All language subtitles for Hercules - The Legendary Journeys - 02x23 - Centaur Mentor Journey

You're a brave lad, Theseus.

You have nothing
to fear from the city.

Let no one but Hercules see this.

Go now. There isn't much time.

You're in the right
place at the right time.

- OK, what is it?
- You're never gonna believe it.

- When it involves you, I usually don't.
- No!

I've stumbled onto something
that's gonna make us more

- dinars than you ever imagined!
- Do you ever give up?

- All I need is your endorsement!
- For what?

- Air sandals.
- Come again?

Air sandals! See?

Each one of these has a squirrel
bladder lovingly sewn inside.

Ya blow in it like this tie it off
and it's like you're walking on air.

Hmm, how does the
squirrel feel about it?

- Have you seen Hercules?
- Not lately.

- Do ya need some help?
- I'm looking for Hercules.

You're in luck! He's right here.

Ah, I know what Hercules looks like.

I was just kidding?
What you got there?

- I don't want it.
- Just let me see it.

Get him!

I even have a slogan,
'The son of Zeus!

Is on the lose!
With Herculoid air sandals!'

- What do you think, huh?
- I hold that thought.

Say, friends.
This isn't any of your concern.

Well, you're wrong on both
counts. One I'm not your friend.

And two, this is my concern.

Mong, rearrange his body parts.

Mong?

Hi.

Doesn't that hurt?

Uh-uh, not nice to hit
somebody from behind.

- I should do it face-to-face?
- It's more sporting.

You all right?

Theseus.
What are you doing here?

- It's from Ceridian.
- Who's Chromium?

- Ceridian, he was my mentor.
- Well, what's he say?

He's dying.

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.

- Are you doing OK, Theseus?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

I hardly recognize you
since I last saw you.

- You've grown so much.
- Yeah.

- Ha-ha, not much of a talker, is he?
- Well, that's not a bad thing.

What I don't get is
Zeus is your father.

- Why did you need a mentor?
- Ah, Zeus was never around.

My stepfather died
before I even met him.

It was Ceridian who helped
my mother raise me.

He taught me everything I know.

He was the one that taught
Hercules how to be a great warrior.

It was more than that.
He taught me medicine

philosophy reading, writing.
He taught me about life.

Shouldn't Theseus lead the way?

I spent a good part
of my youth here.

I could find my way blindfolded.

Of course, I was much
shorther back then.

Ha-ha, yeah.

You came.

Of course I did.

Ceridian, the note
said you were dying.

I am. But, I intend to
go out with a little

dignity on my own four feet.

- I'm Ceridian.
- Salmoneus, it's an honor to meet you.

Let's eat.

Theseus, sip it. Don't slurp it.

- It's very good. What's in it.
- Just enjoy.

I've lived a long, fruitful life,
Hercules, seen and done many things.

But my greatest pleasure
has always come from

tutoring young men
like Theseus and yourself

watching them grow into
good, productive beings.

Hercules told me about them.
It's an impressive list

- Jason, Asclepius--
- Amongst others.

I merely brought out
what was already in them.

You know?
Even my less-famous students

none of them ever...
ever turned out badly yet.

Theseus, would you excuse us?

He's a good lad.
A little rough around the edges,

but so was somebody else
I can remember at his age.

- So, he's not your problem.
- No.

- His name is Cassius, a Centaur.
- I remember Cassius.

I thought he was one
of your best students.

He is. He's a brilliant thinker
extraordinary warrior.

But he's just beginnning
to understand his powers

especially over others.

And I'm afraid he may
use them to bad ends.

He's a natural leader, and
Theseus looks up to him so much.

Oh, I see.

It would mean a lot to me if
you could put him back on track.

Then I'd leave this
Earth a happy man.

I'll do what I can about Cassius.

Where do I find him?

Yeah, Cassius comes here
sometimes usually at night

says he doesn't like being
around humans, anymore.

And the feeling's mutual
ever since he threw

the last smith through the
wall for calling him a beast.

- Through a wall? You're kidding.
- Cassius is just a trouble-maker.

We have no Centaur
problem around here.

- Well, that's good to know.
- As long as they know their place

in the forge on the
battlefields there are

no better workers or warriors.

It's when they're allowed to
mingle that troubles arise.

And how does one
keep them from mingling?

I make the laws.
They must obey them.

- It's really very simple.
- Hmm, and who are you?

I'm Gredor, the town Magistrate.
And you?

I'm Hercules.

Is my sword ready?

- This will do nicely.
- Pleasant guy.

- Yeah, friend of yours?
- He keeps the peace.

You wanna find Cassius, go
ask Myrra, his ex-girlfriend.

- She's at the school.
- Thanks.

OK.

The important thing is to
keep the string as taut--

- don't be afraid for me.
- I don't want you to die.

I know, but that's the natural
course of all living things.

The birds, trees, flowers
they all bloom, reproduce

then fade away, to
make room for others

- to bloom in their place.
- But why?

Good question, who knows? You
may be the one to find the answer.

You are a young Hercules,
aren't you?

I hope they teach business
and marketing concepts

at that school like the value
of celebrity endorsement?

And, 'Buy wholesale and sell retail.'?

You are just full of
good ideas, aren't you?

Hey! Build a better mousetrap,

the world will beat
a path to your hut!

Wait a second. Wait.
Is that? It is!

- Gnoxius!
- Gnoxius?

He's the guy who sold me
the air-sandal franchise.

- I never guaranteed you a profit!
- Relax! I barely tested the market!

So, call your muscle off. We can
work something out on the price.

He's not my muscle!
He's Hercules, my friend.

Uh, you two seem like you
have a lot of catching up to do,

and I've got a school to go
to, so if you'll excuse me.

Hey, your friend's big enough
to call himself what he likes.

- But if the real Hercules finds out--
- He really is Hercules.

He's going to endorse
our air-sandals.

- Endorse? Really?
- Yeah, now listen.

The air-sandals they feel
good, but they sound bad.

It's kind of a pffffft!
You know what I mean?

So for your homework tonight
I want you to finish you sums

and prepare for the
geography quiz in the morning.

Class dismissed.

Pardon me. Are you Myrra?

If you wanna pull your child
from my class, talk to my father.

Are you having a problem
keeping students enrolled?

Some students seem to
object to the company I keep.

Would that company
be Cassius the Centaur?

- What if it is?
- I'm looking for him.

He doesn't wanna be found
at least, not by our kind.

- And what kind would that be?
- Humans.

Cassius views all of us
as inferior to Centaurs.

Is that why you two went
your separate ways?

I'd rather not talk
about this right now.

If you insist on pulling your child
out of Myrra's class, there's--

No, actually, I don't have
any children in your school.

But I am very impressed.
Education is a wonderful thing.

It's something my
daughter and I believe

should be available for
all not just the rich.

- I couldn't agree with you more.
- So, if you don't have any children here--

- I'm looking for Cassius.
- I don't speak for him,

anymore and I don't speak about
him. Maybe Locus will help you.

- What happened between them?
- Myrra.

Fathers can be very
protective of their daughters.

- Hmm, yes, they certainly can.
- Well, follow me.

- I'll take you to the Centaurs.
- Ah, good.

- Yeah, I think 'possum's the ticket.
- It's tougher.

It has a stronger build to it.
So, whatcha been doing?

I mean, when'd you
get back from Egypt?

Check out these beauties.

Wow! What are they?

I call them wrist dials.

- It's a kind of portable sundial.
- What's a sundial?

- You use 'em to tell the time.
- Why don'tcha look up at the sky?

Hey!
Anybody can look up in the sky!

Not everyone can own one of these.
It's a fashion statement.

Fashion statement, huh?
How much do they go for?

- Five dinars apiece.
- Wait a second! Wait a sec!

I'm getting a vision, here!
Five dinars? Wait a second!

Need a catchy name something
to grab the customers' attention!

Something a name for
something like, uh, sun-time

sun, time-sun... sun... wrist-sun...
wrist... sun... sunex! Sunex!

- Sunex, I like it.
- It's short! It's punchy.

- Sunex.
- It grabs 'em by the throat

and it takes their money.

If I were you,
I wouldn't get involved.

There'll be a lot of blood
spilled before this is over.

- Why's that?
- Centaurs have turned militant.

They're threatening to take
arms and march throught

- the town to the public fountain.
- Why the fountain?

Only humans are allowed
to drink there. It's the law.

Figures I met the lawmaker.

Perdidis' estate straddles
the main road into town.

He swears that should
Cassius come armed

his own men will repel them
with force, if necessary.

Well, this is far as I go. Good luck.

Good, very good.

But not good enough.

- What do we want?
- Equal rights!

- When do we want 'em?
- Now!

Very impressive!

Hello, Cassius.

Oh, did I come at a bad time?

This doesn't look like the kind

of hospitality that
Ceridian taught you.

Consider it a courtesy to
him that I even talk to you.

If I say the word, you're a dead man.
Ceridian spoke of you often.

He said you never lacked courage.

And he was right about
your leadership abilities.

- That was quite a display.
- Centaurs need to stand united

if we're going to take
back what's rightfully ours.

No human's going to give
us anything, are they?

- I'm not so sure about that.
- I am!

This town was built on
the backs of Centaurs.

We tilled the fields.
We worked the forges

yet we're not allowed
in the marketplace

or even to drink from
the public fountain!

That's not right.
And I sympathize with your--

Sympathy is for the weak!

And I vow that Centaurs
will never be weak again.

There are other ways
to achieve your goals

without people getting hurt.
Ceridian wouldn't--

Ceridian is an old fool!

Centaurs are done talking.
It's time for taking.

Cassius, don't you think
it would be better if y--

I'm through talking to you.
The next time we meet

you had better come armed.

I think we're getting
good market acceptance

- and penetration.
- I think--

Now, if we keep with
this rhythm I think

we can find out if the
market is really gonna--

Hey... This thing's not working.

Of course, not.
Do you see any sun?

And what good is it if
I can't tell time inside?

No, no, you're missing the point!

The point is, it's a
fashion statement!

Hey, it's a Sunex. Pretty soon,
everyone'll want one.

Maybe it's the name.

Maybe it's not sexy enough.
Maybe, uh, 'Wristoflex', huh?

- I like it. Good ring to it.
- You...?

Yeah.

- That should help ease the pain.
- Never mind the pain.

- Tell me about Cassius.
- Uh, yeah. We talked.

Oh, he's a stubborn one,
always was.

A lot like you in
your younger days.

I had hoped to groom him
to take over for me after

- I've gone, but now--
- You're not going to die!

- Go on.
- Yeah.

I'm sorry you have
to go through this.

It's never easy letting
someone you love go.

What do you know about it?

More than I ever wanted to.

Cassius used to be my friend.

But now Ceridian's
the only one I have left.

No, I'm your friend, too.
I know what you're feeling.

Ceridian was always
there when I needed him.

But when he's dead?

He'll still be there. You'll see.

Just be grateful for this
time you've had with him

and know that he's
going to a better place.

Do the Elysian Fields really exist?

I've been there.

You're a long way from
your father's estate.

And you're a long way from
the castle training grounds.

I like this place. It helps me think.

About how you'll
kill all the humans?

Only those who
trample on our rights!

Then, why are you arming yourself
to march on my father's estate?

We may need to defend ourselves.

It's not revenge, because he
stopped you from seeing me?

- It was my idea to stop seeing you.
- You? But why?

This movement I've started
it's taken on a life of it's own.

People can't ignore me,
or turn away anymore.

Now, for the first time in my life
when they look at me I see respect.

Are you sure it's not fear?

After centuries of abuse maybe
it's not such a bad thing that

Centaurs are feared
rather than fearful.

Cassius, let us do this together.
I want to be by your side.

No there are some
who want me dead.

That's a risk I'm willing to take.

But I couldn't stand it if any
harm were to come to you.

I'm not afraid. I'd rather--

If anything does happen to me
just know that I loved you.

Your great-grandfather's castle.
A shame how it's fallen into ruin.

Now a Centaur training-ground.

Not for long, Locus
not if things go as planned.

You don't think Perdidis or
Cassius suspect anything?

- No, nothing.
- Good.

I love surprises.

Especially unpleasant ones.

I gotta tell ya they look
good and they feel good.

My wrist would be naked
without it right now.

- I like the colors.
- Absolutely, now, if you had

a mirror in there, you could kind
of look at yourself and you c--

Hey, look what we got here.

See ya later.

Why didn't you run
with your friend?

- I've got no problem with Centaurs.
- You don't?

What's that stupid
thing on your wrist?

This? It's a wrist dial.

See, if there's enough sun and
you're in the right position

you can kind of tell you can
it's a fashion statement!

- Fashion statement?
- I sell them to people.

OK? It's a living. I mean here
why don't you take one?

I... it's not worth much just
some cheap metal. I mean--

Made in forges by
cheap labor like us!

Hey! Some of my best
friends are cheap labor!

- I mean, Centaurs!
- Who you calling 'Cheap'?

- Hey, watch it now. Watch it.
- What's the matter?

You don't like being
shoved around by your

- cheap-labor Centaur friends?
- Hey!

I used to baby-sit
for Centaurs! Please!

What's going on here?

We were discussing liberal
hypocrisy among the middle class.

Well, Salmoneus is full
of liberal hypocrisy.

You should have
plenty to talk about.

Enough talk!

Nice shot, but I thought
you were a man of peace.

Is this how you
sympathize with our cause?

This isn't what it looks like.

An attack on one Centaur
is an attack on all of us.

Cassius, I don't
have a fight with you.

Well, now you do!

This is for all Centaurs.

- And what is this for?
- All the indignities

we've suffered at the hands
of humans over the centuries.

Yes!

Yeah!

Kill the human!

Yeah!

Ceridian said you were intelligent
that you were a born leader.

Now, why don't you show it?

Yeah!

Get him, Cassius!

- Give up!
- Never!

Now, that's twice
I could've killed you!

I'll never yield to
another human again!

Then you're a fool!

Moral battles may be worth
dying for but not street brawls!

Come quick! It's Ceridian!
He's having trouble breathing!

If this is the end,
you should be there.

Ceridian chose to live with
humans. He can die with them.

You have a lot to learn.

Salmoneus, take Theseus.
Find me some eucalyptus leaves.

Yeah.

- Quickly! Go!
- Cassius.

We met again.
It we talked longer this time.

- You talked.
- Don't worry about it.

It'll work out.

- What do you want?
- I just heard Ceridian is dying.

- Why aren't you with him?
- He'd rather leave this world

in the company of
humans than his own kind.

You know that's not true.

He wants to be around
all people he cares about.

Hercules is with him.
That's enough.

So, it's pride that stops you
from doing what you should?

- Get out of here!
- Not till you wake up

and realize that not all
humans are against you!

Cassius, I believe in you
and what you stand for

but don't be so consumed
by it that you turn away

- the ones who love you!
- What do you want from me?

Nothing. What I want
for you is to be happy.

And I don't see that in
the path you've chosen.

One of these has to work.
We'll find the right combination.

There is no herbal remedy
to cure this illness, Hercules.

I am not giving up!

I'm, uh, I'll send Salmoneus
off to find Asclepius.

He must know if some
medicine that we--

I'm dying.

That's all there is to it.

I never got the chance to say
goodbye to Deianeira and the kids.

And now that you taught me so
much about you know, everything.

I just wanted to thank you.

You may have been my mentor,

but no one ever
had a better father.

It was my pleasure.

I will miss you.

And I, you.

Ceridian, Cassius is outside.

Send him in.

I want to speak to him alone.

He wants to see you.

Let him go!
He needs some time alone.

- Having second thoughts?
- No, not really.

We're doing the right thing, Locus.
This isn't just about a fountain.

If the Centaurs start
drinking from the same

waters as humans
where will it end?

Do we want them playing with
our children? With our women?

- You can count on me.
- Remember,

it's important that Cassius
gets blames for Perdidis' death.

Uh, I've had the smith fashion
a knife just like the Centaurs'.

I don't care how you do it just so
long as we can put it onto Cassius.

Remember, with Perdidis and
the Centaur out of the way,

we can get your
ancestor's lands back.

Being a Magistrate
has its advantages.

What if Hercules gets in the way?

Why, then, you'll
have to kill him, too.

- Centaurs must live--
- You're wrong, old man!

We can live very
well without them!

- Ceridian, what happened?
- Uh, just a difference of opinion.

He's burning up. Get some water.

You must stop Cassius.

He has gone to arm the Centaurs
to march in the fountain.

There'll be blood
spilled on both sides.

- I am not going anywhere.
- You're the only one who can stop him!

Saving lives is more important
than waching one slip away!

I'll stay with him. Go.

All right.

Step aside, Perdidis. Let us pass.

I told you before, Cassius,
I don't allow armed men

Centaurs or otherwise,
across my property.

Then you bring this fight
on yourself! Centaurs!

At arms!

Wait!

Do you even know
why you're fighting?

- They're trespassing!
- Equal rights for all Centaurs.

I believe in equal
rights myself, Cassius.

But it's not worth killing
innocent people over.

It's no use, Hercules. You're
just postponing the inevitable!

Enough talk!
Attack the Centaurs now!

Don't!

Can't you see
what's going on here?

You're being goaded into a
fight that no side really wants!

It's only those who hate Centaurs
that need this war to happen!

Hercules is right. They'll hope

you'll start the killing,
so they can start killing you!

Then they'll have their
excuse to wipe you all out.

That's what we've come
to expect from all humans.

Is it really?

Well then maybe you should
start the killing with Myrra!

Or Theseus!
I mean, they are human!

They're in your way,
aren't they? If you really believe

that there're no humans worth
saving, then begin with them!

They're not the
ones preventing us

- from getting what's rightfully ours.
- Neither is Perdidis.

Put down your weapons and
he'll let you and the others pass.

Won't you?

Put them down, Cassius,
and I'll march with you.

If we're attacked,
we'll be defenseless!

Show them your Centaur
bravery and strength

by not taking revenge
on your attackers.

Throw your weapons aside and
Perdidis will join us in our march.

Or are you a man who
just talks his principles,

but doesn't live up to them?

We'll join you.

Cassius' bow, yeah.

Stand strong, Centaurs.
Discipline.

The only good Centaur
is a dead Centaur!

They can't they can't.

This is right, isn't it?

No, I'm fine.

Are you all right?

No! Hold your ranks!

- But he was--
- I know. I know.

Come on.

Let's see if he's all right.

See what happens, Locus?
Violence begets violence.

- Yeah.
- Let's go.

You've got some explaining to do.

I think the townspeople
should hear the real story.

- You too.
- What?

That's far enough.
You know the law.

- We're changing it.
- Not as long as I'm Magistrate.

Kill the first one
who steps forward.

Hold it!

Locus, here,
has something to say.

Gredor's been lying to you.
He's behind this whole thing

pitting us and the Centaurs
against each other,

- so he can grab the land.
- That's a lie! This man is insane!

It's true!
I wanted my ancestor's castle

and he wants Perdidis'
estate for himself.

I'll give you a choice.
I'll either turn you

over to the crowd and let
them judge if you're lying

or you can resign as Magistrate
and leave town now.

Ceridian.

Ceridian.

Let's go.

I think he's gonna make it.

His spirits have perked
up in the last few minutes.

Have you two resolved everything?

As far as I'm concerned, but you'll
have to ask Cassius how he feels.

I was wrong. I'm sorry.

We still have a long way
to go to reach equality

- but violence isn't the answer.
- I'm pleased.

The Centaurs can be
proud of their new leader.

And I can go to the
other side in peace.

Be brave, young Theseus
and listen to your mentor.

Goodbye, my friends.

Goodbye, my friend.

I hardly knew him.
But I know he'll be missed.

Yes, he will.

Good luck to you, Cassius.
I know you'll make Ceridian proud.

Thank you, Hercules.
But I won't be alone.

Myrra can give Theseus
his formal education.

Father is opening the school
to all who want an education

- Centaurs included.
- Your father is a very wise man.

Theseus, you be safe, all of you.
