Percy Jackson and the Olympians

Olympians fight.

We betray. We backstab.

See, years before I was born, my grandpa, Kronos,

ate my aunts and uncles.

My dad knows he's not getting this bolt back

with quests or goose chases.

So we're gonna have a war.

They were talking about what comes next.

Like getting Zeus and Poseidon to fight was only the beginning

and they're planning something bigger on top of it.

We find Hermes.

We get him to hook us up with a ride to Los Angeles

and a plan to get into the Underworld.

-We need your help to-- -I know what you need my help for.

There is a way into the Underworld.

A secret way.

Each will provide one of you safe passage back from the Underworld.

There are four of them.

Save the world…

and then go save your mother.

Welcome, weary traveler!

Come on in and take a load off.

These beds will change your…

life.

Well…

hello there.

Missing our mommy, are we?

I know who you are.

You’re Procrustes.

Son of Poseidon, and murderer of travelers.

Crusty, please.

And you…

you’ve got Dad’s eyes.

Take a load off. Relax for a minute.

The beds are a trap.

That’s how you do it.

How you murder your guests.

I do?

I know there’s a secret passage to the Underworld here.

I know you were left here to guard it.

But I need you to let me through.

Please?

In addition to being incredibly comfortable,

these beds are great

for your self-confidence.

-I’m really not interested-- -They show you how to fit.

Fitting’s not easy for guys like us, am I right?

Our parents make it so hard.

Stretching us and twisting us and hacking off pieces

to make us seem more like them.

Anywho…

these beds take all that away.

With these beds, you just… fit.

Try it.

I think you'll feel much better.

You first.

You okay?

Yeah, I’m fine.

You won't save her.

You won't be the first to try

bringing someone back from the Underworld.

You won’t be the first to fail.

Hey!

You're lucky we're letting you keep your head, dummy.

Don't push it.

Is it over?

Are we sure this is the right way?

It’s either the realm of the dead,

or someone left a carton of milk in there in the 1990s.

Better?

Much.

If we get into trouble…

…these are our tickets out.

No one's turning back till we all come back.

No one comes back.

Dude! Don't make me come back out there.

We have no idea what's down there.

I just think it's safer if I'm not holding them all.

Let's go get your mom.

Well, we're not in Kansas anymore.

What?

I never show you that movie?

Ah.

I meant, we are only an hour from the city

and it feels like we're on a different planet.

-It’s so… peaceful. -I'm not going.

We discussed this.

This is gonna be really good for you.

Dr. Higgins says this is the best school,

the best program in the state for kids with learning differences, okay?

-We were very lucky to get in. -I'm not going.

Percy, I know that you do not want to do this,

but sometimes I have to make choices

that you may not understand.

I'm not going!

Percy!

This is not a negotiation.

The only question is how ugly you are gonna make it

before we say goodbye.

Now, open the door.

Fine!

Grover, hurry up.

Not in Kansas.

Hey, focus.

We left Kansas four days ago.

Yeah. No, it's a…

Never mind.

Guys, is that who I think it is?

Charon, the boatman,

taking new arrivals across the River Styx.

Which means that over there is the main gate.

-Let's go. Maybe we can get there first. -Yeah.

Why don't you let me hang on to that for now?

Come on.

Excuse me. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.

I'm sorry. Sorry.

Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me.

We're with them, up there.

Behind you. Sorry.

-This seems so wrong. -Nah.

Only suckers wait in line.

Just--

You know, you should really spend some time in the city with me.

I think you’d learn a lot.

You're not dead.

I mean…

we're all dying…

to some extent.

And you didn't pay to cross.

Wait! We-- we can pay! We can pay!

Here. Drachmas.

Just take… take, uh…

Just, you know, take them all.

You can buy a new whistle.

Go, go!

Grover!

Percy, that way!

You… are a bad… bad dog!

Guys! I can't hold this forever.

Can you fly us up there with your shoes?

You can do this.

One at a time. Take Percy first.

Maia.

Annabeth!

Guys?

Excuse me.

Wow.

That was really…

I mean, how did you…

My father had a dog when I was little.

I guess I remember the tricks.

Oh, wow.

Look at that.

Hades's palace.

That's where he'll be keeping the master bolt.

And your mom.

Oh, no.

What?

My pearl. I lost the pearl.

I think it's…

It's in the dog.

-What are we gonna do? -I don't know.

But if we don't move, it is not gonna matter.

Come on.

No. No. No, no, no, no.

He is registered. I have the email from your office right here,

-saying that he's registered. -I'm very sorry.

But some new information came to light that has forced us

to reconsider your application.

What kind of information?

A drawing.

-Oh, come on. -A drawing that--

It wasn’t a disciplinary issue.

A drawing that caused his previous school counselor

to reach out to me personally to express his concern.

He drew a picture of a horse with wings.

It isn't just the drawing.

Our problem is that he was found walking across the roof of the gymnasium,

after which he said he saw something out there.

We aren’t equipped to offer the kind of psychological monitoring

we believe your child will require here.

I have already withdrawn him from his former school.

He has no place else to go.

Have you considered homeschool?

Homeschool?

I know.

It sounds overwhelming but there are resources to help.

It's a real option.

Some children…

are better off being with their parent.

I'm sorry, but no.

I… I cannot accept that as an answer.

So let's you and I figure out a way to make this work.

We can't ignore this.

-Stop. -It's just math.

The three of us, plus your mom, is four people,

and only three pearls.

Someone is staying behind

and it should really be me.

It wasn't your fault.
