Original subtitles

You! Yes, Mr. Nervous.

Did you take it?

No, sir!

Do you know who did?

- No, sir. - Uh, okay.

Pull!

I said, "Pull!"

Bingo.

Uh, Roman Nose.

Yeah. Did you take it?

- No, sir. - You know who did?

He did.

He'll fly away with those big ears.

Pull!

We have a problem.

- Oh, yeah? - Did you take Zeus's watch?

- Of course not. - Well, we need to find it.

What? Why?

Because he's started a war room, and he's killing the ball boys.

- What? - Yeah, I just had to make my own coffee.

- What do you mean, "a war room"? - I'm standing in it.

There are two phases, from what I can see.

And I'd call it quite a serious escalation.

What's wrong with him?

Well, I think he was slightly disappointed with your punishment of the Trojans.

Oh yeah. He told me.

- Anyway, look, Poseidon. - I've got to be the rifleman.

He clearly needs to let off some steam.

But he says he can't start until he finds his watch.

So try the boy.

- What boy? - Dionysus.

Leave it to me.

I said, "Pull!"

A long time ago, and I mean a long time ago,

I was a free man.

Free to experience life and love like anyone else.

And, my god, did I love someone.

How's the knee?

- Oh, fucked. - Hmm.

Well, I've started waking up in the night to piss.

Yeah.

Been a long time, Charon.

No shit.

Leave it this long again, I might be dead.

I missed you.

Hmm?

I love you.

Mm.

I know.

I mean it.

What's happened?

Zeus?

He's comin' for me.

- I wish you'd tell me why. - Well, I can't.

I need you to promise me something.

Anything.

You're gonna meet someone.

Might be a few years from now.

You must help them.

- How? - Keep them safe.

You'll know by the mark.

Mm-hmm. What mark?

I... I might need a bit more than that.

Just promise me.

This matters more than anything.

Please?

Swear it.

Of course.

You swear?

I swear it.

Thank you.

And sorry.

For what?

Try not to hate me.

And you are on thin ice, so just shut the fuck...

Okay. Okay. Sorry. Sorry.

Sorry.

Good luck.

Bring him back.

I will.

I love you.

Thank you for everything.

I'm gonna do it.

I know you will.

We've got nothing to lose.

Please help him.

Help Anatole.

Look after each other.

- We will. - We have a lot to lose.

Understood.

Mm.

Oh. Ah, Dennis!

The kitten. Our kitten, he needs feeding.

Can you do that?

Uh...

Yeah. Okay. Sure.

There's wet food under the sink and dry in the...

Well, where's the dry food, Poly? Hmm?

Uh...

Take care of that, please.

Oh, this? Uh, yeah.

Don't worry. We won't tell your daddy.

Okay. Show's over, kids.

Go on, Orpheus.

They don't fit.

You get what you get.

And you do what you're told.

Fuck you, Orpheus.

You hurt?

You're not meant to be here.

And you took your wife's coin.

Yeah, I did.

Because it was the only way I could think of to be with her again.

I know that's fucked up, but I love her. Truly.

Look. I promised your wife I'd look out for you.

I was really moved by what you did at the bar, the puppet.

I'm sorry about your son.

Look, please.

We're alone here.

Shall we at least try to trust each other?

Thank you.

We need to cross the Styx.

Okay, let's go.

Orpheus is useful.

An ego like that has no trouble accepting the notion of a cosmic purpose.

And no suspicion that the purpose might be co-opted.

Others require much more help.

Additional training will be given this evening at 6:00 p.m.

Fotis.

Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh!

Sit. Sit. Sit.

Fancy a walk?

I'm not letting you off the lead.

Okay. Okay.

But you have to promise me, yeah?

Fine.

Fotis! Fotis!

Watches don't just disappear.

Somebody's got it.

Pull!

Ah, this is Zeus. Real busy.

Zeus, it's Persephone. I need to tell you something.

There's a problem in the underworld.

Okay, a soul has escaped from the Nothing.

- What are you doing? - No, Hades!

Message deleted.

You need to tell him what's happened, Hades. You have to.

No, I'll sort it out myself.

Something is wrong, and you know it.

How, Hades? How does a soul disappear? How is that even possible?

And what if it's not just one? What if it's the start of something?

It's not the start of something. It's just a reminder, a kick up the ass.

Zeus put me in charge of the underworld. It's my fault.

- It's not your fault. - It is my fault.

I've sat back. I've not been monitoring the Nothing.

I've let things slide.

So let's see this as an opportunity.

We'll find the soul. We'll put everything right.

There's nothing that can't be fixed if I put my mind to it.

Trust me.

And there's absolutely no need to tell Zeus.

Fotis.

Fotis.

Fotis!

Hey. Okay.

Hey, are you all right?

We have to help them.

Help who?

All of them. In there.

In where?

I got put there because of the monument, didn't I?

The shit, what I said about the gods...

It was my fault. It was all my fault.

Let me help you. You need to go through the Frame.

I've been through the Frame.

What?

Caeneus!

Uh... Stay there, okay?

Are you the reason there's a dog on the loose?

Oh. You've got him? Oh good.

No, not good. He's just pissed on the fax machine.

I'm sorry. He's... He's overexcited.

It's my fault. I... I took him out for a walk.

I missed him.

But it's... it's just, I... I saw this, um...

- Uh... - What?

Uh...

Uh... nothing.

Well, congratulations.

What?

No one's ruined my day off this early before.

Get the fuck back to work!

Yeah.

You all right?

Uh, yeah. Yeah.

- Actually... - Morning!

Sorry, what?

No, it's......nothing.

Uh, can I... sit here?

- Uh, yeah. Yeah. Sure. - Oh, you didn't know.

We're all divers here.

Uh, well, actually, I am a diver.

They just made me one.

But that's impossible.

Well, clearly not.

No, you need to have worked here for years.

I don't know. It was a recruitment drive.

They need more divers.

What are divers?

Oh, dear god.

Is that sugar?

Uh, salt.

Why?

So you can taste it.

Almost.

But why do we do anything that we do?

Eat, sleep, shower. We're dead.

Yes, but we're not savages.

It's routine.

Makes us feel... normal.

Normal, right.

- But why... - You ask a lot of questions, don't you?

In my experience, people who ask questions get into trouble.

Okay. Sorry.

- Two hundred years. - Mm.

It'll fly by.

- Are you coming tonight? - What's tonight?

Did you not get the flyer?

Adrian!

Oh, um...

Oh, she can have one too.

- Thank you. Thanks. - Sorry.

So, will you come?

Yeah. Yeah. Of course.

How 'bout you?

Um...

Can I see how I feel?

Certainly.

Dennis!

Dennis?

Don't fuck with me, Dennis.

There you are.

Okay. See ya.

Hello.

Why'd you take the watch?

You keep behaving like a child, he's gonna treat you like one.

I actually think you've got real potential.

I've said as much.

- Oh, really? - Mm-hmm. Yeah.

- But not when you're... - 'Cause you're right.

I've actually done something... pretty big.

Oh, yeah? What have you done?

I got a mortal into the underworld.

He failed the test. I forced the Fates to open the door.

He's gonna be the first human to bring someone back from the dead.

When that happens... I imagine I'll be shown some respect.

You're fuckin' kidding me, right?

- What? - You better pray that doesn't work out.

A mortal defies death and breaches the fabric of the universe?

If the mortal succeeds and brings someone out of the underworld,

Zeus will destroy you.

He'll try and destroy us all.

But it's okay. No, it's okay.

Your guy's not gonna make it, but don't feed your father's paranoia.

Give him his watch back. Tell him you found it somewhere. Anywhere.

That's the only thing that's gonna calm him down.

Okay.

Yeah. Uh... Uh...

I... I, uh...

I... can't.

Why not?

I gave it to, uh......someone.

So? It's not your virginity, is it?

Get it back.

Ugh.

We used to have fun.

Ah, this is Zeus.

Real busy.

Hello, Zeus.

Are you there?

Right, well...

It's me, uh, Hades, obviously.

Um, just wanted to let you know

that we have recruited an array of new divers.

They're all trained, and, uh...

very good.

Not yet.

Well, the underworld can deal with whatever comes its way,

so lay it on us...

if you want.

Goodbye.

Renewal!

Happy Renewal.

- It's about time. - Thanks.

What?

I just... I don't get it. Why are divers necessary?

We help people through the Frame.

We guide them.

Yeah, but why did they need more? They're just Renewing.

What's the rush?

Do you know why I stopped asking questions?

Because you got into trouble?

Because I never got any answers.

It's the underworld. It is what it is.

Count yourself lucky. I wish I could go through. I'm unresolved.

So, what do you do?

Just help 'em, I guess.

- Um, listen. - Hmm.

What a stand-up guy.

How old are you, anyway?

You look about 12.

I'm... Well, I'm technically almost 40.

If you count the death years.

Keep moving.

Hiya.

Oh no.

No, no, no. We were on the same ferry.

How are you doing?

I can't swim.

I dedicated my whole life to a good Renewal.

I lived to die, as they say,

vero, but now I'm thinking of all the things I didn't do.

It's okay.

But it's hard, isn't it? Giving yourself up.

This self.

Oh god, just go.

Sorry?

Just go through the Frame, please!

Do... Do you have any idea how lucky you are?

It's you. From the ferry.

You said you insulted the gods before you died.

Well, I suppose you're paying for it now.

- Hey, listen... - You pious piece of shit.

Shall we get you through the Frame?

What do we do?

I guess we swim, right?

Right.

- Ready? - Yeah.

Hey!

Hey!

- Hello! - Hello, there!

Hey!

Hey!

Over here!

Can you help us?

- Come on. - Hello!

- You came in the cave? - That's right.

- The two of you? - We were joint winners.

- We were gonna swim, but... - You don't want to do that.

Uh, could you, um... Could... Could you take us across?

- Please. Please! - Uh, please. Yeah.

Okay.

Put your clothes back on.

Make way!

- Make way for the champions! - Whoo! Yeah!

I want to get back up there! Let's do this!

Oh my god.

- Yes! - What?

Let's go!

No way.

No... way.

Hey, Caenis!

Ca-Ca-Ca-Caenis!

Hey!

Look at me, blasphemer.

- I'm not a blasphemer. - Yes, you are.

That's why you're here, unable to Renew.

Did... Did you...

Hmm?

Did you torture her?

Your ma?

No, she gave you up freely.

Very freely.

See you, Caenis.

♪ No, no, no ♪

♪ You don't love me, and I... ♪

Hey. I'm... lookin' for a watch.

No pets.

What?

Can't you read?

"No pets."

Oh, this isn't a pet.

This is the god of pleasure, madness, and wild frenzy, Dionysus.

Nice guy.

Get out.

- I'm sorry? - Mm-mm.

What did you say?

Yeah, louder?

Nope, I'm sorry. Can't understand you.

Oh, any of these? Okay, great. Thanks.

Oh, that's the one.

Oh, that's the one!

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Somebody better fess up. Who took it? Who's the klepto?

- Who's the klepto? - What the fuck?

It was one of you.

Who took my fuckin' watch?

- Uh, Dad! - What?

Found this.

By the gate.

Oops.

Why are you wearing a cat?

Well done.

You've got the eagle eye, I'll tell you that.

So, hey, what are you doing home, by the way? Hmm?

I just wanted to see you and have you meet Dennis.

Hello, Dennis.

Oh, hey, I know what you could call it instead of Dennis is "Oedipuss."

With two S's.

I don't get it.

Really? Okay. Uh...

- Dennis. You're Dennis. - Come on.

Uh, guys, clean up this mess, and bring us a jug of Meander water.

And also milk with a teat so that puss can suckle.

- Well done. - There you go.

- What? - The watch.

Hey. Where are you going? You look so fantastic. Where you headed?

Why? Do you want to come?

Oh. Who... Who is it?

The guy with, uh... who wears the dresses? I like that guy.

No, it's Perseus, and he might bring the horse.

- The horse? No, with the wings? Fuck me. - Mm-hmm.

Well, I'm hoping.

Really?

- We're busy now, but... - Busy?

- Well, your loss. - Well... Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, hello, sweet-sweet.

Oh, you're just a little baby, aren't you? Just a little baby.

Oh!

- That was spark. We made sparks. - Careful. Yeah.

Okay, come this way. Fire and brimstone await.

She gave you up freely.

Very freely.

It'll get livelier.

Oh!

- Hmm. - Hey.

Ah, you felt like it, did you?

I did. Is that, um, okay?

Yeah, sure. Sure. Take a seat.

May I?

Okay.

Mm.

- Still tastes of nothing. - Cheers!

Hmm. You want to try smoking. That's really pointless.

Shall we play a game?

Um, I'm really bad at games.

Oh, you'll be fine with this one, Adrian. It's just telling.

So, what were all our prophecies?

Okay. I'll go first. Mine was...

"A dark-haired creature, a winter fall."

"Eyes do not shut, not barely at all."

So mine is all completely true.

So, I had a dark brown pony, Cressida. Loved her like a sister.

She fell and broke her leg one December.

We had to kill her.

It was dreadful.

And I also had insomnia, so my eyes didn't shut.

Not really.

What was yours?

- Uh, no. - What do you mean, "No"?

I mean, no. I... It's private.

Oh, is it something to do with your mother?

I'll see you later.

Oh.

Uh...

I'm just gonna...

They're very sensitive, the young.

Hey.

Are you okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

Do you know where I can get one of those, uh,

cigarettes that you can't taste or feel?

Do you get many... like us?

A few.

Love makes people very stupid.

Oh. Oh.

- I'm sorry. - It's okay.

It's okay.

What was that?

The Scylla.

Wait.

Why are we stopping?

I can only take one of you across. That's the rule.

But you... you said you could take both of us.

Yeah, I lied.

Gotta get my kicks somewhere.

Well, go on, then, fight it out.

Wait.

- Fight? - No, no.

No, um, we, uh...

We made a pact.

Well, then.

We wait.

For what?

One of you to break it. I've got time.

Hmm?

Hmm?

Or I could take you back, both of you.

How 'bout that?

Because it's not worth it, you know?

- My son is worth everything. - Yeah. You say that.

Everyone says that.

But it's bullshit.

Let's say you get him back. Unlikely, but let's say you do.

You take him home, have a couple years, then he gets sick again.

Dies again.

What are you gonna do? Come back here?

Keep coming back like some kind of fucking carousel? Hmm?

Or let's say he lasts. He's healthy this time.

Who's to say he even likes you? What if he hates you?

What if he resents every fiber of your being? Hmm?

What happened to you?

- Listen, my wife and... - Oh yeah, your wife.

You think she could come back and live with you again? Hmm?

Love you again?

You sure about that?

Yes.

Prove it, then.

Kill him.

Or you kill him. Whatever.

Like I said, we made a pact. There must be some...

I'm sorry.

- But you said. It was your idea! - I know, but... it's you or me!

Look, I'm really sorry.

- That is, uh, very bland. - Yeah. Told you.

Why'd you do it?

Habit? I don't know. Yeah.

It's like Adrian said, "To feel normal."

And feel more real, more like you were. If you make the shapes you did.

- You want to feel like you were? - I do, yeah.

Mm. I don't.

- I didn't do anything in my life. - I'm sure that's not true.

Mm, it is. I just wasted it.

I didn't have a purpose.

And on the day that that really dawned on me, I died.

I'm sitting on the ferry, and I'm thinking, "Mm. Shit, I'm dead."

But gradually, this, um, calm came over me.

It was okay because I was going back to the world,

and now I can do everything better this time.

Hmm.

And now I'm stuck here.

Guess I'll just have to make peace with that, right?

Maybe.

Can I ask you something?

- I'm not telling you my prophecy. - I wasn't gonna ask that.

What, then?

How is it that you know an Amazon?

Uh, I was one.

Wow.

So I had to leave.

- Obviously. - Uh, yeah.

We studied you in school.

What age do they kick boys out? Like, 11?

Yeah. Yeah, uh...

I was 15.

I wasn't, like, officially a boy until a bit later.

That must have been hard.

To leave.

Yeah.

But, uh, you know, being murdered by them was a little bit harder.

Fuck! I'm... I'm sorry.

I'm just trying to raise your "my husband took my coin" stuff.

Oh, my "stuff"?

Mm. Yeah, I mean, my mom betrayed me,

my people murdered me, and then they took my coin.

- Come on. - Okay. Fuck you.

- I'm making the best of it, you know? - Yeah?

Yeah. Air quality's great.

I'm sleeping well.

I'm dating again.

- People actually do that? - What?

Date. Here.

Yeah. Yeah. I think so, sometimes.

Wow. Okay.

Mm-hmm.

Mm. What does kissing feel like?

What?

Well, like, is it like the beer?

- Sorry? - Like, is it, um...

Does it feel like nothing? Or is it like something...

Oh. Uh, yeah, uh... I don't know. I mean...

I haven't done it.

- Dead. Dead. Uh, yeah. - Sure.

- Uh, dead. - Yeah.

I, um... I just...

It's something for me to think about, the next 200 years or so.

You know, Prue likes you a lot.

Mm. Well, she's high on the list, so...

- Is she? Yeah. - Very high on the list.

Help me!

That's him.

- Help me! - That's who?

Please!

Please!

You took your wife's coin, and now you're trying to take my place! No!

No!

You'll know by the mark.

Just promise me.

This matters more than anything.

You fucker.

Why did you do that?!

Why... Why did you save me?

Where did you get that mark?

I...

Fate.

A Fate gave it to me.

Oh.

What does it mean?

It... It means something is true.

Mm.

This guy?

Seriously?

Natural disasters, they're good.

'Cause you can make 'em happen just like that.

And, to the mortals, it's a big, big shock that triggers a spike in worship.

Prayers and... and sacrifice.

Uh, 'cause they know that it's our doing.

But what do we need to make destruction really, really sing?

To make it last?

- Mm, nothing? - No.

- I thought you wanted a promotion. - Yeah, I do. I do.

Okay, here. Come... Come with me.

Okay. I want to teach you a thing or two about a thing or two.

And the fir...

The first thing I want to tell you is...

Thank you.

Thank... Thank me?

Thank you, Dionysus, because you found my watch.

And you brought it back to me, even though, when last we met,

I was hard on you.

- Aw, yeah, Dad, I... - Hey.

I'm having a bit of a moment here.

My father was, um, hard on me.

Have a seat.

But didn't your dad try and murder you?

Yeah. Yeah, he... he, uh...

Yeah, he did.

You know, he had his reasons, but, uh...

Anyway, you're a good boy, and I want to give you what you want.

What... What do I want?

More power.

Okay.

Cool.

Do I?

Yes. Yes, Dionysus. That's what a promotion is, more power.

And it also means loyalty. And that, you got.

I... I can see that.

Uh...

Look, Dad, I... I should just...

Uh, I need to tell you something.

Tell me what? What do you need to tell me?

- No. Uh, nothing. - You can tell me anything.

No, it's just that I'm loyal.

Yeah. Um...

Yes, so...

We are gonna bring these mooks to heel.

We're gonna start with natural disasters.

It's direct. It's simple.

And then we're gonna move on to something more interesting,

a little more elaborate, rococo, sophisticated, um, sowing enmity.

Hatred.

Hereafter to be known as phase two.

And it can start as something real, real small.

Like the rape of one woman, the death of one child.

Because if you get it right,

it can set families and countries and continents ablaze.

Okay. Um...

Cool.

Yeah, we... we... uh...

You know, some... some humans are...

What?

Nice.

Yeah, they're nice. They're... They're... They're good to be around.

And amongst.

Are they ever.

You know, some of the mothers of my favorite children are, uh...

are human.

But they don't matter.

What matters is our family.

By all means, you can play with humans, eat with them, make love to 'em,

plait their hair, do whatever you want,

but you must never forget you are not one of them.

'Kay?

Okay.

Okay, phase one. We're gonna start tonight.

You have one new message.

Hey, I got your message.

Actually, perfect timing

because a lot of bodies are gonna be coming your way.

Zeus?

Uh, no, sir. It's me.

Oh. Fine, go ahead.

We found the soul, sir.

We're already dead. How much worse can it get?

Hello?

Oh my god.

What's happened to her?

We just sent her through the Frame.

What is this place?
