(THUNDER RUMBLING)
Zeus.
Poseidon.
It's been many years.
What do you see?
Thunderclouds.
But no lightning.
.
Stolen
What?
You think I took it?
Omnipotence has
blinded you, brother.
We are forbidden
from stealing
each other's powers.
But our children aren't.
You're accusing my son?
I haven't seen him
since he was a baby.
He doesn't know me
or even know who he is
because of you.
If your son
is the thief,
I will send hi
m to the depths
of Tartarus.
If you touch him,
you will have
the fight of your life.
He must return
the bolt to me
in 14 days,
by midnight
on the summer
solstice,
or there will be war.
GROVER:
And he's alive
! (LAUGHING)
Percy Jackson is a beast!
You're a beast, man!
Give me some.
How long was that?
Seven minutes.
Seven minutes?
Mmm-hmm.
Oh.
That's crazy, man.
That's ridiculous.
How do you do it?
I just like
being in water.
It's the one place
I can think.
Mmm-hmm.
(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)
I wish I could spend
all day underwater
instead of this place.
Right.
It's like high school
without the musical.
Every day
it's the same thing.
Look at this.
Good morning.
I'm Mrs. Dodds,
your substitute
English teacher.
Would someone
please explain
what Shakespeare
was trying to convey
in this line from Othello?
Percy Jackson?
Well?
I'm sorry, I don't know.
Anybody else?
PERCY: Hey, Mom,
I'm home!
I'm up here, honey!
Hi.
Hey, Mom.
How was school today?
The usual.
I think this
dyslexia thing
is getting worse.
Oh! Why do you
think that?
(SIGHING) I don't know
. Maybe it's the ADHD.
You know,
I thought this school
was supposed to
make things better.
Percy,
I know how hard
this is for you.
But someday
it'll all make sense.
?
Really
When? Hmm?
Tonight? Tomorrow? When?
(DOOR CLOSING)
Woman!
Hi, Gabe.
Where's my beer?
It's in the fridge.
So, what,
it's supposed to
magically float
from the icebox
and into my hand?
(CHUCKLING) Hustle.
Come on, man.
You have to do
that right here?
.
It's disgusting.
We're in a kitchen
Yeah, real charmer
you got there. Really.
Show some respect,
all right?
That's my mom
right there.
(GRUNTS)
This is my house.
You show some respect.
Oh, come on.
Why do you stay
with that pig?
He smells like a sewer.
He sleeps till noon every day
and he can't even hold a job.
Why do you
stay with him?
He's been good to us, Percy,
in ways you don't understand.
You're right.
I don't understand.
I don't get it.
(SIGHING)
POSEIDON: Be prepared.
Everything is about
to change, Percy.
Everything is
about to change.
MR. BRUNNER:
There are 12
Olympian gods.
The big three
are the brothers
Zeus, Poseidon and Hades.
They attained power
by overthrowing
their father, Kronos,
chopping him
into little pieces.
The three gods
have been rivals
ever since,
always arguing,
always threatening war.
On several occasions,
they would come down
to Earth and, um...
How shall I put this?
Hook up?
(ALL LAUGHING)
They would hook up
with mortals.
The children
of these unions were
half god, half human.
Can anyone tell me
what they were called?
Percy.
Percy.
Oh, I'm sorry. What?
What, Mr. Brunner?
What is the proper name
of the offspring of
a human and a god?
Demigod.
Exactly.
And many became
great heroes,
like Hercules
and Achilles.
Can you name another?
I'll give you a hint.
You have something
in common.
Percy...
Perseus?
Correct.
Now, over here,
we have a depiction
of Hercules defeating
the Nemean lion.
Hercules killed the beast
with his bare hands
and took the skin
as a trophy.
Percy?
Yes, Mrs. Dodds?
We need to talk.
Okay.
MR. BRUNNER:
The next 11 labors
would become
increasingly difficult.
It would take Hercules
three months...
So, did I do
something wrong?
(WINGS FLUTTERING)
Mrs. Dodds?
Hello?
(HARSHLY)
Where is it?
Oh, whoa! Hey! Hey.
How did you get up there?
(ROARS)
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
(EXCLAIMING)
You stole
the lightning bolt!
I don't know what
you're talking about!
Give it to me!
Give it to me! Now!
Or I will bite
your heart out!
Percy!
Release him!
You!
Release him or I swear
I'll tear you to pieces!
(HISSING)
(PERCY EXCLAIMING)
(GROANING)
(SCREECHING)
(GASPING)
I'm going crazy!
Oh! I should be
on medication.
Percy, calm down, okay?
Everything's gonna be okay!
Oh, God, wait!
Did that really
just happen?
She just turned
into that thing?
A Fury
concealed in our school.
I should have known.
Wait, a Fury?
What's a Fury?
And why did you say
you could tear her to pieces?
What did she
want from you?
She said something
about me stealing
a lightning bolt.
They found him.
He's in danger.
Who found me?
(SHUSHING)
He's no longer
secure here.
Where should we move him?
We have no choice.
The Camp.
Huh? What camp?
Look, I'm standing
right here.
If they think
he's the thief,
there's nowhere safe
on heaven and Earth
for him now.
Percy, take this
to defend yourself.
It's a powerful weapon.
Guard it well.
Only use it in times
of severe distress.
This is a pen.
This is a pen!
Take him to his mother,
and don't let him
out of your sight.
Okay. Percy, come on.
Come on, man. Come on!
Are you guys crazy
?
Let's go!
.
PERCY:
This is a pen, man
What do you want m
e to do with this?
GROVER: Come on!
Look, man,
what's going on?
(SHUSHING) Look,
don't trust anyone, okay?
Don't look at anybody,
just keep walking!
Why did Mr. Brunner
ask you to watch me?
Because I'm
your protector
.
Wait, wait, wait. Hold on.
My protector?
Are you kidding?
What,
you think because
I'm like this,
I'm not capable of
keeping you safe?
Maybe you're not seeing
what I'm seeing.
You have crutches!
Look, I would give
my life to secure
your well-being.
What are you
talking about?
What's going on?
We got to
warn your mom.
Come on, Perce.
Come on!
Sally! More beer!
PERCY: Mom!
Hey, Mom. Mom! Mom!
Look, we gotta talk, okay?
Hey!
Can't you see
she's servicing me
and my friends?
Hey. Hey!
Don't talk about
my mom like that,
you bald-headed freak.
SALLY: No, Gabe! Gabe!
GROVER: Calm down!
(GROANING)
GABE'S FRIEND: Whoa!
Hey, nice one.
Like I said,
I'm your protector.
Yeah.
Sally,
Percy has to leave now.
Like, right now.
SALLY: (WHISPERING
) Okay.
Look, what is happening?
Okay, I swear,
I didn't steal anything!
Honey, I believe you.
I believe you.
Where are you taking me?
What is this camp?
It's a camp for really
special people,
like you.
"Special people"?
What, am I crazy
or something?
No, honey, no.
Percy, this is
about your father.
SALLY: I was just
out of school
and working at
the Jersey shore
when we first met.
Your father was unlike
any guy I'd ever seen.
He was just dazzling.
Mmm. They're always dazzling.
.
We were really
in love, Percy
And then you came along,
and then it was just perfect.
But he had to leave.
So he did abandon us.
No, honey,
he was forced to.
He loved you.
Leaving you,
it was probably the most
difficult thing he ever did.
(SNORTING SOFTLY)
Why did he have to go?
.
Because he's..
Sally, watch out!
PERCY: Whoa!
Mom! Go straight!
(ALL SCREAMING)
(ALL GROANING)
Percy?
Mom, you all right?
Yeah, yeah.
Grover, you all right?
(GROANING)
Is it me or is it
raining cows?
(HEAVY FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
What is that?
SALLY: Get out!
Come on! Come on!
Why are you
taking your pants off?
What are you doing?
My job!
!
Whoa! Whoa
?
You're half donkey
I'm half goat.
(GROVER GRUNTING)
SALLY: Go, Grover!
Guys, watch out,
there's glass!
Come on, get out of the car!
That thing's getting closer!
You don't even
need these.
Look, man,
those are just
for show.
Follow me!
Whoa!
This way, guys! This way!
Come on! Come on!
Come on, run! Run!
(CRASHING)
(ROARING)
(ALL SCREAMING)
Come on! Come on!
We're here!
Mom! What are you doing?
This is as far
as I can go.
Come on!
I can't go through!
I'm not like you!
Look, I'm not leaving
without you.
You have to!
You're meant to!
(SCREAMING)
(ROARING)
(GROANING)
Put my mother down!
Percy, go!
You're safe
inside the gate!
What can I do?
Listen, use the pen!
What?
Use Brunner's pen
and click it!
Whoa!
)
(SCREAMING
(GRUNTING)
(GROANING)
Perce, are you okay?
(MINOTAUR ROARING)
GROVER: Percy,
behind you!
(ROARING)
Perce, you okay?
I'm not feeling...
Percy!
(PEOPLE GROANING)
GROVER: Perce,
I'm sure glad
you're alive.
Ow!
Where am I?
What is this place?
The infirmary.
You've been unconscious
for three days.
Three days?
So, Perce,
what do you remember?
(SCOFFS)
Some crazy dream.
I don't know.
There was a monster.
My mom was there.
You were there, too,
but you were some
weird hybrid man-goat
thing! Whoa!
Yeah. The politically
correct term is Satyr.
No.
No, no, no, no!
All of it was real
? My mom's gone?
I'm sorry, Percy.
I try, man, I really do.
But, frankly,
I'm just a junior protector.
I don't have my horns yet.
It was my fault.
It was my job
to protect you.
Both of you.
(SIGHING)
(PEOPLE CHATTERING)
So this is
Camp Half Blood.
"Half" meaning what?
I think you know.
"Half" meaning
"half mortal,
half god."
MAN: Fire!
Whoa! Guys!
Watch the arrows!
Newcomer! Hello! Gosh!
Look, man,
remember all the myths
about Greek gods
and goddesses?
Well, they're not myths.
Look, remember
what Mr. Brunner said?
Sometimes they
come down to Earth
and they fall in love
with mortals?
And then
they have kids?
No way.
Yes way.
Yep, you're a demigod!
Two points for Percy Jackson!
(LAUGHING)
Look, don't worry.
But you're not alone.
There's hundreds
in the world.
,
Some lead normal lives
and some,
I'm not allowed to divulge
their names, are very famous.
I'm talking about, like,
White House famous.
See, man,
this place right here,
this is the place
where you'll learn to
harness your powers.
You'll train to
become leaders,
warriors and heroes.
I think you have
the wrong guy, all right?
I'm not a hero.
I'm a loser.
I have dyslexia,
ADHD.
And those are
your greatest gifts.
When you try to read,
the words float
off the page, right?
That's because your
brain is hardwired
for Ancient Greek,
not English.
Like at the museum
, I could read.
Yeah. And your ADHD?
You're impulsive, Percy.
You can't be still!
Those are your natural
battle reflexes, man.
They kept you alive
in your fight.
Look, no pitiful loser
can defeat a Minotaur.
Your blood is special.
It's the blood of a god.
This is a lot to process.
.
Yeah, a lot. A lot
This is where
you'll do most of
your battle training.
What's her name?
She will squash you
like a bug.
(ENUNCIATING)
Her name.
Annabeth.
Daughter of Athena,
the goddess of wisdom.
Hey, no staring.
Keep it moving.
Keep it moving.
Come on.
.
Uh-huh
There's someone
I want you to see.
Check this out.
Oh, wow!
What are those things?
They're Centaurs.
Wait a minute.
Is that Mr. Brunner?
Come on.
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa.
(CHUCKLING)
Mr. Brunner?
In my world,
I'm known as Chiron.
Are you recovered?
Am I recovered?
(STAMMERING)
You, you're not in
a wheelchair. You have...
.
A real horse's ***
I apologize for
hiding my true form,
but I needed to
keep an eye on you.
I hope you'll forgive me.
Come.
GIRLS: Hey, Grover!
(ALL CHATTERING EXCITEDLY)
Ooh. The daughters
of Aphrodite.
Okay. All right, guys.
You guys got a lot
of catching up to do.
Their mother is
the goddess of love,
so you know where that leads.
Hey, baby! Whoo!
(SNORTS) Satyrs.
(ALL WHOOPING)
What is this place?
Welcome home.
.
Your father
built this for you
Wow.
This whole place
is mine?
This thing's got
some weight to it.
My father is Poseidon!
God of the seas.
Why didn't anybody
tell me?
It was for
your own safety.
It's exceedingly rare
for a child to be born
to one of
the big three.
You're very powerful.
A threat.
A threat?
Who am I threatening?
Poseidon's brothers,
Zeus and Hades.
That's why your mother
married your stepfather.
His pungent odor
masked the smell
of your blood
and hid you from anything
or anyone the gods
would send to kill you.
My mother put up
with that creep
to protect me?
Mmm-hmm.
I wish I'd known.
She sacrificed
so much for me.
Now she's gone.
Why am I even here?
.
CHIRON:
You're here because you're in jeopardy
Everyone thinks you're
the lightning thief.
Look, I didn't steal it.
Zeus' bolt is the most
powerful weapon ever created.
And if it's not returned
by the summer solstice,
in 10 days,
there will be a war.
This is your problem,
all right? Not mine.
This is about
your world, not mine.
This is about
all worlds!
Olympians would be forced
to choose sides.
Earth would become
a battleground.
Mountains erupted,
earthquakes,
raging fires!
The end of life
as you know it.
What can we do?
I want to take you
to Olympus,
convince Zeus of
your innocence.
Someone's using you
to start a war.
What are we doing here
? Let's go now.
Your boldness is commendable,
but outside those gates
you would be in danger
at all times.
The Fury and the Minotaur
were only the beginning.
First, we must train.
GROVER: (LAUGHING)
This is always
a fun game to watch.
Ow! God, how do you guys
wear this stuff?
It weighs more than me.
Look, trust me.
Wear it or you'll
get killed.
Wait. What?
What? Wait...
CHIRON:
Heroes! Warriors!
Fall in!
Hustle, hustle!
Dylan, Paris,
stop lollygagging!
Percy. Step forward.
This is Percy Jackson!
(ALL MURMURING)
And he's going
to need a team.
LUKE: We'll take him.
I'm Luke.
Son of Hermes
and camp leader.
Not necessarily
in that order.
Where's your helmet?
No one gave me one.
Chiron, you still
got your wheelchair?
Kid's gonna need it.
You're a goner, man.
.
I'm messing with you.
Smile a little bit.
It's good for you, kid
Anybody got
an extra helmet?
Please pass it up.
Try it on.
That'll protect you.
So will all of us.
Welcome to
the Blue Soldiers,
my friend.
CHIRON: All right!
Everyone in position
for Capture the Flag!
First team to capture
the enemy's banner wins.
Dismissed!
RED SOLDIER LEADER:
Steady, steady!
Now!
(ALL YELLING)
(YELLING)
Percy, I know where
the flag's at. Come on!
Keep your eyes open.
Don't get killed.
!
Whoa! Whoa
, whoa, whoa
(EXCLAIMING)
I'm coming, buddy,
I'm coming!
Sons of Ares. Watch out!
Whoa, that's a sword!
That's a sword!
Oh, you guys take camp
way too seriously.
Go!
(EXCLAIMING)
Percy, get out of here!
Go look for the flag!
How did I just do that?
(PANTING)
.
(INCREDULOUSLY) No
(CHUCKLING EXCITEDLY)
I won.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Did you really think
it would be that easy?
My mother is
goddess of wisdom
and battle strategy.
Do you know
what that means?
I always win.
.
I always lose.
Maybe we're both wrong
Ow!
(BOTH GRUNTING)
!
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa
Okay, Chiron,
shouldn't we get in there
and stop them?
She's killing him, man.
You've got
to be kidding.
This is the best part!
(GRUNTING)
(GROANING)
Stand up and fight,
hero.
(GROANING)
(RED SOLDIERS CHEERING)
Come on, Perce.
Come on, Perce.
POSEIDON: Go to the water.
The water will
give you power.
(GRUNTING)
(YELLING)
(CHEERING)
(YELLING)
(BLUE SOLDIERS CHEERING)
Yeah, Perce!
(GLEEFUL CHATTER)
BOY: Get up there.
GIRL: All right! Yeah!
GROVER: Excuse me!
Excuse me!
Ladies and gentlemen,
the son of Poseidon
is coming through.
A hero is
coming through!
Move it!
Hey, no dirty looks.
Stop that.
Sorry, I'm trying...
?
Hey, Percy
We're having a party
at our place later.
And we would
really love it
if you came.
I'd love to come.
That'd be great.
That would be amazing!
Awesome.
I would love to come,
too, to the party.
You know? Thanks for
inviting me, ladies.
Beat it, nymphs.
Wait, don't leave.
Ladies... I'm available.
Wait, come on, don't leave
. I'm available!
What time's the party?
Feeling like a hero?
(SCOFFS)
More like a mutant.
I'm not gonna grow
a fish tail or gills
or anything like that, am I?
Not likely.
Although a huge ego isn't out
of the question.
You know you could have
killed me out there?
I could have died,
if I was normal.
But you aren't.
I get the sense
that you don't
like me very much.
It's possible.
I mean, our parents
hate each other.
Wait. They do?
Mmm-hmm.
I definitely have
strong feelings for you.
I just haven't decided
if they're positive
or negative yet.
.
Well, you let me know
when you figure it out
You'll be the first.
(PEOPLE EXCLAIMING)
Percy Jackson,
show yourself!
(ALL CLAMORING)
Hades! Stay back!
Percy Jackson,
bring me the bolt!
Be a good boy.
Hand it to me
and I will exchange
it for your mother.
Percy!
Don't listen, Percy!
My mother's gone!
No, your mother
is still alive.
I sent the Minotaur
to abduct her.
She is here with me
in the Underworld.
Mom?
Percy?
What have you done
with my mother?
!
If you ever want to
see your mother again,
you will bring me the bolt
Chiron, I have
to go get her.
Percy, you don't
have the bolt.
Look, I'll tell
him the truth!
When he realizes
I'm not the thief,
he'll release her.
No. You cannot
negotiate with Hades.
When he finds out
you don't have the bolt,
he'll kill you
and your mother.
This is her only chance.
No.
Stick to our plan.
Travel to Olympus,
bargain with Zeus.
Once you convince him
of your innocence,
we will do
everything in our power
to bring back your mother.
Okay.
(SIGHING)
Going somewhere?
Yeah. Yeah,
I'm going for a walk.
Oh, for a walk?
I'm coming with you.
No, no,
I'm going alone.
No, I'm coming
with you.
No!
(CHUCKLING)
You're being followed.
GROVER:
You're stressing me out.
PERCY: Leave me alone.
We got a 1:00
demigod curfew,
okay?
Leave me alone
. Go to sleep
or something.
No.
(SIGHING) Come on.
One small victory
and you're ready
to fight Hades?
Ooh, double team.
Really? You, too?
Look, I just found out
my mother is still alive.
.
I'm gonna get her back
From the Underworld?
Whatever it takes.
Huh. Yeah, well,
maybe you'll
outsmart Hades.
Maybe I will.
Look, man,
I can't let you
do this, okay?
Look, I'm not asking
for your permission.
Okay. Well, according
to regulations,
if I can't stop you,
I must accompany you,
'cause I'm your best friend and your protector.
Junior protector.
(SCOFFING) Is that
really necessary?
I don't need
your help. Okay?
This is something
I have to do
on my own.
Yeah, well,
we weren't asking
for your permission.
Come on, all right?
Today you tried
to kill me.
Now you want
to defend me?
That wasn't real.
That was just training.
Yeah.
Percy, that's all
I've ever done,
is train and train
and train.
I've grown up here.
I've only been in the outside
world a couple of times.
And I've never
had the chance to go
on an actual quest.
Besides,
you've won one battle
and I've won hundreds.
You're gonna need
my experience.
Good point.
)
(CHUCKLING
You two really
want to come?
Yes!
Yeah!
Okay. I guess
we're all going.
?
So who knows
how to get to
the Underworld
I did not think
of that one.
I think I know
someone who might.
MAN'S VOICE:
Friendly Harriers inbound!
(VIDEO GAME WEAPONS FIRING)
Luke?
Hmm?
Hey, guys.
Percy.
I figured you'd stop by
sooner or later.
Everybody does,
just to get away
from all that
Renaissance fair
stuff out there,
you know?
But welcome to
the modern world.
Cool. New stuff.
What are you
guys up to?
We're going to
get my mom back.
Oh!
ANNABETH: Your dad is
the messenger of the gods,
one of the only ones
who's gotten in and out
of the Underworld.
Do you have any idea how?
Mmm. My dad's a jerk.
I've never met him.
You, too?
Guess we all got
Daddy issues, huh?
That's because all gods
are the same. Selfish.
They only care
about themselves.
But I once broke
into my dad's house.
Got some cool stuff.
(COUGHS)
For you.
Whoa!
Flying shoes?
Mmm-hmm.
They're my dad's.
He has hundreds of
these little guys.
He won't even miss them.
Look underneath
the other one.
You see, people have gone
to the Underworld before
without having to be dead.
Hercules did it.
Orpheus did it.
My dad does it
all the time.
Getting in's the easy part.
Getting out,
now that's tricky.
This is a map to
Persephone's pearls.
Persephone?
You mean Hades' wife?
.
Yeah, he forced he
r to marry him.
Keeps her prisoner
Needless to say,
she hates it there.
It's hot, he's a weirdo.
So she has, um,
secret visitors.
Hmm!
LUKE: Mmm!
She keeps pearls
hidden for them
all over the world,
and these pearls,
they provide a quick escape
from the Underworld.
You could use them
to get out.
So, how do
the pearls work?
Easy.
You take a pearl,
you step on it,
you crush it,
visualize where you
want to be taken.
Right now,
there's three pearls
in the United States.
This map will
guide you there.
Right here is
your first location.
GROVER: "Auntie Em's
Garden Emporium."
Once you find
the first pearl,
the map will show
you the next one,
and the next one,
and then you're off
to Hades.
Which reminds me.
You guys
might need some
extra protection, so...
My favorite shield.
You might want to
take a step back.
(GASPING)
Mmm.
Hey. Thanks, Luke.
Ah, don't mention it.
But you're gonna have to
promise me one thing.
If you see my dad on
the highway to hell...
Yeah?
Kick his *** for me.

Hello!
?
Hello?
Anybody home
in Auntieville
(LAUGHS) Check this out.
They got free sodas.
(BOTH SCREAMING)
.
Okay. That's nasty
The Health Department
needs to give
this place an F.
Hey, guys,
check this out.
Look at this.
PERCY: Nice.
Gold drachmas.
That means we're on
the right track.
Here.
How are we gonna find
the pearl in this place?
GROVER:
That's a good question.
Okay, let's split up.
Check everything.
Good idea.
Yeah.
I'm gonna go this way.
Hello?
Get out!
She's coming!
What? Who?
We stopped... Directions..
. My poor husband! Help me!
Please, help me!
(LAUGHING)
.
Check this out.
He looks just like
my Uncle Ferdinand
That's crazy.
He got the mole
in the same place.
,
No. It's not
my Uncle Ferdinand
because Uncle Ferdinand was killed by
Medusa.
(GASPING)
Percy! Annabeth!
We're in trouble!
Grover?
Please!
We have to leave
before she finds us!
Who?
She's turned
my husband to stone!
Grover! Where are you?
Percy! Annabeth!
Annabeth, where are you?
Grover!
(BOTH GROANING)
Come on, man,
watch where you're going!
Perce! Listen.
Where are we?
We're in Medusa's lair.
Annabeth!
Annie!
We're lost!
We'll never leave!
Don't move.
Well, this is
a fabulous surprise.
It's so heartening
to have such
young visitors.
We get so lonely here.
Don't we?
(SNAKES HISSING)
That's why I create
my statues.
They're my only company,
daughter of Athena.
How do you know me?
You have such
beautiful hair.
I once had hair like that.
I was courted,
desired by
many suitors.
But that all changed
because of your mother,
the woman who cursed me.
Who turned me...
Don't look!
...into this!
(SNAKES HISSING)
They say the eyes
are windows to the soul.
I hope you find my eyes
attractive.
So rude, not looking
people in the eyes.
(GASPING)
Come on.
(QUIETLY) Sneak a peek.
How are we suppose
d to fight something
we can't look at?
We can look
at a reflection.
Okay, wait.
Check this out.
All right. Good idea.
I'm gonna go get Annabeth.
Okay, I'm gonna
take care of Medusa.
Okay.
MEDUSA:
You'll make a wonderful
addition to my collection.
We'll be
friends forever.
Do you mind?
Oh, no, no.
Sooner or later
you will open
those eyes.
The temptation
to look at me
is too hard to resist.
Don't look, Annabeth!
Don't open your eyes!
Who's that?
Another demigod?
Mmm.
I can sense you.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa!
Mmm.
Son of Poseidon.
I used to date
your daddy.
(EXCLAIMING IN SURPRISE)
(EXCLAIMING)
Need a hand?
Grover. Help.
Thanks. Okay.
Come on. Let's go.
(GRUNTING)
.
I hear you have
the lightning bolt
May I see it?
I don't have it!
Let me see your eyes.
I hear they're bluer
than the Circassian Sea.
Open them,
or my hungry babies will have to
open them for you.
But it would b
e such a pity
to destroy
such a young
and handsome face.
Stay with me, Percy.
All you have
to do is look.
(ENGINE REVVING)
(PANTING)
Are you okay?
(WHOOPING)
(GASPING)
Yeah, I'm okay.
Son of Poseidon!
(MEDUSA GASPS)
Heads up.
Hey, guys! It's cool
to open up your eyes!
Annabeth, that was great,
great demigod driving.
.
Thanks
(EXCLAIMS IN DISGUST)
ANNABETH: We should take it with us.
The head?
Oh, no. That's sick.
If you open the eyes,
they still work,
dead or alive.
You never know when
something like that
might come in handy.
Yeah, you're right.
But I'm not touching it.
Come on, man,
just take off
your jacket.
We'll wrap it up
until we get some ice.
(STAMMERING)
Why do I got to
take off my jacket?
Because you're
the protector.
Yeah, you're right.
I am the protector.
So I'm gonna
give you my hoodie,
not my jacket. Okay?
Come on, you baby.
Disgusting.
GROVER:
Yeah, just toss it up.
Come on, don't...
(EXCLAIMS IN DISGUST)
Hey. Hey. Guys, wait.
The pearl.
One down, two to go.
Would have been nice
if Luke had warned us
about Medusa.
(SIGHING)
Maybe he just
didn't know.
GPS from the gods.
Where to next?
Let's see.
The Parthenon
in Nashville.
Nashville? Oh, great.
Home of my least
favorite music.
Yee-haw!
(I'LL PRETEND
PLAYING ON RADIO)
%% I make believe
?
%% that the sight of her
in my head's seldom seen ?
(HONKING)
(ALL EXCLAIMING)
(PERCY EXCLAIMING)
Let's stop
for the night!
Yeah.
Let's stop
for the night!
Yeah.
Good idea.
Oh, my God.
Percy.
Hey.
Hey.
Nice work today.
Thanks.
What happened to you?
Oh, that poor lady
who turned to stone,
she...
She had a tight grip.
Check this out.
Cool. Very cool.
So,
why do our parents
hate each other?
They both wanted to be
patron god of Athens.
And the people
chose Athena.
And our parents
have hated each other
ever since.
What's your mom like?
I don't know.
I never met her.
What? Is it like
this for everybody?
Don't any gods
see their kids?
.
It's forbidden
Right after
we were born,
Zeus decreed
that the gods
couldn't have physical contact
with their mortal offspring.
Oh, that's a stupid law.
I agree.
Although, between us,
.
I think my mother
speaks to me sometimes
In times of trouble,
I hear her voice
giving me advice.
That's happened to me!
Yeah.
That's your father
talking to you.
Yo, Percy!
Get in here, man!
This is ugly!
(SIGHING)
Right.
GROVER: Hey, hurry up!
Perce, check this out, man.
You're on TV.
...surrounding
the missing boy,
Percy Jackson,
and his mother,
Sally Ugliano.
But their relatives have
some interesting theories.
So, Mr. Ugliano,
talk to me about
your son, Percy Jackson.
No, he's not my son.
He's a stepson.
He did not come
from these loins.
Ever since he started
with the drugs
and the alcohol,
.
he's never been
the same.
Oh, no
Five nights ago,
he tried to kill me
and he threw his mother
on the ground.
And his cripple friend
then attacked me
from behind
and knocked me out.
When I woke up,
Sally was gone.
She was kidnapped by Percy.
She would never
leave with that...
Oh, shut up, Gabe.
.
Great.
Now I'm a fugitive
.
See? That's what
I'm talking about, man
Gabe's always
running his mouth.
He's just mad
because I busted him u
p with my crutches.
(GROANING)
Guys,
I can't pee
with her watching me.
(RATTLING)
(GASPING)
(SCREAMING)
Sorry, guys.
I messed up.
I should have
closed the curtains.
Come on, guys.
Let'*** the road
before Homeland
Security shows up.
(CHILDREN CHATTERING
EXCITEDLY)
ANNABETH:
Wow, that's amazing.
A complete replica
of the Parthenon
in Nashville.
.
All right, guys.
Let's go get the pearl
Wow.
Hey. That's your mom.
I wonder if
she really looks
like that.
We'll find out.
Guys, check this out.
Oh, man.
.
It's the pearl
That was easy.
(SCOFFING) Easy?
It's 30 feet in the air
and this place is
filled with tourists.
I got an idea.
We'll come back
after the place closes.
Come on, follow me.
.
Or I can just thro
w my crutch up there
I'm saying, the pearl
would fall out...
PERCY: Grover!
Perce, I'm saying...
It's not a bad idea!
The park's been
closed for an hour.
Let's move.
Yes, sir!
All right,
this will be easy.
GROVER: Okay.
I'm gonna fly up.
I'm gonna use
Luke's flying shoes.
I'm gonna grab
the pearl, and...
Cool.
Oh!
Okay, so what are
we going to do?
(SOFTLY)
All right, guys.
I got this.
(WHISPERING)
You got what?
Hey, yo, hey, listen!
You're going to
kill the janitors?
Chill.
Those are
working-class
Americans!
(GRUNTS)
Oh, man.
(GRUNTS)
(GRUNTS)
(GRUNTS)
Oh. Why did
you do that?
They're not dead,
they're unconscious.
Now, we have 30 minutes.
Come on!
Cool.
Y'all, what's cracking?
ANNABETH: Hey.
Luke!
LUKE: Annabeth!
ANNABETH: How do you
turn on the shoes?
LUKE: Tell Percy
he's got to break
into a run, okay?
He's got to build up speed,
kind of like
a jet on a runway.
It's gonna take
some practice.
Okay.
(EXHALING)
I got this.
Whoa... Whoa!
It's gonna take
some practice!
Whoa!
(EXCLAIMING)
Oh! Whoa. Whoa.
(EXCLAIMING)
(GRUNTING)
I got it!
Yes!
Yeah, Percy!
GROVER: There we go!
There it is.
GROVER: Yeah!
That's what
I'm talking about.
Way to go.
All right,
let's grab everything...
Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
Oh, man.
Look, I got this, okay?
.
Hey, guys, I'm with
Park Recreational Services
You guys have been
caught sleeping on the job
. You better be happy
I'm not writing
you guys up, okay?
This is the last time.
ALL:
We've been expecting you,
Mr. Jackson.
(SIGHING) Not again.
ALL: Just give us
the lightning bolt
and we'll let you go.
Look, I don't have
the lightning bolt.
(COUGHS)
Okay. This is bad.
(ALL GROWLING)
(ROARING)
Hydra!
Guys, watch out!
The middle one
spews fire!
Whoa!
(ROARING)
(SNARLING)
(EXCLAIMING)
Oh, you got a sweet tooth?
All right! Try that!
Whoa!
Percy, stop! No!
Whoa!
How flipping
awesome was that?
I just killed
that thing!
Killed it?
You only made it worse.
What are you
talking about?
Percy, when you cut
off one Hydra head,
two more grow back.
(SCREECHING)
ANNABETH: Get back!
Distract that thing!
I'll get the pearl!
(ROARING)
(GASPING)
(EXCLAIMING)

Whoa, whoa

Let's go!
Let's go! Come on!
GROVER: Go!
Open the door!
PERCY:
The door won't open!
ANNABETH: Grover!
(PANTING)
(WHOOPING)
(EXCLAIMS IN DISGUST)
That's nasty.
MAN ON TV:
We interrupt our regularly
scheduled programming
for this special report.
Scientists are baffled
by what now appears to be
a single storm cloud
that is expanding over
much of Europe and Asia,
moving towards
the United States.
Savage winds,
rain and mammoth waves
are being reported
along the coastlines
of several continents.
So far, no casualties,
but countries everywhere
are preparing for the worst.
.
The gods are angry
.
We need to get
the last pearl
Where's the next location?
Yeah.
Well, let's see.
Well, guys,
we got ourselves
a good one.
We're going to Vegas!
Yo!
Oh. There it is.
Lotus Casino.
GROVER: I've been
looking forward to this!
Look, guys, remember,
always split the eights,
never the tens, okay?
ANNABETH:
We're not here to
gamble, remember?
GROVER: We got poker,
we got blackjack...
Grover,
we're not here
to have fun.
We just need to
grab the pearl
and go, okay?
All right.
(A LITTLE LESS
CONVERSATION PLAYING)
GROVER: This is nice!
%% A little less conversation,
a little more action, please
?
%% All this aggravation
ain't satisfactioning me ?
Okay, this place
is officially dope.
Here's your complimentary
Lotus Fun Book.
Thanks,
but we're not staying.
Please, I insist.
It's good for everything
in the hotel and casino.
Don't comp us.
We're not checking in.
.
Okay, that guy
was persistent
PERCY: Yeah!
Yeah, we're here
for one thing
and one thing only.
ANNABETH: Wow.
PERCY:
That is really
awesome.
(GROVER GASPS)
Where would we
find a green pearl
in this place?
Maybe on
a cocktail waitress
or a showgirl.
We should start there.
Can I get you something?
Try a lotus flower.
They're so good.
It's our signature dish.
Oh. Really?
Signature?
Is it good?
Thank you.
Yo, do we have to
pay for this?
I guess we don't.
It's free.
Mmm. That's really good.
Mmm. Wow. This is
the most delicious thing
I've ever consumed!
(POKER FACE PLAYING)
%% I wanna hold 'em
like they do in Texas,
please
(ALL LAUGHING)
Wow.
%% Fold 'em let 'em
hit me, raise it,
baby, stay with me
%% I love it
%% Love, game, intuition,
play the cards
Guys, why don't we
stay here for a while?
GROVER: Yeah!
That sounds like
an amazing idea.
(BLEATING)
But we're on
a time-sensitive
mission right now.
(ALL LAUGHING)
Aren't we...
I can't remember.
PERCY:
I totally forgot
what I was gonna say.
I think I figured it out.
I think I know why
we're here.
Why are we here?
To have fun.
Okay. Let's never leave!

Let's stay here!

Ooh! Ooh!

Thanks.
Thank you! Thanks.
POSEIDON: No, Percy.
Don't eat the flower.
It dulls the senses,
keeps you prisoner here.
Hey, I think
I'm gonna go get some air.
I'll be right back.
.
ANNABETH: Okay
WAITRESS:
Another lotus flower?
PERCY: No, I'm good.
Thank you.
POSEIDON:
Look around you.
Focus. Focus!
Another lotus flower?
No, thank you.
Would you like
another one?
I'm fine.
PERCY:
The French Connection,huh?
MAN: Yeah.
You seen it yet?
Yeah, yeah,
I think so, on DVD.
What's DVD?
Seriously?
Whatever. I think it's the best
movie of the year.
What? Wait.
This year?
Yeah, this year. 1971.
POSEIDON: Percy, wake up.
You need to escape.
Wake up!
You could really use
a lotus flower.
I really
don't want one.
Thank you.
Just one.
No!
Another lotus flower?
No.
We insist.
I really don't want
another lotus flower,
so please, leave me alone.
Is there a problem,
Mr. Jackson?
No. Thank you.
Percy Jackson's awake.
(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)
!
Excuse me.
Annabeth. Annabeth
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
What're you doing with that?
Don't eat that.
.
What?
We have to go. Now
What do you mean?
We're having so much fun!
No, no, no,
we're not having fun.
Grover! Grover! Wake up!
Grover! Come on,
we got to go!
What? Look, Perce,
your timing
is terrible, okay?
Dude, we're heading
to the chapel.
We're getting married!
.
How romantic!
No, no, no, no, no
Hey, which of y'all
did I propose to?
Wake up!
Yo, man,
you're such
a buzz kill.
?
Percy,
what's wrong with you?
Why are you doing this
Both of you need
to wake up, now!
Look at me. Look at me.
You're in a trance, okay?
We're trapped!
,
Listen to me.
If you eat the flowers
you're never gonna
want to leave. Okay?
!
We're gonna be
stuck here forever
Oh.
Oh, no.
We got to go.
Okay, I see
your point! Okay.
Let's get
the green pearl!

(HORNS BLARING)
(PERCY EXCLAIMING)
Now, that's how you
get out of a casino!
That's how you drive!
Of course.
Now that all makes sense.
What?
That was the lair
of the lotus eaters.
They've been luring people
into their trap
since ancient times.
Guys, look.
Tomorrow is June 21st.
PERCY: No. No, no.
It can't be.
Today's the 15th.
No, tomorrow is the 21st.
We were in there
for five days.
It felt like hours.
Then tomorrow's
the solstice.
Our deadline is
tomorrow at midnight.
Okay, look,
we've got to move it.
Where's Hades?
It's in Hollywood.
All right.
I can get us there
in four hours.
Maybe three.
(ENGINE REVVING)

An unprecedented storm cloud

Authorities in several states

PERCY: Don't slip.
Watch your step.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

"Woe to all

there ain't no

Yep. Looks like
we're stuck in here.
Yeah.

(VOICES WHISPERING EERILY)
GROVER: Hey, Perce,
who's that creepy guy
with the hoodie?
I don't know.
Let's find out.
Who are you?
We need to see Hades.
The living are
not permitted here.
Die and come back.
Okay, we won't die
and come back, but...
(SIGHING) You know what?
I think I know what he wants.
What?
You got to pay
the ferryman.
Watch this.
Yo, my friend!
What up?
(LAUGHING)
Okay, guess not.
Look, you like
dead people, right?
I got a few dead people
you might recognize.
Check this out.
Jackson, Grant.
And look who's
joining the party.
Benjamin Franklin.
Yeah, you like that,
don't you?
Look,
you give us a boat ride,
you take the money
and you get
an interior decorator,
'cause it is too
depressing in here.
All right?
Here you go.
(GASPING IN DISBELIEF)
That was $170!
Wait, wait.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
The drachma. The drachma!
Climb aboard.
Thanks for telling me, man,
you're burning money.
We're in a recession.
That's treason.
Just shut up.
Shut up, man. Go on.

What is all this?

Lost hopes and dreams.

Yeah, what is that?
I don't know.
(ALL EXCLAIMING)
(GROWLING)
Annie, stab that thing!
What are we gonna do?
PERSEPHONE: Back!
(COMMANDING IN GREEK)
What were those things?
Hellhounds.
Yeah, well,
maybe you should
feed them.
They sensed the presence
of another animal.
.
Great, they smell goat
Hmm. A Satyr.
I haven't had a Satyr
visit before.
HADES: Persephone!
What could possibly
be taking so long?
Don't ignore me!
Or what?
What will you do?
I'm already in Hell.
We have visitors.
Nephew.
Welcome.
You have your
father's looks.
.
Always the lucky
side of the family
GROVER: (LAUGHING)
Wait. Wait a minute,
wait a minute.
You're Hades?
Yes.
Sorry.
I just didn't expect you
to look like this, man.
Kind of stylish.
I like it.
Would you prefer
that I looked like this?
(ALL EXCLAIMING)

No! No! Look, stick to

It works for you!

(SNORTS IN DERISION)
HADES: You're very
brave coming here.
Come closer.
(WHISPERING)
Hey. Perce.
HADES: I can see
the look of disgust
in your eyes,
but this existence
was not of my choosing.
I was banished here
by Zeus and your father.
I am damned.
My only chance
of getting out
of this place
is to defeat my brothers
and take control of Olympus.
But, of course,
I'll need the bolt.
And I need my mother.
Then we have
an understanding.
You give me the bolt
and I'll give you
your mother.
I need to tell
you the truth.
I'm not
the lightning thief.
I don't have the bolt.
I never did.
Why did you
come here, then?
Well, I was hoping
that when you saw
that I wasn't the thief,
you'd let my mother go.
Yes. Yes,
but do you think
I'm an idiot?
I'm Hades!
Now, give me the bolt,
or say goodbye
to your mother!
(GASPS)
(GASPING)
Percy!
(SIGHING) I thought
I'd lost you forever.
No.
(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)
Zeus' master bolt.
Liar.
I swear,
I don't know how
that got there.
That's not even
my shield!
No!
Luke rigged it!
He put the bolt
in his shield
and used us.
Luke stole
the lightning bolt.
I think we're done here.
Feed them to the souls.
(SCREECHING)
ALL: Whoa! Whoa!
We had a deal, all right?
You have the bolt!
Just let us go!
Summon the hounds.

(LAUGHING EXCITEDLY)

Bad dog!
He won't
remember a thing!
Why did you do that?
Because he's cruel
and abusive!
The only thing
I look forward to
is my allotted time
away from this hellhole.
A war of the gods
would put an end to that.
And I'd be alone,
with only him,
forever.
Go. Take the bolt,
and your mother.
Only three?
Oh, no.
There are four of you.
Each pearl transports
only a single person.
One of you
will have to stay.
All right, I'll stay.
You three go.
SALLY: What? No.
No, no, no.
I've achieved
my quest.
I'm staying here.
SALLY: No. No!
ANNABETH:
I've trained for
situations like this.
Guys! Guys.
Knock it off.
I'm staying, because
I'm the protector.
Grover, come on.
Look, man,
I don't want to
hear it. Just go.
It's my duty.
It's what I'm meant for.
We'll come back
for you.
I'll take very
good care of him.
All right.
Now move it, guys!
Each of you, step on a pearl
and concentrate on
where you want to go.
Take this.
To Olympus.
(BLEATING)
Ooh!
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
Hey. Look.
Zeus and Poseidon
preparing for battle.
.
Oh, no, no.
This isn't the right place
This isn't Olympus.
This is...
This is the
Empire State Building!
Percy! The entrance
to Olympus is there!
Well, there's 10 minutes
till midnight. Let's move.
Percy Jackson!
Well, you weren't supposed
to make it out alive.
I can't let you take
that bolt to Olympus.
I'm the lightning thief.
You hid the bolt
in my shield. Why?
Well, when you said
you were going to
the Underworld, it hit me.
"That is the perfect
opportunity to get
the bolt to Hades."
Why would you do that?
To bring Olympus
crumbling down.
.
SALLY: Percy, let's go
Let's go!
Well, it's too late,
'cause I'm returning
the bolt to Zeus right now.
Not before midnight.
(YELLING)
(LUKE GRUNTS)
You all right?
Yeah.
Luke! Why do you want
a war of the gods?
Control.
They've been in power
for too long.
I say it's time
for our generation
to take over.
Remold the world
in our image.
A world of new heroes.
You're no hero.
(ALL GRUNTING)
Huh!
(SCREAMING)
.
Mom, are you
all right?
(GASPING) Yeah
Stay here.
PERCY: Luke!
(EXCLAIMING)
(GROANING)
Maybe they were wrong.
.
Maybe you're
no son of Poseidon
(EXCLAIMS)
(COUGHING)
(EXHALING)
(PANTING)
Yeah. I think I am
the son of Poseidon.
(BOLT CRACKLING)
He's got the bolt!
Come on! Let's move!
We've got two minutes!
(MACHINE POWERING UP)
(ALL EXCLAIM)
(ACCELERATING)
Olympus.
Percy,
I can't get through.
You've got to go!
(ALL ARGUING INDISTINCTLY)
Silence!
It is almost midnight.
This was predestined!
!
You wanted this battle
You have only
yourself to blame!
Please! Let's be rational.
War is not the answer!
Time has run out.
PERCY: Wait!
!
Wait! Wait
Wow.
My name is Percy Jackson,
and I think you might be
looking for this.
Give me the bolt,
lightning thief.
You're wise to
betray your father.
.
I didn't steal it.
And I have no
connection to Poseidon
But tell me,
if you didn't steal it,
then who did?
Luke, son of Hermes.
You see,
he was angry at you.
.
All of you
.
He wanted you to
destroy yourselves
You have done well.
Let there be peace.
)
(EXHALES IN RELIEF
Hi, Mom.
Annabeth,
I am so proud of you.
Zeus, I have
a good friend.
He's a Satyr
named Grover.
He's my protector,
and the only reason why we escaped
the Underworld
is because
he stayed behind.
And now you expect me
to bring him back.
Very well.
I believe this assembly's
business here is finished.
Brother, please.
I need to speak
with him.
Just this once.
I'll meet you outside.
I'm not expecting you
to forgive me.
But I want you to know
that I'm grateful.
I didn't do it for you.
I did it to save Mom.
Please.
We don't have
much time.
How old was I
when you left?
Seven months.
Look, I didn't need you
there all the time, but...
(SIGHING)
I would have liked to
have seen you just once.
?
Why didn't you
ever come back
I wanted to.
When I was with you
and your mother,
I became less concerned
with my responsibilities.
I was becoming human.
?
And that's a bad thing
For a god?
Zeus thought so.
That's why
he passed the law
preventing gods from
ever having contact
with their children.
That was because of you?
(SIGHING)
But I was always
watching over you.
Just because
you didn't see me
doesn't mean that
I wasn't there.
When you were troubled,
I tried to help.
I heard you.
I know I'm not the father
you always wanted,
but if you ever need me,
I'll be there for you,
in your thoughts
and in your dreams.
I'll stand by you, Percy.
Always.
(EXHALES SOFTLY)
(SIGHS)
SALLY: You can com
e visit me anytime.
Just promise me
that I don't have to see
that loser Gabe ever again.
I kicked him out.
Yeah, he's gone.
He's out of
our lives forever.
Finally.
(SALLY CHUCKLES)
Oh!
(SIGHING)
I'm going to
miss you.
Me, too.
Percy?
This is where you belong.
Good job, man.
Thanks, Perce.
ARCHER: Ready! Aim!
Hey, whoa, Perce..
. Watch it!
Hey!
You guys
gonna kill the man
who saved the world?
Great job. All you guys,
take a lunch break.
Thank you!
(LAUGHING) So,
the conquering hero
returns, triumphant.
Grover.
Hey!
You notice anything different about me?
No.
You sure?
Anything that's
improved about me?
No. What,
you've been working out?
What, you get
a new cologne?
You smell good.
Look, man.
I got my horns!
Oh! I was seeing them
the whole time.
I mean, look at that thing.
You got little horns
in your head.
Right?
Crazy.
Zeus came through,
and now
I'm Senior Protector,
First Class, baby.
Congratulations.
Definitely earned them.
Thank you, man.
CHIRON:
Keep moving, keep moving!
Don't lose interest!
One foot in front
of the other,
and the next thing
you know,
you're running!
Percy.
You left the camp.
You disobeyed
my orders.
Yeah, about that.
Which is why
you're my
favorite student.
You can receive all
the training in the world,
but ultimately,
you have to follow
your instincts.
Grace under pressure.
All right.
Time to train.
Go suit up.
You might be
a big shot on Olympus,
.
but down here,
you're still just
one of my students
Move it.
.
Nice horns, Grover
I'm serious, man.
We talked,
we wooed, we dined,
we had a great time!
Well, I'm happy
for you, you know?
Persephone might
really like me.
I'm serious.
(ALL GRUNTING)
I think you can handle
this one on your own.
(EXHALING) Uh-huh.
All right, Perce.
(EXHALES)
Hey, Perce,
awesome job, man.
Hey, thanks.
Good job.
Thanks.
Good job.
(MAN GRUNTS)
(PANTING)
ANNABETH: Who's next?
I think I'd like
to give it a shot.
Welcome home.
Whoa! Whoa! Wait!
First rule of
battle strategy.
Don't ever let your
opponent distract you.
(POUNDING ON DOOR)
GABE: Sally, open the door!
Open up!
You changed the locks?
Yes.
So, here's your junk.
You can
let yourself out.
Well...
How am I supposed to
move all this stuff
by myself?
Deal with it.
I need a beer.
What? "Do not open..."
That little brat.
Well, I may not
live here anymore,
but I'm still the king
of this castle.
(HISSING)
(STONE HARDENING)
