You're on TV.

About the boy disappeared,

Percy Jackson

and his mother, Sally Ugliano.

But his family has some

interesting theories.

So, Mr.

Ugliano, tell me about his

son, Percy Jackson.

It is not my son.

It is my stepson.

He came not to me.

Since he started with

drugs and drink ...

No.

There are 5 nights, tried to kill me

and threw his mother on the floor.

And his friend crippled attacked me

from behind and knocked me out.

When I woke up, Sally

had disappeared.

Was abducted by Percy.

... She would never

Shut up, Gabe.

Great. I'm now a fugitive.

See? That's what I said.

Guys always want their mothers.

He is angry because they hit

him with my crutches.

Personnel.

I can not pee with

her looking at me.

Sorry, folks. I bullshit.

Should have closed the curtains.

Come on, guys.

Let's go, before the National

Security appear.

CENTENNIAL PARK "THE PARTHENON"

ENTRY AND PARKING

This is amazing.

A perfect replica of the

Parthenon in Nashville.

Okay, folks.

Let's get the pearl.

It's your mother.

If it is anyway.

Let's find out.

Guys, check this out.

It is the pearl.

That was easy.

Easy?

Is one meter high in a place

full of tourists.

I have an idea.

We will return after the close.

Come, follow me.

Or I can throw my crutches up

there and knock everything.

Percy is not a bad idea.

Closed an hour ago.

Let's go.

Let's fast.

That's kind of crazy.

We flew using the flying Luke's

Court, and took the pearl.

Cool.

So what do we do?

Okay, guys.

- I have it.

- You what?

Are you kidding?

- It will kill the caretakers?

- Relax.

They are American workers.

- Why do it?

- Are not dead.

Is unconscious.

We have 30 minutes. Come!

Cool.

Hey, guys, what's going on?

Hi

Luke!

- Annabeth!

- How to Shine work?

Tell Percy that he

has to run, right?

Need to pick up speed, kind

of like an airplane.

It will require some training.

Sure.

I can.

You need training!

- Got it!

- Yeah!

- That, Percy!

- Here we go.

Here it is!

- This is how you do!

- Okay!

Okay, let's take it all.

Let's go.

Aw, man ...

Let me.

Personally, I am the Service

Recreation Park

and you were sleeping on duty.

Be happy that I did not deliver

them, but it's the last time.

We were expecting you, Mr.

Jackson.

Give us the radius

that let you go.

I'm not lightning.

Right. That's bad.

Hydra!

Guys, beware, because

it spits fire!

Do you like candy?

Okay.

Percy, stop!

No!

What turned the game!

I killed this thing!

- Killed? Only made things worse.

- What are you talking about?

Percy, when you cut the head

of a hydra, two more grow.

Run.

Distract this thing.

I'll get the pearl.

Let.

- Open the door!

- The door does not open!

Grover!

That was unpleasant.

We interrupt our programming

for a special bulletin.

Scientists are puzzled by what

appears to be a single cloud

storm that spans much

of Europe and Asia

coming toward the United States.

There are reports of high

winds, rain and waves

along the coastlines of

several continents.

So far, no victims, but countries

are preparing for the worst.

The gods are angry.

We have to find the last pearl.

What's next destination?

Is. Let's see ...

Well, folks. We have a good.

Let's go to Vegas!

WELCOME ? FABULOUS

LAS VEGAS NEVADA

There he is.

Casino Lotus.

I was looking forward to it.

Remember, always separate the

eight, not ten, right?

We did not come bet, remember?

- We have poker, ... 21

- Grover.

We did not have fun.

We took the pearl and go away.

This is a beauty!

ficially amazing!

Here is your card courtesy

of Lotus.

Thanks, but we will not stand.

Please, I insist.

Fits all, the Hotel and Casino.

We do not want gifts.

We will not register.

- The guy was persistent.

We are here for one reason only.

That is really too much!

How will find a green

pearl in this place?

Perhaps a waitress or dancer.

Let's start there.

I offer something?

Try a Lotus.

It's great.

It is the dish of the house.

Really? House? And it's good?

Thank you.

We have to pay for it?

- It seems not.

- It's free.

This is very good.

It's the most delicious

thing I've ever had!

Why do not we stay

here a little?

This is a great idea.

But we are on a mission with

limited time at the moment.

Not we?

I do not remember.

Totally forgot what

was going to say.

I've discovered.

I think I know why we are here.

Why are we here?

To have fun!

Sure.

Not going away ever!

Let's stay here!

Awesome!

No, Percy, do not

eat the flower.

It dulls the senses.

Has you trapped here.

I take a breath.'ll

Look around you. Focus.

- No, thanks.

- I would like another?

- I'm satisfied.

movie of the year.

What? Wait, this year?

Percy, wake up.

You need to escape. Wake up!

You need a Lotus.

I do not.

- Only one

No more, please leave me alone!

Something wrong, Mr. Jackson?

No thanks.

Percy Jackson is awake.

Excuse me.

Do not eat it.

- But we're having fun!

- No, we are.

Grover, wake up!

Grover, go, gotta go!

Percy, his timing

is bad, you know?

Man, we're going ? chapel,

let's get married!

- How romantic!

- No, no, no ...

What I asked of you in marriage?

Wake up!

Dude, you're a killjoy!

Percy, what is the problem?

Why are you doing this?

They need to wake up now!

Look at me, are in a trance.

We're stuck!

Listen, if they eat the flowers,

will never want to leave.

We'll be stuck here forever!

Oh, no! We gotta go!
