All language subtitles for Hercules - S01E06 - As Darkness Falls

Oh, glorious Hera. I must
possess the beautiful Penelope.

Please, send me some sign.

I will do anything to
win her anything.

Thank you, great Hera.

Now you must show me
who must I kill?

Soldier! Where you headed?

Nespa.

I'm going there,
myself to a wedding.

Let me give you a hand.

- I'm not trying to steal your armor.
- Don't touch it!

- I'm just trying to help.
- I don't want your help.

Two sets of armor
your comrade's.

He died because I was a coward.

I'm taking his armor
back to his family.

You still have a long ways to go.

It's the least I can do.

I understand.

Good luck, my friend.

Ha-ha! Beat that.

Dead center.

OK?

Go!

Huh!
Why do we bother practicing?

Even if we win an event,
the groom gets the money.

I take pride in knowing
I'm as good as any of them.

- Then why aren't you...
- Yeah!

...sitting at the main table instead
of quarantined half-way to the woods?

Still not many people would
dare invite a centaur to a wedding.

Ten years we worked
for the bride's father.

And this is the thanks we get?

A table between the children and
where they tether their beasts?

Aww, are you denying
the beast in you?

- You watch your tongue.
- Craesus is right, Lyla.

You'd probably be a bridesmaid
if you didn't hang around with us.

- I choose my own friends.
- Lyla!

Fill it with wine.
And when the time is right, add this!

Hera has given me the power
to win the hand of Penelope.

Penelope? She's the bride!

Now I can show her the
error of her judgment.

And with this
I will avenge my brother's death!

It's a club like you've never seen.

This club will kill Hercules.

This is the story of a time long ago.

A time of myth and legend,

when the ancient gods
were petty and cruel,

and they plagued mankind with suffering.

Only one man dared
to challenge their power-Hercules.

Hercules possessed a strength
the world had never seen,

a strength surpassed only
by the power of his heart.

He journeyed the earth, battling the
minions of wicked stepmother, Hera,

the all-powerful queen of the gods.

But wherever there was evil,
wherever an innocent would suffer,

there would be Hercules.

Hercules? Hey, Hercules! Wait up!

Not again.

Hercules! I thought it was you!

Salmoneus, good to see you.

Wooo!
You got quite a stride, there.

You should take better
care of yourself.

You're looking a little warn down
since the last time I saw you.

Yeah-heah-heah.
Hey, that’s not funny, my friend.

It might be easy for a god
to entertain fifty nubile maidens.

It almost killed me.

Almost, huh? Still selling togas?

Nah, I got out of that racket
style change every year.

Real estate!
That's where the future is.

They're not making any more land,
you know? Which reminds me-- hey!

Take a look at this.
Isn't that beautiful?

I got a great deal on some
swampland in Macedonia.

- Not interested.
- No, I don't mean for you to buy!

You could be my partner, huh?

With your knack for moving
mountains and diverting rivers,

we could make a killing just
subdividing by twenty extra lots.

- Not interested.
- Think about it!

You don't have to decide now!
Hey, Hercules, where you going?

- You're going to Nespa, too.
- Yeah!

There's a wedding going on there.

I figure that newlyweds always
need to get off on the right foot.

Buy a home, a little land.

See, you got your southern exposure
three kinds of...

Happy?

Mmmmm...

and you?

Mmm... very.

But I still think it was a mistake
inviting Lyla and the centaurs.

Marcus, we've been over this.
Lyla is one of my oldest friends.

And Craesus and Deric have
worked my father's farm for years.

It'd be an insult not to invite them.

Even at the risk of destroying
the wedding ceremony?

They'll be fine, at least as long
as they stay away from the wine.

Mmm...
who's gonna keep them away?

Location, location, location.
That's what it's all about!

- Not interested.
- No...

you don't realize the potential--
whoa!

Look at all these prospects!
Ah, guests.

I can't believe your ability to turn
anything into a profit-making venture.

- It's a gift.
- Do me a favor?

Keep the hustling a
selling to a minimum?

They may be
dressed for a wedding,

but these are not rich people.

You hurt me.

Don't tell me I've actually
wounded your pride.

What pride? You're cutting
off my source of revenue!

I'm trying to earn a living, here!

- Hercules!
- Penelope!

Oh, Penelope, look...
look at you. You're all grown up.

Look, I couldn't stay
twelve forever not even for you.

I'm so happy to see you.
I wasn't sure you'd come.

What, miss the wedding
of Myceum's sister?

- I wish he were here to see it.
- I know... me too.

- This is a friend of mine, Salmoneus.
- Congratulations.

I'd like to talk to you
about your future.

- Do you listen to a word I say?
- Which word is that?

Come you must be
starving after your journey.

- Hi! Uh, I'm Salmoneus...
- Now, tell me all about your adventures.

Two hundred four paces!

Ever seen anyone throw that far?

Only once.

Oh, how about that far,
with accuracy?

Pick your target.

- The far stump.
- The far stump?

- How can he reach that far tree?
- You're on.

OK!
I've got Hercules for twenty dinars!

Twenty dinars!
Who'll take the centaurs? Twenty dinars!

Bet against Hercules? Are you crazy?

I'll give two-to-one odds.
Three-to-one. Five?

OK, at five-to-one, that's let me
see ten dinars pays fifty less...

Be my guest.

That'll be hard to beat.

Very hard.

It's a little light.

- Makes it harder to gauge the distance.
- Well, perhaps you'd rather--

Yeah! Yeah!

- It went clear through it!
- He hit the centaur's spear!

OK! That's five for you!
Nothing for you.

Lucky shot.

Hey, Hercules! You ever
thought about getting an agent?

- What's an agent?
- You know, someone to find you work.

Make sure you get paid
for all your toil and trouble?

It's not work to me, Salmoneus.
I enjoy helping people.

And besides, payment is
never part of the deal.

See, that's why you need me! I could
get you a contract for big dinars!

- Not interested.
- I'm just thinking of your future.

Suppose you wanna get
out of the hero business you know

open up a souvenir shop
have I know not interested.

I bet I know what interests you.

- And-- what's that?
- Pretty things?

Come... I'll show you
the best view in all of Nespa.

Well, come on.

I won't bite.

Did I lie?

No, it must be wonderful to wake
up every morning and see this.

Hmm... I have never seen
a man throw a javelin so far.

Well, all it takes is a little practice.

- What else have you practiced?
- Can we slow this down?

Well, don't tell me you
like to fall in love

with someone before you
go to bed with them.

- I'm not a virgin, you know?
- That's not the point.

I just don't want to go through life

leaving a string of
fatherless children behind.

Are you always so noble?

I try to be.

Well, a toast to Hercules and nobility.

And to Lyla and beauty.

Are you sure I can't
convince you otherwise?

Ah, I'm sorry.

No.

Look... I can't do this.

Well, you can't expect me to make
it easy for you no offense.

Uh, none taken.

Excuse me.

Tell me, Salmoneus
do I look all right to you?

Uh, sure,
I think you're very attractive.

I mean, I don't find you particularly
attractive but I'm sure women do.

I mean, I don't find you unattractive.

In fact, I consider
you quite handsome.

I don't want you to
get the wrong idea!

I'm not interested in you that way.

What I meant was-- Do I look like
there's anything wrong with me?

Come again?

I just don't fell right.

It's my eyes. Does the day
seem a bit overcast to you?

Not at all. Why do you ask?

Just curious.

I think it's disgusting
that they should ask

those creatures
to a wedding, no less!

Shh! He'll hear you.

Quiet down. Quiet down.

Funny I thought the
chicken was delicious.

- You think it's the company?
- It's possible.

You see assigned
seating can be a problem.

Yes, uh, I've noticed
these centaurs have been

exiled to the far tables.

Well, some would claim that they
offer a better view of the ceremonies.

Well, in that case, perhaps
you'd care to eat with us.

I'd love to. It's been years since
I've broken bread with a centaur.

It's rumored you were taught by one.

No rumor almost everything I know,
I learned from a centaur named Ceridian.

- Including athletic skills?
- Yes.

Perhaps you oughtta test a
student see how well he's learned.

Done.

Two fingers left of center!

Great shot, Deric!

Hercules won't beat that!

Two fingers right of center! A tie!

- Two winners!
- I want my money back!

- Well done.
- Yeah, give us our stakes back!

Why not leave it with me, huh?
I'll give great odds! I'll double the odds!

I'm not laying back.
Something is wrong with my eyes.

Yeah, right! You hit a bull's-eye
two hundred paces away, huh?

- You must be going blind, huh?
- Salmoneus, I'm telling you, I can't--

You know, whatever
you're doing, keep it up!

If this keeps going,
I get the odds down to three

maybe even two to-one, huh?
Ha-ha!

- You gave him the drink?
- Just like Nemis said.

- All of it?
- What do you think I am stupid?

Anybody else would've
been completely incapacitated.

- Nemis is too crazy to care.
- Huh!

You'd be crazy too,
if Nemis killed your twin.

Nemis' twin tried to rape Hercules'
wife. He deserved to die.

Too bad you wound up on
the same side as Nemis, huh?

- And the rest of us outcasts!
- Watch your mouth, Craesus!

Sharos makes a beautiful maid
of honor, doesn't she?

Pity she's spoken for.

Oh, maybe I am losing my touch.

Oh, but you didn't have
any problems yesterday.

- Penelope?
- Hmm?

How well do you know Lyla?

Oh! The lovely Lyla!
We used to be best friends.

When we were younger,
we were inseperable.

She had a real crush on my brother
before he died at the siege of Corinth.

And then she changed.

She got wilder started
hanging around with centaurs.

- Well, it's not a crime.
- Oh, it is to some people around here.

You might have lost a few fans
when you befriended Deric, earlier.

I didn't befriend him,
I was just being civil.

Yeah, I try to be the same way.
Centaurs are like everyone else.

Some are good, some are bad.
Oh, no... speaking of bad.

- Nemis.
- Where're you going?

- Take it easy, Centaur!
- You know him?

His twin brother tried to abduct
someone very dear to me.

I was forced to kill him.
What's he doing here?

I suppose he invited himself.
He used to work our farm.

We even played together
when I was younger.

Then my father threw him off
when he started getting too familiar.

- Your father had the right idea.
- Marcus, don't.

I don't want him here.
He wasn't invited.

Please? Don't make a scene.

Everyone ready?

Nemis, are you sure you
wanna go through with this?

- Have you chosen your prize?
- Oh, yes, I have.

- Stop it. No, Marcus.
- No, listen.

No, come on
it's our wedding day, please?

- Don't ask me to leave.
- Don't be afraid. He'll go before long.

Some day,
Penelope will thank me for this.

- Hey, look! It's Tiron!
- It's our brother's armor.

- Where is he, Tiron?
- He died in battle at my side.

- It was my fault.
- Tiron!

- Tiron, you're back!
- Please, Sharos.

- I don't deserve you not anymore.
- I'll second that!

Tell us how our brother died, war-hero!

It was in the marshes at Thebes.

We were attacked by a larger force.
I fell.

I was about to be killed.
Taros turned his back to help.

- He died saving me.
- Did you avenge his death?

I tried but the command
to retreat was sounded!

- So you ran?
- I withdrew!

A soldier follows orders!

Taros was already dead.

There was nothing I could do.

Then I'll avenge my brother,
and you shall join him!

No!

- Hold on! Hold on!
- It's not your business, Hercules!

Killing him won't
bring your brother back.

- But it'll make us feel better!
- Why?

Tiron has acted with honor.

He's carried your brother's armor
from the battlefield to your doorstep.

So, we'll return the favor!
We will deliver his armor to his family!

Then you'll have to go through me.

It needs salt.

Not a bad payday.

I'm surprised that first guy
caught you with a sucker-punch.

- You could've warned me.
- I thought you saw it coming.

I'm not seeing much of
anything lately, Salmoneus.

The guy was as big as a house.
I mean, how could you miss him?

That's what I'm trying to tell you.

I think I'm going blind.

Salmoneus, what's going on?

The centaurs smashed
the banquet table,

and they're beating
up the guests!

Penelope!

Hey! They grabbed the bride
they're heading this way!

Help! Somebody, help me!

All I can see is shadows.

Let me go!

Watch out!

No!

Lyla! Come on!

Let's go!

Hercules?

He's breathing. Don't drown him!

Oh, thank the gods he's alive!

- What happened?
- They took them, they’re gone.

- Who?
- The centaurs and that slut, Lyla!

- No, who'd they take?
- Penelope and Sharos.

Marcus... Tiron...
you know the land.

You lead the way.
Salmoneus, you're coming, too.

Hercules, you know
I'm not much of a warrior.

Salmoneus, I need you to be my eyes.

All right, all right.

I see what you mean.

Lower your head.

- Did you see who it was?
- Uh, I couldn't tell.

Let's move deeper into the bush.

We'll be all right if we
don't give 'em a clear shot.

Lyla! Some food for our guests.

Don't do this, Nemis.
It can only end badly for you.

It'll end badly, all right.
But for Hercules, not me.

- He's done nothing to you!
- He killed my brother!

And a day doesn't pass that
I don't dream of revenge!

Maybe-- maybe when
he's dead by my hand,

you'll see me in a different light.

You're fooling yourself.
I could never care for you not that way.

You loved me once long ago.

You mistake a child's
affection for something else.

You're the one that's mistaken

and the dead carcass of
Hercules will prove it to you!

Craesus.

- We'll have our fun later.
- Never, pig!

Horse, my dear, horse!

Lyla, how can yo be a part of this?
You were my friend.

Right, such a good friend that
I'm not even part of the bridal party.

I didn't think you cared.
You haven't spoken to me in two years.

So? I've made new friends.

And I don't begrudge you that.
But old friends still talk.

Is your vision any better?

I can barely distinguish
between dark and light.

- Maybe it's just temporary.
- What if it isn't?

I've dedicated my life to helping people.

How do I do that if
I'm the one that needs help?

Maybe it's time to hang up
the old sandals, hmm?

You’ve done a lot of good deeds.
Time to slow down and smell the roses.

You only go around once, you know?

Well, maybe if you're immortal, you
get a chance to go around and around.

I am not immortal at least,
I don't think so.

I guess you'll find out sooner or later.

- It's Marcus.
- What did you find?

They've rejoined forces
headed toward higher ground.

No attempt to cover their tracks.

None it's,
it's like they want us to find them.

Hercules! Over here!

The centaurs, they're out in the open,

two hundred paces up
the hill by the caves.

The caves, what are they up to?

We seem to be just
out of their range.

Not mine. Salmoneus!
I'll need your help.

What if they get lucky?

Stay behind me. How far?

- Two hundred and twenty paces.
- What're you doing?

He can't see!

Now, where were we?

- Is my direction right?
- Yeah.

How did we do?

Ah, ten paces to the left and
they've moved ten paces to the right.

Ah-ah-ah-ah! Hercules!

We better get out of here!

They're about to dislodge a
boulder the size of Mt. Olympus!

Tell me how close my last arrow was,
then run for the woods.

- It's heading straight for us!
- How close?

Three paces left!

Marcus, get back!

- Who?
- Tiron, he saved Marcus' life.

- And mine.
- Ah!

My leg!

Centaurs.

One's dead and the others are gone!

Well, at least that cuts the odds.
Marcus, you can't do any good here.

- Salmoneus'll have to take you back.
- And leave you?

You can't fight them alone!

It will be dark in a few hours.
Then we'll be on equal ground.

It's suicide if you stay here! Come
back with us, we'll get more recruits!

No, I should've realized it before
this is between Nemis and me.

- Hercules, you can't!
- This is my fight!

But first I must give a brave
soldier a proper burial.

Rest easy, Tiron.
You were never a coward.

I know you're there, Nemis!
What are you waiting for?

Show yourself, Nemis.
Or are you afraid?

I'm not afraid, nor am I Nemis.

So, he sent you to do his dirty work.

- Yes, but I'm refusing.
- Why would you do that?

You're not my enemy.
Even if you were,

I wouldn't take
advantage of your blindness.

- How do you know I'm blind?
- I told him.

You'll be glad to know it's a
temporary condition providing,

of course, you can make it
through the next few days.

You won't fight against me.
Will you fight with me?

Not against Nemis. He raised me.

I respect that and
your refusal to take sides.

- But will Nemis?
- It doesn't matter.

We're leaving this land. Maybe the
Athenians will be more hospitable.

Hide Hercules till your sight returns.
You're no match for him, now.

I'm afraid there're two women
who wouldn't appreciate the wait.

Forget them, and worry about yourself.
Hera has given Nemis a special club.

Hera... I should've guessed.

The sounds of the bats
they're from the cave.

You're very perceptive.

They'll return an hour before dawn.

Hercules?
I'm sorry one of you has to die.

Nemis wasn't always bad.
Life... death... wore him down.

Nemis? Please? Let us go.

And I promise,
no harm will come to you.

Sweet Penelope, I think I'm the only one
here in position to make promises.

And I promise you by the end of
the day, Hercules will be dead.

And you?

Mmm... will start learning
to like my stew.

What am I doing here?

Hercules.

Penelope, show me where you're tied.

What's wrong? Can't you see?

No, hurry! There's no time to waste!

Uh, uh, the, the key.
It's on the beam, by Sharos.

Uh... six...
maybe seven paces to the right.

- Here, above my head.
- Hurry, please!

Leaving so soon?

Let the women go, Nemis.

- It's me you want.
- Wrong!

- I want you and Penelope.
- Help!

Quick! Undo the chains!

And I'm in no hurry. I want both
pleasures to be slow and gratifying.

What is that stench?

- Dog meat?
- Why doesn't anyone like my cooking?

Where are the keys?

I can't undo it!

It's opening!

Pull!

Get my ankle!

No fire... no light.
Now you have the same problem I do.

Except your darkness is
about to become permanent.

Leave me! Save yourself!

I'm not leaving without you!

Hercules!

Please!

Noooooo! Nooooooooo! Nemis!

You killed me.

Save me!

Go! Help Penelope! Help Penelope!

Hercules. I couldn't undo it!

This one's got two!
Oh, Hercules, break it!

Run! Get out!

Go, save yourself! Go! Penelope!

I was worried you wouldn't make it.

- Salmoneus?
- Ah!

You were the decoy.

I'm sending you my tailoring bill.

When Marcus wouldn't
let me take him back

I thought it was
the least I could do.

You did well.

Everybody did even Nemis.
He really loved you, Penelope.

I know. I'm just sorry love
took him so far astray.

When a soldier dies bravely his sword
becomes the symbol of his courage.

- I know he'd want you to have it.
- Thank you.

Thank you, Hercules, for everything.

It turned out to be a very nice
ceremony. I wish you both the best.

- Please come back soon.
- You made out quite well, I understand.

Well, I don't wanna brag, but,

uh, I got great odds on
you against the centaurs.

- Nobody had faith in you like I did.
- Hmm... may I see?

Um, OK?
But, uh, don't drop anything.

Did I ever finish explaining about
the custom in these parts?

Uh, uh, uh, wha- wha-
what custom is that?

The bride and groom
collect all gambling winnings.

- Hercules!
- Come on, Salmoneus.

Th-- that's my money back there!

Yes, that was very generous of you.

Generous? Yeah,
but that, but that, but that-- !

And smart they'll never forget you.

Really? That's nice!
