Wrath Of The Titans Page #3

Synopsis: A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus-the demigod son of Zeus-is attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year old son, Helius. Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans. Dangerously weakened by humanity's lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades and Poseidon. The triumvirate had overthrown their powerful father long ago, leaving him to rot in the gloomy abyss of Tartarus, a dungeon that lies deep within the cavernous underworld. Perseus cannot ignore his true calling when Hades, along with Zeus' godly son, Ares (Edgar Ramírez), switch loyalty and make a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus. The Titans' strength grows stronger as Zeus' remaining godly powers are siphoned, and hell is unleashed on earth. Enlisting the help of the warrior Queen Andromeda (Rosamund Pike), Posei

Ha-ha-ha. Ah.

It's not...

...them.

PERSEUS:

We're looking for Hephaestus, the maker...

- ...of such mighty weapons.

HEPHAESTUS:
Well, should I let them in?

He says no!

But then he always says no.

He always says...

...no.

Ahh.

Yes.

You are Perseus...

...son of Zeus.

I am.

HEPHAESTUS:

"Release the Kraken," all of that.

PERSEUS:
Yeah.

- Who are you?

I'm Agenor, son of Poseidon.

HEPHAESTUS:

Agenor.

Have you ever heard of Agenor?

Never heard of you.

Well, your friend may also

know me by the name...

...the Navigator.

HEPHAESTUS:

Navigator?

(HEPHAESTUS SNORTS)

Navigator!

Still no.

Don't worry, son, he says

there are many useless demigods.

"Useless"? About as useless

as your one-eyed friends.

Those Cyclopes...

...helped me forge the god-weapons.

Have respect.

"Navigator."

Mm-hm.

Hold on, because...

HEPHAESTUS:

Poseidon dead, Zeus captured. The words...

...don't even sit together.

We need your help to rescue Zeus...

...so he can stop Kronos.

(CHUCKLES)

- That's the plan, is it?

PERSEUS:
Yeah.

Right. Right. Well, in that case,

we'd best prepare.

PERSEUS:
For what?

- The end of the bloody world.

Kronos will dismantle the earth.

You'll be scattered across the universe.

Fantastic.

You forged these weapons...

...right here for the gods.

You must be able to help us.

HEPHAESTUS:

Shut it! How could I...

...when I've no godly power anymore?

Who's he talking to?

HEPHAESTUS:

Don't you...

...walk away from me.

His all-powerful father

took it away from me...

...when I sided with Hades

in their little family argument.

Yes, I know now it was a mistake!

People forget!

In the beginning, Hades was wise...

...and just and strong.

It were your daddy became drunk on power.

We were even hoping...

...when Zeus came he might see

his mistake and restore our...

Why not? He might have, had he come.

(RUMBLING)

ANDROMEDA:

I'm sorry...

...that you think being human

is not enough. But we humans...

...hope when there's no hope.

And we believe when to believe is idiotic.

But sometimes, in spite...

...of everything, we prevail.

Now...

...which of you two...

...is in charge?

- I am.

- Then...

...if we were gods...

...how would you help us free Zeus?

Oh, my dear.

You remind me of someone.

Aphrodite.

She was my wife.

Come with me.

HEPHAESTUS:

If Zeus is captive in the underworld...

...he's likely being held

in the heart of Tartarus.

There can't be much time

before his life force...

...is completely sapped.

ANDROMEDA:

But how do we get to him?

We can't.

Normally you'd be right, young man.

But when I designed this marvel...

...I included a secret

passage, a shortcut...

...if you will.

- You designed Tartarus?

HEPHAESTUS:
Oh, aye.

And built it.

Aphrodite, I could...

...not only get you inside...

...I could give you a guided tour.

In order for the prison of Tartarus...

...to be completely impregnable...

...I built it from the outside in.

So I had to leave a passage

for meself to get out...

...when the work was done.

And this labyrinth...

...is the only way a human

can travel through the underworld...

...and get to the heart of Tartarus.

ZEUS:

Where's my snarling bastard of a son Ares?

Will Kronos really spare him?

And you?

Is there no end to this?

HADES:

I'm afraid, brother.

Is that what you want me to say?

I'm a god and I'm afraid.

Well, you should be.

When your precious humans die,

at least their souls go to another place.

When a god dies, it isn't death.

It's just absence.

It's nothing.

(KRONOS GROWLS)

It's oblivion.

It's oblivion.

Perseus.

ZEUS:

Perseus.

Father.

I'm close.

Stay with me.

You see, if you align

the edges correctly...

...it gives you a shifting depiction

of the interior.

Can I say, that is a masterpiece.

HEPHAESTUS:

Well, useful to a point.

- Would you let a lowly navigator hold it?

- No.

Well, you are the son of Poseidon.

He's the one who taught me to navigate.

That, and how to seduce a mermaid...

...which seemed random,

but came in handy more often...

...than you'd think. Thing to do is...

...don't talk to her, talk to her friend.

HEPHAESTUS:
Navigator, this is the entrance

to the labyrinth.

There are hundreds of doors,

all of which would kill you...

...save one. You see...

...I designed it to play...

...tricks with the mind.

After all, the mind...

...is the greatest trap of all.

So you've got to control your fears...

...so you don't turn on yourself

or each other...

...if you wanna make it to Tartarus.

There it is.

There's our door.

Everybody back!

(GROANS)

Oh.

Which one of you prayed to him?!

(SCREAMS)

(GRUNTS)

(PERSEUS COUGHS)

You betrayed our father.

He betrayed me...

...by choosing you.

You beauty!

Come on! It won't stay open...

...for long!

No, not now!

KORRINA:

Great god Ares...

...be merciful. It was I who prayed

to you. I was taught...

...to pray for my enemies.

I prayed you would find peace...

...in your hear... Ah! Ah!

ARES:

We are brothers...

...but not equal.

HEPHAESTUS:

I have got to give them more time.

One last godly thing.

Come on!

Let's see what you blee...!

Perseus!

PERSEUS:

Hephaestus.

AGENOR:

Aah!

ANDROMEDA:

Perseus! The door's...

- ...closing!

AGENOR:
Come on!

HEPHAESTUS:

Ares!

Is that all you got...

...you sniveling...

...dog?

Get to the door!

(HEPHAESTUS SCREAMS)

ANDROMEDA:
Come on!

AGENOR:
Come on!

(PERSEUS COUGHS)

Oh, Korrina.

She was a fool to pray to him...

...and he was a coward to kill the weak.

He has fought in many wars.

He's slaughtered innocents for centuries.

It's all...

...he knows.

I can't beat him.

AGENOR:

Mutton head.

Two days ago I was trapped in a cell

in a dungeon, admittedly...

...trying to escape,

unbecoming of the son of Poseidon.

But today I'm here,

and I'm trying to save the universe.

Jump in.

Your Majesty...

...I realize in a labyrinth

with a million possibilities...

...this is the last thing

you want to hear...

...but follow me.

That way.

Or this way.

ANDROMEDA:

I don't know...

...how we'll get through this

without Hephaestus.

UNDERWORLD VOICE 1:

Perseus.

Where is your son?

UNDERWORLD VOICE 2:

This way.

That way.

AGENOR:

This way!

KORRINA:

Andromeda.

ANDROMEDA:

Korrina.

KORRINA:

You must turn back.

AGENOR:

This should be...

...a corridor. This map makes no sense.

UNDERWORLD VOICE 3:

Andromeda.

There's something in here with us.

- Just give me the map.

- No.

The mighty Kraken slayer.

Shouldn't he be somewhere...

- ...posing for a statue?

- Agenor...

- ...just give me the map!

- The map is useless!

(RATTLING)

This way!

(WALLS RUMBLING)

PERSEUS:

Agenor!

AGENOR:

I know where we're going!

This way!

Get back!

Back!

(YELLS)

Get up!

PERSEUS:

Andromeda!

(GRUNTS)

Yes.

(GASPS)

Take the weight!

(GRUNTS)

AGENOR:

Come on, come on, come on!

Go, go!

Go!

(GRUNTS)

(COUGHS)

It's cold in here, isn't it?

You're not real.

Helius?
