[Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]

[Music] [Applause]

go be enough

bring the Athenians

[Music] [Applause]

[Music] Alex every nine years as punishment for

the death of my son Athens is required to pay a tribute

nine of the most promising youth are supposed to be sent here as a sacrifice to the menar but

these embarrass me they are an insult to the great [Music]

[Applause] menar

today is merely a diversion they're here to Forfeit their lives and tomorrow they will face their

gods and try to [Music] [Applause]

explain Alex this is not a good time right now the gods

again like a pestering spirit I heard that this year we have Among Us a young

hero who both see will vest the minitar with his bare hands but not from what I have seen

[Applause] he is the Royal Prince

Theus son of my enemy King Aus if I didn't know any better I think

he was pointing at me he is pointing at you because you're thesis

me wait a minute I'm supposed to k*ll the Minotaur Theus

we've kept the Beast especially hungry just for

you that's what it is you're not in the past you're in a myth our Athenian guests need to know that the real

minitar is not a playful

pageant give him to the Beast

[Applause]

[Music]

let me out let me out [Music]

it can't be any worse than fighting a real bull what kind of bull feeds on human flesh I heard it has two heads and and

these huge claws ripping bodies apart exactly this is a genuine monster we're talking about whatever kind of creature

it is Theus will k*ll it and free Athens from these sacrifices forever [Music]

right you ever seen this guy anywhere maybe even back in

Athens maybe he doesn't even look like that I mean those guys think that you look like Theus but I'm not Theus

thesias Prince of Athens where are you taking him

[Music]

[Music] Alex I've been waiting for you to be alone hey guys I'm home we need to talk

are you okay no why do I look scared I didn't say scared I said okay where am I

on cre in naus you have to get out of there that's a good idea exactly which

bus do I take this is nuts there is no such thing as a minutor there is there I'm sure you're

not an ancient creep at least not the real one everything that's happening to you straight out of the myth of thesis

well if it doesn't exist and how did I get here well how did you get there period I mean all you did was touch the

screen something like this must have been what happened to Dad maybe that means he's okay then

[Music]

finally no way no way I am I am not doing it it's just a dress I wear one

all the time it won't k*ll you I'm not talking about that I'm talking about the minur Alex you've got to put a stop to

this the minor will tear you to shreds you're the only one who can k*ll my

brother your brother yep the god Poseidon sent Minos a great white bull

to sacrifice but Minos found it so beautiful that he decided to keep it so the God made the queen um Ari adne's mom

fall in love with the bull and one thing led to another I am not going to fight

some monster to death okay period tomorrow morning they're not going to ask your permission they're just going

to throw you in the labor I'm just saying there may be ways to even the contest well hold on contest

okay we are talking death here those are two things that do not belong in the same sentence especially any sentence

that applies to me exactly that's not what you said in your big speech in Athens but you see that's the whole

point I've never even been to Athens good get this all straightened out I'm not really

thesis there's been a big mistake here my name is Alex Bellow I was born in

Omaha Nebraska I think the Omaha part might have taken it over the top the minur is a poison

that's destroying creit and you are the only one who can't stop it I'm not going to do it I'm willing to betray my father

to save his kingdom I just need to know that when it's done you'll take me with

you you want me k*ll the monster take me

away okay Alex got to go where the gods send me I go where the gods send me give

me a break you got a better explanation courage and love is there a better

explanation and if we can get to Deus he can help if nothing else he knows the Labyrinth he built it Deus the inventor

right he's got a son named Icarus Junior High man what Deus he

built These Wings and Icarus flew them too close to the Sun and they melted and

he fell into the ocean I think that's what she wrote as far as I know Icarus is very much alive and well the Halls

are crawling with your father's patrols they won't find

him I wouldn't fly too high with those if I were you you know something about wings do you perhaps You' flown actually

been to the sky yourself actually yes I have liar we're the first and what my

father builds works perfectly of course the wings will fly he didn't mean to suggest they wouldn't did you I was just

giving some friendly advice a fly is high as I want that's because you're an idiot Alex this may be the only guy in

the world who can help you actually the young lady who needs a shave is quite right the young lady is

actually thesis of course she is anyone who speaks so loudly about k*lling the

minor would naturally come to me well look I I wasn't saying that I could do it without your help oh yes you did but

I'm going to help you anyway because I can't stand being stuck on this island anymore when Theus kills the Beast if he

kills the Beast there'll be confusion perfect time to put on our wings and

Escape well I hope the winds are with you spoken like an Athenian

Prince this monster is as brutal an enemy as you'll ever

face but I have some tools that might

help oh an Athenian tunic very good that'll hide the weapons you

need a piece of string the Labyrinth is the most complex maze ever built trust

the thread if you do manage to k*ll the Beast it'll lead you safely out again

remember things aren't always what they seem princess you must get back to your

quarters before your absence is noticed there are passages from here that'll lead him back to the cabs just leave it

to

me Princess time enough for that when you get to Athens be there when you come up

remember this well how could I forget 55 Paces into

the first tunnel find its match what does that mean the one in The

Labyrinth is attached to the finest blade ever made it's there in case the glorious but Brash King Minos should one

day send me to the minor and you give it to me

it's not my only

secret oh um have you seen him no no

[Music] your spirit seem a little

low no I'm just chilling I could get your [Music]

blanket no I mean uh I'm fine you're not scared are you scared no

of course not I mean what would you be afraid of if it's true there's a sword in there for

you of course it's not the sword that does the slang but the man who carries it

what are you doing just don't doubt yourself you know

dangerous I can [Music]

be hey hey hey that is not a

toy there's a way [Music] out what do you mean

I mean we can escape well how are we going to get 10 people out of here we're not it would

just be the two of us these guys are all going to die anyway you don't really think you're

going to k*ll the Minotaur do you you think I'm just going to sneak out and leave these people

here who are you

Athens time to say goodbye to your friends and hello to your gods

here I'm here to plead for the menor's life I'm here to beg you to walk away to

let him be well you're a little too late Alex

Alex how do you know my name a minute

is no vicious monster it's just another one of those pathetic screw-ups by the gods they mess

with people the next thing you know he got some pitiful creature living its life in

agony and then they just tuck it away and call it a story k*lling everything

in sight not true everyone that's died in here has

starved to death before ever finding him who are you

just about anybody Alex sometimes even all at the same

time and if you won't leave [Music]

[Applause]

it's that's tricky though then there's a surprised look again you know seeing the way you handle

my hands I'm forced to Walk Through This World in these hideous disguises I want my

stone I don't have it and I'd rather be lost here forever than help you get your hands on it Dr

Bas you have no idea how long forever can

be especially for your kids it is him I knew

it everyone thinks he's Theus but it's Alex for now it won't be for much longer

Alex I don't lie he can't hear you he can't see

you nobody can

[Music] Al to protect us on our

journey it's incredible it's diis that's what I touched on the plasma

screen what's the plasma [Music]

screen Alex oh you're back you're

back oh thank God stop kissing

me was dad there no I didn't see any sign of him nothing

then why do I have the feeling we have to go back come on breakfast hurry up what are you guys doing up there we're all going to be late what are we going

to tell her nothing at least until we know

what's going on here

okay you or thesias broke her heart she was promised to die in NIS and under

threat from the G Gods you he gave her up she married a God that makes you

happy but you can't really get jealous about a god what about uh

goros he's not mentioned anywhere not even a word oh

enthus did he get home yes but after he lost AR Adney he

sailed home under black sail and when his father King Aus saw that he thought it meant his beloved Son Theus died and

was so overcome with grief that he threw himself into the sea he died first time

supposedly that's why they caught the a GNC so you're saying that Theus k*lled

his father well by mistake but yeah I guess CL if I was Theus and Theus k*lled

his father what does that mean I k*lled

dad by accident I'm scared guy did the day he

disappeared and I turned off the screen afternoon

Bellows your makeup exam the take home yes yeah uh
