All language subtitles for Hercules- The Legendary Journeys - S05E10 - Let There Be Light

[ Man ]
Previously on Hercules...

I guess I'll head
back to Greece.

After all that's happened, I wonder
if it'll still feel like home.

Then stay here
with me.

We could make this
our home together.

[ Screaming ]

Who did this?

It was from
outside this world.

A thing of evil
and incarnate darkness.

Dahak?

Hercules. Boo.

I don't know where you came from,
Dahak, but you're not staying.

You may have his body,
but you're not lolaus.

Get down!

[ Demonic Voice ] I knew
you couldn't kill me.

You're still holding on,
but it's time to grow up.

It will be a whole new
day in Greece, buddy!

He's headed for Greece. So
why are we standing about?

Let's do some damage.

All right, then.

We stop Dahak together.

Or we die trying.

It has returned.

Hey, look.
I finally got something.

And you can keep the stupid
pole, you miserable fish.

Uh, little tip.

You're only supposed to toss
in the line, not the whole rod.

It's easier
to catch fish.

If the gods had intended
for people to be at sea,

they'd have
given us gills.

I can't stand another day
on this rocking horse.

Well, you see,

it helps...

if you have something
to pass the time.

I do love a man who knows
how to reel a girl in.

Uh...

Morrigan, I don't want you
to take this the wrong way,

because you're one of the best things
that's ever happened to me, but I just...

That's wonderful.

Sounds like a prelude
to a kick in the pants.

Um... Uh, no.

It's not that at all.

Dahak has got
a real head start on us,

and for all I know, Greece won't
even be there when we arrive.

What I'm saying is, we have
to be ready for anything.

And I can't help but wonder if we
picked the wrong time to get involved.

What makes you think
we picked anything?

I didn't choose
to feel this way.

Nevertheless, I do.

But you're right,
Hercules.

We've got more important things to
tend to before we can put a name...

to this fine feelin'
between us.

And if it's strong enough,
it'll last.

[ Clears Throat ]

Good morning.
Uh, get some sleep?

What do you think?

Okay.
Lovely girl.

She's got all the grace
and charm of a hatchet.

[ Hercules ] And many
other admirable qualities.

I wonder.
Dahak drove her mad.

Who knows if she's really
back to her old self?

[ Hercules ]
She may never be.

I'd still trust her
with my life.

Well, isn't this
a pleasant surprise?

Yeah, it's a little
too pleasant.

This just doesn't make any
sense. [ Woman ] Welcome, friends.

Come and join us!

Our doors are always
open to strangers.

What's the occasion? It's
the beginning of a new era.

You see, the reign of the
Olympian gods has ended,

and a glorious light
has dawned on our world.

Wait. The gods are gone? Oh,
they abandoned us not long ago.

Famine and drought nearly
brought an end to Greece.

We prayed for days,
but our prayers went unanswered.

It seemed all hope
was lost...

until one of our own sons returned
reborn to deliver us from ruin!

I'll bet he did. Oh, I
was blinded as a child,

but the God of Light blessed
me with his merciful touch.

And now,
I am once again...

able to see the world
in all its glory.

Save yourselves!
Save yourselves!

- It's Hercules!
- [ All Gasping ]

Hercules! Oh, no!
Please, don't hurt me!

- [ Woman ] Get out of here!
- I am not going to hurt you.

The day of reckoning
is at hand.

But fear not,
my children.

I will save you
from Hercules.

[ Woman ] Save us, lolaus, save us!

[ Man Narrating ] 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 ]
- [ Roaring ]

Hail!

Hercules, if you have any
goodness in your heart at all,

leave now,
before you lose control...

and claim more
innocent lives.

- Yes.
- He's lying.

You all know me. I
wouldn't hurt any of you.

That is exactly what I
told them you would say.

It's not too late.
Accept me into your heart,

and I can help you
repent of your crimes.

To what crimes would you be
referrin'? It's all right, my child.

There's no need
to continue lying.

I know everything.

I know you stood by...

while Hercules slaughtered
the gentle Druids...

who had been so good to you
in your hour of need.

Don't. The angrier we get, the
more we confirm everything he says.

They're just words.

Hercules, your contempt for the
Olympians has been no secret.

Now you have returned to destroy
them, and that is why they have fled.

Livia, you were my mother's
best friend. You know me.

I don't know
who you are anymore.

I'm just glad Alcmene isn't
here to see what you've become.

Hercules,

if you can't allow
the light into your heart,

at least allow these people
the freedom to worship in peace.

Come on.

This was round one.

[ All Jeering ]

I don't suppose this is the
homecoming you were expecting.

lolaus and I used to play
up here when we were kids.

I knew every inch
of this forest.

Now it feels like I've
never even been here before.

I don't mean to sound
callous, Hercules,

but perhaps
it's the best thing.

Like you taught me...
What's past is past,

and you're gonna have to
let it go to stop lolaus.

Stop right there.

That thing we're up
against is not lolaus.

Don't make
that mistake again.

I let you talk to me like that
'cause I know you loved him.

- But if I want your opinion, I'll ask for it.
- Here we go.

I knew lolaus.

Dahak may have
his body,

but there's no way
he has his soul.

That's a very dangerous
attitude you've got there.

See, if it comes down
to him or me,

and you pick him, well, then, our friendship
won't have much of a future, now will it?

- Okay. That's enough.
- What makes you think it has much of a future now?

All right.
I said that's enough.

We don't know for sure
what we're dealing with here.

But we can't start
doubting each other now.

Nebula, we both have to
prepare for the possibility...

that lolaus isn't the same
person we used to know.

All right.
Let's say you're right.

Do you really think you can
bring yourself to kill him?

Because I don't know
if I can.

We may not have
a choice.

- So what now?
- Now we find answers.

People must be paying a price for all their
prosperity, even if they don't know it yet.

- Why don't you see what you can find out.
- Where are you going?

Visit an old friend.

Hey, Jason.

Get away from me, Hercules.
You're not welcome here.

lolaus said you'd come
to me for help.

Well, you won't get any!
Now, go away!

Come on, Jason.
Open the door.

Whatever you heard,
it's a lie.

So where've you been? You
abandoned us, your own people!

And your hatred for the gods
finally drove you insane!

If I'm insane, why am I standing
out here trying to reason with you?

Why haven't I just
broken the door down?

Come on, Jason.

I'm the same person
you grew up with.

I'm the same person who
watched you marry my mother.

And I'm the same person...

who's always had the privilege
of calling you my friend.

[ Lock Rattles ]

Please stop! You don't understand!
You don't know what you're doing!

These are works of
literature! Who cares?

This is the future!
This is knowledge!

True knowledge comes only
from the God of Light.

No!
[ Groaning ]

Aw. Now, see?
That's where you're wrong.

'Cause we're here to teach
you boys a lesson.

Lesson number one:
What goes up must come down.

Lesson two: When you hear
the bell ring, school's out.

Ah!
Class dismissed.

- Well done.
- Likewise.

[ Teacher Groaning ]
Are you all right there?

Up you go.
Oh, thank you.

The writings of Socrates,

Homer and Ovid.

These are more precious
to me than gold.

Nice to know there's at least
one freethinker left among ya.

- Who are the goons?
- This God of Light calls them his missionaries.

I call them trained thugs.

And I suppose being a teacher puts
you at the top of their hit list.

They rounded me up with the rest
of my colleagues to be converted,

but I managed to escape and
came back to save what I could.

- Do you remember where they took you?
- Yes. They have a stronghold...

[ Whimpering, Choking ]

lolaus told everyone you
vowed to destroy the Olympians.

He said he had no choice
but to eat ambrosia...

so he'd have the strength to stop
you. Well, now you know the truth.

I'm sorry I doubted you, Hercules,
but when the gods disappeared,

it seemed possible you'd
found a way to kill them.

There's no need
to apologize.

Garden looks beautiful.
Mmm.

Alcmene
taught me well.

- Where's Iphicles?
- He left Corinth on a diplomatic mission...

before any of this
happened.

Well, I'd love to stay,
but I've got to go find...

something that looks
like lolaus.

You know, the old temples are being
converted into shrines in his honor.

He said if we ever
needed him,

all we had to do
was pray.

[ Dahak ] Now, why did you
go and do a thing like that?

We don't expect the maid
until tomorrow.

Well, then,
you're in luck,

because I'm here to wipe
the floor with your face.

You know,

I'm sensing a little
hostility here.

What have you done with the
Olympians? The real question is,

what have they done
with themselves?

They left
before I arrived.

But don't worry.
I'll find them.

- I'm not the one who should be worrying.
- [ Chuckles ]

I don't get it. I spend
my whole life by your side,

fighting the gods.

And now that I have the power to
destroy them, you're defending them.

I never wanted
to destroy them.

I only wanted to stop them from
playing with people's lives.

If you really were lolaus,
you'd know that.

[ Chuckling ]
What I know...

is that I have given
these people a choice.

Now, if they have accepted me into
their hearts of their own free will,

who are you
to protest?

You lied to them
to win their loyalty.

I didn't force them to do anything, and
I can't help it if these people are sheep.

And what do you
get out of this?

A return
to the good old days,

before the Olympians
graced the skies.

The good old days
are over.

Sorry, buddy.
Best to part now,

while we're still friends.

lolaus!
If you're in there,

[ Groans ]
fight him!

[ Groaning ]

- Hercules?
- lolaus?

Please. It hurts.

Please send him back.

I can't hold him off
much longer.

Kill me. Do it!

Do it now! It hurts so much! Please!

Kill me. Kill me now. Do it!

[ Yelling ]

Hercules! Go on.

Kill me now. Do it!

No. It's too simple.

You want me to kill you.

[ Dahak's Voice ] Maybe I just
want to give you a fighting chance.

Maybe I wasn't
born yesterday.

This is the second time you've
tried to get me to kill you.

And whatever you've got
in mind, it won't work.

You know the great thing
about the future?

You never know how it's
gonna turn out. [ Chuckling ]

Said he wanted to make the world
like it was before the gods.

That mean anything to you? It
might mean something to the Titans.

They were here
before the Olympians.

Didn't Zeus imprison them
beneath the earth? Yep.

So I don't suppose they'd be
too anxious to help his son.

Uh, no, but it's
all we've got.

Well, then, we know
what we have to do.

Jason's expecting you? Aye.
We'll find the stronghold.

Don't you worry.
Okay.

You sure you're ready for
this? Quit asking me that.

I was strong enough to
resist lolaus in Sumeria.

I'm strong enough
to resist him now.

Go. Get out of here.

All right. See you
back at Jason's tonight.

Mnemosyne!
Show yourself!

- And who are you?
- Sorry to drop in uninvited, but I need your help.

I'm Hercules, son of Zeus. [ Yells ]

It was your father...

who imprisoned me here
for eternity!

And if I can never leave,
then neither can you!

No, hold your fire!
Listen to me!

Zeus is the least
of your problems.

Dahak has returned.
[ Yells ]

I, uh... I take it you
weren't the best of friends.

Before the reign
of the gods,

Dahak sought to take
the world from the Titans.

And by the time we defeated
him, we were too weak...

to defend ourselves
against the Olympians.

So Zeus isn't the only one to
blame for putting you down here.

Make no mistake
about it, Hercules.

I despise them both!

But if Dahak succeeds,

I won't live to see the day
that Zeus kneels before me!

Yeah. Well, it's good
to have goals.

You must retrieve
the Stone of Creation.

If it is brought before Dahak
at the dawning of the sun,

it will harness
a pure and perfect light.

Dahak will be
rendered powerless...

long enough for you to
send him back to his realm.

Just tell me
where it is.

[ Grunting ]
No, no, no. Wait.

I- I've come to help.
Help me what?

I am Zarathustra,
the first to believe...

the lies of Dahak
a thousand years ago.

You're an immortal.

I've walked this earth in your footsteps
in the hope that I would find you.

Because? Because you and you alone...

have the power
to destroy this world...

or to save it.

I never thought I'd
find you at the altar.

I never had a reason
to pray before.

- What are you praying for?
- Your soul.

I'm sorry for the way I
treated you back in Sumeria.

But I meant
what I said.

We should be
together.

And then
you rejected me and,

well,

let's just say...

part of me
didn't take that too well.

And which part
am I speaking to now?

Ah, Nebula,
don't you know?

Not anymore.

The lolaus I knew...

cared about other people more
than he cared about himself.

If you're still the person
that I fell in love with,

leave Greece now,

before anyone else
gets hurt, please.

I promise you,

in my kingdom, there
will be no suffering.

But you can't build
a new world...

without first
destroying the old one.

I won't be a part of that.

[ Dahak's Voice ] We
belong together, Nebula.

Our love... is eternal.

Our world is made up
of two forces...

more basic and ancient
than any god or Titan...

the impulse to create...

and the impulse
to destroy.

These impulses exist
in all things.

Take something
as simple as water.

It can save a thirsty
man... Or it can drown him.

So what you're saying is that Dahak is just
another name for the destructive impulse.

As long as we keep these
two forces in balance,

our world remains
in a state of harmony.

When Dahak entered
this realm,

the balance of power
began to sway,

and with each act
of destruction...

- the death of the Sumerian gods...
- [ Screaming ]

death of the Druids...

Dahak grew stronger.

He wants me
to destroy him.

Because he holds an innocent
soul within his grasp.

- lolaus.
- Think of Dahak as a disease that has infected your friend.

Now they are
one and the same.

If I send Dahak
back into his realm,

I condemn lolaus's soul
to the same fate.

You have always been a target for
the forces of darkness, Hercules,

because there is a perfect
union of man and god within you.

If you damn
an innocent soul,

the balance of power in
this world will forever turn,

and Dahak will have that
which he craves most.

Chaos.

You sure this is gonna work?
I'm not sure of anything.

I made the mistake
of doubting Hercules once.

I'm not about to do it again. It's
not Hercules I'm worried about.

[ Man ] The God of Light
has summoned you both...

to join him at a sermon in your honor.

Why, Jason, I didn't know you
were having guests. Neither did I.

Please thank him for
the kind invitation,

but we must decline.

Let's go, darling.
We insist.

Must be one heck
of a sermon.

I've got a question
for you boys.

These robes you're wearing...
They look very comfortable.

Did your mothers make
them for ya? [ Both ] Hmm?

Or are ya both shopping
at the same boutique?

Morrigan!

I've been itching to do that
for a long time.

So if I destroy Dahak,
I destroy the world.

But if you don't, Dahak will
continue to gather followers,

and we will come to fight not one
beast but a legion of darkness.

That's wonderful. It's not often
that things are worse than I thought.

Sorry, Hercules.
Wish I could offer more.

Perhaps mankind
has had its turn.

No. Nothing has ever determined
the course of our destiny.

I'm not about to let
Dahak start now.

You said he's like a disease. If
that's true, lolaus can be cured.

I'm not following you.

If we could separate
lolaus's soul from Dahak,

then Dahak can be sent
back into his realm...

and lolaus will finally
be able to rest in peace.

You're talking about
an exorcism.

I witnessed one centuries ago. It's
not something I care to remember.

You could destroy lolaus, and
Dahak would still have the world.

Do you have
a better idea?

How do you expect
to restrain him long enough?

I'm gonna make him
see the light.

[ People Chattering ]

[ Groaning ]

Our good news is
we found the stronghold.

What's the bad news?

Oh. I see.

[ Jason ] The sun will be setting
soon. Hercules will be expecting us.

Well, let's just hope he
found a way to stop lolaus.

It's checkout time.
[ Groaning ]

I'm sorry, Morrigan. My mind
must be playing tricks on you.

Why are you doing this?
Ah, Jason.

When you found
the golden fleece...

I was so grateful to share
that experience with you.

And now I've found
something myself.

Call it... [ Gasps ] the truth.

And I so want you to
be part of that with me.

Come here.

Let me tell you
something...

whoever you are.

If there's one thing
I've learned,

it's that anyone who says
they know everything...

doesn't know
a damn thing at all!

I admire your conviction,

and I hope it will be of use to
you for the rest of your life here.

And don't worry, Morrigan. I
haven't forgotten about you.

Well, lookee here.

I knew
you'd betray us.

Why don't you take a shot at
me when my back's not turned?

I wouldn't want to
embarrass you twice.

Move!
You coward!

Mnemosyne said the stone would
harness a light that'll weaken Dahak.

For how long? Until
the light fades. Sunset.

A day may not be
enough time.

Dahak has spent an eternity
trying to enter our world.

He won't release your friend
without a fight.

He tried to use you like
he's using lolaus, didn't he?

Imagine your every
primal desire...

rewarded with a surge
of bliss.

Independent of any and all
moral consideration.

That is the voice
of Dahak.

I was prepared
to give my life...

so the rest of the world
could hear it too.

What stopped you?

To this day,
I still do not know.

If Dahak is the name
for the impulse to destroy,

there must be a name
for the impulse to create.

Maybe it gave you the strength
to fight Dahak that day.

Perhaps.

But my family
paid the price.

Dahak took their lives and
cursed me with immortality...

so that I would never forget
what I had done.

I'm sorry.

You're hoping that,
by defeating Dahak,

your immortality
will end.

I'm hoping that
my family will forgive me,

wherever they are.

We will succeed,
Zarathustra.

I promise.

Which way?

Your guess is
as good as mine.

What if the stone
is no longer here?

Mnemosyne seemed pretty
sure that it would be.

Whoa.

Bingo.

Guards! Guards!
Come quickly!

Look what he's done!
We tried to stop him!

[ Guards Chuckling ]
[ Guard ] Well, well.

Looks like it's time we
make room for our next guest.

Cut him down.

Hi, there.
Huh?

Sleep well, boys.

Sorry to take the clothes
off your backs, fellas.

Free at last!

[ Hercules ]
Who makes these things?

Be right back.

Whoa!

It's a long way down.

[ Shouts ]

That's one giant leap
for mankind.

Can't be this easy.

I hate it
when I'm right.

[ Shouting ]

Hercules!

[ Hercules ]
This isn't good.

Throw me your staff!

[ Shouting ]

Here! Grab it!

I got you.

Here.
Just grab my hand!

- Thank you.
- Oh, don't thank me.

You've got a very
competent staff.

I, uh... I think
we should go.

dddd [ Piano Glissando ]

] Now is your chance to be
like the gods. dddd [ Continues

I'm gonna show you a world...

where the only crime...

is to not do
whatever you want to do.

"Do what thy will" shall
be the whole of the law.

And all I ask
is that you take...

my message of freedom
into your hearts.

- Do you accept me?
- [ All Affirming ]

- Do you accept me?

Jason, any news? Yeah,
we found the stronghold,

but Morrigan and Nebula
are still inside.

We must hurry. Sunrise
approaches. Who's he?

Uh, I'll explain
on the way.

dd Ooh dd

dd Ooh-ooh dd

My friends,

I'm asking for
your help right now.

I'm beggin'.

'Cause you see,

there's one among us...

who will not accept
our gift of freedom.

But I think
that with your help,

we may be able
to persuade her.

[ Clamoring ]

[ Morrigan ] Get your hands off me.

Whatever you've got to say,
save your breath.

I wouldn't spit in your mouth
if your tongue were on fire.

Oh, I think you'll be
surprised what you'll do...

to spare your daughter the
pain of growing up an orphan.

At least she'll know her ma didn't
bow down to the likes of you.

Between us,
I'm glad you refused.

When Hercules sees
your dead body,

he might just hate me enough to kill me.

Mmm.
Let me take her out.

Please.

Try not to miss.
I won't.

[ Snarls ]

Hi, Dahak. Now it's your turn to pray.

Deception is the will
and the way of darkness.

The power of Greece
is upon you!

[ Demonic Language ]

[ All Clamoring ]

This way.

dddd [ Indistinct ]

You betrayed me!
Now we're even!

Not quite.

Hercules! The sun!

Dahak.

Are you all right? Oh,
yeah. Feel like singin'.

You know, for a minute
there, you had me goin'.

Nice performance.
Thanks. I got a method.

Gotta go!

[ Yelling ]

[ Laughing ]

Hey, if you don't kill me now,

I'll take the whole world
soul by soul.

Oh, lighten up.

[ Groaning ]

[ Snarling ]

Can I breathe now?

That's a handy rock
you got there.

It won't last. By sunset,
he'll be free again.

The demon must be
driven out.

[ Raspy Chuckling ]

[ Hercules ] Then what
are we waiting for?

Let the exorcism begin.
