alive, and I'll bring it back.

- From the Underworld?

- Whatever it takes.

Maybe you can fool Hades.

Maybe I can.

Can not let you do this, right?

I'm not asking your permission.

Sure.

According to the regulation,

if I can not stop you,

I follow you, because

I'm your best friend.

- And your guard.

- Junior guard.

That was even necessary?

I do not need help.

I need to do it alone.

Well, we are not asking

your permission.

Come on.

Today you wanted to kill me.

Now he wants to defend myself?

It was not true.

It was only training.

Percy, all I do is train.

I grew up here, only been

in the outside world

sometimes.

And never had a chance to

go out on a real mission.

In addition, you won a battle,

and I've won hundreds of them.

You will need my experience.

Well put.

Do you really want to go.

- Yes

- Yes

Sure. I think we all.

So maybe get to the Underworld?

Had not thought about.

I think I know someone

who knows.

Luke?

Hey, guys.

Percy.

I thought it would come

sooner or later.

Everyone appears.

Escaping a little of it

in Renaissance Fair

What happens out

there, you know?

But ...

Welcome to the modern world.

Cool stuff.

What are they up to?

Let's get my mother.

His father is the messenger

of the gods.

One of the few who have entered

and exited the underworld.

Know how to do this?

My father is an idiot,

never met him.

You too?

I think we all have problems

with parents, huh?

This is because all

gods are equal.

Selfish, only care

about themselves.

But once invaded the

house of my father.

There's some cool stuff.

You.

Tennis flying?

S?o my father.

He has hundreds of these faces.

Will not even miss.

Look under the other.

People were the underworld sometimes

without being killed.

Hercules was, Morpheus was my

father going all the time.

Log is the easy part.

Exit is that it is complicated.

This is a map to the pearls

of Persephone.

Persephone?

The wife of Hades?

Yeah, he forced her to marry.

The prisoner maintains.

Needless to say she hates it.

It's hot, he's a weirdo.

So she has visitors secret.

She hid them all over the world.

These beads allow a quick

exit from the underworld.

They can get out easy.

As pearls work?

Easy.

You get a pearl, step

on it, crushes,

and displays wherever they

want to be taken.

Now there are three pearls

in the United States.

This map will guide you to them.

Here is the first location.

Emporium Garden Tia Eme.

When you find the first bead,

the map will show the second,

the next, and then

you go to Hades.

Which reminds me, you may

need extra protection.

My favorite shell.

It is better to go away.

- Thanks, Luke.

- You're welcome.

But ...

You need to promise

me one thing.

If you see my father on

the road to hell ...

- Yes

- Kick his ass for me.

Gardening EMP?RIO TIA EME.

This place is in need of

a total reconstruction.

Hello?

Hi, is anyone home?

Look, have free drinks!

Wow, that disgusting!

The public health department

to close this place.

Hey guys, just look at it.

Look.

GRD Gold.

It means that we are on track.

Toma.

How will find the pearl

in this place?

Good question.

Okay, let's separate.

- Try everywhere.

- Good idea.

I'm here.

Tia Eme?

- It is coming!

- What? Who?

We stopped to ask for information,

my poor husband.

Help me! Please help me!

Take a look at it.

He is the face of my

uncle Ferdinando.

What a freak.

He has a mole in the same place.

Can not be my uncle, because

he was killed by ...

Medusa!

- We're in trouble!

- Grover?

We have to get before

it finds us.

She became my husband in stone.

Grover, where you at?

Percy! Annabeth!

- Annabeth, where are you?

- Grover.

Are you serious, man.

Watch where you walk!

- Where are we?

- In the lair of the Medusa.

Come on, hurry please!

Do not look!

What a surprise fabulous.

It's so exciting to receive

visitors so young!

We were so alone here.

Not?

So do my statues.

They are my only company.

- Daughter of Athena.

- How do I know?

You have beautiful hair.

I've had hair like that.

I was courted, desired by many.

But everything changed

because of his mother.

The woman who cursed me.

What made me ...

- Do not look!

- About it.

They say the eyes are the

window to the soul.

I hope you find my eyes ...

attractive.

It's rude not to look

people in the eye.

Come on.

From only a peek.

How we fight if we can

not look at her?

We can see your reflection.

- Check it out.

- Good idea.

- I'll get Annabeth.

- Okay, I'll take care

of the Medusa.

You will be a wonderful addition

? my collection.

We'll be friends forever.

Cares?

Sooner or later, you

open your eyes.

The temptation to look for

me is irresistible!

Do not look, Annabeth,

do not open your eyes!

Who is this? Another demigod?

I can feel you.

Son of Poseidon.

I used to go with his father.

Need help?

- Thank you.

- Let's go.

I knew that is the radius.

I can see it?

I'm not with him.

Let me see your eyes.

I heard that are bluer

than the sea.

Open them!

Or my hungry babies

will open for you.

Would be a shame to destroy

this beautiful little face.

Stay with me, Percy.

All you have to do is look!

You okay?

Yeah, I did.

Son of Poseidon ...

Over.

Guys, can open your eyes.

Annabeth, this was a direction

worthy of demi.

- We could take it with us.

- The head? No, disgusting.

If she open her eyes,

they still work.

Alive or dead.

You never know when

we need something.

You are right, but I will

not touch it not.

Go, get your jacket.

Twisted it to put on ice.

Why have to be my jacket?

Why are you the protector.

Yeah, I'm the protector.

So instead of the jacket,

I will give my coat?

- Gross.

- Joga there.

Wait, guys.

An already. There are two.

It would have been nice if Luke

had warned us about the Medusa.

Maybe he did not know.

GPS of the gods. Where now?

Let's see.

Parthenon in Nashville.

Nashville? Great.

The land of the musical

style I like least.

Christ!

Please do NOT again!

Let's stop to rest.

- Good idea.

- God of heaven.

Great job today.

Thank you.

What happened to you?

That poor woman who turned

to stone, she ...

She held me tight.

See it.

Cool.

That was pretty cool.

So ...

Why do they hate our parents?

Both wanted to be the patron

gods of Athens.

E. ..

The people chose Athena.

And our parents hate each

other since then.

- How is your mother?

- I do not know.

- Never met her.

- How? This is ...

so with all?

None of the gods seen

their children?

Is prohibited.

Shortly after being born, Zeus

decreed that the gods

could not have physical contact

with their descendants remains.

This is a stupid law.

Agree.

Although ...

Just between us ...

I think my mom talks

to me sometimes.

In difficult moments, I hear

your voice giving me advice.

This happens to me.

It's your father talking to you.

Percy!

Come here, man. This sucks.

Sure.

Come soon!

Percy. Check this out, man.
