00:01Heroes' quests are world-defining events.
00:04They have made and broken empires,
00:06altered the course of human civilization.
00:09A quest is a sacred thing,
00:11and to be charged with one is to be in conversation with the gods themselves.
00:16Monsters can't be avoided entirely.
00:18They're more common than you think.
00:19The trick is to spot them first before they spot you.
00:25It's a pleasure to meet you, son of Poseidon.
00:28I'm Medusa.
00:30Medusa offered to help me save my mom if I turn to the two of you.
00:33What'd you say?
00:34I got off her head.
00:39Percy, you can't ship Medusa's head to Olympus.
00:41Why not?
00:43Because the gods won't like it?
01:08You have to let go, Percy.
01:11I can't.
01:12Yep, you really can.
01:13You just have to try.
01:14I did try.
01:15No, you didn't.
01:16We have been in the same position for 15 minutes.
01:18Hey, come on.
01:19Just do it once with me.
01:21Can you go home now?
01:22Percy, we paid for this class.
01:29You know I wouldn't ask you to do this if it wasn't safe, right?
01:34Percy, it could be dangerous for you if you don't know how to do this.
01:38One day, it could be really, really important, and I may not be there to help you when that happens,
01:44so I need to make sure you can do it.
01:46Freeze.
01:47What?
01:49Just breathe, Mommy.
01:52That's what you always tell me to do.
02:04You'll always be here.
02:15Mom?
02:18Mom?
02:24Hello again, little hero.
02:28What sort of trouble are you up to now?
02:32Hmm?
02:33The forbidden child attracts attention.
02:38The forbidden hero?
02:40Well, they attract doom.
02:45She is coming.
02:57Hey, you asleep?
03:04Yes.
03:08You and Dahlia were really close, right?
03:12Yeah.
03:15What was she like?
03:19Why?
03:22She was the last forbidden kid before me, right?
03:26She must have dealt with the same kind of stuff.
03:29She was tough.
03:32I mean, she knew she was a forbidden kid, she just didn't care.
03:36When Luke and Dahlia found me, Luke cared for me right away.
03:41But Dahlia, she made me earn it.
03:47Is that why you give me a hard time?
03:49I gotta earn it with you too?
03:53Yeah.
03:54Maybe.
03:55I gotta say, that doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
04:00What doesn't make sense to you?
04:02What?
04:03The way you guys all talk.
04:05The way the gods want us to think.
04:08I gotta burn an offering to get a parent's attention.
04:11I gotta beat up on Clarice just to get my father to admit he's my father.
04:16It isn't supposed to work that way.
04:21People who work closely aren't supposed to treat you that way.
04:27You wanna know how we ended up alone on the road in the first place?
04:33I started out as a gift to my father.
04:37That's how it works with Athena.
04:40We're born from a thought in her mind and then given to a partner she feels connected to.
04:45And for a while I was treated like a gift.
04:49My father cared for me.
04:53He loved me.
04:56I knew it.
05:01Then he met a woman.
05:03They had their own kids.
05:07And to her I wasn't a gift.
05:10It was a problem.
05:14So I left.
05:17I was seven.
05:22It isn't the gods who think that way.
05:25It's everybody.
05:29But at least with the gods you know the rules.
05:32Show them respect and they'll be in your corner no matter what.
05:39You awake?
05:41I am now, thanks.
05:44Are you okay?
05:46He's super grouchy when he doesn't get enough sleep.
05:48He's super grouchy when he doesn't get enough.
05:50Yeah.
05:51Wow.
05:52He'd never been on a boat with him before.
05:54A little different than Froofy boarding school.
05:57He's Froofy.
05:58You're Froofy.
05:59What's Froofy?
06:01I think I need to eat.
06:03I think I need to eat.
06:30Dumb question.
06:31It's like you need me to make fun of you.
06:34Shoot.
06:36I've never been to Los Angeles before.
06:39I'm guessing neither of you have been to Los Angeles.
06:42So how will we have any idea where we're going?
06:45No idea.
06:47But that's like step 37 and we're still on step 4.
06:52Cross that bridge when I get there.
06:55Follow up stupid question.
06:57Dude.
06:57And you shall fail to say what matters most in the end.
07:01Back in Jersey I told you the Oracle said this quest would fail.
07:04And no one's mentioned it since.
07:07Seems like something we ought to be taking a little more seriously.
07:12Hey.
07:15Look at that.
07:17Are those?
07:19Centaurs.
07:29No one even knows they're there.
07:32There used to be herds of them.
07:33Everywhere.
07:35What happened to them?
07:37Humans.
07:41A few thousand years ago the god of the wild, Pan, disappeared.
07:48And ever since without Pan to protect the natural world, humans have been trying really hard to chip away at
07:54it.
07:55The bravest satyrs volunteer to become searchers.
07:59Trying to find Pan.
08:02None have ever returned.
08:06Your uncle we found, Medusas, Ferdinand.
08:10He was a searcher.
08:16The Oracle didn't say the quest would fail.
08:19Fail to save what matters most.
08:22That could mean a lot of things.
08:23That's how prophecies work.
08:25That's how fate works.
08:27It could mean a lot of things.
08:29The harder you work to understand, the harder it gets to understand.
08:35Sometimes you just gotta let it come to you when it's ready.
08:39Excuse me.
08:40Can I see your tickets, please?
08:49You're in cabin 17B.
09:05You wanna explain?
09:08Wait.
09:10Wait.
09:10You think we did this?
09:11Did you?
09:12I mean, how?
09:14And why?
09:15Sir, when we left to get breakfast, everything was intact.
09:18We don't know how this happened.
09:21We got a witness here who says she heard the window smash, and then heard children's voices.
09:26Oh, come on.
09:27Can you tell me what time you left the cabin?
09:28Are we under arrest?
09:31I don't think you wanna take that tone with me, little girl.
09:37Are we under arrest?
09:43So we're just killing time until we find out that guy's like a werewolf or something, right?
09:47The train is arriving at St. Louis Gateway Station in 10 minutes.
09:51I don't think he's a monster.
09:54Hard to say.
09:56Well, if he's not a monster, what's going on here?
09:59Why would anyone tear our room apart?
10:00Maybe they were looking for something.
10:03We don't have anything.
10:05The people who think you stole Zeus's master boat might disagree.
10:09Right.
10:11Well, look, they're not gonna find something we don't have.
10:15Either way, we aren't spending the day answering questions in a St. Louis police station.
10:19We need to get out of this before we get delayed.
10:23Do you mind if I sit?
10:26Ah.
10:29You poor dears.
10:33Your parents aren't here, are they?
10:36Isn't that right, precious?
10:39Don't children get scared when they're all alone?
10:43It's okay.
10:44I'm a mom.
10:45I know how scared you must be.
10:49Excuse me.
10:50Would you mind giving us a little space?
10:53I think...
10:55I think you're making them nervous.
11:02I want you to know,
11:05I don't actually think that you made that mess back there.
11:09I just wanted a moment alone with you.
11:13There are some things I need you to understand.
11:16You have something on your jacket.
11:19Looks like...
11:22Looks like glass.
11:26No one smashed out the windows from inside our cabin.
11:31Someone smashed them in from the outside.
11:39Yes, sweetheart.
11:41I know. I know.
11:43You're impatient.
11:48But we're almost there.
11:55This isn't your fault.
11:57But sadly,
11:59you're going to have to bear the burden
12:01of your parents' mistakes today.
12:04Listen, lady.
12:05I don't know who you are, but I think I know what you are.
12:08We've run across a few monsters like you,
12:10and we've sent them all packing.
12:14Monsters like me.
12:18Well...
12:18Of course they're like me.
12:22They were my children.
12:24Children?
12:27What does that mean?
12:29The mother of monsters.
12:32Echidna.
12:43Monster.
12:45That's an odd word.
12:46Considering my grandmother is your great-grandmother,
12:51and this has always been a family story.
12:54But...
12:55To my eye,
12:57the demigod is a more dangerous creature.
13:04Disruptive.
13:06Violent.
13:07If I exist for anything,
13:10it is to stand in the way
13:13of monsters.
13:15Like you.
13:19My little one here.
13:21She's just a pup now.
13:24Bless her heart.
13:28Today...
13:31You will be her prey.
13:37Are you afraid yet?
13:39It's alright.
13:41Fear is natural.
13:43It's also essential to the hunt.
13:45Your fear.
13:47Your doubt.
13:48Your confusion.
13:51I needed you to understand
13:54what was happening
13:56so that she could track the scent.
14:00So that she could learn
14:02and grow because...
14:05That's what a good mother does for her children.
14:09Not that you would know.
14:20You should run now.
14:26Three yards!
14:27Go!
14:31You! Stop!
14:33Stop!
14:36Silly girl.
14:38You got ahead of yourself.
14:41We'll work on that.
14:45We'll work on that.
15:12You!
15:23Hey!
15:24Where is it?
15:25Open this door!
15:26Come back!
15:27Give her open this door!
15:28What is that?
15:29It's a stinger.
15:31Gober, do you know what kind of monster
15:32has one of those?
15:33I don't know, I mean...
15:34nothing good probably do you feel okay i think so why do you think it's poisonous or something
15:40open this door right now i'm not sure
15:56we gotta move
16:10why isn't it still chasing us a kid that said whatever she was hiding in that carrier it's
16:14young it won't venture too far from my mother she's learning to hunt and this seems like the
16:21hunting part we aren't going to be able to outrun them for very long we don't need to
16:30we just need a safe place to hold up someplace safe any ideas where we might find one of those
16:38i do a sanctuary dedicated to athena hope i want to hurt demigod children a long time ago

17:05it's 630 feet wide 630 feet tall both towards an inch
17:12it's got no internal support each side is balanced perfectly against the other
17:18the arch is held up by symmetry it's held up by math and it's earthquake proof so poseidon can't
17:25ruin it nice excuse me this is how you show athena your love a monument to the power of perfection
17:36it's a monument to some other stuff too
17:39you're talking about what some humans want this place to be about i'm talking about what it actually
17:46is whatever we're safe here right no monsters can enter not even in ketna we're safe great
17:58well since our train exploded i'm gonna see if there's another one we can get tickets on
