The Odyssey (1997): Season 1, Episode 2 - Episode #1.2 - full transcript
Stay!
Stay!
Stay back!
This ram is not for you!
Stay!
Stay!
Stay!
Antiphus!
You must show me Tiresias.
Please!
Bring me to him.
You have risked much
to seek a blind prophet.
Tiresias!
Bring the ram forward,
offer it up.
First, show me the way.
You are a clever man,
Odysseus of Ithaca,
but not a very wise one.
You keep your eyes
only on your home.
Blinded, you do not see
that it is the journey itself
which makes up your life.
Only when you understand this
will you understand the meaning of wisdom.
No.
The wisdom.
I will find alone.
Help me find my way!
The answer has been before
your eyes, every night at sea.
On this side of Poseidon's realm,
there is a constellation which
never sinks beneath the horizon,
shapes like a hunter.
- The Orion.
- Yes!
Sail towards it's brightest star.
And there,
You will reach the Strait of Scylla
and Charybdis.
On one side,
there is a creature,
vile, ferocious.
That is Scylla.
Insatiable for blood,
she lurks in the shadows
hoping to fill her belly.
And the other?
A tidal pool, Charybdis.
Her waters appear calm.
She invites you in,
but she is a thing
of terror, Odysseus.
When she opens her gaping mouth,
you and all with you,
will be swallowed by her force!
Ha-ha-ha.
This way, my son.
- Mother.
- Yes, I am here.
Mother.
I took my own life
out of grief.
I could wait
no longer for you.
- Mother.
- Forgive me.
You must leave this place.
Where is Penelope?
- She is waiting for you.
- Where?
You must hurry.
Men are trying
to steal your world.
Penelope was alive
and waiting for me.
But my mother's words
burned my soul.
Men would stop at nothing
to steal my kingdom.
- Who's this thing?
- Look at this fool!
- You are Queen Penelope?
- I am the wife of king Odysseus.
I humbly...
I am humble...
What?
I am Elatus of Dulichium.
I own sheep
and pigs.
I have come
I am here
to join these noble men.
I bring gifts of
gold and wool, and music,
and jugglers to your palace.
Play!
You don't stand a chance.
The finest in Dulichium.
Woman!
Bring us more wine!
I hope my father
died a hero.
If he is alive,
he has forgotten me.
Come.
Come with me.
The day the gods gave you to us,
they took your father from me.
But he promised me, with you
lying here in my arms,
that he would return alive,
as this tree around which
we built own world is alive.
If he's alive,
why hasn't he come?
I know your father.
He is alive.
There is something you must know.
The day you father sailed,
I swore to him a promise
that if he had not returned
by the time you were a man,
beard on your chin,
that I must remarry.
I will keep my promise.
We have time to wait.
You do not have
your beard yet.
And these men?
I'll hold them off.
Take me to your mistress,
I need to talk to her.
Queen Penelope.
All here, believe Odysseus,
king of Ithaca is died.
Yes?
I do not.
Today, I will begin to weave
a shroud for my lost husband.
If he is not seen in
Ithaca before I finished
I will choose one of you to
take his place beside me.
I will send for maidens
to help you.
I alone, must do this work.
Weave alone?
We will be old man
by the time you finish.
You have brought gifts
to my door.
I have given you
a proper feast in return.
Now I depend on your Honor.
Return to your homes.
When my work is done,
you will hear my decision.
We will stay
where we are.
We will not leave here
until you choose.
Leave slowly.
Your husband's wine is very good.
Winter turn to summer
as we neared the Straits
of Scylla and Charybdis.
After a 16 year ordeal,
nothing could frighten me
or my warriors.
But we have never seen what
waited between those rocks.
Anticlus.
Light a torch.
There is nothing there.
Give me a torch!
Give me a torch!
Give me a torch!
- Elpenor!
- Push.
Get down!
Push! Push!
Is it in there?
- Oh no!
- No.
Come on!
Try me!
Polites.
Give it the goat.
Scylla.
Athena, protect us.
Push.
Push.
Push! Push!
Push!
Come on!
Come on!
Come on!
Try me.
AWWWWW!
Row!
Stay to the side!
Row for your lives!
Charybdis.
Hold on!
Climb!
Polites, climb!
Climb!
Anticlus!
Eurylochus.
Hold on!
Master!

- Ahhhhh!
- Polites!
Odysseus!
- Master! Master!

Eurybates!
Hold!
Hold!
Hold!

Anticlus.
- Master!
- Anticlus.
- Master!
- Hold on!
Hold on!
Master!
Awwwwwww!
Anticlus!
Eurybates!
Eurybates!
Eurycleia!
Can't you see?
The men are thirsty!
This tapestry will never be finish.
- I will take the work if you wish.
- No!
Lock the doors.
Mistress?
The door.
I will serve these
filthy strangers no longer.
Drinking, sleeping where they drop.
I have to crawl over that pig, Elatus,
each time I went open the treasury!
And to watch men
from our own island
eat you and Telemachus
out of house and home!
It's more than I can bear.
- At least there is life here now.
- Melanthe, quiet.
Yes, take care, you.
I have seen the way you went
after that snake, Eurymachus
He asked me to serve him.
- I cannot refuse my mistress's guest.
- Guest?
Guest leave
when ask.
We much longer
can we stand this?
- How much longer do we have to take, you pigs!
- Calm down, Eurycleia. Calm down.
- Stop it. Listen to me.
- You pigs!
Listen, I've ordered you!
Do not tempt me!
They will have no meat!
They will-They will go.
You can't drive them away.
They are man.
They will follow their empty bellies.
Penelope!
Penelope, I've won!
Me!
I've won!
Alone.
My men lost before my eyes.
I float endlessly on Poseidon sea.
Wondering when he will take my life.
People.
People.
Where am I?
You are safe.
- I need water.
- Bring him water.
I need a ship.
There are none here.
Huh?
No one comes or goes
from my island.
I must-I must
find a way home.
Water.
You are home.
Please do not mind my maids.
You are the first man
they have seen in their lives.
I myself, have not laid eyes on one
for over 100 years.
You are a goddess.
I am Calypso.
Come.
Rest.
It is only a dream.
No.
It's real.
My men.
My brothers.
They are lost.
- You must forget.
- No.
- No.
- Forget.
Telemachus!
What are you doing here
in the dark?
I got to kill Antinous.
All of them if I have to.
Calm yourself, Telemachus.
Antinous is a warrior,
he's been to battle.
He has cut man in two
with his sword!
- You have not done that yet.
- Now is the time.
No, it is not.
If you kill him,
the others will not leave.
You will give them an excuse
to turn against you.
Then tell me,
what can I do?
Do as your father would do.
Call on those who are
still loyal to him for help.
Me?
Call the assembly?
Who am I?
You know who you are.
You are Odysseus' son.
Call them here.
They will listen.
Ithaca has call!
All to the assembly!
Ithaca has call!
All to the assembly!
In the name of Athena...
In the name of Athena...
Hear me, good men!
Hear me!
I am Mentor,
keeper of the staff.
I have long, long, long
awaited for this day.
Mentor, let him speak.
Yeah.
Here.
Good men.
It is I, Prince Telemachus,
son of Odysseus,
King of Ithaca, who summoned you
to this place.
An army of suitors
has invaded my palace.
They slaughtered my oxen,
my pigs, my sheep to feast on.
Soon, I will have nothing
to eat myself.
They offer no proof
of my father's death,
yet seek to take his place.
And before my mother's eyes,
they beat my servants
and rape my maids!
I ask you.
Men of Ithaca.
In my father's name.
Help me rid my house
of these shameless thieves!
Good men!
Hear me!
The boy lies!
We suitors, have broken no law,
taken nothing which was
not rightfully ours!
Shame lies with his mother!
We brought our precious gifts,
and she took them with open arms!
Now she must choose between us
which is right.
This is your right.
She must choose.
Good men!
Not one of us
should spill blood over pigs and sheep.
Ah.
Yes?
- Yes!
- Yeah!
We can do no more.
Let us go.
- But my father...
- He's dead!
You want to kill me.
Kill me.
I can see it.
Wait, please!
Wait!
If you will not help me,
then give me a ship.
I will sail from Ithaca
and find my father.
It is no use, Telemachus.
Wait.
Wait.
The boy should not be punished.
If he wishes a ship,
we will give him a ship.
Elders?
- You will have your ship, Telemachus.
- You will have your ship, Telemachus!
Go and find your father.
- You have a reason for this?
- He will end like his father.
- And if he returns?
- We will greet him,
with the spear in his back.
When I touch you skin,
I wonder how you got this scar.
In Troy.
The day Achilles was
taken from us.
- From a battle.
- A wild boar.
I was 15...
and my mother cried
tears of happiness.
Over here!
Here!
Here!
Here!
Over here!
Here!
HERE!
HERE!
Bring him back!
You were going to leave without
even thanking me for my kindness.
Don't you see.
No one leaves my island!
And all that live here
exist to serve me.
There'll be another ship.
Perhaps, in another 10 years,
perhaps never.
Forget Ithaca.
You're home now.
You did not say goodbye
to your mother.
The sorrow
is on your face.
She'll try to stop me.
- You are right to fear the sea.
- I am not afraid!
I have never set foot
from Ithaca.
Do not worry.
The gods are watching you.
- With favor.
- Favor.
- They gods have cursed me.
- Oh, oh, oh.
- Since the day I was born.
- Ha-ha-ha.
- Let me alone.
- Heh-heh-heh.
Your head is as hard
as your father's.
Athena.
Uh-huh.
You?
A Mentor?
When I wish to be,
yes.
You spoke very well
at your assembly.
You kept your wits
and used them wisely
to get the ship.
But you did not help me.
You are your father's son.
Remember.
The gods will not do for man,
what man must do for himself.
You must make this journey.
This wind will take you.
Go.
Go, before the ship
sails without you.
I have never cross the sea.
Where should I go?
- Sparta!
- Sparta.
Sparta.
Menelaus!
What would I say
to such a man?
Use your wits.
I will guide you.
I cannot hear you!
I'm alone now.
For 2 more years,
Calypso's island was my prison.
Forgotten by the outside world,
abandon by Athena.
My hopes of ever
reaching Penelope
began to fade.
- Hermes.
- Non other.
Oh. Calypso, the concealer
is not overjoy to see me?
Get away from here.
Calypso.
I am only a messenger.
Who loves to bring
painful news.
You've keeping this man prisoner.
I have given him a home!
It is not Odysseus' fate
to end his days on your island.
You are to set him free
without delay.
These are the words from
the lips of Zeus himself.
Neither Zeus nor any god
pity Odysseus,
it is envy which
sends you here.
They are all outraged by me
openly making love to a mortal man.
- Choosing him as my husband.
- Calypso.
It is I, who pulled him
from the sea,
who tended to his wounds.
You're all are jealous
of my happiness!
Do not incur Zeus's wrath.
Offer this man his freedom
or your island will be driven
to the bottom of Poseidon sea.
Farewell!
Stop it!
Go home to your Penelope.
Why?
Is there a ship?
No.
Now, go!
Swim.
I do not care.
They will not try to stop you.
Just leave my eyes!
A moment ago, you left this cave
with so much love in your eyes.
Now, you want me to leave?
You are no longer
worthy of me.
Why weave that?
Dis someone come to you?
Was it Hermes?
You must help me
build a ship.
Please.
Please.
On the far side of the island,
in a cave there is dry wood.
Washed onto the shore
as you were,
as you were.
Here, boy.
Here, boy.
Take this.
Take this.
Tender meat.
Oh!
Tender meat.
I will find my own.
You are not afraid of me.
Because you are a woman.
I only wanted to
offer you some wine.
Just a taste.
Tell me.
What keeps your mistress
from finishing her tapestry?
More.
Come on, where is that girl?
It is a secret.
It is a secret.
Melanthe?
Melanthe, where are you?
Where's the boy?
Send the boy.
Go on, boy.
Go.
Melanthe, where are you?
Melanthe!
So it is true.
I do not mean to frighten you
tend to your room
but I
had to see.
Oh, my.
Leave me.
It is a mistake.
Now, your deceit can
only bring trouble.
I will not speak a word,
but your maid,
she may tell another.
Melanthe.
I have no choice.
You will not trick
them much longer.
It has been too long
since you felt a man's touch.
16 years.
Longer.
Take my.
End this siege tonight.
These other men,
they come for your fortune.
I come for you.
I cannot.
I love my husband.
Your husband
is not alive.
I will wait
for his return,
or till my son brings proof.
I am sorry.
It is I,
who have no choice.
I am sorry.
You may stay
if you choose to.
You wife has aged
during these years, Odysseus.
She will not match my beauty.
No mortal woman
could ever match you.
I love Penelope.
And she has aged
as I have.
And when I reach Ithaca
we will grow old together.
With me, you will
never grow old.
Never die!
I can make you immortal!
I would rather lie in my wife's arms
for one moment as a man,
than to live forever without her.
Who is this boy, my son brings?
Telemachus of Ithaca, Highness.
Welcome to Sparta, stranger.
There is the king.
Now, go.
Good king Menelaus.
I've traveled long
and far to meet you.
Oh. You have your father's
searching eyes
The same thoughtful forehead.
Yes.
Oh, yes.
You are Odysseus' son,
you are his son.
I sailed from Ithaca
to find him.
Can you help me?
You know.
I saw you on the day
you were born.
It was the proudest and most
painful day of your father's life.
We fought at Troy,
side by side.
Watching our brothers fall.
Your father stopped the slaughter.
He freed us
to return to Greece.
But...
he will never
see his home again.
He's dead.
How can you know?
Not one day,
not one hour
pass for Odysseus of Troy,
with you and your mother
in his heart.
Only death
could stop him
returning to Ithaca.
But you...
You, Telemachus,
you must return.
You must fight
for what is his.
and yours.
Now,
go.
Poseidon!
Poseidon!
Poseidon!
What do you want?
Poseidon!
What do you want from me?
I want you to suffer
much more.
I have nothing left!
I have nothing!
All that is left is my life!
My goal
is not to kill you.
You must understand.
What?
What?
What?
What?
What do you want from me?
What do you want
me to understand?
Speak to me!
Speak to me!
That without gods,
man is nothing.
Quickly, Quickly.
Come and see!
Come and see.
Look!
I was alive.
Broken by Poseidon's waves
and still far from Ithaca,
but I was alive.
I have reached Phaeacia,
the land of mariners and fishermen.
Unsure whether I will be welcomed,
I was lead to the
palace of their ruler,
the powerful king...
Alcinous.
I shared with you my food.
Now, will you share with me
- your name?
- I cannot.
My name has long been cursed.
To let it leave my lips
would only cause you pain.
I know only
one long lost hero,
who being curse by
the gods could survive.
It's cunning Odysseus.
I am he.
I never dreamed I would
see Odysseus himself.
It's an honor
to all Phaeacie
that such a hero as Odysseus
of Ithaca, sits among us.
I will give my finest ship
heavy with gifts and food,
and the finest mariners of all Phaeacie,
to sail you safely home.
The Phaeacians carried me
towards Ithaca.
But it was Poseidon,
who allowed me
to continue my journey
to consider his words.
I understood that I was
only 1 man in the world.
Nothing more
and nothing less.
4th night without a sleep.
His body will fail him in Ithaca.
Pontonous!
Come here!
Blend a sleeping potion.
Here.
Drink this.
Who's there?
My cheese.
Master.
My wine.
Master, it's you.
My bread.
Master.
You're alive.
Eumaeus.
I...
am alive.
Eumaeus!
Who is that?
Your son.
- He left a year ago to look for you.
- Go. Go, bring him here.
Telemachus.
You're safe!
- Yes.
- Look at you!
- Tell me. How's my mother?
- She will be overjoy to see you.
But come,
tell me of your journey.
Later, I must go to her.
Telemachus!
Who is it?
Who is there?
It is your father.
Do not dare say those words!
Come out of there!
What trick is this?
It's not a trick.
You cannot be my father.
- Odysseus is dead!
- Odysseus is alive
and he's standing before you.
Stay back!
Please.
Look at me.
Do you see yourself
in my face?
I see only a man,
with no respect for a son's feelings.
No, no.
You are my son,
and these are the hands, here,
which brought you
into this world, here.
In this field, no?
I held you
for all the world to see.
I showed you Ithaca.
I showed you your home
for the first time.
And then I was taken
from you and your mother.
I placed you in her arms
in our bed
which I give her to
with these hands.
She must have told you this.
Father.
My boy.
Father.
And it makes myself sick!
These men have got black hearts!
They fear nothing!
- They will all run like dogs now.
- Yes!
- They deserve to die!
- Yes!
Antinous most of all.
Eumaeus, bring them food
for the feast.
I'll never feed them again.
Never!
You... will do
as you have always done.
Do you trust your crew?
No.
They were given to me
out of the suitors men.
Tell them you will
join them later.
But tell no one
I have come.
Especially your mother.
Have patience.
Ease your mind.
That's why I love you,
my Odysseus.
Any other man,
after so many years,
would have rushed home to
embrace his wife and children.
And blinded by his impatience, would have
been hacked in two by the intruders.
Only you know better.
Then, tell me,
how do I still keep my life
and free my house of these men?
Are these suitors what
you are truly afraid of?
There is nothing left
for me to fear.
You see me trembling.
- I tremble with rage.
- Oh. You still lie well, my Odysseus.
But I know what
your head ask your heart.
You are afraid your Penelope
has been untrue to you.
I need to know if
her heart is still with me.
That, I cannot help you with.
But.
Only your son will
recognize you this way.
Go to your palace.
Find the answers you seek.
You will not know your house when
you see what they have done.
You want to kill
as much as I do!
It is not the time to fight.
You must learn
to be angry is easy
but to be angry
at the right man
at the right time
and for the right reason,
this is difficult.
- Do you understand?
- Yes.
Repeat!
Quiet!
Our prince
has shown his face.
With an old beggar
at his side.
He is mine! I will cut out his heart
and feed it to the dogs.
Calm yourself, think.
He must attack first,
or all Ithaca will rise against us.
He'll never do it.
My voice makes him tremble.
Prince Telemachus.
Welcome home.
The gods have delivered you safely.
He went for his father
and found a filthy beggar!
Tell us, why have you
given up your search?
I sailed to Sparta, and heard
the words from king Menelaus' lips.
I believe my father lies
at the bottom of the sea.
Ah.
He finally understands.
And you see,
we have..
certain rights
in your home.
Yes.
The boy prince has returned
home as a man of honor!
And look!
He even has his beard.
His first beard.
Weak,
but it is a beard.
It is time for you to enter the ring.
Enter into manhood.
I will accept
any challenge you offer.
- But now I must be with my mother.
- His mother.
Until then, this beggar
is a guest in my house.
Feed him generously.
Bring your bowl.
They will serve you.
You see.
I delivered the boy to you.
- I cannot kill him in the ring!
- You can.
As long as he tries
to kill you first.
I did not find him.
But I know
my father is alive.
Mother, you must hear me.
I brought a wise old man.
A beggar.
He may help us find father.
When the palace sleeps,
I will let you see him.
Now I must go.
Antinous has challenged me.
And as a man,
I must accept.
Yes.
You are a man now.
- Yeah!
- Yeah.
Know your place, beggar!
You first scar!
Fight for your life!
Do not take this humiliation.
Take this.
Today is the day.
Antinous!
You're dead!
Come here!
Kill me.
Kill me!
You've wanted to for 3 years!
Are you man enough?
NO-OOO!
To be angry is easy!
Come here.
Kill me!
It's not the right time.
Go on, coward.
Attack me!
- I will survive.
- There is no shame.
Tend your wounds.
Tell your mother
you conquered your anger.
Go.
My mistress sent me
to tend to you.
Her son told her.
Thank you for saving his life.
You love this boy?
His father left him in my care,
the day he was born.
That scar.
I know that scar.
Master.
Do not speak one word,
or all is lost.
Eurycleia!
Queen...
Penelope.
I wanted to thank you.
And to tell you
that I was sorry you were
treated poorly in my house.
There is no need.
I'm here for a night.
For you, trapped in this palace,
it must
must be an anarchy.
Yes.
I must end this misery
while my son is still alive.
Tomorrow.
I will set a contest
for my hand.
And you are right
to wish for a new husband.
I do not wish it.
But
the day Odysseus left,
he...
he took my
by my hand
here, right here,
so gently
and
he asked me to promise
that I would do this.
This is the last sacrifice
I can make for him.
He's alive, Odysseus.
He's alive.
He knows
your sorrow,
your pain,
and he longs
to touch your hands
and hold you in his eyes.
Kiss your lips.
He will come to defend you.
You will see.
He will come.
If only it were true.
Good night.
Tomorrow!
I will take my world
back.
Get the spears.
Bring the grape!
Bring it over here.
Ah.
Philotus.
What are these axes?
Philotus.
The goatherd, he's with us.
He may be trusted.
Tell us, shepherd!
What is your mistress's plan?
I will tell you all.
This is the bow of Odysseus,
king of Ithaca.
The man who strings it
and shoots an arrow cleanly
through all 12 axes,
will take his place.
What?
This is no way to choose.
It cannot be done!
My father did it.
- Huh?
- Maybe he can do it.
Wait!
Wait.
You will not see the winner.
You all are the same to me.
Oh.
Ha ha ha.
It's not fair!
I have never strung a bow.
This is not right!
I gave up 50 sheep,
a hundred goats,
- as gifts from Dulichium!
- And return there then, fool.
It's impossible.
- He would be able to do it!
- I'll enjoy it.
Only 2 tries, Eurymahcus.
- You can't do it!
- Come on.
No.
No, he's going.
- Come on. You're nearly there.
- No!
- Ha-ha-ha!
- Eh-ha-ha...
Farewell, Odysseus.
I have been
true to my word.
Telemachus has ordered us
to the main chambers.
We are to lock ourselves in.
Hurry.
Hurry.
Hide them.
Hide them, hurry.
Athena be with us.
I've waited long enough!
Give it here, weakling.
Now, watch this.
Come on, Antinous.
Let's see you do it.
- Come on!
- Come on.
- Come on!
- Give it a go!
Oh!
Come on, now!
If I cannot do it,
no man alive can!
- No. Impossible.
- It's impossible.
And what about
a man who is dead?
What are you doing?
Don't be foolish.
Who are you, old man?
Do you know me now?
Odysseus.
Odysseus
Telemachus.
Now is the right time
to use your anger.
AAAWWWWW !!
Aww!
Wait!
Wait!
Wait!
WAIT!
What is our crime?
We treated your wife
as a queen.
We lived off your land,
but that can be replaced.
We did not
kill anyone.
You crime is that
you try to steal my world.
The world I built
with my hands
and my sweat
Now, anyone...
... and my blood.
The world I shared
with a woman
who bore me my son,
and no one
will ever
take that from me!
Now you will die
to a man
in a river of blood.
A river of blood!
The spear!
We cannot die like lambs!
Open the door!
Your masters are not
worth dieing for.
Melanthe!
Open the doors!
Melanthe!
Melanthe!
Open the doors!
No!
No!
Father!
Ah.
Don't let your mother's
eyes fall on this room.
When it is cleansed...
you tell her I'm home.
Odysseus!
( Athena. )
I will never leave you.
How much I must have changed.
No.
You are still the same.
You're still a liar, Odysseus.
It's 20 years since you
held me in your eyes.
That was only one day.
And in one day
you've seen all the world.
Yes.
And it's mostly
sacred and beautiful,
but nothing as beautiful
as a man's own world.
That he can take in his hands
and it will always be his.
You are my world.

Stay!
Stay back!
This ram is not for you!
Stay!
Stay!
Stay!
Antiphus!
You must show me Tiresias.
Please!
Bring me to him.
You have risked much
to seek a blind prophet.
Tiresias!
Bring the ram forward,
offer it up.
First, show me the way.
You are a clever man,
Odysseus of Ithaca,
but not a very wise one.
You keep your eyes
only on your home.
Blinded, you do not see
that it is the journey itself
which makes up your life.
Only when you understand this
will you understand the meaning of wisdom.
No.
The wisdom.
I will find alone.
Help me find my way!
The answer has been before
your eyes, every night at sea.
On this side of Poseidon's realm,
there is a constellation which
never sinks beneath the horizon,
shapes like a hunter.
- The Orion.
- Yes!
Sail towards it's brightest star.
And there,
You will reach the Strait of Scylla
and Charybdis.
On one side,
there is a creature,
vile, ferocious.
That is Scylla.
Insatiable for blood,
she lurks in the shadows
hoping to fill her belly.
And the other?
A tidal pool, Charybdis.
Her waters appear calm.
She invites you in,
but she is a thing
of terror, Odysseus.
When she opens her gaping mouth,
you and all with you,
will be swallowed by her force!
Ha-ha-ha.
This way, my son.
- Mother.
- Yes, I am here.
Mother.
I took my own life
out of grief.
I could wait
no longer for you.
- Mother.
- Forgive me.
You must leave this place.
Where is Penelope?
- She is waiting for you.
- Where?
You must hurry.
Men are trying
to steal your world.
Penelope was alive
and waiting for me.
But my mother's words
burned my soul.
Men would stop at nothing
to steal my kingdom.
- Who's this thing?
- Look at this fool!
- You are Queen Penelope?
- I am the wife of king Odysseus.
I humbly...
I am humble...
What?
I am Elatus of Dulichium.
I own sheep
and pigs.
I have come
I am here
to join these noble men.
I bring gifts of
gold and wool, and music,
and jugglers to your palace.
Play!
You don't stand a chance.
The finest in Dulichium.
Woman!
Bring us more wine!
I hope my father
died a hero.
If he is alive,
he has forgotten me.
Come.
Come with me.
The day the gods gave you to us,
they took your father from me.
But he promised me, with you
lying here in my arms,
that he would return alive,
as this tree around which
we built own world is alive.
If he's alive,
why hasn't he come?
I know your father.
He is alive.
There is something you must know.
The day you father sailed,
I swore to him a promise
that if he had not returned
by the time you were a man,
beard on your chin,
that I must remarry.
I will keep my promise.
We have time to wait.
You do not have
your beard yet.
And these men?
I'll hold them off.
Take me to your mistress,
I need to talk to her.
Queen Penelope.
All here, believe Odysseus,
king of Ithaca is died.
Yes?
I do not.
Today, I will begin to weave
a shroud for my lost husband.
If he is not seen in
Ithaca before I finished
I will choose one of you to
take his place beside me.
I will send for maidens
to help you.
I alone, must do this work.
Weave alone?
We will be old man
by the time you finish.
You have brought gifts
to my door.
I have given you
a proper feast in return.
Now I depend on your Honor.
Return to your homes.
When my work is done,
you will hear my decision.
We will stay
where we are.
We will not leave here
until you choose.
Leave slowly.
Your husband's wine is very good.
Winter turn to summer
as we neared the Straits
of Scylla and Charybdis.
After a 16 year ordeal,
nothing could frighten me
or my warriors.
But we have never seen what
waited between those rocks.
Anticlus.
Light a torch.
There is nothing there.
Give me a torch!
Give me a torch!
Give me a torch!
- Elpenor!
- Push.
Get down!
Push! Push!
Is it in there?
- Oh no!
- No.
Come on!
Try me!
Polites.
Give it the goat.
Scylla.
Athena, protect us.
Push.
Push.
Push! Push!
Push!
Come on!
Come on!
Come on!
Try me.
AWWWWW!
Row!
Stay to the side!
Row for your lives!
Charybdis.
Hold on!
Climb!
Polites, climb!
Climb!
Anticlus!
Eurylochus.
Hold on!
Master!
Master!
- Ahhhhh!
- Polites!
Odysseus!
- Master! Master!
- Eurybates!
Eurybates!
Hold!
Hold!
Hold!
Hold!
Anticlus.
- Master!
- Anticlus.
- Master!
- Hold on!
Hold on!
Master!
Awwwwwww!
Anticlus!
Eurybates!
Eurybates!
Eurycleia!
Can't you see?
The men are thirsty!
This tapestry will never be finish.
- I will take the work if you wish.
- No!
Lock the doors.
Mistress?
The door.
I will serve these
filthy strangers no longer.
Drinking, sleeping where they drop.
I have to crawl over that pig, Elatus,
each time I went open the treasury!
And to watch men
from our own island
eat you and Telemachus
out of house and home!
It's more than I can bear.
- At least there is life here now.
- Melanthe, quiet.
Yes, take care, you.
I have seen the way you went
after that snake, Eurymachus
He asked me to serve him.
- I cannot refuse my mistress's guest.
- Guest?
Guest leave
when ask.
We much longer
can we stand this?
- How much longer do we have to take, you pigs!
- Calm down, Eurycleia. Calm down.
- Stop it. Listen to me.
- You pigs!
Listen, I've ordered you!
Do not tempt me!
They will have no meat!
They will-They will go.
You can't drive them away.
They are man.
They will follow their empty bellies.
Penelope!
Penelope, I've won!
Me!
I've won!
Alone.
My men lost before my eyes.
I float endlessly on Poseidon sea.
Wondering when he will take my life.
People.
People.
Where am I?
You are safe.
- I need water.
- Bring him water.
I need a ship.
There are none here.
Huh?
No one comes or goes
from my island.
I must-I must
find a way home.
Water.
You are home.
Please do not mind my maids.
You are the first man
they have seen in their lives.
I myself, have not laid eyes on one
for over 100 years.
You are a goddess.
I am Calypso.
Come.
Rest.
It is only a dream.
No.
It's real.
My men.
My brothers.
They are lost.
- You must forget.
- No.
- No.
- Forget.
Telemachus!
What are you doing here
in the dark?
I got to kill Antinous.
All of them if I have to.
Calm yourself, Telemachus.
Antinous is a warrior,
he's been to battle.
He has cut man in two
with his sword!
- You have not done that yet.
- Now is the time.
No, it is not.
If you kill him,
the others will not leave.
You will give them an excuse
to turn against you.
Then tell me,
what can I do?
Do as your father would do.
Call on those who are
still loyal to him for help.
Me?
Call the assembly?
Who am I?
You know who you are.
You are Odysseus' son.
Call them here.
They will listen.
Ithaca has call!
All to the assembly!
Ithaca has call!
All to the assembly!
In the name of Athena...
In the name of Athena...
Hear me, good men!
Hear me!
I am Mentor,
keeper of the staff.
I have long, long, long
awaited for this day.
Mentor, let him speak.
Yeah.
Here.
Good men.
It is I, Prince Telemachus,
son of Odysseus,
King of Ithaca, who summoned you
to this place.
An army of suitors
has invaded my palace.
They slaughtered my oxen,
my pigs, my sheep to feast on.
Soon, I will have nothing
to eat myself.
They offer no proof
of my father's death,
yet seek to take his place.
And before my mother's eyes,
they beat my servants
and rape my maids!
I ask you.
Men of Ithaca.
In my father's name.
Help me rid my house
of these shameless thieves!
Good men!
Hear me!
The boy lies!
We suitors, have broken no law,
taken nothing which was
not rightfully ours!
Shame lies with his mother!
We brought our precious gifts,
and she took them with open arms!
Now she must choose between us
which is right.
This is your right.
She must choose.
Good men!
Not one of us
should spill blood over pigs and sheep.
Ah.
Yes?
- Yes!
- Yeah!
We can do no more.
Let us go.
- But my father...
- He's dead!
You want to kill me.
Kill me.
I can see it.
Wait, please!
Wait!
If you will not help me,
then give me a ship.
I will sail from Ithaca
and find my father.
It is no use, Telemachus.
Wait.
Wait.
The boy should not be punished.
If he wishes a ship,
we will give him a ship.
Elders?
- You will have your ship, Telemachus.
- You will have your ship, Telemachus!
Go and find your father.
- You have a reason for this?
- He will end like his father.
- And if he returns?
- We will greet him,
with the spear in his back.
When I touch you skin,
I wonder how you got this scar.
In Troy.
The day Achilles was
taken from us.
- From a battle.
- A wild boar.
I was 15...
and my mother cried
tears of happiness.
Over here!
Here!
Here!
Here!
Over here!
Here!
HERE!
HERE!
Bring him back!
You were going to leave without
even thanking me for my kindness.
Don't you see.
No one leaves my island!
And all that live here
exist to serve me.
There'll be another ship.
Perhaps, in another 10 years,
perhaps never.
Forget Ithaca.
You're home now.
You did not say goodbye
to your mother.
The sorrow
is on your face.
She'll try to stop me.
- You are right to fear the sea.
- I am not afraid!
I have never set foot
from Ithaca.
Do not worry.
The gods are watching you.
- With favor.
- Favor.
- They gods have cursed me.
- Oh, oh, oh.
- Since the day I was born.
- Ha-ha-ha.
- Let me alone.
- Heh-heh-heh.
Your head is as hard
as your father's.
Athena.
Uh-huh.
You?
A Mentor?
When I wish to be,
yes.
You spoke very well
at your assembly.
You kept your wits
and used them wisely
to get the ship.
But you did not help me.
You are your father's son.
Remember.
The gods will not do for man,
what man must do for himself.
You must make this journey.
This wind will take you.
Go.
Go, before the ship
sails without you.
I have never cross the sea.
Where should I go?
- Sparta!
- Sparta.
Sparta.
Menelaus!
What would I say
to such a man?
Use your wits.
I will guide you.
I cannot hear you!
I'm alone now.
For 2 more years,
Calypso's island was my prison.
Forgotten by the outside world,
abandon by Athena.
My hopes of ever
reaching Penelope
began to fade.
- Hermes.
- Non other.
Oh. Calypso, the concealer
is not overjoy to see me?
Get away from here.
Calypso.
I am only a messenger.
Who loves to bring
painful news.
You've keeping this man prisoner.
I have given him a home!
It is not Odysseus' fate
to end his days on your island.
You are to set him free
without delay.
These are the words from
the lips of Zeus himself.
Neither Zeus nor any god
pity Odysseus,
it is envy which
sends you here.
They are all outraged by me
openly making love to a mortal man.
- Choosing him as my husband.
- Calypso.
It is I, who pulled him
from the sea,
who tended to his wounds.
You're all are jealous
of my happiness!
Do not incur Zeus's wrath.
Offer this man his freedom
or your island will be driven
to the bottom of Poseidon sea.
Farewell!
Stop it!
Go home to your Penelope.
Why?
Is there a ship?
No.
Now, go!
Swim.
I do not care.
They will not try to stop you.
Just leave my eyes!
A moment ago, you left this cave
with so much love in your eyes.
Now, you want me to leave?
You are no longer
worthy of me.
Why weave that?
Dis someone come to you?
Was it Hermes?
You must help me
build a ship.
Please.
Please.
On the far side of the island,
in a cave there is dry wood.
Washed onto the shore
as you were,
as you were.
Here, boy.
Here, boy.
Take this.
Take this.
Tender meat.
Oh!
Tender meat.
I will find my own.
You are not afraid of me.
Because you are a woman.
I only wanted to
offer you some wine.
Just a taste.
Tell me.
What keeps your mistress
from finishing her tapestry?
More.
Come on, where is that girl?
It is a secret.
It is a secret.
Melanthe?
Melanthe, where are you?
Where's the boy?
Send the boy.
Go on, boy.
Go.
Melanthe, where are you?
Melanthe!
So it is true.
I do not mean to frighten you
tend to your room
but I
had to see.
Oh, my.
Leave me.
It is a mistake.
Now, your deceit can
only bring trouble.
I will not speak a word,
but your maid,
she may tell another.
Melanthe.
I have no choice.
You will not trick
them much longer.
It has been too long
since you felt a man's touch.
16 years.
Longer.
Take my.
End this siege tonight.
These other men,
they come for your fortune.
I come for you.
I cannot.
I love my husband.
Your husband
is not alive.
I will wait
for his return,
or till my son brings proof.
I am sorry.
It is I,
who have no choice.
I am sorry.
You may stay
if you choose to.
You wife has aged
during these years, Odysseus.
She will not match my beauty.
No mortal woman
could ever match you.
I love Penelope.
And she has aged
as I have.
And when I reach Ithaca
we will grow old together.
With me, you will
never grow old.
Never die!
I can make you immortal!
I would rather lie in my wife's arms
for one moment as a man,
than to live forever without her.
Who is this boy, my son brings?
Telemachus of Ithaca, Highness.
Welcome to Sparta, stranger.
There is the king.
Now, go.
Good king Menelaus.
I've traveled long
and far to meet you.
Oh. You have your father's
searching eyes
The same thoughtful forehead.
Yes.
Oh, yes.
You are Odysseus' son,
you are his son.
I sailed from Ithaca
to find him.
Can you help me?
You know.
I saw you on the day
you were born.
It was the proudest and most
painful day of your father's life.
We fought at Troy,
side by side.
Watching our brothers fall.
Your father stopped the slaughter.
He freed us
to return to Greece.
But...
he will never
see his home again.
He's dead.
How can you know?
Not one day,
not one hour
pass for Odysseus of Troy,
with you and your mother
in his heart.
Only death
could stop him
returning to Ithaca.
But you...
You, Telemachus,
you must return.
You must fight
for what is his.
and yours.
Now,
go.
Poseidon!
Poseidon!
Poseidon!
What do you want?
Poseidon!
What do you want from me?
I want you to suffer
much more.
I have nothing left!
I have nothing!
All that is left is my life!
My goal
is not to kill you.
You must understand.
What?
What?
What?
What?
What do you want from me?
What do you want
me to understand?
Speak to me!
Speak to me!
That without gods,
man is nothing.
Quickly, Quickly.
Come and see!
Come and see.
Look!
I was alive.
Broken by Poseidon's waves
and still far from Ithaca,
but I was alive.
I have reached Phaeacia,
the land of mariners and fishermen.
Unsure whether I will be welcomed,
I was lead to the
palace of their ruler,
the powerful king...
Alcinous.
I shared with you my food.
Now, will you share with me
- your name?
- I cannot.
My name has long been cursed.
To let it leave my lips
would only cause you pain.
I know only
one long lost hero,
who being curse by
the gods could survive.
It's cunning Odysseus.
I am he.
I never dreamed I would
see Odysseus himself.
It's an honor
to all Phaeacie
that such a hero as Odysseus
of Ithaca, sits among us.
I will give my finest ship
heavy with gifts and food,
and the finest mariners of all Phaeacie,
to sail you safely home.
The Phaeacians carried me
towards Ithaca.
But it was Poseidon,
who allowed me
to continue my journey
to consider his words.
I understood that I was
only 1 man in the world.
Nothing more
and nothing less.
4th night without a sleep.
His body will fail him in Ithaca.
Pontonous!
Come here!
Blend a sleeping potion.
Here.
Drink this.
Who's there?
My cheese.
Master.
My wine.
Master, it's you.
My bread.
Master.
You're alive.
Eumaeus.
I...
am alive.
Eumaeus!
Who is that?
Your son.
- He left a year ago to look for you.
- Go. Go, bring him here.
Telemachus.
You're safe!
- Yes.
- Look at you!
- Tell me. How's my mother?
- She will be overjoy to see you.
But come,
tell me of your journey.
Later, I must go to her.
Telemachus!
Who is it?
Who is there?
It is your father.
Do not dare say those words!
Come out of there!
What trick is this?
It's not a trick.
You cannot be my father.
- Odysseus is dead!
- Odysseus is alive
and he's standing before you.
Stay back!
Please.
Look at me.
Do you see yourself
in my face?
I see only a man,
with no respect for a son's feelings.
No, no.
You are my son,
and these are the hands, here,
which brought you
into this world, here.
In this field, no?
I held you
for all the world to see.
I showed you Ithaca.
I showed you your home
for the first time.
And then I was taken
from you and your mother.
I placed you in her arms
in our bed
which I give her to
with these hands.
She must have told you this.
Father.
My boy.
Father.
And it makes myself sick!
These men have got black hearts!
They fear nothing!
- They will all run like dogs now.
- Yes!
- They deserve to die!
- Yes!
Antinous most of all.
Eumaeus, bring them food
for the feast.
I'll never feed them again.
Never!
You... will do
as you have always done.
Do you trust your crew?
No.
They were given to me
out of the suitors men.
Tell them you will
join them later.
But tell no one
I have come.
Especially your mother.
Have patience.
Ease your mind.
That's why I love you,
my Odysseus.
Any other man,
after so many years,
would have rushed home to
embrace his wife and children.
And blinded by his impatience, would have
been hacked in two by the intruders.
Only you know better.
Then, tell me,
how do I still keep my life
and free my house of these men?
Are these suitors what
you are truly afraid of?
There is nothing left
for me to fear.
You see me trembling.
- I tremble with rage.
- Oh. You still lie well, my Odysseus.
But I know what
your head ask your heart.
You are afraid your Penelope
has been untrue to you.
I need to know if
her heart is still with me.
That, I cannot help you with.
But.
Only your son will
recognize you this way.
Go to your palace.
Find the answers you seek.
You will not know your house when
you see what they have done.
You want to kill
as much as I do!
It is not the time to fight.
You must learn
to be angry is easy
but to be angry
at the right man
at the right time
and for the right reason,
this is difficult.
- Do you understand?
- Yes.
Repeat!
Quiet!
Our prince
has shown his face.
With an old beggar
at his side.
He is mine! I will cut out his heart
and feed it to the dogs.
Calm yourself, think.
He must attack first,
or all Ithaca will rise against us.
He'll never do it.
My voice makes him tremble.
Prince Telemachus.
Welcome home.
The gods have delivered you safely.
He went for his father
and found a filthy beggar!
Tell us, why have you
given up your search?
I sailed to Sparta, and heard
the words from king Menelaus' lips.
I believe my father lies
at the bottom of the sea.
Ah.
He finally understands.
And you see,
we have..
certain rights
in your home.
Yes.
The boy prince has returned
home as a man of honor!
And look!
He even has his beard.
His first beard.
Weak,
but it is a beard.
It is time for you to enter the ring.
Enter into manhood.
I will accept
any challenge you offer.
- But now I must be with my mother.
- His mother.
Until then, this beggar
is a guest in my house.
Feed him generously.
Bring your bowl.
They will serve you.
You see.
I delivered the boy to you.
- I cannot kill him in the ring!
- You can.
As long as he tries
to kill you first.
I did not find him.
But I know
my father is alive.
Mother, you must hear me.
I brought a wise old man.
A beggar.
He may help us find father.
When the palace sleeps,
I will let you see him.
Now I must go.
Antinous has challenged me.
And as a man,
I must accept.
Yes.
You are a man now.
- Yeah!
- Yeah.
Know your place, beggar!
You first scar!
Fight for your life!
Do not take this humiliation.
Take this.
Today is the day.
Antinous!
You're dead!
Come here!
Kill me.
Kill me!
You've wanted to for 3 years!
Are you man enough?
NO-OOO!
To be angry is easy!
Come here.
Kill me!
It's not the right time.
Go on, coward.
Attack me!
- I will survive.
- There is no shame.
Tend your wounds.
Tell your mother
you conquered your anger.
Go.
My mistress sent me
to tend to you.
Her son told her.
Thank you for saving his life.
You love this boy?
His father left him in my care,
the day he was born.
That scar.
I know that scar.
Master.
Do not speak one word,
or all is lost.
Eurycleia!
Queen...
Penelope.
I wanted to thank you.
And to tell you
that I was sorry you were
treated poorly in my house.
There is no need.
I'm here for a night.
For you, trapped in this palace,
it must
must be an anarchy.
Yes.
I must end this misery
while my son is still alive.
Tomorrow.
I will set a contest
for my hand.
And you are right
to wish for a new husband.
I do not wish it.
But
the day Odysseus left,
he...
he took my
by my hand
here, right here,
so gently
and
he asked me to promise
that I would do this.
This is the last sacrifice
I can make for him.
He's alive, Odysseus.
He's alive.
He knows
your sorrow,
your pain,
and he longs
to touch your hands
and hold you in his eyes.
Kiss your lips.
He will come to defend you.
You will see.
He will come.
If only it were true.
Good night.
Tomorrow!
I will take my world
back.
Get the spears.
Bring the grape!
Bring it over here.
Ah.
Philotus.
What are these axes?
Philotus.
The goatherd, he's with us.
He may be trusted.
Tell us, shepherd!
What is your mistress's plan?
I will tell you all.
This is the bow of Odysseus,
king of Ithaca.
The man who strings it
and shoots an arrow cleanly
through all 12 axes,
will take his place.
What?
This is no way to choose.
It cannot be done!
My father did it.
- Huh?
- Maybe he can do it.
Wait!
Wait.
You will not see the winner.
You all are the same to me.
Oh.
Ha ha ha.
It's not fair!
I have never strung a bow.
This is not right!
I gave up 50 sheep,
a hundred goats,
- as gifts from Dulichium!
- And return there then, fool.
It's impossible.
- He would be able to do it!
- I'll enjoy it.
Only 2 tries, Eurymahcus.
- You can't do it!
- Come on.
No.
No, he's going.
- Come on. You're nearly there.
- No!
- Ha-ha-ha!
- Eh-ha-ha...
Farewell, Odysseus.
I have been
true to my word.
Telemachus has ordered us
to the main chambers.
We are to lock ourselves in.
Hurry.
Hurry.
Hide them.
Hide them, hurry.
Athena be with us.
I've waited long enough!
Give it here, weakling.
Now, watch this.
Come on, Antinous.
Let's see you do it.
- Come on!
- Come on.
- Come on!
- Give it a go!
Oh!
Come on, now!
If I cannot do it,
no man alive can!
- No. Impossible.
- It's impossible.
And what about
a man who is dead?
What are you doing?
Don't be foolish.
Who are you, old man?
Do you know me now?
Odysseus.
Odysseus
Telemachus.
Now is the right time
to use your anger.
AAAWWWWW !!
Aww!
Wait!
Wait!
Wait!
WAIT!
What is our crime?
We treated your wife
as a queen.
We lived off your land,
but that can be replaced.
We did not
kill anyone.
You crime is that
you try to steal my world.
The world I built
with my hands
and my sweat
Now, anyone...
... and my blood.
The world I shared
with a woman
who bore me my son,
and no one
will ever
take that from me!
Now you will die
to a man
in a river of blood.
A river of blood!
The spear!
We cannot die like lambs!
Open the door!
Your masters are not
worth dieing for.
Melanthe!
Open the doors!
Melanthe!
Melanthe!
Open the doors!
No!
No!
Father!
Ah.
Don't let your mother's
eyes fall on this room.
When it is cleansed...
you tell her I'm home.
Odysseus!
( Athena. )
I will never leave you.
How much I must have changed.
No.
You are still the same.
You're still a liar, Odysseus.
It's 20 years since you
held me in your eyes.
That was only one day.
And in one day
you've seen all the world.
Yes.
And it's mostly
sacred and beautiful,
but nothing as beautiful
as a man's own world.
That he can take in his hands
and it will always be his.
You are my world.
