[ominous, rhythmic music playing]
[eagle cries]
[mournful aria playing]
[inhales sharply, groans]
[Zeus] What the
[Lachesis] Gods don't bleed, Zeus.
- [gasps]
- [Hera] It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
- [Zeus] Where Where am I?
- Shh.
- Darling, you're at home. You're at home.
- [whimpers]
Minos.
Minos is dead, isn't he? He failed.
His prophecy came true.
It did, yes, but it's it's it's okay.
- It's okay.
- [Zeus] I was bleeding.
- I was mortal again.
- Shh, shh.
[quietly] Kaos reigns. Kaos reigns.
- What?
- [Zeus] The prophecy.
- It was done.
- Zeus, this was just a dream.
It was just a dream. [gasps, groans]
[thunder rumbles]
It wasn't a dream.
[Hera groans, gasps]
- It was a vision.
- [ominous music pulsing]
I have to stop them before it's too late.
I am going to see the Fates.
[shakily] Okay, yes. You do that.
- [gasps softly]
- [door opens]
[ominous music echoes, fades]
[worker clears throat]
No one saw him leave?
None of you?
- Really?
- No, ma'am.
Get out.
Everybody, just get out. Get out.
Get out!
[phone ringing]
[sighs deeply]
[ringing continues]
Yes?
How is Hades?
He's asleep.
Well, I need you to wake him up
and bring him back here. Now.
I beg your pardon?
Do you seriously
expect us to come back to Olympus?
Persephone, I'm sorry about what happened.
Really, I am.
It was appalling.
But I need you now. I need both of you.
We need to pull together,
and we need to think about the family.
I am not part of the family.
Persephone, it's always
better to come willingly.
You don't want to be fetched.
And bring a sandwich. I'm not catering.
[call disconnects]
[receiver clatters]
[Medusa] Sir.
[Hades] May I come in?
[grunts]
[Hades sighs]
I've taken too much from humans, Medusa.
I have a plan for the underworld.
I'm going to improve things,
restore things.
You must help Persephone while I'm gone.
We'll make this place as it was,
better than it was.
- Farewell.
- [Medusa] Where are you going, sir?
[Hades] To defy my brother.
["I'm Alive" playing]
We've been expecting you.
I'm alive! ♪
And I see things mighty clear today ♪
He's not No, he wouldn't do that.
Want a beer?
- [defiant rock music cuts out]
- [fluorescent lights droning]
So, it's time for you to destroy us.
[sweetly] Is that right?
How did you know that?
Zeus, we're everywhere.
We're outside you looking in.
We're inside you looking out.
We are you.
Then again, we're nothing to do with.
- [sighs] You lied to Poseidon.
- [eerie music playing]
No!
We told him
Minos could kill his son, and he did.
Is it our fault
if everybody misunderstood the prophecy?
For your prophecy to come to pass,
you must bring it into being.
If you decide it doesn't exist,
then it doesn't exist.
But it does exist.
The possibility exists,
but without your belief,
it cannot come to pass.
Oh, shut up. You sound like Prometheus.
[Clotho] You want to destroy us
because in doing so,
you think all prophecies, including yours,
will also be destroyed, right?
Don't be scared.
- I'm not scared.
- [Atropos] Yes, you are.
[Zeus] What should I be scared of?
[Lachesis] Perhaps those
that are moving against you.
[chilling strings fade out]
[Poseidon] Where is he?
- He'll be here soon.
- [Dionysus] How is he?
[Hera] Not good,
hence the meeting. Sit down.
Hades is coming?
- Yes.
- [Hera sighs]
He's just a bit slow, as you can imagine.
He sent me on ahead.
Now, why is he slow?
- Your father struck him with lightning.
- [alarmed] Wait, what?
Again, hence the meeting.
He'll come for all of you eventually.
[dark, ethereal music playing]
[Poseidon sighs]
You really did bring a sandwich?
- [Persephone] Mm-hmm.
- [Dionysus] What's in it?
Brie.
- Did you only bring one?
- Yeah.
Ooh. I've got a question for you
while we're waiting. Why the story?
- Sorry?
- About me and Hades, why did you care?
Well, you must have
to bother making it up.
Get it in all the human books. You know?
Every kid on Earth,
when they learn about the underworld,
they think I'm there against my will.
They pity me.
They think I was kidnapped,
raped, in some cases.
And a pomegranate
I don't eat pomegranate. I'm allergic.
They think I don't love Hades. Never did.
[Dionysus] Wait, is that not true?
You love my uncle for real?
Yeah.
So, everyone's in love, apart from me.
[scoffs] Who else is in love?
I mean, no one. Um, just I I want to be.
[ominous strings playing]
We know what you are going to do.
So, where do you want us?
How about here? Center of the room.
[Atropos] Ah, boring!
- Well, on the stage, then.
- Bit predictable, don't you think?
[sighs]
Well, in the poolroom.
- Oh.
- Ooh.
- I like that room.
- I
You know, this is kind of anticlimactic.
Anticlimactic because, uh, you know,
you knowing and and and helping
Well, sure,
but knowing is our whole thing.
- It's foretold.
- You can't just spring shit on us.
This was meant to happen?
If you want it to, yeah.
It's the right thing.
- So it's the right thing?
- [Lachesis] Let's get some fuel going.
- Come on, darling.
- Ah!
[haunting vocals resonate]
[Clotho] Yes!
[Lachesis] Right, everyone in position.
Fire was what you wanted, wasn't it?
- Yes.
- [Lachesis] Just checking.
You got a light?
It's been a pleasure.
- Sometimes.
- Good luck.
Yes, good luck with everything.
Focus. Focus.
Yes, yes!
[dramatic vocals rise]
[quietly] Goodbye.
Wait. Hey. Hey, wait a minute.
Where'd you get that watch?
[Lachesis] Oh yeah. Sorry.
Ah! Ooh!
[glass shattering]
- Where Where did you get this watch?
- [Lachesis] He's naughty, isn't he?
He who? Who? Who?
[Lachesis] Your son.
- [music fades]
- [loud rumbling]
[explosion echoes]
[gasps softly]
[wind whistling]

[quietly] Oh my fucking god.
[intense, rhythmic music playing]
[exhales resolutely]
[sighs]
[huffs] One of you wake me up in five.
[exhales]
- [knocking on door]
- [snakes hiss]
[under breath] You've gotta be
fucking kidding me.
[sighs]
How long have you known? About the Frame?
About the Nothing?
We are destroying people.
We need to tell them. We need to stop it.
Absolutely not.
You don't understand
the whole picture, Caeneus.
And you're not supposed to.
Riddy was the important one.
I'll move you.
You don't have to think
about the Frame anymore.
You can go back to your dog and the port.
No. No! Absolutely not.
There's a plan beyond you, Caeneus.
There's a greater good.
Just keep your head down
and don't do anything stupid.
[bittersweet, energetic music playing]
Good luck!
Thanks.
Shall we?
[Caeneus] Tell them what we saw,
what Hades did,
what we think the gods are!
Yes.
After you.
You like him, don't you?
- Who?
- [Orpheus] Canus. Little baby face.
- [Riddy] Caeneus.
- [scoffs]
You like him. I know you.
No, I don't like him. I [inhales sharply]
[sighs]
- I
- [softly] What?
I'm sorry.
[gentle music playing]
I came from Earth
to the underworld, Riddy.
I passed every single test.
I've done what no human being
has ever done before.
I know I took your coin
but I also saved your life.
- I had gods rooting for us.
- [inhales sharply]
And you've fallen in love
with someone else.
Well, fuck me.
Yeah, fuck you.
What?
Fuck you.
You You trapped me down here,
and you want what?
A A A medal?
For setting me free?
- You want gratitude? I
- [Orpheus] I
Did you ever wonder
why I died where I did?
Why I wasn't at the concert?
I went to see my mom.
To say goodbye.
I I was I was going to leave Krete.
I was leaving you, Orpheus.
[softly] What?
It It wasn't love anymore.
- It was need. You needed me.
- Of course it was love.
I just didn't know how to tell you.
And then, the day that I finally got
the courage to do the right thing, I died.
"The right thing"?
Leaving me was the right thing?
Tell me that you didn't know
something was wrong.
Deep down.
Tell me.
I'm a bad person, aren't I?
- No, you're not.
- Yes, I am.
- You're not.
- [Orpheus] Yes, I am, Riddy.
I am! I took your fucking coin!
[breathing shakily]
Begin again.
Let's both begin again.
Take me back to Earth.
Don't you want to stay here?
With him?
I can't.
Why not?
I need to go back.
Come on.

- Welcome. Blessed Renewal.
- Blessed Renewal.
- Welcome.
- Moving along, please. Blessed Renewal.
- Can we move along, please?
- [Caeneus] Prue! Adrian!
- [Prue] Thank you. Happy Renewal.
- [Caeneus] Adrian.
- I need your help.
- Did you get into trouble?
What? No. Look, we have to stop people
going through the Frame.
- What? Why?
- Please, just listen to me.
- As I said, I walked into quite
- Prue, will you shut the fuck up?
- Caeneus!
- [hesitates] Sorry, I
[mother] Sorry about my son's manners.
[somber, ethereal music playing]
Hello.
[distant thunder rumbling]
[sounds distort]
[distortion rises, fades]
- [distortion building, stops abruptly]
- [Hades grunts]
[exhales sharply]
[eerie music fades]
How did How did you die?
I shot myself.
What? Why?
I wanted to do it
the night they buried you without a coin.
But I had to wait.
You. You betrayed me.
No, Caeneus. I didn't.
You led them to me.
[mother] Yes, because you had
to fulfill your prophecy.
I waited ten years.
[unsettling music rises]
And today's the day.
[Caeneus] What?
That I take you through the Frame.
No. No, Mom,
you mustn't go through the Frame.
It isn't what you think.
The gods lied to us.
Mom, no one goes back to Earth. No one.
Stay here with me.
Here, we can help people.
You and me. Please.
Just stay.
Mom! No!
Mom, stop!
Today, Caeneus!
Mom! No!
- [mother] It has to be today.
- [Caeneus] No!
[fateful strings playing]
[Caeneus] Mom!
[grunts] Stop!
- Prue.
- [Prue] Yeah?
- Prue, look.
- [Prue] What?
[Caeneus] Mom! Please!
[mother] You see?
No! No!
[panting]
- [Medusa] The fuck's goin' on?
- [Caeneus] Wait!
Caeneus.
- [Caeneus] Wait!
- Caeneus can get in the water.
[Caeneus] Stop!
The Frame The Frame is a lie!
No, it's not.
Get out of the river, Caeneus!
Come back here!
[Prue gasps]
Caeneus! Come back here!
[energy pulses]
[sounds fade]
[mournful, ethereal music rises]
[Prometheus] What? No
The Fates said he'd be protected.
That when Caeneus
went through the Frame, it would happen.
The prophecy. "The family falls."
They said I'd be free.
[quietly] Oh fuck.
[sobbing]
[Hera] Zeus.
- Zeus, sit down.
- [Zeus] What?
Look, you've you've
you've, uh, gathered the family.
- Yes, I have.
- [Zeus] Why? Why? Why?
Zeus, I am worried about you.
We are all worried about you,
and we want you to stop.
- Stop? What?
- [Hera] Yes.
Because you are going to destroy
everything that we have created together.
You've got to stop!
- You need a break.
- Sit.
[Hera] You [scoffs]
Hera!
Sit your ass down.
Park it.
[Zeus snaps]
[cart rattles]
Very good.
I was informed of this, uh meeting.
That'll be all.
- What is that?
- [Zeus] These?
These are, uh, bottles of Meander
water.
And I have one for each of you.
Well, not not for you.
- What's the meaning of this?
- [Dionysus] Why's mine half full?
For too long,
you've all been dippin' your cups
in the Meander without remembering,
without gratitude.
That changes today.
- You will be rationed.
- [laughs]
You will be grateful.
- And you'll be obedient, all of you.
- [Dennis meows]
Shut that creature up.
- Zeus Zeus, come on.
- I just destroyed the Fates.
- You've what?
- [Dionysus] Huh?
- [Poseidon] Are you out of your mind?
- Zeus!
[clicks tongue] The Fates are dead.
There are no more prophecies.
A world without fate,
without its intrinsic order?
- That's just
- I am order.
- I created it.
- [thunder rumbling]
I took a world of chaos,
and I made it make sense.
I brought stability, rule,
law, cohesion to this fuckin' place,
and it'd do you all good to remember that.
There's no need for fate.
Not anymore.
But there is a need for loyalty.
And, uh I don't see it here.
So, Olympus must be brought into line,
once and for all.
You ask why your bottle is half full.
Tell me, Dionysus,
why did Lachesis, or Lachy,
you know, the Fate,
why did she have this on her wrist
as she burnt to oblivion?
Are you a traitor?
Are you, what? Moving against me?
[Dionysus] No. No.
- Zeus, look
- It was for love.
[Zeus] Mm-hmm?
I gave your watch to the Fates
so that a mortal
could get his wife back from the dead.
[Zeus] Mm-hmm.
And he failed the quiz,
but he loved his wife.
- I've never seen anything like it.
- [Zeus] I see.
Okay, at first,
maybe I did it to prove a point,
to impress you, to get promoted,
piss you off, I don't know, but
the more I saw of him,
of his love, the more I just
I wanted him to be able to get her back.
Because we lie to them, to humans.
They just die and go into the Nothing.
And that's it.
So I just wanted to give them
a second chance before that happened.
Just a few more years.
So I gave them your watch.
Sorry.
Um, do you know
about this mortal, Persephone?
[quietly] Yeah. Yeah. [inhales sharply]
[Zeus] And?
[Persephone scoffs]
He failed. [chuckles]
He's dead.
Good.
Well, it feels it feels odd.
For once, uh, I want to praise you.
We do not bring back the dead, Dionysus.
We do not do it.
And, love
Well, human love, that needy,
cloying, unsophisticated stuff
that they experience,
it's not somethin' to be admired.
Do you know why?
Do you?
It's It's weakness.
- No! [gasps]
- [Dennis yowls]
- [Hera gasps]
- [Dionysus whimpers]
I suppose you think
that you loved that cat.
Well, you didn't.
[grunts] You're a god.
We're gods.
We don't bleed.
We don't die.
And, uh, we don't love anything
lesser than ourselves.
- [thunder rumbles]
- [buzzing]
[frantic screams erupt outside]
What is that?
Oh, that? Yes, that would be the bees.
[Dionysus gasps]
I just set fire to your bees.
[menacing strings playing]
[Zeus] You will not keep the mothers
of my children slaves like that.
So you killed them instead?
[Zeus] There will be others.
You won't control me anymore.
- Hera. Come with me.
- [music subsides]
Sorry?
- Come with me, now.
- [Hera splutters]
I love her.
I love you.
[scoffs]
[laughs]
Aw.
Don't you dare.
I am your queen.
Okay, look, that is, um
I think that it's time that you, Poseidon,
uh, took a break from your position.
You can come back and, uh
ask for more
after you've, uh, calmed down.
Now, considering that you're no longer
to be trusted,
here's the here's the plan.
I shall be taking charge of your city.
Every city, in fact, from now on,
including the City of the Dead.
You
[ominous music rising]
[quietly]grow up.
You
uh, tell your husband
that he can, um, have his bottle
when he comes and collects it.
And, you
you stay right here.
[door opens, closes]
[music fades]
[Prometheus] What are you doing here?
Would a, uh would a "well done,"
would that kill ya?
You want a "well done" from me?
Why do you care what I think?
I defied my prophecy.
And you're my best friend.
Oh really?
Who keeps their best friend like this?
Who does this?
It's your own fault that you're here.
You betrayed me.
I didn't betray you!
That's the fucking tragedy!
I couldn't do it!
That's the only reason
you're still in power, Zeus!
My weakness, not your streng
Where'd he go?
I didn't do that. Who did that?
[somber piano music playing]
I'm sorry about your mom.
And your kitten.
For what it's worth, what you feel
for that creature is not weakness.
It's the opposite.
They just don't understand that.
There's nothing here for you, Dionysus.
Maybe the better part of you is human.
[grunts]
[straining]
[cries out]
[panting]
Ma!
Ma!
Go get my mother!
And Daedalus is in the labyrinth.
Go fetch him!
[indistinct radio chatter]
[Ari grunts]
[mother] Ari?
Ari, what is it?
[gasps] Ari!
[Ari] Look at him!
Look at him!
That's the Minotaur.
No, it's Glaucus.
[gentle, somber music playing]
What?
He didn't die when he was a baby.
Dad did it. Dad did this for the gods.
[crying] Mama, I tried to save him.
I really tried.
[crying softly] Glaucus.
[sighs] I killed him.
I killed Dad.
Good.
[sniffles]
- [music fades]
- [insects chirring]
[Riddy grunts]
[Orpheus straining]
Is this real?
[Orpheus panting]
Is this the way that you came in?
[chuckles]
Yeah.
This is it.
But there was a building there.
Is that your car?
[Orpheus laughs] Oh shit, yeah. Yeah.
Fuck.
[chuckles]
I've got my fucking keys.
[laughs]
Do you, uh
Do you want a ride?
Do you want to go home, maybe?
Orpheus,
can you look at me?
Please look at me.
I don't want to.
Why?
Because you're not coming
with me, are you?
No.
That's okay.
That's okay.
Can you please look at me?
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
[gentle music playing]
You got me my life back, Orpheus.
Thank you.
Come here.
Goodbye.
Bye.
[exhales]
[sniffles]
[softly] Okay.
- [car starts]
- [softly] Okay.
- [sighs deeply]
- [music fades out]
I want to change Krete.
You can.
You rule it now.
The gods have chosen you.
I'm not gonna rule for the gods.
[somber orchestral music playing]
[gasps]
You?
- Who are you?
- My name's Cassandra.
I'm a prophet.
So are you now.
You must go to Ari
and set the living free.
Caeneus will do the same with the dead.
[Riddy breathing shakily]
