Atlantis

I sense something in you, as you sense it in me.

You can't deny it.

Why am I not dead already? I was due to be hanged.

Stop worrying about such things.

What have you done?

I have kept my side of the bargain. Now you must keep yours.

I'd started to think you weren't coming.

I said I'd be here.

There's something wrong.

What is it?

Come on.

Halt!

Over there!

We're trapped.

We must wait here until it's safe.

Pythagoras should have returned by now. This is a fool's errand.

I won't leave Diocles rotting in a cell.

Why don't we lock ourselves in with him? Save Pasiphae the trouble.

I have a debt to pay.

I mean to honour it.

How is your father? You said he was sick.

He was. He's much better now.

It's a clear night.

I sometimes wonder how the sky can be so full of stars.

I once spent several long nights trying to count them.

- How many are there? - I don't know.

One star looks much the same as another.

Perhaps if I were to divide the sky into quadrants, then...

Only you would think of doing such a thing.

I'm sorry.

I'm boring you.

I'm never bored in your company.

It's been a long while since a patrol has passed.

- Are you certain you weren't followed? - I made sure of it.

Icarus has found a way for us to get into the arena. From there,

we should be able to break into the cells.

Icarus, tell Jason he's insane and we're all going to be caught and executed.

Look, you can see it in his face. He thinks it's madness, utter madness.

We should go.

Oh, great(!) The sewers.

I can already taste the stench. Oh!

Head north. After about 500 paces, you'll come to another grate.

It will bring you out in the arena, underneath the stands.

Meet me at the hunting lodge in three days' time.

Bring whatever supplies you can.

Pythagoras?

May the gods be with you.

And you too.

Nicomedas wishes for his son to be trained as a priest.

I don't see how that's any concern of mine.

Nicomedas is a powerful man. You may need his support in these uncertain times.

Very well. I will speak with Melas.

- What is it? - My informant was right.

Jason plans to break a prisoner out of the cells beneath the amphitheatre.

He is making his way there as we speak.

You cannot afford to hesitate.

Jason must be caught and he must be killed.

Leave us.

You would really see him die?

I have no choice.

This night...

...it ends.

This must be it.

Jason!

Jason? I thought you were dead.

- How is this possible? - Are you coming?

What about the others? I cannot leave them.

This is suicide. It's worse than suicide, whatever that is.

If you want your freedom, come with us.

I'd come to believe I would die in this place.

You saved my life. I wasn't going to forget that.

Run!

Run!

They were waiting for us.

Icarus...

Go! Make for the alley!

Pythagoras, go!

Now, wait here.

I'll scout ahead.

Jason!

Jason was injured and unarmed.

My men had him at their mercy.

The only reason he is still alive is because of your niece.

No, she would never betray me like that.

I saw it with my own eyes.

She is no longer to be trusted.

Leon? I thought you were dead.

A few of us managed to escape.

Is this all of you?

The others were cut down. None were spared.

I'm truly sorry.

You're not to blame.

You gave them a better chance than they would have had otherwise.

We should make for our camp.

Thinking about Icarus, aren't you?

You'll see him soon enough. Come on.

Father?

Hey.

My son.

Drink this.

Mm.

If they're going to kill me, why are they allowing you to give me medicine?

Don't think about that now.

Every day I think I am to be executed, and yet every day you come in their place?

- Drink some water. - Why? Why am I still alive?

Just be thankful that you are.

I can always tell when you're keeping something from me.

- I had no choice. - What did you do?

- It's better that you do not know. - Tell me.

I'm your father.

They wanted information.

About what?

- Jason and Pythagoras. - No, no.

- No, no, no, no, no. - I had to.

It was the only way to stop them from executing you.

You stupid boy.

But Jason and Pythagoras are unharmed. They escaped.

That changes nothing.

What are you going to do?

Keep on betraying them until they're both caught and killed?

I couldn't see you die.

I would rather die than have a traitor for a son.

Get out. Get out!

Please... Father...

I have never been so ashamed.

- How long have you been there? - A while.

When you were younger, I would often sit with you while you slept.

You had such terrible nightmares. You... you would call out for me.

I would hold you till you fell back to sleep.

Such a troubled child.

Were you dreaming of Jason?

- I do not remember. - You said his name.

It is only natural that you would be drawn to him.

It is almost like I feel what he feels.

He's a part of me, and I am a part of him.

Is that why you saved his life?

- You would deny it? - I could not see him die.

The bond between you is stronger than I realised.

I should have done more to protect you from your feelings.

I do not want protecting from them. I have never felt like this about anyone.

You love him?

Oh, my poor child.

Whatever feelings you have for him, you must banish them from your mind.

I don't know if I can. He's always in my thoughts.

You thought you could turn him.

But it is he who has turned you...

...and I will not allow that to happen.

If you try and see Jason again, you will leave me no choice.

I will slit your throat and watch you bleed at my feet.

I nurtured you when others shunned you. All that you are,

all that you have,

is because of me.

More than anyone, I understand what you're feeling.

But you will soon come to realise just how misguided those feelings are.

Your Majesty.

It's not I you should kneel before.

Jason is the true heir to the throne.

How can that be?

He is the son of King Aeson.

For too long, Atlantis has been ruled

by those who have no rightful claim to the throne.

They've ruled through tyranny and fear.

That must change.

All this time... We fought together, shared a cell.

You said nothing.

A king must earn loyalty, not demand it.

Then you have more than earned mine.

He speaks for all of us.

So...

...we're sharing our camp with a bunch of cut-throats and thieves.

They can hunt. I'll give 'em that.

I should take my turn on watch.

It seems you have a new army.

It's hardly an army.

More will join.

You inspire loyalty.

There was a time when I asked for your hand in marriage...

And I said yes.

I would say yes again.

I've come to realise that the future's so uncertain.

Every day is precious.

I cannot wait any longer.

Marry me...

...here in the forest, and let us never be apart again.

Estin eros hagnos, tis gar prodidosin erastes.

Estin eros hagnos, tis gar prodidosin erastes.

Nuun zetema kratos psuukhes en benthesin autes.

Uden gar bios est'ei me nekuuessin oneiros.

The man who was watching Medea was found dead.

We must assume she has fled the city.

- And no-one saw her? - It is the eve of the solstice.

The streets are filled with worshippers.

Foolish girl.

What are your orders?

It seems Medea has made her choice.

Hunt her down and kill her.

First her son, now her niece. It seems the Queen is running out of allies.

There are still those of us who remain loyal.

I count myself chief among them.

But these are troubling times. Who knows what the future may hold?
