All language subtitles for Hercules - 02x09 - The Fire Down Below

Ah, hey.

Hey, Bigfoot.
Didn't you hear the promoter?

This is supposed to be an
exhibition. It's for charity.

You, uh, you do know
what charity, is, don't you?

- Feel the pain!
- OK, if that's the way you’re gonna be.

I like that.

Figures.

I had a feeling he
was soft in the head.

Isn't he great, folks?
Isn't he fabulous?

Hercules!
And he did it all for charity!

No, no thank you.

- No.
- Some meet, Hercules?

Maybe you'd rather
have what I've got.

- And what would that be?
- Water.

Oh... thank you.

Not much for celebrating,
are you, Hercules?

You know what they say?
'Clean body, clean mind.'

- Nobody ever says that in Orestia.
- Orestia?

Well, if that's where you're from,

you didn't need to come
here for a good time.

I was looking for you.
Your friend, Salmoneus, sent me.

- My name is Ayora.
- You don't look like

a distress signal,
so he must not be in trouble.

Far from it. He's rolling in dinars.

And he wants to share
his good fortune with you

for all the good deeds
you've done on his behalf.

Tell Salmoneus I'm, uh, not
interested. He'll understand.

Even if I promise to stay by
your side, 24 hours a day?

Ah, look, it's not that I don't
appreciate the offer, but--

- I know 'Clean body, clean mind.'
- Clean conscience.

Just out of curiosity, how did
Salmoneus strike it rich?

Oh, no. You have to come
to Orestia or find that out.

Bye, now.

Marvelous, simply marvelous,
same exquisite craftsmanship,

every piece, an original antique
and all of it in perfect condition.

I think you're gonna like it
even better, after it's sold.

Ya know something? You're right.

Foreman! Hey, foreman!

We ready to go? Huh?
The carts are filled.

The public's appetite for these
artifacts is insatiable.

We can move out as
soon as you finish talking.

A little fresh, but industrious.

Let me have another peek,
just to satisfy my aesthetic needs.

Who thought I'd behold something

almost as lovely as
the precious dinar?

Did you see that?

What caused it?

We framed the entrance
with double support beams.

Let's get out of here.

Maybe the gods are trying
to tell me something.

No, they've always been good to me.

I'm their boy! Let's move it!

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.

- Help me!
- I'll do everything I can.

It was the wind.
The wind chased me like a thief.

Don't talk. Save your strength.

I couldn't run fast enough.

So I offered everything
I had everything, except this.

Here, take it. Oh, no!

The wind won't chase you
anymore, my friend.

Fifty-three dinars? You're gonna
hafta do better than that.

Madam, the days of Salmoneus
haggling over a price are long gone.

I could letcha have it for--
I don't know,

- uh... pfff... fifty dinars?
- Forty-five.

Madam, I fear you miss the point.
See, the purpose of art

is to elevate us above the
crassness of bargaining

not to demean us the way the

give-and-take over a
mere number does.

- Forty-nine.
- Forty-five.

Forty-eight,
and don't make me haggle.

Oh, all right,
forty-eight, you big baby.

Ah, there, now.

Don't we both feel better?

Hmm? Ah,
what's wrong with this picture?

Syreeta's here.
And Ayora's here,

so it obviously can't be her.

Stop it, Salmoneus.
You're being mean.

I'm not being mean.

I'm being disappointed
that Hercules isn't here.

But Ayora thinks he may
have a change of heart.

- I never said that.
- I'm just tryin' to help you.

- You help me? That'll be the day!
- It's all right, Syreeta.

It was just like you said, Salmoneus.

If Hercules wasn't fighting evil
he'd be doing charity work.

And there he was wrestling
to raise money for war babies.

I could have shown him
some wrestling.

- He'll never learn.
- Learn what?

That money isn't a dirty word.
If he had only come here,

- I could have made him rich.
- Excuse me.

The price tag can't possibly be
correct. It says sixty dinars!

Watch a master in action.

Madam, let us talk about
the cultural value of

beautiful things such
as yourself, huh?

- Put it back.
- I just wanted to see it.

- You don't see with your hands.
- But I need to check it

for a mark that
could bring you trouble.

- Are you threatening me?
- Threatening you-- no,

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

There's no need to be rude.

We got a troublemaker here!

- Wait, this is all a misunderstanding.
- Get him!

Get me? For what?

This is really stupid.

Uh, I don't believe it.

- Where'd you get the vase?
- Huh?

That's all I wanted to know.
This fight wasn't necessary.

- Now, where'd you get the vase?
- A pushy little man

he called himself Salmoneus.

Salmoneus.

Excuse me? Next time?
Try a little communication.

- It won't hurt quite so much.
- Ah.

- This load goes to my home.
- What's Salmoneus gonna say?

He won't say anything
if he doesn't find out.

Well, I'm not keepin'
my mouth shut unless

- there's somethin' in it for me.
- You think there won't be?

I'm just tellin' ya how it is.
That's all.

You're forgetting something.

I'm the one that calls
the shots around here.

Go on!

Then you're the one I'm looking for.

I'm sorry, sweetheart. I'm busy.

- This won't take long.
- Purces, she-she--

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
OK, OK, you've had an eyeful.

Now, get moving.

Put that away.
It's not hunting season.

- Guess again.
- Ah.

- Time to dance, Purces.
- You crazy?

No, I'm curious.
I wanna know if you're man

enough to admit that you're
a thief. Get back to work!

- I'm no thief.
- That's a lie.

What's wrong with you?
Huh? I'm telling you the truth.

That's another lie.

Get this lunatic woman
away from me.

Don't even think about it.
Now, tell me the truth.

OK. OK. I-I admit it. I'm a thief!

I've been stealing chalices
and-and-and vases and

anything I could lay my hands on!

Justice has been served.

- Ow!
- Better get him, now.

Wait! There's a shoulder
attached to that arm!

Careful! Do you get
enough fiber? Listen!

This time, please don't-- ow!

Every time I come here, Zandar,
that guy does the same thing!

- It's really getting tiresome!
- What happened out there?

All I know is what I hear.
Some crazy woman with a bow

and arrow started calling
Purces a liar and a thief.

And he wound up with
a splitting headache.

Poor Purces.
He wasn't exactly 'Mr. Personality'.

But since when is being a liar
and a thief punishable by death?

Do your mourning quickly!
You're more vital to

our operation than
Purces ever was.

- You mean it?
- I'm not the type to joke around.

- No! I can see you're not!
- Your laborers have to keep hauling

artifacts out of that
cave and you,

my friend,
have to keep selling them.

Selling, I've got the concept.
But listen.

Um, this treasure of yours I'm
a little vague on how ya got it.

I mean, I was it a treasure map,
or didja find some kind of...?

Tell me, Salmoneus!
What interests you more?

Dwelling on some inconsequential
mystery or making money?

Gimme a moment,
making money, absolutely.

I knew you'd see things my way.

Whoo!

Oh. Oh, yeah. Oh.

O-Ow! Ow, careful. Careful.
Syreeta, tell her what I like.

A little lower with a
gentle rotating motion?

Yes. Yes, that's the place.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Ooh, you girls.
You're so good to me.

- I have presents!
- Oh.

Ha-ha-ha! Presents for you all.
Syreeta.

Now, the rest of you are going
to have to fend for yourselves.

Come on. The one with
the most pearls wins.

Whoa! Whoa! Hey!
Hey, not those pearls!

Oh, Salmoneus!
You're so good to us!

Remember, girls
clean living always pays!

You're so generous!

- Oh, I'm generous to a fault!
- 'Fault' is the key word.

Hercules! I'd knew you'd come.

- I knew it.
- Wait.

Uh, no. Uh... eh, thank you.

You have no idea
the amount of riches

and plenty that we're
gonna be rolling in, my friend.

Uh, that's what I wanna
talk to you about.

- Let's take a little walk.
- Why so glum?

It's time to eat, drink,
and get disgustingly rich.

- You're wrong.
- I am?

Yes. That treasure
you've been selling?

That belongs to Hera.
And if I know Hera

- she wants you dead.
- Ha-ha! Uhhh.

Salmoneus?

- Feeling better?
- You tell me.

You've really done it
this time, Salmoneus.

What I can't believe is
that you've never heard

the story of Hera's treasure.
It's a local legend.

It's been... oh,
maybe I can believe it.

All I could think about
was how much money

I was gonna make, and how
many ways I could spend it.

- But that's all I ever think about.
- Even now.

Tell me the story. I can't wait.

It happened when King Ores
was in power.

There was a rebellion against Hera,

and he wiped out every man,
woman, and child involved.

Hera, rewarded him with
the treasure you found.

Now, listen. That can't be.

My treasure was found
sealed in a cave.

- It had never been touched.
- You're right, and there's a reason.

Before Ores could get to it,
I helped to overthrow him.

Why didn't ya take the treasure?
It was right there!

Salmoneus, are you learning
anything from this?

- Sorry.
- Hera left the treasure

where it was to test
the Orestians' loyalty.

I thought the laborers
were being stupid

for being scared.
I was the stupid one, huh?

I flunked Hera's test
and now I'm dead.

Well, you're not dead.

- You're not gonna die.
- You could reverse it?

- Well...
- You would do that? You could do that?

Please? Please? Please?
Please? Please?

Salmoneus.

Just show me where you
took the treasure.

Right! Anything you want!
But I gotta tell ya!

This is the nicest thing anybody
has ever done for me.

You find a way to keep
my head on my shoulders

I'll turn over a new leaf. I swear!

Well, don't bother. You'd only
sell it to the highest bidder.

- Come here!
- Please!

Don't take my babies!
I'm begging you!

Babies? Ha-ha!

These brats are old
enough to work the fields!

I'll get twenty dinars
apiece for them.

- No!
- You're not going to do anything

except turn them loose and
apologize for being such a swine.

Well, looky here.
No telling how much

a slaver's dream like
you is gonna fetch.

- Do what I said.
- You're a bossy little thing, aren't you?

Now, let the children go.

Yeah, sure.

- I'd rather have you, anyway.
- You're fun's over.

Consider that a warning.

I'm gonna kill you!

Ow!

Next time, I'll take your ears
off! Now, get out of here!

I'm going! I'm going!
I'm going!

You're bleeding.

Curse of being human, I guess.

- Too gaudy for my taste.
- Hey, this is top-of-the-line stuff.

If you say so. How did you find it?

Strictly on the up-and-up.
A gentleman named Purces

approached me on behalf
of... uh, a third party.

And he said they had a
lead on a treasure trove.

All this was just out
of the blue, right?

Contrary to your belief,

my reputation as a
salesman precedes me.

They didn't happen to know you
were a friend of mine, did they?

Uh, uh, I might have
mentioned it once or twice.

Huh. I think I better have a
talk with your partner Purces.

You're too late. He's dead.

- What happened?
- I heard it was a scorned woman

one armed with a bow and arrow.
I'm sorry!

We're closed!

Where is she?

- What, you saw her?
- Yeah, but I don't anymore!

- Well, she's still here.
- Where?

- Oh, Hercules.
- Right over there.

- I'm over here.
- Quit playing games!

My eyes aren't that bad!

Well, she's the one
who's playing the games.

- Who she? What she?
- I-uh, an old friend.

- Hercules, don't leave me!
- You can't catch me, Hercules.

You'll be fine.

You're never gonna catch me!

That's what you think!

Think quick!

Gotcha!

Uh, ha-ha, uh... I was... oh...

you wouldn't believe me
if I told you.

I told you you couldn't
catch me, Hercules.

As you were saying?

You!

- We need to talk.
- Talk?

I thought you said
Hercules wasn't coming.

How could I know?
He turned his nose up at me.

Your head must be in a spin
knowing your charms

- aren't 100 % irresistible, hmm?
- You've turned them down.

Yes, I have this very minute.
Now, go.

Keep your ears and eyes open.
I've got a lot of work to do.

That greedy, conniving little sneak.

You're gonna kill Salmoneus
along with Hercules, aren't you?

It's my business!
Now, do what I told you!

You're awfully stern for someone

who was having such a
good time a few minutes ago.

- My friend saw you.
- Salmoneus is a friend of yours?

Yes. What do you want
with him, Nemesis?

- I haven't decided yet.
- Oh, don't give me that.

The gods make up your mind for
you. Now who sent you? Hera?

Yes.
But I've made a change in policy.

The orders of the gods
don't rule my life anymore.

Before I execute anybody,
I decide whether he deserve it.

- Since when do the gods listen to you?
- Since they've realized that

nobody's been better at dealing
out divine retribution than I am.

Nemesis, your hand?

- I didn't think you ever got hurt.
- when I take human form

which is something that I always
do when I'm seeking the truth.

You can ask your friend
Salmoneus that

if he lives through the experience.

But there's an explanation
for his involvement.

- I'll be the judge of that.
- Wait a minute!

You can't save him this time, Hercules.

Salmoneus must pay for his greed.

That was by accident, right?

Guess not.

Can't you see I'm in a hurry!

Have to do a lot better than that.

Oh, I will, Hercules, I will.

- Nemesis, don't!
- You're too late.

It won't hurt much, will it?

- Put it down, Nemesis.
- Nemesis? She's Nemesis?

He's a thief! Evidence is
everywhere. Take a look around!

Salmoneus is no thief. He's
greedy, yes, but he's no thief.

He's right. I'm greedy.
Anything for a dinar that's me.

I'm shameless, money,
hungry, and conniving.

I'll vouch for that,
and I'll tell you something else.

He couldn't have found
Hera's treasure by himself,

- I mean, not in a million years.
- Someone led him to it?

- That's right. It was Purces.
- He's dead.

Oh, right.

Salmoneus, you mentioned
earlier about a third party.

- Who is it?
- Huh? Zandar!

He's the one pulling Purces' strings!

Listen, I would never steal
from Hera or any other god.

I'm much too big a coward for that.

At the very least
you should check him out.

Come on, you said you
were seeking justice, Nemesis.

Now, here's your chance to prove it.

You're right.

Thank you. Thank you,
thank you, thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you Thank you!

Thank both of you! Oh,
how can I ever thank you!

- Thank you!
- He's been doing a lot of this lately.

Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you! Thank you!

The time is at hand, oh,
mighty Hera. They're here!

Both of 'em!
Hercules to meet his death!

Nemesis to determine
whether she lives or dies!

But I your humble servant
cannot do what you've

asked of me with mere
mortals to help me.

Already, those who call
themselves my warrriors

have failed ignobly
against Hercules.

No, if I am to succeed
to your greater glory

I need a weapon
which will not fail.

I need a true instrument
of destruction!

Oh, mighty one, give me a sign.

Pyro.

Pyro.

Yes!

Pyro!

- We've got a problem, Nemesis.
- What are you worried about now?

I'm worried about you.
When you let Salmoneus live,

you may have signed
your own death warrant.

- I can take care of myself.
- Hera is going to be furious.

You know, I have better things
to do than to listen to this.

- Hey, hey, hey! No, you don't.
- You know, it is really hard for me

to fly away when you're holding
onto my wings I mean my arms.

How do you stand being
in human form, anyway?

- It's a miracle you ever get anywhere.
- I don't always run away like you.

- I'm not going to run away.
- Promise?

Yes.

Nemesis, the gods aren't
going to let you decide

who's guilty and who's not.
That's how they amuse themselves.

- Well, too bad for them.
- It could get you killed.

Well, fear never stopped you.

Look, you worry about Salmoneus,
and I'll take care of Zandar.

Hey, you know, if I wanted
to take orders from you,

- we'd still be together.
- Well, too bad we're not.

- I'd take you flying with me.
- Nemesis, wait!

I hate it when she does that.

Oh, it's really great
having you all here.

Now, if you can just help me
take this, uh, stuff, hmm?

Back to the cave we, whoa!
It won't be that much work!

Just a-a couple days, max,
a-a-and then we can,

uh, have a party. Huh?

Party! I-i-it won't be
in this beautiful mansion,

a-and we may not
have champagne,

but it-it's not gonna
be that different.

OK? That's right.
All get up and pitch in.

- Come on, girls!
- It won't-- wa-hey! Hey! Hey!

Where you going? Hey! Hey!

It's just a temporary setback! Huh?

I... I'll be back on top!

Don't come crawling back
unless ya plan apologizing!

You're a clever man, Salmoneus.

Maybe you'll find
another way to get rich.

Y... you don't have to care about me.

I'm just...
just go on with the others.

I don't want you here. Find
some other rich guy to use, huh?

Get outta here.

Well, that's one way to
keep a woman interested.

We've got work to do, Salmoneus.

I know they only loved me
for my money but it still hurts.

And after this, there may never
be another pretty girl in my life.

At least you'll... be alive.

What do you say we
get this stuff out of here?

Well, now I know you
didn't do this by yourself.

I never get sick of this.
Come on.

Nemesis!

- The one and only.
- Don't you ever knock?

I suppose you're here to
tell me ya killed Salmoneus

the little thief.
But you're not finished yet.

Hercules is in town
and Hera wants him dead

so bad she can taste it.

The only thing she's
tasting is her own bile.

She ought to get something
to settle her stomach.

You...
you didn't kill Salmoneus, did you?

No! And I'm not gonna
kill Hercules, either.

But you, my friend
better get ready to visit Hades.

I don't think so.

This never could have
happened if you had nev--

I know! Hera told me!

- As a human, you're a mere woman.
- Swine!

By your refusal to
carry out your duties,

you have betrayed Hera!
Just as she thought you

would when she put
you to this little test!

And for your betrayal,
you'll meet the same fate

as Salmoneus and Hercules.
You will die.

I'm not cut out for manual labor.

I'm sweating like a piece
of rancid pork.

My back hurts. I'm getting blisters.

And you have no idea what
this is doing for my manicure.

Ahh! Good idea!

Ahem!

You're needling me, aren't ya?
You're tryin' to make me feel bad.

You're trying to make me
feel guilty, guilty about the--

About being so greedy
that you almost got killed?

Yeah, that sounds right.
Shall we get back to work?

- It's sweltering in there!
- Think cold.

It's worse than ever.

I'm gonna melt if I
stay here too long.

You'll be fine.

- What is this?
- It's the cellar.

Th-there's a trapdoor at
the top of the stairs.

Whoa!
I'm gonna get some water!

That's a good plan.

Ashes to ashes, Hercules.

As it was for your family
so shall it be for you.

Pyro.

It's easier to kill sleeping
women and children, isn't it, Pyro?

Ho-ho-ho, I'm going to get you.
Have no fear.

I don't fear you.

Brave talk won't save you.

I'll fry you to a crisp!

Hercules?

You all right? Hercules?

Salmoneus! Get out of here!

- You're not supposed to be here!
- Really. Hm-hmm.

- Where am I supposed to be?
- You're supposed to be d-d-d...

Let me start over.
There was a beautiful woman.

I know all about her,
you scheming pipsqueak.

She was gonna defy Hera
and kill me. She's insane!

No, actually, I think 'Charming'
is a more suitable word.

You know what she'll be
after I feed her to Pyro?

She'll be dead.

- Pyro?
- That's right.

- Is he finished with Hercules yet?
- No, sir.

- Hercules is going to finish him.
- You're betting on the wrong horse.

Oh, I never bet on
the wrong horse.

I never do that!

Oh! Oh!

How mortals stand being this
vulnerable 24 hours a day.

A little rope and
they can't go anywhere!

OK, we'll do this, the hard way!

Keep figthing and
I'll burn you limb by limb.

What's the matter?

Not having fun?

I'll torch this whole
place if I have to!

I don't die that easily, Hercules.

Hercules must be
burned to a crisp by now.

Not in your lifetime.

You'll change your mind when
you meet the same fate he did.

I guess this is what happens
when you do the right thing.

And I'm going to do the right thing.

Nice try.

The fire awaits. Let's go.

Wouldn't ya rather toast
marshmellows, instead?

Get in touch with
your inner child, huh?

- Move!
- Hold it right there, Zandar!

What?

Nemesis.

Get her!

- Come back here!
- Pyro's in there! He's tryin' to kill Hercules!

What are you doing here?
How did you escape?

Just lucky, I guess.

This is where your luck
runs out, you crazy witch.

Ha-ha! You'll never get in here!

Ya suckers!

- That's terrific!
- Thank you.

- What are you waiting for? Let's go!
- In there?

- I'll protect you.
- You promise?

Yes.

Ironic, isn't it?

You will die the
way your family did.

I'm going to barbecue you, Hercules.

- End of the road, Hercules.
- Pyro! Pyro!

- Who in Hades are you?
- Oh, you remember me.

Zandar. Hera must
have told you about me.

You're at the wrong place
at the wrong time!

No!

You want to play games, Pyro?

Try to catch me now.

Hercules, you will burn!

No! No! No! Let me out!

I need air! My flames! No!

Noooooooooooooooooooooo!

Light's out, Pyro.

I hope you don't plan
on using that thing.

Hercules!

Ah! Are you all right?

Uh, yeah. Fresh air would be nice.

Syreeta?

I don't believe it.
What are you doing here?

Are you all right?
I was worried about you.

You were? Even though I'm...
how can I put this?

Financially embarrassed?
I mean, tem-temporarily?

Don't you know
that doesn't matter?

You were always nice to me,
Salmoneus. Let me be nice to you.

Syreeta, I'm sorry I said those
things. I didn't mean them.

- Looks like another happy ending.
- For everyone except Hera.

Salmoneus, you look like
you need a bath.

- My house is full of smoke.
- Mine isn't.

Aah... Salmoneus?

Stay out of trouble.

- There's one thing missing.
- What's that?

A kiss?

I could volunteer.

It's the best way I can think
of to say good-bye, Hercules.

Where do you go from here?

To find out what comes
next in my life.

I know that feeling.
Maybe I could help.

I'll be fine on my own. All
I ask is that you remember me.

How could I ever
forget you, Nemesis?
