All language subtitles for Hercules S03E19 - The End of the Beginning1

(QUIET CHATTERING)

It's closing time.
The Quallus Collection will
reopen for viewing tomorrow.

WOMAN: How lifelike.
You can practically
hear him breathe.

Don't you understand Greek?

Uh? Oh!

Come back and ogle tomorrow.

GUARD: Come on. Come on.

(EXHALING) No...

Okay, let's lock 'er up.

Yeah. Yeah.

(LAUGHING)

Oh, one of these days
they're going to erect
a statue to you, Autolycus.

(SNEEZES)

Ooh, that mercury dust.
(COUGHING)

Good work.

Thanks, Hercules.
That would've
taken us all day.

Well, the day
is still young, Hemnor.

That old well looks Like
it could use some fixing.

Uh, we're a bit
superstitious about that.

A few years back
a little tyke named
Mardus fell in, and...

Well, it was
a real tragedy.

We’ve just left it
as sort of a shrine to him.

Too bad Serena wasn’t here
when that happened.

Her healing touch
might have saved the boy.

Hercules, you and Serena
lived here such a short while.

It's not that we don't
appreciate the new bridge,
the canal,

all you've done for us,
but you owe us nothing.

Cyrenia was our home.
We were...
We were happy here.

And we'll always Look forward
to your visits as a friend,
not a laborer.

Yeah.

(GRUNTING)

(SIZZLING)
Ooh!

(GRUNTING)

No more wasted time
slaving over hot cauldrons.

The Falafel-of-meter
measures the exact
boiling time of eggs.

Ah, my friend!

Why don't you just
cook them until
they're done?

(ALL LAUGHING)

Watch.

Precision timing.

(GRUNTING)

Come to Papa.

Hey! Chicken man!

I'LL take mine
barbecue style!

(LAUGHS) Sorry.

These are egg-laying chickens.

Yeah?

Now they’re
eating chickens!

So start plucking!

You know, that's
not very polite.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Allow me to turn you
into an omelet.

Why do people
have to be Like this?

(SPITS)

We don't have
a statue of Hermes.

Guards!

(LAUGHS)

Ah!
GUARD: A thief!

He has the crystal!
Really? Huh?

Oh, no, no, no, gentlemen.
Wait, wait, I know
what you're thinking.

And, uh, you're right.
Your security system
failed at our test.

Uh-huh. I'm with
"Autolycus Alarm..."

Protection without measure
for all kinds of treasure.

I'LL measure you
for a coffin!

GUARD: Grab him! Come on!
(LAUGHS)

Whoa!
GUARD: You can do it!

Stop!
(GEM WHISTLES)

This is really weird.

I already shaved, thanks.

(LAUGHING)

You must be much more than
the precious little gemstone
I thought you were.

Ooh, what's this?

Instructions.

This should be fun.

Couldn't be in better hands
than the King of Thieves.

Now, don't frown.
You'll get wrinkles.

Ha!

Someone has stopped time.

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)

Well, even the gods
can't interfere with time.

I wonder who’s behind this.

I'm sure it's not you.

AUTOLYCUS: Okay, let's see.
"Frozen time.

"Time travel. Selective
temporal manipulations."

A-ha! Now, that's the ticket.

Autolycus?

Why am I not surprised?

Okay.

I'm concentrating,
channeling my thoughts.

Unfreeze and let's...

(HORSE NEIGHS)

It's gonna take
some practice.

(GROANS)

(CHUCKLES)

Not even real gold.
Hardly worth my attention.

Nothing in this poor village
for the King of Thieves.

I gotta get
to Midas's kingdom.

Hercules?

This little gem is even
more powerful than I imagined!

Oh, all those years
admiring it from afar,
never knowing its true nature.

Hmm! Who'd have
thought this simple...

(SNEEZES)

Bless you.
Thank you.

As I was saying... Hey!

Hello, Autolycus.
(RUEFUL CHUCKLE)

I can't believe I fell for
that old trick. I invented it.

So? That's why
everything is frozen.

That's the Chronos Stone.

You better hand it over.

It was never meant
for mere mortal hands.

Not so fast. I may be mortal,
but I'm hardly mere.

Aah! Oh!
(LAUGHS)

Autolycus!
(SHOUTING)

Nothing personal, Herc.
I know you can handle 'em.

Just a little something
to keep your hands busy
and away from my stone.

Get his feet!
Hah! The possibilities
boggle the mind.

(GRUNTING)

(YELLING)

(LAUGHS) Oh, time
on your hands, eh?

Not anymore.
I'LL fix that.

Ah, just imagine.

I'LL travel through
different eras, pulling off
historical acts of larceny.

Hey, I could get another shot
at the Quallus Collection.

You just stole it!

Nah, that's just the stone.
I'm talking about all
of the king’s jewels.

I actually tried that
once in my impetuous youth,
when Quallus was still alive.

Ah, but stealing from him
today when he's not
around to see it

just doesn't provide
the same oomph.

Hey.

I know.

(LAUGHS) I'LL go back,
and I'LL get it right
this time. That's it.

(LAUGHING)

Show me your stuff, baby.
No!

Hey!

Hercules. Where'd he go?

(BOTH GRUNTING)

(HORSE NEIGHS)

Look out!
(HORSE WHINNIES)

Oh, no.

(WHIMPERING)

Oh, my stone!

The well.

Those mountains.

We're still in Cyrenia
from the looks of it,

only earlier.

Is this the time you
were thinking about?
Yes, but so what?

We're stuck here.
The Chronos Stone is history.

Not quite.

The undamaged stone
should still exist in
this time period, right?

Of course.
All I have to do
is steal it again.

Ha! That's why
you're Hercules!

Hey, this should
be interesting.

Knowing what I know now about
Quallus's security, I won't
make the same mistakes twice.

No, let's just get the stone
and go. We don't wanna risk
interfering with the timeline.

Wait a minute.
I just thought of something.
What?

How can I steal
the Chronos Stone now

if I'm gonna steal it again
from the same place Later?

That's a good question.

It'll work out.

Now remember, no meddling with
the primal forces of nature.

All this time-paradox business
gives me a headache.

WOMAN: Mardus!
Lunch is ready.

Mardus?

What's the matter?
That name.

Hemnor said...

Help!

(WHIMPERING)

Oh! Oh! Mardus!
Are you all right?

Kids. You can't take
your eyes off them.

Oh, thank you,
whoever you are.

You're welcome.

Well, I'm impressed, Hercules.
That was very heroic.

Only one thing. What happened
to "no meddling with
the primal forces of nature"?

Okay. I was wrong.

It's hard to go
against one's nature.
But that's no excuse.

Let's try not to
make any more waves
than we have to.

(CHUCKLES)

What?
You're just a big softy.

Maybe.

All right. Just give
me till sundown.

(LAUGHS) No.
You are not going
anywhere alone.

I always work alone.

What's the matter?
Don't you trust me?

You really want me
to answer that?
No.

Look, Hercules,
I wanna get back
as bad as you.

Besides, I wanna
set things right.

The first time I went up
against Quallus

I failed because I was
young and reckless.

Now with a little seasoning,
it should be a snap.

I'm sure it will be,
but I'd feel a lot better
if we both went together.

(THUNDERING)

Strange weather
we're having.
That's not weather.

You go on ahead.
I'LL catch up
with you Later.

(WOMAN SCREAMING)

No!

(WHOOPS)

Oh, that was
a bitching light show!

Hey, remind me not
to get on Zeus's smote list.

The irony is
the Hinds did nothing
to defy Zeus.

They earned his wrath
only because he fears
the blood in their veins.

Yeah? Now they're splattered
all over the landscape!

Hey, hey.
Looks Like he
missed one.

(SOBBING)

Hey, Unc, what's up?

Just the milk of
inhuman kindness, Strife.

Watch your master.

(GASPS)

Don't be frightened.

Zeus won't expect you
in mortal form.

I'm Ares, and I'LL
protect you, Serena.

Serena.

Go now. You'll be
safe in my temple.

I'LL follow along Later. Go.

(LAUGHING)

(LAUGHING)

If only I knew then
what I know now. Ha!

(GRUNTS)
Huh?

You.

Me?

(SCOFFS)

ARES: Lovely, isn't she?

She doesn't belong here, Ares.

No. Her rotting carcass
belongs in that field
with the rest of her sisters.

But, then, you gave 'em
a decent burial.

After all,
you are Hercules.

Or are you?

A few more calluses,
an extra line or two
around the eyes.

My guess is you're the
Hercules from the very
near future. I'm surprised.

Time travel's
forbidden to full gods,
let alone half-breeds.

Relax. I'm not staying.

Oh, my. We are taken
with the little deer,
aren't we?

Let her go, Ares.
She's done you no harm.

ARES: Hmm.
It's the good she might
do that interests me.

As well you know,
the blood of a Hind
can kill a god.

I'LL be taking very good
care of my beautiful,

vulnerable,
new secret weapon.

And if Zeus finds out?

Who's gonna tell him? You?

No. You won't meddle.

And the present-day Hercules
is off trapping
the Erymanthian Boar.

So goodbye, brother.

Feel free to leave
a donation on your way out.

You're forgetting
something.

I know how things
will turn out.

I just might be looking out
for your best interests.

After all,
you are my brother.

And when Zeus
turns his fury on one,

the rest of us have
away of getting caught
in the backwash.

So you think about
your plans for her.

You think hard...

For all our sakes.

(WHIMPERING)

Ha! Here we go.
Come on.

Huh? What did I tell ya?

See? Huh?

If you had bothered
to study the plans,

you would know that there
was already a tunnel here.

All right, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa.

Let me get this straight.
You're supposed to be me
from the future?

I'm the walking,
talking proof, Junior.
Better believe it.

(SCOFFS)
And I failed this heist?

And now you’ve come back
to help me get it right?

Oh, please.

Was I ever
this pigheaded?

Well, I'LL give you this.
You're a handsome devil.

Stop doing that.
Doing what?

This, this, this!
I'm not a mirror.
I'm you, separate but equal.

Younger and sharper.
No, wilder and stupider.

At least you finally
see what's plain as
the nose on your face.

Yeah. Okay, okay.
You're me and I'm you.

Whatever. You gonna help me
get this stone or not?

Of course.
Only this time we're
gonna go past the traps

we didn't know about
last time through
this tunnel, genius.

I Like the way you think,
old man. Sure, they'll
never know what hit 'em.

Ha! The two Autolyci!
Nothing'll stop us!

(BOTH LAUGH)
GUARD: Hold it right there!

Uh-oh.

(SNIFFLING)

Why?

(GROANING)

Help!

We were hunting!
My brother got slashed
by a wild boar!

Help!

Oh, it hurts!

(GASPS)

By the gods!

It's a miracle!

How can we
ever repay you?

You said you were hunting.

What?

Golden Hinds. Horns and
hooves of pure gold.

Why would you
possibly want to kill
creatures so gentle?

I'm sorry.

If it means
that much to you,
I promise we won't.

(ROARING)

The Golden Hind!

(GASPING)

Don't even
think about it!

Now get out of here! Go!
(BOTH YELPING)

Serena... Easy.

When you calm down,
you’ll be able
to change back.

How do you
know about me?

Do you serve Ares?

Never.

You don't have to, either.

But he offered to help me,
protect me from Zeus
and men Like those.

You don't need his help!

Whose then? Yours?

I can't stay.

Not here. Not now.

But believe me,

you don't need Ares.

You have the strength
inside of you.

On your knees, scum!
Hey!

So, my not-so-secret passage
has proved an irresistible
lure yet again.

You'll show me
the way, right?

Either I'm seeing double,
or it's time to start
cutting wine with breakfast.

Uh, actually,
we're twins.

Look, the name's
Autolycus, King.
Down!

Naturally, you've
heard of me.
Us.

No. And somehow,
you don't Look
exactly identical.

(LAUGHS) That's because
my brother's lived
a hard Life, as you can see.

He's paid the price
in bad skin and...

(WHISPERING)
Premature hair loss.

You shut up, or you’re gonna
suffer premature teeth loss.
Ooh.

Your duality must prove
handy in the alibi stakes.

I salute you.
Thank you.

Thank you. You know, I'LL
never forget the time I...
Shut up!

Yeah, shut up.

No bags, so you must have
been after something small,

easy to carry.
(FARTS)

Like my new acquisition,
the Quallus crystal.

Oh, that's original.
I take it you don't
know its pedigree.

QUALLUS:
Oh, I know its history.

The more men lust to steal it,
the greater its legend grows.

Well, in that case,
why don't you let us go?

We'll gladly add
to its history.

I think not.
Guards, lock 'em up!

GUARD: Okay, let's go!
On your feet!

I'm going, I'm going.
Quit shoving.

(BOW SNAPS)
(SCREAMS)

(ROARING)

Easy, easy.

Just lie still.

(GASPING)

Now that you're
the last of your kind,

I'm afraid you're
a prize trophy for poachers.

I always had my family
to protect me.

You're gonna have to Learn
to defend yourself.

I could teach you
if you let me.

That other man said I had
the strength inside me.

True. You merely need someone
to bring that to the surface.

If he plans to stay on
and become your benefactor,
then so be it.

But if not,

I humbly offer my services.

I would decide
quickly, though.

These woods are full
of predators.

It's too bad we can't use this
against Hercules without
upsetting the other gods.

Yeah. But, uh, why
do we wanna use it
against Hercules?

Why do you think?

Well, uh... Well,
it'd be cool?

Or...

He's come back to get
the Hind's blood to use
against us in the future.

Yeah, you're right.

That wouldn't be cool.

Ah, it's a pity
I can't do unto Hercules
before he does unto us.

But I'm afraid
my hands are tied.

(GROANING)

(GRUNTING)

(CRYING OUT)

Serena.

Next time you feel the need
to share your gift of wisdom
and experience, don't!

You know, if you'd Look
before leaping, we would
not be in this mess.

It's a little more
than a mess.

In case you haven't noticed,
we're in a dungeon!

That chopping block
outside is being expanded
for two heads.

Well, it's gonna
have to be big as
a house just for yours.

Oh, you know what?
You're pathetic!
You're cynical, cautious.

What happens to me
that turns me into you?

You know, it's a wonder
I ever survived my
reckless youth

to become the master
knave that I am.

I'd hang myself if it
would just put you
out of my misery!

Hang yourself
with what, Junior?

They took our grappling hook,
our cables, all our tools.

Has your memory gone, too?
We keep extras
in a secret place.

Sheesh!

I didn't forget.
I just stopped
keeping them there

because it started
to make me limp.

Hey, someone's coming!
Throw me a line.

(FORCED LAUGHTER)

Ah, what are you two
so happy about?

Ah, well, it's the company.
You see, uh... Heh!

He's a very witty guy.

Of course, I've heard
all of his jokes before.

Yeah, but, uh, you hear
the one about the tavern?
Oh, it's a screamer!

Go ahead. Tell him.
Uh, yeah, yeah, um...

An Egyptian and a Sumerian
go into a tavern.

The Egyptian's got
a monkey on his shoulder.
(MOUTHS WORD)

He, uh...
Now!

(WHISTLES)
Whoa! What the...

All right, I got him.
Oh, no! I got him.

Oh, no!
I got him.

Give those back!

(LAUGHING)

(GASPING)

(CRYING OUT)

(PANTING)

Serena.

I thought I was dreaming.

Thank you.
(GASPS)

My touch won't hurt you.

It's okay.

(SIGHS) You're not
Like the others.

Trust me.
I'm a friend.

I sensed when
I was healing you...

We'd met before today,
but that's not possible,

is it?

No. No, we've, uh...

We've never met
before today.

Somehow, I feel if you'd
arrived sooner, my sisters
might still be alive.

I wish I had. I...

No, I'm not blaming you.

Oh, I'm grateful for
your kindness, but...

I can't explain it.

But after healing you,

feeling your anguish,

it's almost as if I now
realize I have a destiny,

a path I must follow,
wherever it leads.

You're right.

You, uh...
You do have a destiny,

and it's not my
place to stop you.

I have to go.
Ares is waiting.

Wait!

(EXHALES)

Do one thing for me.

Sleep on it tonight.

Whatever you decide
about Ares, it can
wait till tomorrow.

All right.

Tomorrow.

(GRUNTS)

Hey, are you sure this "hide
inside till everybody leaves"
gambit worked last time?

Once the guards lock up,
we'll have the whole place
to ourselves.

Yeah.

Come tomorrow. Come on!

The twins are loose!
Triple all patrols!

Yes, Sire.
I want a human net
thrown around the crystal!

I told you we should've
made the snatch
before closing!

This would've worked if
you hadn't gotten us caught
in the first place.

"This would've worked..." Ooh!
Come on!
Before we're locked in.

There they are! Get 'em!

(AUTOLYCI YODELING)

GUARDS: Come on!
Over there! There he is!

(YODELS)
Alley-oop!

(GROANING)

Are the words
"stealth, plan,

"think before you act"
in your vocabulary?

Are the words
"over the hill" in yours?

Why don't you go back
to that old has-beens home
where you came from, Pops?

All right. Okay.
That does it! Come on!
You want a piece of me? Huh?

I'LL show you
who's a has-been.
This ought to be interesting.

Ho! Hey, hey!
Pretty quick for
an old guy, huh?

I'LL drop you Like
a sack of fool’s gold.

You and whose army, Grandpa?

Huh? I'LL show you
who's a has-been.

Autolycus?
Talking to himself?

Hoo!
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Not the face, not the face.

You got a point.
(GRUNTS)

(LAUGHING)
Ooh, that's gotta hurt.

Oh, Look!

What?

I'LL show you
to mess with me,
whippersnapper!

Not the hair!

Now break it up!
Both of you, just, uh...

I've heard of being
your own worst enemy,
but this is ridiculous.

Come on now, Hercules.
Is that anyway
to treat your partner?

"Jerkules" is your partner?
Oh, what kind of Goody
Two-Shoes did you turn into?

You watch your mouth.

Oh, why? Is little
Goody Two-Shoes
embarrassed, huh?

Mr. Goody Two-Shoes
Mr. Goody Two-Shoes

Oh!

I ain't that good.

I know this is a huge shock,
Hercules, but at one time
I was actually obnoxious.

ARES: Do you have any, any
idea what Zeus would've done
to you if you'd succeeded?

Oh, come on, Unc.
You practically jammed
the arrow in my hand!

I bet you wouldn't be
all bent out of shape
if it had done its job!

It didn't! You failed!

I wouldn't have if it hadn't
been for little Miss Heal-it!

I don't know why you wanna
keep that doe-eyed bleeding
heart around anyway.

The plan was to use
the Hind's blood to keep
the other gods in line.

Well, it's a good plan.

Could still work.

Do you want
I should rope her?
Bring her in?

You know, a corral
in the dungeon'll hold her
an eon or two. (LAUGHS)

That was not my intent.

I was looking forward
to cultivating
her warrior spirit,

releasing the rage within.

I'm afraid I now know
what must be done to ensure
my future longevity.

It is the Hind
who must die.

(MUFFLED SPEECH)

Well, now we have to get
that stone and get out of
here before it's too late.

Have you got a plan?
Have I got a plan?

It's so simple,
it scares me.

Naturally, I'LL have
to do it alone.

Naturally. And what
I have to do, I have
to do alone as well.

So we'll meet
up here Later.

That's got to be
a little weird.

You have no idea.

(MOCKING TONE)

The collection will stay
closed until the twin
Autolyci are recaptured.

I expect your swords
to make the two
of them into 50.

But stay alert!
Watch every trapdoor,
every hole!

You snooze,
you lose your head!

My ears are burning.
GUARD: There he is!

Wait! There's only
one of them!
It could be a trick!

But, Sire...

The other one's gotta be
around here somewhere!
Keep searching!

Sire...
(EXHALES)

Don't be distracted!
That's what they want!

Huh?
The other one's
somewhere in this building.

Confounding, aren't I? Ha!

Whoa...

GUARD: He has the crystal!
Autolycus! You're alone!

Ah, now you've heard of me.
Let this be a lesson
to you, Quallus.

Two of me is just too much
of a good thing.

Get him!
Yeah! Come on!

Sorry, Junior,

but taking you along
would've been Like tripping
over my own four feet.

You idiot! It probably
took you twice as long.

Admit it, without me,
you're nothing.

You're a washed...
(MUFFLED)

Hercules tells me you won't
remember me when I'm gone,
so this is goodbye.

You're going to age Like
a fine wine, Autolycus.

Bon appétit!

(HUFFING)

Please, don't make
it any harder.

So you've made
your decision.

I have to follow Ares.

I have no other choice,
not now.

You're right.

(SIGHS)

Be well, Serena.

I feel we'll meet again.

I know it.

No.

(GROANS)
(STRIFE LAUGHING)

Ares!
Whoo!

(ROARING)
It's not supposed
to happen this way!

(BOTH GRUNTING)

You've only got
yourself to blame!
Messing with the timeline,

that's nasty business!

(YELLING)

This is Hind blood.
You know what it can do.

You're bluffing.
She's dying anyway!
What is the point?

It's in your power
to take the Hind,
but spare her human half.

Do it!

You'd kill me over
that pathetic creature?

She was my wife!

You happy?

The Hind is no more.

There's nothing more
for you here, Ares.

It's all right.
It's all right.

Ares won't
hurt you anymore.

It's okay. It's okay.

Look, I've...
Whoa! Hey!

Oh!

Ow! My knee!
Are you all right?

Their touch
won't hurt me?

No. They can't
hurt you anymore.

Look at that.

SERENA: Are you all right?

Autolycus,
did you get the stone?

Did you ever
have any doubts?

After all, I am the...
The King of Thieves, yes.

Why, thank you.
We better go.

There now.
You'll be fine.

All right.
Let's go play.

I couldn't heal him.

I've Lost the touch.

You made him feel better.
That in itself is
an incredible gift.

(COUGHS)
Oh, Look at the time.

You have to go,
don't you?

Uh, yeah, yeah.

I don't even
know your name.

It's Hercules.

Hercules. A strong name.

I won't forget it.

Yes, you will.

Goodbye.

Uh, come on, come on.

(GRUNTS)

(LAUGHS)

Back home again, thanks to
my handy little Chronos Stone.
Hmm.

Oh! Careful, careful!
I went to a lot of
trouble to steal that.

I'm sure you did.

Oh!
You'll always
have the memory.

You'll get over it.

Oh, that was so rude.

Oh, uh, this must
be yours, huh?

What do we say, honey?

Thank you, Mommy.

No, not me. It's the nice
man we have to thank.

Thank you, sir.
Good girl.

Why don't you go help
your daddy pack a lunch
for our picnic?

Ah! There you are!

She's shy.

She's beautiful.

She is, isn't she?

Well, thank you again.

Goodbye.

Hi.
Hi, honey.

You gave Serena
her Life back.

MAN: Are you ready
to go home?

Too bad to do it, you had
to wipe out everything the
two of you would have shared.

Yeah.

The best thing that
never happened to me.
