0:00:06 > 0:00:09As Poseidon is our witness...
0:00:16 > 0:00:18..may our word be our bond.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22APPLAUSE
0:00:32 > 0:00:34All of Atlantis is pleased for us.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37So it seems.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41And I feel sure the gods will bless our union, too.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Such certainty, Heptarian.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49You'll see.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53They'll give us a sign and then you will believe, too.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Friends, citizens of Atlantis,
0:00:59 > 0:01:03nothing could please us more than the announcement today
0:01:03 > 0:01:06of the betrothal of our daughter to Poseidon's servant, Heptarian.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09APPLAUSE
0:01:12 > 0:01:15And as is the custom of our great city, a pankration will be held,
0:01:15 > 0:01:19the like of which we have never seen.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32You did well today.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37The gods smiled on you, as they will when you win the pankration.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Yes.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45She will come round. You think so?
0:01:45 > 0:01:49It doesn't matter if she doesn't. Ariadne's alone.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52No friends, no allies.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Where will she find the strength to defy the will of her father?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33What are they celebrating?
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Minos has announced a pankration.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37A what?
0:02:37 > 0:02:38It's not important.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Not important?!
0:02:40 > 0:02:45The one occasion when food and wine flow free. That's FREE, Pythagoras!
0:02:45 > 0:02:47What could be more important?
0:02:47 > 0:02:48Your friend?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Ah, yes, well. No, you wouldn't be interested.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54It's just a silly contest.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Two unarmed opponents, a knife in the sand,
0:02:58 > 0:03:01the first to draw blood wins.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04No rules. It's something to see, believe me.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06It's barbaric.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07And free pies.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Why wouldn't I be interested?
0:03:12 > 0:03:13Pythagoras?
0:03:15 > 0:03:19This pankration is to celebrate Ariadne and Heptarian's betrothal.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24I see. Of course.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31It was never really going to happen, was it, Jason?
0:03:31 > 0:03:34I mean, Ariadne's a goddess on Earth, whereas you,
0:03:34 > 0:03:36well, you're just you.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Well done.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49What?
0:03:49 > 0:03:50What?!
0:03:57 > 0:04:01I'm sorry. I should have told you.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Perfect.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Tell your mistress to destroy it the moment she's read it.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Who gave you this? Medusa.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17And no-one else knows?
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Jason wants to meet me.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Ariadne, is everything all right?
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Yes. Yes, thank you.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35The pankration begins tomorrow. You are expected at your father's side.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Of course.
0:05:38 > 0:05:39Good.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Oh, and if I could have what you have
0:05:43 > 0:05:45so carefully hidden in your hand?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Your highness?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Guard! Where did you get this?
0:06:02 > 0:06:05No matter, we can have that discussion later.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Take her away.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Please!
0:06:08 > 0:06:11You really think this can go unpunished?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13What will you do to her?
0:06:13 > 0:06:16A servant who betrays our trust must suffer the consequences,
0:06:16 > 0:06:18no matter who her mistress is.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24Ariadne, why must we always fight over this?
0:06:24 > 0:06:27You are betrothed to Heptarian. Do you think this is appropriate?
0:06:27 > 0:06:29What if the people knew of it?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Where would your reputation be then?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34This must end. Do you understand?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38And Korinna?
0:06:39 > 0:06:42I have no desire to punish the innocent.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Remove this boy from your life once and for all
0:06:44 > 0:06:47and Korinna may return.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50That's fair, isn't it?
0:06:52 > 0:06:56You see, we don't have to be enemies.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19Were you followed? No.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25You must be quick.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28If you should be found here it would be death for both of us...
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Thank you. I won't forget this.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Why did you ask to see me, Jason?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43I...
0:07:45 > 0:07:48I heard about your betrothal to Heptarian.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51The whole city knows now.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53I couldn't quite believe it at first.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59We've not known each other that long.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00Hardly any time at all.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03And yet...
0:08:04 > 0:08:06the thing is...
0:08:08 > 0:08:11I don't think I've ever met anyone like you before.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15No other princesses of Atlantis?
0:08:15 > 0:08:17No-one as wonderful...
0:08:19 > 0:08:20..no-one as beautiful as you.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Please, don't.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28And I think, maybe, just maybe,
0:08:28 > 0:08:31you have feelings for me, too.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Don't go ahead with this marriage, Ariadne. Please, I'm begging you.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39It cannot be.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42It cannot.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45Why not?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Because...
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Because you are you and I am me,
0:08:51 > 0:08:56a princess of Atlantis, betrothed to another.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Yes. But...
0:08:57 > 0:09:02I have a duty to my people, a duty to Poseidon himself.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05To marry someone that you don't love?
0:09:05 > 0:09:07What sort of duty is that?
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Why come here? Why agree to meet me?
0:09:14 > 0:09:18So that you could understand that we must bow to our fates,
0:09:18 > 0:09:20whatever the cost.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23I don't believe that. There must be something...
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Be content with this.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29If the choice had been mine alone,
0:09:29 > 0:09:32I would not leave you for one moment.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37Now you must go.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Ariadne... If you truly love me, please don't make this any harder.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Here. Don't forget me.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03I need no token to remember you.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Still...
0:10:29 > 0:10:31SHE SOBS
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Ariadne, I see you've done the right thing.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43I know how hard this must have been for you, Ariadne.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47And Korinna?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49I shall see she is released.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Oh, no. Come. Come here.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59It will get better.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02It will.
0:11:04 > 0:11:09KNOCKING
0:11:24 > 0:11:25I saw Ariadne.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Jason!
0:11:27 > 0:11:29You were right. She is promised to Heptarian.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33Well, perhaps it's for the best.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36At least now you know you can accept it, move on,
0:11:36 > 0:11:40and get on with the rest of your life.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42It's not over...not yet.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53I swear solemnly before Poseidon, the guardian of the oaths,
0:11:53 > 0:11:56to fight fairly and to the end.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Poseidon hears your promise and wishes you good fortune.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24I swear solemnly before Poseidon, the guardian of the oaths,
0:12:24 > 0:12:26to fight fairly and to the end.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Poseidon hears your promise and wishes you good fortune.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42Of course, we would've stopped you!
0:12:42 > 0:12:44People die in the pankration, Jason.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45They don't just die.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48They get bits sliced off them and then they die.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51This won't win Ariadne back. She's told you, it's over.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52Was it ever really on?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54I'm not doing this for Ariadne.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57You're always saying that we need to earn more money,
0:12:57 > 0:12:58and this is a way to win some.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59That is true.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Jason, Heptarian has been fighting in the pankration
0:13:02 > 0:13:05since he was a boy and he's never lost...ever.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07I'm doing it and it doesn't matter what you think.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09You don't stand a chance.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12The pankration isn't like other contests.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14It takes months of practice.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Then we'd better get started.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23So I just need to get to the knife first?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25That is all.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33That's not fair!
0:13:33 > 0:13:35We told you, there are no rules. Try again.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39Watch out, behind you!
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Oh, yes! Like taking milk from a baby.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45That's cheating!
0:13:45 > 0:13:47We told you... No rules. I get it.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48Again.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12I suppose he is improving.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Marginally.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Your highness.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37You have what I asked for?
0:14:37 > 0:14:38Indeed.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40No taste, no odour, as described.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42And the effects are not sudden?
0:14:42 > 0:14:45So gradual they may at first not even be noticed -
0:14:45 > 0:14:49the occasional headache, some pain, no more.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53After several months, the hair may loosen, the scalp itch,
0:14:53 > 0:14:56the mind become confused -
0:14:56 > 0:15:00all brought mercifully to an end by a sleep from which no-one can wake.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12I would hope your highness will remember this service to her.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17On the contrary, Dymas, I shall do everything I can to forget
0:15:17 > 0:15:19we ever met.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23And if you value your life, I suggest you do the same.
0:15:23 > 0:15:24Do you understand?
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Your highness.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47What are you doing?!
0:15:47 > 0:15:49You have to talk to each other some time.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Did she wave back?
0:15:52 > 0:15:54No.
0:15:54 > 0:15:55Try again.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57She's gone now.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59She's never going to speak to me again.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01You could try just going up to her.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04You have no idea how the human heart works, do you?
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Actually, I'm very interested in anatomy.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09HORN BLOWS
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Please the gods, he doesn't get Harmon in the first round.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Or Heptarian.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09You have each chosen your lot, now may the gods choose your fate.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14APPLAUSE
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Cheat! Hercules!
0:18:28 > 0:18:30He didn't hear me.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54Yes!
0:18:54 > 0:18:56I taught him that.
0:18:56 > 0:18:57Actually, that was me.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Don't get close too early!
0:19:13 > 0:19:15CHEERING
0:19:26 > 0:19:27He was lucky. Lucky?!
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Jason's fast but he can't afford to just rely on that.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32He needs to think before he moves.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36Jason!
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Can you move it?
0:19:41 > 0:19:43The poultice should help.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Medusa.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Hercules.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53May I come in?
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Yes, yes, of course.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57I have the ingredients you asked for. Hercules!
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Sorry, sorry...
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Thank you.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04The herbs will ease the pain
0:20:04 > 0:20:08and the poultice should bring down the swelling.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10That won't work.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12And suddenly you're an expert on the healing arts?
0:20:12 > 0:20:15I've seen this before, in the wrestling ring.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16The shoulder is separated.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18It just needs putting back.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23I'll show you. Don't worry. This won't hurt.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32I thought you said it wouldn't hurt!
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Would you have let me do it if I told you it did? Try it now.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Where did you learn to do that?!
0:20:40 > 0:20:41You pick things up.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44He'll still need the tonic. You have the ginger?
0:20:44 > 0:20:45And the mint.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48They need chopping and the coriander grinding.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50I'll get the pestle.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Medusa, does this mean you're speaking to me again now?
0:20:57 > 0:21:00No. Right, fine. Just checking.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05The boy's a fool for entering.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08But for all that, I am grateful. I shall take great pleasure
0:21:08 > 0:21:10in destroying him in front of all of Atlantis.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Just make sure you do so cleanly - the crowd must not turn against you.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Today was unnecessary. It's the pankration.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18If you are to become king, Heptarian,
0:21:18 > 0:21:20you must be seen to behave like...
0:21:21 > 0:21:22Ariadne!
0:21:22 > 0:21:26Congratulations, my lord. It seems the gods really do smile upon you.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29I hope so. You'll be attending tomorrow?
0:21:30 > 0:21:32I wouldn't miss it for the world.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35I shall be thinking of you as I compete.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39If you'll excuse me, I'm feeling rather tired.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Of course. Good night, Ariadne.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43My lord. Good night.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Did I not tell you she would come round?
0:21:49 > 0:21:52I'll feel a lot happier with Jason gone.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Forget Jason. When you are king, you can do with him as you feel fit.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Until then, concentrate on the task in hand.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Of course. And how is Minos?
0:22:05 > 0:22:08The king's health is already not what it was.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11But I shall nurse him to the end -
0:22:13 > 0:22:16you can be sure of that.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34You work too hard, my lord.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36There are some affairs of state that only the king can determine -
0:22:36 > 0:22:39too many, it sometimes feels.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44But as long as you are by my side, the burden seems a lighter one.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47I've brought you some refreshment.
0:22:47 > 0:22:48You're very kind.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56The people are enjoying the pankration, do you not think?
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Undoubtedly.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Even Ariadne seems interested.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04If you'd rather I got you something else, my lord...?
0:23:04 > 0:23:08No, no, this is most welcome. Thank you.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35How is he?
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Still feverish - but at least he's sleeping.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Maybe he shouldn't fight tomorrow.
0:23:43 > 0:23:44He'd never agree to that.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46But if he's injured...
0:23:46 > 0:23:50Jason would rather lose the fight than lose face by pulling out.
0:23:50 > 0:23:51Why?
0:23:51 > 0:23:55He thinks he's fighting for Ariadne's hand.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58But he must know that's hopeless.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03When you're in love there's no such thing as hopeless.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10You should get some sleep. I can take over.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12I shouldn't leave him. Don't you trust me?
0:24:12 > 0:24:14I didn't mean that.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15I know.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Then I shall keep you company - if that's all right with you?
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Why are you doing this, Hercules?
0:24:34 > 0:24:36He mustn't get cold. I didn't mean that.
0:24:39 > 0:24:45When I was Jason's age, I thought I was the fastest, strongest,
0:24:45 > 0:24:48most agile man in all Atlantis.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51No-one on the field or in the arena could challenge me.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56I know what you're thinking - "What happened?"
0:24:57 > 0:24:58No... No.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03You know the truth?
0:25:03 > 0:25:05I never was that man.
0:25:08 > 0:25:13It was all made up, just a story I told myself
0:25:13 > 0:25:14and anyone else who'd listen.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23But Jason's the real thing. He's special, Medusa.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26And it's my job to make sure he stays that way.
0:25:26 > 0:25:27Whatever it takes.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34But if you ever tell him that, obviously I'll have to kill you.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44THEY GROAN
0:25:44 > 0:25:45Ahhh!
0:25:52 > 0:25:54HE STRAINS
0:26:00 > 0:26:02CROWD GASPS
0:26:19 > 0:26:21APPLAUSE
0:26:33 > 0:26:35CROWD GASPS
0:26:41 > 0:26:43THEY GRUNT AND GROAN
0:26:48 > 0:26:49CHEERING
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Ahhhh!
0:26:57 > 0:26:59CROWD CHEERS
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Yes!
0:27:03 > 0:27:05CROWD GASPS
0:27:13 > 0:27:14Oh, yes!
0:27:23 > 0:27:25You did well. The crowd loves you.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Does that hurt?
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Everything hurts.
0:27:44 > 0:27:45You can't go on like this.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Ariadne!
0:27:47 > 0:27:50It's madness to fight again.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52I'm fine. You could die!
0:27:58 > 0:28:00I will not think any worse of you if you pull out.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06I made a promise, a sacred oath to Poseidon.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Please...
0:28:11 > 0:28:12I won't change my mind.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17May the gods be with you.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32CHEERING
0:28:41 > 0:28:43GASPS AND GROANS
0:28:43 > 0:28:45CROWD GASPS
0:28:45 > 0:28:46Ahhh!
0:28:55 > 0:28:57Oh!
0:28:57 > 0:28:59KNIFE SLASHES, HE GASPS
0:28:59 > 0:29:01CROWD BOOS Shame!
0:29:01 > 0:29:04BOOING CONTINUES
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Harmon's an old hand.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17He knows if he can knock you down, he'll keep you down.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19Stay back, tire him out.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22Then when you see an opening - in. Understand?
0:29:22 > 0:29:23Good man. You'll be fine.
0:29:23 > 0:29:24Ah!
0:29:49 > 0:29:50CROWD GASPS
0:29:56 > 0:29:57Ah!
0:29:59 > 0:30:02GRUNTING
0:30:06 > 0:30:08JASON GROANS
0:30:15 > 0:30:17Oh, yes! Yes, yes.
0:30:22 > 0:30:23Oh, yes.
0:30:39 > 0:30:40Yes!
0:30:43 > 0:30:44Yes!
0:31:05 > 0:31:06Citizens of Atlantis,
0:31:08 > 0:31:12as is our custom, the final round shall commence tomorrow, at dawn.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17The victor is to take the prize, the loser...
0:31:17 > 0:31:20to make his peace with the gods.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26I've been watching Heptarian and he uses the same trick each time -
0:31:26 > 0:31:27he distracts, then makes his move.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30If I can avoid falling into that trap...
0:31:30 > 0:31:32Jason. Jason! You can't win.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35No, I think I can. It's just a case of exploiting his weak spot and...
0:31:35 > 0:31:40You cannot win because Heptarian cannot lose.
0:31:40 > 0:31:45He's Poseidon's servant, betrothed to the king's daughter.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49You must let him be victorious.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52But I swore an oath to Poseidon that I'd...
0:31:52 > 0:31:55If you won, do you really think the king would give you Ariadne's hand?
0:31:55 > 0:31:59That you'd live happily ever after in the bosom of Minos's family?
0:31:59 > 0:32:02You'd be dead by sundown. We all would.
0:32:02 > 0:32:07I'm sorry. There's no choice - you have to lose.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20For whom were you praying?
0:32:20 > 0:32:23No-one in particular...
0:32:26 > 0:32:30Jason. I fear for him tomorrow.
0:32:33 > 0:32:34Will the gods favour him?
0:32:36 > 0:32:38I am not the Oracle...
0:32:39 > 0:32:42..but he has greater strengths than you can imagine.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Will you pray for him, too, Melas?
0:32:46 > 0:32:48I already have, my lady.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02He really does care, doesn't he?
0:33:02 > 0:33:03Yes.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07He's ready.
0:33:10 > 0:33:11Jason...
0:33:11 > 0:33:13I don't want to know.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16I was just going to say, good luck.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Anyone you'd like to say goodbye to?
0:33:59 > 0:34:00Just you.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11JASON GROANS
0:34:11 > 0:34:12CROWD GASPS
0:34:12 > 0:34:14Nice, but sadly not enough.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Get in there, go for the legs!
0:34:46 > 0:34:47Goodbye, Jason.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Yes, yes!
0:34:54 > 0:34:56CROWD CHEERS
0:35:02 > 0:35:04APPLAUSE
0:35:36 > 0:35:39Kill me and they'll hate you forever.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43CROWD BOOS
0:36:11 > 0:36:14You're lucky, Jason.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17But luck doesn't last forever.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34You did the right thing.
0:36:34 > 0:36:35And what have I got to show for it?
0:36:35 > 0:36:37True. We're still broke.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40Be grateful. You're still here.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43If you'd won, I very much doubt that would be the case.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45Why? Why should it be?
0:36:45 > 0:36:48Because those are the rules. You said there are no rules.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51The rules of life, Jason, not the pankration.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53SHE CLEARS HER THROAT
0:36:54 > 0:36:56I... I came to see how Jason is.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01His shoulder's on the mend but there's still a lot of work
0:37:01 > 0:37:05to do on his neck and I'm worried about his left hand...
0:37:05 > 0:37:06Hercules!
0:37:11 > 0:37:14We've just got to go and, erm, get some...bees.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17Bees?! Why bees? It was all I could think of!
0:37:25 > 0:37:29I saw you in the arena, and that's why I...
0:37:29 > 0:37:31I... I know... Thank you.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Ariadne...
0:37:35 > 0:37:36Please, don't.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42I came here to give you this.
0:37:44 > 0:37:45I see.
0:37:45 > 0:37:50I cannot keep it...as much as I long to, more than anything.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59Why didn't you kill Heptarian when you had the chance?
0:38:01 > 0:38:03It would only have made things worse.
0:38:04 > 0:38:05Thank you.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10For what? I've done nothing.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13Achieved nothing.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15You've given me strength.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17I don't understand...
0:38:36 > 0:38:37Father?
0:38:38 > 0:38:39Ariadne.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42Father, I need to talk to you.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44What is it you wish to say, my child?
0:38:46 > 0:38:49Heptarian, I am sorry, but I cannot marry you.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52What is the meaning of this?
0:38:52 > 0:38:55The gods made their will clear today.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58This engysis is not blessed.
0:38:58 > 0:38:59We would be foolish to continue with it.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01Ariadne!
0:39:01 > 0:39:05Let her speak. You must have felt it, too, Heptarian?
0:39:05 > 0:39:09You were the man with years of experience, the superior fighter.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11And yet here comes some unknown boy...
0:39:11 > 0:39:15Only the gods could be responsible for the outcome.
0:39:18 > 0:39:19We had an understanding.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21And now the gods have put us right.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30This is what you sincerely believe?
0:39:33 > 0:39:34It is.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39Then we must bow to a wisdom greater than ours.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42The engysis must be dissolved. But, my lord... Can I...?
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Only a fool would fail to listen to the gods.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Come, come, let us find the priest and put this right.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54My lord, if we could discuss this further...
0:39:59 > 0:40:02You foolish, foolish girl!
0:40:03 > 0:40:05Do you really think you can defy me?
0:40:05 > 0:40:08I'm not afraid of you any more.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12I'm not afraid of anyone ` today has taught me that.
0:40:18 > 0:40:22Then you are more stupid than you can possibly imagine.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35The next year, the other competitors were so scared,
0:40:35 > 0:40:36they refused to fight me.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38They couldn't find a single challenger.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Hercules, that is simply not true.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42I swear on my mother's life.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45Hold on. I thought you said you didn't know your mother? I knew of her.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49Have you ever actually taken part in a pankration?
0:40:49 > 0:40:51Absolutely... Not just watched it?
0:40:51 > 0:40:53And eaten the free pies? Or drunk the free wine?
0:40:53 > 0:40:56Slept if off under the benches? Of course he has.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00I have heard it many times - Hercules was the fastest,
0:41:00 > 0:41:03strongest, most agile man in the whole city.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06He was the envy of all the contestants. Everyone knows that.
0:41:06 > 0:41:07Really?
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Yes, really. You're lucky to have him as a friend.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16So am I. I don't deserve you, Medusa.
0:41:16 > 0:41:17Life's not fair, is it?
0:41:50 > 0:41:55There's nothing you can do, Ariadne. Nothing anyone can do.
0:41:58 > 0:41:59I don't understand.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03They say the poor girl took her own life.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10When? Why?!
0:42:10 > 0:42:12It seems even though the king pardoned her,
0:42:12 > 0:42:16she felt the shame too deeply.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25She wouldn't have done that,
0:42:25 > 0:42:27she wouldn't!
0:42:27 > 0:42:28I'm sorry.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33I know you two were close.
0:42:36 > 0:42:40The main thing now is to do everything we can for her family,
0:42:41 > 0:42:43don't you think?
0:43:23 > 0:43:24These are the Furies.
0:43:28 > 0:43:30Stop! Stop!
0:43:30 > 0:43:32He's my brother.
