Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.86,0:01:27.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the path ahead was marked with \Nuntold terrors–
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.86,0:01:31.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,enough to test even the fiercest heroes.

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and fought blunderingly in the dark, \Nslaying wave after wave of foe.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the morning light \Nrevealed a horrible truth:

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yet again, Jason had allowed \Nthe crew to be distracted,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this time at a terrible cost.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Ashamed at his conduct, he resolved \Nto focus only on the Fleece,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but even this haste proved ruinous.

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,oblivious to the absence of his \Nmost powerful crewmate.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The remaining Argonauts continued \Ntheir quest,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,until stopping at the sight of an old man \Nsurrounded by a swirl of harpies.

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and endless torture for giving \Naway his prophecies.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Moved by his plight, the wind brothers \Nset upon the flock,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,providing Phineas with a brief respite \Nfrom his punishment.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In return,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the seer told them how to overcome\Nthe terrifying trial that lay ahead:
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the Symplegades, a pair clashing rocks \Nthat reduced ships to splinters.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But first, the Argonauts would have to \Nmaneuver past the mouth of hell,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,around the island of the bloodthirsty \NAmazons, and under psychedelic skies.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,These adventures cost the crew both \Nin men and morale–
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and some feared they might \Nbe losing their minds.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Upon, reaching the clashing rocks, \Nthe exhausted crew quaked with fear.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But Phineas’ advice rang in their heads.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The Argonauts released a single dove
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and sped through in its wake \Nto emerge unscathed.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,With this narrow escape, the Argonauts \Nfinally had Colchis in their sights.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yet while Jason rested and celebrated \Nwith his crew,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he could feel his time among them \Nwas drawing to a close.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As the fleece gleamed in his mind, he knew\Nhe would have to retrieve it alone.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But he could not guess
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that this final task would have \Nthe most horrible price of all.
