All language subtitles for Hercules S03E02 - Doomsday1

(SIZZLING)

Dad! Dad!

Dad!

Help me!

Dad!

Icarus, no!

(GASPING)

(MOANS)

How could I have
done such a thing?

(SOBBING)

(YELLS IN ANGER)

How can we
repay you?

Without your help,
we could never
have finished

before the floods.

I only made
a suggestion.

Your people are doing
most of the work.

MAN: Hey,
thanks, Hercules.

My pleasure.

(GRUNTS)
Thank you.

This is quite a feat.
But not exactly
the stuff of legends.

I'm sorry, I don't believe
I've had the pleasure.

I'm Katrina of Katea.

I suppose
I'm famous, too,
in my own way.

What way is that?

You don't recognize
my by-line?

By-line?
I'm a scribe.

I go to where
things are happening,
and I write about them.

So you write about
what other people do.

Essentially.

But you don't do
anything yourself.

Well, I...
I investigate.

I ask questions.
I interview people.

And you get
paid for that?

Yeah.
Huh.

I heard that the
great Hercules was
re-routing a river,

so I came to
check it out.

Looks Like another
case of the myth
outweighing the man.

People do tend
to exaggerate.

Yeah, Like
the tale of you killing
a giant sea monster

with your
bare hands.

That's a little
hard to swallow.

Well, actually,
that one's true.

And it was pretty
easy for him
to swallow me.

Okay. But that yarn about
the two-headed Hydra.

I mean, come on.
That one
they got wrong.

There you go.
It had three heads.

See? That's
a perfect example.

That kind of misinformation
never would've happened

if I'd been
chronicling the battle.

So people really want
to read your stories?

Of course.

Some... A few.

But the point is,
they have a right to know.

Maybe.

You know,

I'm on motorway Euboea
to meet an inventor
named Daedalus.

I was told
you know him.

Yeah, he's a...
He's a good
friend of mine.

I haven't seen him
in ages, though.

What's he Like?

Oh, he's probably
the smartest man I know.

That's it?

It's going to be
a very short story.

Come on, come on,
tell me something
I don't know.

All right. Uh...

He's a terrific father.
His son's name is Icarus.

Was.
What do you mean?

You didn't hear?

Icarus is dead.

Daedalus killed him.

NARRATOR:
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
his wicked stepmother, Hera,

the all-powerful
queen of the gods.

But wherever there was evil,

wherever an innocent
would suffer,

there would be Hercules.

(SCREECHING)

(GROWLING)

(ROARING)

(ALL CHEERING)

See? If there were
more scribes
in the world,

you'd have gotten
the news a lot sooner.

When did
this happen?

Six months ago.

They say Daedalus
was using Icarus to
test a flying device,

and something
went wrong.

So Daedalus didn't
actually kill him.

No. But according
to my sources,
it was his fault.

(SIGHS)

Are these sources
sure he's still
living in Euboea?

Yes. Why?

Because you're going
to have company
on your trip.

Oh, that'll be fun!

I may regret this.

Let me ask
you something.

What's it Like to have
a father who’s the most
powerful of fall the gods?

I thought I had
already answered
all your questions.

Oh, I'm just
getting warmed up.
Wonderful.

Now then, rumor has it
you and Zeus
don't get along.

Let’s just say we stay
out of each other's way
as much as possible.

What about your
step-mother?

Hera? We get in
each other's way
as much as possible.

Because she killed
your wife and children?

WOMAN:
Hurry before
they find us.

You ask too
many questions.

Sorry.
It's my job,
remember?

WOMAN: This way!

Wait, wait.
What's, uh...
What's going on?

Back there...
Soldiers, taking
our village.

You stay here.
Okay.

Not.

Come on,
get in there!

Light it up!
Light it up!

All right.
Clear, clear!

Fire!

(WOMAN SCREAMS)

(GASPS)

It's pillage time!

WOMAN:
They’ll burn us
to the ground!

MAN: Here comes
another one!

(GRUNTS)

MAN: Hercules saved us!

You threw that
better than Atlas.

This isn't a time
for small talk.

But then, he's more
into lifting weights.

Or shrugging.
That sort of thing.

(YELLS)

(GROANS)

Mightier than
the sword.

Don’t judge a book
by its cover.

(SCREAMS)

(GROANS)

(SCREAMING)

SOLDIER:
All right, you...

Please don't kill me!

Who's crossbow
is this?
Uh, uh, uh...

I think you
better tell him.

He doesn't Look
too happy.

Daedalus,
he's the one.

A toast to Daedalus.

The man whose
inventions will help

protect the realm
from our enemies.

To Daedalus.

ALL:
To Daedalus!
Daedalus!

Uh, if you'll
excuse me,
King Nikolos,

I have work to do.

I thought
you'd finished.

Oh, the first Megalith
is almost ready to test,

and if you’d Like me
to stop there...

No, no.

By all means, please,
return to the Lab.

Thank you.

Keep an eye
on him, Perdix.

We've come too far
for him to have
a change of heart now.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Oh, and, uh,
see if you can't
speed up the process.

Because once this
weapon is finished,

even the great Hercules
won't be able
to stop me this time.

(CHUCKLING)

Cheers.

GATE GUARD:
I don't think we’ll
have any more trouble.

But just to make sure,
stay on the Lookout.

Don't let
anybody through.

KATRINA: Why would
Daedalus build a weapon
Like that crossbow?

HERCULES:
I intend to find out.

It's certainly not
the Daedalus I knew.

But you knew
he was capable of it.
You said he was smart.

I'm still not sure
that he built it.

Maybe that
soldier Lied.

If Daedalus didn't,
then who?

I know.
Let me do
the talking.

I'm just here to
observe and report.

You won't hear
a peep out of me.
Be a nice change.

Where do you think
you're going?

I'm here to see Daedalus.
He's a friend of mine.

The inventor.

Builds giant crossbows,
things Like that.

Sound familiar?
Katrina.

Well, come on, fellas,
you're not fooling anyone.

We know
he lives here.

No one enters without
the King's permission.

You obviously don't know
who you're talking to.

It's all right.
We’ll be right back.

It is not all right.
They have no right
to treat us Like this.

I have come
all the way
from Katea, and...

Hey, don't pull
so hard!

Why didn't you
teach those
cretins a lesson?

Because they're
not from Crete.
Oh.

I know there are only
four at the gate.
But I know Nikolos.

There'll be
a hundred more inside.

I've heard stories of you
defeating twice as many.

(SIGHS)
That's not the point.

I don't want anyone
to get hurt needlessly.

What kind of a story
would that make?

Now what are
you doing?

(SIGHS)

Going over the wall,
if it's any
concern of yours.

With that rope?

Yes. Now, just stay put
and I'LL be right back.

GUARD 1:
When's our shift over?

GUARD 2:
Oh, I don't know.

But my feet hurt!

Hey!

Huh?
Huh?

(BOTH SCREAMING)

Going up.

Going down.

Ow.

No, no, no,
use circular
movements...

Circular.

Hurry up with that.

The King's anxious
to see the Megalith
in action.

Give it to me!

Fool! Don't you know
how dangerous
those compounds are?

Be careful!

(SCREAMS)

Didn't I tell you
to wait for me?

That was you?

You meet so many people
in my line of work.

Look, I...
I can't help it.

I smell a story,
I follow my nose.

All right.

But stay close to me.
I don't want you
out of my sight.

Right.

Right.

(COUGHING)

Daedalus!
Are you all right?

Hercules!
What happened?

No, uh...
It’s just a small
chemical fire.

It's nothing
my assistants
can't handle.

What are you
doing in Euboea?

I heard about Icarus.
I'm sorry.

Oh. Thank you, I...

If there’s anything
I can do...

I'm Katrina of Katea.

I was wondering
if you'd Like to make

a statement
about your crossbow.

Katrina,
this isn't the time.

I'm practicing my craft,
if you don't mind.

What is she
talking about?

On our way here,
we saw a giant crossbow.

A soldier said
you made it.

So?

I'm chief inventor
to King Nikolos.
That's my job.

The same King Nikolos
that massacred hundreds
at the fields of Danlos?

Katrina, don't...

Excuse me,
I have a job
to do here.

Look, that war
ended years ago.

So you don't deny
building the weapon?

Why should I?

Aren't you aware
how your crossbow's
being used?

Daedalus,
there was a time

you wouldn't design
a knife for fear it
might cut someone.

What's that
supposed to mean?

It means you're
designing giant
crossbows to kill people.

It is not
my crossbow,
young lady.

It belongs
to the King.

My job is to invent,
not to pass judgment.

Good to see you again,
Hercules.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have work to do.

(KATRINA SIGHS)

I can't believe
you were so
protective of him.

I...

She is really
starting to bug me.

(MIMICS BOMB DROPPING)

(MIMICS EXPLOSION)

(LAUGHING)

Your Highness,
I just saw Hercules
outside Daedalus' Lab.

Hercules, here?
In my city?

Is the Megalith ready?

Yes, Your Highness.

Good.

Because the next time
I fight Hercules,

he’ll be the one
that won't stand a chance.

(LAUGHING)

KATRINA:
I think your pal Daedalus
has Lost his conscience.

You don't know him
well enough
to make that judgment.

He admitted building
the crossbow.

He Lost his only son.

I'm sure you can
really appreciate
what that did to him.

That doesn't give him
the right to build weapons
of mass destruction.

No, it doesn't.

But it does
give him the right

to be treated with
a little courtesy
and respect,

not interrogated Like
some common criminal.

Okay, maybe
I was a little
out of line,

but his evasiveness
irritated me.

You put him
on the defensive.

Yeah, maybe
he's got something
to be defensive about.

Maybe.

Or maybe Nikolos
has taken advantage
of his grief.

Well, whether
that's true or not,

Nikolos is even
more dangerous,

now that he has
Daedalus' invention.

You should have
killed him at
the Battle of Plataea.

I don't believe
in killing
unless I have to.

Nikolos was defeated

and his army scattered
with the wind.

Afterthat,
he just disappeared.

And now he's back,
and he's become
a problem again.

If I set myself
up as executioner,

then I'm no better
than he is.

I'm going to go
speak to Daedalus alone.

I'LL go with you.
Alone means alone.

His Majesty,
King Nikolos,

would Like Hercules
to join him at the palace.

It's a request,
not an order.

In that case,
lead the way.

The invitation
is for Hercules alone.

I know.
Alone means alone.

Hercules.

Nikolos.

So, what brings you
to our peaceful
little kingdom?

There are villagers
a half a day's
march from here

who would question
its peacefulness.

Those people are rebels.

I have a right
to defend my borders.

But not to wipe out
entire villages.

Those rebels are
helpless farmers,
not soldiers.

(CHUCKLING)

For the threat
of annihilation to work,

one must occasionally
make good on those threats.

You know,

that's exactly the kind
of attitude that got you
exiled to Lexos.

Are you
threatening me?

Call it what you Like.

But don't get any ideas
about returning
to your former power.

Especially when you recruit
friends of mine to help.

You've got it wrong.

Daedalus came to me
with his plans,

begging me for
funds and equipment.

I merely provided them.

When he puts
his grief behind him,

he’ll realize
what you're doing,

and you won't be able
to use him anymore.

I think our little
reunion is over.

This should be
interesting.

Perdix,

see what our friend
Daedalus is doing.

Bring him to me.

Now.

Daedalus,
remember me?

I'm Katrina,
Hercules' friend.

I'd Like to ask you
a few more questions.

I've said all
I have to say.

I'd Like to get
your side of the story.

About your
son's death.

Oh...
Really.

I know I'm prying,

and I know
it's personal
and painful,

but people are saying
his death was your fault.

Don't you want
an opportunity
to respond to that?

You're right,
it is personal,

and very painful.

And you are prying.

Guards!

Away with you.
All right.

You may regret this.

Hey!

DAEDALUS:
Prepare the experiment.

That's it, that's it.
Move it over here.

Carefully, carefully!
In position.

The crystals must be
aligned exactly.

Exactly. There.

Try it now!

Oh!

Oh, that's...
That's still
not right.

Do it again!

Uh-oh.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Go away.

Daedalus,
it's me,
Hercules.

What do you
want from me?

I want to know
what you're doing
here with Nikolos.

I had no place
else to go, Hercules.

He took me in
and gave me everything
I needed for my work.

And in return,

you supply him
with all the deadly
weapons he wants.

I help him protect
Euboea's citizens.

I know this man,
Daedalus.

He doesn't care about
protecting civilians.

I saw the bodies
he left behind

when he ransacked
Danlos and Plataea.

Ah, that was long ago.
People change.

Not his kind of people.

I saw his men
use your crossbow
against helpless farmers.

No. No,

Nikolos wouldn't
have attacked
those renegades

unless they posed
a threat to our security.

You're letting your grief
blind you to the truth.

(ANGRILY)
What would you know
about my grief?

I'm sorry, Hercules.

(SIGHS)

Apology accepted.

Daedalus,

I know this is
a hard time for you.

But creating pain
and suffering for others

isn't going to bring
Icarus back.

What would you
have me do?

If I don't keep busy,
I'LL go out of my mind.

I can't be held
responsible

if someone misuses
one of my creations.

Can't you?

Why can't people
just leave me alone
to do my work?

Because what we do,
whatever it is,

affects everyone
around us.

Is this how you
want to honor
Icarus'memory?

By building weapons
of destruction?

You ever considered
using a depilatory?

I hope you're not
considering
keeping me prisoner.

I have some very
powerful friends
in very high places.

Prisoner?
On the contrary.

You're an honored guest.

I am?
Of course.

It's not often
we have scribes
in our kingdom.

You don't strike me
as the type who'd
appreciate a free press.

Can I really go
when I want?

Certainly.

However,

it might be in
your best interest
if you stayed.

Why is that?

Why, you'd have
the opportunity

to witness history
in the making.

An event that would live
for a hundred centuries.

I'm listening.

Daedalus has supplied me

with the ultimate
military weapon,

which I'm about
to demonstrate.

You'd have
an exclusive
on the story.

Interested?

What is that stuff?

Boiled sea serpent.

Put hairs
on your chest.

Not that
you need any,
of course.

But you should see
the way it worked

for one of
the guards
around here.

Do I know you?

Sure, I do.
It's Falafel.

What's...
What's with
the beard?

Please. I owe people
money for a taco franchise.

Hey, I have a special.

Eyes and fries.

For you,
a dinar 95.

No, thanks.
I'm looking
for a girl.

(CHUCKLES)
Aren't we all?

No, it's not
Like that.

She's...
She's about this tall.

Asks a lot of questions.

(LOUD THUDDING)

(GASPS)

Uh... Good luck!

(PEOPLE SHOUTING)

(YELLS)

(PERDIX LAUGHING)

PERDIX:
I'm gonna squash you
Like a bug, Hercules.

No!

Shouldn't you
be taking notes?

Stop it, please!
Why?

With Daedalus'Megalith,

I'LL get back
everything Hercules
forced me to give up.

I'LL be unstoppable!

And you can
quote me on that.

(GRUNTS)

(PERDIX LAUGHS)

Ow!

Please, call him off!

I thought your job was
to report to the world
what happens here.

But he's killing Hercules!

(BUBBLING)

(CHUCKLING)

(SCREAMING)

(PERDIX GROANING)

What's the matter, Nikolos?

Things didn't work out
Like you hoped?

I'm not finished
with you yet, Hercules.

I swear,

I'LL have my revenge.

(GRUNTING)

Huh?

You've got about
three seconds
to get out of there,

or you'll become
a permanent part
of that thing.

(EXCLAIMING IN FEAR)

Out of my way!

That was great!

Ooh, you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Nikolos has an odd
sense of hospitality.

Yeah, we better
get out of here.

Why? It's such
a fun town.

I should take
a Look at that cut.

Think I'LL live?

How can you joke?

I've never been
so scared in my Life.

My heart is
still pounding.

Weren't you afraid?

Sure.

But a little fear
is healthy.

It keeps you from
underestimating
your opponent.

Can I quote you
on that?

Don't you ever stop?

Well...

You! You told me
the Megalith
was invincible,

yet Hercules
just defeated it.

You used it
against Hercules?

Can you think
of a better
test for it?

You told me
you wanted it
to protect Euboea.

Hercules is my friend.
He'll think I betrayed him.

Old man, I don't care
what Hercules thinks.

But your next machine
better not fail.

Oh, no.
There won't be
a next one.

I'm going to
dismantle it
right now.

(SNAPS FINGER)

Nobody quits on me.

King Nikolos,
please...

You were
on your last legs
when I found you.

Living on the streets,
practically suicidal.

I took you in,
fed you,

put a roof
over your head,
gave you a Lab.

And this is how
you repay me?

I'm begging you.

No,

I'm telling you.

If you want to get out
of Euboea alive,

you finish the job
I hired you for.

You're in no condition
to go anywhere.

Daedalus
needs my help.

Nikolos has him
so confused,

he's not
thinking straight.

You go back there,
Nikolos will just try
and kill you again.

I'm more concerned
about Daedalus.

You ever stop to think

if you'd killed Nikolos
when you had the chance,

none of this
would have happened?

Maybe.

But that's not
who I am.

Oh, that's great!

Wait, wait!
Oh, wait, wait,
wait for me!

What?

Icarus,

I'm sorry.

Somehow,
I'LL put things right.

I promise.

Out of my way!

What are you doing?
(LAUGHING)

Don't!

Forget him.
Get the Megalith
out of here.

Halley, over there!
Yes, Perdix.

GUARD:
Daedalus is a traitor!
Move, move!

Let it burn!

GUARD: Don't mess
with us, old man.

WOMAN: The lab's on fire!

MAN: The lab's on fire!

HERCULES: Katrina...

Just...
(GRUNT IN FRUSTRATION)

Daedalus!

Guards, get him.

(SCREAMING)

PERDIX: Halley, no!

(SCREAMING)

(SCREAMING IN THE DISTANCE)

Hey, what's that?

(CONTINUES SCREAMING)

Halley.

Again?

Go! Run!

Run!

After Icarus died,
all my...

All my ideas
were born out
of rage and pain.

You felt responsible
for his death?

I could have
stopped it.

There were two
sets of wings.
One for each of us.

You and Icarus
went flying together?

Eh... Eh...

I still remember
the first time.

He was so scared.

And by the end,
he was sorry.

He could never
get enough.

The day he died, he...

He came into my workroom
as I was struggling
with a new invention.

He wanted me to go
flying with him.

"Later," I said.

After awhile,

I noticed
how quiet it was.

I went to Look
for him.

I...

I heard a voice

far up in the clouds.

It was Icarus,

crying out for me.

I had warned him
against flying
too close to the sun.

There was nothing
I could do

except watch him fall.

Or I could have
gone with him,

instead of being so busy
with all my inventions.

You can't
change the past.

All you can do is
be the man that
Icarus knew and loved.

I'm not sure
if I can or not.

But I do know
it's long past time
I started trying.

What's that?

(CHUCKLES)

One of the toys
I made for him.

Oh, it's gooey!

It's incredible.

(CHUCKLES) Looks Like fun.

Yeah, it's addicting.

What do you
call this stuff?

Oh, it doesn't
have a name. It's...

It's just a silly
little thing I made

out of nuts
and mud and oil.

What do you say
we put the silly,
nutty thing away,

and we go tell Nikolos
that you're through
working for him?

I'd Like that very much.

How badly damaged
is it, Perdix?

It looks Like
we salvaged

all the essential
parts, My Lord.

Good.

I want to see it
for myself.

(PEOPLE EXCLAIMING IN FEAR)

Shall I climb in
and ready
the machine, My Lord?

No. As King,

I want the honor
and glory of killing
Hercules myself.

I'm going
to roast him
Like a pig.

(LAUGHING)

Be quiet!

Hercules, you should know
there is another Megalith
I was working on.

There's another one
of those things?

Unfortunately.

And it's more powerful
and less vulnerable
than the first.

That's why I went
back to the Lab,
to destroy it.

Let's hope
you succeeded.

Well, I can't tell,
with all the smoke.

I wasn't sure
if the fire
got to it.

Well then,
we better make sure.

Hercules is right.

If it didn't burn up,

it’ll be the most
powerful weapon
the world has ever seen.

And this time,
it won't be
so easy to destroy.

Easy?

Look, you two
better stay here

while I go back
to the Lab
and check it out.

But if the weapon
wasn't destroyed...

That's why I want
you to stay here.

You think you can
do that this time?

Thank you.

Ah-ah!

Are you sure you
won't be needing
any help, My Lord?

Just bring
a broom, Perdix,

because the next time
you see Hercules,

there won't be
anything left
but ashes!

(LAUGHING)

Daedalus,
those questions
I was asking you...

Oh, you were
right to ask them.

It's the mark
of good scribe.

Still, I could have...

Should have been
more sensitive.

Then that would
have made you
a great scribe.

I meant to tell you,

I'm sorry about
your son Icarus.

Truly sorry.

Thank you.

I tried to raise him
as best as I could.

But after his
mother died...

You never remarried?

Perhaps I should've.

He was a wild,
headstrong boy,

and I was always busy
with all my inventions.

If he'd had
a mother...

You did the best
you could.

Sometimes the gods
smile on us.

Sometimes.

I wish I'd died
instead of him.

Don't say that.

You still have
the capacity to do
good in this world.

Maybe.

How long has he
been gone now?

Ah, not that long.

Feels Like
an eternity.

There's a story happening,
and I'm not there.

He wants you
out of danger.

Yeah, while he puts
himself in danger.

Because of my
shortcomings.

It's not all
your fault.

Nikolos had
a little to
do with it.

It's still my
responsibility.

I invented
that weapon.

I should be there
with Hercules.

Me, too.

He told us to stay.

I haven't
listened to him yet.

(RUMBLING)

Hercules!

WOMAN:
It's another
Megalith!

MAN: Let's get
out of here.

Once you defeated me.

Now I will enjoy
watching you suffer.

Welcome back to Euboea.

Too bad this day
can't be longer.

(LAUGHING)

Oh, yeah,
Like this'll
protect me.

Oh... Bad idea.

(PEOPLE GASP)

(LAUGHING)

Where are you going?
It's time to play.

Great.

(LAUGHS)

(GRUNTS)

That's what
you’ll Look Like

when I'm through
with you, Hercules.

(LAUGHING)

I don't think so.

You might as well
stay and fight.

I'LL burn the
whole city down,
if I have to.

But I'LL get you.

(LAUGHING)

(GRUNTS)

Uh-oh.

No! No!

You leave him alone!

I'LL deal with
you two Later.

You okay?

Can I get
a quote Later?

Much Later.

HERCULES: Let's see
what this silly,
nutty thing can do.

Start to fry, big man.

(GROANING)

(NIKOLOS SCREAMING)

(GRUNTING)

Hercules.

I... I thought it
would have lasted
Ionger than that.

Sorry.

Let's get
out of here.

Daedalus, you didn't
build any more
of these things, did you?

Well, that should be
the last of it.

How will I
ever make up

for all the grief
my inventions
have caused people?

By going back
and doing what you've
always done best.

Inventing things
that help mankind.

That's a story
I'd Like to write.

I'LL try my best.

I can't think
of a better way to
honor Icarus's memory.

Farewell, Hercules.

And thank you.

Farewell, Daedalus.

Thank you.
Scribe, farewell.

Hercules,

I had you wrong.

You are
a living legend,

and a hero
in the true sense
of the word.

I just try to help
people the best I can.

Yeah, well,
I can't imagine anyone
doing a better job.

And you've given me
more material than
I'd ever hoped for.

Really?
Maybe you should
write a book.

A book.

What a novel idea.

(CHUCKLES)
There you go.

Of course, I'd have
to change the names,
cut it down a lot.

Maybe lose some
of the more
outrageous stuff.

Why is that?

This'd definitely
have to be
fictionalized.

Who would believe it?

Yeah. (CHUCKLES)
