>> Oh God!
-
This is horrible, unhappy woman.
-
The grief that you suffer.
-
Where will you turn?
-
Where will you find shelter?
-
What country,
what home,
-
will save you from sorrow?
-
A god has engulfed you, Medea.
-
This wave is now
breaking upon you.
-
There is no way out.
-
(thunderclap)
-
♪ ["O Fortuna"] ♪
-
>> Yes, things are all amiss.
-
Who could deny it?
-
Believe me though,
that's not how it will end.
-
The newlyweds have
everything at stake
-
and struggles await the one
who could mate this match.
-
Do you think I ever could
have fawned on him like that
-
without some gain in mind?
-
Some ruse?
-
I never would have
spoken to him
-
or touched him with
my hands.
-
He's such an idiot.
-
He could have thrown me out.
-
Destroyed my plans.
-
Instead, he's granted me
a single day to turn
-
three enemies to
three dead bodies.
-
The father.
-
And the bride.
-
And my own husband.
-
I know so many pathways
to their deaths.
-
I don't know which to
turn to first, my friends.
-
Shall I set the bridal
home on fire,
-
creeping silently
into their bedroom?
-
There's just one threat.
-
If I'm apprehended
entering the house,
-
my ruse discovered,
I'll be put to death.
-
My enemies will laugh at me.
-
The best way is the
most direct,
-
to use the skills I have
by nature and poison them.
-
Destroy them with
my drugs.
-
Ah, well.
-
Alright, they die.
-
What city will receive me?
-
What host will offer
me immunity?
-
What land will take me in
and give me refuge?
-
There's no one.
-
I must wait just long
enough to see if any
-
sheltering tower appears.
-
Then, I will kill in silence
by deceit.
-
But if I have no recourse
from disaster,
-
I'll take my sword
and kill them.
-
Even if it means
my own death.
-
I have the utmost nerve.
-
Now, by the goddess whom
I most revere,
-
Hecate, whom I choose
as my accomplice,
-
who dwells within my
inmost hearth I swear,
-
no one can hurt my heart
and then farewell.
-
I'll turn their marriage bitter.
-
Desolate.
-
They'll regret their match,
regret my exile.
-
And now, spare nothing that
is in your knowledge, Medea.
-
Make your plan.
-
Prepare your ruse.
-
Do this dreadful thing.
-
There is so much at stake.
-
Display your courage.
-
Do you see how you
are suffering?
-
Do not allow these
Sisyphean snakes
-
to laugh at you on
Jason's wedding day.
-
Your father is noble,
your grandfather is Helios.
-
You have the knowledge,
not to mention women's nature.
-
For any kind of noble deed,
we're helpless.
-
From malice though,
our wisdom is unmatched.
