4
00:00:09,875 --> 00:00:11,500
A quest is a sacred thing.
5
00:00:11,666 --> 00:00:14,041
And to be charged
with one is to be in conversation
6
00:00:14,208 --> 00:00:15,666
with the gods themselves.
7
00:00:15,875 --> 00:00:17,875
Monsters can't be avoided entirely.

They're more common than you think.

Yep. You really can. You just have to try.

Percy, it could be dangerous for you

People who are close to you

You wanna know how I ended up alone
on the road in the first place?

I was treated like a gift.

Then he met a woman.

They had their own kids.

00:09:59,375 --> 00:10:01,041
Why would anyone tear our room apart?
175
00:10:01,541 --> 00:10:03,041
Maybe they were looking for something.
176
00:10:03,833 --> 00:10:05,041
We don't have anything.
177
00:10:05,041 --> 00:10:08,416
The people who think you stole
Zeus's master bolt might disagree.
178
00:10:08,958 --> 00:10:11,041
- [train horn blaring]
- Right.
179
00:10:11,625 --> 00:10:14,000
Well, look, they're not gonna
find something we don't have.
180
00:10:15,375 --> 00:10:18,125
Either way, we aren't spending the day
answering questions
181
00:10:18,125 --> 00:10:19,625
in the St. Louis police station.
182
00:10:19,750 --> 00:10:22,000
We need to get out of this
before we get delayed.
183
00:10:23,375 --> 00:10:25,458
[concerned woman]
D-- Do you mind if I sit?
184
00:10:26,541 --> 00:10:29,166
- [groans]
- [animal whimpering]
185
00:10:29,791 --> 00:10:31,166
- You poor dears.
- [♪ music concludes]
186
00:10:34,041 --> 00:10:35,625
Your parents aren't here, are they?
187
00:10:35,625 --> 00:10:38,458
- [animal whining]
- Isn't that right, precious?
188
00:10:39,041 --> 00:10:41,875
Don't children get scared
when they're all alone?
189
00:10:43,541 --> 00:10:47,291
It's okay. I'm a mom.
I know how scared you must be.
190
00:10:49,416 --> 00:10:53,250
Excuse me.
Would you mind giving us a little space?
191
00:10:53,500 --> 00:10:54,541
I think...
192
00:10:55,291 --> 00:10:57,083
I think you're making them nervous.
193
00:11:03,291 --> 00:11:04,375
I want you to know...
194
00:11:05,625 --> 00:11:08,791
I don't actually think that you made
that mess back there.
195
00:11:09,750 --> 00:11:12,625
I just wanted a moment alone with you.
196
00:11:13,291 --> 00:11:16,791
There are some things
I need you to understand--
197
00:11:16,916 --> 00:11:18,125
You have something on your jacket.
198
00:11:18,916 --> 00:11:20,000
It looks like...
199
00:11:22,458 --> 00:11:23,708
It looks like glass.
200
00:11:23,875 --> 00:11:26,166
[♪ tense instrumental music playing]
201
00:11:27,125 --> 00:11:29,791
[Grover] No one smashed out the windows
from inside our cabin.
202
00:11:31,416 --> 00:11:34,000
Someone smashed them in from the outside.
203
00:11:36,333 --> 00:11:39,500
- Hm. Oh!
- [animal grunting, whimpering]
204
00:11:39,666 --> 00:11:41,250
Yes, sweetheart.
205
00:11:41,666 --> 00:11:43,458
I know, I know.
206
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,833
- You're impatient.
- [animal snarling]
207
00:11:45,833 --> 00:11:48,208
[sniffs] Oh!
208
00:11:48,916 --> 00:11:52,166
- But we're almost there.
- [animal grunting, growling]
209
00:11:55,791 --> 00:11:56,958
This isn't your fault.
210
00:11:57,833 --> 00:11:58,875
But sadly,
211
00:11:59,541 --> 00:12:03,875
you're going to have to bear the burden
of your parents' mistakes today.
212
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,125
[Percy] Listen, lady.
213
00:12:05,541 --> 00:12:07,708
I don't know who you are,
but I think I know what you are.
214
00:12:08,541 --> 00:12:11,541
We've run across a few monsters like you
and we've sent them all packing.
215
00:12:12,333 --> 00:12:15,666
[scoffs] Monsters like me?
216
00:12:16,875 --> 00:12:18,000
Well...
217
00:12:19,250 --> 00:12:21,125
of course they're like me.
218
00:12:23,166 --> 00:12:24,666
They were my children.
219
00:12:24,833 --> 00:12:26,833
- [♪ music intensifies]
- [Percy] Children?
220
00:12:27,583 --> 00:12:28,750
What does that mean?
221
00:12:29,958 --> 00:12:31,375
The Mother of Monsters.
222
00:12:32,541 --> 00:12:33,541
Echidna.
223
00:12:34,041 --> 00:12:35,083

- [monster growling]
- [Echidna] Oh! [shushes]
225
00:12:43,333 --> 00:12:44,416
Monster.
226
00:12:45,541 --> 00:12:46,833
It’s an odd word,
227
00:12:47,166 --> 00:12:51,375
considering my grandmother
is your great-grandmother,
228
00:12:51,708 --> 00:12:53,833
and this has always been a family story.
229
00:12:55,041 --> 00:12:57,458
But... to my eye,
230
00:12:58,333 --> 00:13:02,416
the demigod
is the more dangerous creature.
231
00:13:02,416 --> 00:13:03,625
- [monster growling]
- [sighs]
232
00:13:04,291 --> 00:13:05,333
[Echidna] Disruptive.
233
00:13:06,250 --> 00:13:07,375
Violent.
234
00:13:08,291 --> 00:13:10,250
If I exist for anything,
235
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,125
it is to stand in the way of monsters
236
00:13:16,041 --> 00:13:17,125
like you.
237
00:13:17,333 --> 00:13:18,666
[monster growling]
238
00:13:19,875 --> 00:13:23,875
My little one here. She's just a pup now.
239
00:13:24,166 --> 00:13:26,833
Bless her heart. [chuckles]
240
00:13:27,666 --> 00:13:28,708
Today...
241
00:13:31,708 --> 00:13:33,125
you will be her prey.

[monster growling]
243
00:13:37,875 --> 00:13:39,083
Are you afraid yet?
244
00:13:39,291 --> 00:13:42,791
Oh. It's all right. Fear is natural.
245
00:13:43,333 --> 00:13:45,375
It's also essential to the hunt.
246
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,541
Your fear. Your doubt.
247
00:13:49,083 --> 00:13:51,458
- Your confusion. [chuckles softly]
- [monster growling]
248
00:13:51,625 --> 00:13:55,625
I needed you to understand
what was happening
249
00:13:56,416 --> 00:13:59,083
so that she could track the scent.
250
00:13:59,291 --> 00:14:00,791
[monster growling]
251
00:14:01,166 --> 00:14:04,875
[Echidna] So that she could learn
and grow, because...
252
00:14:05,958 --> 00:14:08,708
that's what a good mother does
for her children.
253
00:14:09,791 --> 00:14:10,958
Not that you would know.
254
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,000

Come back here and open this door!

What is that?
276
00:15:30,083 --> 00:15:31,166
It's a stinger.

00:15:31,333 --> 00:15:33,291
Grover, do you know what kind of monster
has one of those?
278

I don't know. I mean,
nothing good probably.

- [Annabeth] Do you feel okay?
- I think so. Why?
280
00:15:38,958 --> 00:15:40,375
Do you think it's poisonous or something?

Open this door, right now!

[Percy] Why isn't it still chasing us?
294
00:16:12,291 --> 00:16:15,416
Echidna said whatever she was hiding
in that carrier, it's young.
295
00:16:15,916 --> 00:16:17,625
It won't venture too far from her mother.
296
00:16:18,041 --> 00:16:19,250
She's learning to hunt...
297
00:16:20,791 --> 00:16:22,541

00:16:26,125 --> 00:16:28,375
[Grover] We aren't gonna be able
to outrun them for very long.

We don't need to.
We just need a safe place to hole up.

Some place safe.

Any ideas where we might find
one of those?
302
00:16:38,541 --> 00:16:39,541
I do.
303
00:16:40,083 --> 00:16:42,125
A sanctuary, dedicated to Athena,
304
00:16:42,458 --> 00:16:44,458
built by one of her demigod children
a long time ago.
305
00:16:44,791 --> 00:16:47,125
There is an Athenian temple
hidden somewhere

in the middle of downtown St. Louis?
307
00:16:49,500 --> 00:16:50,500
Yes.

00:16:51,583 --> 00:16:53,500

Each side is balanced perfectly
against the other.

This is how you show Athena your love.

A monument to the power of perfection.
321
00:17:36,666 --> 00:17:38,416
It's a monument to some other stuff, too.
322
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,958
[Annabeth] You're talking about
what some humans

want this place to be about.
324
00:17:44,333 --> 00:17:46,416
I'm talking about what it actually is.
325
00:17:47,958 --> 00:17:49,041
Whatever.
326
00:17:49,791 --> 00:17:51,166
We're safe here, right?
327
00:17:52,208 --> 00:17:55,000
No monsters can enter.
Not even Echidna.

- Great.
329
00:17:58,625 --> 00:18:00,791
Well, since our train exploded,
330
00:18:00,791 --> 00:18:03,208
I'm gonna see if there's another one
we can get tickets on.
331
00:18:03,875 --> 00:18:05,208
We can't stay here forever.
332
00:18:10,291 --> 00:18:12,750
Just because we're prey,
doesn't mean we need to be helpless.
333
00:18:17,333 --> 00:18:19,541
He doesn't like it
when people mess with animals.
334
00:18:21,125 --> 00:18:22,166
Yeah.
335
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,083

[Percy] I guess you were right,
by the way.
345
00:18:56,375 --> 00:18:59,458
We needed a safe place,
and your mom had one waiting.

Pretty lucky we happened to be
in the right city for it.

I know you think it's all just in my head.

00:19:14,125 --> 00:19:18,125
That... That I tell myself my mother cares
because it's easier that way.
351
00:19:18,958 --> 00:19:20,000
I didn't say that.
352
00:19:22,250 --> 00:19:24,375
Look, I've only been a demigod since...
353
00:19:25,375 --> 00:19:26,541
last Saturday.
354
00:19:27,916 --> 00:19:29,000
You shouldn't listen to me.

You know, this is my mother's place,
but a temple is a temple.
356
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,083
Maybe you could say hi to your dad
while we're here.
357
00:19:42,500 --> 00:19:43,541
No thanks.

00:19:44,208 --> 00:19:45,291

Your thing with your mom...
360
00:19:51,958 --> 00:19:56,416
I get it. It's different.
It works for you. But my father...
361
00:19:59,041 --> 00:20:02,166
I don't want anything from him.
He's had his chances.
362
00:20:02,166 --> 00:20:05,416
Honestly, you've done more for me
in the past few days
363
00:20:05,541 --> 00:20:07,041
than my father has done in my entire life.
364

Careful.
366

to call me a friend.

[Grover] Hey! What happened?

00:20:22,666 --> 00:20:26,000
I think... I think those stinger things
were poisonous.
372
00:20:26,708 --> 00:20:28,333
I have an idea. Come on, help me.

Okay, but what good
is that even gonna do us?

We're in a sanctuary.
Athena would have had to let her in,

- Annabeth!

What did Echidna say to you?

She said my impertinence wounded
my mother's pride.

And that that will be my doom.

But I'm the one
who sent the head to Olympus.

- And I went along with it.
