Percy Jackson and the Olympians (2023) s02e03 Episode Script

1
[tense instrumental music playing]
[Percy] Luke was here
and he knew what he was doing.
If the tree falls, the barrier falls,
and camp will be open to any attack.
[Tantalus] Three of you must quest
for the legendary Golden Fleece.
And restore our borders
to their full strength!
Our champion, Clarisse La Rue.
- [chanting] Clarisse, Clarisse!
- What?
- [rainbow shimmers]
- [Chiron] The Great Prophecy
is known to a select few.
What am I supposed to tell Percy?
He can't know
there's something he can't know.
Percy, don't leave.
I have to. Grover needs my help.
- How did you get here?
- [Grover] Sea monster.
But it's all part of his system.
His trap.
- Who's "he"?
- Polyphemus!
- [Percy] You got me a cruise ship?
- Got you a ride.
That ship is going
where you need to go.
You're not telling me something,
but I don't care.
I'm guessing I'm gonna need
whatever's in that bag.
Now we're going on a quest.
[dramatic instrumental music playing]
[music concludes]
[thunder rumbling]
[ethereal instrumental music playing]
[wind whistling]
- [house creaking]
- [footsteps approaching]
[door creaks open]
I'm Clarisse
daughter of Ares.
[wind howling]
[eerie instrumental music playing]
I have been charged with a quest
and stand ready to receive
my prophecy from the
[foreboding instrumental music playing]
Oracle.
I'm Clarisse, daughter of--
[bones cracking]
- [sword slashing]
- [body thuds]
[slow sardonic melody plays]
[breathes shakily]
- [Oracle groans]
- [gasps]
- [Oracle breathing raspingly]
- [bones creaking]
[foreboding instrumental music playing]
[shrieks hoarsely]
You shall sail the iron ship
with warriors of bone.
You shall find what you seek
and make it your own.
But despair for your life
[pants]
entombed within stone.
[echoing] And fail
[Tantalus] Percy Jackson
and Annabeth Chase
will pay for deserting camp
in our time of need.
- Clarisse!
- [music stops]
Hmm?
You have full authority
to deliver justice to these outlaws,
if you encounter them on your quest.
Now, since Ms. Chase is dead to us,
you must choose a replacement companion,
or buddy, or quest mate,
or [sighs]
She needs two of them, right?

[serene instrumental
music playing on TV]
[music cuts off]
[Tyson] It's really cold in here.
- Are you dry already?
- [Percy] Here, take these.
Looks like Hermes thought of everything.
Magic vitamins, Thermos of Winds.
No drachmas, though.
[whispering] Okay, so
this secret
Chiron told you I can't know.
I know what you're gonna say.
I thought of a way we could
make this work, just between us.
[Tyson] Guys, I can still hear you.
[in normal voice] That's okay, dude.
Percy, you already know there's
something you're not supposed to know,
which is bad enough.
Okay, so don't tell me any more.
- Uh, what?
- Don't tell me.
That's your idea?
I trust there's a good reason
to stop me from leaving camp,
or going on the quest or whatever.
I trust Chiron.
But mostly, I trust you.
I'm guessing this is something
to do with my future,
or maybe my past, that I don't know,
but if I did know,
it'd make me act a certain way,
or do something stupid, right?
So, I'm good not to know.
But, and and this is key.
If you see me doing something
that leans in a bad direction,
you stop me with a codeword.
A codeword?
Yeah, I was thinking "boon."
[Tyson] This stinks.
Well, it's not your codeword.
[Tyson] I mean something smells bad.
- You say "boon", I back off.
- This is gonna be a problem.
- [Percy] It'll work.
- I hate that I can't tell you.
And pretty soon, you're gonna hate it too,
- no matter what we try.
- [Percy sighs]
And then you're gonna hate me.
You know what I think?
I think we've had a rough couple of days.
We're stowaways on a cruise ship.
I say we check out the pool,
or the arcade, or the buffet.
Monsters.
[tense instrumental music playing]
I smell monsters on the ship.
Monsters. Plural?
[music concludes]
[melancholic instrumental music playing]
[birds chirping]
[dramatic percussion music playing]
Lord Ares, Father,
I am humbled by your presence.
Humble's for losers. Get up.
Heard you snagged
the Golden Fleece gig.
Looks like
you're two ding-dongs short of a quest.
Didn't want any dead weight
slowing me down.
A one-woman army, huh?
Ready to burn it all down?
All right. I can help out with that.
[rousing instrumental music playing]
This is your ride.
Ironclad.
Raised her from a watery grave
and amped her up.
You got a 40-millimeter
bang-bang on the bow.
Twelve pounder on the fly bridge
and 15-inch artillery on your six.
Locked and loaded
with 100% pure celestial bronze ammo.
Boom! [puffs]
Any questions?
Uh, who are they?
These losers?
Those are your line officers.
Raised them from the grave too.
"Those defeated in battle
owe a debt of service to Ares."
You'd think I'd get the winners,
but [chuckling] no.
[scoffs] Anyway, soldier,
it's your time to shine.
I can't do more for you
without breaking the rules,
and I'm in the doghouse as it is.
The sea twerp's got a head start on you,
but you need to reach
the finish line first.
On my honor, I won't let you down.
Good.
Because you know
what'll happen to you if you fail.
[tense instrumental music playing]
Let me warm these guys up for you.
[rousing instrumental music playing]
[Ares] Attention, maggots!
This this little girl here
is your new commander.
This is her first quest.
Now her training is best in class,
but in the field,
she is woefully inexperienced.
You will make sure that she succeeds.
Because if you don't,
I will personally
grind your bones to dust,
then sweep that dust
into a tiny little baggie
and chuck that sucker
into the pit of Tartarus!
- [gulps]
- Capiche?
[line officers] Capiche, Lord Ares!
All yours.

Those are the same
Laistrygonians we saw at camp.
[Tyson] They're walking
right out in the open.
[Annabeth] The Mist must be working
overtime to hide them.
[tense instrumental music playing]
We may have to get off the ship
in a hurry.
Why don't you grab the rest of the gear?
[Laistrygonian growls]
Hey, guys. You hit the buffet, huh?
Let me get the door for you.
[scanner beeping]
[elevator bell chimes]
[growls]
Those were definitely from
the clan that attacked camp.
Why would Hermes send you here?
- Gotta be something else.
- Where you going?
[Annabeth] We gotta go grab Tyson
and get as far from this ship as possible.
Hermes must have known
there were monsters here.
- It just doesn't make sense.
- Annabeth?
Annabeth Chase? Alison!
Simms?
- Hey! [sighs]
- Hi.
Glory to Athena.
Honor to Apollo. This is Percy.
Oh, I know.
Every demigod's heard of this guy.
You're from camp?
[Alison] Graduated. Been seeing the world.
[Annabeth sighs] Alison,
you have to come with us now.
- What are you talking about?
- Monsters on the ship.
Three Laistrygonians
were just behind you.
- You're lucky to be alive.
- Where are they?
They took a service elevator.
We couldn't follow.
[sighs]
[tense instrumental music playing]
- Wait, where are you going?
- I've got friends on board.
[sighs] Demigods.
- Stay here and I'll go get them.
- Hold on a second.
[Annabeth] We don't know
how many monsters there are.
There could be more.
My crew are monster hunters.
We'll even the odds.
[Grover, echoing]
Alison Simms, is that you?
Like you had the odds on Grover?
[Annabeth] What?
He saw her in a nightmare.
She's leading us into a trap.
[Alison scoffs] Luke won't be happy
when I bring him your heads.
But he'll get over it.

Hello again, little hero.
[music continues]
This is why Hermes sent me to this ship.
Luke is here.
This is the mark of Kronos.

[cruise director]
Good morning, passengers,
and welcome to another beautiful day

As we sail into the Golden Age,
be sure to indulge
in the shrimp buffet

Remember, the Mist protects you
from the prying eyes of mortals,

He's not just here. This is his ship.

[Tyson] I know you mentioned
Kronos was King of the Titans,
but who are the Titans again?
They ruled in the time before Olympus.
- Kronos was the father of Zeus.
- [Tyson] Was?
Kronos didn't trust his kids,
so he ate them.
Zeus got him to barf 'em back up,
chopped his dad into pieces
with his own scythe.
So now, Kronos wants revenge.
[Tyson] But he's in pieces.
Where do you think Luke would be?
- What?
- We can get the drop on him,
take him down, end the war tonight.
Take him down?
[Percy] He still doesn't know we're here.
We have the advantage.
What do you mean by take him down?
Annabeth, we're outnumbered
on a boat filled with monsters.
- We have to strike while we can--
- Boon.
Okay.
I see your point.
Now this could be a problem.
- Giving in to revenge?
- No, the codeword thing.
You could just say "boon"
to win any argument ever,
even if you're wrong.
When Luke poisoned Thalia's tree
it was like seeing my brother stab
my sister in the back.
[somber instrumental music playing]
No one is angrier at Luke than I am.
But I don't want to see him dead.
Look, I'll tell you
the same thing I told Hermes.
I don't think Luke can be saved.
And I do. I have to.
Luke has good reason to hate the gods.
Kronos used that to manipulate him.
I want to get him away from Kronos.
I want to get him away from this ship.
[sighs] So, capture, instead of kill.
I can work with that.
As long as we steer clear of boon.
- We need a new codeword.
- I like "boon."
Thank you.
Here. The Admiralty Suite.
Luke's all about glory.
He'd take the biggest room for himself.
There's still a lot of monsters.
How do we get him off the ship
without being seen?
I got an idea.
[suspenseful instrumental music playing]
[elevator bell chimes]
[tense instrumental music playing]
- [groans]
- Monsters?
Worse. [sniffs]
What could be worse?
- [Kronos] I've been waiting.
- [winces]
Percy?
I'm good.
[Annabeth] Okay, what's your plan?
Kick down the door. "Hi, Luke."
That's your plan?
Yeah, or maybe, "Bye, Luke."
Percy, you can't take him in a fight.
Thanks for the vote of confidence.
[elevator bell chimes]
[growls]
[groans]
[sighs]
Open up!
Can you listen in?
[suspenseful instrumental music playing]
[in Alison's voice]
They boarded near the stern.
They've a pet cyclops with them.
[in Luke's voice] That's not a pet.
Poseidon claimed him.
He's Percy's brother.
[in Alison's voice]
Well, he's right outside the door.
[music building]
[dramatic instrumental music playing]
[Laistrygonians growl]
[Luke] They're not gonna fight.
[breathes shakily]
They're smarter than that.
[music fades]
[tense instrumental music playing]
Little nicer than Cabin Eleven, huh?
[Tyson] Percy?
- Relax. He'll be safe here.
- Tyson!
- [louder] Percy!
- [Laistrygonian grunts]
They won't hurt you.
[door closes]
[music fading]
How'd you learn about this ship?
Your dad told me.
Apparently, he still thinks
there's hope for you.
I disagree.
Well, good.
Hermes should lose hope.
His time is over.
If Hermes knows where you are,
then so does the rest of Olympus.
Surrender now, to us,
and maybe Zeus spares your life.
Zeus doesn't do mercy.
Look at how he spared his own daughter.
Besides, shouldn't Poseidon be
the god I worry about?
Or
Poseidon hasn't shown up
because he's already too busy fighting.
- [sighs]
- [sinister instrumental music playing]
[Kronos] Ah, little hero.
The Great Awakening has already begun.
The Titans are returning
because Kronos is returning.
Every half-blood that joins us
makes him stronger.
His essence will rise
from Tartarus to gather here.
Piece by piece.
That's why you need the Golden Fleece.
To speed up his healing.
We'll forge a new body for him.
So, that's why you poisoned Thalia's tree.
To force a quest for the Fleece.
That's why you destroyed all that's left
of your oldest friend.
You didn't know her!
[somber instrumental music playing]
Thalia and I were on the run
together for two years.
You were with us for two months.
[breathes shakily]
You were just a kid.
Thalia hated Zeus.
If she knew about the Great Prophecy,
if she knew she had a chance
to tear down Olympus,
she would've never given up her life.
That tree is her curse.
She'd be glad to see it fall.
Did he say, "Great Prophecy"?
[tense instrumental music playing]
Wait.
You know about the Great Prophecy.
And you don't. [sighs] See?
This is how the gods divide us.
By walling off the truth.
I actually don't wanna know.
Because you're smart
or because you're scared?
Can I be both?
[chuckles softly]
I always liked you, Percy.
You deserve to know the truth.
[suspenseful instrumental music playing]
[indistinct clamor]
[demigods grunting]
[swords clashing]
[growls]
Demigods and monsters.
Uh, we don't really use that word here.
[Percy] Monsters?
We're all children of the gods.
Tyson's the son of Poseidon.
Tyson! You okay?
[Luke] He gets treated like an outcast
just because his mother wasn't human.
- [Laistrygonian] Finished?
- [Tyson] Needs more power.
- Can I borrow a fireball?
- Oh, yeah.
[Luke] Here, with us,
he can use his talents
as a master craftsman.
He'll be rewarded for those skills.
And he'll be accepted,
not treated like a problem to solve.
We are fighting
to create a new Golden Age.
Where every spirit,
every creature, every demigod
is free.
Where do humans fit in your Golden Age?
[Annabeth] They'll be lucky to survive.
A war between the Titans and Olympians
will tear the earth apart.
What about Camp Half-Blood?
You gonna break your friends, Luke?
'Cause they won't bow.
When the barrier falls,
camp won't be able
to stand against our assault.
The smart campers will see that
and choose to join us.
If they do, they'll be spared.
If a child of the eldest three
were to join our ranks,
that would be a powerful show
of loyalty to Kronos.
We wouldn't need more recruits.
We wouldn't even need
the Fleece. [inhales shakily]
You could end the war.
Tonight.
[tense instrumental music playing]
Did Kronos tell you
about the Great Prophecy?
[Luke] He speaks directly to me now.
And you trust him not to twist the words
of a prophecy in his favor?
The words are clear.
It's prophecy. The words are never clear.
She's trying to trick you.
You think you're so clever.
- [swords ringing]
- I can see right through it.
[Luke] Alison, stand down.
[Tyson] All done.
[grunts] Mm. Good work.
[grunts] What do you call it?
[music intensifies]
A bomb.
[music swells]
[demigods and monsters groaning, coughing]
[triumphant instrumental music playing]
[Annabeth grunts]
- Cut 'em down!
- [sword ringing]
No! [pants]
- [intense instrumental music playing]
- Guys, come on!
- [pants]
- Here, here!
[Alison] There!
[Tyson pants]
- [grunts]
- [Alison grunts]
- [loud banging on door]
- [Alison grunting]
[grunts, screams]
- [both pant]
- [banging continues]
- [Alison grunting]
- [alarm blaring]
- [indistinct chatter]
- [passengers laughing]
- [passenger 1] Yeah, bro!
- [passenger 2] Way to go, buddy!
[thrilling instrumental music playing]
- [thermos clicks]
- [wind hissing]
[wind whooshing]
[music concludes]
[steam engine chugging]
[faint chatter]
Aren't you tired of losing?
You're all losers, right?
You owe a debt to the god of war
because you failed in battle.
But lemme ask you guys. [sighs]
- What do you owe to yourselves?
- [indistinct grumbling]
Because
maybe this is more
than just another tour of duty.
Maybe this is a
second chance
to change how you're seen,
to change your fate.
[stirring instrumental music playing]
[Clarisse]
You all have that chance right now
to become the heroes
who found the Golden Fleece.
To take this win and shove it
down the throats of everyone
who's ever doubted you.
When you return
to the underworld,
it won't be to Asphodel!
It won't be to the Fields of Punishment!
You will be exalted
in the Fields of Elysium!
Who's with me?
[music building]
Then let's get this floating
hunk of pig iron on the move.
- [line officers cheering]
- Aye, Captain! Let's move!
- [line officer 1] Onward!
- [indistinct clamor]
[line officer 2] Stay alert.
Pull it together, man!
- [music softens]
- Capitaine.
Are you sure about these coordinates?
- Why?
- The numbers you gave
point us to the middle
of Rocktown, New Jersey.
That's a strange place
for a Sea of Monsters, no?
- [campers applauding]
- [Percy] Wait, hold on.
The dream came to me,
not Tantalus.
[echoing] And those numbers
aren't even the right ones.
- [tense instrumental music playing]
- Jackson.
[music concludes]
[breathes heavily] Hey.
Thanks for getting us out of there.
That was quick thinking.
- Those big guys weren't so bad.
- [zipper hissing]
[Tyson chuckles softly]
They were actually kind of funny.
Then why'd you make the bomb?
'Cause you and Annabeth were in trouble.
And a real hero stands up for others.
[sniffs]
[Annabeth] I think he was right.
What?
About Thalia.
Maybe I didn't really know her.
- Maybe I just thought I did.
- [pensive instrumental music playing]
[Annabeth breathes deeply]
If I was wrong about her,
maybe I'm wrong about everything.
You're not wrong.
Luke is the one who's wrong
'cause he believes Kronos's lies.
Percy, I don't know the full prophecy.
I thought Chiron told you.
He gave me the gist.
He wouldn't tell me the exact words.
If Luke's right about anything,
it's that you deserve to know
the truth about your own fate.
[sighs]
- [thunder rumbling]
- [gasps]
[breathes deeply]
The prophecy tells of a child
of the eldest three,
who, upon reaching 16 years of age,
will become a powerful weapon.
[poignant instrumental music playing]
Weapon?
The hero of the prophecy
will decide the fate of Olympus.
A single choice
that either saves the Age of the Gods
[inhales sharply]
[music building]
or destroys it.
[music swelling]
Chiron thinks I might destroy Olympus?
What do you think?
[soft instrumental music overlapping]
You were right.
I wish I didn't know.
[epic instrumental music playing]
[adventurous theme music playing]
[theme music continues]
[Clarisse] We're not friends.
[thunder cracking]
So, let's go do the impossible.
[Clarisse] We are now entering
the Sea of Monsters.
- [exhales shakily, grunts]
- [wheel cranking]
[creature roars]
[theme music continues]
[theme music concludes]
