I believed it to be true.

true reason he fled Atlantis...

hand in marriage if she learns the truth?

least bury the bodies?

185

are littered with corpses.

186

It seems the intruder was
part of a plot to kidnap Ariadne.

are hiding out at C yous.

take no prisoners.

Do not fear, Ariadne.

193
00:13:48,121 --> 00:13:50,761
We've learned why the
intruder was in the palace.

194
00:13:50,881 --> 00:13:52,921
And why was that?

195
00:13:53,041 --> 00:13:55,881
He was sent by your brother.

196
00:13:56,001 --> 00:13:58,001
It seems the
traitor has returned.

00:13:58,121 --> 00:13:59,417
I do not believe
he is a traitor.

198
00:13:59,441 --> 00:14:02,001
Well, it's been hard for all
of us to accept his betrayal,

It's best not to think about it.

You've been through
quite an ordeal.

206
00:14:23,241 --> 00:14:25,241
Therus will soon be dead.

207
00:14:26,401 --> 00:14:28,401
This will all be over.

have to explain with diagrams?

us for interrupting them.

- they're my friends.

- The light's fading.

There isn't a day that passes
when he does not enter my thoughts.

of his betrayal...

There is no greater sadness.

Therus loved and respected you. I
cannot believe he meant you any harm.

232
00:16:35,681 --> 00:16:38,361
Why would he flee the
city if it were not true?

00:16:47,601 --> 00:16:52,441
With Therus gone, you are
more precious to me than ever.

she may have been abducted.

allowed to leave. I want her found.

I was to be killed.

It was Pasiphae.

420

knew I would tell the King.

There was no plot to kill him.

Pasiphae created it to discredit me.
She knew I'd have no choice but to flee.

confessed to plotting with you?

to murder their families

if they didn't say
I was a traitor.

426

Those men were innocent. Pasiphae
had them executed to protect herself.

I always knew she
desired the throne.

428

go to such lengths.

he is no match for Pasiphae.

than he was able to protect me.

not leave Atlantis.

If you would drug her, she
has no say in the matter.

461
00:35:32,241 --> 00:35:35,881

for her at all, you would let us go.

choice but to kill you.

give my life for her.

stay in Atlantis.

You will be of no help to

turning my back on those I care for...

might be able to return.

more than anything.

Very little.

caused you concern.

tell you of your future?

She warned me
that I must be careful.

that you were with the Oracle?

(KNOCK ON THE TABLE)

517
00:40:47,561 --> 00:40:49,361
Come on!

518
00:40:49,481 --> 00:40:51,321
(CHEERS AND SHOUTS)

519
00:41:00,601 --> 00:41:03,841
(CHEERING AND LAUGHTER)

520
00:41:08,161 --> 00:41:11,081
What happened?

521
00:41:11,201 --> 00:41:13,521
I believe that's my
shirt you're wearing.

522
00:41:13,641 --> 00:41:17,161
- You bet your shirt?
- I was confident of victory.

523
00:41:17,281 --> 00:41:19,801
Your shirt, if you will.

524
00:41:25,041 --> 00:41:27,417
What if the beetle we found at
the farmstead wasn't Astrabacus

525
00:41:27,441 --> 00:41:28,801
but an entirely
different beetle?

526
00:41:28,921 --> 00:41:31,161
- You think of that now?
- Well, all beetles are alike.

527
00:41:31,281 --> 00:41:33,121
No, they're
clearly not all alike,

528
00:41:33,241 --> 00:41:37,001
otherwise I would not be standing
before you without the shirt on my back.

529
00:41:38,721 --> 00:41:41,001
- What about your beetle?
- That is not my beetle.

530
00:41:41,121 --> 00:41:43,361
He is lazy, slow, and useless.

531
00:41:44,601 --> 00:41:47,401
Then I shall call him Hercules.

532
00:41:55,001 --> 00:41:59,001
I wish to capture the
heart of the woman I love.

533
00:41:59,121 --> 00:42:01,321

powers are unrivalled.</i>
