(adventurous theme music)

(serene music)

(humming)

Hey, come back.

Oh, no.

It looks like father's ship is under attack by ghosts.

Don't worry, my son.

It would take more than an army of ghosts

to prevent your father's return.

(dramatic music)

(Owl hooting)

- [Nisa] Come on, Zephyr.

This is great.

No way, Nisa.

I'm seasick enough as it is.

Besides, I've got work to do.

Who cares about work when we're all gonna die?

If that's a problem why did you suggest we sail

to the Underworld?

Because it's the only way we'll

ever find our way back to Ithaca.

What?

Just by talking to some shabby old ghost?

Tiresias is not a shabby old ghost.

He's a legendary soothsayer ghost.

If anyone can help us find our way home it's him.

Philo's right, Dates.

Besides, what's the harm in a little cruise

to The Land of the Dead?

(Titan grunts)

Whoa!

Explain your concern, brother Poseidon.

Why should I stop Ulysses from entering my domain?

Because he's a treacherous rogue.

If you let him in, the Underworld will never be the same.

Hmm.

On the other hand, any mortal brave enough to seek out

one of my ghosts may be entertaining to watch.

And even more entertaining to destroy.

I swear, Captain.

I had absolutely nothing to do with the appearance

of these items in my pockets.

Tell you what, Sinis.

Give me one good reason I shouldn't feed you to the sharks

and I'll give it serious consideration.

Hmm, give me a moment, would ya?

Oh well.

Bon appetite.

(muffled yelling)

Now that is exactly the sort of low life scum I need

to help with my plans. (laughs)

(yelling)

Hello, my friend.

Your worthless life just has taken on a whole new meaning.

Whoa!

It must be the will of the gods.

Hmm.

For once, that's fine with me.

(coughing) Help me!

Somebody, anybody!

Hey, over there.

(coughing)

- [Sinis] Thank you.

Oh, thank you.

I am truly going to enjoy this.

My name's Sinis.

I, uh, we.

That's it, we were caught in a tempest.

Then, our ship went down with all my belongings.

(Owl hoots)

So, you're a merchant.

What do you deal in?

Stolen goods.

That is, I recover stolen goods

and return 'em to the people who lost 'em.

- [Diomedes] Ulysses!

Huh?

Oh, dear.

We have truly reached the ends of the earth.

The Kingdom of Darkness where Hades the Merciless

reigns supreme.

And you are the one who brought

my precious ship here to perish.

(rats squeaking)

(Philo and Dates shivering)

Oh, come on, guys.

By this time tomorrow we'll have accomplished our mission

and be on our way home.

(snoring)

(suspenseful music)

Just my luck.

Here I am stuck on a ship with nothing

worth the effort to swipe.

(hooting)

Who's there?

What's going on?

Hey!

That's just what I was wondering.

Aren't you supposed to be on watch?

No, no.

I'm just fine.

Just checking the fire.

Well, I'll just be getting back to my post.

(snoring)

(tense music)

(wind blowing)

Whoa, whoa.

What's going on?

You again.

What do you want?

For starters, I didn't rescue you from the ocean

because I like your face.

I am in your debt, oh mighty Poseidon.

Then, listen carefully and I'll tell you how

you can pay off your first installment.

Aw, come on, Ulysses.

What if you need someone little

to squeeze under a rock or something?

We'll send for you.

Yeah, but what if ghosts won't

talk to grownups, only kids?

Then we'll just have to use sign language.

Okay, but if you guys get in over your heads,

don't say I didn't warn you.

I understand your wish to be part

of such a noble endeavor, Nisa

Once again we lay our lives on the line

to find our beloved home.

Does we mean you coming too?

I'm a poet, so I was speaking metaphorically, of course.

Besides, I owe it to the goddess Athena

to defend the ship that will carry us home.

(all laugh)

I, on the other hand, would already be a resident

of The Land of the Dead if it weren't for my rescue.

So, I owe it to you.

(hooting)

I agree.

Why should he go if I can't?

Because I believe in letting a man pay off his debts.

(Poseidon laughs)

(tense music)

(Titan grunts)

(groans)

You are welcome to enter my kingdom, Ulysses,

but you may take out only what, and who, you take in.

We understand.

That is unless my pet Cerberus decides you should stay.

(Hades laughing)

(tense music)

(growling)

That's his pet?

Oh!

Oh, the pain!

Oh, it hurts!

(growling)

It's time to show this unruly pup how to behave

towards its master's guests.

(ominous music)

Anyone care to join me out there?

We may find some interesting bric-a-brac

to replace my broken amphorae.

What about the evil spirits lurking in those

haunted wrecks waiting to seize our very souls?

Ah, oh no.

(voice moaning)

They're already here.

Wait for me!

(growling)

(grunting)

(dramatic music)

(chuckles)

Diomedes, look out!

(growling)

I hate to say it.

But this is one bully whose bite is worse than his bark.

(growling)

(Diomedes sighs)

I've got an idea.

Oh?

There's nothing but rags on this worthless ship.

(Owl hooting)

Then, maybe it's time to head back?

(Owl hooting) (yelling)

(growling)

All right.

Is everyone ready?

On your marks, get set.

(panting)

(yelling)

Dada!

Get back over here, Diomedes.

- [Diomedes] I'm doing the best I can.

Hey, triple ugly!

Come and get me!

Titan, time to bring down the house.

(Titan grunts)

(debris clattering)

Titan?

Hey, hey.

Titan is the man.

Titan is the man.

Hey, yellow belly.

Ghost got you yet?

(Nisa and Zephyr laugh)

(intense buzzing)

- [All] Huh?

(yelling)

- [Ulysses] Wow.

Dates would give his right arm

for a handful of this treasure.

And Hades would be more than happy to take that

and all the rest of him as well if he dared.

There's our highway to the heart of the Underworld.

The River Styx.

According to legend, Tiresias is at the other end

near the Well of Souls.

We'll follow the river bank.

(grunting)

Your sprained ankle was a lame attempt

to fulfill our agreement, mortal.

(Sinis whimpering)

Unfortunately, there are rules even the gods must obey

or I'd do it myself.

Go on.

Get rid of that pest Ulysses now.

(grunts)

(dirt cracking)

(yelling)

(grunting)

You're only half done.

Time to take care of the ones out on the ship.

- [Philo] I warned you, Dates.

Messing with spirits is hazardous to your health.

Hello crew of the Navis.

Ah, there you are.

Thanks to my ankle, I couldn't continue on

with Ulysses and the rest,

but he's got another mission for the rest of us.

That Underworld joint is literally teeming with this stuff.

On the floor, the walls, everywhere.

Oh, very nice.

(gasps)

(yelling)

(Hades laughing)

So, Ulysses wants us to get the rest.

Wait while I go fetch a pouch.

Hmm, a bag.

What am I talking about?

Make that a crate.

Don't go, Dates.

I've got a bad feeling about these stones.

I agree.

I can't believe Hades would appreciate anyone

helping himself to his jewels.

Disobey Ulysses if you want.

Just don't expect to share the stones when I get back.

Come on, partner.

(tense music)

Help!

Titan, take this end and strike for shore.

If he doesn't make it we're goners.

(grunting)

- [Nisa] We should never have let 'em go.

(Owl hoots)

If he gets into trouble,

he better hope those jewels can save him

because I'm not budging from this ship.

(grunts) Come on, Owl.

I don't know what's about to happen,

but if we aren't there to help, Dates is gonna be toast.

(grunting)

- [Both] Huh?

I am Tiresias the Seer.

I've been expecting you.

(Sinis grunts)

Anything wrong?

Just tired.

You keep going.

The jewels are just ahead.

I'll catch up.

You're sure?

And now to collect my reward.

Ankle's healed nicely.

Huh, Sinis?

Yeah, regular miracle, isn't it?

Oh, if you've come for the sparklers,

here take mine. (laughs)

It was a trick.

I've got to warn Dates.

I'm gonna be the richest man in Greece.

Yahoo!

Don't touch those jewels!

It's a trap!

Spare me the doomsday act, Nisa.

This is not a trap.

It's a diamond.

(Nisa and Dates yelling)

(Owl hooting)

- [Tiresias] Strangely enough I get few visitors these days.

Is that your home you seek?

Then, I believe I can help.

Hmm.

- [Tiresias] To reach Ithaca, all you have to do is...

What?

(yelling)

Ulysses, you have betrayed my trust.

Our understanding is at an end.

But all we sought from your kingdom

was a means of finding our way home.

But Ulysses himself told Sinis we should collect

as many gems as we could.

I was only following orders.

That's what I was trying to tell you, you ninny.

Sinis lied.

I beg your forgiveness, Mighty Hades.

My friends and I were the victim of a vicious trick.

- [Poseidon] Ha, of course you were, Ulysses.

It's never your fault, is it?

Don't say I didn't warn you about this one.

Poseidon, I should've guessed you were behind Sinis

and this pathetic attempt to deceive your own brother.

What?

It's bad enough that you accuse me of treachery,

but to imply that my brother is stupid enough

to be fooled by...

Unforgivable.

Mortals, your punishment will be severe.

(yelling)

Hades, you must listen!

I agree that all must be punished as they deserve.

In that case I'll see that the others still on the ship

get their just desserts as well.

Excellent.

Because I believe that should apply

to all those responsible.

As do I.

Please, continue.

In truth, sire, the mortal Sinis shares equal blame

for tempting my crew.

- [Hades] Hmm.

Nisa?

Nisa!

Nisa!

Nisa, Nisa!

Say something, you inconsiderate girl.

Where are you?

Same place you're about to go, poet.

Otherwise known as The Land of the Dead.

Consider yourself lucky, kid.

I don't need a captain to sail out of here,

but I do need a ship's boy.

(gasps)

(yelling)

(grunting)

What am I doing here?

What's going on?

Your partner sold you out.

He told Hades what you did.

Oh, Mighty Hades.

Whatever he said, it's not true.

Poseidon made me do it.

It was all his idea.

What?

I have never seen this squirming liar before in my life.

You're not gonna take that from your ex-partner, are you?

All right, fish god.

Explain this.

You gave him your trident, brother?

Then it was you who was playing me for a fool.

No.

Honestly, Hades.

It's not what it looks like.

Ulysses, you will suffer for this.

(yelling)

Innocent or guilty, Ulysses.

You and your crew are banned from my kingdom forever.

On the other hand.

Sinis, I have the perfect job for you.

My three-headed guard dog's kennel hasn't been cleaned

in over a thousand years or so.

Which means you had better start shoveling now.

(Sinis yelling)

I don't deserve your friendship.

Because of my greed I nearly got us all killed.

You didn't know it was a trick, Dates.

And besides, we did get out alive, I think.

Thank you.

All of you.

I'm going to change.

I promise.

That's great, Dates.

Look, Sinis left a huge diamond behind.

Where?

Let me at it.

Oh, no.

I did it again.

(all laughing)

- [Ulysses] Old habits die hard.

Right, skipper?

You've escaped your fate this time, Ulysses,

but next time it will be something far worse.
