the Oracle said this quest would fail.

That could mean a lot of things.

I started out as a gift to my father.
That's how it works with Athena.

00:00:13,958 --> 00:00:16,000
And for a while,
I was treated like a gift.
5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,041
My father, he's had his chances.
Honestly, you've done more for me
6
00:00:20,041 --> 00:00:22,666
in the past few days
than my father's done in my entire life.
7
00:00:22,666 --> 00:00:25,250
Careful. I think you were about
to call me a friend.
8
00:00:26,166 --> 00:00:28,958

I can't let anything stop me.

Look, I'm sorry about shoving you
in the stairwell.
33
00:02:11,500 --> 00:02:14,041
Even hearing myself say that
sounds really bad,
34
00:02:14,166 --> 00:02:18,166
but I just-- I knew you'd never agree,
and there wasn't enough time--
35

So...
36
00:02:32,750 --> 00:02:34,291
you're not as dead
as we thought you'd be.

00:02:37,458 --> 00:02:38,666

we need to go to Santa Monica.

What, like now?

00:02:46,125 --> 00:02:49,583
My father's gonna meet me there.
He's gonna help us.

Okay. Uh, just one problem with this plan.
43
00:02:55,250 --> 00:02:57,791
The police think
that we crashed an Amtrak train
44
00:02:57,958 --> 00:03:00,083
and then did that.
45
00:03:02,500 --> 00:03:04,875
- Th-- The cops are after us?
- Yeah.
46
00:03:05,791 --> 00:03:08,291
Isn't that gonna make it hard for us
to get on a train?

[Percy] Hey, guys.
51
00:03:22,833 --> 00:03:24,875
I think this quest might be harder
than we thought.
52
00:03:26,833 --> 00:03:28,125
I've been thinking.
53
00:03:28,125 --> 00:03:30,916
I didn't steal the master bolt.
You guys didn't steal the master bolt.
54

We're pretty sure
Hades has the master bolt,
55
00:03:33,083 --> 00:03:34,958
but he couldn't have stolen it himself.
56

I mean, we don't even know
who actually stole the thing,

or why, or how deep this goes.

aren't I?

- Yeah.
- [sighs] Okay, so...
60
00:03:51,791 --> 00:03:54,208
maybe when we started,
my head wasn't fully in this,
61
00:03:54,208 --> 00:03:55,708
but since the river...
62
00:03:57,875 --> 00:03:59,541
it all feels different somehow.

He saved me.

My dad.

00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,708
I guess I just really never thought
that's something he'd do for me.
66
00:04:11,375 --> 00:04:13,583
So maybe I gotta take things
more seriously now.

- Car.
68

That's not a car, it's a bike.
Just let it pass. Come on.
69
00:04:25,208 --> 00:04:27,875
I'm saying,
we're not just trying to retrieve a thing.
70
00:04:28,375 --> 00:04:30,416
I think we might need
to be detectives here, too.
71
00:04:31,708 --> 00:04:32,708
Yeah.
72
00:04:34,333 --> 00:04:37,541
Why are you being weird with me again?
I thought we weren't doing that anymore.
73
00:04:37,750 --> 00:04:39,208
- I'm not being weird.
- Yes, you are.
74
00:04:39,500 --> 00:04:41,041
You've been weird since we left the Arch.

00:04:49,375 --> 00:04:52,041
It doesn't have to be a thing, you know.

- At least I think they do.
- I saw the Fates.
80
00:05:04,416 --> 00:05:09,041
Back at the Arch, I saw the Three Fates,
and I saw Atropos cut a piece of thread.
81

And that's bad or...?

my grandpa Kronos

ate my aunts and uncles.
161
00:09:28,125 --> 00:09:30,458
Yeah. Then my dad made him puke
them back up,

then chopped him into a million pieces
and chucked 'em into a bottomless pit,

so that kinda set the tone
right outta the gate.

And that's why I love my family so much.

My dad knows he's not getting this bolt
back with quests or goose chases.

[Hephaestus] Some of us don't like being
that way either.
514
00:32:45,583 --> 00:32:47,041
You're a good kid, Annabeth.
515
00:32:50,083 --> 00:32:52,000
I'll put in a good word
with your mom for you.

[♪ music concludes]
521
00:33:40,625 --> 00:33:41,666
You're kidding.
522
00:33:47,875 --> 00:33:50,583
Get in, don't. I really don't care.
523
00:33:50,583 --> 00:33:54,250
But in a few hours, this thing is gonna be
at the Lotus Casino in Vegas.
524
00:33:54,458 --> 00:33:56,833
Hermes hangs out there.
You play your cards right
525
00:33:56,958 --> 00:33:59,583
and his personal driver can get you
to L.A. in minutes.
526
00:34:00,083 --> 00:34:04,500
Here. Clothes. Cash.
Drachmas to summon Hermes.
527
00:34:04,833 --> 00:34:07,333
I'd wish you luck,
but what good would it do you?
528
00:34:07,625 --> 00:34:08,791
We're not gonna fail.
529
00:34:09,833 --> 00:34:12,750
Don't worry. Your dad had plenty of kids
530
00:34:12,750 --> 00:34:15,958
he stopped caring about
once he lost interest.
531
00:34:16,291 --> 00:34:19,125
- You'll have lots of company.
- [Percy] We're not gonna fail,
532
00:34:19,541 --> 00:34:21,166
and I'm getting pretty tired
of you saying it.
533
00:34:21,166 --> 00:34:22,250
[Grover] Percy.
534
00:34:22,250 --> 00:34:25,333
You think you know who I am,
but you don't.
535
00:34:26,208 --> 00:34:27,458
And if you aren't careful...
536
00:34:28,500 --> 00:34:29,625
you're gonna find out.
537
00:34:31,041 --> 00:34:33,916
- Percy...
- [♪ tense instrumental music playing]
538
00:34:34,041 --> 00:34:37,750
So, thank you for the emotional abuse
and the cheeseburgers...
539
00:34:38,583 --> 00:34:41,083
and the ride.
We're gonna take you up on that, too.
540
00:34:50,833 --> 00:34:53,458
Hey, do you think we could get
some paper towels or something,
541
00:34:53,458 --> 00:34:54,875
it's not that nice in here.

543

[Percy] Well... this smells.
544
00:35:08,166 --> 00:35:10,416
If it gets us where we need
to go, that's all that matters.
545
00:35:10,625 --> 00:35:12,625
[Percy] Assuming Ares
was telling the truth.
546
00:35:13,291 --> 00:35:16,791
He wasn't.
Not entirely, at any rate.
547
00:35:18,291 --> 00:35:19,625
He was holding something back.
548
00:35:20,333 --> 00:35:23,791
- How do you know?
- Because I think I got it out of him.

[♪ suspenseful instrumental music playing]
550
00:35:28,125 --> 00:35:29,708
I know who stole the master bolt.

552
00:37:17,916 --> 00:37:19,583
[Percy] There's more to this
than just the bolt.
553
00:37:20,166 --> 00:37:21,166
Something bigger.
554
00:37:22,041 --> 00:37:24,041
Hey, demigods. Welcome.
555
00:37:24,625 --> 00:37:25,666
We have a huge problem.
