All language subtitles for Hercules 421 - Top God

[ Zeus ]
Your mother was a good woman,
and she had a good life.

But mortal life must end.
It's part of living.

[ Hercules ]
Sounds so empty
coming from you.

I don't understand
your attitude.

I always tried
not to interfere,
in her life and in yours.

You did succeed in that.
Congratulations.

Well, what would you
have me do, hmm?
Intercede with the Fates?

Stop old Atropos cutting
your mother's thread of life?

That was destined
from the moment she was born.

It wasn't mine to do.

No, she wouldn't--

wouldn't want
special treatment
for herself,

even though she treated
everyone else that way.

What do you want?
Why are you here now?

You're at a turning point
in your life.
I want to help you.

[ Scoffs ]
You want to help me.

Did you care anything
for her?

That's not what I'm here
to talk about.

Good answer, Dad.

How are you doing?

Oh. I'm okay.

It's tough.

Yeah.

Have you seen Hercules?
Not for a while.

He's taking it hard.
He loved her.

Well, we all did.

I can't believe she's gone.
I still hear her voice.

Alcmene.

She loved you
like a son, Iolaus.
She said it many times.

You think we should
look for him?

I think he wants to be alone
for a while.

I know he's hurting.

I wish I could help.

I cared for your mother
a very great deal.

Her sweetness
and goodness...

filled my heart,

and, um,
I'll miss her smile.

You could have let us know
you cared, let her know
while she was still alive.

Oh, she knew.

I was always
a great deal closer
than you thought.

But I couldn't be
a father to you.

That's why her
being your mother
was so important.

This, uh, sentimental streak
is a little hard to swallow,
and a little late.

But not too late.
I'm your father.

You're my son.
It's time we both
acknowledged that.

[ Scoffs ]
So what do you want to do, Dad?

You want to go, uh, fishing?
Build a birdhouse?

- Maybe go to the pond
and feed the ducks?
- Your mother is gone.

You have no more family
left here.

It's time for you
to take your rightful place.

And that would be?

By my side,
ruling the gods of Olympus.

[ Thunderclap ]

[ 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!

Me and you on Olympus.
What would be the point of that?

To bring us together.
You'll rule beside me
over all the gods.

Give up your mortal self
and become a god,
full and complete.

It's within my reach
to do that.
I know it is.

You can give it,
you can take it away, but we've
been through this before.

Olympus and I
are not a good match.

That was a long time ago.
Things are different now.

You're different.

You were young then,
making young mistakes.

- I was trying to impress
a father who wasn't there.
- Fine.

The fault was mine.
Believe that, if you want.

But you had no idea
who you were then.

- And now I do.
- And now you do.

You're the champion
of mankind...

in a world that's frequently
not fair and always not easy.

The people know they can count
on you, but now it's time
for your next step.

Your true destiny...

is on Olympus.

There are too many people
who count on me down here.

You'd be more
their champion than ever.

And we'd-- we'd have a chance
to get to know each other.

There was a time
that would have meant
a lot to me.

I'm not so sure anymore.

Whoa. Whoa.
I know all the legends
about Zeus,

but when I ask what's he like,
all I get are blank looks.

Yesterday you were
through with Zeus.

"If I'm nothin' to him,
then he's nothin' to me."
Does that sound familiar?

Yeah. I know, I know.
Huh?

But I mean, he's my father.
You got a chance to know
your dad before he died, right?

I never even met mine.

What if you could?
What would you say?
I don't know.

At least I'd be able
to see him.

And I could get an idea of what
I had to measure up against.

He's King of the Gods.

Those are some
pretty big shoes to fill
Here we go.

Your dad was the King
of Corinth,

so by watching him,
you got an idea of what
was expected of you, right?

- Yeah.
- Well, that's why I want
to meet Zeus.

I want to know
what's in store for me.
Plus, I want to know my dad.

[ Man ]
Hey, if it isn't
Apollo's gal pal!

Stop it! Go away!
She's too good for
mere mortals like us!

Hey, give it back!
My purse!

Leave me alone!

Here, catch!
Whoa!

Ooh, Ariadne's getting mad.

[ All ] Whoa!
What's the matter?
Aren't we good enough for you?

You guys are a little short
in the manners department.

He apologizes.

[ Yelling, Grunts ]

Enjoy the rest!

- [ Ferocious Yelling ]
- Whoa!

[ Screaming ]

Ah-ha!

[ All ]
Whoa!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Whoo!

Hey, Hercules.
Nice moves, brother.

Nice moves yourself...
brother.

- I'm Apollo!
- If he's Apollo,
how is it I can see him?

-When you got it, flaunt it.
-This is Jason, King of Corinth.

- Heard a lot about you, Herc.
- You have?

When Zeus and Hera
are around each other,
your name comes up a lot.

Zeus talks about me?

Hera does most
of the talking, but hey,
ain't that the way it is?

Apollo,
you were wonderful.

Ariadne,
my brother, Hercules.

Ooh, are you a god too?

Uh-- Kind of.
We have the same father.

This is Jason.

Come on. Let's go meet
some of the gang.

Uh, Jason,
what do you think?

Uh, I got--
Yeah, I got stuff to do.

Yeah, go on.
It'll give you a chance
to find out about Zeus.

Let's ride in style.

I'll take it easy at first.
You'll get the hang of it
pretty quick.

Whoo-hoo-hoo!
Oh, wow!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

[ People Laughing ]

[ Man ]
You wouldn't catch me dead
wearing sandals with wings.

[ Man #2 ]
This is the life!

[ Man #3 ]
Tell me about it!

[ Woman ]
Help me. Help me. Thank you.
Here it is.

Mmm. Apollo.

Hey.

How you doin'?
[ Man ] I'll have some
of what he's having.

[ Woman ]
In your dreams.

Momus.
Good to see ya.

[ Chuckles ]
Kicked out of Olympus
again, I hear!

Gods can be such creeps.

They've got no sense of humor.
Can't take the truth
about themselves.

Well, if you didn't
throw it in their faces.

- Meet Hercules.
- You're gonna give slumming
a bad name.

Perhaps it's
your mortal sweetie.

Now here's Mr. Half and Half.
[ Laughing ]

Oh, good to see you.

Go powder your nose.

I didn't realize gods hung out
with mortals like this.

They have their uses.

Don't mind if I do.
A little dab will do ya.

Have some.
It's ambrosia.

[ Man ]
Walk away, little human.
Walk away.

- I thought only gods
were supposed to eat that.
- You're the son of Zeus!

You're entitled.
If not you, then who?

Welcome, brother.

No more half god,
half mortal.

You're all god now.

Hi.

You look different.

He gave you ambrosia.

Yeah. Yeah, he did.

Well? What's it like?
I don't know. It's like--
I can't even describe it.

Oh, I wish I were a god.

I'm the son of Zeus.
The situation is
a little different.

It's okay.
[ Laughs ]

Here, watch this.

[ All Gasping ]

Oops.

Didn't your mother
teach you not to play ball
inside the house?

Hey.
I want to meet Zeus.

Later. Let's go
before you totally
trash my temple.

I wanna see
what you've got.

Very amusing.
[ All Chattering ]

[ Woman ]
So both dreamboats!

Here it is! You lose,
you polish my board.

All right.
What if I win?

- Then the board is yours.
- I've got this board.

It's a board.
It's not my board.

Ready!

Set!

Go!
Whoa!

Go! Go! Go!

Come on!

[ All Cheering, Whooping ]

Yahoo!

Not bad, bro.

Whoo-hoo!

Careful, bro.
[ Laughs ]

Uh-uh-uh.

Yeah!

Come on. Catch up!

Hey, hey!

Yeah!

- Are you chicken?
- Not today, brother.

- Whoo! Yeah!
- [ Chortling ]

Whoo-hoo!

Yeah!

Whoo! Oh, yeah!
That was awesome!

Hoo-yah!
The best day of my life!

Yeah!

This is the worst day
of my life.

I've never felt so--

[ Sighs ]

All I can do is...

put a marker
at the place she's buried.

I wish I was more
of a sculptor.

[ Chuckles ]

But honestly, Iolaus,
I never believed
this day would come.

We should get away
from this place.

I mean, everywhere you look,
another memory.

I need those memories.
I don't want to get away
from them, you know?

It's all
I've got left of her.

- Well?
- Well what?

I need a decision.
Yes or no.

It's not an easy decision
to make.

Why not? It should be.

It's what your mother
would want.
[ Scoffs ]

You're always fretting
about the greater good
for humanity,

and this will be
your opportunity.

You could do so much more
for them on Olympus.

I need an answer.

If you need an answer
right now, then it's no.

Ah, don't be foolish
and hasty.

An important part
of this is us.

Every time
I really needed your help,
you let me down.

I'm not talking about a kid
missing a dad.

I'm talking about my family
and Serena dying when you could
have done something to stop it.

Listen to yourself!
"Poor me! Poor me!"

You're better than that.
Aren't you?

Because if you're not,
I've made a big mistake.

Let's say you have.

So you can be on your way
like always.

I'll give you time,

but not much.

Hercules.
Jason's back.

You up
for some dinner?

- Zeus wants me
to go to Olympus.
- Zeus?

W-Wait, wait.
You mean Zeus was here?
Like really here? Zeus?

He was right here.

Olympus, huh?
For good?

- That's what he's got in mind.
- Yeah, but you're not going.

Are you?

He makes a good argument
for it.

You are going.

Herc, I gotta tell you.
I think this is
a really bad idea.

[ Young Hercules ]
I thought you'd be as happy
about this as I am.

I'm thrilled for you.
I really am.

Think about it.

I mean,
we can doanything.

[ Scoffs ]
No,youcan do anything.

You're a god. That's great.
But I'm still a king.

Right now I'm very busy, so go
take your little disappearing
act somewhere else.

- What's eating you?
- [ Sighs ]

Raiders
from across the border.

If I go after 'em,
it could cause war...

and if I don't,
I'll look weak.
Is that it?

Oh!
[ Laughing ]

Did you see that?
It's no problem, man.
I'll take care of it.

I don't want you
to take care of it.
It'smyproblem.

I'll deal with it.
No.

Your problem is
you're jealous.

- Of you?
- Of me.

Will you stop doing that!

[ Grunts ]

Whoa!
What happened to you?

I just don't understand
some people.

I mean, Jason is one
of my best friends.

And he resents you
being a god.
Yeah.

Yeah, I think he does.
What can you do?

Get used to it, pal.
They all do.

They may bring you
an occasional basket of fruit
to stay on your good side,

but face it,
mortals resent us.

They won't admit it,
but they do.

Think so, huh?
You bet I do.

Come on.
Let's go have some fun.

- This is great!
They can't see us.
- Straighten that helmet.

[ Blows ]

[ Apollo Clears Throat ]
Get the belt.

I've sent word
to our neighbors--

[ Snickering ]

- [ Stifled Laughing ]
- We're crossing the border
after bandits.

[ Giggling ]

If you encounter soldiers,
do not engage.

Your commander has
my letter to the ki--
[ Gasping ]

Your Highness!
[ Laughing ]

Stay back! Stay back!
Get back in line!

Gosh!

I'm sorry, man.
I didn't mean to--

Didn't mean to what?
Embarrass me?

No, thanks.
Come on. Let's go.

[ Snickering ]
I'm-- I'm sorry.
I really am.

[ Laughing ]

- You shouldn't
have done that.
- Me? It was your idea!

I didn't mean to
embarrass him like that.

- You took it too far.
He's a king.
- He's nothing.

He's my friend.
That's the old you talking.

You're a god now.
Act like it.

[ Zeus ]
What in Tartarus
do you think you're doing?

What?
I said--

I heard what you said.
What's it to you?

Now, you watch
your mouth, boy!

You don't speak
to your father like that!

You're Zeus?

You really Zeus?

Is there something wrong
with your hearing?

I just said I was,
didn't I?

Oh, I'm really
disappointed in you,
Hercules.

What? Why? How?

We just met.
You should never have
eaten ambrosia.

Apollo said--

I-- I don't care
what he said!

You should have
known better!
I can't believe this.

You know, the only reason
I did it was to find you.

If you were meant to be a god,
you'd have been born a god.

You are what you were
meant to be, what the Fates
destined you to be.

You're mad at me.

I finally figured out a way
to get your attention,
and you're mad at me.

Oh, you got my attention,
all right, but I don't know
if you're gonna like it.

I'm really sorry
that the first time we met
was like this.

I can't help that now.
Well, I wouldn't waste time
feeling sorry for yourself.

Not only for me.
I feel every bit
as sorry for you.

She would have
loved it.

Yeah.

Hercules, Jason and I
have been talking, and, uh,

well, we understand
that our friendship
is gonna be part...

of whatever decision
you make,

and, well, what I said before
about it being a bad idea,

I was just being selfish.

What I really want
is what's best for you.

We think it could be
the right thing for you,
Hercules, to go to Olympus.

Yeah.
Maybe Zeus was right.

He is right.
I think I could do better
for mankind as a god.

But, Iolaus,
so much would change.

Yeah, going to Olympus
would be a big step.
You're right.

It would make
a lot of things different.

People would be better off
with you, you know, up there.

That's right. You'd be keeping
Ares and Discord in line,
right where they live.

No more innocent mortals
being caught in the cross fire.

- Why are you trying
to sell this to me?
- We're not trying to sell it.

We're trying to
make sure you look at it
with open eyes.

Yeah.

Herc, we both know
there's an empty place
in your heart...

where your father should be.

And maybe Zeus has changed.

Now, why would you say that?
What would make him change?
[ Jason ] You would.

Yeah. How you've lived
your life, what you've
done with your life.

You always say,
"Follow your heart."

[ Iolaus ]
That's what you
should be doing now.

In my heart,
something tells me
this is the thing to do.

Mother really wanted me
to make peace with Zeus.

But in my gut, this...

becoming a god is, uh,

not to be taken lightly.

Hey. Hercules.

Why are you walking?
Gods don't walk
to get around.

I do a lot of things
gods don't do.

You do. I noticed that.
I think it's nice
you let people see you.

Apollo only does it
when he's showing off.
He does a lot of that.

You expect humility
from the god they call
"The Shining One"?

- He's just having fun.
- Usually at some poor, helpless
human being's expense.

That would be me, I suppose.
I'm not some helpless human.

I happen to like Apollo.
More importantly,
you should like yourself.

- Doesn't it bother you
the way he treats you?
- Maybe. A little.

Well, isn't this sweet.

- You sure make a cute couple.
- We were only talking.

About my favorite subject--
me.

[ Chuckling ]
Hmm.

You like her, don't you?

- Of course I like her.
- I don't mind sharing her.

- Apollo!
- Ah. Second thoughts.
She's yours.

My gift to you.
I hope you have as much fun
with her as I did.

Don't I mean anything
at all to you?

Sure, honey.
You mean a good time.

[ Grunts ]

What's wrong with you?
You wouldn't have me
lie to her, would you?

What can I say?
The truth hurts.

How could you say that
to her though?
She's only a human.

She means nothing to us.
[ Chuckling ]

We're gods!

Yeah, we are.

[ Quiet Weeping ]

[ Sniffling ]

Thought you didn't do
that god stuff.

I was in a hurry.

About what Apollo said--

It doesn't matter to me.
It shouldn't to you.

That's not it.

How can he say it?

I thought I meant
more to him.

Did you really?

No. I guess I knew
what I was to him.

But the chance
to play with gods--

And he paid attention
to me.

It was like...

being with Apollo
would make me special too.

No, huh?

I think you are special,
Ariadne,

but not because
of Apollo.
[ Woman Screams ]

[ Gasping ]

Hi, guys!
[ Laughs ]

- Ah, don't go!
- [ Woman ] Hurry!

[ Laughing ]

[ Screaming, Gasping ]

Ha, ha!

I'm back!

Whoo! Hoo-hoo!

Hey, bro. Watch this.

Heads up, baby bro.

Hey!

You are determined
to spoil my fun.

Looks that way.
I don't get it.

I open the ultimate door
for you, made you a god.

This is how
you say thanks?
No.

No, thanks.
You did that for you,
not for me.

So what, now you think
you're pretty hot stuff?

Hot enough.

Tell you what--

Meet me this afternoon,
and we'll see who's top god
around here.

One condition.

Oh, what's that?
You want rules?

No. I win,
you leave these people
alone for good.

[ Scoffs ]
Okay.

Easy enough.

Get out of my way, idiots!

You're getting under
just about everyone's skin,
aren't you?

Well, charm seems
to run in the family.

- Well, Apollo'll knock some
of that cockiness out of you.
- [ Sighs ]

I need to ask you
for a favor.

No, I'm not gonna help you
with the fight.

I wasn't meant to be a god.
I don't wanna be one.

- It's a little late for that.
- Can't you take it from me?

You'd be no match for Apollo,
unless you're a god.

Half mortal, half god.

You wouldn't stand a chance.
I'm willing
to take that chance.

[ Grunts ]

Gettin' good.
Gettin' real good.

[ Yells, Grunts ]

[ Sighs ]

Can I play?

Not gonna disappear again
on me, are you?

Nice job.
Thanks.

Nah. I'm not
in that club anymore.
Couldn't pay the dues.

Getting better.
Who? You or me?

Both, I think.

Listen, man,
about the other day--

Forget it.

I-- I'm sorry, man.
I didn't--

I know. I knew then,
and I know now.

Good.
I wanted you to know.

I gotta go.
Where you goin'?

I need to settle something
with Apollo.

I'd like to see that.

Mind some company?
Thought you'd never ask.

[ Chattering ]

dddd [ Woman Vocalizing ]

Hercules!

- Glad you could make it, bro.
- Let her downnow.

[ Man ]
He wants Apollo
to take her down.

I want to make it interesting.
You know, raise the stakes.

What've you done?
You've lost your godhood.

I haven't lost anything.
Gave it back.

Oh, so I guess you want
to back out now, huh?

Nobody's backing out
of anything.

But let Ariadne go.

Go and get her.

Apollo!
[ Grunts ]

- Yeah!
- [ Man ]
Let him have it, Apollo!

[ Woman ]
You're the man!

[ Both Yelling ]

Whoa!

[ Screaming ]

You can tell
he's not one of us.
He's too good.

Whoa!
[ Grunts ]

This is boring me.
I'm out of here.

[ Ariadne Screaming ]

[ Screams ]

- [ Screaming Continues ]
- [ Crowd Gasping ]

Are you okay?
Can you stand up?

Yeah. Thank you.

I am so grateful.

You saved my life,
and you opened my eyes.

You're gonna be just fine,
Ariadne.

Yeah, I think so,
but I feel bad about you.

I mean, you had a chance
to be with your father,

and you lost it.

Well, not altogether.

Being a god isn't all
it's cracked up to be.

[ Sighs ]
It's a hard lesson,
but one I'll never forget.

You learned a lot
that day.

I learned a lot
about myself.

I wanted to be something
I wasn't.

Being a full god
was not for me.

No, not then.

Were you disappointed
that I turned my back
on being a god,

turned my back on you?

I, um--
I was never more proud.

But you had other
lessons to learn,
a life to live.

You could see that
even then.

Well? Hmm?

What's your answer?
Will you join me
on Olympus?

[ Chuckles ]

My friend.

Hey.

My brother.

I'm ready to go.
