00:01:05,641 --> 00:01:11,241

Poseidon's Daughter,

(CH EERING)

13
00:01:34,561 --> 00:01:37,001
She has not yet been
found? You assured me...

14
00:01:37,081 --> 00:01:38,961
We have many
men looking for her,

15
00:01:39,041 --> 00:01:40,361
it can only be a
matter of time...

16

As long as Pasiphae lives,
every enemy of Atlantis has hope.

17

- Is there no good news?
- I will not lie to you.

18
00:01:47,201 --> 00:01:49,241
We seek alliances
where we can...

19
00:01:49,321 --> 00:01:51,801
But no one wishes
to ally with the weak.

20
00:01:53,081 --> 00:01:54,441

are just a few days away...

Is this really the time
for such diversions?

23
00:02:00,601 --> 00:02:02,361
I'm afraid it is.

24
00:02:02,441 --> 00:02:06,321
You need to choose a champion to
represent Atlantis, as is our custom.

25
00:02:06,401 --> 00:02:09,041
Not to do so would make the people
think even their Queen despairs.

26
00:02:11,761 --> 00:02:13,241
Very well,

from the Royal Guard.

- No.

30
00:02:20,001 --> 00:02:22,417
He is the finest swordsman in
Atlantis. There can be no doubt of that.

31
00:02:22,441 --> 00:02:24,281
It would be inappropriate.

- HERCULES: You can't accept.
- How can I refuse?

37
00:02:38,441 --> 00:02:40,441
The request came
from the Queen herself.

38
00:02:40,521 --> 00:02:41,977
It doesn't make any
difference, jason.

39
00:02:42,001 --> 00:02:44,881
You can never be together, I
thought you understood that?

40

You've already risked
your life for her and...

41
00:02:47,881 --> 00:02:50,081
Yes, well, I'm not
doing it for Ariadne.

42
00:02:51,041 --> 00:02:54,001
- I'm doing it for the city.
- These are not ordinary games, Jason.

43
00:02:54,081 --> 00:02:56,841
They'll attract the finest
warriors in all of Greece.

44
00:02:56,921 --> 00:02:58,041
They'll do anything to win.

45
00:02:58,121 --> 00:03:00,601
Well, then It will be an honour
to compete in such company.

46

- Yes.

aren't you telling me?

promised to tell no one.

you kept a promise?

Well, then I think I
should know, don't you?

56
00:03:40,281 --> 00:03:42,001
I went to see The Oracle.

57
00:03:43,521 --> 00:03:44,721

58
00:03:46,641 --> 00:03:49,961

is Jason's mother.

has royal blood. If Ariadne knew...

truth, his heart will blacken

and he'll be lost to us forever.

him, Pythagoras, that's what she said.

At 18, I ran away from Aegina.

353
00:26:24,521 --> 00:26:26,361
Thought I could make
my own way in the world.

354
00:26:27,401 --> 00:26:29,081
Prove to my father I
didn't need his help.

355
00:26:29,921 --> 00:26:32,921
Fell in with some people I
thought were adventurers,

356
00:26:33,081 --> 00:26:34,761
turned out they
were more pirates.

357
00:26:34,841 --> 00:26:36,921
- They wouldn't brand a prince.
- That was my father.

358
00:26:37,681 --> 00:26:39,721
He insisted on no
special treatment.

359
00:26:40,521 --> 00:26:43,361
As much as I hated
him for it at the time,

360
00:26:43,441 --> 00:26:45,241
I have a reason
to be grateful since.

361
00:26:46,681 --> 00:26:48,001
This was the making of me.

362
00:26:48,081 --> 00:26:50,521

word for any of this.

364
00:26:57,521 --> 00:27:00,201
I fought in the amphitheatre
at Aegina a year ago,

365
00:27:00,921 --> 00:27:03,121
Prince Telemon was
at his father's side.

366
00:27:09,441 --> 00:27:10,961
No hard feelings.

367
00:27:13,681 --> 00:27:15,161
I know you act only out of love

368
00:27:15,241 --> 00:27:17,521

But why hide it?

374

Prison brand is not the kind of
thing you'd want everyone to see.

375
00:27:46,761 --> 00:27:47,801
It doesn't add up.

376
00:27:47,881 --> 00:27:51,321
It's not a triangle, Pythagoras,
it doesn't have to add up.

377
00:27:56,521 --> 00:27:57,841
Do you trust him?

378
00:28:00,801 --> 00:28:02,361
No. No, I don't.

379
00:28:02,841 --> 00:28:04,041
Finally.

380
00:28:04,121 --> 00:28:05,721
But I also know that
everyone else does.

381
00:28:05,801 --> 00:28:07,921
As far they're
concerned, he's a prince.

And we... We're just us.

00:28:15,721 --> 00:28:17,681

384
00:28:18,161 --> 00:28:19,681
I can see why.

385
00:28:20,401 --> 00:28:22,641
Atlantis truly is
a beautiful city.

386

asked if I was your only suitor.

Yes.

389

hopes are futile.

00:28:40,561 --> 00:28:41,561

It's what your silence said.

394
00:28:54,001 --> 00:28:55,641
There is someone.

395
00:28:58,401 --> 00:29:00,401
May I know the name of my rival?

396
00:29:01,761 --> 00:29:03,641
He is a man I can never marry.

397
00:29:05,361 --> 00:29:08,441
Sometimes the burden of
royal blood can be unbearable.

398
00:29:10,241 --> 00:29:12,361
But, given time, these
feelings may wane.

yourself to feel the same for another?

Who?

have to compete again.

He's a fine fighter. He
might have won anyway.

461

He couldn't be sure
though, could he?

that much to him

He's not here to
win the contest.

- He means to gain Ariadne's hand.
- All the same...

And he knows only one
man stands in his way.

468

Telemon had to be sure
to face him in the final.

So he can kill him.

- And Leonidas?
- Just because Telemon paid him off...

just wants to win, like we all do.

528
00:39:23,601 --> 00:39:25,321
It won't always be that way.

529
00:39:26,281 --> 00:39:28,081
(SPECTATORS APPLAUDING)

530
00:40:25,241 --> 00:40:26,881
How could I have been so stupid?

531
00:40:26,961 --> 00:40:29,841
- Keep still.
- We were all taken in.

532
00:40:29,921 --> 00:40:32,841
You weren't. You didn't
believe him from the start.

533
00:40:33,761 --> 00:40:36,001
I had my suspicions...

534
00:40:36,081 --> 00:40:39,521
You tried to warn
me, why didn't I listen?

535
00:40:39,601 --> 00:40:42,481
Because you always
think the best of people.

536
00:41:11,161 --> 00:41:12,761
Dion said you would be here.

537
00:41:14,001 --> 00:41:15,721
Can't have been
easy to lose like that.

538
00:41:17,041 --> 00:41:19,921
Jason's a fine fighter, there is
no shame in losing to such a man.

539
00:41:20,641 --> 00:41:21,801
I hope not.

540
00:41:24,121 --> 00:41:27,041
You promised me I would
have your answer today.

541
00:41:29,201 --> 00:41:30,201
Yes.

542
00:41:31,121 --> 00:41:33,081
And you shall
have it. You shall...

543
00:41:39,841 --> 00:41:41,401
Prince Telemon,

544
00:41:46,481 --> 00:41:48,881
I would be honoured
to accept your proposal.

545
00:42:12,441 --> 00:42:14,561
Are you sure you
can trust this man?

546
00:42:24,121 --> 00:42:25,561
Jason!
