1
00:01:13,601 --> 00:01:19,740
I, Zeus, the father of Mankind
and long its benefactor,

2
00:01:19,773 --> 00:01:24,878
decreed ions ago that the time
of the Gods in the world of

3
00:01:24,912 --> 00:01:31,252
Man had past. By then, I had
fathered many children, some

4
00:01:31,285 --> 00:01:36,790
divine, some mortal -- all of
them possessing skills needed

5
00:01:36,824 --> 00:01:42,296
to further the humans taming
of a dangerous cosmos. One of

6
00:01:42,330 --> 00:01:47,101
my sons was Hercules and his
strength is spoken of to this

7
00:01:47,135 --> 00:01:48,502
day.

8
00:01:50,738 --> 00:01:57,178
However, my wife, Hera,
was jealous of Hercules...

9
00:01:57,211 --> 00:02:02,550
I am Hera, wife of Zeus. I
will never understand his

10
00:02:02,583 --> 00:02:06,420
fondness for his mortal
offspring, particular those

11
00:02:06,454 --> 00:02:10,624
sired by others, undeserving.
Hercules was the most

12
00:02:10,658 --> 00:02:17,131
offensive; his gifts wasted.
So, I vowed to murder him.

13
00:02:37,451 --> 00:02:40,888
I am Athena, Goddess of
wisdom. Knowing of Hera's

14
00:02:40,921 --> 00:02:45,025
drive to kill Hercules, and
seeing his potential, I

15
00:02:45,059 --> 00:02:48,028
proposed sheltering him,
hoping her murderous intent

16
00:02:48,062 --> 00:02:51,399
would wane. But even I could
not foresee what would

17
00:02:51,432 --> 00:02:53,634
happen at my retreat.

18
00:03:47,054 --> 00:03:49,723
Athena, what's the
meaning of this?

19
00:03:49,757 --> 00:03:51,459
How do you mean, Hercules?

20
00:03:51,492 --> 00:03:55,296
Why did you summon me here? My
studies, my friends, my

21
00:03:55,329 --> 00:03:58,466
mother, they all
reside in the city.

22
00:03:58,499 --> 00:04:01,135
Sometimes we learn most when
we are removed

23
00:04:01,169 --> 00:04:02,236
from what we know.

24
00:04:02,270 --> 00:04:05,005
Aw, You speak in riddles. You
always have.

25
00:04:05,038 --> 00:04:08,442
I wish to further your
studies. To perhaps embolden

26
00:04:08,476 --> 00:04:10,010
your physical strengths .

27
00:04:10,978 --> 00:04:13,113
I am the son of Zeus, I have
physical strength

28
00:04:13,147 --> 00:04:14,248
beyond all men.

29
00:04:15,783 --> 00:04:18,352
Excuse me, Athena, is now
a good time?

30
00:04:18,386 --> 00:04:22,290
Yes. Please meet Hercules.
Hercules, this is your

31
00:04:22,323 --> 00:04:24,892
trainer, Pronax. He's fought
valiantly in many campaigns.

32
00:04:27,961 --> 00:04:31,365
The mighty Hercules. Your
reputation grows.

33
00:04:31,399 --> 00:04:34,835
As it should, my brother.
Forgive me, but I still don't

34
00:04:34,868 --> 00:04:38,706
know why I'm here. But I
will amuse Athena. If

35
00:04:38,739 --> 00:04:40,374
you'll excuse me.

36
00:04:42,876 --> 00:04:45,846
You haven't told him of Hera's
anger towards him?

37
00:04:45,879 --> 00:04:48,182
He knows her intent, but not
how close

38
00:04:48,216 --> 00:04:49,517
she is to succeeding.

39
00:04:50,718 --> 00:04:54,488
He would be wise to increase
his humility; hubris only

40
00:04:54,522 --> 00:04:57,691
clouds ones reaction or lack
there of in matters

41
00:04:57,725 --> 00:04:58,826
such as this.

42
00:05:00,127 --> 00:05:04,298
I know. I fear it may one day
be his undoing. I will work to

43
00:05:04,332 --> 00:05:08,702
convince him to let go his
over- chilliest attitude.

44
00:05:08,736 --> 00:05:11,038
Your wisdom will no doubt help
him. I will prepare to

45
00:05:11,071 --> 00:05:12,906
meet the others.

46
00:05:27,255 --> 00:05:29,257
Why are you following me?

47
00:05:29,290 --> 00:05:32,826
Whoo, Apologies, friend. I was
merely hoping we might travel

48
00:05:32,860 --> 00:05:35,162
together. The only two
destinations for anyone out

49
00:05:35,195 --> 00:05:39,933
here are the Warrior's
Training Camp.. And oblivion.

50
00:05:39,967 --> 00:05:42,169
I'm surprised you caught me.
Not many do.

51
00:05:42,202 --> 00:05:44,438
I can see that. I'm Thestor.

52
00:05:45,739 --> 00:05:49,843
Dolon. I don't wish to let the
sun set before our arrival.

53
00:05:49,877 --> 00:05:52,145
The plains can be dangerous
come nightfall.

54
00:05:52,179 --> 00:05:55,215
Understood.
How did you come to be invited

55
00:05:55,249 --> 00:05:57,251
to the Warrior's training
Camp?

56
00:05:57,285 --> 00:05:59,853
I am a runner. That is what
the Gods have blessed me with.

57
00:05:59,887 --> 00:06:04,492
Clearly. I am sadly a master
of no one pursuit, but wish

58
00:06:04,525 --> 00:06:07,328
to learn more. Though I
clearly will not

59
00:06:07,361 --> 00:06:08,962
best you on foot.

60
00:06:10,230 --> 00:06:13,767
I was invited by a minion from
Athena herself. Apparently my

61
00:06:13,801 --> 00:06:16,804
renown gains favor. I am
honored regardless.

62
00:06:16,837 --> 00:06:20,541
As you should. I fought
alongside Pronax, the lead

63
00:06:20,574 --> 00:06:23,711
trainer. What he saw in me I'm
unsure, but I certainly

64
00:06:23,744 --> 00:06:25,579
admire his patronage.

65
00:06:28,516 --> 00:06:30,984
You know I've heard rumors
that this is to be a very

66
00:06:31,018 --> 00:06:33,487
special retreat for the.
warrior set.

67
00:06:33,521 --> 00:06:36,557
All retreats are special. It
is an honor regardless.

68
00:06:40,361 --> 00:06:44,131
Even if there are rumors of a
certain warrior's presence.

69
00:06:44,164 --> 00:06:47,401
I pay no attention to
rumors and gossip.

70
00:06:47,435 --> 00:06:49,269
Of course, Dolon...

71
00:06:49,303 --> 00:06:52,806
We are already honored. To
wonder about the Gods

72
00:06:52,840 --> 00:06:55,809
intentions and machinations is
only inviting trouble.

73
00:06:55,843 --> 00:06:58,178
Even if we are training with
the mighty Hercules?

74
00:07:01,449 --> 00:07:04,518
Perhaps we should run the rest
of the way.

75
00:07:04,552 --> 00:07:06,620
Thestor... Thestor, were you
serious?

76
00:07:18,566 --> 00:07:21,101
Abderus! You miserable dog!

77
00:07:21,134 --> 00:07:24,004
Hercules! It has been
too long.

78
00:07:24,037 --> 00:07:26,840
Yes, How many seasons have
passed since our childhood?

79
00:07:26,874 --> 00:07:27,975
Many.

80
00:07:29,443 --> 00:07:32,846
Oh, I have heard of your
heroics in battle. I always

81
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,915
knew you would make good.

82
00:07:34,948 --> 00:07:37,217
High praise indeed from the
mighty Hercules.

83
00:07:37,250 --> 00:07:39,553
Your reputation grows.

84
00:07:39,587 --> 00:07:43,090
My travels are certainly
worthy of praise. Just the

85
00:07:43,123 --> 00:07:47,528
beginning, let me tell you. In
fact you must already be

86
00:07:47,561 --> 00:07:49,930
famous just for having
befriended me as a child.

87
00:07:49,963 --> 00:07:50,464
I suppose...

88
00:07:51,732 --> 00:07:55,202
I told Athena if she wishes my
presence here to train a new

89
00:07:55,235 --> 00:07:59,540
generation of warriors, so be
it. I mean after all who

90
00:07:59,573 --> 00:08:02,275
couldn't use advice from
the mighty Hercules?

91
00:08:03,744 --> 00:08:05,112
Who indeed?

92
00:08:06,313 --> 00:08:09,783
Come inside, have some drink
before your education starts.

93
00:08:21,028 --> 00:08:22,062
Pronax.

94
00:08:22,095 --> 00:08:24,231
Capaneous. I'm glad you came.

95
00:08:24,264 --> 00:08:28,135
You summoned me. It's not
everyday one is called to the

96
00:08:28,168 --> 00:08:30,137
warrior's retreat. Though I'm
confused as to why?

97
00:08:30,170 --> 00:08:32,239
My abilities on the
battlefield and in the ring

98
00:08:32,272 --> 00:08:35,175
speak for themselves. I
have no equal.

99
00:08:35,208 --> 00:08:40,514
That may well be, but this is
a unique opportunity. One I

100
00:08:40,548 --> 00:08:43,016
didn't think you
would mind indulging.

101
00:08:43,050 --> 00:08:44,852
I respect your
accomplishments. I

102
00:08:44,885 --> 00:08:47,254
wouldn't have bothered
traveling here if I didn't.

103
00:08:47,287 --> 00:08:48,789
Athena is here.

104
00:08:48,822 --> 00:08:51,391
So I heard. That can't be
the only reason.

105
00:08:51,425 --> 00:08:53,326
Hercules is here.

106
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,263
Hercules... So I might
actually get to spar with the

107
00:08:56,296 --> 00:08:59,199
'mighty' one himself?

108
00:08:59,232 --> 00:09:00,067
Indeed.

109
00:09:00,100 --> 00:09:02,235
You have done me a service,
Pronax.

110
00:09:02,269 --> 00:09:03,837
I thought you might
be pleased.

111
00:09:03,871 --> 00:09:05,238
Very.

112
00:09:06,306 --> 00:09:09,176
We will start on the
training grounds at sunrise,

113
00:09:10,310 --> 00:09:13,313
I will sleep well then.

114
00:09:18,686 --> 00:09:21,088
Have the warrior's you
championed arrived?

115
00:09:21,121 --> 00:09:23,824
Yes. The final one
just arrived.

116
00:09:23,857 --> 00:09:25,092
Yes. The final one
just arrived.

117
00:09:25,125 --> 00:09:27,127
It is a small compliment, but
they will most certainly be

118
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,397
kept busy. I sought out
fighters who would challenge

119
00:09:30,430 --> 00:09:32,132
each other in many
different ways.

120
00:09:32,165 --> 00:09:35,435
Good. I don't want any of
them, Hercules especially,

121
00:09:35,469 --> 00:09:39,206
finding out the true purpose
of this ruse. Hera's treachery

122
00:09:39,239 --> 00:09:40,641
must not find purchase here.

123
00:09:40,674 --> 00:09:41,909
Of course.

124
00:09:41,942 --> 00:09:44,912
Good. Then, I will check in on
you and your men at daylight.

125
00:09:44,945 --> 00:09:48,616
Everything will go as planned.
I'm sure of it.

126
00:09:48,649 --> 00:09:50,117
I hope so.

127
00:10:09,369 --> 00:10:14,007
I summoned here today for one
Reason because you are the

128
00:10:14,041 --> 00:10:21,014
very best. War is my
profession and as such, I make

129
00:10:21,048 --> 00:10:24,818
it my concern to know who I
want fighting by my side.

130
00:10:24,852 --> 00:10:28,922
Thanks to Athena's patronage,
you've been given an

131
00:10:28,956 --> 00:10:32,593
opportunity to further your
training. Take a look around,

132
00:10:32,626 --> 00:10:36,329
one of these men may one day.
save your life..

133
00:10:36,363 --> 00:10:37,765
Let's begin.

134
00:12:30,811 --> 00:12:32,813
Haha I don't care..

135
00:24:50,750 --> 00:24:53,052
Stop this there will be
plenty more sparring...

136
00:24:53,085 --> 00:24:54,954
Hercules wishes to
test his metal.

137
00:24:54,987 --> 00:24:58,190
Oh I have nothing to test. No
mortal is my equal. In case

138
00:24:58,224 --> 00:24:59,291
you hadn't heard.

139
00:24:59,325 --> 00:25:00,927
Back away.

140
00:25:01,594 --> 00:25:03,730
Should we stop them, Pronax?

141
00:25:03,763 --> 00:25:06,999
No. Let them release their
aggression... for a moment.

142
00:25:31,290 --> 00:25:33,025
You cannot win.

143
00:25:33,059 --> 00:25:34,360
I will...

144
00:25:35,662 --> 00:25:42,469
Alright, You won't. The sooner
you are aware of that fact,

145
00:25:42,502 --> 00:25:43,102
the better.

146
00:25:44,370 --> 00:25:48,274
I'll show the rest of you what
I know after we eat. I'm

147
00:25:48,307 --> 00:25:50,543
actually thirsty. Not bad.

148
00:25:57,484 --> 00:25:59,719
Should we go after him?

149
00:25:59,752 --> 00:26:01,888
Not if we wish to walk back
with all our limbs intact.

150
00:26:01,921 --> 00:26:05,324
Capaneous will need to curb
his anger, or it will

151
00:26:05,357 --> 00:26:06,993
consume him.

152
00:26:23,776 --> 00:26:25,845
Must you antagonize everyone?

153
00:26:25,878 --> 00:26:28,014
I assume you've been
watching me?

154
00:26:28,047 --> 00:26:30,416
Your performance makes for
excellent theatre.

155
00:26:30,449 --> 00:26:32,585
Do I sense you disapprove?

156
00:26:32,619 --> 00:26:35,922
I want you to take this
seriously.You seem to think

157
00:26:35,955 --> 00:26:38,891
being born of the Gods makes
you immortal.

158
00:26:38,925 --> 00:26:42,194
You seem to forget, I am
as close to immortal as a

159
00:26:42,228 --> 00:26:46,098
man can be. Fear not,
Athena, nothing can touch me.

160
00:26:47,734 --> 00:26:51,037
Oh, how wrong you
are Hercules.

161
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,214
Capaneous...

162
00:27:03,883 --> 00:27:05,351
Who is there?

163
00:27:05,384 --> 00:27:06,719
It is I, Hera...

164
00:27:07,854 --> 00:27:09,055
What trickery is this?

165
00:27:09,088 --> 00:27:11,090
Do you not wish to rid
yourself Of Hercules?

166
00:27:11,123 --> 00:27:16,495
Did he not embarrass you, rob
you of your well

167
00:27:16,529 --> 00:27:17,830
earned manhood?

168
00:27:17,864 --> 00:27:19,031
Yes.

169
00:27:19,065 --> 00:27:25,104
You are a champion. A mortal
champion, your talents were

170
00:27:25,137 --> 00:27:26,205
hard fought.

171
00:27:26,238 --> 00:27:28,708
Hercules is but a plaything of
Zeus.

172
00:27:28,741 --> 00:27:33,613
Ha, Bold words, from a bold
man. But if you wish Hercules

173
00:27:33,646 --> 00:27:38,417
dead, you will have to do it
properly. And you will need

174
00:27:38,450 --> 00:27:40,653
the proper ingredients.

175
00:27:40,687 --> 00:27:42,288
How do you mean?

176
00:27:42,321 --> 00:27:45,858
Just listen, my human champion
and be quick about it.

177
00:27:56,502 --> 00:27:59,972
Mighty Zeus, I have tried
reason, but other measures

178
00:28:00,006 --> 00:28:03,042
must be taken if
Hercules is made to be aware

179
00:28:03,075 --> 00:28:06,345
of the dangers that constantly
swirl around him.

180
00:28:06,378 --> 00:28:09,115
I wish only the best for
my son, Athena.

181
00:28:10,282 --> 00:28:14,954
Hercules is vain, proud. He
must find some measure of

182
00:28:14,987 --> 00:28:18,390
humility, or he will never
even be aware of the dangers

183
00:28:18,424 --> 00:28:21,460
around him, and all his skills
will be for naught.

184
00:28:21,493 --> 00:28:23,596
I trust you to teach him.

185
00:28:24,631 --> 00:28:28,635
Well there is a potion
of herbs I can concoct,

186
00:28:28,668 --> 00:28:32,672
that may lessen his youthful
hubris, at least I hope.

187
00:28:32,705 --> 00:28:35,474
I must try everything to
protect him from Hera,

188
00:28:35,507 --> 00:28:38,477
and from himself, as
is your will..

189
00:28:39,646 --> 00:28:44,083
Do what you will. But
know this, if anything

190
00:28:44,116 --> 00:28:47,519
happens to Hercules
under your care, I will

191
00:28:47,553 --> 00:28:52,358
hold you responsible. And
my punishment will be

192
00:28:52,391 --> 00:28:53,893
most severe.

193
00:28:53,926 --> 00:28:55,762
Yes, Zeus.

194
00:29:13,179 --> 00:29:15,214
Hera, my heart and mind
are yours, clever Goddess.

195
00:29:45,812 --> 00:29:47,947
Did you enjoy the food?

196
00:29:47,980 --> 00:29:51,818
Ohh, Yes.. The servants
here are good, I'm

197
00:29:51,851 --> 00:29:54,520
actually starting to
enjoying my time here.

198
00:29:54,553 --> 00:29:56,889
Try this tea. It is full
of herbal extracts...

199
00:29:56,923 --> 00:30:00,927
I hope it may relax you
and perhaps open your mind.

200
00:30:02,361 --> 00:30:05,932
Since when did you become a
seer, Athena?

201
00:30:05,965 --> 00:30:08,100
And yet you always
have a remedy for

202
00:30:08,134 --> 00:30:11,137
some malady that does
not exist. But I will

203
00:30:11,170 --> 00:30:13,072
humor you yet again.

204
00:30:17,443 --> 00:30:19,912
I simply want you to
Understand what you are

205
00:30:19,946 --> 00:30:23,082
up against. You must
be free of your pride.

206
00:30:23,115 --> 00:30:25,384
My pride serves me well.

207
00:30:25,417 --> 00:30:27,820
Regardless, I will host a
dinner for you and the

208
00:30:27,854 --> 00:30:29,121
others tonight.

209
00:30:29,155 --> 00:30:34,393
I would not miss it. I can't
speak for the others warriors.

210
00:30:34,426 --> 00:30:38,030
Enjoy your rest. I hope we
might talk again later.

211
00:30:38,064 --> 00:30:41,300
Of course. Thank you..

212
00:32:40,119 --> 00:32:41,620
Has Capaneous arrived?

213
00:32:41,653 --> 00:32:45,124
Yes, He has. He seemed more
contrite than I

214
00:32:45,157 --> 00:32:46,592
would have guessed.

215
00:32:46,625 --> 00:32:48,961
I'm hosting a meal later,
To officially welcome

216
00:32:48,995 --> 00:32:50,762
everyone. Please tell
the men.

217
00:32:50,796 --> 00:32:51,763
Of course.

218
00:32:51,797 --> 00:32:53,699
Will the training be the same
tomorrow?

219
00:32:53,732 --> 00:32:54,901
Yes.

220
00:32:54,934 --> 00:32:58,070
You are a good man, Pronax.
You will teach them well...

221
00:34:42,408 --> 00:34:45,611
...So the entire food cart is
upended, gold scattered

222
00:34:45,644 --> 00:34:48,447
everywhere, but because of the
sorry state of the donkey, no

223
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:49,915
one went near it.

224
00:34:54,753 --> 00:34:56,755
Are you feeling well,
Hercules?

225
00:34:57,689 --> 00:34:59,225
I am fine.

226
00:34:59,258 --> 00:35:01,260
Perhaps you have
over indulged?

227
00:35:01,293 --> 00:35:06,332
Perhaps. I will be ready
tomorrow. Good night.

228
00:35:08,700 --> 00:35:10,636
You seem content..

229
00:35:10,669 --> 00:35:11,637
Oh, I am, Pronax.

230
00:35:13,072 --> 00:35:16,842
You have quite the way with
words Thestor. Too bad your

231
00:35:16,875 --> 00:35:19,178
skills in battle
don't quite match.

232
00:35:19,211 --> 00:35:22,514
It will be a longer day
of training tomorrow. I

233
00:35:22,548 --> 00:35:25,051
recommend you take your
leave. I look forward to

234
00:35:25,084 --> 00:35:28,120
your competitive spirits
taking hold in the morning.

235
00:35:28,154 --> 00:35:31,323
Thank you, Pronax.I look
forward to the competition..

236
00:35:31,357 --> 00:35:32,924
For its own sake.

237
00:35:32,958 --> 00:35:37,529
Indeed... A competition for
the sake of competition....

238
00:35:38,997 --> 00:35:43,001
A Competition for the glory of
it. And for the glory of the

239
00:35:43,035 --> 00:35:45,971
Gods... sounds promising.
I encourage you to continue

240
00:35:46,004 --> 00:35:47,173
with the idea,

241
00:35:47,206 --> 00:35:49,241
Thank you... I will.

242
00:35:49,275 --> 00:35:51,177
Good night.

243
00:42:17,128 --> 00:42:20,799
I am out of sorts...
I seem to have felt this

244
00:42:20,832 --> 00:42:21,800
injury all day...

245
00:42:23,068 --> 00:42:26,505
It is fine Hercules. Rest up.
See how you feel when we start

246
00:42:26,538 --> 00:42:28,173
sword training later.

247
00:42:28,206 --> 00:42:30,208
Thanks..

248
00:42:35,547 --> 00:42:39,651
It seems Hercules is only
'mighty' when it suits him. I

249
00:42:39,685 --> 00:42:42,454
wonder if he is the same
in the bed chamber?

250
00:42:42,488 --> 00:42:44,490
Convenient you can speak to
the man behind his back.

251
00:42:45,924 --> 00:42:48,093
are you his protector? Or
his pet?

252
00:42:48,126 --> 00:42:50,796
Stop this , Save it for sword
training. You will regret

253
00:42:50,829 --> 00:42:52,230
wasting your energy.

254
00:42:53,298 --> 00:42:55,300
You would be wise not to
challenge me or my honor.

255
00:42:59,738 --> 00:43:02,273
This is most unbecoming of our
station.

256
00:43:02,307 --> 00:43:05,644
True, but perhaps then you can
be the partner of Capaneous in

257
00:43:05,677 --> 00:43:07,378
sword training.

258
00:43:17,789 --> 00:43:20,091
I was looking for you.
How are you feeling?

259
00:43:21,627 --> 00:43:22,794
Fine...

260
00:43:24,029 --> 00:43:27,332
You are anything but. You were
never a good liar, even when

261
00:43:27,365 --> 00:43:28,667
we were boys.

262
00:43:30,035 --> 00:43:33,304
Abderus... I... have
lost my power.

263
00:43:35,006 --> 00:43:38,276
Perhaps you are sick? Or
perhaps if you go to a seer?

264
00:43:38,309 --> 00:43:42,313
No. I simply do not have the
strength and power I always

265
00:43:42,347 --> 00:43:44,916
had... I mean I have mortal
strength, but...

266
00:43:44,950 --> 00:43:47,586
Who wants to compete against
the sad weakness

267
00:43:47,619 --> 00:43:48,453
of us mortals?

268
00:43:48,486 --> 00:43:50,889
That is not what I meant.

269
00:43:50,922 --> 00:43:52,791
You could have fooled me.

270
00:43:53,859 --> 00:43:58,263
I know I have not bin best of
friends to you Abderus..

271
00:43:58,296 --> 00:43:59,898
but I am simply just ...

272
00:43:59,931 --> 00:44:01,166
Scared?

273
00:44:01,199 --> 00:44:05,871
Human. And apparently. I'm
subject to the same frailties

274
00:44:05,904 --> 00:44:11,810
I do not like it, Abderus... I
am not myself... I know you

275
00:44:11,843 --> 00:44:13,745
have every right to
mock me but...

276
00:44:13,779 --> 00:44:16,948
I would not do that.
You are not well, and

277
00:44:16,982 --> 00:44:19,818
no matter your temperament,
It does not please

278
00:44:19,851 --> 00:44:23,622
me. Now what will you do?

279
00:44:23,655 --> 00:44:27,793
I will... hope. But
for now please... let

280
00:44:27,826 --> 00:44:32,130
me be. I am not good
company... nor have I bin..

281
00:44:43,274 --> 00:44:46,912
I know all of you are familiar
with hand and hand Combat

282
00:44:46,945 --> 00:44:50,882
im sure you utilize your
skills in battle. As such,

283
00:44:50,916 --> 00:44:54,920
I'm looking to go beyond
basic drills. I want to

284
00:44:54,953 --> 00:44:57,623
see you utilize the
skills you do have

285
00:44:57,656 --> 00:44:59,124
and add new ones.

286
00:45:22,648 --> 00:45:25,250
Always keep a eye out
for a vulnerable point,

287
00:45:25,283 --> 00:45:29,320
an Injury you can
capitalize on. Trust me

288
00:45:29,354 --> 00:45:30,989
They will be looking to

289
00:45:31,022 --> 00:45:32,658
find your weakness as well.

290
00:45:41,733 --> 00:45:43,735
Capaneous, Abderus...

291
00:45:47,572 --> 00:45:48,640
Abderus, please...

292
00:45:48,674 --> 00:45:51,376
Abderus. Your master calls
you, Perhaps you should

293
00:45:51,409 --> 00:45:52,443
go to him?

294
00:45:52,477 --> 00:45:54,579
I need no man's help
to beat you.

295
00:45:54,612 --> 00:45:55,413
Stop this..

296
00:45:58,817 --> 00:45:59,818
No

297
00:45:59,851 --> 00:46:00,986
It was an accident...

298
00:46:01,019 --> 00:46:02,587
Stop this madness..

299
00:46:02,620 --> 00:46:03,722
You tried to kill my friend...

300
00:46:03,755 --> 00:46:05,857
I did no such thing...
He attacked me..

301
00:46:05,891 --> 00:46:09,861
He was the aggressor
You saw him, you all saw him..

302
00:46:09,895 --> 00:46:13,699
Stand down to me Hercules...
stand down or fight me in a

303
00:46:13,732 --> 00:46:17,669
battle of honor. It is my
right, is it not Pronax?

304
00:46:17,703 --> 00:46:19,504
It is your right, Capaneous.
But...

305
00:46:19,537 --> 00:46:25,476
Then it is. Yield to me.
Yield to me or fight me.

306
00:46:27,713 --> 00:46:30,048
I will fight you... at any
time or place..

307
00:46:30,081 --> 00:46:33,251
If you are not here, Tomorrow
morning at sunrise.

308
00:46:33,284 --> 00:46:36,922
I will take it as
your coward.

309
00:46:36,955 --> 00:46:39,891
I have erred in my judgment
In bringing him here.

310
00:46:39,925 --> 00:46:42,660
I am sorry Hercules.
Let me speak to him...

311
00:46:42,694 --> 00:46:45,563
No, Just let me go.

312
00:46:56,507 --> 00:46:57,675
How is Abderus?

313
00:46:59,644 --> 00:47:02,480
His ribs are clearly cracked..
But his breathing appears

314
00:47:02,513 --> 00:47:05,450
normal. He will need
much time to heal .

315
00:47:13,124 --> 00:47:15,426
Hera... it is done,
as you said...

316
00:47:15,460 --> 00:47:19,630
Of course it is. But we
Must ensure your victory

317
00:47:19,664 --> 00:47:21,199
and Hercules demise.

318
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:24,736
Victory is ensured... I can
kill him without any help...

319
00:47:24,770 --> 00:47:28,840
Do not be foolish, you
will do as I say. You

320
00:47:28,874 --> 00:47:33,144
will prepare another mixture
and coat your sword in it.

321
00:47:33,178 --> 00:47:36,782
One touch will finish him.

322
00:47:36,815 --> 00:47:38,383
But you don't
understand I can ...

323
00:47:38,416 --> 00:47:45,190
No. I am telling you to do as
I say or face my wrath.

324
00:48:04,142 --> 00:48:08,046
Athena, what do you wish to
discuss...

325
00:48:08,079 --> 00:48:10,248
Your powers are gone.

326
00:48:10,281 --> 00:48:11,582
How did you know?

327
00:48:11,616 --> 00:48:13,618
Hera gave you a potion...

328
00:48:14,585 --> 00:48:15,253
When?

329
00:48:16,454 --> 00:48:19,690
In the tea I made for you.
Capaneous snuck in my chamber

330
00:48:19,724 --> 00:48:21,827
and put it there. At
Hera's bidding.

331
00:48:27,265 --> 00:48:30,701
This is all my fault. You
warned me to the dangers, but

332
00:48:30,735 --> 00:48:32,904
I chose to ignore all
the signs.

333
00:48:32,938 --> 00:48:36,341
And now my best friend is
wounded and I face my

334
00:48:36,374 --> 00:48:37,575
doom tomorrow.

335
00:48:37,608 --> 00:48:40,211
No. You may have
lost your powers,

336
00:48:40,245 --> 00:48:43,514
but you are still a strong,
and capable man.

337
00:48:43,548 --> 00:48:46,651
You have it in you
to defeat him.

338
00:48:46,684 --> 00:48:48,887
I am but a shell
without my gifts.

339
00:48:49,855 --> 00:48:52,958
Don't you see, you are
so much more than

340
00:48:52,991 --> 00:48:55,126
your powers. That is
what I've been trying to

341
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:58,129
teach you all along. It's
your heart and mind

342
00:48:58,163 --> 00:49:00,165
that dictate your success.

343
00:49:00,899 --> 00:49:03,401
Without my powers
i am nothing.

344
00:49:04,469 --> 00:49:07,605
Then you will perish . And
I along with you.

345
00:49:07,638 --> 00:49:09,207
How do you mean?

346
00:49:09,240 --> 00:49:12,243
Zeus instructed me to
protect you. He made it

347
00:49:12,277 --> 00:49:15,313
clear, if anything should
happen to you,

348
00:49:15,346 --> 00:49:17,815
my fate would be sealed.

349
00:49:17,849 --> 00:49:20,185
But that is not fair.

350
00:49:20,218 --> 00:49:25,356
But life is not fair Hercules.
Not for you, not for me.

351
00:49:25,390 --> 00:49:28,894
Either use the powers you
have always had to

352
00:49:28,927 --> 00:49:31,462
defeat Capaneous,
or we both will perish

353
00:49:31,496 --> 00:49:32,763
for naught.

354
00:49:34,499 --> 00:49:36,567
What do I do?

355
00:49:36,601 --> 00:49:39,104
There is one thing that
may be in your favor...

356
00:49:39,137 --> 00:49:42,740
but you must decide
how best to use it.

357
00:50:02,227 --> 00:50:04,662
Hercules... I'm glad you came.

358
00:50:06,564 --> 00:50:09,867
Abderus, I'm so sorry, for
getting you in such a state.

359
00:50:09,901 --> 00:50:12,170
I didn't mean for you to
fight my battles.

360
00:50:13,371 --> 00:50:17,408
That is what friends do.
And I will survive. But you

361
00:50:17,442 --> 00:50:18,676
must do one thing for me.

362
00:50:18,709 --> 00:50:20,545
What is it? If I can, I will.

363
00:50:21,379 --> 00:50:22,713
Beat him.

364
00:50:23,848 --> 00:50:27,318
I'm not sure if I can. I've
bin poisoned at Hera's

365
00:50:27,352 --> 00:50:31,589
request. I may never regain my
Gods given strength.

366
00:50:31,622 --> 00:50:35,493
It doesn't matter. You can
beat him without it.

367
00:50:35,526 --> 00:50:37,628
I'm not so sure...

368
00:50:38,429 --> 00:50:39,430
I am.

369
00:50:39,464 --> 00:50:43,368
Capaneous is as we speak
looking to coat his sword

370
00:50:43,401 --> 00:50:44,902
in a deadly poison.

371
00:50:44,936 --> 00:50:47,872
Even better. Now listen to
me, so I may tell you

372
00:50:47,905 --> 00:50:48,940
a strategy that will work...

373
00:53:10,948 --> 00:53:12,583
Where is Hercules?

374
00:53:14,785 --> 00:53:15,520
I am here.

375
00:53:16,687 --> 00:53:18,223
I didn't think you would show.

376
00:53:18,256 --> 00:53:22,460
I fear no man... Or should I
say the puppet of a woman.

377
00:53:22,493 --> 00:53:24,695
Are you sure you both wish to
continue?

378
00:53:24,729 --> 00:53:25,663
Yes.

379
00:53:25,696 --> 00:53:26,864
Hurry up.

380
00:53:26,897 --> 00:53:28,533
Capaneous has brought
his own sword,

381
00:53:28,566 --> 00:53:29,634
as is his right.

382
00:53:30,635 --> 00:53:32,637
Do you wish to choose your
weapon, Hercules?

383
00:53:34,872 --> 00:53:37,074
These are both
sturdy and true.

384
00:53:38,709 --> 00:53:40,010
Thank you, Thestor.

385
00:53:41,579 --> 00:53:44,315
The fight will continue
until one concedes..

386
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:50,388
No concessions.

387
00:53:52,223 --> 00:53:56,727
No concessions. So it is
asked, so it is given.

388
00:53:56,761 --> 00:53:57,862
Begin...

389
00:55:30,621 --> 00:55:32,357
Why don't you fight
like a man?!

390
00:55:32,390 --> 00:55:34,592
Because there is a woman
behind you.

391
00:55:34,625 --> 00:55:37,328
Of course if you wish
to fight me like a man.

392
00:55:41,932 --> 00:55:42,933
What are you doing?

393
00:55:42,967 --> 00:55:44,068
HERCULES!??

394
00:55:45,102 --> 00:55:47,572
Your fame will no doubt rise
if you defeat the

395
00:55:47,605 --> 00:55:50,308
mighty Hercules by hand..
Unless of course you wish

396
00:55:50,341 --> 00:55:52,209
to be nothing more
than a villain!

397
00:57:08,319 --> 00:57:11,255
Stop delaying your own
death... I am better than you!

398
00:57:11,288 --> 00:57:14,525
Your beliefs will aid
in your demise..

399
00:57:38,349 --> 00:57:43,521
You are a spoiled child and an
impotent puppet.

400
00:57:53,330 --> 00:57:56,333
What have you done?

401
00:58:00,438 --> 00:58:03,374
Hera's poisons work well
huh... I guess I should know.

402
00:58:05,075 --> 00:58:07,445
You will not beat me...

403
00:58:10,014 --> 00:58:10,881
What happened?

404
00:58:10,915 --> 00:58:13,951
Be careful. His sword
is poisoned.

405
00:58:13,984 --> 00:58:15,986
How did you know?

406
00:58:17,455 --> 00:58:21,626
Its not important. Excuse me.

407
00:58:28,566 --> 00:58:32,269
We have just witnessed
the mighty Hercules without

408
00:58:32,302 --> 00:58:36,541
his might fight to victory.
This will be a tale to be told

409
00:58:36,574 --> 00:58:38,275
for the ages.

410
00:58:56,461 --> 00:58:58,328
I knew you would be
victorious.

411
00:58:58,362 --> 00:59:01,331
I couldn't have done it
without your counsel... Or

412
00:59:01,365 --> 00:59:05,302
your friendship thank you. I
will not disrespect

413
00:59:05,335 --> 00:59:06,303
either again.

414
00:59:07,237 --> 00:59:09,640
I must go see Athena, then I
will return.

415
00:59:10,941 --> 00:59:14,679
Please do. Pronax has an idea
For a games competition

416
00:59:14,712 --> 00:59:16,681
to honor the Gods of
Olympus. He needs

417
00:59:16,714 --> 00:59:18,148
help putting it together.

418
00:59:18,182 --> 00:59:20,317
Sounds like a fine idea. I
look forward to

419
00:59:20,350 --> 00:59:21,819
participating in that.

420
00:59:47,044 --> 00:59:49,780
I should have never doubted
your wisdom, Athena.

421
00:59:51,582 --> 00:59:53,918
I am sorry for all that has
happened.

422
00:59:53,951 --> 00:59:56,954
Do not be sorry. What
I learned was valuable

423
00:59:56,987 --> 00:59:59,089
And even if my power
do not return,

424
00:59:59,123 --> 01:00:00,691
I know I will be fine.

425
01:00:01,759 --> 01:00:04,929
I do not believe Hera's
powers can keep you

426
01:00:04,962 --> 01:00:08,098
from accomplishing
anything you set your mind to.

427
01:00:08,132 --> 01:00:11,702
As long as I have counselors
Such as you and Abderus,

428
01:00:11,736 --> 01:00:15,906
I Know there is nothing I
can't overcome, because I

429
01:00:15,940 --> 01:00:18,876
could not have done
it without you both.

430
01:00:18,909 --> 01:00:21,946
Now, with your approval, I
would like to stay and

431
01:00:21,979 --> 01:00:24,649
continue the warrior training.
I feel like I have allot

432
01:00:24,682 --> 01:00:28,919
to learn. And I hear
the others have devised

433
01:00:28,953 --> 01:00:31,522
some sort of competition
for Olympus...

434
01:00:31,556 --> 01:00:35,392
Very good, Hercules. I'll tell
Pronax and the others.

435
01:08:11,948 --> 01:08:15,152
Hercules recovered his
full powers by the end of

436
01:08:15,185 --> 01:08:18,055
the training. Of course
Hera's treachery was not

437
01:08:18,088 --> 01:08:20,324
sated, and the coming
years would bring Hercules

438
01:08:20,357 --> 01:08:23,727
woe and strife to weigh
down the most powerful

439
01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:27,697
of men. But that is a
story for another time.
