344
00:26:19,161 --> 00:26:21,361
We owe you our lives.

345
00:26:21,481 --> 00:26:22,641
(HE WINCES)

346
00:26:23,841 --> 00:26:27,041
Your injury is grave.
You are not saved yet.

347
00:26:28,801 --> 00:26:34,521
ATALANTA: Agrotera
makaridze thea tadakesfora fiilla.

348
00:26:36,001 --> 00:26:38,961
Hoist tethelos een...

349
00:26:40,281 --> 00:26:43,121
meiiodes kiiparissos.

350
00:26:53,521 --> 00:26:58,121
Een elides kLi pa rissos.

351
00:26:59,521 --> 00:27:01,641
Why did you save us?

352
00:27:03,001 --> 00:27:04,521
My goddess came to me.

353
00:27:05,881 --> 00:27:07,721
She told me that I must
protect you from harm.

354
00:27:07,841 --> 00:27:09,841
Why?

355
00:27:11,041 --> 00:27:14,241
It seems that our paths are
destined to cross again in the future.

356
00:27:33,281 --> 00:27:35,641
What did you say to him?

357
00:27:36,881 --> 00:27:38,681
I told him that he must rest.

358
00:27:44,801 --> 00:27:46,881
You fear for your other friend?

359
00:27:49,241 --> 00:27:51,041
I did not see the
Scythians make a kill.

360
00:27:52,321 --> 00:27:54,321
There is a chance
that he survives.

361
00:27:59,081 --> 00:28:00,361
You're a gifted healer.

362
00:28:03,081 --> 00:28:04,601
I was abandoned as a child.

363
00:28:04,721 --> 00:28:06,921
I quickly learned
how to survive.

364
00:28:08,201 --> 00:28:09,961
How could a child
survive out here alone?

365
00:28:12,521 --> 00:28:13,721
I was never alone.

366
00:28:14,961 --> 00:28:18,561
My goddess, Artemis, was at
my side, guiding and protecting me.

367
00:28:20,121 --> 00:28:23,841
What you did forjason - it took
more than knowledge of the forest.

368
00:28:23,961 --> 00:28:26,561
- It was witchcraft.
- I'm a child of the earth.

369
00:28:27,681 --> 00:28:29,481
I use the gifts the
goddess gave me.

370
00:28:30,561 --> 00:28:33,281
Whatever the source of your
gifts, I am grateful for them.

371
00:28:36,481 --> 00:28:38,521
Why is it you travel
through these parts?

372
00:28:38,641 --> 00:28:42,641
It's for my friend Hercules, and
the woman he loves - Medusa.

373
00:28:43,921 --> 00:28:45,881
(HE GASPS AND PANTS)

374
00:28:48,881 --> 00:28:51,081
- (LOUD THUD)
- (MUD SQUELCHES)

375
00:28:51,201 --> 00:28:52,241
Oh...

376
00:29:01,641 --> 00:29:05,001
Medusa has been
cursed to live as a monster.

377
00:29:05,121 --> 00:29:08,881
Even if he doesn't have a cure,
Hercules will do anything to see her.

378
00:29:09,001 --> 00:29:10,441
It is a sad story.

379
00:29:13,241 --> 00:29:15,281
But it is not the
whole story, is it?

380
00:29:25,041 --> 00:29:26,481
There is a way to cure Medusa.

381
00:29:27,721 --> 00:29:29,921
If that is so, then why
would you not tell your friend?

382
00:29:32,401 --> 00:29:35,481
The carvings on the
box tell an ancient story -

383
00:29:35,601 --> 00:29:38,081
the tale of Alcestis
and Admetus.

384
00:29:38,201 --> 00:29:41,881
Alcestis was the wife of
King Admetus of Thessaly.

385
00:29:43,001 --> 00:29:46,041
When Admetus angered the
gods, he was cursed to die...

386
00:29:47,081 --> 00:29:50,201
unless someone he loved
volunteered to take his place.

387
00:29:51,241 --> 00:29:52,401
PYTHAGORAS: But no-one would.

388
00:29:53,361 --> 00:29:55,961
Alcestis couldn't bear
to see her husband die,

389
00:29:56,081 --> 00:29:58,881
so she sacrificed
herself for him.

390
00:30:00,441 --> 00:30:05,761
Hercules can cure Medusa, but
only if he gives his life for hers.

391
00:30:07,281 --> 00:30:08,641
You lied to protect him?

392
00:30:08,761 --> 00:30:12,961
If I tell Hercules what I know,
he will give his life in an instant.

393
00:30:14,881 --> 00:30:17,441
As much as I
hate to lie to him...

394
00:30:19,641 --> 00:30:21,961
I cannot see him die.

395
00:30:24,561 --> 00:30:28,041
- (LOUD FOOTSTEPS)
- Wait here.

396
00:30:47,601 --> 00:30:51,081
Hello. The name's Hercules...

397
00:30:53,961 --> 00:30:58,361
- Your friends are at the clearing.
- The... the clearing?

398
00:30:58,481 --> 00:31:01,241
Is that nearby? I... I...
I was completely lost.

399
00:31:16,081 --> 00:31:17,441
Hercules!

400
00:31:17,561 --> 00:31:19,641
I feared you were dead!

401
00:31:19,761 --> 00:31:23,241
Oh, it takes more than a
few Scythians to kill me.

402
00:31:24,681 --> 00:31:27,601
- What is that in your hair?
- That? Er...

403
00:31:27,721 --> 00:31:31,801
- It's bird poo.
- And what is that on your cheek?

404
00:31:31,921 --> 00:31:34,841
Some other kind of poo,
I think it might be jackal.

405
00:31:34,961 --> 00:31:37,841
You avoided the Scythians
by smearing yourself in poo?

406
00:31:37,961 --> 00:31:41,881
Could we stop talking
about poo?! Is he hurt?

407
00:31:42,001 --> 00:31:45,481
He was, but he'll be
fine, thanks to Atalanta.

408
00:31:50,201 --> 00:31:52,721
- It's good to see you.
- (THEY LAUGH)

409
00:31:52,841 --> 00:31:56,601
Although it is not good to smell
you! (PYTHAGORAS LAUGHS)

410
00:31:56,721 --> 00:32:00,521
OK. You can let go
now. All right, yeah.

411
00:32:02,561 --> 00:32:05,121
I'm sorry I haven't
found a cure for Medusa.

412
00:32:06,161 --> 00:32:08,721
I hope you're not angry with me.

413
00:32:08,841 --> 00:32:11,521
When am I ever angry with you?

414
00:32:11,641 --> 00:32:14,681
- Very frequently.
- Ridiculous. When?

415
00:32:14,801 --> 00:32:19,081
Name... name one time when I
have ever raised my voice in anger.

416
00:32:19,201 --> 00:32:22,217
When you're drunk and when you're hungry,
both of which you are most of the time.

417
00:32:22,241 --> 00:32:24,401
That's not anger.
That's affection.

418
00:32:24,521 --> 00:32:28,721
Well, what about the time when I
refused to lend you the money for that hog?

419
00:32:28,841 --> 00:32:31,481
You became so angry
that you set fire to my bed.

420
00:32:31,601 --> 00:32:35,121
What sort of a person refuses to
lend his friends money? Shame on you.

421
00:32:35,241 --> 00:32:38,161
Or when I accidentally
punctured a hole in your wine skin?

422
00:32:38,281 --> 00:32:41,521
Which I accepted with
understanding and good grace.

423
00:32:41,641 --> 00:32:43,321
You dangled me
headfirst from the balcony!

424
00:32:43,441 --> 00:32:45,401
(SNIGGERS) Did 1?

425
00:32:45,521 --> 00:32:48,561
If I was truly angry, I'd have dropped
you headfirst from the balcony.

426
00:32:48,681 --> 00:32:51,721
- You're fortunate I'm so even-tempered.
- Anyway...

427
00:32:54,921 --> 00:32:57,001
I'm sorry about Medusa.

428
00:32:58,161 --> 00:33:00,641
You have nothing
to be sorry for.

429
00:33:02,761 --> 00:33:06,761
Whatever you do, even when
I'm too pig-headed to see it,

430
00:33:06,881 --> 00:33:09,601
I know you've always got
my best interests at heart.

431
00:33:09,721 --> 00:33:12,121
You're a good friend
to me, Pythagoras.

432
00:33:14,481 --> 00:33:16,081
Better than you deserve.

433
00:33:16,201 --> 00:33:20,881
No... - Probably.
- (LAUGHS)

434
00:33:26,041 --> 00:33:27,441
We should get some sleep.

435
00:33:36,841 --> 00:33:38,001
What is it?

436
00:33:39,241 --> 00:33:41,041
It's nothing.

437
00:33:41,161 --> 00:33:43,201
Go to sleep.

438
00:33:49,801 --> 00:33:51,521
(SIGHS)

439
00:34:00,681 --> 00:34:02,521
(DOVES coo)

440
00:34:08,721 --> 00:34:11,601
- Hercules?!
- Oh, you're awake.

441
00:34:11,721 --> 00:34:14,081
You're alive. And eating?

442
00:34:15,881 --> 00:34:17,761
Where's Atalanta?

443
00:34:17,881 --> 00:34:20,441
When we woke, she'd gone.

444
00:34:20,561 --> 00:34:23,001
She left some pigeons
roasting on the fire.

445
00:34:23,121 --> 00:34:24,121
Quite a woman!

446
00:34:26,721 --> 00:34:27,721
I was just thinking,

447
00:34:27,841 --> 00:34:30,921
maybe I should continue on
to the shores of Cisthene alone.

448
00:34:31,041 --> 00:34:34,401
You should head back to
Atlantis, make sure Jason's wound's

449
00:34:34,521 --> 00:34:36,401
- properly seen to.
- Well...

450
00:34:36,521 --> 00:34:37,921
My wound's healed.

451
00:34:39,201 --> 00:34:41,001
We didn't come all this
way to turn back now.

452
00:34:42,081 --> 00:34:44,521
We journey to the shores
of Cisthene together.

453
00:34:46,881 --> 00:34:48,201
Excellent.

454
00:34:54,881 --> 00:34:55,881
What is it?

455
00:34:58,241 --> 00:35:00,841
Atalanta said our paths
would cross in the future.

456
00:35:02,201 --> 00:35:04,121
Let us hope that is true.

457
00:35:17,521 --> 00:35:21,401
HERCULES: Crios said the stories
spoke of Medusa being in a cave.

458
00:35:26,161 --> 00:35:27,641
PYTHAGORAS: There
are dozens of them.

459
00:35:27,721 --> 00:35:30,681
HERCULES: Then we must
search them all until we find her.

460
00:35:54,881 --> 00:35:56,721
I thought you'd be
more excited to see her.

461
00:35:58,041 --> 00:35:59,441
Hmm?

462
00:35:59,561 --> 00:36:01,401
I thought you'd be more excited.

463
00:36:01,521 --> 00:36:03,401
- To see Medusa?
- Oh, I am, yes.

464
00:36:03,521 --> 00:36:06,081
No, I was just thinking about
everything that's happened

465
00:36:06,201 --> 00:36:10,041
since you arrived in Atlantis.
All the trouble you've got us into.

466
00:36:10,161 --> 00:36:11,361
I'm sorry.

467
00:36:11,481 --> 00:36:15,481
I wouldn't have changed it
for the world... Well, some of it.

468
00:36:15,601 --> 00:36:20,441
I, er... I just wanted
you to know... What?

469
00:36:21,561 --> 00:36:23,041
PYTHAGORAS: Over here!

470
00:36:27,961 --> 00:36:29,161
Look.

471
00:36:30,481 --> 00:36:32,041
They've been turned to stone.

472
00:36:32,161 --> 00:36:34,241
- JASON: Medusa.
- PYTHAGORAS: She's waiting for you.

473
00:36:42,001 --> 00:36:43,961
Perhaps we could
have a moment alone?

474
00:36:45,601 --> 00:36:46,601
Of course.

475
00:36:49,721 --> 00:36:51,001
Just don't look at her.

476
00:36:52,201 --> 00:36:54,041
I won't.

477
00:36:57,881 --> 00:36:59,481
I won't forget what
you've done for me.

478
00:37:13,561 --> 00:37:14,601
Medusa?

479
00:37:21,641 --> 00:37:22,641
Medusa?

480
00:37:22,681 --> 00:37:24,521
MEDUSA: You shouldn't have come.

481
00:37:26,241 --> 00:37:28,161
I had to!

482
00:37:28,281 --> 00:37:31,401
Even though I cannot look at you,
just to hear your voice is enough.

483
00:37:34,001 --> 00:37:36,841
(HISSING)

484
00:37:36,961 --> 00:37:38,921
(SHE GASPS SOFTLY)

485
00:37:40,281 --> 00:37:41,761
MEDUSA: It is so
good to see you.

486
00:37:41,881 --> 00:37:44,481
There isn't a day when
I don't think of you.

487
00:37:44,601 --> 00:37:46,081
I wish more than anything...

488
00:37:47,761 --> 00:37:49,121
to hold you in my arms.

489
00:37:50,521 --> 00:37:52,281
MEDUSA: We both
know that isn't possible.

490
00:37:52,401 --> 00:37:54,201
It never will be.

491
00:37:54,321 --> 00:37:57,241
- You should not lose hope.
- (HISSING CONTINUES)

492
00:37:57,361 --> 00:38:00,201
MEDUSA: How can I have hope when
even the rats don't dare come near me?

493
00:38:02,601 --> 00:38:05,041
PYTHAGORAS: Seeing
Medusa as she is...

494
00:38:06,081 --> 00:38:09,001
I worry it will only
make Hercules sadder.

495
00:38:09,121 --> 00:38:12,401
Well, maybe, until we find a cure,
it's better than not seeing her at all.

496
00:38:16,881 --> 00:38:19,041
What if I were to tell
you I have found a cure?

497
00:38:21,001 --> 00:38:22,361
Why wouldn't you say anything?

498
00:38:22,481 --> 00:38:26,921
Because it requires Hercules
to sacrifice his life for Medusa's.

499
00:38:29,161 --> 00:38:31,241
I couldn't bear to tell him.

500
00:38:32,521 --> 00:38:34,001
I can't see him die.

501
00:38:42,481 --> 00:38:43,521
He knows.

502
00:38:44,641 --> 00:38:45,641
He can't.

503
00:38:46,961 --> 00:38:48,457
- Why would you think that?
- When he thanked us

504
00:38:48,481 --> 00:38:49,921
for all that we'd
done for him...

505
00:38:51,161 --> 00:38:52,841
he was saying goodbye.

506
00:38:55,041 --> 00:38:57,401
Seeing the life you're
condemned to lead...

507
00:38:58,721 --> 00:38:59,721
alone...

508
00:39:00,841 --> 00:39:02,081
in this cave.

509
00:39:04,241 --> 00:39:06,001
This is all my doing.

510
00:39:06,121 --> 00:39:08,041
MEDUSA: I don't want
you to blame yourself.

511
00:39:09,441 --> 00:39:11,201
It seems this was my fate.

512
00:39:14,481 --> 00:39:15,881

514
00:39:21,481 --> 00:39:22,481
And I have.

515
00:39:25,081 --> 00:39:27,281
There's a cure? (SHE HISSES)

516
00:39:27,401 --> 00:39:28,641
H Ow?

517
00:39:28,761 --> 00:39:31,841
Swear to me you will
do exactly as I ask.

518
00:39:34,201 --> 00:39:36,001
- Promise me.
- Anything.

519
00:39:38,841 --> 00:39:40,881
No! You'll be turned to stone!

520
00:39:41,001 --> 00:39:42,521
Trust me.

521
00:39:42,641 --> 00:39:44,521
If you love me, you'll do this.

522
00:39:44,641 --> 00:39:46,561
- I love you with all my heart!
- Then look at me

523
00:39:46,641 --> 00:39:48,441
and you'll be cured.

524
00:39:48,561 --> 00:39:51,281
- What will happen to you?
- Nothing. Don't worry about me.

525
00:39:51,401 --> 00:39:54,321
Just know that I love you.

526
00:39:55,641 --> 00:39:56,721
Look at me.

530

How is it possible
for you to look at me?

531
00:40:10,481 --> 00:40:12,961
- I don't know.
- Let me go. Let me look at her.

He was going to give his life
so that you would be cured.

533
00:40:16,641 --> 00:40:18,041
No.

534
00:40:18,161 --> 00:40:19,481
Let me do this for her!

535
00:40:20,521 --> 00:40:24,521
You think I could live with myself,
knowing you had given your life for mine?

536
00:40:24,641 --> 00:40:27,241
You have to. It's
your only hope.

537
00:40:27,361 --> 00:40:29,521
I would do
anything for a cure...

538
00:40:31,441 --> 00:40:33,681
Anything but this.

539
00:40:34,881 --> 00:40:37,081
Knowing we could
never be together...

540
00:40:38,961 --> 00:40:41,001
I would rather stay cursed.

Has anyone been
turned to stone yet?

I'm sorry I lied to you.

545

You were right.

546
00:41:06,201 --> 00:41:08,161
I don't deserve
such a good friend.

547
00:41:10,361 --> 00:41:12,041
But I am grateful.

548
00:41:14,161 --> 00:41:15,161
Let's go home.

549
00:41:21,481 --> 00:41:24,201
I won't stop searching
until I find another cure.

550

We will return as soon
as we find one. I promise.

551
00:41:29,521 --> 00:41:33,161
I know you will, and that
gives me a reason to live.
