Percy Jackson and the Olympians (2023) s02e08 Episode Script

1
[Chiron] Thalia Grace
has made the ultimate sacrifice.
Zeus has honored her bravery
by giving her a new form of life.
[Annabeth] Luke
I think the Fleece
can bring Thalia back to us.
[Luke] If the Fleece
could bring Thalia back,
Kronos would have told me
before I poisoned the tree.
So ask him. Ask him to tell you the truth.
So you're just gonna let me win?
This isn't about winning or losing.
This is about getting
the Fleece to the tree
as soon as possible to save camp.
[Grover] The the tree
isn't an ordinary tree.
It's divine magic,
just like the Golden Fleece.
[Annabeth] So when we get to camp,
she could already be there?
[thunder rumbling]
[sinister instrumental music playing]
Why didn't you tell me
that the Fleece could bring Thalia back?
[grunts]
- I'm loyal.
- [Kronos] Then prove it.
- Join our forces.
- [Laistrygonians groaning]
[Kronos] Burn camp to the ground.
And kill the son of Poseidon.
[music concludes]
[insects chirping]
[tense instrumental music playing]
[Thalia] We gotta keep moving.
This is open space, it's not safe.
[Fury screeching]
- [music rising, falling]
- [Furies shrieking]
Don't stop. Don't look back
and be prepared for anything.
What? [hesitates]
No, I'm I'm not leaving you.
Listen to me! Listen!
I can slow them down,
but you need to protect her.
Get them to camp, okay?
You gotta get her to safety.
We take care of our own.
Go. Go!
[music intensifying]
[Thalia] Come on then.
You wanted a fight, I'll give you one.
- [Furies growling]
- [lightning crackling]
[thunder rumbling]
[music fades]
[Annabeth] The prophecy tells
of a child of the eldest three.
[haunting choral music playing]
[Annabeth] Who,
upon reaching 16 years of age,
will decide the fate of Olympus.
A single choice
that either saves
the Age of the Gods
or destroys it.
- Percy. What is it?
- [music concludes]
Nothing. Just
- Look out!
- [tires screeching]
- Blackjack?
- [breathes heavily]
Where's Clarisse?
I know him.
- [sighs]
- [car door closes]
He knows him. Okay.
[sighs] You guys are growing up so fast,
and your world is
You have a lot to carry.
[Annabeth]
That's where Thalia's gonna help.
She can help Percy carry the weight.
Take it off his shoulders.
Wait, you mean Thalia’s gonna be
the one in the prophecy?
- Not Percy?
- There's there's a prophecy?
Isn't there always? [chuckles]
Clarisse never made it to the tree.
There's monsters up ahead
and they're surrounding camp.
She took off on foot with the Fleece.
- Where are you going?
- With you.
No. No way.
- I wasn't asking, Percy.
- [Percy] Please.
Just up this road,
I watched the Minotaur
[emotional instrumental music playing]
I can't let you get close
to that kind of danger again, okay?
Yeah.
But it's not just me that
you're really worried about, is it?
[sighs]
Do you remember that dream you had?
About the drachma?
- On one side, a trident.
- [Sally] Yeah.
And the other, a scythe?
I thought that was about me.
Like, two different sides of me.
Good and bad. But
- now I think it's about me and--
- Thalia.
[Tyson] Percy?
Promise me you'll stay at a safe distance.
- Yeah.
- [Percy] Okay.
- Yeah.
- [Percy] Okay.
[Tantalus] Why the long faces?
You should take pride in
restoring our chariot circuit.
You know, before I was a king,
I was a charioteer myself.
My skill and speed were renowned
throughout the land,
and wherever I went,
a feast was given in my honor.
[hesitates] Anyway,
maybe you too will be invited--
- Sir!
- Uh, yes.
Uh, I I'm sorry, Mr. Rodriguez.
I'm just in the middle
of a story right now.
[tense instrumental music playing]
Another giant broke through.
That's three in three days.
And our barrier's weaker than ever.
We need more people to patrol the border.
Yeah, no can do.
We are barely gonna finish in time
to get the races going again.
Screw the races!
Soon enough, there won't be any races.
There won't be any camp!
[Tantalus] I I'm sorry, are you trying
to scare these kids?
None of you have seen a real siege.
The kind they had back in my day.
The blood, the brutality.
We picked up a weapon and we
[dramatic instrumental music playing]
The gods.
The gods have lifted my curse.
Because I was right!
[fireball roaring]
Oh, come on.
[campers screaming, clamoring]
[Laistrygonian grunting]
[camper] Another one got through!
[laughs, grunts]
[indistinct clamor]
[Bronte] Fire!
- [barrier crackling]
- [fireball exploding]
[tense instrumental music playing]
[Bronte] Draw!
Fire!
[growls]
[growls, grunts]
[camper 1] Stay to the ground!
- [camper 2] Hold the line!
- [campers exclaiming, groaning]
[Laistrygonians grunting, roaring]
Bronte doesn't have enough people.
She probably hasn't slept in days.
Clarisse definitely didn't come this way.
- Percy, I hear something.
- [Percy] What?
I don't know.
Moving toward us, shaking the ground.
- [engines rumbling]
- [music intensifying]
[both grunt]
- [grunts]
- [growls]
Send word to our siege units.
[in Luke's voice] I want everyone
to join us at Half-Blood Hill.
We're going in.
[indistinct chatter]
Are you sure we can cross?
The barrier won't stop demigods.
And it hasn't stopped our team
inside camp from letting your friends in.
[gasps] Team inside camp?
Finish what you started with the tree.
Bring it down,
bring the barrier down with it.
This battle is only the beginning.
We will burn camp to the ground
and anyone left inside.
But when the battle is over,
the tree must still stand.
The war will be decided
by a child of the Big Three.
Thalia will destroy Olympus.
She is the most powerful demigod alive.
We need to free her from the tree.
[music building]
[music concludes]
[bird cawing]
[dramatic instrumental music playing]
[grunts]
- [arrow whooshing]
- [music concludes]
[camper] Another one
got through the barrier!
Hold your fire! It's me!
[Chris] Katie, hold up!
- Sorry, Clarisse, I--
- I don't care.
You guys are my escort.
Now we've got a lot of ground to cover.
Clarisse, we're all needed out here.
Look, there's monsters
breaking through the border.
- The barrier's about to fall and--
- Not if we get this to Thalia's Tree.
[soft, enchanting melody playing]
[Percy] How does Luke know
the Fleece can bring Thalia back?
I told him.
- [distant explosions]
- What?
Why?
Because Thalia is the only thing
Luke cares about more than Kronos.
How do you know she'll be on our side?
Because I know.
I heard Kronos say that there was another.
You were worried
the Great Prophecy was about me.
What about Thalia?
This is about your dream
about Thalia showing up at camp.
Demigod dreams are dangerous.
You're the one who told me that.
Kronos can manipulate dreams.
If he got into Ares's head,
he can get into yours.
Don't let him.
You think she'll be on our side
because she's your friend?
That's right.
But she's Luke's friend, too.
[somber instrumental music playing]
She'd have to choose
between the two of you.
You can't imagine what that's like.
[Tyson] What are we gonna do?
[sighs]
[Laistrygonians growling]
[tense instrumental music playing]
[breathes shakily]
They're heading to the convoy.
Grover, which way?
- [stammers] Which way to what?
- The Fleece.
It gives off the same scent
as Pan, right?
You can track it.
You and I should go track down the Fleece
so Percy and Tyson can head
to the tree to help Bronte.
- [camper 1] Don't move.
- [camper 2] It's the exiles!
- Wait! Hear us out.
- Take them to custody.
Ellis, Clarisse needs our help.
You tried to steal her quest.
You should have
never come back here.
We don't have time for this.
There's an army at our front door.
If they resist, cut 'em down.
All right. Fine.
Take us to Tantalus.
Tantalus is gone.
What?
[Ellis] Caught a fireball in the face.
Who's in charge of camp defense then?

All right. Take 'em to Tantalus.
[whispers indistinctly]
Oh, right. [groans]
Clarisse has the Fleece.
If we got here before she did,
that means she's in trouble.
Oh, actually.
- [pleasant chord on guitar]
- Clarisse has the Fleece ♪
And Luke has monsters and demigods
getting ready to march
into camp right now.
- [pleasant chord on guitar]
- So?
So, you're camp director.
[laughs] Okay.
Luke's not just after us, he's after you.
He's trying to bring the Titans back.
- Okay. That's enough.
- [discordant notes on guitar]
Is there a Titan actively
attacking the camp right now?
- No, but--
- [Mr. D] Then I can't help you.
You kids are gonna have to start
working out your differences on your own!
Differences?
Kronos is back.
- [tense instrumental music playing]
- [campers mumbling nervously]
[Mr. D] Okay, okay.
There is no proof that that's true.
He spoke to me.
[indistinct chatter]
Look, look. This is it.
This is the real thing.
What Chiron's been training us for.
We all grew up
hearing these stories about heroes.
You think that story, that quest, that
prophecy
it's gotta be about someone else.
But it's not.
- It's just us.
- [rousing instrumental music playing]
There is no bigger hero
or divine intervention
to come to our rescue.
We have to take care of our own.
Because that's what real heroes do.
We stand up for each other.
- [Riptide ringing]
- We stand up for our home!
- [music swelling]
- [campers cheering]
[chuckles]
[music concludes]
[Bronte] Archers! Positions!
Hold steady! It's up to us!
- [tense instrumental music playing]
- [camper] Why did they stop?
[Bronte] Hold!
[breathes heavily]
[rogue demigods shouting indistinctly]
[music continues]
[Clarisse] Was anyone else
from my cabin hurt? Where's Mark?
[Chris] He's leading one of the patrols.
We've got four covering the perimeter now.
You guys should be guarding the tree.
The barrier has to hold.
The barrier's breaking.
[softly] And so are we.
You know, some of us are worried
that there's enemies in camp.
Traitors.
Traitors?
Let's just say I don't like the way
Katie took a shot at you.
What?
- Chris, what are you doing?
- Katie, let me see your bow.
Why?
She's a traitor. One of Luke's loyalists.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Now!
- [intense instrumental music playing]
- [camper shouts]
- [grunts]
- [groans]
[indistinct clamor]
Luke always had my back.
Just give me the Fleece.
I'll tell him you died well.

Maybe you forgot you don't have those.

[music concludes]
[birds cawing]
[Poseidon] This is not death.
[soft instrumental music playing]
Or life.
- This is a--
- A dream.
I'm dreaming.
You've grown.
I tried calling you before.
[sighs]
[Percy] Luke wasn't lying, was he?
The war has started.
A great stirring is underway.
The Titans walk loose from their prison.
War is inevitable.
I need my son by my side.
Thank you for watching over him.
Percy, you're okay.
Tyson, look at me.
The forge of my brother Hephaestus
is hidden in the deep of my domain.
We have need of your skills
to craft weapons for the war to come.
Yes. Yes, sir.
If you need time
to think it over--
[Tyson] I'll go.
It's the least I can do, really,
to repay you for
for Percy.
What?
A long time ago, on the streets,
before I met you and Sally, I
It was really, really hard.
I prayed to the gods for help.
I prayed for a friend.
And I was sent a brother. [sniffles]
I'm gonna go get ready. Or wake up.
Or
Yeah.
- If you need extra help, or
- Your destiny lies elsewhere.
The Great Prophecy, right?
I planned to tell you myself,
nearer your sixteenth year, but
I suppose there is no ideal age
to carry the burden
of deciding the fate of the universe.
Is that why you had me?
There are forces more powerful
than the will of the gods, my son.
Fate is one of them.
Love, another.
Never underestimate yourself, Perseus.
"Never."
[intriguing instrumental music playing]
That's the first word she said.
Thalia.
Do you know what she meant?
Brace yourself.
[music fades]
[Grover, voice echoing] He's awake.
[Annabeth, in normal voice]
She's still out.
[gasps]
[soft instrumental music playing]
How long have we been out for?
Three days.
Chiron approved us to use
most of the nectar in storage
- for healing people up.
- Chiron?
Reinstated. Wanted to see you
as soon as you woke up.
[whimsical instrumental music playing]
[scoffs] Okay, say it.
[both] You drool in your sleep.
[all laugh]
[Percy] So, we won.
Survived. The Kronies were
driven back. Luke vanished.
- [campers applauding]
- [indistinct chatter]
[Clarisse] Chiron put me in charge
of training our strike force
for the fight to come.
Let's get started!
Could use you, too.
Both of you.
Not you.
I got my own assignment, thanks.
Congratulations, Clarisse.
Just give me a, "Shut up, Jackson."
Shut up, Jackson.
[Percy sighs] It's good to see you back.
[doors closing]
I'm glad Zeus finally came to his senses.
I regret
not having told you of my connection
to Kronos last summer.
[pensive instrumental music playing]
Uh, I regret
many things.
I've always tried to heed
the will of the gods,
and to be an example
for the demigods that I train and
care for.
I can no longer do both.
What do you mean?
You deserve to know the truth
of what really happened
that night that you arrived.
What really happened?
[music concludes]
[tense instrumental music playing]
[Fury screeching]
[intense orchestral music playing]
[Furies shrieking]
I remember this.
I don't need to relive it.
The story you remember
didn't end the way you think.
- [Thalia] Go. Go!
- [Chiron] I know because I saw everything.
[Thalia] You wanted a fight,
I'll give you one.
[Chiron] I prepared
to defend the young girl.
The Furies kept their distance.
Did not attack.
Instead, they spoke.
[Furies speaking indistinctly]
Until they said too much.
- [thunder rumbling]
- [Furies shrieking]
[exhales shakily]
[Zeus] Thalia Grace.
[imposing choral music playing]
Zeus.
Father.
[poignant instrumental music playing]
[Chiron] The Furies had delivered
a message from Hades,
who knew exactly how to drive a wedge
between father and daughter.
Well, it It's too late.
I heard what they said.
All lies.
That you want me
to fight some war for you.
To fulfill some fake prophecy.
The Great Prophecy is very real.
And you must be on the right side of it.
I thought it was all lies.
I have tolerated
this rebellious phase long enough.
You're nearly 16, a dangerous age.
And for a daughter of Zeus,
that danger grows by the day.
But here
you would be protected, more.
You would be idolized
by the other demigods
who would fight each other
to bask in your glory.
The only demigods I care about
are the two I just brought here.
I see now that that was a mistake.
So, I am going to go and get them,
and we are going to leave.
Thalia Grace,
you will not walk away from me.
Hear my words!
I don't want to be your daughter.
- [thunder rumbling]
- I will never be your weapon.
Do you hear me? Nev--
[thunder roaring]
[melancholy instrumental music playing]
[Grover] You lied.
You saw what happened.
And you
lied.
Six years ago, Zeus ordered me to lie.
To say that the Furies
had mortally wounded Thalia
and that he had spared her life.
When you first told me
about the quest this year,
I realized what Kronos intended.
To use the power of the Fleece
to raise his champion.
His champion?
[Chiron] I feared that champion
was you, Percy.
But I was wrong.
You you don't mean
[thunder roaring]
[pants]
Where’s?
[emotional instrumental music playing]
Annabeth?
You've grown. [sighs]
[sobs]
Where's Luke?
[thunder rumbling]
[Thalia] Where is he?
[suspenseful instrumental music playing]
[Percy] You guys get nightmares, right?
Not like mine.
Because mine just woke up.
