All language subtitles for Hercules 319 - The End Of The Beginning

[ Low 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.

[ Man ]
We really need to spend
an entire day.

Nah.

Okay, let's lock her 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.

Yeah!

Ooh!

[ Grunting ]

No more wasted time
slaving over hot cauldrons.

The Falafelometer 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!
Ha-ha. 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 turnyou
into an omelet.

Why do people
have to be like this?

[ Spits ]

We don't have
a statue of Hermes.

Guards!

[ Laughs ]

- Ahh!
-[ 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!

Wait!

-Grab him! Come on!
- Ha-ha!

- Whoa!
- You can do it!

Thief!

He's mine!

Stop!

This is really weird.

I already shaved, thanks.

Ho-ho-ho-ho!

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!
[ Guffawing ]

Someone has stopped time.

[ 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!

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."

Aha!
Now, that's the ticket.

Autolycus?

Why am I not surprised?

Okay.

I'm concentrating,
channeling my thoughts.

Unfreeze and let's--

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--

[ Gasping, 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, uh,
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!
- [ Attacker Shouts ]

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.

Ha-ha!
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.

Ha-ha! I'll go back,
and I'll get it right this time.
That's it.

Ha-ha-ha-ha! Hoo-hoo.

- Show me your stuff, baby.
- No!

Hey!

Hercules. Where'd he go?

[ Straining ]
[ Approaching Hoofbeats ]

- Look out!
- [ Whinnies, Snorts ]

Oh, no.

[ Whimpering ]

Ahh! 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 time line.

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-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--

Hel-l-lp! Aah!

[ 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.

Oh, 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.

[ Thunderclap ]

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

You go on ahead.
I'll catch up with you later.

[ Screaming ]

No-o-o!

Ooh-whee! Oh!

Oh, that was
a bitchin' light show!

Hey, remind me not
to get on Zeus's smoke 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? [ Chuckles ]
Now they're splattered
all over the landscape!

- Hey, hey.
Looks like he missed one.
- [ Bleating ]

Hey, Unc, what's up?

Just the milk
of inhuman kindness, Strife.

Watch a master.

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 ]

Heh! Ha-ha!

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

[ Grunts ]
Huh!

You.
Me?

[ Scoffs ]

Ohh!

- 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 good-bye, 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 a way 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!

[ Autolycus ]
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.

[ Bleating ]

The Golden Hind!

Aah! Oh!

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.

[ Guard ]
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
cuttin' 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.

Ho-ho! 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.
- Huh.

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!

[ Guards ]
Okay, let's go! On your feet!

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

[ Bow Snaps ]
[ Screams ]

[ Bleating ]

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-why
do we wanna use it
against Hercules?

Why do you think?

Well, uh--
Well, it'd-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.

[ Creaking ]

[ Groaning ]

Aah!

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?

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!
- Huh?

- [ Whistles ]
- Whoa! What the--

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

Oh, no!
I got him.

Give those back! Gaah!

[ Softly ]
Here you go!

[ Laughs ]

[ Moaning ]

[ Moans Loudly ]

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-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-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!

Do one thing for me.
Sleep on it tonight.

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

All right.

Tomorrow.

[ Angry Grunt ]

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.
- [ Guard ]
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 ]

- Ha-ha!
-[ Guards ] Come on!
Over there! There he is!

Ooh!

Yodelayhee!
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 oughta 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.
Ohh!

[ 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--

- Yeah!
- [ Grunting ]

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

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

"Jerkules" is your partner?
Ohh!

- What kind of Goody Two-Shoes
did you turn into?
- You watch your mouth.

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

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

Oh!
[ Thuds ]

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--
anyidea 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, Muffled ]

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--
Quick!

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

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

[ Yelping ]

Confounding, aren't I? Ha!

[ Yelping ]

-[ Guard ] He has the crystal!
- Autolycus! You're alone!

Ah,nowyou'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!

[ Overlapping Shouts ]

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 good-bye.

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

Bon app?tit.

[ 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.

Be well, Serena.

I feel we'll meet again.

I know it.

No.

[ Groans ]
[ Strife Laughing ]

- Ares!
- Whoo!

- [ Bleating ]
- It's not supposed
to happen this way!

You've only got yourself to
blame! Messing with the time
line, that's nasty business!

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!
[ Chuckles ]
Oh! [ Gasping ]

Aah! Ow! My knee!

Are you all right?
Their touch
won't hurt me?

No. They can't
hurt you anymore.

Look at that.

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.

Good-bye.

Uh, come on, come on.

Yah! Ha-ha!

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.

Haahh!

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!
Ha-ha-ha!
[ Giggles ]

She's shy.

Sh-- She's beautiful.

She is, isn't she?

Well, thank you again.

Good-bye.

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.
