00:07Look, I didn't want to be a Half-Blood.
00:12Being a Half-Blood is dangerous.
00:14It's scary.
00:17Most of the time, it gets you killed in painful, nasty ways.
00:24If you think you might be one of us,
00:27my advice is turn away while you still can.
00:31Because once you know what you are,
00:34they'll sense it, too.
00:36And they'll come for you.
00:40Don't say I didn't warn you.
00:53My name is Percy Jackson.
00:56I'm 12 years old.
00:58Am I a troubled kid?
01:01Yeah, you could say that.
01:04Bad grades, bullies, all the normal stuff.
01:10And then there's some other stuff.
01:13Some stuff that's maybe not so normal.
01:27That's me, back in second grade.
01:31Why was I up there?
01:33I saw something.
01:36At least, I could have sworn I saw something.
01:44When you say you saw something like that, you wind up in this guy's office.
01:48Good news.
01:50He's saying there's nothing to worry about.
01:52It's all in my imagination.
01:55But if it happens again, make sure to tell someone.
02:01It happened again.
02:04These impossible things that felt like they walked right out of the stories my mom always told me.
02:10So, real one minute.
02:13And then the next.
02:16Oh, loser.
02:18Hey, fellas.
02:19Want to come here about the imaginary stuff I see?
02:22It's not a thing you want to be saying.
02:24To anyone.
02:25So, I didn't.
02:29Then, something changed.
02:33I met Grover.
02:35We had a lot in common.
02:43And not just because we're both at the bottom of the food chain.
02:46And you know what?
02:48It felt good to talk about these things with Grover.
02:50You can almost believe they were imaginary.
02:54Weird, but...
02:55Armless.
02:58Until the day that changed, too.
03:03Until the day one of them decided to come for me.
03:15What you see here...
03:17They are not fictions.
03:20They are not fantasies.
03:23What you see here are the truest and deepest parts of yourselves.
03:32Friends.
03:33The gods.
03:36The monsters.
03:38The heroes.
03:39You see here in this room.
03:42Are reminders of what we are capable of.
03:47Now, on your worksheets, I want you to choose one of the subjects you see here and describe it.
03:56Not just how it looks...
03:58Not just how it looks...
04:00But how it makes you feel.
04:04Okay, come on.
04:15What do you see?
04:21Perseus.
04:24That's me.
04:25Mm-hmm.
04:26That's who you're named after.
04:29Is that why you named me after him?
04:33Because he was a hero?
04:35What makes you think he was a hero?
04:38Because he kills monsters.
04:41And what makes you think that she was a monster?
04:44Mom.
04:47Not everyone who looks like a hero is a hero.
04:50And not everyone who looks like a monster is a monster.
04:55I named you after him because when he was a very little boy, he and his mother were placed
05:01in a wooden chest and cast out into the sea by a very angry king, alone, afraid.
05:08And at night, his mother would whisper in his ear, hold fast, Perseus.
05:16Brave the storm that was made to break us, for we are unbreakable as long as we have each
05:22other.
05:25And against all odds, he managed to find his way to a happy ending.
05:37Perse?
05:38Mom?
05:39I'm right here, sweetie.
05:41Mommy's here.
05:44Mr. Jackson, you will learn to control yourself.
05:48Do you understand me?
05:49Me?
05:50Do you understand me?
05:51He can't help it, Mrs. Dodds.
05:54Percy's special.
05:56That's enough.
06:00May them no mind.
06:04When you're ready to hear what the gods have in store for you, they'll tell you, I believe
06:11in you.
06:12And I believe you'll be needing this.
06:18Hang on to that.
06:20There's a mighty instrument.
06:33There are all sorts of schools of thought about what drives that kind of bullying.
06:36Childhood trauma, feelings of inadequacy.
06:38Look, I get it to Nancy's issues.
06:41I'm just getting tired of her taking them out on me.
06:43I feel like maybe it's time to do something about it.
06:48You could make an appointment to see Mr. Kane?
06:50She's really good at talking to you.
06:51I was thinking more like shoving Nancy in the nearest dumpster.
06:55Oh.
06:56Oh, no.
06:57No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
06:59No.
06:59There's one thing I know about bullies.
07:01It is that you should never, ever stand up to them.
07:04That doesn't sound right.
07:08Look, I know this place is hard for people like us.
07:11We're not going to be here forever.
07:13There are better places than out there.
07:17Oops.
07:20Percy?
07:28Percy, push me!
07:40There you are.
07:44We're not fools, Percy Jackson.
07:48Mrs. Dodds?
07:49Are you okay?
07:51It was only a matter of time before we found you.
08:03Where is it?
08:05Half-blood.
08:07Where is it?
08:31Is she dead?
08:34Give him some room, please.
08:40What happened?
08:43Where's Mrs. Dodds?
08:45I didn't do anything to him.
08:47Everyone, go back to your lunches.
08:49It's all right.
08:50Percy just needs a moment.
08:51That's all.
08:53I don't understand.
08:54Didn't anyone just see that?
08:57Where's Mrs. Dodds?
08:59Where is Mrs. Dodds?
09:01Percy.
09:02There's no one here by that name.
09:07All right, class.
09:08Let's move along.
09:09Let's go.
09:10Thank you so much.
09:16The truth can be so very hard to determine.
09:21But in this case, the truth seems very hard to deny.
09:27Mr. Jackson, a number of your classmates saw you and Mr. Underwood arguing with Miss Boba Fett.
09:34Yet you have offered no explanation for how she ended up in that fountain.
09:38Other than, uh...
09:42I didn't touch Nancy.
09:47Now, isn't there anything else you'd like to say for yourself?
09:53I didn't touch Nancy.
09:57Okay.
09:59Mr. Underwood, do you have anything to add?
10:08Yes.
10:11I do.
10:14Go on.
10:17Percy had told me earlier in the day that he wanted to get back at Nancy for all she'd done
10:22to us.
10:23Glover?
10:23And he isn't being truthful about what happened at the fountain.
10:26Glover?
10:26Excuse me.
10:27Are you saying you saw Mr. Jackson assault Ms. Boba Fett?
10:40Yes.
10:41I do.
10:52None of this is easy.
10:55Not for you.
10:57Not for any of us.
10:59I'm very concerned about you, Percy.
11:01I saw what happened at the museum.
11:03I didn't touch Nancy.
11:06I know you didn't.
11:09At least, I know you think you didn't.
11:15Do you want to tell me what you think did happen?
11:20You can tell me.
11:21I might just understand.
11:23You still want to bet?
11:26Percy.
11:28I've seen a lot of young people go through this sort of thing in my time.
11:33But of all of them, I suspect that you might have the most difficult journey.
11:40I suspect you are special.
11:44So much more so than you know.
11:46Just stop.
11:49I don't need any more stories about how special I don't realize I am.
11:54They aren't helping.
11:56This is my ride.
11:57I'm going home.
12:17I'm going home.

17:50We're here.
17:54Andre?
17:58One, two.
18:01Ah!
18:02Ah!
18:03Ah!
18:04Ah!
18:04Ah!
18:05Ah!
18:05Ah!
18:05Ah!
18:06Ah!
18:20Ah!
18:33I found the good marshmallows, the ones that don't burn so easy.
18:37I don't think it was ever the marshmallows fault I wasn't paying attention.
18:55Mom, I need to talk to you about something.
19:05I'm used to feeling weird, I'm used to the world feeling weird to me, like a puzzle with half
19:13the wrong pieces.
19:15I try to pay attention, and I really try, but then I'm daydreaming, and I can't help it.
19:26But lately, it hasn't felt like daydreaming.
19:32It's felt, I don't know, more real, maybe.
19:41And I'm here at the museum, and...
19:44You saw something.
19:50Something that felt real to you, but no one else could see.
20:08What did she say to you?
20:14Sheep?
20:16How did she know it was a sheep?
20:21Do you know why we come to this cabin every year?
20:24Because it's near the septic tank, so it's cheap.
20:27Mom, how did you know about that thing I saw?
20:29We come to this place every year because this is the place I met your father.
20:36My dad.
20:37What does my dad have to do with this?
20:39What does my dad have to do with this?
20:47A long time ago, I met a man here on the beach.
20:55He was wise, and brave, and kind, and noble.
21:01From the moment I first saw him, I knew that...
21:07That I had never met a man like him before.
21:12And then I realized he was unlike any man I had ever met before.
21:22Because he wasn't a man at all.
21:26He was a god.
21:34You fell in love with God?
21:38Like...
21:39Like...
21:40Like Jesus?
21:42Not God.
21:44A God.
21:45Percy.
21:46Okay.
21:48The stories that I have told you about great gods and heroes and monsters, they are real.
21:56Mom, in those stories, I have told you about how gods and mortals were born.
22:01Mom, please stop.
22:02Mom, please stop.
22:02Mom.
22:03And sometimes they are known as half-bloods.
22:09That's what the master called me.
22:11Mom, what's happening?
22:13You are a half-blood.
22:16And half-bloods are not safe in the world.
22:21Once they reach a certain age and they begin to understand what they are, terrible forces are drawn to them,
22:31driven to harm them before they can become strong enough to fight back.
22:35That is what you have been feeling.
22:39It has always been a part of who you are.
22:41It was always coming.
22:43I just...
22:43Why are you telling me this?
22:44Percy, I know that this is hard to understand, but you have to believe me that this is real.
22:49But this is crazy, okay?
22:52I'm not a god.
22:53There is something wrong with my brain.
22:55I understand that I'm weird.
22:57Believe me.
22:58I get it.
22:59But I'm afraid something may be really broken.
23:02Oh, baby.
23:02And now you're telling me stories like it's gonna make it okay?
23:06No, I'm not a baby.
23:08I know there's no such thing as monsters.
23:10I know there's no such thing as gods.
23:12And I know for certain that there is no such thing as demigods.
23:17Who's there?
23:19Ms. Jackson, it's Grover.
23:20Grover?
23:21This is a little time sensitive.
23:23Could someone maybe open the door?
23:24What is he doing here?
23:25I don't want to see him.
23:26Wait, Mom.
23:28I asked how the night you said we could all leave in the morning.
23:31Sorry, I'm early, but I didn't have any choice.
23:33Things have changed.
23:34This is all developing a lot faster than we anticipated.
23:36Early?
23:38You should have asked me before you...
23:39Whatever it is you're gonna say, I don't want to hear it.
23:42Grover?
23:43Percy?
23:44Okay, so something's coming.
23:46Grover.
23:46I know, that sounds really bad.
23:48Grover.
23:48But the important thing is not to panic.
23:49I'm not panicking.
23:51Grover?
23:51I'm also definitely not panicking.
23:53I feel very good about how we're doing so far.
23:55Grover!
23:56What?
23:57Grover, why is there half a goat in your pants?
23:59Oh, it's...
24:02Oh.
24:03Oh, boy, she didn't tell you about...
24:06You didn't tell him about me?
24:08You're early.
24:12So the important thing is not to panic.
24:15We'll continue this in the car, let's go.
24:24My job has been to guide you to this moment.
24:27It's always an emotional rollercoaster for young demigods,
24:30so providing a support system is really...
24:32Who are you?
24:33I'm Grover.
24:34I'm your best friend and...
24:36What are you?
24:40I'm a satyr.
24:42And I'm your protector.
24:44You're my protector?
24:46If I hadn't gotten you kicked out of school, you'd have never survived the night.
24:50I would've chasing us now would've found you there easily.
24:55I'm sorry.
24:59Usually I can sense danger coming a mile away, but this time...
25:02Well, none of us saw Dodds coming.
25:06So you knew?
25:07That thing that Dodds turned into, you saw it happen?
25:11Why didn't you say anything?
25:12I saw some of it.
25:14The mist kept her hidden even from us until it was too late.
25:17Mist?
25:18What's a mist?
25:20The mist.
25:21It's the veil that hides the magical world from the human world.
25:24My legs.
25:25Dodds' wings.
25:27Even Dodds' absence.
25:29But it isn't supposed to hide things from me.
25:31That never happens.
25:32Something powerful is at work here.
25:34The sooner we get you to camp, the better off your...
25:37You told them about camp, right?
25:39Not yet.
25:40No.
25:42Camp is a sanctuary for half-bloods.
25:45A safe space where you can learn who you are and what the world is like on the other side
25:48of the mist.
25:49Uh, it's not far actually, just a little ways past the bend up there.
25:52Mom, what else haven't we talked about?
25:57What else haven't you told me?
26:03Is that the Minotaur?
26:05Once the attacks start, they never let up.
26:07Okay, Dodds is just the beginning.
26:09He is next.
26:10He is brutal.
26:11He is relentless.
26:12He is wearing underpants.
26:18The Myth and Magic cards were training.
26:20Everything has been training for what's still ahead of you.
26:22What's ahead of me?
26:24Boys?
26:24Yeah?
26:25I'm actually 24.
26:26Hold on, please.
26:32Go!
26:36Ah!
26:40Ah!
26:43Ah!
26:49Let's go.
27:18Let's go.
27:45Is everyone okay?
27:47Yeah.
27:55This way!
28:08We're here.
28:10That's the boundary.
28:12No monsters can cross it.
28:15Percy will be safe on the other side.
28:18Percy will be.
28:19But will all of us be safe?
28:26Grover, I am entrusting you to protect my son, my only child.
28:32Don't worry, Mrs. Jackson.
28:33Percy will be totally safe again.
28:35Swear it.
28:37What's happening?
28:38Swear it, Grover.
28:40Keep him safe from anyone or anything that comes for him that wants to do harm, that looks at him
28:45the wrong way.
28:46Do you understand me?
28:48I swear.
29:00I gotta go now, sweetheart.
29:02Go?
29:02What do you mean, go?
29:03I can't go with you.
29:06Why can't you?
29:08She's human.
29:15You're gonna need to be brave now.
29:19Remember what I taught you.
29:20Remember the stories I told you.
29:22Especially the stories they will tell you.
29:24No way, Mom.
29:24I'm not leaving you.
29:25Percius.
29:26Listen to me.
29:30You are not broken.
29:35You are singular.
29:39You're a miracle.
29:42And you are my son.
29:48Hold fast.
29:52Braves the storm.
29:56I love you.
30:04We need to move.
30:05Give me her coat.
30:07Why?
30:08What are you gonna do?
30:08He smells half-blood.
30:09That's what he's tracking, yeah?
30:11That's right.
30:12So, if he smells you in two directions at once, maybe I can confuse him.
30:15Buy us both a little time to get away.
30:16Mom, please.
30:17Don't.
30:18Hey.
30:19It'll be okay.
30:41Go!
30:42Now!
30:43Now!
31:15No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
31:20Mom!
31:53Percy! Percy, no!
32:19Percy, no!
32:58Percy, no!
33:20He must be the one.
33:22Hush, Annabeth.
33:25He's waking. Everyone, give him some space, please.
33:30Welcome to camp, Percy Jackson.
33:33We've been expecting you.
33:51We'll see you next time.
34:18We'll see you next time.
34:48We'll see you next time.
35:26Let the games begin!
35:34It's so important that I get here because my father forgot.
35:38So I'm going to go find him.
35:49We'll see you next time.
35:50We'll see you next time.
36:00We'll see you next time.
36:11We'll see you next time.
36:23We'll see you next time.
36:37We'll see you next time.
36:48We'll see you next time.
36:51We'll see you next time.
