mystery
of the gods.

Some started
to plot behind my back.

So you buried
the ring and my mother

in the forests
of Troezen.

Only until
I could reclaim it...

and her.

How did you
choose my mother?

I asked the Oracle of Gaia,

a blind old woman,

for a sign.

She told me to go
to the beach at Faliron,

pick a shell from the sea
at low tide.

The next woman I found
would be my bride.

My mother
lived in Faliron?

You didn't know?

No, I... I knew she was
brought up by the sea,

and that her father
was a fisherman,

but she kept names
and places to herself.

She was protecting you.

[

This is that shell.

I've kept it close
to my heart ever since,

wondered about her every day.

It's yours now.

[

It was mined
in Verno.

Your mason said

it's the biggest
he's ever seen.

It's perfect.

What's it for?

The bull's tongue
needs a sting.

How are you feeling?

Never better.

I can see as well,
or as badly as ever before.

I have all the dates
I can eat,

and mercifully,

I'm left alone to do my work
without interference.

Will you
make the deadline?

No, of course not.

Not enough time,
not enough bronze,

not enough men.

But you've turned most of
the army into blacksmiths.

Sadly, not all
are suited to the role.

Well, how can we
hurry it along?

- "We"?
- Please, Daedalus.

We are running out of time!

I'm sorry
to disappoint you,

but it might not
be ready for several weeks.

Tell Lykos

that if he delivers
himself to me,

alone,

ready to work with my priests

to solve the riddle
of the Lexicon

and open
the doors of Olympus to me,

I will spare Athens
and its people,

and deliver him intact
to serve as my...

regent.

Is he likely
to come alone?

Probably not.

I doubt he'll even
show up at all,

but you never know.

The promise of a quiet life
might give him pause.

His message said
in four days.

Ah, yes.
Well, in that case,

we'll hold off
on the bronze bull

and see if anything
comes of this.

Perhaps you'd like me
to bless the note

with Gaia's
sweet prayers?

I don't think
that will be necessary.

What have you got
to lose but your pride?

Heaven knows you've lost enough
of that over the years.

Sacred mother
of Earth and sea...

Carry this message
swiftly to Lykos...

Prince of Athens.

[

[Medea]: You gave
him the shell?

Yes.

He believed every word.

Good.

We need to paint a picture
of a father who cares,

who loved his mother,

and would have loved him
if he had found her.

Yes.

Now perhaps
I can move things along.

I asked your father
not to show you his scars,

but he felt you should
know what lies in store.

Can I come in?

What your father
should have told you

was that he didn't
know me then.

If he did,

he wouldn't have given up
the Lexicon so easily.

He was searching blind,

without the expert guidance
of a master sorceress.

I've heard about
your talents.

Really?
From who?

The Priests of Gaia.

I fear we may have
got off on the wrong foot.

I shouldn't have
doubted your integrity.

My son tells me

you did in fact find
your own way to our door.

So if you wanted to
get rid of the Lexicon,

why did you come?

I thought my father might be
a different sort of man.

A man with
all the answers?

Perhaps.

Or were you looking

for his permission
to rid yourself of it?

That too.

Trust in me, Hero.

Let me help you solve
the riddle of the Lexicon

and realize its glory.

How?

By bleeding me to death
as the priests of Gaia did?

It'll be easier
with the ring.

The ring carries
an even greater danger.

One we will face together,

but unless you give
yourself to me willingly,

heart and soul,

I cannot help you.

How can the Lexicon
help me?

[quiet chuckle]

Don't you want to
live as a god?

No.

But I can see
that you do.

So I can deliver us
from this terrible war,

save Athens
and its people.

Who else will you usher
through the doors of Olympus

and make immortal?

Just you and me, Hero.

We would walk this world
like Athena and Apollo.

And if we fail?

I will purge this beast
from your soul nevertheless.

No.

I will
make you safe.

No.

The Lexicon is a curse.

It will corrupt us all.

[

An army approaches.

Its leader
is an enemy of the gods.

What sort
of army?

An army of the future,

more powerful
than any we can imagine.

Beware.

"Beware"?

If it's an army
of the future,

how can
it approach now?

[Footsteps in distance]

The Oracle sleeps
in the arms of the goddess.

Her muses
have danced away.

[dryly]: Thank you,
Priest of Gaia.

I haven't come
for a vision.

Then what is it
you want, mystic?

You know me?

The Magi
are not welcome

in a house of God.

[

Where is the Oracle of Gaia?

She walks with
the son of Aegeus.

Quiet!

Run from
this place, mystic,

before the gods
exact their revenge.

Your gods
hide and cower.

I'm not afraid of them.

Then you should
fear us.

Ahh!

[groans]

Where did they go?

I don't know!

Where?

King Minos's camp.

When?

A few days ago.

Does Medea,
Queen of Athens, know?

Yes.

Ahh...

- [Thud]
- [Breath rasping]

Don't be afraid.

[mallet clanging]

I might've found a way
to get into Athens.

But first

you have to help me
slip away.

What are you planning?

I'm meeting Athenian emissaries
in the temple on Mount Pelion.

How did you swing that?

I switched a message
intended for Minos,

who thinks he's meeting them
in a few days

to discuss terms for surrender,

but they'll be meeting me
tomorrow instead.

Huh.

First, you have to
create a diversion

so that I can
slip away.

What sort of
diversion?

[breathing anxiously]

Go on.

[snake hissing]

Cut me again.

[

I will hurt you more
if you do not fight back.

[smack]

Cut me.

Go on...

cut me.

What are
you doing here?

I need you,

and I know
you need me.

Very slowly,

moving around...

inside.

Looking for a meal.

I will hurt you more
if you do not fight back.

You want to get rid of it,
don't you?

Just as your father did.

Yes.

I will take it from you

and set you free.

Yes.

Thank you, Ariadne.

[moaning]

[Oracle]: Don't you dare!

Not until you've untied me.

[

For some reason,
I can't seem to untie this.

You would
give the Lexicon to her?

To anyone.

Anyone.

Then let me take your seed.

What?

First, wet my lips with yours.

No, no, no, no, no.

Use your tongue.

[

I will cut you,
Athenian.

Stand back.

[gasps]

[panting anxiously]

[exhales heavily]

Guard! I need help here.

[pigeon cooing]

Where did you
find that bird?

It flew into
my room, Majesty.

And who were you
taking it to now?

Pallas,
Priest Xerxes,

or my son?

Neither.

None.

[coos]

If you haven't been
feeling nervous lately,

you should start
feeling very nervous now.

[

Lykos...

you poor fool.

Where did you
arrange to meet?

What difference
does it make now?

Minos would kill you.

The only reason
he's even responding

is because
he mistakenly thinks

you carry
the Lexicon.

Do I have your word

that you won't leave
the palace tomorrow?

Tomorrow?

I arranged to meet him
at the next full moon.

It's not for two days.

I suppose it's not surprising
he wants to see you sooner.

Who knows about this?

Only your scribe,

which obviously means
Pallas knows, too.

Kimon is loyal
to me, not Pallas.

Have you tested
that loyalty?

I don't have to.

Lykos.

Does Pallas know

that you're trying
to negotiate

terms for surrender?

He will use it
against us.

Lykos...

tell me
he doesn't know.

I'm sorry, Mother.

[defeated sigh]

We are very lucky
I intercepted this.

But now I must
act quickly.

[

The enemy is preparing
a major offensive.

What sort
of offensive?

They're building something.
Mechanical.

Why can't
they fight like men?

I'm sure they will,

once they've breached
these walls.

We should strike first!

Our troops
are anxious, Majesty.

Some think that Daedalus,
the Minoan genius,

is behind this trickery.

Too anxious to fight?

I hope you're not
considering terms for surrender.

How dare you use
that word in here?

What theatre is this?

It's a Minoan carrier pigeon.

[Medea]: A message

sent by carrier pigeon
from King Minos,

agreeing to meet secretly

with a representative
of this court.

Whatever for?

To negotiate terms
for surrender.

Who would do
such a thing?

Someone who's had
his eye on this throne

for many years.

My brother?

This is
utter nonsense.

How could you
possibly suspect me,

your most devoted supporter?

I asked myself
the same question.

You wouldn't have done it

without support of your own,
of course.

Isn't that right...

Priest Xerxes?

I'm sorry, Majesty.
I don't fol...

No one would dare
plot against my husband

unless he had followers
within the court,

and, of course...

the church.

I suppose
there is a logic...

You're a man with
his ear to the ground.

Perhaps you've heard
a whisper or two?

[

Come to think of it...

Lord Pallas has been
behaving oddly.

Just the other day,

he asked me about
his olive tree.

What?

It's sick,
and he wanted to cut it down.

Xerxes...

But he doesn't have
an olive tree.

Exactly.

He means you,
Majesty,

that you're sick

and you need
cutting down.

Is this true, Pallas?

Of course not!

I'm afraid so.

- Brother...
- Guards!

These are lies.

Let me see that note.

Where is it written
that I have...?

Save your speeches
for your trial.

Take him down.

[

[knocking]

What do you want?

To repay my debt,

return your tunic
and tell my story.

Thank you for
rescuing me the other day.

Sometimes, I don't know

who our soldiers
are fighting for anymore.

Do you live alone?

My father and brother

were killed
defending our city.

My mother died
giving me life.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Are you a Minoan spy?

No.

So what is your story?

I'm alone.

Like you.

And lonely.

The people I love
are gone.

Like you.

And perhaps also like you...

I dream of a life
without fear...

In a world
of simple pleasures...

without pain and poverty,
like you...

Where my son could grow up
with his father at his side...

And I could give myself
completely to a woman.

Just like you.

A woman that
I would never leave...

Either in this life

or the next.

[

[gasps,
breath shaking]

What's wrong?

I have not been
completely honest with you.

I am no ordinary man.

I carry a demon's curse...

[beast growls]

A curse
I will pass on to my son.

What sort of curse?

A prize of the gods.

He would feel it
when he came of age,

as I did.

Who are you?

Son of Aegeus...

your king.

[scoffs]

That's some story, Minoan.

If you need shelter,
you can stay here.

You risked
your life for me

and I remain
in your debt,

but no more
of your stories.

[crack]

The Athenian spy?

Captured in enemy territory?
When?

A short time ago.

Well done, my daughter.

Well done.

What does the goddess
of the Earth and sea

think about this?

I'm sure the whole of Olympus
rejoices at your success.

Our success.

What shall
we do with him?

I've already
sent him for execution.

No!

No?

No, y-you...
You mustn't hurt him.

As I said before,
he's cursed.

We will all pay the price.

Ah, yes,
the curse thing.

We have to let him go,
otherwise we all die.

No, we should
imprison him.

Yes, keep him away from Athens,
particularly King Aegeus,

while we work
to get into the city

to kill Aegeus,

but we should not
kill the Athenian.

Is that the goddess
of the Earth and sea

giving the orders,
or is it you?

Me? Uh, no!
Her, of course.

[Minos]: I know
you have a soft spot

for this young fellow,

but believe me,
there will be others,

and you may even...

fall in love with your king...

No.

- No?
- I mean...

Yes.

I... I may well
fall in love with my king,

if I haven't already, that is,
but that's...

That's not my point.

What I meant was, no,
it's not about love.

It's about the curse.

[Bellows]:
Execute the Athenian!

No! No!

Where is he?
I want to watch.

We should all watch.

Never mind. Give me the sword.
I'll do it myself.

No, no, Majesty!

At least let me
consult the Keres,

to ensure they will
usher his soul!

[Shrieking]:
No, no, no, no, no!

No, you can't kill him!

He carries
the sacred Lexicon inside him!

Mercenary? Mercenary!

Mercenary...

Do you see her
clearly now, Father?

She is a liar
and a cheat!

[gasps]

The Athenian was the real
firstborn son of Aegeus?

[snaps]:
Was he? Was he?

Yes! Yes.

I mobilized
the largest army

the world
has ever known

to hunt
the Prince of Athens

while he's sitting
in my prison?

Where is he now?

I... I don't know.

He wanted to get into the city
to meet his father, the King.

Now I know why Medea

wasn't able to take the Lexicon
from her son.

But that means, of course,

that she will soon have
her claws in the new prince!

And doubtless solve
the Lexicon quickly.

We must attack at once!
Get up!

[gasps]

Daedalus!

We must attack today. Now!
There's not a moment to lose.

Why are you
dressed that way?

I'm testing a prototype.

No!

It's a diversion tactic,
designed to scatter the enemy!

[all screaming]

Works pretty well,
I think.

[all crying out]

Father,
where is the Oracle?

Find her!

What did you do?

Did you give it up?

If you've cheated me,
thrown away your gift,

denied Athens
its birthright,

I will burn your body
on the city walls, you coward!

You think
I'd do what you did?

Who's the coward?
You or me?

I am your king!

Aegeus!

Let him go.

[gasping intensely]

So, Hero...

what did you do?

I made up my mind.

Oh?

Unless I can find the courage
to face this beast myself...

I will pass the curse
on to my son

and destroy my future wife
as he destroyed my mother.

I will not do that.

You give yourself willingly?

I do.

[wheezing]

[

Unless you trust me completely,
this will not work.

I trust you.
