00:02:13Well?
00:02:25Zeus, king of the gods of the Greeks.
00:02:30Write in the ashes so that I may read the future.
00:02:37I see...
00:02:39a great tree at the end of the world.
00:02:43And in its branches there hang the skull and the skin of a ram.
00:02:48They gleam and shine, for it is a prize of the gods.
00:02:52A golden fleece.
00:02:54We've no time for riddles and mysteries. Tell me of tonight.
00:03:01Elias, you will conquer tonight.
00:03:05You will overthrow the kingdom of Thessaly.
00:03:08You will kill the king, Aristo, and wear his crown.
00:03:11You will do all these things without fear or wound, because Zeus commands it.
00:03:16If I am protected by Zeus, I will have no need of this.
00:03:21I will lay it on the fire as a thank-offering to the gods.
00:03:25Elias, it is also foretold...
00:03:29that although you will win the throne of Aristo...
00:03:32you will, when Zeus ordains...
00:03:35lose it to one of Aristo's children.
00:03:41Then Aristo will have no children.
00:03:43He has three, Pallas.
00:03:45Two daughters, Philomela and Briseis...
00:03:48and a son, Jason.
00:03:51Then two daughters and a son will die with their father tonight.
00:03:59THE THRONE OF ARISTOTLE
00:04:29THE THRONE OF ARISTOTLE
00:04:59Hera, queen of gods, protect this child, my sister Philomela.
00:05:03And if I, Briseis, am worthy, take me into your protection.
00:05:29THE THRONE OF ARISTOTLE
00:05:44Are you Briseis, the daughter of Aristo?
00:05:47Be silent. She is praying.
00:05:52For her sister and for her murdered father, Aristo.
00:05:57Are you a priestess?
00:05:59I serve the gods.
00:06:01Then tell me, has Briseis called upon the goddess Hera?
00:06:04She has.
00:06:06And has the goddess heard her prayer?
00:06:08Yes.
00:06:11Then pray for me.
00:06:18It is the will of Zeus.
00:06:20It is not the will of Zeus. It is your will.
00:06:23Zeus has given you a kingdom.
00:06:25The rest will be your own doing.
00:06:33The gods abandon you, Pelias.
00:06:36A one-sandled man shall come, and no god shall protect you from him.
00:06:42A one-sandled man?
00:06:44The child who has escaped you, Jason.
00:06:49No!
00:06:51No!
00:06:53Then why was I not told the whole prophecy?
00:06:56Why did Zeus drive me to kill this girl,
00:06:59when the only one I needed to kill was Jason?
00:07:02Zeus cannot drive men to do what you have done.
00:07:05Men drive themselves to do such things,
00:07:08that the gods may know them and that men may understand themselves.
00:07:13The killing of Jason would do you no good.
00:07:17Kill Jason, and you kill yourself.
00:07:40Zeus, my godly husband,
00:07:42did you for some reason order the profanation of my temple in Thessaly?
00:07:46That was entirely the fault of Pelias.
00:07:48Not content with winning the throne of Thessaly, as I wished,
00:07:51he tried to avoid losing it, as I have commanded.
00:07:59I know that you have been insulted, my dear,
00:08:02but be content.
00:08:04The boy Jason has escaped. He will avenge you.
00:08:07How?
00:08:08You must know by now I never arrange exact and precise details.
00:08:12And because you are neither exact nor precise,
00:08:15a young girl was killed and my temple was profaned.
00:08:20I want to help Jason.
00:08:22No. You may help the infant Philomela if you wish.
00:08:25She's a girl. The rest is man's work.
00:08:28No. I want to help Jason.
00:08:32As you wish.
00:08:35How many times did Aristo's daughter Brices call upon you?
00:08:39By name.
00:08:41Five.
00:08:42Well, then, you can help a brother five times.
00:08:45Five times only you can help him to overthrow Pelias.
00:08:49And that is my final word.
00:08:53It will be 20 years before Jason becomes a man,
00:08:56for an instant of time here on Mount Olympus.
00:08:59But a long 20 years for King Pelias.
00:09:05He cautiously travels the roads of Thessaly.
00:09:08Yes, Pelias.
00:09:10You have had years of watching and waiting
00:09:13for the man who must come to kill you.
00:09:16The man with one sandal.
00:09:34No!
00:10:04No!
00:10:06No!
00:10:08I owe you my life.
00:10:35I was as good a way to ford a river as any,
00:10:37but I seem to have lost a sandal in doing it.
00:10:40Where are you traveling?
00:10:42To the Palace of the King.
00:10:44Palaeus?
00:10:45Palaeus of Thessaly.
00:10:47Then I can put you on your way.
00:10:52But first, you must accept the hospitality of my camp.
00:10:55Come.
00:11:05Come.
00:11:25Be seated.
00:11:35You have not yet told me your name.
00:11:54I am Jason, the lawful king of Thessaly.
00:11:57One of my father's soldiers rescued me and brought me up in exile.
00:12:01Now I have returned to claim my kingdom.
00:12:04I have waited for you for 20 years.
00:12:07And in that 20 years, Palaeus has turned my kingdom from the pride of Greece
00:12:12to a savage, evil land.
00:12:14I shall need your help.
00:12:16When your father defended his throne, no man fought harder than I.
00:12:20This time it will not be enough to fight.
00:12:23I could fight.
00:12:25I could find Palaeus and kill him.
00:12:27But the people need more than a leader.
00:12:29They must believe the gods have not deserted them.
00:12:33They need a miracle.
00:12:34And where will you find this miracle?
00:12:36I have heard there is a tree at the end of the world
00:12:39with a fleece of gold hanging in its branches.
00:12:41I have heard this too.
00:12:43So have many men.
00:12:45They say it is a gift of the gods.
00:12:48It has the power to heal, bring peace,
00:12:50and rid the land of plague and famine.
00:12:53If I could find this prize and bring it home to Thessaly,
00:12:56then it would inspire the people,
00:12:58wipe out the years of misrule.
00:13:00They would know that the gods have not abandoned them.
00:13:02My land would be rich and strong again,
00:13:04as it was before this tyrant Palaeus murdered my father.
00:13:08Jason, be advised by me.
00:13:12First, search for this golden fleece.
00:13:15Do not reveal yourself to Palaeus.
00:13:17But build a ship and find a crew.
00:13:19And when you have this prize,
00:13:21then, and only then,
00:13:23return and kill Palaeus.
00:13:33And now rest yourself.
00:13:36My companions are yours to command.
00:13:45Father, why do you let him live?
00:13:48If I destroy him, Acastas,
00:13:51I destroy myself.
00:13:53While he is searching for the golden fleece,
00:13:56he is at the ends of the earth,
00:13:58and I am safe.
00:14:00And if he finds it?
00:14:04You will be there.
00:14:15Have you come to pray to the gods, Jason?
00:14:19If I had, I wouldn't have chosen a fallen one.
00:14:23Only a statue.
00:14:27Sometimes the gods argue amongst themselves.
00:14:30Then great winds blow and temples fall.
00:14:34Hermes.
00:14:35Yes?
00:14:37No, I said the statue was the god Hermes.
00:14:43Hermes.
00:14:44Ah, yes.
00:14:46A bringer of dreams and a prowler of the night.
00:14:51Jason.
00:14:58No man can tell you how to find the fleece.
00:15:02Is it not time you ask the gods?
00:15:05They will not answer those who believe in them.
00:15:08Why should they answer one who doesn't?
00:15:13Come with me.
00:15:16Why?
00:15:19So that you will believe
00:15:22and be answered.
00:15:27Come.
00:15:57THE END
00:16:28THE END
00:16:46You win, my lord.
00:16:48That is the battle,
00:16:50not the war.
00:16:53Oh, those waters are far too shallow for galleys.
00:16:57Herem, my dear, you really must learn to win without cheating.
00:17:01Or at least to lose gracefully.
00:17:14Greetings, Hermes.
00:17:16Greetings, my lord Zeus.
00:17:18There seems to be a piece missing.
00:17:21Perhaps I can help.
00:17:31Welcome to Olympus, Jason.
00:17:39Ah.
00:17:41Jason come to Mount Olympus at last.
00:17:44No man calls upon the gods unless he wants something.
00:17:48We arranged for you to be brought here by Hermes.
00:17:51I wouldn't have believed a mortal could ask the help of the gods.
00:17:56Much less visit them.
00:17:58Well, at least you're honest.
00:18:01Which is more than I can say for most other mortals.
00:18:05What is it you want?
00:18:07A ship? A crew?
00:18:10No. Those I can find myself.
00:18:13Oh. And what are you going to use in place of gold?
00:18:17The hearts of men.
00:18:19I am Hera, queen of the gods, and your protector on this voyage.
00:18:23But my lord Zeus has decreed a limit
00:18:25to the number of times I may help you when you call upon me.
00:18:28Do not speak now. I know what you must ask of me.
00:18:31Does the golden fleece exist? And if so, where is it?
00:18:35That's two questions.
00:18:37And I shall help him with only one answer.
00:18:40Search in the land of Chalcis.
00:18:43Then it does exist.
00:18:45But Chalcis, that's the end of the world.
00:18:48No Greek has ever sailed there.
00:18:50Now that you've heard that,
00:18:52are you so sure that you will not need my help?
00:18:56Think carefully.
00:18:59I offered him a ship.
00:19:01A ship and a crew.
00:19:04And he refused me.
00:19:07Refuse the help of the gods?
00:19:16What ship is strong enough to reach to the edge of the world?
00:19:21What crew brave enough to sail in her?
00:19:24I shall tell the shipbuilders of Greece
00:19:26that the richest cargo in the world waits in Chalcis.
00:19:29The golden fleece is worth a kingdom.
00:19:31And I shall say that only the strongest ship ever built will survive the voyage.
00:19:35The athletes of Greece are proud.
00:19:38I'll tell them only the best can expect a place
00:19:40in the most perilous voyage in history.
00:19:43I shall announce the games.
00:19:45Invite the strongest and bravest of the Greeks.
00:19:48No greater game shall ever be held
00:19:51unless the gods decree otherwise.
00:19:57I did well to choose you, Jason.
00:20:00The gods are best served by those who want their help least.
00:20:09Welcome, Polydeuces.
00:20:13Castor of Sparta.
00:20:19Castus of Thessaly.
00:20:29Well done, Castus.
00:20:31Valerus of Athens.
00:20:33Champion archer of Greece.
00:20:36Euphemus of Daenarum.
00:20:39Spyrus of Syracuse.
00:20:41Hercules!
00:20:43He's here!
00:20:57I'm in the sail with you, Jason.
00:20:59Tell me which champion you want me to beat.
00:21:02No one. I know you can beat us all.
00:21:04Your place is reserved.
00:21:06Hercules.
00:21:08Yes.
00:21:11Hercules?
00:21:13Yes.
00:21:15My name is Hylus.
00:21:17Like you, I came too late to compete in the games.
00:21:20But it occurs to me that if I can beat you at something,
00:21:23Jason couldn't refuse me a place on his ship either.
00:21:29After all, he might need brains as well as brawn.
00:21:36Shall we compete?
00:21:42Discus?
00:21:48Come on.
00:21:56See that rock?
00:21:57Yes.
00:21:59No thrower has ever reached it.
00:22:01And is the contest to hit it or pass it?
00:22:06You'll be lucky if you get halfway.
00:22:08Now, come on.
00:22:09No, after you, Hercules.
00:22:11I've never thrown a discus before.
00:22:13I'd like to see how it's done.
00:22:16I'd like to see how it's done.
00:22:47Ha-ha!
00:22:57Let Hylus have his moment of triumph, mighty man.
00:23:01You shall have your place, Hylus.
00:23:04Hail, Hylus!
00:23:06I have found the finest crew in all Greece.
00:23:09Now for a ship that is worthy of them.
00:23:17Argus?
00:23:20Argus! Hello?
00:23:23Is that you, Argus?
00:23:26Who's there?
00:23:27It's Jason.
00:23:29Come aboard.
00:23:47Oh.
00:23:49So you've come back again.
00:23:51She's a fine ship.
00:23:53Yes.
00:23:56She is a fine ship.
00:23:58She's ready to sail.
00:24:00We've yet to give her a name.
00:24:02I'll call her the Argo after her builder.
00:24:06The Argo?
00:24:10Oh, well.
00:24:12The Argo.
00:24:15Oh, well.
00:24:17You'd better have a look at the figurehead. It might make you change your mind.
00:24:20No, this way.
00:24:22Is it forward?
00:24:23No, it's astern.
00:24:25We'll have to move it.
00:24:26A figurehead is supposed to watch over the water ahead of the vessel.
00:24:29I can't help that.
00:24:31Something made me put it here.
00:24:35Hero.
00:24:37Queen of the gods.
00:24:39What?
00:24:41Nothing.
00:24:43You don't object to it here?
00:24:45No.
00:24:47Nor do I.
00:24:49Makes me feel someone friendly is watching over us.
00:24:55When do we sail?
00:24:57Tomorrow.
00:25:04Tomorrow.
00:25:34Tomorrow.
00:26:04Tomorrow.
00:26:35Don't waste it.
00:26:37There isn't enough left to make any difference, Jason.
00:26:40Oh, let him rest.
00:26:42But the sooner we find some island with water, the better.
00:26:45We can't row much longer on three ships a day.
00:26:48Take my advice. Put back to Icos.
00:26:51But we'd lose five days sailing.
00:26:53We haven't water enough for tomorrow, let alone the time it would take us to reach Icos.
00:26:57Don't worry, Hylus.
00:26:59Don't expect him to take my advice.
00:27:01But I wish he'd listen to someone.
00:27:14Still grumbling?
00:27:17Sailors always grumble.
00:27:20These sailors have something to grumble about.
00:27:23Hardly any water. Blistered hands.
00:27:25They should use brine.
00:27:27Brine?
00:27:28It toughens the skin.
00:27:30Well, go down and treat them. I'll steer.
00:27:42Hera?
00:27:46You said you could help me a certain number of times.
00:27:49So far, you've told me of Colchis.
00:27:51And I threw Palaeus from his horse and dragged him beneath the water.
00:27:55Palaeus?
00:27:58So that was King Palaeus.
00:28:01I know your need. Set sail and steer north.
00:28:04You will reach land unknown.
00:28:06Where?
00:28:07The Isle of Bronze.
00:28:09I've never heard of it.
00:28:11No mortal has. It was the foundry of the gods.
00:28:14Hephaestus labored there, making armor and weapons for Zeus.
00:28:18Oh, do not fear. Hephaestus himself has long departed.
00:28:22I will see that you reach the Isle of Bronze.
00:28:25Listen to me, Jason. Listen very carefully.
00:28:39Take the helm.
00:28:40Yes, sir.
00:28:42Set sail!
00:28:45We reach land at noon.
00:28:47Then you can fill your bellies until they grumble as much as your tongues.
00:28:51Now, mark this.
00:28:53It will be safe to take food and water.
00:28:55But nothing else.
00:28:57Absolutely nothing else.
00:29:00That doesn't include women.
00:29:03If there are any on the island, yes, it does.
00:29:05If I meet a girl with a face like that, I'll give her a kiss.
00:29:09That doesn't include women.
00:29:11If there are any on the island, yes, it does.
00:29:13If I meet a girl with a firm leg, a full bosom and a warm heart,
00:29:17let no man try and stop me.
00:29:20Talos will.
00:29:21Who's Talos?
00:29:23You do mean there's a man there who wants a fight?
00:29:25I spoke of no man.
00:29:27Food and water, Hercules. That's all.
00:29:32Jason, who told you of this island?
00:29:35The goddess Hera.
00:29:39The goddess Hera?
00:29:42The goddess Hera.
00:30:08More help.
00:30:11Steady as you go.
00:30:13Control the sail.
00:30:42A shore for food and water.
00:30:57Are goats good sailors?
00:30:59Goats? What are you talking about?
00:31:01What do you want with goats? I'm bored ship.
00:31:03Well, some of us might be hungry.
00:31:06Or thirsty.
00:31:10Come on.
00:31:20Here's one for the plot.
00:31:30Hercules!
00:31:40Hercules!
00:31:53Isn't he one of the Titans?
00:31:55He might be.
00:31:57He's big enough.
00:32:02Didn't Jason say something about Talos?
00:32:10This must be where Hephaestus molded the statues of the gods.
00:32:14Yes.
00:32:16And set them up for all the world to see.
00:32:39Hercules?
00:33:10Ah!
00:33:22It's a treasure chamber.
00:33:25The treasure chamber of the gods.
00:33:32Look at this.
00:33:34And this.
00:33:36A pearl.
00:33:38It's a javelin.
00:33:40Don't be silly in a jewel box.
00:33:43It's a brooch pin.
00:33:45Well, whatever it is, it'll make a useful weapon.
00:33:48Let's get back to the ship.
00:33:50Hercules.
00:33:52Well, what is it?
00:33:54We'd better put it back.
00:33:56Why?
00:33:57Remember what Jason said.
00:33:59It won't be missed.
00:34:02Anyway, if the gods leave all this lag about unguarded,
00:34:05they obviously don't want it.
00:34:07No.
00:34:37It must have been the wind.
00:35:07Ah!
00:35:37And you saw nothing of them after that?
00:35:40Perhaps Hercules found a woman after all.
00:35:53Talos!
00:36:07Talos!
00:36:37Talos!
00:37:07Talos!
00:37:37Backwater! Back!
00:37:40Backwater! Back!
00:38:07Backwater!
00:38:38Backwater!
00:38:48Backwater!
00:39:07Backwater!
00:39:38I warned you, Jason.
00:39:40This is Hercules' doing.
00:39:42Talos will try to kill all of you.
00:39:45How can I fight him?
00:39:47Think before you waste the gift of the gods.
00:39:49Against the man of bronze, our weapons are useless.
00:39:52I repeat that question.
00:39:54Then I must answer it.
00:39:56Fight Talos with your wits rather than your courage.
00:39:59And look to his ankles.
00:40:02His ankles?
00:40:04There is nothing else I can tell you.
00:40:34Jason!
00:40:36You disobeyed my order.
00:40:38Never did I, Talos!
00:40:40Ah!
00:40:42Ah!
00:40:44Ah!
00:40:46Ah!
00:40:48Ah!
00:40:50Ah!
00:40:52Ah!
00:40:54Ah!
00:40:56Ah!
00:40:58Ah!
00:41:00Ah!
00:41:03Ah!
00:41:13Throw him to these rocks, but stay out of reach!
00:41:16And what will you do?
00:41:17I shall hide here, Acastus.
00:41:19And I shall do my very best to send him to you, Jason.
00:41:22My very best!
00:41:32Ah!
00:41:33Ah!
00:41:34Ah!

00:42:39Find his boots!
00:43:00I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here.
00:43:30I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going
00:44:00to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here,
00:44:30I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you
00:45:00out of here, I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going
00:45:30to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here,
00:46:01I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here,
00:46:08I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here,
00:46:15I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here,
00:46:20I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here, I'm going to get you out of here,
00:46:25Hercules, Hylas is dead.
00:46:30The gods decided it.
00:46:33Why kill a boy for my grave fault?
00:46:38But I should have stayed with him.
00:46:41Search until nightfall. We won't sail till then.
00:46:45Sail when you please, Jason. I cannot leave this island until I've found Hylas.
00:47:16Jason, will you abandon Hercules, the best man among us?
00:47:22I for one won't sail without him.
00:47:24Nor shall I.
00:47:29Come with me.
00:47:46Is there any man here who does not obey the gods?
00:47:51We will do as the goddess Hera commands.
00:47:54If she will speak to us.
00:48:01This is your last chance, Jason.
00:48:09The last time that I can help you.
00:48:12I understand.
00:48:13Then know this, Argonauts, Hylas is dead.
00:48:17Hylas is dead?
00:48:18As for Hercules, he is not fated to go further with the Argo.
00:48:22Zeus has other tasks for him.
00:48:24And for us, Hera?
00:48:26Sail to Phrygia. Seek out Phineas, the blinded man.
00:48:31Only he can guide you now.
00:48:37We set sail.
00:48:43Come on, back to your postures.
00:48:50Back to your postures. Get forward there.
00:49:13No!
00:49:43Shh.
00:50:13Help!
00:50:35Help!
00:50:37Help!
00:50:41Help!
00:50:44Help!
00:50:48Help!
00:50:49Help!
00:50:50Help!
00:51:10Help!
00:51:11Help!
00:51:42Lord Zeus, I was a sinner.
00:51:47I've never tried to deny it.
00:51:50But I didn't sin every day.
00:51:54Why then do you punish me every day?
00:52:12What in the name of the gods are they?
00:52:34Jason!
00:52:42Are you Phineas?
00:52:43Yes.
00:52:45Take my arm. I can't see yours.
00:52:47Don't flinch.
00:52:52Zeus gave me the gift of prophecy,
00:52:54but I misused it, so I was blinded.
00:52:58Zeus ordered the harpies to torment me.
00:53:02You, Jason.
00:53:04Now listen to me.
00:53:05The gods have ordered me to tell you whatever you want to know.
00:53:10But the gods have gone too far with me.
00:53:13They can punish a man so much,
00:53:15and then one day he abandons them.
00:53:18He says,
00:53:19All right, Zeus.
00:53:20Throw a thunderbolt.
00:53:22Let the earth swallow me.
00:53:24I defy you.
00:53:30I'm going to kill you.
00:53:32I'm going to kill you.
00:53:34You growl away all you like, Zeus.
00:53:37I mean what I say.
00:53:39Jason,
00:53:41I'll tell you what you want to know,
00:53:43only if you'll meet my price.
00:53:46What is your price then?
00:53:48Free me from these tormenting harpies.
00:53:51If Zeus sent those creatures to plague him,
00:53:53we'd be unwise to interfere.
00:53:55That's my price.
00:53:57Then we'll meet it, Phineas.
00:53:59We'll make you the master of the harpies.
00:54:03I'm going to kill you.
00:54:33I'm going to kill you.
00:55:03I'm going to kill you.
00:55:33I'm going to kill you.
00:56:03Get to the roof.
00:56:34Now!
00:56:55Castor, Polaris.
00:56:57Find some wood to burn.
00:56:59Yes, sir.
00:57:03Build a cage.
00:57:14Here you are, you hungry fella.
00:57:16A baked fish for you and some more wine.
00:57:22Well, Phineas,
00:57:23we've completed our part of the bargain.
00:57:26What is it you want to know?
00:57:27The way to Colchis.
00:57:29The way to Colchis is through the clashing rocks.
00:57:31Steer northwest and you'll reach them in five days.
00:57:34Northwest, eh?
00:57:36After the clashing rocks, you turn northeast.
00:57:38But before long, you'll sight the shores of Colchis.
00:57:41But tell me, what gods protect you?
00:57:44None now.
00:57:47Then you won't pass the clashing rocks.
00:57:49What are the clashing rocks?
00:57:51They speak for themselves, don't they?
00:57:55All I can offer you is this.
00:57:57It's not much reward for what you've done.
00:57:59But it's all I have.
00:58:05If that's all you can tell us, then, goodbye.
00:58:09The gods be merciful to you.
00:58:23Phineas,
00:58:24from now on, they'll witness a banquet every night
00:58:26and eat the scraps you leave.
00:58:32Good appetite.
00:58:56There's not much water here.
00:59:27Steady as you go.
00:59:29Row easy.
00:59:38Easy o'all.
00:59:40Easy!
00:59:42Easy!
00:59:44Easy!
00:59:45Easy!
00:59:46Easy!
00:59:47Easy!
00:59:48Easy!
00:59:49Easy!
00:59:50Easy!
00:59:51Easy!
00:59:52Easy!
00:59:53Easy!
00:59:54Easy!
00:59:55Easy on!
01:00:25It's a narrow channel, but I can't see what made Phineas so frightened.
01:00:34It looks common, huh?
01:00:36Too calm.
01:00:38Ocastus!
01:00:45I know the sea gods' moods.
01:00:48But most of them are dangerous.
01:00:51Ocastus, take a sounding.
01:00:54The rest of you be prepared to row when I give the word.
01:00:58But an easy stroke, save your strength.
01:01:03They may need it later.
01:01:09Ship ahoy!
01:01:12Ship ahoy!
01:01:16There she is.
01:01:19She doesn't seem to be in any great difficulty.
01:01:24She'll be all right.
01:01:54Ship ahoy!
01:02:24Ship ahoy!
01:02:55Ship ahoy!
01:03:20A whole ship's crew.
01:03:22And Lincius from the mouse-head?
01:03:24There was no hope of saving him. Not in that sea.
01:03:28Are we going through?
01:03:32Yes.
01:03:33But it...
01:03:35All right. We're going through.
01:03:38Back to your places!
01:03:46There's no turning back now.
01:03:48No, Ocastus. There's no turning back on this voyage.
01:03:52Brother, beat out the stroke!
01:03:55But keep it easy!
01:04:00The gods want their entertainment.
01:04:03Jason goes too far.
01:04:05Because he speaks the truth when the gods themselves go too far?
01:04:49Turn back, Jason!
01:04:51We're trapped!
01:04:53Trapped, Yara?
01:04:55It seems so.
01:04:57You've left me only one move.
01:05:09I'm going to kill you!
01:05:12I'm going to kill you!
01:05:16Pray to the gods, Jason.
01:05:19The gods of Greece are cruel.
01:05:22In time, all men shall learn to do without them.
01:05:45I'm going to kill you!
01:06:15Pull! Pull!
01:06:18Get back to your place!
01:06:46Pull! Pull!
01:06:49Till your hands crack and your back break!
01:06:53Pull! Pull!
01:07:15Pull! Pull!
01:07:46Keep the sun going!
01:07:50Keep the sun going!
01:08:13Jason dared to speak of the end of the gods,
01:08:17and yet you let him live.
01:08:19If I were to punish every blasphemy,
01:08:21I'd soon lose all loyalty and respect.
01:08:24You are the god of many men.
01:08:26Yet when those men no longer believe in you,
01:08:29then you return to nothing.
01:08:31You understand that, and yet you remain with me.
01:08:35You think it weak of me, my lord?
01:08:38Not weak.
01:08:40Almost human.
01:08:47Whichever god or goddess helped us is to be thanked.
01:08:52Those others weren't so fortunate.
01:08:54Watch that.
01:09:17Watch that.
01:09:48Who are you?
01:09:50Your ship was lost.
01:09:52We found only two other survivors.
01:09:54They're being looked after.
01:09:56Here, drink this.
01:10:00When did you sail from Colchis?
01:10:03Dawn this morning.
01:10:05Dawn?
01:10:07Then our journey is nearly over.
01:10:10Where have you come from?
01:10:12Thessaly.
01:10:13But that's the other side of the world.
01:10:16You don't look like a merchant.
01:10:20Your vessel's a fighting ship.
01:10:22We'd be foolish to sail unarmed.
01:10:25By all accounts, your king in the 80s fears the gods,
01:10:29and we were sent by the gods.
01:10:32But I'm going to talk to him alone, peacefully.
01:10:35Now, you answer a question.
01:10:37What was your ship doing in such dangerous waters?
01:10:40We came to sacrifice to the gods of the rocks,
01:10:43to throw flowers onto the sea to make it safe for our ships.
01:10:46I'm afraid our gods were angry,
01:10:49not so powerful as yours.
01:10:51Are you a priestess?
01:10:53I serve in the temple of Hecate.
01:10:56A dancer.
01:10:58Is Hecate the god of the Colchians?
01:11:00The goddess.
01:11:02But I'd heard they worship some strange idol,
01:11:04the skull and skin of a ram.
01:11:06No, ordinary ram.
01:11:08Its fleece is of gold,
01:11:10a gift of the gods themselves,
01:11:12and it's brought our city great peace and prosperity.
01:11:15We'll put you ashore at dawn tomorrow.
01:11:18Perhaps you will show me the way to the city.
01:11:21Now, tell me your name.
01:11:24Medea.
01:11:26And you can answer my first question.
01:11:29Who are you?
01:11:30My name is Jason.
01:11:41Within a few hours, we shall sight Colchis.
01:11:44I'm coming in quietly by night.
01:11:46Now the voyage is over, I don't want the trouble to begin.
01:11:49Won't be any trouble, Jason.
01:11:51Just tell us where the city is and when we attack.
01:11:54We don't attack.
01:11:56But that's foolish.
01:11:57You have the finest fighting men in the world.
01:11:59Forty fighting men against a nation.
01:12:01Better forty than one, Jason.
01:12:03We're not pirates, Phalaris.
01:12:05What's that girl done to you?
01:12:07We thought you were a fighting man.
01:12:09I'm going up alone in the morning to see what the situation is.
01:12:12Oh, you mean spy out the land?
01:12:14Well, why alone?
01:12:16Why not take a few of us scouting?
01:12:18The fewer who go, the less can get caught.
01:12:21Now, what's the fewest you can think of?
01:12:23One, of course.
01:12:24Right, I accept your advice.
01:12:26But I don't.
01:12:28Having sailed this far together, I suppose we're free to speak our minds.
01:12:31And what's on yours, Acastas?
01:12:33We knows our way upstream.
01:12:35Brush the guards and seize the police.
01:12:37We'll be out into the open sea while Aeates and his kolkins are still asleep.
01:12:40A night attack?
01:12:41Yes.
01:12:42And in the dark, during the attack, a man will die.
01:12:45That man will be me.
01:12:47A javelin in my back.
01:12:49A Greek javelin, Acastas.
01:12:50Maybe your javelin.
01:12:52You'll die for that, Jason.
01:12:53Keep back.
01:13:07Keep back.
01:13:37Keep back.
01:14:08Euphemus!
01:14:32It's Euphemus.
01:14:34He's dead.
01:14:37Look at this.
01:14:39Slashed and bloody.
01:14:43Acastas must be at the bottom of the sea.
01:14:45I wonder.
01:14:47Make sail!
01:14:48Euphemus?
01:14:50The sea was his kingdom while he was alive.
01:14:53Let it take his body. Now he's dead.
01:14:55Make sail!
01:14:57Make sail!
01:15:07You're wounded.
01:15:10We have a flower in Colchis which heals and soothes.
01:15:14Tomorrow I'll show you.
01:15:26What do you call the flower?
01:15:28It has no name.
01:15:29It grows on a double stalk.
01:15:31They say it sprang from the blood of Prometheus.
01:15:34And it has been used over the years for its soothing and curing powers.
01:15:40The sun's getting higher.
01:15:42We must be on our way.
01:15:44Follow the road to the east.
01:15:46You're not coming further?
01:15:47I go another way.
01:16:03I go another way.
01:16:33I go another way.
01:17:03I go another way.
01:17:33THE END
01:18:03© BF-WATCH TV 2021
01:18:34The goddess Hecate has spoken.
01:18:39There will be one among us today from the ends of the world.
01:18:46His name is Jason.
01:18:49Any man of whom he asks his way shall say this.
01:18:55Aeetes, king of Colchis, awaits him in the temple of Hecate.
01:19:00And that is all any man shall say to him.
01:19:09Come forward, Jason.
01:19:30You have done all of us a great service.
01:19:33Tonight we shall feast you.
01:19:35We know of your great heroism and it deserves celebration.
01:19:39Return then to your companions and bring them to my palace.
01:19:42I thank you, my lord.
01:19:44But I do not understand.
01:19:51Welcome to Colchis.
01:20:00Welcome to Colchis.
01:20:15I give you Jason and the Argonauts.
01:20:19Jason and the Argonauts.
01:20:21Jason and the Argonauts.
01:20:29Tell me, Jason, why did you come to Colchis?
01:20:33In peace.
01:20:35I said why, not how.
01:20:38Altogether, how many men have you?
01:20:41Enough.
01:20:42And you say you do not threaten us.
01:20:45Ten boys who come to me in deceit remain in death.
01:20:48I know you've come for the fleece.
01:20:51And I know, too, that if you cannot win it by bargaining, then you plan to steal it.
01:20:55But we'll never part with it, Jason.
01:20:57It is a gift of the gods.
01:21:00It has brought wealth and peace to Colchis.
01:21:02And should we ever let it go, it would mean plague and famine and the destruction of our country.
01:21:08We can no longer welcome or entertain you, but treat you as you deserve.
01:21:12As thieves.
01:21:14As pirates.
01:21:17As murderers.
01:21:25We give our thanks to one person.
01:21:30The person who exposed a criminal attempt on our kingdom.
01:21:35The son of King Polias of Thessaly.
01:21:39Arcastas.
01:21:47Arcastas.
01:22:12Hecate, Queen of Darkness.
01:22:15You've always helped me.
01:22:18Tell me now what I must do.
01:22:21You who gave me the gift of foresight.
01:22:25Why didn't you reveal to me Arcastas' treachery?
01:22:29He who sits drinking with Aetes,
01:22:33while Jason, in prison, condemned to death.
01:22:40If I help him now in the quest for the fleece,
01:22:45I shall be a traitor to my country
01:22:49and to you, Hecate.
01:22:55And if not,
01:22:59to myself.
01:23:05Help me, Hecate.
01:23:15Help me, Hecate.
01:23:45Why did you come here? Was it Aetes who sent you?
01:23:48I came to ask you to give up your quest and sail away with Argonauts in peace.
01:23:54Never return.
01:23:55Never to think again of the golden fleece?
01:23:57Never to think of the fleece.
01:23:59Then it was Aetes.
01:24:01You tell him I will fulfill the task the gods have sent me
01:24:04and never betray the Argonauts, whatever he offers me.
01:24:09Even if it's Medea, High Priestess of Hecate.
01:24:12Please.
01:24:14Forget the golden fleece.
01:24:16I fear for your safety.
01:24:21If you're set on carrying it away,
01:24:25I must come with you.
01:24:28I'll go alone.
01:24:30No.
01:24:32I have to go with you.
01:24:34I have no country now.
01:24:38And I love you.
01:24:44I love you.
01:24:55Shh.
01:24:57Casta, Valeris, Demetrius, get to the door.
01:25:00The rest of you, back to your places.
01:25:08The priestess.
01:25:09Argus, listen to Medea.
01:25:11As you enter the palace, go back to the ship and row downstream.
01:25:14There's a break in the cliff and a path leading through the woods.
01:25:17Anchor there. We'll join you.
01:25:37Well, what is it?
01:25:39Jason has escaped.
01:25:41And his men?
01:25:42They were all gone. I was making my rounds and found the guards drugged.
01:25:45Drugged?
01:25:47Then there's an accomplice.
01:25:49Where's Acastas?
01:25:50He's not in his quarters.
01:25:52Acastas and Jason.
01:25:55But there's no reason to it.
01:25:59Unless it was Medea who mixed the drug.
01:26:01The High Priestess of Hecate?
01:26:04I saw how Medea looked at Jason.
01:26:09Valeris helping them and he's guiding them to the Golden Fleece.
01:26:12And the Argonauts will take ship.
01:26:15The land would weigh you shorter.
01:26:17Master your men, Captain!
01:26:40THE GOLDEN FLEECE
01:26:54Shh. Listen.
01:26:59Soldiers!
01:27:01Valeris, Acastas, you come with me.
01:27:04No, not you, Polybius.
01:27:05But others!
01:27:06You stay aboard with the rest of the men and guard the ship.
01:27:09Yes, sir.
01:27:39THE GOLDEN FLEECE
01:28:09Jason!
01:28:39Jason!
01:29:09The Golden Fleece
01:29:39That's it.
01:30:09THE GOLDEN FLEECE
01:30:40THE GOLDEN FLEECE
01:31:04Jason!
01:31:07Jason!
01:31:12The Aegis and the Colchians.
01:31:14We heard them from the ship.
01:31:16They must be somewhere near.
01:31:20Get the fleece.
01:31:36THE GOLDEN FLEECE
01:32:06THE GOLDEN FLEECE
01:32:21Guard, follow them up there and that way.
01:32:26Wait!
01:32:37Hecate, Queen of Darkness,
01:32:40avenge yourself against the Thessalians.
01:32:43Deliver to me the children of the Hydra's teeth.
01:32:46The children of the night!
01:33:06THE GOLDEN FLEECE
01:33:36The teeth! Fetch me the Hydra's teeth! Quickly!
01:34:06Against the children of the Hydra's teeth,
01:34:09there is no protection.
01:34:36THE GOLDEN FLEECE
01:34:39THE GOLDEN FLEECE
01:35:04The fleece! Give me the fleece!
01:35:09It has the power to heal.
01:35:40It's true. It does have the power to heal.
01:36:06Jason!
01:36:09Hold the guards back, Captain, or they may die,
01:36:13killed with Jason and his pirates.
01:36:17THE GOLDEN FLEECE
01:36:38Rise up, you dead slain of the Hydra.
01:36:42Rise from your graves and avenge us.
01:36:46Those who steal the Golden Fleece must die.
01:37:12THE GOLDEN FLEECE
01:37:26Argus, get down to the ship. Take Medea.
01:37:29Come with me.
01:37:42THE GOLDEN FLEECE
01:37:47There.
01:37:56And there.
01:38:03There's yet another.
01:38:13And more.
01:38:15THE GOLDEN FLEECE
01:38:40Destroy them!
01:38:43Kill!
01:38:46Kill! Kill! Kill them all!
01:39:12THE GOLDEN FLEECE
01:39:43THE GOLDEN FLEECE
01:39:55Get back!
01:40:12THE GOLDEN FLEECE
01:40:42THE GOLDEN FLEECE
01:41:12THE GOLDEN FLEECE
01:41:42THE GOLDEN FLEECE
01:42:13THE GOLDEN FLEECE
01:42:16THE GOLDEN FLEECE
01:42:42I think that proves at last that I'm a worthy opponent, my lord.
01:42:45Where are you going?
01:42:46To clear the board. The game is over.
01:42:48It certainly is not.
01:43:01For the moment, let them enjoy a calm sea,
01:43:04a fresh breeze and each other.
01:43:07The girl is pretty and I was always sentimental.
01:43:12But for Jason, there are other adventures.
01:43:16I have not yet finished with Jason.
01:43:20Let us continue the game another day.
01:43:41THE GOLDEN FLEECE
