Fighting Olympus (2023) Movie Script
-Delta Team to Control.
-Delta Team, go ahead.
-ETA 10 minutes.
-Copy that, Delta team.
Confirm when you arrive at the location.
-Confirming arrival at location.
-Copy. Be advised, armed suspects
are on east side of the location.
One possible suspect down.
-Copy that, Control.
-Standby. Eyes on the
west side in 3 minutes...
then on your go...
By the way, Sir, its been a pleasure.
-Yeah man, she calls us up and wanted
to bring her little friend to the barbecue.
He seems like a good kid, but honestly
I don't know if I'm ready for all that yet.
-Ah! Your little girl is growin' up.
You just gotta deal with it.
-I know, in my eyes she's always
going to be my little girl, you know?
-Listen man, just don't
run the boy off, alright?
-Speaking off running people off, remember what
Janie's dad did to me before our first date?
-Haha, yeah...
You called me for backup.
-Right!
-You're really gonna do it, huh?
-Yup. Last dance, man.
Hey, why don't you join me?
I mean hell, I got two fishing poles.
-Not just yet.
There's a lot of
fixing out there to do.
People need to see us
doing the right thing...
fightin' against these corrupted ass cops.
-Just like you...
Who are you? A black
Captain America or somethin'.
-No... I'm more like "Wakanda Forever."
[laughs]
-You guys ready for action?
-You guys ready for action?
-Biddle, leave him alone, man.
This guy's alright.
-Alright, alright. Settle down,
take a look at the map.
Here, here and here.
This is a blind spot.
Here's our vantage point.
Do not take these guys lightly.
-Alright, Biddle. You're up.
-Well, you guys ready for some action?
-Micky!
-Ask a stupid question like that again.
-Go!
-What the hell is going on?
-I don't think they're
taking us seriously.
-Me and the guys got you something.
-You really want to
do this right now?
-Why'd they send kids to a negotiation.
-Gentlemen, we can handle this
but you might want to watch your mouth.
-Got stuck in the chamber.
This bullet can save your life.
-Man, I was shot six times and you
want me to wear a bullet around my neck?
Thanks, captain.
-No, thank you little bro,
for staying alive.
-Ruck and I got back, alright.
Slater, breach the front.
Watch the windows. Let's go.
-They'll take us seriously, when we
send them back one piece at a time.
-Then they'll get it.
-Huh...
-We're gonna put em on the end of a
stick, roast 'em like marshmallows.
-Hey, I don't think you know
who you're dealin' with.
[chuckles]
-You know the numbers.
We did our part.
Stop wasting our time.
-I don't get these millennials.
-It's generational. Hate em!
-You interrupt grown folks again?
I'mma cut you.
-Drop it!
-Police!
-Police!
-Hands!
-Hands!
-Drop your weapon!
-Drop it!
Drop it, don't do it!
Don't you do it!
-Gun, gun!
[Shot gun fires]
-Move, move now!
Kneel!
-Up! Up!
-Three
-Two
-One
-Do not speak without permission,
until Vesba says.
In this episode of "The Danger Zone," I'm in
an unknown location with terrorist leader, Vesba.
Vesba, what is the root of your violent acts?
[whispers]
-Vesba says that your country
must pay for it's evil ways.
For every policy against us,
we will take 5 lives.
For every sanction, we will take 10.
-You emphasize purity within your community?
Some people refer to you as an orphan of
the state, while others refer to you as a bastard.
My research indicates that you weren't born
to this site, that you rose to power through the
massacre of your subordinates.
Is that true?
[whispers]
-Vesba is not willing to answer
your disrespectful questions.
He wants to talk about our glorious goals.
-Vesba shouldn't have agreed to the interview
if he wasn't willing to answer questions.
Ask him, what he's hiding.
[whispers]
-Anymore disrespectful
questions will lead to death.
-They must not know me.
Your bombs killed over 100 people,
mostly women and children.
How do you equate that to a higher power?
Come on, really?
-He wishes to talk about our glorious goals.
Not these blasphemous insults.
-Why are you considered the
most hated man in the region?
-You wish me to ask Vesba this question?
You wish me to ask Vesba
this question, infidel?
-It's a fair question.
Why does everyone think he's an evil,
arrogant, con-artist with a death wish?
[whispers]
-Three, two, one...
Tell me your thoughts on being
the most hated man in the region?
I hope you're not playin' for money.
You know Rucker's shady.
[laughs]
-Hello, I'm right here!
-C'mon Janie, that's my brother.
-I know and I love him but when it
comes to these games, he's shady.
-No, nah, now you're gonna give me love
after calling me shady. Get outta here!
[laughs]
-You lose any money and
you're on punishment.
-Punishment?
Oh...
-So, how much are we playin' for brother?
-Didn't you hear her? Punishment.
We're not playin' for money.
-You smell that?
You better go check the grill, brother.
-Nah, I'll wait.
-You want to be the one servin'
burned meat, go ahead. Wait.
-You know damn well I don't
serve burned meat around here.
-Watch him.
-I got you.
-Come on, bro. These dominos
ain't gonna play themselves.
-Almost done.
-Nah, we are done...
D-O-N-E, domino!
[laughs]
-Cheatin' ass cop!
-Did you help?
-Whoa!
-Cheater? I'm offended.
I'm more of a deal maker.
-Last time I play bones with cops.
-Pretty shady, Ruck.
-What? What'd I do?
You boys are hilarious!
-Man, I'm gonna miss working with you, bro.
-You sure about this?
-I mean, after the shooting, Janie asked me
to quit. She'd rather leave me than lose me.
She's the best thing that's happened to me, man.
I don't want to end up like... you know?
-Like me. I got it.
-Bro...
-No, it's cool, it's cool.
So, now that you got the free time,
what are you gonna be doing with it?
-Gotta get doin' TV work.
Interviews and shit. So, they
only hire ex-military and police.
Happy wife, happy life.
-Look, I gotta split. We finally got
that warrant for the meth lab on MLK.
-You want one, Uncle?
-Sure sweetie, thank you.
So, how does it feel to
have your dad home?
-He cuts the grass wearing a SWAT vest
and speedos. What do you think?
[chuckles]
-Who's this?
-Umm, my friend, Ray.
-Sir.
-Ray...
-Have a seat man.
-Dad, no.
-Nah, nah, I just want to talk to him.
-Dad!
-Talk about the game. You don't
have a problem with that Ray, do you?
-No sir.
-You like games, Ray?
-Sir?
-Let's play a game. It's called, "If you
touch my daughter, we'll touch you."
You wanna play?
-No, sir.
-No? What about the game, "What
happened to Ray"? You like that game?
-No, sir.
-No? You don't like that game?
-No, sir.
-No, scared? 'Cause I love games.
Love 'em, lots of 'em, just the thrill of it, you know?
-Do it. Lay him out.
Do it! Do it Biddle.
-Woo!
-Do it! C'mon Biddle! C'mon now!
-You guys are awful.
Come on, they have a
warped sense of humor.
-Bye bye, Ray.
[laughs]
-Oh man!
-Your new life, your new
adventure, your family.
-Here's to peace,
joy, and a new wife.
-Oh, I see you.
[laugh]
-Incoming call:
-Ms. Locklear, hey, hey it's Biddle. I'm running behind.
I'll be there shortly.
Ms. Locklear? Charles Biddle.
-You're late.
-I'm sorry. I couldn't find
parking anywhere around here.
All these years of being on the Force
I've never seen this area before
-That can never happen again.
-I I understand. I'm sorry.
Thank you for hiring me.
-Great. You ready?
-Absolutely! Who's our main subject?
-Not your concern.
-Okay. Umm...
Well, I was playin' with some camera angles
and I was wondering if we start with the POV
shot and
-Don't take this the wrong way, but I don't
need you to think. Just hold the
camera steady and watch my back. Okay?
-Don't know who she's talking to.
-It's time.
-I got the wrong one.
-You have your weapon as requested?
-Yeah, but I'm not sure
-And your ankle gun?
-Yeah.
-Two memory cards?
-Yeah, one in the camera, one in my pocket.
-Capture everything. The roads, the buildings, everything.
-This is all wrong.
-Switch cards.
Give me the original.
-See those 2 points? That's a
perfect place for an ambush.
-i'm aware of that, holster your weapon!
-What?
-Holster your weapon!
-The hell? Okay, alright.
[gun shot]
-Yeah, Rucker?
-He's gone.
-What?
-Dad, he's gone. They killed him.
-Whoa, whoa! What are you
talking about? Oh no, not Biddle.
-What are we gonna do?
-Just hold on. Just hold on.
Listen, I'm coming. I'll be right there.
-Okay.
-I'll be right there!
America is mourning the death of
world renowned reporter Ayasha Locklear,
one of my former colleagues and my mentor.
We are at the location where evidence
of Ayasha's murder was found.
Warning. This video contains graphic content.
Ayasha was shot and killed
in an undisclosed location.
Retired SWAT Commander
Biddle Parks was also killed.
Police have no suspects and are still working
to locate the person who submitted the video.
Ayasha was part of an incredible duo
with her husband Daniel Locklear,
who died a year ago.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to their families.
Faye Soils, KSCN.
-Listen, I don't need this from you, Bristol.
You shitted on our marriage.
And now you tryin' to shit on me? If
I knew who did it, I'd kill them myself.
-I don't want revenge! I want justice.
That's what Biddle stood for.
-Three months, two friends gone and now my brother.
-Just find out what happened to your brother.
If you need anything... you know...
-Yeah...
I know.
-Have a seat.
-Let's take a look at that rsum.
And you're applying for
the office manager position?
-Yes sir. I was told you employ retired police and military.
-Have you ever managed an office?
-I've managed high level teams before.
So, I'm sure I'd be a great fit.
-Hmm.
-What's wrong?
-I don't think your experience
lines up with this position.
Have you considered something more physical?
-Physical?
[chuckle]
Physical?
Look, I can't I just can't. So
-One moment.
-Physical, everyone wants
you to do something physical.
-He's here, sir.
He came through the back.
-Yet, he lives?
-We need him.
-What's he like?
-Experienced, engaged, persistent.
-Strong?
-Looks strong enough.
-What do his eyes say?
-He's the one.
-He better be.
-Oh who is this, your bouncer?
You're throwing me out?
-Green Beret, Captain of the SWAT Team.
Covert Operations. Over 50 kills.
-Where did you get that?
-I lead our Recon division.
-I'm not interested.
-Our focus is to recover assets...
-I'm not interested.
-We have a retrieval rate of 99%.
-I said, I'm not interested!
-We pay exceptionally well.
Are you still comfortable with... killing?
-What?
-Clean kills, no torture, no mutilation, just simply
killing.
-Do you know what type
of hell I've been through?
-Hell? You know nothing of hell.
-Sir?
-Beg for mercy?
[chuckles]
Down there they call me, Cerberus. I protected
the gates of Hades, until I was exiled.
-You you worked in hell? And got fired?
You got to be kiddin' me, man.
[laughs]
This is funny. You worked in hell.
Got fired from hell.
-He thinks this is a joke.
Should we kill him?
I made it for you!
[chuckles]
I need you to retrieve an asset.
-Find somebody else.
-We did.
-You killed my brother?
-He's alive but not for long.
-I saw the video.
-Did you? Do you believe everything you see?
Save him, don't save him, your choice.
-Whatever it takes.
-I'll help you save your brother if you
return my asset, Ayasha Locklear.
-How am I supposed to find Hades? GPS?
-The difficulty's not in the map.
It's in the keys.
I can only get you so far,
so you must find another route.
You'll need these. The Ferryman
demands payment up-front to cross.
Head through the ruins and cross the river Styx,
and use the map to enter the gates of Hades.
You'll find your brother and my asset.
You'll need five more sections of the map.
Find Apollo, Athena, Ares, Medusa
-What's next, flying horses?
-Every other road leads to nowhere.
-If he's there, I'll find him.
-It's got gas. Hurry up, before he comes.
-Start, dammit!
-Hurry the hell up.
-Shit!
-What's takin' so long?
Let me do it. You're gonna get us killed.
-Stop it! I gotta concentrate! C'mon!
[engine starts]
Yes!
[gun shots]
[gun shot]
-Hey!
Just wanna cross man.
-Alright?
[sniffing]
[banging]
-Get off of me.
-You enter my home
showing your unworthy face?
Who are you and why are you
-Enough questions!
-Shall I slap the royal grin from your
face for pointing a gun at my direction?
My brother doesn't have my tact.
-You must be Athena.
-And you?
-Rucker, I need directions.
-Where?
-Hades.
[laugh]
-Why do you wish to die?
-I have to find my brother.
-In Hades? There is no rescue from Hades.
There is no hope for your brother.
Nor for you. Kill him.
-I have the map.
-What map?
-The map.
-Then you know there's no rescue for
your brother, not without a hand.
-What do you want?
-There is an evil, vile, grotesque
woman named, Medusa.
She's caused me
so much angst.
Bring me her head.
-What?
-My palm for Medusa's head.
A simple bargain.
-Why?
-I enjoy abstract art.
-Listen lady, I don't do heads and shit.
Now, if I find her, I'll bring to ya
-How dare you spew profanity in my presence.
-Oh! Sorry lady... and the tramp.
-Bring the pest to me
and you'll have your print.
-Hey!
Pow!
[gun shot]
[gun shot]
[gun shot]
[crackling]
[screaming]
-Gold.
[screaming]
-Drink now!
-Told you we were prime for an ambush.
-This was part of the plan.
-You wanted this to happen?
-Without going through that bridge to nowhere,
this was the only way to reach my subject.
-Before I die, at least tell me
who we're here to interview.
-Hades, they call him Hades.
-Hades... So, this is how I get to spend my retirement? Huh?
-Chasin' some guy who thinks he's the devil.
-Shhh.
-What a shitty plan.
-Would you stop?
-You act like you're in control.
You are not in control!
-A few more steps and I'll
we'll be in front of the subject.
-Yeah, and we'll be dead. Thanks a lot.
-Wait, is this your first capture? I specifically
requested someone with hostage experience.
-I have hostage experience. Finding hostages.
Negotiating the release of hostages.
Rescuing hostages. Not becoming one.
-Shut up!
-You signed up for this.
If you don't like it, just quit.
-I don't like it and I quit.
-Shut up!
-Good luck finding another job, quitter.
Tell them you blew a great opportunity.
-Shut!
-And you were on the
SWAT team? Such a whiner.
-Shut, shut, shut!
I said shut!
-That was over the top.
-I know, right?
What's up with him?
[gun shot]
-Hey! Hey! Listen, I'm just here to talk.
[gun shot]
-Stop shooting, Dammit!
[gun shot]
Hell with this...
[gun shots]
-Ahh!
-Come on out here.
Put your gun down.
Gun down!
And don't you move.
-Please don't hurt me.
-Look, all I was trying
-Who sent you? Who sent you to kill me?
-I'm not here to kill you.
-Lies.
-Listen, we gotta talk.
-We can talk in the afterlife.
-You need to calm down. I need your help.
-Yet you treat me like a prisoner.
-I need to reach Hades.
I was told your palm line could guide me.
-Do I look like the Ferryman?
You have nothing to barter.
-There's a woman named, Athena,
who wants your head. How about that?
-I don't think my palm is of much use.
-Dammit!
There's gotta be another way.
-There's only one solution.
-I'm listening.
-First, you lead me to Athena.
When she's dead, you'll have your print.
-I need Apollo.
-And you shall have him.
-They'll be coming in soon.
I'll just play the damsel in distress.
Tell them we have information for
Hades but we can only give it to him.
-And? That's crazy!
-Just do it and I'll handle the rest.
-If you think things will play out the way they will...
-Why are you in this area?
-No, no, please.
-What if your woman was hurt?
-Oh, that't not
-Please, don't tell him anything.
-Okay, I'll tell you.
We're looking for Hades.
-Liar! No one seeks the unnamed.
We have information for him.
-Tell me. I'll pass it to him.
-C'mon, man. Hades needs
to hear it for himself.
-You don't want to be the one
who keeps secrets from him.
-Please! Don't tell him anything.
-I'm impressed.
-You can stay in here and rot, prisoner!
-Wait, was that part of the
-Plan? No.
-Shit!
-This is where you'll find Apollo.
I'm not going in there, too many rules.
-Excuse me?
-Shhh.
-Is this Olympus?
-Olympus is all around you.
The realm of gold. The place of perfection.
Residence of the immortals.
Where knowledge turns kings into gods.
-Or nuts.
-Excuse me?
-Where can I find Apollo?
-No appointment? Nature of business?
-Hades.
-What?
[gun shot]
You are unmasked, but I'm not familiar
with you. Not a deity. Must be an outcast.
Come with me. I'll take you to Apollo.
[gun shot]
What you want from Apollo?
-I need to get to Hades.
-Hades is a result, not a destination.
-Not for me. I have to save someone.
-There is no saving in Hades, you will
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, I will die. I keep hearing that.
-I am Apollo.
-You don't look like an Apollo.
-But I am.
-Sure...
-I am Apollo.
-If you say so.
-I cannot provide the way to Hades, but I
will assist you.
What questions do you have?
-What up with the masks?
-They are nameless and faceless. They've
sacrificed their identities to protect their lords.
Their masks designate the level of royalty.
Only deities and those bathed in gold
may enter this place.
-Nice to know it wasn't personal.
-Required reading. To get to Hades, you
must know who and what you're looking for.
-Poseidon, lord of the sea.
Ares, lord of war. Medusa,
The Gorgon, Apollo, lord of truth...
-And healing.
-Athena, lord of wisdom...
-And you had no knowledge of this?
-History wasn't my best subject.
Hades, lord of the underworld.
-Quite impressive. No one has
made it past the Gorgon Medusa.
She must have
been a difficult foe.
-You don't know the half of it.
-And the map?
Stop by the bar on your way.
Tell them Apollo sent you.
I leave you one last piece of advice.
If you get out of Hades, do not turn back.
One glance, and you will be swallowed by darkness.
-When I'm out, I'm out. You don't have to
worry about me goin' back.
-Emotions have a way of
drawing men toward danger.
Then punishing them for their interest.
You have two weeks to return the book.
-Did you get it?
-Yeah. You don't want to see this.
Fine.
-Who created such a thing?
Quite the imagination, huh? Zeus with a thunderbolt.
Poseidon with an underwater chariot?
Is this what they think of me?
-I'm sorry.
-Well, maybe I am, thanks to Athena and Poseidon.
I'll give them a monster.
-C'mon now. Damn Medusa!
It's just a picture. Calm down.
-Just a picture? You do not know what
she did to me. What they did to me.
[sizzling]
-Ahh! Why?! Ahh!
[gun shot]
-Medusa? Medu
-Medusa?
-Where is my son?
-You mean my son.
You have no claim to him.
-You used me, took away my son.
Left me for dead, turn around!
You would kill the father
of your child? For justice?
-No, vengeance.
[gun shot]
That's for my son you stole.
And that's for what you stole from me!
Die, if you wish to.
I'm sorry. I was just tryin to
-They took my son away, and one
day I will find everybody that hurt us.
-Look, I'll help you find your son.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, where you going?
-I have business to attend to. I'll be back later.
-Okay? Business.
-How can we guard Olympus if you brutalize
our guards? You are wild as the Ferryman.
-This is preparation for war.
-Then use the bronze, not our gold.
You must think, brother.
[chuckle]
-I should listen to you?
Because of you, we've
lost 5 guards to Medusa.
You should have killed her a long time ago.
-I could have.
-And look what you've created.
-What better punishment than to take away her
most treasured attribute? Her beauty.
She will remember me every
time she looks in the mirror.
-And now you have a vengeful woman
stalking you. Let's go to her lair and end this.
-Do I look worried?
She will be brought to me.
Her head will be my footstool.
-And if you fail, you will be my footstool, my sister.
-Right.
Why don't you challenge me instead?
[laugh]
I see why you need practice.
[coughing]
-Looks like we got a rich one here.
-This should get us a pretty penny for this one.
-Okay, are you going to the theater?
-Why?
-Because you'd be the first
going under their own free will.
-Who are you?
-Lucas.
-And you, officer?
-Rucker.
-Well, Rucker. I suggest
you put your pistol away.
And you're going to get yourself killed
walking out here unmasked.
[chuckle]
-And I should listen to a guy
dressed like an art teacher?
-Art teacher? Professor.
And if you don't start listening, you're
not gonna step away from this place alive.
-Okay, professor. How do
you propose we get inside?
-Follow me.
Hand. Put it in.
-Music's that bad, huh?
-It's not that.
-Without these, you're not
gonna step foot out of here.
Stay here with me, forevermore.
Don't ever leave, leave me this way.
Stay here with me, forevermore.
Stay here with me, forevermore
-They're under the effects of a drug.
This music enhances the effect.
It makes them unresponsive.
Stay here with me, forevermore
-I've something special for you and you, Atlas.
-Whoo! Man, you got jacked up. Hope
the other guy looks worse than you do.
-Not easy rescuing people one at a time.
Besides, the Ferryman's is getting too expensive.
Phones won't work in here. The only
place the phone will work is from Hades.
-And you know this, how?
-I get pieces of information from the people I rescue.
-Courtesy of Apollo.
-Apollo?
-It's a derivative of Scopolamine.
-Say what?
-Devil's breath.
It's in everything around here.
You see, they cross pollinated devil's
breath with some kind of synthetic fertilizer.
Food, water, you name it.
Never order an open drink...
and don't eat anything...
and never trust Apollo.
-What are you talking about?
Apollo's a good dude.
I mean he's a little bit trigger happy,
but he's a good dude.
-Good dude, huh?
Apollo is not a good dude.
-Man, did you see that? Did you see that?
What the hell is going on down here man?
-Only gold.
-Same shit here too, eh?
-Yeah, that, well. The gold are the most trusted,
silver, they protect Olympus, and the rest are expendable.
-Yeah, that's why I joined SWAT.
Thought I could change the system.
The system ain't ready to change.
Then you got these crazies walking around
-Not crazy. They believe
in what they've created.
-Delusional.
-Are they?
What if everything you learned, everything
you believed, everything you remember Rucker,
was taught in error? Would you believe
the known error or the unknown truth?
-It's always about the truth, Lucas. Always.
How do I stop them?
-They are not the ones to stop.
-Then who?
-You see, Rucker, when society is
compromised, men often imitate past
civilizations, whether mythical or real,
in order to develop a new one...
and when their logic is bypassed by some
outside source, that's when you get this
tainted, bastardization of a culture
to exist. You must find that source.
-Hades?
-Hades.
I've been searching for this
society for years. It's fascinating.
Watching how a community evolves
trying to replicate Greek gods.
Then you learn these people,
they are not here by choice.
That's when it becomes a tragedy.
-You could have called the police.
-Yeah, right. And they'd believe me?
You've seen it and don't believe it.
There are some things the police can't find,
don't know, or don't want known.
-So, sit back and do nothing?
-Of course not.
If I can rescue one more, one
more than they capture, maybe...
-Maybe you don't make it.
-I've been warned.
It's not going to stop me.
-I got your back.
-I got a feeling you'll need these.
-Say. You want to tag along?
Save these folks together?
-I'll be fine. I have a feeling
you're gonna see me again.
-Shipped in this morning from the coast.
The finest Olympus has to offer.
Take a bite or at least a sip.
-Never touch my wife. Filthy hands.
-But sir, I was protecting
-Never!
[crack]
-They're gonna find me and arrest you.
-For what?
I haven't touched you. I haven't harmed you.
I only wanna make you a queen.
-I don't want to be queen. I want to be free.
-You are free.
[gun shot]
-Right place, right time?
-This is no safe place.
I thought you might need me.
-I did.
-Gimme, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Just trying to thanking you.
-Instinct.
-Do you remember what
happened before you got here?
-What do you mean by got here?
This is my home.
-There was a home before you got
to this place. This place isn't real.
Somebody brought you here and
filled your head with all that bullshit.
And the sooner you realize it, the better.
-Do these burns look real enough?
-Does this gun look real enough to you?
Do these burns look real enough?
If I shoot you, would that feel real enough?
-There you go, always ready to shoot somebody.
Listen, I'm on your side.
All I'm just trying to do is save you.
-I don't need saving. I need my life back.
I need my son back. Can you do that for me?
Can you stop the pain?
-I can't...
Then I'll continue to kill
until the pain goes away.
-You know, I really don't think you're as
bad as you seem. Let me just help you.
Not Not save you, help you.
Maybe one day we won't have to kill.
We can just be.
-I'd like that.
-Well, if we're gonna get Athena,
we have to be strategically.
Now, I trusted you. Now,
you have to trust me.
[loud knocking]
-He did it. I didn't think
he had the guts to try.
How are you gonna kill her?
-You know, I hadn't thought about it.
So many choices. Slow, fast,
upside down, I don't know.
Bring her inside.
Mr. Rucker, you may have earned
your place as a demigod.
I'm not interested in that.
I just want your palm print.
-And you shall have it.
Now, leave us.
-Ten seconds.
-You too, this is a private matter.
-Where's my weapon?
-Outside the door.
-She got away.
[gun shot]
-What kind of place is this?
-This was my home. After Poseidon...
Athena wanted me dead.
I tried to start a new life
but she wouldnt let me.
-Damn.
-She set this whole place on
fire and I barely made it out.
-Die Medusa?
-The map.
-Your brother should be here. We should leave.
-Another night, another missed meal.
It's very good.
Nothing to say?
-Home. Please, let me go?
-Why would you leave? I've made you a queen.
A goddess. A community at your beck and call.
Men bow before you. Wealth beyond
-My family. I miss my family. My life.
-Your life was nothing... before me.
-My life is nothing now.
-Nothing? Loved by a god?
-If you loved me.
If you truly loved me, you would let me go.
-This is your home.
-I don't want it.
I don't love you. I never loved you.
-You will.
[sparking]
-This is truly torture.
-You can't be serious.
My arms are about to fall off and you're
complaining about a damn puzzle?
You wanna switch?
[sparking]
-I got you, I got you.
-Oww!
I've been gone for a minute
and you got braids and shit.
You're a sight for sore eyes, boy. And they're locks.
It's a long story, right now we gotta go.
-Not yet.
-If you were carrying weights above your
head, you'd be running from this place.
-Your brother?
-Yeah.
-If we leave now, I won't get to see Hades.
I have to see Hades.
-And if we stay, we're dead.
Ayasha, admit it. Your plan failed.
We gotta go!
-How did you know where to find us?
-A friend of yours.
-A friend?
-Cerberus, big guy kinda crazy. Ring a bell?
-Mr. Totem?
-Yes.
-He sent you?
-Yes.
-And told you it was for my protection?
-Yes.
-And you believed him?
-Yes. Look, let's talk about this when we find a safe
place. Not here, not now. Right now, we gotta go.
-C'mon, C'mon!
-Shhh! Don't scream,
I'm here to take you home.
-Who are you?
-I'll tell you later. We have to go, now!
-They been abducting people
and bringin' them here.
We can't just leave this place
and pretend nothing happened.
-Of course not, as soon as we get outta here,
we're gonna call in every cop to shut this shit down.
-You helped them escape? How?
What did you tell them?
Where were you taking my wife? Be still.
-You're gonna die first, that's too bad.
Fore!
-What did you do to him?
-I asked questions, he gave answers.
It wasn't difficult.
-He only wished to help me.
For that, you killed him?
I need help. You let me die
rather than let me go home?
-Expose our resources?
-You said you loved me.
-Eat. We can live here... together in peace.
-You would trade this
place over my life?
-So uh, you got a husband
or a boyfriend or anything?
-I did. No more.
-What happened? Ya'll break up?
-I shot him...twice.
-Dayum.
What do you think about my brother?
-He's a fine warrior.
-Ahh! I think he likes you. Aye! I
know my brother and he's into crazy.
-Be silent.
-Hey, you know he's single, right?
-Do you not fear me?
-Compared to Rucker's ex-wife, you're an angel.
-Oooh! I saw that. You like him, don't you.?
-If you say anything, I will kill you in your sleep.
-Is that a body?
-Damn.
-You know him?
-Yeah.
He only tried to save these people.
He didn't deserve this.
-Did you check everything? One of them is
tricky. I know you. Why are you here?
And you should be kneeling.
-I want to interview you.
-Ayasha. Not again.
Let it go.
-Oh, the great Ayasha Locklear,
came to Olympus to interview Hades.
-You know my name?
-What do you think, my dear?
-Can we just kill them and be done with it?
See why I love this woman.
We think so much alike now.
Let them finish their questions.
-Who are you? What is this place?
-This is the future.
-Bullshit.
-Who gave this gnat permission to speak to me?
-Damn, Ruck. He called you a gnat, man.
Let me take him.
Had me holdin' that big ass rock. Let me get him.
-Our lives are based on hierarchy.
-And they trust a man who calls himself Hades?
Who lives here?
-Those who desire more. Those who've
allowed their minds to be elevated.
Hades is not just a place,
is not just a person, it's a culture.
Humanities Advancing the
Development of an Ethos Society.
We change the environment
and the belief system follows.
-A social experiment?
-Yes.
-At the expense of lives.
-Why concern yourself with the lab rats?
When the cure is so much greater.
-Being kidnapped is not a choice.
-Kidnapped? No, simply a push.
-Can I? It won't be long.
-Let me ask you a question, reporter.
If you start over, build a new world?
Would you?
-A world of slaves.
-A world based on simple rules.
Serve me and honor the immortals.
-By makin' people wear masks and shit. Serve you?
-What mask are you hiding behind?
-Look, I ain't Lucas. I will kick your ass.
-No, no, no, it's cool, it's cool. I just
wanna test this whole immortal thing.
You know? One-on-one. No guns. C'mon.
What do you say, Hades?
-That's what makes me immortal.
Those who would die for me make me immortal.
Kill them!
-Please! I have one more question.
You know my husband.
-I recall.
You ask questions, when you know the answer. End this!
-Ha! Didn't see that one coming,
did you? Fake ass Fabio.
-I choose whether you live or die.
Go ahead, pull
the trigger. Shoot me.
-We're leaving.
-No you're not, not yet.
-Stop me.
-I haven't shown you my surprise. A reunion.
-Someone you may wanna see.
Someone who wants to see you.
-Let's go
-Get them!
-Let's go! We can't turn right now.
C'mon we are almost there!
-Mother! Help me mother!
-No, no you can't turn back now.
-I have to get my child.
-My mother!
-No!
It's a setup!
-It's time for you to become one of us.
Are you ready? Pay attention, are you ready?
-I'm sorry, mom.
[gun shot]
[music plays]
-Yeah.
-Tyson, this is Rucker.
-Where you been? We've been lookin' all over for you.
-There's no time, I got a major situation going on.
-Alright. Where are you?
-Beyond the bridge.
-Beyond the There is no beyond the bridge.
-If they have a bronze, silver, or
gold mask, they are your target.
Now, if they don't have a mask at all,
shoot them anyway.
-Wow, masks?
-If you don't come now, you'll be collecting bodies for
days.
You'll see what I'm saying and bring everything you have.
-Alright. I'll be there.
-Hey, I owe you man.
-I have to find the truth...
-We should check out your house.
-What happened to him?
-I had a shoot in Mexico.
He had a story in LA. Something about
mistreatment at mental institutions.
He told me he would set us up financially for years.
I didn't hear from him for couple weeks.
-A couple of weeks?
-That's not unusual for us.
-Did he leave a message or anything?
-Hey, you. Can't drive to the location. I know.
hate these changing assignments too.
Shut everything down.
-Anything sound suspicious?
-Everything. If you knew him...
He's never that informal. Never calls me, "you."
Someone had to be listening to this messages.
-May I? Got an idea. I think
I know what he's doing.
-Hey, you. Can't drive to the location.

-I'm sorry.
-There was a note in his car.
-Problem with the interview. Tried to get
it to the source, but it was late and my
ticket expired. You have to take care of
things. Don't wait up for me.
Don't wait up for me? Kite.
-Yep.
Smart man. He's usin' a prison kite code.
-He knew he was gonna get killed.
Whatever info he had, he
wanted to make sure you had it.
-He capitalized "me".
-Does that mean anything to you?
-No. wait... We met on an assignment in Maine.
-Maine.
-Don't worry about all the cameras. It's just procedure.
You've got nothing to worry about.
Have you been treated?
-They got me in this... thing.
I can't breathe. I don't want to be here.
-Do you feel the government is
concerned about mental health?
-This government? They won't help me...
"Cause they're afraid of you." They should be.
-What's the reason they placed you in this institution?
-They said I did something a sane
person wouldn't do...couldn't do.
[chuckles]
"I got a present for you. Come in"
"I broked them."
-You what?
"Broked them into pieces. I broked 'bout
30 of them and dumped them in a ditch."
"Hades told me to do it."
-Who is Hades, my friend?
-"They don't want me to talk no more.
They want me to" break you.
-You can tell me.
-And you will free us from these confines?
-I will.
-He was the former head of the EPA.
He built Olympus from the ground up. Everyone
thought he was dead, but he's very much alive.
-What's his real name?
-Rawlings... Donald Rawlings.
-Donald Rawlings is alive?
-I've answered your questions.
-Get me outta here.
-I need the surveillance footage.
-Get me out of here!

-Yes.
-Hmm

REPORTING NEWS
AYASHA LOCKLEAR
A NEW HERO FOR A NEW DAY
AYASHA LOCKLEAR
-Ms. Locklear. It's exciting to finally meet you.
I've heard so much about you.
You remind me of... me, before. Never lose that joy.
-Thank you, Ms. Locklear.
-We're about to go live. Are you ready? Follow me.
-Sure.
Thank you so much for being here with us
this morning, it is an honor to have you here.
-Thank you, it's so great to be here with you.
-So, Ayasha...
I'm not sure anyone has faced
more highs and lows than you.
From the death of your husband, to
your own reported death, to exposing
a kidnapping ring, and finally, winning
a Chronos Award for your work.
Would you tell our viewers, how did you keep it together?
-Who says I kept it all together?
Honestly, I just stopped trying
to prove myself to my audience.
I just focused on telling my story.
On finishing telling my husband's story.
-And what did you learn from this experience?
-So many things, that when you
seek chaos, you usually find it...
and here's so much evil in this world that you
forget that there's also good in the world.
Humanity, sacrifice, friends. memories,
you take it all for granted and then it's gone.
-Such an important message. It was
an amazing story. What next?
-What else? I'm a reporter.
On to the next story.
-Thank you so much Ayasha,
Faye Solis, KSCN.
-Delta Team, go ahead.
-ETA 10 minutes.
-Copy that, Delta team.
Confirm when you arrive at the location.
-Confirming arrival at location.
-Copy. Be advised, armed suspects
are on east side of the location.
One possible suspect down.
-Copy that, Control.
-Standby. Eyes on the
west side in 3 minutes...
then on your go...
By the way, Sir, its been a pleasure.
-Yeah man, she calls us up and wanted
to bring her little friend to the barbecue.
He seems like a good kid, but honestly
I don't know if I'm ready for all that yet.
-Ah! Your little girl is growin' up.
You just gotta deal with it.
-I know, in my eyes she's always
going to be my little girl, you know?
-Listen man, just don't
run the boy off, alright?
-Speaking off running people off, remember what
Janie's dad did to me before our first date?
-Haha, yeah...
You called me for backup.
-Right!
-You're really gonna do it, huh?
-Yup. Last dance, man.
Hey, why don't you join me?
I mean hell, I got two fishing poles.
-Not just yet.
There's a lot of
fixing out there to do.
People need to see us
doing the right thing...
fightin' against these corrupted ass cops.
-Just like you...
Who are you? A black
Captain America or somethin'.
-No... I'm more like "Wakanda Forever."
[laughs]
-You guys ready for action?
-You guys ready for action?
-Biddle, leave him alone, man.
This guy's alright.
-Alright, alright. Settle down,
take a look at the map.
Here, here and here.
This is a blind spot.
Here's our vantage point.
Do not take these guys lightly.
-Alright, Biddle. You're up.
-Well, you guys ready for some action?
-Micky!
-Ask a stupid question like that again.
-Go!
-What the hell is going on?
-I don't think they're
taking us seriously.
-Me and the guys got you something.
-You really want to
do this right now?
-Why'd they send kids to a negotiation.
-Gentlemen, we can handle this
but you might want to watch your mouth.
-Got stuck in the chamber.
This bullet can save your life.
-Man, I was shot six times and you
want me to wear a bullet around my neck?
Thanks, captain.
-No, thank you little bro,
for staying alive.
-Ruck and I got back, alright.
Slater, breach the front.
Watch the windows. Let's go.
-They'll take us seriously, when we
send them back one piece at a time.
-Then they'll get it.
-Huh...
-We're gonna put em on the end of a
stick, roast 'em like marshmallows.
-Hey, I don't think you know
who you're dealin' with.
[chuckles]
-You know the numbers.
We did our part.
Stop wasting our time.
-I don't get these millennials.
-It's generational. Hate em!
-You interrupt grown folks again?
I'mma cut you.
-Drop it!
-Police!
-Police!
-Hands!
-Hands!
-Drop your weapon!
-Drop it!
Drop it, don't do it!
Don't you do it!
-Gun, gun!
[Shot gun fires]
-Move, move now!
Kneel!
-Up! Up!
-Three
-Two
-One
-Do not speak without permission,
until Vesba says.
In this episode of "The Danger Zone," I'm in
an unknown location with terrorist leader, Vesba.
Vesba, what is the root of your violent acts?
[whispers]
-Vesba says that your country
must pay for it's evil ways.
For every policy against us,
we will take 5 lives.
For every sanction, we will take 10.
-You emphasize purity within your community?
Some people refer to you as an orphan of
the state, while others refer to you as a bastard.
My research indicates that you weren't born
to this site, that you rose to power through the
massacre of your subordinates.
Is that true?
[whispers]
-Vesba is not willing to answer
your disrespectful questions.
He wants to talk about our glorious goals.
-Vesba shouldn't have agreed to the interview
if he wasn't willing to answer questions.
Ask him, what he's hiding.
[whispers]
-Anymore disrespectful
questions will lead to death.
-They must not know me.
Your bombs killed over 100 people,
mostly women and children.
How do you equate that to a higher power?
Come on, really?
-He wishes to talk about our glorious goals.
Not these blasphemous insults.
-Why are you considered the
most hated man in the region?
-You wish me to ask Vesba this question?
You wish me to ask Vesba
this question, infidel?
-It's a fair question.
Why does everyone think he's an evil,
arrogant, con-artist with a death wish?
[whispers]
-Three, two, one...
Tell me your thoughts on being
the most hated man in the region?
I hope you're not playin' for money.
You know Rucker's shady.
[laughs]
-Hello, I'm right here!
-C'mon Janie, that's my brother.
-I know and I love him but when it
comes to these games, he's shady.
-No, nah, now you're gonna give me love
after calling me shady. Get outta here!
[laughs]
-You lose any money and
you're on punishment.
-Punishment?
Oh...
-So, how much are we playin' for brother?
-Didn't you hear her? Punishment.
We're not playin' for money.
-You smell that?
You better go check the grill, brother.
-Nah, I'll wait.
-You want to be the one servin'
burned meat, go ahead. Wait.
-You know damn well I don't
serve burned meat around here.
-Watch him.
-I got you.
-Come on, bro. These dominos
ain't gonna play themselves.
-Almost done.
-Nah, we are done...
D-O-N-E, domino!
[laughs]
-Cheatin' ass cop!
-Did you help?
-Whoa!
-Cheater? I'm offended.
I'm more of a deal maker.
-Last time I play bones with cops.
-Pretty shady, Ruck.
-What? What'd I do?
You boys are hilarious!
-Man, I'm gonna miss working with you, bro.
-You sure about this?
-I mean, after the shooting, Janie asked me
to quit. She'd rather leave me than lose me.
She's the best thing that's happened to me, man.
I don't want to end up like... you know?
-Like me. I got it.
-Bro...
-No, it's cool, it's cool.
So, now that you got the free time,
what are you gonna be doing with it?
-Gotta get doin' TV work.
Interviews and shit. So, they
only hire ex-military and police.
Happy wife, happy life.
-Look, I gotta split. We finally got
that warrant for the meth lab on MLK.
-You want one, Uncle?
-Sure sweetie, thank you.
So, how does it feel to
have your dad home?
-He cuts the grass wearing a SWAT vest
and speedos. What do you think?
[chuckles]
-Who's this?
-Umm, my friend, Ray.
-Sir.
-Ray...
-Have a seat man.
-Dad, no.
-Nah, nah, I just want to talk to him.
-Dad!
-Talk about the game. You don't
have a problem with that Ray, do you?
-No sir.
-You like games, Ray?
-Sir?
-Let's play a game. It's called, "If you
touch my daughter, we'll touch you."
You wanna play?
-No, sir.
-No? What about the game, "What
happened to Ray"? You like that game?
-No, sir.
-No? You don't like that game?
-No, sir.
-No, scared? 'Cause I love games.
Love 'em, lots of 'em, just the thrill of it, you know?
-Do it. Lay him out.
Do it! Do it Biddle.
-Woo!
-Do it! C'mon Biddle! C'mon now!
-You guys are awful.
Come on, they have a
warped sense of humor.
-Bye bye, Ray.
[laughs]
-Oh man!
-Your new life, your new
adventure, your family.
-Here's to peace,
joy, and a new wife.
-Oh, I see you.
[laugh]
-Incoming call:
-Ms. Locklear, hey, hey it's Biddle. I'm running behind.
I'll be there shortly.
Ms. Locklear? Charles Biddle.
-You're late.
-I'm sorry. I couldn't find
parking anywhere around here.
All these years of being on the Force
I've never seen this area before
-That can never happen again.
-I I understand. I'm sorry.
Thank you for hiring me.
-Great. You ready?
-Absolutely! Who's our main subject?
-Not your concern.
-Okay. Umm...
Well, I was playin' with some camera angles
and I was wondering if we start with the POV
shot and
-Don't take this the wrong way, but I don't
need you to think. Just hold the
camera steady and watch my back. Okay?
-Don't know who she's talking to.
-It's time.
-I got the wrong one.
-You have your weapon as requested?
-Yeah, but I'm not sure
-And your ankle gun?
-Yeah.
-Two memory cards?
-Yeah, one in the camera, one in my pocket.
-Capture everything. The roads, the buildings, everything.
-This is all wrong.
-Switch cards.
Give me the original.
-See those 2 points? That's a
perfect place for an ambush.
-i'm aware of that, holster your weapon!
-What?
-Holster your weapon!
-The hell? Okay, alright.
[gun shot]
-Yeah, Rucker?
-He's gone.
-What?
-Dad, he's gone. They killed him.
-Whoa, whoa! What are you
talking about? Oh no, not Biddle.
-What are we gonna do?
-Just hold on. Just hold on.
Listen, I'm coming. I'll be right there.
-Okay.
-I'll be right there!
America is mourning the death of
world renowned reporter Ayasha Locklear,
one of my former colleagues and my mentor.
We are at the location where evidence
of Ayasha's murder was found.
Warning. This video contains graphic content.
Ayasha was shot and killed
in an undisclosed location.
Retired SWAT Commander
Biddle Parks was also killed.
Police have no suspects and are still working
to locate the person who submitted the video.
Ayasha was part of an incredible duo
with her husband Daniel Locklear,
who died a year ago.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to their families.
Faye Soils, KSCN.
-Listen, I don't need this from you, Bristol.
You shitted on our marriage.
And now you tryin' to shit on me? If
I knew who did it, I'd kill them myself.
-I don't want revenge! I want justice.
That's what Biddle stood for.
-Three months, two friends gone and now my brother.
-Just find out what happened to your brother.
If you need anything... you know...
-Yeah...
I know.
-Have a seat.
-Let's take a look at that rsum.
And you're applying for
the office manager position?
-Yes sir. I was told you employ retired police and military.
-Have you ever managed an office?
-I've managed high level teams before.
So, I'm sure I'd be a great fit.
-Hmm.
-What's wrong?
-I don't think your experience
lines up with this position.
Have you considered something more physical?
-Physical?
[chuckle]
Physical?
Look, I can't I just can't. So
-One moment.
-Physical, everyone wants
you to do something physical.
-He's here, sir.
He came through the back.
-Yet, he lives?
-We need him.
-What's he like?
-Experienced, engaged, persistent.
-Strong?
-Looks strong enough.
-What do his eyes say?
-He's the one.
-He better be.
-Oh who is this, your bouncer?
You're throwing me out?
-Green Beret, Captain of the SWAT Team.
Covert Operations. Over 50 kills.
-Where did you get that?
-I lead our Recon division.
-I'm not interested.
-Our focus is to recover assets...
-I'm not interested.
-We have a retrieval rate of 99%.
-I said, I'm not interested!
-We pay exceptionally well.
Are you still comfortable with... killing?
-What?
-Clean kills, no torture, no mutilation, just simply
killing.
-Do you know what type
of hell I've been through?
-Hell? You know nothing of hell.
-Sir?
-Beg for mercy?
[chuckles]
Down there they call me, Cerberus. I protected
the gates of Hades, until I was exiled.
-You you worked in hell? And got fired?
You got to be kiddin' me, man.
[laughs]
This is funny. You worked in hell.
Got fired from hell.
-He thinks this is a joke.
Should we kill him?
I made it for you!
[chuckles]
I need you to retrieve an asset.
-Find somebody else.
-We did.
-You killed my brother?
-He's alive but not for long.
-I saw the video.
-Did you? Do you believe everything you see?
Save him, don't save him, your choice.
-Whatever it takes.
-I'll help you save your brother if you
return my asset, Ayasha Locklear.
-How am I supposed to find Hades? GPS?
-The difficulty's not in the map.
It's in the keys.
I can only get you so far,
so you must find another route.
You'll need these. The Ferryman
demands payment up-front to cross.
Head through the ruins and cross the river Styx,
and use the map to enter the gates of Hades.
You'll find your brother and my asset.
You'll need five more sections of the map.
Find Apollo, Athena, Ares, Medusa
-What's next, flying horses?
-Every other road leads to nowhere.
-If he's there, I'll find him.
-It's got gas. Hurry up, before he comes.
-Start, dammit!
-Hurry the hell up.
-Shit!
-What's takin' so long?
Let me do it. You're gonna get us killed.
-Stop it! I gotta concentrate! C'mon!
[engine starts]
Yes!
[gun shots]
[gun shot]
-Hey!
Just wanna cross man.
-Alright?
[sniffing]
[banging]
-Get off of me.
-You enter my home
showing your unworthy face?
Who are you and why are you
-Enough questions!
-Shall I slap the royal grin from your
face for pointing a gun at my direction?
My brother doesn't have my tact.
-You must be Athena.
-And you?
-Rucker, I need directions.
-Where?
-Hades.
[laugh]
-Why do you wish to die?
-I have to find my brother.
-In Hades? There is no rescue from Hades.
There is no hope for your brother.
Nor for you. Kill him.
-I have the map.
-What map?
-The map.
-Then you know there's no rescue for
your brother, not without a hand.
-What do you want?
-There is an evil, vile, grotesque
woman named, Medusa.
She's caused me
so much angst.
Bring me her head.
-What?
-My palm for Medusa's head.
A simple bargain.
-Why?
-I enjoy abstract art.
-Listen lady, I don't do heads and shit.
Now, if I find her, I'll bring to ya
-How dare you spew profanity in my presence.
-Oh! Sorry lady... and the tramp.
-Bring the pest to me
and you'll have your print.
-Hey!
Pow!
[gun shot]
[gun shot]
[gun shot]
[crackling]
[screaming]
-Gold.
[screaming]
-Drink now!
-Told you we were prime for an ambush.
-This was part of the plan.
-You wanted this to happen?
-Without going through that bridge to nowhere,
this was the only way to reach my subject.
-Before I die, at least tell me
who we're here to interview.
-Hades, they call him Hades.
-Hades... So, this is how I get to spend my retirement? Huh?
-Chasin' some guy who thinks he's the devil.
-Shhh.
-What a shitty plan.
-Would you stop?
-You act like you're in control.
You are not in control!
-A few more steps and I'll
we'll be in front of the subject.
-Yeah, and we'll be dead. Thanks a lot.
-Wait, is this your first capture? I specifically
requested someone with hostage experience.
-I have hostage experience. Finding hostages.
Negotiating the release of hostages.
Rescuing hostages. Not becoming one.
-Shut up!
-You signed up for this.
If you don't like it, just quit.
-I don't like it and I quit.
-Shut up!
-Good luck finding another job, quitter.
Tell them you blew a great opportunity.
-Shut!
-And you were on the
SWAT team? Such a whiner.
-Shut, shut, shut!
I said shut!
-That was over the top.
-I know, right?
What's up with him?
[gun shot]
-Hey! Hey! Listen, I'm just here to talk.
[gun shot]
-Stop shooting, Dammit!
[gun shot]
Hell with this...
[gun shots]
-Ahh!
-Come on out here.
Put your gun down.
Gun down!
And don't you move.
-Please don't hurt me.
-Look, all I was trying
-Who sent you? Who sent you to kill me?
-I'm not here to kill you.
-Lies.
-Listen, we gotta talk.
-We can talk in the afterlife.
-You need to calm down. I need your help.
-Yet you treat me like a prisoner.
-I need to reach Hades.
I was told your palm line could guide me.
-Do I look like the Ferryman?
You have nothing to barter.
-There's a woman named, Athena,
who wants your head. How about that?
-I don't think my palm is of much use.
-Dammit!
There's gotta be another way.
-There's only one solution.
-I'm listening.
-First, you lead me to Athena.
When she's dead, you'll have your print.
-I need Apollo.
-And you shall have him.
-They'll be coming in soon.
I'll just play the damsel in distress.
Tell them we have information for
Hades but we can only give it to him.
-And? That's crazy!
-Just do it and I'll handle the rest.
-If you think things will play out the way they will...
-Why are you in this area?
-No, no, please.
-What if your woman was hurt?
-Oh, that't not
-Please, don't tell him anything.
-Okay, I'll tell you.
We're looking for Hades.
-Liar! No one seeks the unnamed.
We have information for him.
-Tell me. I'll pass it to him.
-C'mon, man. Hades needs
to hear it for himself.
-You don't want to be the one
who keeps secrets from him.
-Please! Don't tell him anything.
-I'm impressed.
-You can stay in here and rot, prisoner!
-Wait, was that part of the
-Plan? No.
-Shit!
-This is where you'll find Apollo.
I'm not going in there, too many rules.
-Excuse me?
-Shhh.
-Is this Olympus?
-Olympus is all around you.
The realm of gold. The place of perfection.
Residence of the immortals.
Where knowledge turns kings into gods.
-Or nuts.
-Excuse me?
-Where can I find Apollo?
-No appointment? Nature of business?
-Hades.
-What?
[gun shot]
You are unmasked, but I'm not familiar
with you. Not a deity. Must be an outcast.
Come with me. I'll take you to Apollo.
[gun shot]
What you want from Apollo?
-I need to get to Hades.
-Hades is a result, not a destination.
-Not for me. I have to save someone.
-There is no saving in Hades, you will
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, I will die. I keep hearing that.
-I am Apollo.
-You don't look like an Apollo.
-But I am.
-Sure...
-I am Apollo.
-If you say so.
-I cannot provide the way to Hades, but I
will assist you.
What questions do you have?
-What up with the masks?
-They are nameless and faceless. They've
sacrificed their identities to protect their lords.
Their masks designate the level of royalty.
Only deities and those bathed in gold
may enter this place.
-Nice to know it wasn't personal.
-Required reading. To get to Hades, you
must know who and what you're looking for.
-Poseidon, lord of the sea.
Ares, lord of war. Medusa,
The Gorgon, Apollo, lord of truth...
-And healing.
-Athena, lord of wisdom...
-And you had no knowledge of this?
-History wasn't my best subject.
Hades, lord of the underworld.
-Quite impressive. No one has
made it past the Gorgon Medusa.
She must have
been a difficult foe.
-You don't know the half of it.
-And the map?
Stop by the bar on your way.
Tell them Apollo sent you.
I leave you one last piece of advice.
If you get out of Hades, do not turn back.
One glance, and you will be swallowed by darkness.
-When I'm out, I'm out. You don't have to
worry about me goin' back.
-Emotions have a way of
drawing men toward danger.
Then punishing them for their interest.
You have two weeks to return the book.
-Did you get it?
-Yeah. You don't want to see this.
Fine.
-Who created such a thing?
Quite the imagination, huh? Zeus with a thunderbolt.
Poseidon with an underwater chariot?
Is this what they think of me?
-I'm sorry.
-Well, maybe I am, thanks to Athena and Poseidon.
I'll give them a monster.
-C'mon now. Damn Medusa!
It's just a picture. Calm down.
-Just a picture? You do not know what
she did to me. What they did to me.
[sizzling]
-Ahh! Why?! Ahh!
[gun shot]
-Medusa? Medu
-Medusa?
-Where is my son?
-You mean my son.
You have no claim to him.
-You used me, took away my son.
Left me for dead, turn around!
You would kill the father
of your child? For justice?
-No, vengeance.
[gun shot]
That's for my son you stole.
And that's for what you stole from me!
Die, if you wish to.
I'm sorry. I was just tryin to
-They took my son away, and one
day I will find everybody that hurt us.
-Look, I'll help you find your son.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, where you going?
-I have business to attend to. I'll be back later.
-Okay? Business.
-How can we guard Olympus if you brutalize
our guards? You are wild as the Ferryman.
-This is preparation for war.
-Then use the bronze, not our gold.
You must think, brother.
[chuckle]
-I should listen to you?
Because of you, we've
lost 5 guards to Medusa.
You should have killed her a long time ago.
-I could have.
-And look what you've created.
-What better punishment than to take away her
most treasured attribute? Her beauty.
She will remember me every
time she looks in the mirror.
-And now you have a vengeful woman
stalking you. Let's go to her lair and end this.
-Do I look worried?
She will be brought to me.
Her head will be my footstool.
-And if you fail, you will be my footstool, my sister.
-Right.
Why don't you challenge me instead?
[laugh]
I see why you need practice.
[coughing]
-Looks like we got a rich one here.
-This should get us a pretty penny for this one.
-Okay, are you going to the theater?
-Why?
-Because you'd be the first
going under their own free will.
-Who are you?
-Lucas.
-And you, officer?
-Rucker.
-Well, Rucker. I suggest
you put your pistol away.
And you're going to get yourself killed
walking out here unmasked.
[chuckle]
-And I should listen to a guy
dressed like an art teacher?
-Art teacher? Professor.
And if you don't start listening, you're
not gonna step away from this place alive.
-Okay, professor. How do
you propose we get inside?
-Follow me.
Hand. Put it in.
-Music's that bad, huh?
-It's not that.
-Without these, you're not
gonna step foot out of here.
Stay here with me, forevermore.
Don't ever leave, leave me this way.
Stay here with me, forevermore.
Stay here with me, forevermore
-They're under the effects of a drug.
This music enhances the effect.
It makes them unresponsive.
Stay here with me, forevermore
-I've something special for you and you, Atlas.
-Whoo! Man, you got jacked up. Hope
the other guy looks worse than you do.
-Not easy rescuing people one at a time.
Besides, the Ferryman's is getting too expensive.
Phones won't work in here. The only
place the phone will work is from Hades.
-And you know this, how?
-I get pieces of information from the people I rescue.
-Courtesy of Apollo.
-Apollo?
-It's a derivative of Scopolamine.
-Say what?
-Devil's breath.
It's in everything around here.
You see, they cross pollinated devil's
breath with some kind of synthetic fertilizer.
Food, water, you name it.
Never order an open drink...
and don't eat anything...
and never trust Apollo.
-What are you talking about?
Apollo's a good dude.
I mean he's a little bit trigger happy,
but he's a good dude.
-Good dude, huh?
Apollo is not a good dude.
-Man, did you see that? Did you see that?
What the hell is going on down here man?
-Only gold.
-Same shit here too, eh?
-Yeah, that, well. The gold are the most trusted,
silver, they protect Olympus, and the rest are expendable.
-Yeah, that's why I joined SWAT.
Thought I could change the system.
The system ain't ready to change.
Then you got these crazies walking around
-Not crazy. They believe
in what they've created.
-Delusional.
-Are they?
What if everything you learned, everything
you believed, everything you remember Rucker,
was taught in error? Would you believe
the known error or the unknown truth?
-It's always about the truth, Lucas. Always.
How do I stop them?
-They are not the ones to stop.
-Then who?
-You see, Rucker, when society is
compromised, men often imitate past
civilizations, whether mythical or real,
in order to develop a new one...
and when their logic is bypassed by some
outside source, that's when you get this
tainted, bastardization of a culture
to exist. You must find that source.
-Hades?
-Hades.
I've been searching for this
society for years. It's fascinating.
Watching how a community evolves
trying to replicate Greek gods.
Then you learn these people,
they are not here by choice.
That's when it becomes a tragedy.
-You could have called the police.
-Yeah, right. And they'd believe me?
You've seen it and don't believe it.
There are some things the police can't find,
don't know, or don't want known.
-So, sit back and do nothing?
-Of course not.
If I can rescue one more, one
more than they capture, maybe...
-Maybe you don't make it.
-I've been warned.
It's not going to stop me.
-I got your back.
-I got a feeling you'll need these.
-Say. You want to tag along?
Save these folks together?
-I'll be fine. I have a feeling
you're gonna see me again.
-Shipped in this morning from the coast.
The finest Olympus has to offer.
Take a bite or at least a sip.
-Never touch my wife. Filthy hands.
-But sir, I was protecting
-Never!
[crack]
-They're gonna find me and arrest you.
-For what?
I haven't touched you. I haven't harmed you.
I only wanna make you a queen.
-I don't want to be queen. I want to be free.
-You are free.
[gun shot]
-Right place, right time?
-This is no safe place.
I thought you might need me.
-I did.
-Gimme, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Just trying to thanking you.
-Instinct.
-Do you remember what
happened before you got here?
-What do you mean by got here?
This is my home.
-There was a home before you got
to this place. This place isn't real.
Somebody brought you here and
filled your head with all that bullshit.
And the sooner you realize it, the better.
-Do these burns look real enough?
-Does this gun look real enough to you?
Do these burns look real enough?
If I shoot you, would that feel real enough?
-There you go, always ready to shoot somebody.
Listen, I'm on your side.
All I'm just trying to do is save you.
-I don't need saving. I need my life back.
I need my son back. Can you do that for me?
Can you stop the pain?
-I can't...
Then I'll continue to kill
until the pain goes away.
-You know, I really don't think you're as
bad as you seem. Let me just help you.
Not Not save you, help you.
Maybe one day we won't have to kill.
We can just be.
-I'd like that.
-Well, if we're gonna get Athena,
we have to be strategically.
Now, I trusted you. Now,
you have to trust me.
[loud knocking]
-He did it. I didn't think
he had the guts to try.
How are you gonna kill her?
-You know, I hadn't thought about it.
So many choices. Slow, fast,
upside down, I don't know.
Bring her inside.
Mr. Rucker, you may have earned
your place as a demigod.
I'm not interested in that.
I just want your palm print.
-And you shall have it.
Now, leave us.
-Ten seconds.
-You too, this is a private matter.
-Where's my weapon?
-Outside the door.
-She got away.
[gun shot]
-What kind of place is this?
-This was my home. After Poseidon...
Athena wanted me dead.
I tried to start a new life
but she wouldnt let me.
-Damn.
-She set this whole place on
fire and I barely made it out.
-Die Medusa?
-The map.
-Your brother should be here. We should leave.
-Another night, another missed meal.
It's very good.
Nothing to say?
-Home. Please, let me go?
-Why would you leave? I've made you a queen.
A goddess. A community at your beck and call.
Men bow before you. Wealth beyond
-My family. I miss my family. My life.
-Your life was nothing... before me.
-My life is nothing now.
-Nothing? Loved by a god?
-If you loved me.
If you truly loved me, you would let me go.
-This is your home.
-I don't want it.
I don't love you. I never loved you.
-You will.
[sparking]
-This is truly torture.
-You can't be serious.
My arms are about to fall off and you're
complaining about a damn puzzle?
You wanna switch?
[sparking]
-I got you, I got you.
-Oww!
I've been gone for a minute
and you got braids and shit.
You're a sight for sore eyes, boy. And they're locks.
It's a long story, right now we gotta go.
-Not yet.
-If you were carrying weights above your
head, you'd be running from this place.
-Your brother?
-Yeah.
-If we leave now, I won't get to see Hades.
I have to see Hades.
-And if we stay, we're dead.
Ayasha, admit it. Your plan failed.
We gotta go!
-How did you know where to find us?
-A friend of yours.
-A friend?
-Cerberus, big guy kinda crazy. Ring a bell?
-Mr. Totem?
-Yes.
-He sent you?
-Yes.
-And told you it was for my protection?
-Yes.
-And you believed him?
-Yes. Look, let's talk about this when we find a safe
place. Not here, not now. Right now, we gotta go.
-C'mon, C'mon!
-Shhh! Don't scream,
I'm here to take you home.
-Who are you?
-I'll tell you later. We have to go, now!
-They been abducting people
and bringin' them here.
We can't just leave this place
and pretend nothing happened.
-Of course not, as soon as we get outta here,
we're gonna call in every cop to shut this shit down.
-You helped them escape? How?
What did you tell them?
Where were you taking my wife? Be still.
-You're gonna die first, that's too bad.
Fore!
-What did you do to him?
-I asked questions, he gave answers.
It wasn't difficult.
-He only wished to help me.
For that, you killed him?
I need help. You let me die
rather than let me go home?
-Expose our resources?
-You said you loved me.
-Eat. We can live here... together in peace.
-You would trade this
place over my life?
-So uh, you got a husband
or a boyfriend or anything?
-I did. No more.
-What happened? Ya'll break up?
-I shot him...twice.
-Dayum.
What do you think about my brother?
-He's a fine warrior.
-Ahh! I think he likes you. Aye! I
know my brother and he's into crazy.
-Be silent.
-Hey, you know he's single, right?
-Do you not fear me?
-Compared to Rucker's ex-wife, you're an angel.
-Oooh! I saw that. You like him, don't you.?
-If you say anything, I will kill you in your sleep.
-Is that a body?
-Damn.
-You know him?
-Yeah.
He only tried to save these people.
He didn't deserve this.
-Did you check everything? One of them is
tricky. I know you. Why are you here?
And you should be kneeling.
-I want to interview you.
-Ayasha. Not again.
Let it go.
-Oh, the great Ayasha Locklear,
came to Olympus to interview Hades.
-You know my name?
-What do you think, my dear?
-Can we just kill them and be done with it?
See why I love this woman.
We think so much alike now.
Let them finish their questions.
-Who are you? What is this place?
-This is the future.
-Bullshit.
-Who gave this gnat permission to speak to me?
-Damn, Ruck. He called you a gnat, man.
Let me take him.
Had me holdin' that big ass rock. Let me get him.
-Our lives are based on hierarchy.
-And they trust a man who calls himself Hades?
Who lives here?
-Those who desire more. Those who've
allowed their minds to be elevated.
Hades is not just a place,
is not just a person, it's a culture.
Humanities Advancing the
Development of an Ethos Society.
We change the environment
and the belief system follows.
-A social experiment?
-Yes.
-At the expense of lives.
-Why concern yourself with the lab rats?
When the cure is so much greater.
-Being kidnapped is not a choice.
-Kidnapped? No, simply a push.
-Can I? It won't be long.
-Let me ask you a question, reporter.
If you start over, build a new world?
Would you?
-A world of slaves.
-A world based on simple rules.
Serve me and honor the immortals.
-By makin' people wear masks and shit. Serve you?
-What mask are you hiding behind?
-Look, I ain't Lucas. I will kick your ass.
-No, no, no, it's cool, it's cool. I just
wanna test this whole immortal thing.
You know? One-on-one. No guns. C'mon.
What do you say, Hades?
-That's what makes me immortal.
Those who would die for me make me immortal.
Kill them!
-Please! I have one more question.
You know my husband.
-I recall.
You ask questions, when you know the answer. End this!
-Ha! Didn't see that one coming,
did you? Fake ass Fabio.
-I choose whether you live or die.
Go ahead, pull
the trigger. Shoot me.
-We're leaving.
-No you're not, not yet.
-Stop me.
-I haven't shown you my surprise. A reunion.
-Someone you may wanna see.
Someone who wants to see you.
-Let's go
-Get them!
-Let's go! We can't turn right now.
C'mon we are almost there!
-Mother! Help me mother!
-No, no you can't turn back now.
-I have to get my child.
-My mother!
-No!
It's a setup!
-It's time for you to become one of us.
Are you ready? Pay attention, are you ready?
-I'm sorry, mom.
[gun shot]
[music plays]
-Yeah.
-Tyson, this is Rucker.
-Where you been? We've been lookin' all over for you.
-There's no time, I got a major situation going on.
-Alright. Where are you?
-Beyond the bridge.
-Beyond the There is no beyond the bridge.
-If they have a bronze, silver, or
gold mask, they are your target.
Now, if they don't have a mask at all,
shoot them anyway.
-Wow, masks?
-If you don't come now, you'll be collecting bodies for
days.
You'll see what I'm saying and bring everything you have.
-Alright. I'll be there.
-Hey, I owe you man.
-I have to find the truth...
-We should check out your house.
-What happened to him?
-I had a shoot in Mexico.
He had a story in LA. Something about
mistreatment at mental institutions.
He told me he would set us up financially for years.
I didn't hear from him for couple weeks.
-A couple of weeks?
-That's not unusual for us.
-Did he leave a message or anything?
-Hey, you. Can't drive to the location. I know.
hate these changing assignments too.
Shut everything down.
-Anything sound suspicious?
-Everything. If you knew him...
He's never that informal. Never calls me, "you."
Someone had to be listening to this messages.
-May I? Got an idea. I think
I know what he's doing.
-Hey, you. Can't drive to the location.
I know hate these changing
assignments too, drive to the location I know
hate these changing I know (Hades)
I know (Hades)
-He's talking about Hades.
-Yeah, you ever see him again?
-Yeah, when I had to identify his body
after you stuffed him into his own trunk.
-I'm sorry.
-There was a note in his car.
-Problem with the interview. Tried to get
it to the source, but it was late and my
ticket expired. You have to take care of
things. Don't wait up for me.
Don't wait up for me? Kite.
-Yep.
Smart man. He's usin' a prison kite code.
-He knew he was gonna get killed.
Whatever info he had, he
wanted to make sure you had it.
-He capitalized "me".
-Does that mean anything to you?
-No. wait... We met on an assignment in Maine.
-Maine.
-Don't worry about all the cameras. It's just procedure.
You've got nothing to worry about.
Have you been treated?
-They got me in this... thing.
I can't breathe. I don't want to be here.
-Do you feel the government is
concerned about mental health?
-This government? They won't help me...
"Cause they're afraid of you." They should be.
-What's the reason they placed you in this institution?
-They said I did something a sane
person wouldn't do...couldn't do.
[chuckles]
"I got a present for you. Come in"
"I broked them."
-You what?
"Broked them into pieces. I broked 'bout
30 of them and dumped them in a ditch."
"Hades told me to do it."
-Who is Hades, my friend?
-"They don't want me to talk no more.
They want me to" break you.
-You can tell me.
-And you will free us from these confines?
-I will.
-He was the former head of the EPA.
He built Olympus from the ground up. Everyone
thought he was dead, but he's very much alive.
-What's his real name?
-Rawlings... Donald Rawlings.
-Donald Rawlings is alive?
-I've answered your questions.
-Get me outta here.
-I need the surveillance footage.
-Get me out of here!
-I can't, yet. Just sit tight. Ill see if I can pull
some strings. Any last words for the camera?
-Yeah, come here. The next time you see me
will be the last. "Break him!" Yes break
-We need to get Totem.
Find him before he finds you.

-Are you sure you wanna do this? It may not end well.
-I need to know. I need closure.
-Ah! Well done. Mr. Totem will be pleased.
-I aim to please.
-Ayasha. Welcome. Do you have something for me?
-Yes.
-Hmm
-What did you do to my husband?
-He screamed. He screamed so loud.
I didn't like it. I made him quiet.
-You killed him.
-He was weak. He deserved it.
The drive, now.
-Mass delete all copies of the file.
-Yes, Sir.
-So, you want to kill us? Hold it steady.
-Ayasha!
-Like this, now. Do it now.
-Ayasha!
-Pull the trigger on this monster.
-Let me show you how to kill.

[doorbell rings]

REPORTING NEWS
AYASHA LOCKLEAR
A NEW HERO FOR A NEW DAY
AYASHA LOCKLEAR
-Ms. Locklear. It's exciting to finally meet you.
I've heard so much about you.
You remind me of... me, before. Never lose that joy.
-Thank you, Ms. Locklear.
-We're about to go live. Are you ready? Follow me.
-Sure.
Thank you so much for being here with us
this morning, it is an honor to have you here.
-Thank you, it's so great to be here with you.
-So, Ayasha...
I'm not sure anyone has faced
more highs and lows than you.
From the death of your husband, to
your own reported death, to exposing
a kidnapping ring, and finally, winning
a Chronos Award for your work.
Would you tell our viewers, how did you keep it together?
-Who says I kept it all together?
Honestly, I just stopped trying
to prove myself to my audience.
I just focused on telling my story.
On finishing telling my husband's story.
-And what did you learn from this experience?
-So many things, that when you
seek chaos, you usually find it...
and here's so much evil in this world that you
forget that there's also good in the world.
Humanity, sacrifice, friends. memories,
you take it all for granted and then it's gone.
-Such an important message. It was
an amazing story. What next?
-What else? I'm a reporter.
On to the next story.
-Thank you so much Ayasha,
Faye Solis, KSCN.
