All language subtitles for Olympus s01e11 The Speed of Time.eng

[Oracle]: Unless we stop him,

the son of Aegeus
will destroy our world.

There will be nothing left
of Gaia's earth

but dust and tears.

[Hero]:
It's the ring of the Magi.

- No!
- What is this water?

[Medea]: The River Styx,

the boundary between our world
and the underworld.

[Daedalus]: I created you,

and I'd trade my whole life
to have you back!

You should have let your heart
be your guide, not your mind.

[Hero]: I've killed
the only woman I've ever loved.

[Medea]: As an immortal god,

you will have the power

to bring mortals back
from the underworld.

[Hero]:
I can save my mother, too.

I am closer now
than ever before

to unlocking
the doors to Olympus.

Then I will undo
this terrible crime.

[groans in pain]

I'm so sorry, Medea.

You sacrificed
your love to the gods,

and now you've sacrificed
your heritage.

The north wind.

The icy shield of Athens.

If we don't
find a way out,

we'll freeze to death.

[Daedalus]: Icarus...

What's it good for?

Don't you
see him walking?

Yes.

I've made a drawing
move like a man.

So what?

[stammers in confusion]

This has never
been done before.

Our house is bare,

our stomachs empty,

winter grows ever nearer,

and you sit around
making drawings move?

I...

I could sell it
in the market.

Why would anyone want
that stupid thing, Daedalus?

No one wants
your ridiculous ideas.

[sighs]

How will
our child survive?

While you dream
your empty dreams,

we go hungry.

Why couldn't I have
married a man

with a head
on his shoulders?

What hope is there
for our child?

Our child is dead, my sweet.

I killed him.

[sobbing] My empty dreams
destroyed our son.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry, my love.

[weeping]

What?

One day, my dreams
will make us rich.

I don't want
to be rich.

I want to be happy.

Aren't you happy?

No. I'm hungry.

No one can be happy
when they're hungry.

Strange...

It disappears.

Dreams are
for the gods.

You are not a god,
Daedalus.

You are just
a stupid old fool.

It disappears...

It disappears.

Speed of the gods.

You're not made of magic.

You're made of nature,

just like us.

[ice crackling]

We're sealed in.

And it's getting colder.

Why?

Boreas, god of the north wind,
is exacting his revenge.

So this is
where we die?

In this frozen tomb?

And the Lexicon
dies with me?

Why would
the god of the north wind

defy his mighty Zeus?

The north wind
cares nothing for Zeus.

Gods quarrel just like men.

Unless this, too,
is a test.

What do you mean?

You said I must sacrifice
three things

to open the doors of Olympus.

The first was love,
the second was heritage,

but what was the third?

That is something
you must discover for yourself.

Maybe this is where I find out.

How?

The cold does strange
things to a man's mind.

I once saw things I imagined
come to life before my eyes,

demons and ghosts.

I had to fight hard
just to keep my wits.

Are you saying that Zeus
is trying to drive you mad

to help you see
more clearly?

It doesn't make sense, does it?

On the contrary,

it makes complete sense.

The most powerful things
are buried so deep inside us

that we would never
accept them,

unless we let go.

Let go of what?

Everything
we've been taught,

everything
we hold sacred.

The codes we live by.

[wind blowing]

[Oracle shivering]

Guards?

Your men are dead,

frozen by
the north wind.

Even the honor guard?

When the oil runs out,

we will freeze to death

if we haven't starved already.

I would be happy to die
with you in my arms.

I'm not
in your arms, King,

and I never will be.

Why do you hurt me?

You know how much I love you.

You only love power and wealth.

Am I that repulsive?

Yes!

You are old
and I am young.

We belong in different worlds.

Age is an illusion.

Touch my heart
and see how young it is.

When I finally give up
my sacred gift

to lie with a man,

it will be
with the right man.

[coughs]

He doesn't exist.

You of all people
should know that, Oracle.

All men are corrupt.

Not all.

[chortles]

Those who aren't
make terrible bedfellows.

Then I shall
remain as I am.

Are you
afraid of love?

Is that why
you fight me so?

Love is a painful curse

which eats away
at the hearts of men

and turns them into fools.

Oh, no, no, Oracle.

Love will make you feel alive

for the very first time
in your life...

Enough!

Kiss me.

[shivering]

We should share
each other's warmth.

Yes.

[shivering]

You mustn't fall asleep.

If you fall asleep,
the cold will kill you.

I won't fall asleep.

Tell me a story.

I have no stories.

Your childhood must have
been filled with stories.

My mother
told me some,

but I can't
remember them now.

What was she like?

She was all I had...

strong, yet gentle.

She never
showed fear,

never doubted
herself,

never wept.

She always smiled
and understood me.

She must have
loved you very much.

As I loved her.

Was she beautiful?

I have yet to meet
a woman to rival her.

She caught
your father's eye.

As did you.

You could be
my son, too, Hero.

Your smooth skin feels
very familiar...

like his.

But you didn't love him.

Why would you say that?

You sought him out

only because you thought

he carried the Lexicon
inside him.

There are many
different types of love.

[voice, in memory]:
Dear god, where are you?

What do you hear?

It's my mother
calling.

No, no, that's your mind
playing tricks.

Perhaps,

or maybe
my test begins.

Help me, please!

Apollo...

my cruel god of excellence,

I know you don't listen
to our kind,

or consider our selfish prayers,

but I also know...

you can see me here,

in open ground.

So I ask you now,

show yourself.

Change your speed

and let me look at you.

I know your secret,

and I will use it against you.

[Hero]: Mother.

What happened?

I cut myself.

Is it really you?

I've missed you.

I thought
you'd left us for good.

What? Us?

My son and I.

Your son.

I am your son.

Mother, do you see?

Can you see it's me?

I have dreamt of this moment

ever since you left.

Stop.

Don't break my heart
all over again, Aegeus.

I am not Aegeus.

Please, cover yourself.

You loved me once.

You're not thinking straight.

One kiss is all I ask,

and I will let you go.

One kiss.

Please.

Otherwise I will walk forever

in a shadowland.

Don't you dare.

What did I do?

You could be my son.

I kissed you?

[sighing] I'm sorry.

My mind is
playing tricks on me.

I thought...

[Squeaking]

Apollo!

A boy...

[stifling laughter]

You're a boy.

Do you want to end up
in this bag, old man,

like these rats?

My knowledge can hurt you
and you know that,

but you let me live.

What do you know?

Kill me, and then
you won't have to worry.

You disappoint me.

Bring back my son.

What for?

You ignored him.

I will make amends.

You will
make him suffer.

Why?

It is in your nature.

You have made your choices
wisely, Daedalus.

[rats squeaking]

I want to change,

give up my work

and love my family
with all my heart.

What fantasy world
are you living in?

You are
a man of science.

If you try
to retrace your steps,

undo all of your good work,

you will be left with nothing.

Why do you let me live?

You know nothing,
old man,

or you would have
hurt us already.

Can't you see

that you've sacrificed
your earthly love

to gods who couldn't
care less about you.

Their love is eternal.

Ours just
withers and dies.

If you had felt true love,
you wouldn't trust them.

How do you know
I haven't felt love?

The son of Aegeus,

yes, he won
your heart.

He won your heart,
and then tossed it away

to pursue my daughter.

Oh, how blind
I've been.

Love eats away
at you, too,

doesn't it, Oracle?

Oh, my poor Oracle,
I am so sorry.

If it's
any consolation,

I share
your suffering.

Why would my mother

confuse me
with Aegeus?

He was her lover.

I am her son.

It is your vision, not hers.

It is you
who confuses the two.

That's impossible.

It's the only thing
that is possible.

She is dead.

She can
no longer dream.

Her effect on you can
only be conjured by you.

She is my mother.

Not ever have I thought
of her as my lover.

I am what you need.

Why?

To guide you.

Why will you guide me?

Because I love you.

But I love another.

She is gone.

How dare you try
to steal my love?

Witch!

Let her go, she lives
only in your imagination.

And you're real?

I wait for you.

Flesh and blood.

My heart belongs
to Ariadne,

alive or dead.

She will bury you underground.

He will feel more alive
with me underground

than in your
frigid embrace.

I love him.

You are a cold,
dead, vengeful love,

ruled by deals and reprisals.

No, I am true love.

No...

I am true love.

Wild, intense,

free from the chains
of your cruel Gods.

A love without Gods
is an empty love.

You are a virgin,

in body and mind.

You know nothing of love.

I know what I feel.

You cannot
have us both.

You must choose.

Me or her.

My love.

My love...

[sighs in anguish]

You know.

What was it you said?

The most powerful things

are buried
so deep inside us...

the only way
we can accept them

is if we let go.

[ice crackling]

You've done this...

imprisoned us
in these walls of ice.

It's your cold heart.

Let me warm you.

You would give
the Lexicon to me?

I can make love without
giving up the Lexicon.

It is too great a risk.

This is part of my test.

Don't fight me.

Don't you dare
die, King!

I'm sleeping,
not dying.

Fall asleep and the
cold will kill you.

If I cannot
feel your love,

then I have nothing
left to live for.

I will not be left alone
with a corpse.

You have quite a way
with words, Oracle.

Have I ever
told you that?

[footsteps crunch in snow]

[whispers]
I hear something outside.

[crunching footsteps approach]

[yelps in fright]

Oh!

Oracle?

Oh, Daedalus!
Thank the gods.

Sit and warm yourself.

Where have you been?

I thought you'd died
like all the others.

Sit.

Is the king dead?

Yes.

Of a broken heart.

What happened to
your men?

Deserted

or dead.

And Priest Kre-Kre?

[coughing] He fled
with the rest.

Where is the son of Aegeus?

I don't know.

Use your gift.

Find him.

Don't you think I've tried
over and over again?

All I can see is his evil face
staring back at me.

Have you taken her gift?

You flatter me.

Then what happened?

I don't know.

Turn your mind back.

What clue have we
not uncovered?

There is nothing.

What do you know
of the speed of the gods?

What?

The sacred ring
is a weapon. How?

I don't know.

Ask your sacred mother.

Perhaps she will
respond to that.

Oh, it's no use.

- Try again.
- No!

Try again!

Holy mother,

forgive my angry heart.

Purge the pain
from my fragile soul

and look behind the veil.

Why do we dance
to the speed of time?

It's no use.

You said we danced
to the speed of time.

Why?

Isn't that
what you asked?

No, I said
the speed of the gods.

Where have you heard
that phrase before?

Uh... in the...
the Temple of Gaia.

That's what
the son of Aegeus called it

when Priest Cyrus
first bled him.

What else did he say?

Uh, he talked
of a serpent

with a line
of yellow diamonds

running down its spine.

What does that mean?

Uh, Priest...

Priest Cyrus thought

it was an emblem
of the sacred ring.

The serpent was coiled
round the waist of a maiden

with long,
plaited hair,

one of five maidens

who danced
in a circle.

The maidens are
the five fingers,

and the serpent is
the ring of the Magi,

and they danced
to the speed of time.

The speed of time.
Yes, yes, yes, go on.

Uh, a blind prophet
was watching the dance.

He wore a crown
of white flowers,

and in one hand,
he held a scythe,

and in the other
an olive branch,

and the blind prophet
was weeping.

The scythe represents Chronos,
god of time.

The olive branch,
as we know,

reflects peace.

The god of time
must be appeased

before we can enter
the door to Olympus.

Our Hero has
appeased him already.

Daedalus,
don't be a fool.

You're a genius.

A genius is a fool!

Time stood still, yes?

On the stepping stone bridge
and the olive tree, yes.

One minute he was there,
then he disappeared.

He was dancing
to the speed of time.

What?

If we were to move fast enough,
we, too, would disappear,

like a hummingbird's wing
that beats so fast,

it shimmers into a blur.

Perhaps the gods

aren't that different from us.

They just live
in a different speed of time.

How?

Imagine that
a second to us

is like
a day to them,

or a week.

We would appear
like helpless statues to them

while they would be
invisible to us.

All we would see is the trail
they leave behind...

wind, storm, earthquake.

No.

The gods live
in a spiritual world

we will never understand,

ruled by mystery and magic,
not science.

Not science,

nature.

They are ruled by nature,
just like us.

Nonsense.

The door to Olympus

is not a door as
we would understand it.

It is a door
in the speed of time,

a mechanism that alters
the way we live.

Daedalus,
you are indeed a genius.

He is in Athens,

in the palace throne room.

He lies in the arms
of a new love...

Medea.

No, Daedalus!

He's trapped inside!

You won't get to him!

Come, my love,

let me
warm your body,

soothe your pain.

[water trickling]

Tell me my secret.

Why do you
hide it from me?

I'm too afraid.

Why?

[gasping in passion]

[gasps in ecstasy]

[shudders]

[gasping breathlessly]

Medea?

You must turn your back
on your quest

and live a mortal life

without curiosity
and ambition.

Who are you?

Your mother,

your first mother,

Gaia.

Why have you cursed me?

The riddle that lives
inside you

is the work of the gods.

Will they release me,

restore my lover,
Ariadne,

and my mother, Aethra,

whose lives
were unjustly taken?

The dead sleep
with my son, Hades.

He does not listen
to mortal men.

But he will listen
to a god.

Once I have walked through
the doors of Olympus,

I will hunt him down.

Not even a god can survive
the fire of Tartarus.

How do I find Zeus?

Once inside Olympus,
you must cross the Bridge.

No one has ever
crossed the Bridge.

[

[hinges creaking]

You have the Ring.

The Bridge?

What is the Bridge?

A narrow labyrinth
of precipices

inside Olympus.

Can you
guide me through?

It is said

if you use your eyes
in the forbidden world,

they will be burned blind
by what they see.

Give me the ring.

Let me test its power.

You know how to use it?

Not yet, but I will find out.

Why do you want something
you don't understand?

I am a scientist.

The ring of the Magi

is nature's greatest mystery.

I have heard you say that
a thousand times, Daedalus,

and not once
have I believed it.

What do you really want?

If you don't tell me the truth,
once and for all,

I will throw you off this roof.

My patience is worn through.

Believe me,
you will die here, old man.

Go on.

Do it.

Do it!

[chuckles ruefully]

You won't kill me,

not because you care,

but because
you know you need me.

Magic isn't going to
open the door to Olympus.

The gods aren't
creatures of spirit.

They are as real and as tangible
as you and I,

and only a man of science
can unlock their door.

How do you know?

Humanity is their mask.

[chuckles]

You think they watch over
and protect us?

Unless you understand
what they are,

what they really want,

you will never reach them.

And you know?

I know I can unravel
their mystery.

And then?

You want to live
like an immortal God?

That is for my prize.

And then?

Rescue those who died unjustly.

And then?

Do as I please.

Live as the gods live?

In hiding?

Battling each other?

Cowering from their
universal enemies,

infecting
the souls of men

with fear and avarice?

You know nothing, old man.

I know that this world
would be a better place

without them!

You want to
destroy the gods?

Imagine a world

that only relies on
the wit of man.

Then men like you

would become gods
of a different kind.

Intellect would rule our world,

not superstition.

Help me get into Olympus,

rescue those I love,

and I will help you
do anything you want.

Do you know
what you're saying?

God or man,

I want to live in peace.

He will
get you killed

before you lay
a finger on the gods.

Our success depends on
respecting their terms.

Do you really think
you'll walk into Olympus

and Zeus will grant
your every wish?

That is his promise.

A promise
from a god...

I want
no part of this.

So be it.

You will not
get into Olympus

without my knowledge.

[scoffs]

You must choose, Hero.

Science or faith.

Him or me?

I need you both.

We live at opposite ends
of the universe.

Well, you'll have to find
a way of working together...

and if you don't trust
in the Gods,

trust in me.

I will honor
both of your wishes.

Who will lead us
over the Bridge?

According to
the mystics,

there is only one person
with that power.

Who?

Someone who sees clearly
without her eyes.

The Oracle of Gaia.

Where is she?

You slept with him?

Let go of me.

You slept with him!

You gave up
your gift to him?

Him!

He was cold.
We both were.

So you crawled in
next to him.

What do you care?

He's a repulsive
old man.

What do you care?

We need your gift.

Your gift, Oracle.

Tell me the truth

or I will cut out
his stomach.

No, you will not hurt
a sick,

defenseless old man.

Watch me!

You can put down
your sword.

I am an Oracle still.

I don't believe you.

What do you want!

The truth.

You, King,

tell me what
you have done?

Sadly, I will go to my death
without experiencing true love.

What does that mean?

The knot in my stomach
has grown tighter

since the first moment
I saw the Oracle of Gaia.

You would be doing me
a great service

by cutting it out.

You love her?

With all my heart.

And you slept with him.

You're jealous.

That has nothing to do with it.

Oh, you have no right
to be jealous.

You abandoned me,

you gave your heart
to his daughter,

then left me here to rot!

And you repay me
by sleeping with her father.

Her father!

I did not!

Prove it.

Use your gift
if it's still intact

and tell me
why I've come for you?

[sighing] I will not
play this game.

Put down your sword

and let us alone!

[gasping]

[cries of protest]
No! No!

[gasping in pain]

This is part of his test.

Hurry,

or you will watch
your lover die.

All right, all right,
I will try,

but first you...
you have to remove your sword,

please.

[gasping in agony]

[panting in fear]

Oh, um...

[breathing deeply]

I ask again.

Tell me
why I have come for you.

Holy mother of earth,
sea, and sky,

touch my heart,

lift this plague,

and grant your divine blessing.

Son of Aegeus,
there must be another way.

Quiet!

I will have
my satisfaction,

or this quest ends here.

I see...

I see a light,

a sort of, um,
a sort of Grey light.

Uh...

It's not clear,
exactly, um...

[roars in frustration] Oh!

Oh, no, please, please,
I can't focus.

I'm too scared.

Scared or spent?

Um...

[stammering]

A light guides me,

a black light filled with...

with fear and...

and suffering.

It leads to...

It leads to...

[wailing in anguish]

Please, please, don't do this!

Please...

You disgust me,

Oracle of Gaia.

This repulsive man...

his blood will forever
stain your hands.

[gasping in pain]

[wails in grief]

[groaning and gurgling]

[screams in horror]

[wailing in disbelief]

You are ready.

Ready for what?

You have made your third
and last sacrifice

to the gods.

Now they will
accept you.

What have I sacrificed?

Your soul.

That's what
you kept from me?

What I had to
discover for myself?

Yes.

Sacrificed for what?

Oracle has lost her gift.

Our journey ends here.

On the contrary,

she saw exactly
what she needs to see...

the black light,

Sentinel of the Bridge.

She didn't give up
her gift after all?

It appears not.
