00:00.000 --> 00:27.320
Part II

00:30.000 --> 00:31.000
Achilles!

00:31.000 --> 00:37.000
Over here, stable keeper, barbarian horse worshipper.

00:37.000 --> 00:44.000
Out of breath so soon, my right foot princely?

00:44.000 --> 00:52.000
Your friend Patroclus fled with father and made better sports.

00:52.000 --> 00:53.000
Murderer!

00:53.000 --> 00:54.000
Patroclus with a boy!

00:54.000 --> 00:55.000
A boy?

00:55.000 --> 01:00.000
Well, he died like a dog whimpering after his master, Achilles.

01:00.000 --> 01:03.000
Come, let me send you to him where he wakes in Hades.

01:03.000 --> 01:12.000
Let me throw the dog a bone or two.

01:12.000 --> 01:13.000
What?

01:13.000 --> 01:17.000
So anxious to be gone?

01:17.000 --> 01:26.000
I would not keep you for the world.

01:26.000 --> 01:29.000
Bones would be the meatier Trojan.

01:29.000 --> 01:32.000
The meatier trifle of the fair to me.

01:32.000 --> 01:59.000
We're all as one, we were white and well enough in the sun.

02:03.000 --> 02:05.000
Run, Achilles!

02:05.000 --> 02:06.000
Run!

02:06.000 --> 02:27.000
Run a little more before you die!

02:27.000 --> 02:29.000
What sort of people are they, doctor?

02:29.000 --> 02:32.000
Oh, I'm not sure, my child.

02:32.000 --> 02:34.000
You'll notice they're wearing Grecian costumes.

02:34.000 --> 02:36.000
They don't seem to have noticed us.

02:36.000 --> 02:39.000
That's hardly surprising in the circumstances.

02:39.000 --> 02:41.000
Which side do you suppose they're fighting?

02:41.000 --> 02:43.000
I haven't the remotest idea, my boy.

02:43.000 --> 02:46.000
No doubt their reasons will be entirely adequate.

02:46.000 --> 02:50.000
Yes, I think I... perhaps I'd better go and ask them where we are.

02:50.000 --> 02:52.000
Doctor, be careful, they're terribly fierce.

02:52.000 --> 02:53.000
Oh, what nonsense.

02:53.000 --> 02:57.000
If you take notice of them, I think they're doing more talking than they are fighting.

02:57.000 --> 02:59.000
I'd better go and ask them where we are.

02:59.000 --> 03:01.000
Doctor, you can't. You know if you go out there by yourself...

03:01.000 --> 03:04.000
Now you stay here, my dear, and look after that ankle.

03:04.000 --> 03:06.000
Wouldn't it be better if I went?

03:06.000 --> 03:09.000
Not at all, young man. You stay here and keep an eye on Vicky.

03:09.000 --> 03:12.000
Besides, I don't think your present humor is fitting for the occasion.

03:12.000 --> 03:17.000
You know, I don't think they'd appreciate your kind of sarcasm.

03:17.000 --> 03:21.000
The gods of my people, Hector, are not lightly mocked.

03:21.000 --> 03:23.000
They are terrible!

03:23.000 --> 03:27.000
Troy itself is doomed to fall at their bidding.

03:27.000 --> 03:29.000
Even as you are.

03:29.000 --> 03:31.000
You cannot stand against them.

03:31.000 --> 03:36.000
You pretend that old Father Zeus will descend to earth and take Troy for you.

03:36.000 --> 03:41.000
I guarantee to trim his beard for him if he dare attempt it.

03:42.000 --> 03:45.000
Beware the voice of Zeus, Hector.

03:45.000 --> 03:47.000
Beware the anger of Olympus.

03:47.000 --> 03:52.000
Oh, my, to fear the thunder, you superstitious, dark, dodging decadent!

03:52.000 --> 03:54.000
Hear me, Zeus!

03:54.000 --> 03:59.000
Accept from me the promised life of your cringing servant Achilles.

03:59.000 --> 04:06.000
Or else, I challenge you, descend to earth and save him!

04:12.000 --> 04:13.000
Zeus!

04:14.000 --> 04:15.000
Forgive me.

04:15.000 --> 04:19.000
Stop! You must not kick a man when he is down.

04:20.000 --> 04:22.000
You have killed this poor fellow.

04:22.000 --> 04:23.000
Oh, but in your name.

04:23.000 --> 04:26.000
In my name, indeed. Get up!

04:26.000 --> 04:28.000
Get up, I tell you!

04:29.000 --> 04:31.000
This is terrible.

04:31.000 --> 04:33.000
Zeus bid me to rise.

04:33.000 --> 04:34.000
What is this?

04:34.000 --> 04:36.000
What is it you take me for?

04:36.000 --> 04:38.000
The father of the gods and ruler of the world.

04:38.000 --> 04:39.000
What?

04:39.000 --> 04:41.000
Do you really?

04:41.000 --> 04:45.000
And who might you be, may I ask?

04:45.000 --> 04:46.000
Achilles.

04:46.000 --> 04:49.000
Mightiest of warriors, greatest in battle, humblest of your servant.

04:49.000 --> 04:52.000
Well, if I may say so, you're not really humble, are you, eh?

04:52.000 --> 04:54.000
Yes, I think I know you, yes.

04:54.000 --> 04:56.000
And this friend of yours must be...

04:56.000 --> 04:58.000
Hector, prince of Troy.

04:58.000 --> 05:01.000
Sent to Hades for blasphemy against the gods of Greece.

05:01.000 --> 05:03.000
Blasphemy? I'm sure he didn't mean it.

05:03.000 --> 05:06.000
He threatened to trim your beard till you descend to earth.

05:06.000 --> 05:07.000
Oh, did he now?

05:07.000 --> 05:11.000
Well, if you notice, I have no beard.

05:11.000 --> 05:13.000
If you had appeared to me in your true form,

05:13.000 --> 05:16.000
I would have been truly blinded by your radiance.

05:16.000 --> 05:18.000
It is well known that when you come amongst us,

05:18.000 --> 05:20.000
you adopt to many different forms.

05:20.000 --> 05:21.000
Oh, do I?

05:21.000 --> 05:23.000
To Europa you appear as a bull.

05:23.000 --> 05:25.000
To Leda as a swan.

05:25.000 --> 05:28.000
To me, in the guise of an old beggar.

05:28.000 --> 05:30.000
I beg your pardon, I do nothing of the kind.

05:30.000 --> 05:32.000
Oh, but still your glory shines through.

05:32.000 --> 05:34.000
Oh, indeed, indeed so.

05:34.000 --> 05:36.000
Yes, so I should hope.

05:36.000 --> 05:39.000
Yes, well, thank you. I'm glad to meet you.

05:39.000 --> 05:42.000
Now, if you will excuse me, I must get back to my temple.

05:42.000 --> 05:44.000
Attend to his funeral.

05:44.000 --> 05:45.000
Oh, stop!

05:45.000 --> 05:47.000
You must not go.

05:47.000 --> 05:50.000
Do you realize whom you are addressing?

05:50.000 --> 05:53.000
Forgive me, Father Zeus. I spoke hastily.

05:53.000 --> 05:57.000
Then do not hinder me, or I will strike you with a thunderbolt.

05:57.000 --> 06:02.000
I must brave even the wrath of Zeus and implore you to remain.

06:02.000 --> 06:04.000
Well, I don't see why I should.

06:04.000 --> 06:07.000
I have many other commitments, you must understand.

06:07.000 --> 06:11.000
And one of them lies here, in the camp of Agamemnon, our general.

06:11.000 --> 06:13.000
Oh, hear me out, I pray you.

06:13.000 --> 06:17.000
For ten long years now, we have laid siege to Troy,

06:17.000 --> 06:20.000
and still they defy us.

06:21.000 --> 06:22.000
Come!

06:28.000 --> 06:30.000
Where's he off to now?

06:30.000 --> 06:32.000
It's a fine time to go looking at the view.

06:32.000 --> 06:35.000
After all, that's why he went out there, to find out where we are.

06:35.000 --> 06:38.000
Anyway, that man looks quite friendly now.

06:38.000 --> 06:41.000
He's probably showing him the way to the nearest town.

06:41.000 --> 06:43.000
I wonder.

06:44.000 --> 06:47.000
I think I'd better try and find some more suitable clothes.

06:49.000 --> 06:53.000
There they sit, secure behind their walls,

06:53.000 --> 07:02.000
whilst we rot in their summers and starve in their crack-bone winters.

07:08.000 --> 07:10.000
What's this, Achilles?

07:10.000 --> 07:13.000
So far from camp, all unprotected, from a prisoner?

07:13.000 --> 07:14.000
Odysseus, this is no prisoner.

07:14.000 --> 07:15.000
Certainly not.

07:15.000 --> 07:18.000
Not yet a prisoner? You should have called for assistance, lad.

07:18.000 --> 07:19.000
We would not like to lose you.

07:19.000 --> 07:21.000
Come, let us escort you homewards.

07:21.000 --> 07:24.000
Night might fall and find thee from thy tent.

07:24.000 --> 07:26.000
I wouldn't stand for that if I were you.

07:26.000 --> 07:28.000
Ah, but then, O fellow, you are not the Lord Achilles.

07:28.000 --> 07:30.000
He is not the one to look for trouble, are you, boy?

07:30.000 --> 07:32.000
Have a care, pirate.

07:32.000 --> 07:35.000
Are there no Trojan throats to slip that you dare tempt my sword?

07:35.000 --> 07:37.000
Throats enough, I grant you.

07:37.000 --> 07:42.000
Some half-scored Trojans will not whistle easy tonight, but what of you?

07:42.000 --> 07:44.000
Oh, what a trifle.

07:44.000 --> 07:46.000
I met Prince Hector.

07:46.000 --> 07:48.000
Here he lies.

07:48.000 --> 07:50.000
Zeus!

07:50.000 --> 07:51.000
Was instrumental.

07:51.000 --> 07:53.000
No doubt, no doubt.

07:53.000 --> 07:55.000
But what a year this is for plague.

07:55.000 --> 07:57.000
Even the strongest might fall.

07:57.000 --> 07:59.000
Prince Hector, that he should come to this.

07:59.000 --> 08:02.000
You met him here, you say, as he lay dying.

08:02.000 --> 08:04.000
I met him, Odysseus, in single combat.

08:04.000 --> 08:06.000
Oh, yes, it's true.

08:06.000 --> 08:11.000
And raced him round the walls till down he fell exhausted.

08:11.000 --> 08:12.000
A famous victory.

08:12.000 --> 08:14.000
I met him face to face, I say.

08:14.000 --> 08:16.000
Battled with him for an hour or more,

08:16.000 --> 08:19.000
until my greater strength overcame him.

08:19.000 --> 08:20.000
Bravo!

08:20.000 --> 08:26.000
But tell me, Lightfoot, what of Zeus, you say, intervened and...

08:26.000 --> 08:31.000
Why, there he stands and listens to your mockery.

08:31.000 --> 08:34.000
Oh, yes, I find it most interesting.

08:37.000 --> 08:40.000
What this old man, this red-bagged great plague!

08:40.000 --> 08:41.000
Oh, come Achilles!

08:41.000 --> 08:43.000
Oh, forgive him, Father Zeus.

08:43.000 --> 08:45.000
He is but a rough and simple sailor.

08:45.000 --> 08:49.000
Why, very rough, but scarce as simple as you seem to think.

08:49.000 --> 08:52.000
What have we here?

08:56.000 --> 08:57.000
The seer!

08:58.000 --> 09:00.000
He's coming in.

09:00.000 --> 09:02.000
No, the doctor will stop him.

09:02.000 --> 09:04.000
I must go out and help.

09:04.000 --> 09:06.000
No, don't. Just a minute.

09:08.000 --> 09:09.000
Here.

09:10.000 --> 09:12.000
Take this and wait behind the door.

09:12.000 --> 09:15.000
The temple of Zeus, you say.

09:15.000 --> 09:19.000
A joyful modest, is it not, for so powerful a god?

09:19.000 --> 09:21.000
This is my travelling temple.

09:21.000 --> 09:23.000
Being small, it's convenient.

09:23.000 --> 09:25.000
You shall not enter.

09:25.000 --> 09:26.000
Certainly not.

09:26.000 --> 09:28.000
In any case, I must be off.

09:28.000 --> 09:29.000
Oh, then will you not stay with us?

09:29.000 --> 09:30.000
No, I...

09:30.000 --> 09:31.000
What?

09:31.000 --> 09:33.000
You will to the Grecian camp.

09:33.000 --> 09:35.000
If you indeed be Zeus, we have need of your assistance.

09:35.000 --> 09:37.000
Now, do not call there, lads.

09:37.000 --> 09:40.000
Zeus is on our side, sir Agamemnon.

09:40.000 --> 09:42.000
Keeps insisting.

09:42.000 --> 09:45.000
Bear him up and let us carry him in triumph to the camp.

09:45.000 --> 09:47.000
I am quite capable of walking.

09:47.000 --> 09:49.000
Odysseus, I claim the honour to escort him.

09:49.000 --> 09:51.000
Let him walk to camp with me.

09:51.000 --> 09:52.000
You shall have honour enough.

09:52.000 --> 09:54.000
Maybe we shall have a little of the truth.

09:55.000 --> 09:57.000
Father Zeus, we await you.

09:57.000 --> 09:59.000
We crave the pleasure of your company at supper,

09:59.000 --> 10:02.000
and perhaps a tale or two of Aphrodite.

10:02.000 --> 10:06.000
I refuse to enter into any kind of vulgar bawdry.

10:06.000 --> 10:09.000
Then you shall tell us why we are here.

10:09.000 --> 10:12.000
Tell us why we find you lacking near our lines.

10:12.000 --> 10:15.000
That should prove equally entertaining.

10:15.000 --> 10:16.000
Take him, lads.

10:16.000 --> 10:18.000
And two of you there, take off this carrier.

10:18.000 --> 10:20.000
Have a care, do not touch me.

10:28.000 --> 10:29.000
You will pay for this, Odysseus.

10:29.000 --> 10:31.000
Ah, will I? We shall see.

10:31.000 --> 10:35.000
This much must we do for the Lord Achilles,

10:35.000 --> 10:39.000
lest none believe his story.

10:41.000 --> 10:43.000
You will not laugh so loud, I think,

10:43.000 --> 11:05.000
when Agamemnon hears of this.

11:05.000 --> 11:06.000
I am going after him.

11:06.000 --> 11:08.000
I'm sure he's been taken prisoner.

11:08.000 --> 11:10.000
Oh, come on, the big man was laughing.

11:10.000 --> 11:13.000
Didn't look as though the doctor made a joke.

11:13.000 --> 11:15.000
Anyway, we don't even know where we are.

11:15.000 --> 11:16.000
The doctor said they were Greeks.

11:16.000 --> 11:18.000
We're probably in Greece.

11:18.000 --> 11:21.000
Oh, that would be wonderful, wouldn't it?

11:21.000 --> 11:22.000
We might meet the heroes.

11:22.000 --> 11:23.000
We might...

11:23.000 --> 11:25.000
Those men who carried off the doctor wouldn't be heroes,

11:25.000 --> 11:26.000
or anything like them.

11:26.000 --> 11:28.000
That's why I've got to go and get him.

11:28.000 --> 11:29.000
Well, I'm coming with you.

11:29.000 --> 11:31.000
How far do you think you can get on that ankle?

11:31.000 --> 11:32.000
It's not so bad. Now I...

11:32.000 --> 11:33.000
I'll manage.

11:33.000 --> 11:35.000
No, you stay here.

11:35.000 --> 11:37.000
Rest your ankle, watch the scanners.

11:37.000 --> 11:38.000
You'll be perfectly safe.

11:38.000 --> 11:40.000
When you see the doctor and me coming, open the doors.

11:40.000 --> 11:41.000
But not otherwise.

11:41.000 --> 11:42.000
But Stephen, we mustn't...

11:42.000 --> 11:44.000
No, I haven't got time to argue.

11:44.000 --> 11:46.000
I want to get to the doctor before they cut his head off.

11:46.000 --> 11:49.000
Now stay here.

11:49.000 --> 11:52.000
Goodbye.

11:52.000 --> 12:10.000
I hope you find the doctor, that's all.

12:10.000 --> 12:12.000
You drink too much, Mendeleevs.

12:12.000 --> 12:14.000
I've told you about it before.

12:14.000 --> 12:16.000
Why can't you learn to behave like a king

12:16.000 --> 12:19.000
instead of a dropsical old camp follower?

12:19.000 --> 12:21.000
Have a little dignity.

12:21.000 --> 12:24.000
Try to remember that you're my brother, can't you?

12:24.000 --> 12:26.000
One of the reasons I drink agamemnon

12:26.000 --> 12:29.000
is to forget that I am your brother.

12:29.000 --> 12:31.000
Another is this ridiculous Trojan expedition.

12:31.000 --> 12:34.000
We've been here for ten years.

12:34.000 --> 12:36.000
I want to go home.

12:36.000 --> 12:38.000
Besides, I'm not getting any younger.

12:38.000 --> 12:39.000
You won't get any older if you talk to me like that,

12:39.000 --> 12:41.000
brother or no brother.

12:41.000 --> 12:42.000
What's the matter with you, man?

12:42.000 --> 12:43.000
Don't you want to get Helen back?

12:43.000 --> 12:44.000
Don't you...

12:44.000 --> 12:46.000
Don't you want to see your wife again?

12:46.000 --> 12:48.000
Quite frankly, no.

12:48.000 --> 12:51.000
You must know I was heartily glad to see the back of her.

12:51.000 --> 12:55.000
You mustn't talk like that in front of these.

12:55.000 --> 13:00.000
It wasn't the first time she'd allowed herself to be abducted.

13:00.000 --> 13:03.000
I can't keep on going off to the ends of the earth to get her back.

13:03.000 --> 13:05.000
It makes me a laughing stock.

13:05.000 --> 13:08.000
Now, you knew perfectly well what she was like before you married her.

13:08.000 --> 13:10.000
Besides, this is a question of honor to get her back.

13:10.000 --> 13:12.000
Family honor, don't you understand?

13:12.000 --> 13:16.000
Not to mention the trade routes through the Bosphorus, of course.

13:16.000 --> 13:18.000
What have they got to do with it?

13:18.000 --> 13:22.000
It isn't enough for you that you control the Achaean League, is it?

13:22.000 --> 13:25.000
Now you want to take over Asia Minor as well.

13:25.000 --> 13:29.000
Only King Priam of Troy stands in your way.

13:29.000 --> 13:32.000
May I remind you that these ambitions would have been served just as well

13:32.000 --> 13:35.000
if you had killed Paris in single combat as you were expected to.

13:35.000 --> 13:37.000
And don't interrupt.

13:37.000 --> 13:40.000
Priam would have been quite prepared to let this contest settle the issue between us.

13:40.000 --> 13:41.000
Yes, but...

13:41.000 --> 13:44.000
Don't blame me because you've landed us into a full-scale war.

13:44.000 --> 13:48.000
Yes, but I did challenge Paris, if you remember, ten years ago.

13:48.000 --> 13:50.000
Furrow wouldn't accept.

13:50.000 --> 13:52.000
He's just about as cowardly as you are.

13:52.000 --> 13:56.000
For the last time, I am not a coward.

13:56.000 --> 13:58.000
Well, in that case, why don't you challenge someone else?

13:58.000 --> 13:59.000
Anyone.

13:59.000 --> 14:00.000
Challenge Hector.

14:00.000 --> 14:01.000
Hector?

14:01.000 --> 14:02.000
Hector?

14:02.000 --> 14:05.000
Are you mad? Why, that'd be suicide.

14:05.000 --> 14:07.000
You don't know until you've tried it, do you?

14:07.000 --> 14:10.000
You know, I think that's a very good idea of yours.

14:10.000 --> 14:13.000
Oh, so you want to see me killed, is that it?

14:13.000 --> 14:15.000
Is nothing sacred to you?

14:15.000 --> 14:16.000
A brother's honour.

14:16.000 --> 14:19.000
Oh, Paul, I hold that more sacred than anything else.

14:19.000 --> 14:23.000
That's why I shall issue the challenge in the morning on your behalf.

14:23.000 --> 14:24.000
On my behalf?

14:24.000 --> 14:25.000
Hey, hey!

14:25.000 --> 14:26.000
Hector is dead.

14:26.000 --> 14:27.000
What?

14:27.000 --> 14:29.000
How did this happen?

14:29.000 --> 14:30.000
This very day.

14:30.000 --> 14:32.000
I slew him after an hour or more of single combat.

14:32.000 --> 14:34.000
Oh, you did.

14:34.000 --> 14:35.000
Oh, dear.

14:35.000 --> 14:38.000
There's another good idea wasted.

14:38.000 --> 14:40.000
What do you mean, wasted?

14:40.000 --> 14:43.000
Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

14:43.000 --> 14:47.000
It's only that Menelaus was just about to challenge him.

14:47.000 --> 14:49.000
Don't think I'm not pleased with what you've done.

14:49.000 --> 14:50.000
I am.

14:50.000 --> 14:51.000
Sit down.

14:51.000 --> 14:52.000
Tell us all about it.

14:52.000 --> 14:55.000
But I have other more important news, and there isn't much time.

14:55.000 --> 14:56.000
What's more important than the death of Hector?

14:56.000 --> 15:01.000
At the height of my battle with Hector, there came a sudden lightning flash.

15:01.000 --> 15:03.000
And Zeus appeared before me.

15:03.000 --> 15:04.000
Zeus?

15:04.000 --> 15:05.000
Eh?

15:05.000 --> 15:06.000
It's all right.

15:06.000 --> 15:09.000
He's been listening to too much propaganda, haven't you, Achilles?

15:09.000 --> 15:11.000
You mustn't take so much notice of that.

15:11.000 --> 15:13.000
Look, I tell you it's true.

15:13.000 --> 15:18.000
He appeared to me from nowhere in the shape of a little old man.

15:18.000 --> 15:21.000
Where is he now, this little old Zeus?

15:21.000 --> 15:24.000
He was about to accompany me here when Odysseus and his men arrived.

15:24.000 --> 15:25.000
They took him prisoner.

15:25.000 --> 15:26.000
They what?

15:26.000 --> 15:27.000
Odysseus mocked him.

15:27.000 --> 15:29.000
Then they seized him and are bringing him to camp.

15:29.000 --> 15:31.000
I ran ahead to warn you.

15:31.000 --> 15:33.000
You did well.

15:33.000 --> 15:35.000
Odysseus, take Odysseus.

15:35.000 --> 15:38.000
He can't be too careful in matters like this.

15:38.000 --> 15:41.000
He may in fact be Zeus.

15:41.000 --> 15:42.000
Guard!

15:42.000 --> 15:44.000
Go find the Lord, Odysseus.

15:44.000 --> 15:46.000
Command his presence here.

15:46.000 --> 15:48.000
Who dares command Odysseus?

15:48.000 --> 15:49.000
What, I command not?

15:49.000 --> 15:50.000
Is it you?

15:50.000 --> 15:54.000
Well, we will not quarrel when we have a guest of such importance.

15:54.000 --> 15:56.000
Here's this old man.

15:56.000 --> 15:58.000
He's a young man, a young man.

15:58.000 --> 16:00.000
He's a young man.

16:00.000 --> 16:02.000
He's a young man.

16:02.000 --> 16:04.000
He's a young man.

16:04.000 --> 16:06.000
He's a young man.

16:06.000 --> 16:08.000
He's a young man.

16:08.000 --> 16:10.000
He's a young man.

16:10.000 --> 16:12.000
He's a young man.

16:12.000 --> 16:14.000
He's a young man.

16:14.000 --> 16:17.000
The Lord wants to be a prince of the world.

16:17.000 --> 16:23.000
Here's this old man, claims to be our father Zeus.

16:25.000 --> 16:28.000
You may rise.

16:28.000 --> 16:32.000
I am most displeased who is in command here.

16:32.000 --> 16:34.000
I have that honor.

16:34.000 --> 16:36.000
As I have always understood.

16:36.000 --> 16:41.000
Yet this Mountbank Odysseus appears to be a law unto himself.

16:41.000 --> 16:45.000
He will be reprimanded if you are indeed who you say you are.

16:45.000 --> 16:49.000
If I am not a god, how do you account for my supernatural knowledge?

16:49.000 --> 16:51.000
Knowledge of what?

16:51.000 --> 16:55.000
I could tell you one or two things that might surprise you.

16:55.000 --> 16:56.000
Name one.

16:56.000 --> 16:59.000
Your wife, for instance, is unfaithful to you.

16:59.000 --> 17:00.000
What?

17:00.000 --> 17:03.000
Everyone knows that.

17:03.000 --> 17:05.000
I've never heard it.

17:05.000 --> 17:08.000
Everyone that is except you and him, of course.

17:08.000 --> 17:09.000
Silence!

17:09.000 --> 17:13.000
I will not have my wife's name panned in a bottle like that.

17:13.000 --> 17:16.000
Besides, we have no way of checking on your slanderous assertions.

17:16.000 --> 17:19.000
Are you finally inspired or no?

17:19.000 --> 17:21.000
What do you advise?

17:21.000 --> 17:27.000
Then treat me with honor and return me to my temple before I really become angry.

17:27.000 --> 17:29.000
I tell you I commend one who has come to help us.

17:29.000 --> 17:35.000
If I were an enemy, what could one man do alone and unarmed against the glory that is Greece?

17:35.000 --> 17:37.000
Glory that is Greece?

17:37.000 --> 17:39.000
A neat phrase.

17:39.000 --> 17:40.000
The man is a spy.

17:40.000 --> 17:42.000
Deal with him and be brief, or I shall undertake it for you.

17:42.000 --> 17:44.000
After I am dead, Odysseus, and only dead.

17:44.000 --> 17:48.000
If you shall insist, I shall be most happy to oblige like fortune.

17:48.000 --> 17:49.000
Silence!

17:49.000 --> 17:51.000
This is time for thought, not swordplay.

17:51.000 --> 17:56.000
Since my thoughts are of such little account, allow me to withdraw.

17:56.000 --> 17:58.000
Forgive him, Father Zeus.

17:58.000 --> 18:00.000
The man is a bore.

18:00.000 --> 18:02.000
If you command me, I will deal with him in the guise...

18:02.000 --> 18:04.000
No, no, Achilles, leave him.

18:04.000 --> 18:07.000
Why try to kill him now, when you are in sight of victory?

18:07.000 --> 18:10.000
Do you prophesy as much as that?

18:10.000 --> 18:12.000
I could almost guarantee it.

18:12.000 --> 18:13.000
Almost?

18:13.000 --> 18:15.000
Oh, not another ten years.

18:15.000 --> 18:22.000
The first I would like to know, am I to be treated as a god or as an enemy?

18:22.000 --> 18:25.000
If you kill me now, it would probably cost you the war.

18:25.000 --> 18:27.000
Yes, that is so.

18:27.000 --> 18:31.000
On the other hand, if we don't kill you when you are a spy, the same thing might happen.

18:31.000 --> 18:34.000
I propose to place you under arrest.

18:34.000 --> 18:35.000
Arrest?

18:35.000 --> 18:39.000
But I must return to my tie... my temple.

18:39.000 --> 18:40.000
A reverend arrest.

18:40.000 --> 18:42.000
You must not be offended.

18:42.000 --> 18:45.000
We shall enjoy the benefit of your experience and your advice,

18:45.000 --> 18:48.000
and in return you will enjoy our hospitality.

18:48.000 --> 18:49.000
Very well.

18:49.000 --> 18:50.000
Excellent.

18:50.000 --> 19:19.000
Do sit down and have a hambo.

19:20.000 --> 19:21.000
Good-bye.

19:21.000 --> 19:22.000
Thank you.

19:22.000 --> 19:23.000
Good-bye.

19:53.000 --> 20:17.240
Do you believe that?

20:17.240 --> 20:21.360
Dad!

20:21.360 --> 20:23.360
My little Cyclops, what news?

20:24.360 --> 20:25.360
The stranger?

20:27.360 --> 20:30.360
Ah, the other stranger, another stranger.

20:33.360 --> 20:34.360
From the temple.

20:34.360 --> 20:35.360
Temple.

20:36.360 --> 20:37.360
In the camp.

20:39.360 --> 20:41.360
You think he is my enemy?

20:41.360 --> 20:42.360
You have done well.

20:42.360 --> 20:44.360
Now, my little Chatterbox, go back to your camp.

20:44.360 --> 20:45.360
I will be back.

20:46.360 --> 20:47.360
I will be back.

20:47.360 --> 20:50.360
He is my enemy. You have done well.

20:50.360 --> 20:52.360
Now, my little Chatterbox, go back to the temple.

20:52.360 --> 20:53.360
See what happens.

20:55.360 --> 20:56.360
Get your gun.

21:14.360 --> 21:15.360
What have we here?

21:15.360 --> 21:17.360
Another god, perhaps.

21:17.360 --> 21:19.360
No, I'm just a traveler.

21:19.360 --> 21:21.360
I lost my way and saw the light.

21:21.360 --> 21:24.360
At least the god Apollo to walk invisible past centuries.

21:24.360 --> 21:27.360
Centuries? I saw no centuries.

21:28.360 --> 21:31.360
Then perhaps they are sleeping with a knife between their ribs.

21:31.360 --> 21:33.360
Shall we go seek them together?

21:33.360 --> 21:35.360
For the way you saw it, I'm a friend.

21:35.360 --> 21:36.360
But a friend of whom?

21:36.360 --> 21:37.360
What do you mean?

21:38.360 --> 21:43.360
That god who feasts yonder, that Trojan spy?

21:43.360 --> 21:45.360
I don't know him.

21:45.360 --> 21:47.360
Do you not? We shall see.

21:50.360 --> 21:51.360
Who is this?

21:51.360 --> 21:55.360
My prisoner, the god Apollo Achilles. Will you not worship him?

21:55.360 --> 22:00.360
He is a Trojan spy, but of such undoubted divinity, he must be spared.

22:00.360 --> 22:02.360
Are you a Trojan fellow?

22:02.360 --> 22:03.360
No, of course not.

22:03.360 --> 22:05.360
I'm just a traveler of a sort.

22:06.360 --> 22:07.360
Do you know this man?

22:07.360 --> 22:13.360
Only for what he seems to be, an acquaintance from Olympus come to meet his father.

22:13.360 --> 22:16.360
My father! I've never seen him before in my life.

22:16.360 --> 22:19.360
Now shut up! Take him away, Odysseus.

22:19.360 --> 22:21.360
Why should I be troubled with such petty prisoners?

22:21.360 --> 22:24.360
Cut out his tongue for insolence and make an end.

22:24.360 --> 22:25.360
Roughly enough.

22:26.360 --> 22:32.360
All seeing Zeus, you see into our very hearts and know their secrets.

22:32.360 --> 22:33.360
Quite so.

22:33.360 --> 22:35.360
Then is this man a spy?

22:35.360 --> 22:38.360
I do not know and I do not care.

22:38.360 --> 22:40.360
Shall he then be put to death?

22:40.360 --> 22:43.360
I think it would be much safer on the whole.

22:43.360 --> 22:46.360
Stop! Have you lost your senses?

22:46.360 --> 22:50.360
Now we have it. On second thought, you think we should release him to return to Troy?

22:50.360 --> 22:53.360
Do not mock me, my lord Odysseus.

22:53.360 --> 22:58.360
Would you stain the tent of Agamemnon's with a Trojan's blood?

22:58.360 --> 23:01.360
I claim this man as a sacrifice to Olympus.

23:01.360 --> 23:07.360
Bring him to my temple in the plain at sunrise in the morning and I will show you a miracle.

23:07.360 --> 23:08.360
A miracle?

23:08.360 --> 23:10.360
Oh, that would be most satisfactory.

23:10.360 --> 23:12.360
Convincing proof, I would say.

23:12.360 --> 23:14.360
What sort of miracle would you...

23:14.360 --> 23:17.360
I will strike him with a bolt from heaven.

23:17.360 --> 23:18.360
Very spectacular.

23:19.360 --> 23:21.360
Ah, what's this? Who's this?

23:21.360 --> 23:22.360
Release him.

23:22.360 --> 23:24.360
My lord Odysseus, who is this man?

23:24.360 --> 23:26.360
My Cyclops, my little servant. So.

23:29.360 --> 23:30.360
Can he speak?

23:30.360 --> 23:31.360
Alas, no more.

23:31.360 --> 23:35.360
For once he spoke too loud for comfort and stabbed on a knife, but he speaks to me.

23:35.360 --> 23:37.360
Get you gone and wait for me.

23:37.360 --> 23:40.360
Thunder at the temple tomorrow, did you say?

23:40.360 --> 23:41.360
Yes, I did.

23:41.360 --> 23:43.360
Ah, weather is so unpredictable.

23:43.360 --> 23:47.360
If there is no thunder on the plain, I have a sword will serve for two as well as one.

23:47.360 --> 23:52.360
Your temple, as you call it, has disappeared.

23:53.360 --> 23:54.360
Disappeared?

23:54.360 --> 24:00.360
Vanished into thin air.

24:54.360 --> 25:00.360
The End
