All language subtitles for Atlantis 2013 S02E07 A Fate Worse Than Death 720p BluRay HEVC x265 BONE

It seems Pasiphae has
learnt of the King's death.

Then we are at war.

I have dreamt of
the day I would retake the throne.

I will not leave my people to
suffer under her tyranny.

Why would Pasiphae spare
Jason's life? Who is she to him?

She is his mother.

If Jason learns the truth,
his heart will blacken

and he will be lost to us forever.

I am not who you believe me to be.

You are exactly who I believe you to be!

No! No!

There was such hatred in his eyes.

He will only ever see me as his enemy.

I came to kill Medea.

And yet you
spared her life. Why is that?

I sense something in you,
as you sense it in me.

I won't deny myself any
longer. Marry me.

- The city is awash with rumours.
- Rumours of what?

That the Queen is to marry Jason.

You're certain?

Our friend in court assures
me the rumours are true.

Leave us.

Surely this cannot be allowed to happen?

Do not make me ask you twice.

Pasiphae?

I have been weak.
This is what comes of it.

He is your son.

It is only natural
you have feelings for him.

Because I held him in my
arms all those years ago?

No.

I will not let that destroy
everything we've worked for.

What do you mean?

If Jason takes the throne,
Atlantis will be lost to us forever.

I would see him die
before that happens.

Delmos?

You wish to see me?

What is it?

When you appointed me general,
you asked for honest counsel.

I meant what I said. Speak your mind.

Your marriage to Jason.
He is not of royal blood.

I fear the nobles will never accept it.

Perhaps, in time, their attitudes
will soften.

No. They will sow discontent,
and it will weaken you.

You think I should give in to them?

Does that not make me appear weak?

A young Queen cannot afford
such powerful enemies.

There seems little point to being Queen

if I must please my enemies
before myself.

The throne gives the illusion
of power...

..but you need support.

You cannot rule without it.

I also asked you to swear
an oath of loyalty.

Being loyal sometimes
demands hard truths.

Your union with Jason is a mistake.

Then we will consult the gods.

It is for them to decide whether
the union is blessed, not you.

The Queen seeks the gods'
blessing for her marriage to Jason.

She fears the people will not accept it?

She is right to be concerned.
There is much unease.

Bring Jason and the Queen to me
at nightfall.

They must make a blood offering.

I can't believe how nervous I am.

Have some wine.
That will ease your nerves.

You can't make a blood offering
to the gods stinking of cheap wine.

Fair enough.

It is time.

Good luck.

It'll be fine.

We know he's of royal blood,
even if he doesn't.

That doesn't mean the union
will be blessed.

Who can know the minds of
the gods?

They could shatter Jason's
hopes in an instant.

Why would you say
something like that?

You fear the gods' verdict.

What if the omens aren't good?

Do you believe that marrying
the Queen is the right thing to do?

More than anything.

There is no truer guide than your heart.

Exo t'haim' esetai kai esso
essetai haima.

Exo t'haim' esetai kai esso
essetai haima.

I will take your offering to
the sacred grove at Dodona.

The gods will make their will known.

At dawn, you will have your answer.

When we next see each other,
we will know if our union is blessed.

No matter what the gods
or anyone else says,

I know we are meant to be together.

Let us pray the omens are good.

Even with the gods' blessing,
there are still some

who will never accept the marriage.

What did the Oracle say?

We must return at dawn.

Now will you drink some wine?

Definitely.

Drink up.

Stay here until I return.

Ei keleai despoina pepoitha.

Monon de tod' aito.

Ara pater panton
tod' antipalo popoeken?

Ar-un süzügian

eudaimon. E phamen uranius.

Tus asteras engelaontas.

We must return.

It is as we hoped.
The omens are good.

The gods have blessed the union.

That is welcome news.

Send word to the palace
that I have returned.

I will see to it personally.

You dare to violate this sacred place?

I feared you were dead.

Jason? Jason?

What happened?

They've taken the Oracle.

We continue to search the Lower Town,
but she may very well

have been taken out of the city.

Only Pasiphae would do such
a thing.

You don't think she means to kill her?

The Oracle is a servant of the gods.

Anyone who tried to kill her
would be forever cursed.

She means to stop the marriage.

With the Oracle gone, you cannot claim
the union is blessed.

I don't see how Pasiphae
could have taken the Oracle

without the help of someone
inside the court.

What about the soldiers that
escorted her to the sacred grove?

Their loyalty is beyond question.
I hand-picked them myself.

Widen the search.
Do whatever it takes to find her.

You believe I am the one who betrayed
the Oracle, don't you?

There are rumours you disapprove
of the marriage.

Is this true?

How can I approve when it
would weaken the Queen's position?

So you would do anything to stop it?

There are those that
conspire against the Queen.

I am not among them.

Pasiphae was sheltering in the Temple
of Hecate in the Kalabrian forest

so we should assume that that's where
they've taken the Oracle.

We should keep this to ourselves
until we're certain who we can trust.

Our friend in court has served
us well. Does anyone suspect him?

Not that I am aware of.

Good. I'm sure
we will have further use for him.

You should return to Atlantis
before you're missed.

How strange it is to see you
languishing in a cell.

You believe you can prevent
the union of Jason and Ariadne.

You are wrong.

The people believe that Jason
is not of royal blood.

They will not accept the union
unless it is blessed by the gods.

And without you, that cannot happen.

You cannot stop Jason taking
the throne.

Only the gods can do that.

Your faith is your weakness.

And Jason is yours.

How does it feel to know
that your own son hates you?

I do not care what he thinks of me.

He would despise you even
more if he knew the truth.

I did what was necessary.

You have betrayed everyone
close to you.

You usurped one husband,
poisoned the other.

And now you would have your
own son killed

- so that you can take the throne.
- That's a lie!

Is it?

That's why Jason's father
took him from you.

And now that child has
returned to haunt you.

He is your blood.

You've held that baby in your arms.

You cannot deny your love for him.

I have no love for him.

You lie, even to yourself.

I pity you.

Save your pity for yourself.

Why?

What do you mean?

You will find out soon enough.

I will enter the fortress alone.

Is that safe?

It would be perilous for anyone else.

You and your men should
wait here.

We are still no closer to learning
who may have betrayed the Oracle?

I'm afraid not.

Who has access to the inner sanctum?

Only trusted members of the court
have keys.

I cannot believe it was one of them.

Then how is it the intruders
were able to gain access?

It seems we have a traitor
amongst us.

It hasn't got any prettier.

I thought you might be hungry?

Do not pretend to care for my
wellbeing. You have come to taunt me.

I will leave the food
nonetheless.

Holding me here will change
nothing. It only delays the inevitable.

Such certainty.
Was it your fate to become my prisoner?

The gods do not show me my own path.

Your power resides in fear
and superstition.

My power derives from the gods!

And yet the gods appear
to have abandoned you.

How long do you intend to
keep me here?

You are confused.

I do not intend to keep you.

I intend to kill you.

Then you will suffer
the wrath of the gods.

I will suffer nothing.
You will not die by my hand.

Who is it, then? Who will kill me?

Bring them here
and I will tell them their fate.

They will be cursed forever.

Nobody would dare.

You think you are untouchable?

You are wrong.

What it is you mean to do with me?

At last it is I who sees the future.

How you enjoyed taunting me
with your... prophecies.

It must be strange for you,
to feel so... blind.

Oh.

You should be glad the gods
don't allow you to see your own fate.

No!

There are some things it is
best never to see.

Those Stymphalian birds
won't taste Hercules's blood, not today.

Why didn't they take her at the grove?

What's that?

The Oracle.
Why wait until she returned to Atlantis?

It would have been easier
outside of the city.

What are you saying?

I don't know. There's something strange
about the timing of it.

Did everything go as planned?

It was as you said it would be.

Good.

Prepare the shrine,
then clear your men from the temple.

- All of them?
- Every living soul.

You are to remain in the forest
until I tell you otherwise.

You have the key?

It's all right.

You cannot harm us.

Come.

Oh, you poor child.

I was promised you could cure me?

And you were told there
would be a price?

Yes.

You will do as I ask?

You are the first people I have
spoken to in as long as I can remember.

Alone in that cave,
I have felt like I was losing my mind.

All I know is silence...

and darkness...

I would rather die than live
like this.

Take another's life...

and I will end your misery.

May the gods have mercy on me.

The temple is only a short
distance away.

Why are they camped in the forest?

Whatever the reason,
I suggest we go around.

One look,
and I will put an end to your suffering.

There is someone here to see you.

The gods will have their vengeance.

And you will not live to see it.

Turn around.

It will be swift. I promise.

Why are there no guards?

It's a trap. We're walking into a trap.

There's only one way to find out.

No...

There is only one person
who could have done this.

She wouldn't.

How else do you explain it?

She would never do such a thing.

- Medusa?
- Hercules, wait!

Jason?

From the first moment I
arrived in Atlantis,

she was always there for me.

I am truly sorry.

We have to go after Hercules.

They will pay for this.

Medusa?!

Medusa, it's me. Hercules

Medusa?

You're cured. You're cured!

I couldn't stand another
moment alone in that cave.

Pasiphae promised me a cure.

No...

The Oracle?

I didn't know it was going to be her.
I swear.

I just wanted to be with you,
to look on you with my own eyes...

This is all my doing.

There was nothing you could do.

I should've tried harder.
I should've found a way.

Hercules?!

You must go. They will make
you answer for what you've done.

It is no less than I deserve.

- Don't say that.
- Hercules!

Do you remember the old hunting lodge
in the mountains above the city?

- We slept under the stars...
- Go there.

I'll come for you when I can.

No, I cannot bear to leave you again...

- You must, for both our sakes.
- Hercules?!

I will come for you
as soon as I can. Go!

Hercules?

- Hercules?
- Where is she? Where's Medusa?

I don't know.

We need to find her.

I've searched everywhere.
She's gone.

She must have fled long ago.

We should return to Atlantis.

Jason has returned.

Where is the Oracle?

We were too late.

There was nothing that we could do.

She's dead.

I am so sorry.

Surely even Pasiphae would
not dare kill her.

She was a servant of the gods.

She was turned to stone,
by the Gorgon Medusa.

I want this Medusa hunted
down and brought before me.

- No!
- Hercules...

I know Medusa. She is a good person.

This is Pasiphae's doing.

I do not doubt that Pasiphae
is behind it,

but Medusa must answer
for what she has done.

Please...
I am begging you to show some mercy.

There can be no mercy!

In the eyes of the gods,
there is no greater crime.

Their vengeance will be...

unimaginable.

I thought you might be hungry.

I have no appetite.

You have to eat.

There is nothing more
you could do for Medusa.

She is as much a victim
in this as anybody.

She killed the Oracle.

She must have been under duress.

Pasiphae must have forced her.

I know Medusa.

She has a good heart,
purer than any of us.

It is many months
since we last saw her.

Being cursed as she was,
it is a heavy burden.

- What are you saying?
- She may not be

- the Medusa we know and loved.
- Don't say that.

Don't you dare judge her.

I'm sorry.

You know nothing.

You are not to blame.

Just leave me.

I have never seen him so grim.

Everything that has happened...

it is all because I agreed
to marry Ariadne.

A single decision can have
many... unintended consequences.

It is like ripples across a pond.

That's not to say that you're to blame.

Marrying Ariadne.

Nothing would make me happier.

But maybe the price is too high.

Where are you going?

To try and stop the ripples.

I can't believe she's gone.

I know. It is too hard.

What is it?

With everything that's happened,

are you sure we should be
going ahead with the marriage?

You think we shouldn't?

It isn't that I don't love you.

I do, more than I can express,
but other people have suffered for it.

The Oracle has paid with her
life so that I might marry for love.

If we don't, she will have
given her life for nothing.

This won't be the end of it.

You know there are some that
will never accept our marriage.

It seems that whatever we do,
there will be suffering.

Surely that is why
we must do what is right?

You see, I am no longer sure
I know what that is.

The only thing I am
completely sure of is that I love you...

with all my heart.

There is no doubt
about my feelings for you.

But by marrying you,
I put your life at even greater risk.

It is a risk I gladly accept.

We have a responsibility
beyond ourselves.

I know that more than anyone.
There isn't a day that goes by

that I don't feel
the weight of that responsibility.

I know how hard it is for you...

Then share the burden with me.

Stand by my side as my husband.

Pasiphae fears our union.
Surely that makes it a good thing?

No good has come of it so far.

Then we will show the good
that can come from it.

Let us not be cowed
or dictated to.

You think our marriage
weakens me. You are wrong.

I am stronger with you at my side.

You really believe that?

With all my heart.

You wished to see me?

I want to set a date for the wedding.

Without the Oracle to speak
for the gods,

the people will not accept
the union is blessed.

I refuse to be cowed by Pasiphae.

If I show weakness,
she will only grow bolder.

Perhaps you should take
some time to consider it.

My mind is set.
Make the necessary preparations.

Of course.

You're out of bed?

You were right. Pointless, me
moping around, feeling sorry for myself.

What are you doing with the bread?

This bread?

Yes.

I'm taking it to give to the poor.

You're giving away our food?
What will we eat?

I have no time for your selfish
ways. Shame on you.

Ariadne plans to marry
without the blessing of the gods.

That is sacrilege.

You talk of sacrilege.
The Oracle was murdered.

That was never part of the plan.

You must have known that
Pasiphae would never let her go.

It cannot happen.
You must stop the wedding.

How? The Queen's mind is set.

You are Poseidon's representative
on Earth. You speak for the gods.

Surely they will not stand for this?

If you fail, everything you hold
dear will be taken from you.

Where have you been?

I was in the tavern.

I thought you were
giving our food to the poor?

I was, then I went to the tavern.
It's thirsty work...

Where were you, really?
I know something is going on.

I don't have to explain
my whereabouts to you.

What have you done?

What is the meaning of this?!

- Search the house!
- You have no right!

Seize him!

Take your hands off him!

You have been accused of
murdering the Oracle.

That's ridiculous!
Why would I do that?

The High Priest demands that
you answer to the gods.

He is innocent. Let him go!

Of course... Of course.
How could I have been so stupid?

That's why they didn't take
the Oracle at the sacred grove.

Why?

Because they would only take her

if the gods gave their blessing
to the marriage.

Who would be the first person
the Oracle told on her return?

The High Priest.

Why are you doing this?
You know I'm innocent.

It is the gods
who demand you stand trial, not I.

The Queen will try and put a
stop to this but you must stand firm.

Your Majesty? Your Majesty?

What is it?

It's Jason. He's been arrested.

On whose authority?

It was Melas. Jason stands
accused of murdering the Oracle.

Before Poseidon, you are charged with
the most serious of crimes.

I will see you pay for this.

You dare threaten the High Priest?!

What is the meaning of this?
Why has Jason been arrested?

He stands accused
of murdering the Oracle.

He must answer to the gods.

And why would he have
reason to harm her?

When the Oracle returned
from the sacred grove at Dodona...

she told me that the gods
had not blessed your union.

Jason murdered her
so that the wedding might go ahead.

That's a lie!

You were found alone in the temple

moments after the Oracle was
taken against her will.

I was knocked unconscious
by the men who took her.

You know I was.

Lycidas?

Is this the man you saw in the inner
sanctum after the Oracle was taken?

Speak the truth.

I heard a cry.
I went to the inner sanctum.

What did you see?

He was there, a knife in his hand.

I have done nothing wrong.

It was you.

You betrayed her.

You insult Poseidon
with your accusations.

I will not stand for this.
Release him.

The most heinous crime
has been committed.

The gods have been blasphemed.

You would deny them vengeance?

I know Jason to be innocent.

That is not for you to decide.

It is for the gods
and those who speak for them.

It is for the priests to pass judgement.

I do not seek to deny vengeance,

but it must be brought on
those who committed the crime.

You claim to speak for the
gods on this matter?

I speak as Queen,
as servant to Poseidon.

You say you are Poseidon's servant,

yet you refute those
who would do his will.

We all answer to the gods, even you.

But perhaps you no longer
think that?

You believe yourself to be
above the gods?

You are right, of course.

All of us must answer to the gods.

We must all face their judgement.

Before Poseidon, you are found guilty.

In accordance with our laws,
you are sentenced to death.

Jason has been
found guilty by Poseidon himself.

Perhaps Your Highness could
petition Poseidon to show clemency.

There can be no clemency,
only justice.

The sentence must
and shall be carried out.
