[ Screaming ]

Go! To the palace!
To the palace! Hurry!

Follow me! Follow me!
No, no!
[ Woman Screams ]

- [ All Clamoring ]
- [ Screams ]

[ Woman Screaming ]

- No.
- [ Clamoring Continues ]

Go to the palace!
Where are you going?

Go!
Go to the palace!

No!
[ Screaming ]

[ Woman ]
Help!

[ Screams ]

- [ Pants ]
- [ Grunts ]

This way!
[ Groans ]

My palace shall be a shelter.
We'll tend to the wounded here.

By your word,
King Gilgamesh.

[ Groaning ]

[ Gilgamesh ]
My people.

The gods have turned against us.

As your king,
I'm asking for your strength,

now more than ever.

In return, I give you my word
that I will not rest...

until Sumeria is safe again.

But, sire,

your father is
king of the gods,

and if he's turned against
his own son,

what hope do we have?

I've sent for a man
across the seas--

a hero who will not bow down
to the will of the gods.

Perhaps, with his help,

we can restore our homeland...

to its former glory.

[ Shoveling ]
[ Gasps ]

[ Grunts ]
Oh!
[ All Laughing ]

[ Woman ]
Thank the gods!
There you go.

That was fun!
Can we do it again?

[ Laughing ]
Sorry, kiddo. Only the, uh,
first ride is free.

Besides, I don't think
your mother would approve.
Oh!

Thank you,
Hercules.
You're welcome.

[ Man ] His strength!
Just wait till
your father gets home!

[ Chuckles ]

Ha, ha, ho!
My hero! Ooh!

There you go!
[ Man ] Don't pile it up
too high!

Now, then, where were we?
Oh, yes. Your theory.

[ Laughs ]
I'm telling you, Iolaus.
The Earth is round.

Okay, let's say
for argument's sake
that it is round.

That means there are people
underneath us who are
upside down, right?

That's right.
And to them,
we're upside down.

Okay, so how come
we just don't fall off
into the clouds?

Huh?
I'm workin' on it.

[ Woman ] Who are they?
[ Man ] I don't know. They're
not from around these parts.

Huh.

[ Man ]
Set them down over there.
I'll get to them in a moment.

I beg your pardon.
Are you the one
they call Hercules?

[ Scoffs ]
Among other things.
Ow.

Can I help you?
I have traveled here
from Sumeria...

as emissary to
King Gilgamesh,

son of the almighty deity,
Ra.

[ Laughing ]
Ra?

Uh, he's not talking
about the Greek gods.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
You mean there are
other gods out there?

[ Emissary ]
They have turned against us,
Great One.

- Our cities lay in ruin,
while our people hide in fear.
- Sounds familiar.

Come to Sumeria with me.
I beg of you.

You're our only hope.

W-W-Wait--
There's, uh, no need to beg.

We'll be glad to help.

- It's about time
we broaden our horizons.
- [ Sighs ]

[ 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!

Now let me get this straight.
Your king, Gilgamesh,
he's a god?

Like you, Great One,
the blood of an immortal
flows through his veins,

but his heart
is human.

Um, Great One? Can I
have a word with you?
[ Sighs ]

- Call me Hercules.
- As you wish.

You spend too long
underwater in that well?
No.

Hit your head?
Not that
I can remember.

Little kid, uh,
hold you too tightly
around the neck?

I'm sure there's
a point to this.
The point is, Hercules,

we don't know anything
about these other gods.

[ Iolaus ] Look, it's not
as though we don't have
problems of our own.

I know these gods
are different from ours,
but people aren't.

They need help.
We cannot turn our backs
on them.

Huh?

Well, that's it. We go down
in history as the guys that
ticked off all the gods.

If something's worth doing,
it's worth doing well, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, how do we get
to Sumeria, swim?

I think I know where
we can find a boat.

[ Laughs ]

[ Screeching ]

Two barrels,
like we agreed.
Let's do this.

I ain't gonna give ya
a dinar for 'em, Nebula.
Them eels is female.

You're kidding, right?
I might take '��
em off your hands,

if you were prepared
to throw in
a little something...

extra.

[ Men Laughing ]

I'll think about it.
[ Man ]
Aye, aye!

- I don't think so.
- [ Screams ]

[ Electrical Crackling,
Popping ]

[ Nebula ]
Shocking, isn't it?

[ Electrical Crackling
Continues ]
[ Men Shouting ]

[ Screams ]

[ Shouts ]

-[ Hercules ] Doesn't look like
she needs our help.
- [ Screams ]

[ Shouting ]

I'll be with you
in a moment, boys.

-[ Hercules ]
Take your time.
- [ Groaning ]

[ Shouts ]

[ Shouting ]

- Or you can give me a hand!
- Just wanted to hear you ask.

-[ Electrical Crackling ]
- [ Screams ]

Going up.

[ Grunts ]
[ Screeching ]

Oh!
[ Men Shouting ]

- [ Eels Screeching ]
- Huh.

[ Screeching Dies Down ]

Do you have any idea
what I went through
to catch those things?

[ Panting ]
You're welcome.

My princess.

I thought we'd
never see you again.

The king will be overjoyed
to know that his sister...

is safe.

- Sister?
[ Screams ] Oh!
- Princess?

Forget it!
There's no way
I'm goin' back!

Your brother is
in trouble, Nebula.
Those people need help.

Half brother,
and those people
never needed my help.

You boys have any idea
what it's like to be
a Sumerian princess?

No. Can't say that we do.

There is no position
of power for a woman
in Sumeria.

You look pretty
and you keep
your mouth shut.

No way I was gonna
let tradition determine
the course of my destiny.

I understand how you feel,
but if we don't get there soon,
those people will die.

I don't think
you want that.

Persuasive, isn't he?

[ Nebula ]
Hopefully, the winds will be
at our backs.

Are you... all right?

[ Sighs ]
Nothin' like
leaving port.

Nebula.

See, in Sumeria,
I may be a princess,

but here I'm a queen.

My country, my borders.

I go wherever I want,
whenever I want to.

That's real power,
Goldilocks.

I don't think we've been
introduced properly.

See, my name is Iolaus.
Iolaus.

You're awfully cute
when you're angry.

I understand you better
than you think, Nebula.

Do you now? Ah.
Oh, yeah.

"My country, my borders"?

You don't like people getting
too close to you 'cause you
don't wanna be tied down.

I never said I didn't
wanna be tied down.

[ Laughs ]

[ Clears Throat ]

[ Laughs ]

[ Men Laughing, Chattering ]

[ Man ] Yeah! Some action!
Oh. Quite a grip
you got there.

This must be the hand
you use to--

Stow it, sister.
You're goin' down.

Talk to your captain
like that.

Time for a beating,
baldy.

[ Laughing ]

[ Man #1 ]
My money's on the captain!

[ Man #2 ]
You don't have any money!
My princess.

It's highly improper
for a woman of royalty
to behave in this manner.

[ Laughs ]

Boys!
[ Man ]
Let him have it, Nebula!

Our guest seems
a little tense.
Help him relax.

[ Cheering ]

[ Man ]
What's your poison? Come on!
[ Sighs ]

- She's quite a handful.
-[ Iolaus ] Yeah.
Too much of a handful.

I don't know how the crew
puts up with her.
[ Hercules ] I don't know.

They seem to be
enjoying themselves
just fine.

Come on, Hercules.
They're drunk.
They don't know any better.

Put a little muscle
into it!

You like her.

What are you, nuts?
She's stubborn and
single-minded-- hotheaded!

That's enough about you.
Let's talk about her.

Hey, hey-- If you got
something to say--
I know you--

I-I know you, Iolaus.

And sometimes when that
stubborn, single-minded,
hotheaded side takes over,

you... forget to follow
your heart.
[ Men Chanting ] Nebula! Nebula!

Is that so?
Hmm.
[ Chanting Continues ]

[ Groaning ]

Ah! Ha-ha!
[ All Cheering ]

[ Nebula Shouts, Laughs ]

[ Grunts ]

[ Mouths Words ]

[ Panting ]

You're having doubts
about what you're doing,
aren't you?

[ Gasps ]

Maybe it's not my place
to get involved with
these other gods.

I just hope I'm doing
the right thing.

And what if you aren't?
Are you prepared to fail?

That's a chance
I'll have to take.

That's the wrong answer.

-When are you gonna realize
your struggle is in vain?
- My struggle?

Save the world from evil.

As if evil were an enemy
to be kept outside
the castle walls.

It's everywhere.

- Even inside you.
- Maybe.

- That doesn't mean
I'm gonna stop trying.
-But at what cost?

Deianeira? Serena?
Your precious children?

They've all paid the price
for your arrogance.

How do you expect
to save the world, Hercules,

when you can't even save
the people you love?

Who are you?
Who are you?

I am the darkness that you hold
closest to your heart.

[ People Chanting ]

[ Shouts ]

[ Snoring ]
[ Exhales ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Men Chattering ]

Land ho!

What's the matter, Herc?
You look like you've seen
a ghost.

Maybe I did.

What happened?

I had a dream--
maybe more of a nightmare.
When I woke up, I had this.

This is it, boys.
Ride ends here.

Sure you won't
change your mind?
You came all this way.

Appreciate the effort,
but you know what they say--
you can't go home again.

Well, we tried.
Yeah.

My king.

May I present
Hercules and Iolaus.

It is an honor
to have you here,
Hercules.

The honor is mine,
King Gilgamesh.
This is my friend, Iolaus.

I only wish that
we could've met under
different circumstances.

This way.

It looks like you've got
your hands full.

Our food and water supplies
are running short.

Soon, the dead
will outnumber
the living.

Why have your gods
done this?
To punish me.

[ Gasping, Groaning ]

Not long ago,
my kingdom was attacked
by an army of pagans.

Many of our temples
were destroyed.

I led my people to battle.

I left my wife and child
behind.

When I returned,
I found them slaughtered.

I was out fighting
for the gods,

and they didnothing
to protect my family.

I lost my faith, Hercules,
in their goodness.

And now my people
are paying the price.

You can't... blame yourself,
Gilgamesh.

There's always hope.
There has to be a way
to stop this.

There is.

But I can't do it by myself.

Come with me.
I have something
to show you.

How long have you
been standing there?

Long enough.

I always knew
that you'd return.
I prayed that you would.

I'm sorry about
your family.

Youare my family now.

These tablets record
our history,

from the first days
of my people.

I remember.

When the first Sumerians
came here, it was a desert.

Then the gods fasted
for seven days on the nectar
that sustains them...

to give life
to the land.

So if we get some
of this nectar,
we can restore the land.

That's why I sent for you.

The nectar flows
from this chalice,

but it was hidden by the gods
in the middle of the pyramid,
protected by a series of trials.

Only those with the blood
of a god can reach it.

If you're willing
to come with me, Hercules,

together...
we may stand a chance.

What are we waiting for?

[ Chattering ]

It's my fault
that you left.

No, it isn't.

I put duty and tradition
before family.

The people have lost
a princess, but I lost
a sister.

I was wrong,
but you knew that
all along.

Still, I should have
been there for you.

You're here now.

You know, um,
you were right about her.

She's not bad.
Hmm.

And maybe you're not
so stubborn. [ Laughs ]
[ Laughs ]

Well, don't tell anybody.
No.

Good luck.
Yeah. You too.

[ Sighs ]

We'll be back.

[ Bird Cawing ]

Hercules.
I'm curious.

Tell me about
your Greek gods.
Well--

I don't think
they're much different
than yours.

It seems like I've spent
my whole life trying to solve
the problems they create.

Hmm. Funny.

I spent my whole life
looking to my gods
for guidance...

like a fool.

Ah, don't be too hard
on yourself.

I used to think
they had answers
that people didn't.

I guess we both learned
the hard way.

You know, I wish
I had met you
a long time ago.

Perhaps you could've
spared me some
disappointment.

I know how you feel,
'cause I lost--

I lost family too.

I wanted to give up on myself,
on the world.

Why didn't you?

[ Sighs ]
Because...

I have faith in people.
[ Laughs ]

So long as they
don't give up,
I can't either.

Mm-hmm.

[ Door Opens ]
Our water supply
has been cut off!

[ People ] Oh, no!
The aqueduct has been
badly damaged!

These people won't survive
another night without water.

We better get to fixing
that duct.

[ Man ] Sacrilege.
[ Murmuring ]

[ Nebula ]
Is there a problem?
[ Emissary ] My princess.

I must remind you that
you are in Sumeria now.

It would be improper
for you to do a man's job.

Give me a break!

You're all just gonna
stand there because you don't
want to work with a woman?

[ People Murmuring ]

- Come on, guys--
-I don't need
your chivalry, pal.

You can all just
kiss off!

[ Door Slams Shut ]

[ Murmuring Continues ]

[ Exhales ]

There's nowhere to go
but up.

Look at this.

You'll have to do the honors.
My Sumerian's a little rusty.
[ Chuckles ]

"You must walk
in the footsteps of another."

[ Cracking, Crumbling ]

I hate it
when that happens.

[ Pounding ]

"Footsteps of another."
I-I don't see anything.

We're not looking
for a trail.

We have to walk
in each other's footsteps.
What are you saying?

[ Rumbling ]

[ Gasps ]
Quick-- back-to-back.

Whoa!

[ Both Grunting ]

[ Straining ]

[ Straining ]
Like you said, only way
to go is up. [ Grunts ]

Wait!
People are dying, and they
refuse to take my help!

I never should have listened
to you and Hercules.
Nothinghas changed!

Yes! You're right!

But if you leave now,
nothing ever will!

Are you blind?

I left because I refused
to waste my life
fighting a losing battle!

So now you fight it
everywhere but here!

- Who are you to talk to me
that way?
- Someone who cares about you.

Yes, it's true,
Nebula.

Someone actually cares
about you.

And if you leave now,
you're gonna regret it
for the rest of your life.

What am I supposed to do?

Show them what
you've shown me--

That you don't take orders
from anybody but yourself.

-[ Woman Moans ]
-[ Emissary ] Oh, Deity,

our injured need water.
[ Man ]
Hear our prayers.

Please, show us a sign
that you have not abandoned us.

[ Whistles ]

Listen up, boys.
We got a lot of work to do,
and a short time to do it in.

Howdareyou interrupt
our prayers.

Your sacrilege will be
the death of us all!

I'm gonna let you in
on a little secret.

The gods aren't gonna help us.
And if you haven't figured
that out,

you're a lot dumber
than you look.

All right, boys. In my brother's
absence, I will assume
his authority, beginning now.

You can stand here
and wait for a miracle,

or you can come with me
and fix this thing.

Well, uh, I don't know
about you guys, but, um,

I'm thirsty.

[ Man #1 ]
She's right. Let's go.

[ Man #2 ]
What have we got to lose?
[ Man #3 ] I'll go too.

[ All Murmuring ]
[ Man ]
Yes.

[ Grunts ]
[ Grunts ]

Whoa!

This place isn't big
on floors, is it?

"Only a blind man can see
his way through the eye."

[ Wind Howling ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Wind Howling Grows Louder ]

I get the feelin'
this is gonna blow.

We-- We gotta find
another way to make it!

No, we don't!
We can jump!

Jump? What, do you know
something I don't know?

"Only a blind man will see
his way through the eye"--
The eye of the whirlwind!

If we don't make it,
we got a long way to fall!

We'll make it
if we have faith!

Blind faith! Aaah!

Who wants to live forever?
[ Grunts ]

[ Groaning ]

[ Clanging ]

[ Groans ]

[ Groans ]

[ Grunts ]

[ Groans ]

I got ya!

Hang on!
[ Straining ]

Oh.
[ Exhales ]

[ Sighs ]
So how are you finding
Mesopotamia?

A little breezy.
[ Sighs ]

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

[ No Audible Dialogue
Continues ]

[ No Audible Dialogue
Continues ]

[ Cheering, Laughing ]

Whoo-hoo-hoo!
[ Cheering ]

[ All Cheering ]
Oh!

[ Cheering Continues ]

Well, not bad, Nebula.

Not bad yourself, Iolaus.

Wait a minute.

Did you just call me
"Iolaus"?

I owe you a thanks.

So... thanks.

Ha!

What have you done
with the real Nebula?
All right. I deserve that.

Nah, I kind of like you
like this.

Like what?

I don't know.
Uh, off guard.

Nebula, are you blushing?

[ Laughs ]
[ Giggles ]

They'll be all right.
I know.

I never thought
I'd come back here.

But seeing my brother
and these people
in such pain--

This is the first time
that I've felt...

like I actually
have a place here.
So why do you look so sad?

Because I know that, uh--

that sooner or later,
you're gonna go back to Greece.
[ Sighs ]

And I think I might miss you.

I bet that's the last thing
you expected to hear from me.

Yeah, you're right.

But, um, I hoped
you'd say it anyway.

I can't ask you to stay,
Iolaus.

You and Hercules have a destiny
that's very different from mine.

And if you gave that up,
you'd always wonder
if you made a mistake.

[ Sighs ]
Yeah.

But the thing is,

if I leave,
I'll always ask myself
the same thing.

[ Crumbling, Creaking ]

We did it.

Let's grab some of that nectar
and get out of here.

After you, my friend.

[ Groans ]
[ Groans ]

[ Groans ]

Ahh.

None left for the gods.

What a pity.

Soon the world will tremble...

with the arrival of Dahak.

I trusted you.

Please, don't think
too badly of me.

You see, Hercules,
we're--

we're in the middle
of a war,

and in war, there's always...
betrayal.

You betrayed more
than just me.

The destruction that
you've seen across the land...

is the direct fallout
from a battle raging
high above...

between the gods
andmymaster.

You see,

when I lost my family,

I did lose my faith.

And in my deepest despair,

I heard the voice
of Dahak--

[ Grunting ]
a voice so pure,

so true,

I knew I had found salvation.

I'd like to meet him.
I bet we'd have a lot
to talk about.

You already have.

He's the darkness that
you hold closest to your heart.

[ Dahak ]
I am the darkness that you hold.

[ Gilgamesh ]
Without the nectar, the gods
won't be strong enough...

to prevent Dahak's arrival.

All he needs is the sacrifice
of a warrior heart.

You took the easy way out.

You couldn't face your pain,
so you gave up on yourself...

and everyone who believed
in you!
You are a fool, Hercules.

You're blinded by your own...
goodness.

In a way, you're your own...
worst enemy.

Wrong.

- Now I'm yours.
- [ Roaring ]

[ Laughing ]

Gilgamesh!

[ Grunts ]

[ Screams ]

[ Screaming, Clamoring ]

[ Iolaus ]
Get out of my way!

Where's Hercules?

The one god has been
good to him.

[ Electrical Crackling,
Popping ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Electrical Crackling,
Popping Continues ]

What's happened to you?

- Such fire inside,
such a warrior's heart.
- [ Gasping ]

The great Dahak has
other plans for you.

We're family.

My family has been gone
to me a long time now.

[ Crumbling, Creaking ]
[ Groans ]

[ Chanting ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Chanting Continues ]
[ Panting ]

[ Struggling ]

[ Nebula Groans ]

[ Chanting Continues ]

I call on you,
Master of the Darkness,

to consume this warrior heart
and become whole.

Show us a sign
that you are ready.

You're pathetic. You may have
sold your soul, but mine
will always belong to me!

We'll see about that.

- Gilgamesh!
- [ Chattering ]

[ Grunts ]

No more Mr. Nice Guy.
[ Iolaus ]
Hercules!

- This is really gonna hurt.
- You took the words
right out of my mouth.

[ Grunts ]

[ Screams ]

[ Roars ]

[ Growling ]

[ Exhales ]

[ Growls ]

[ Laughs ]

[ Shouts ]

[ Shouts ]

I love you.

[ Groans ]
There's nothing you can do...

to stop Dahak from entering
our world.

[ Groaning ]

It's his destiny.
[ Growls ]

And it's my destiny
to shut you up.
[ Grunts ]

Nebula!

No!

[ Groans, Screams ]

Iolaus!

- [ Growls ]
- [ Shouts ]

[ Growls ]

Dahak!

Aaah!

[ Panting ]
Oh-- Oh--

[ Groaning ]
Hang in there, buddy.

I can't.
Sure you can.
Come on.

Hercules.

- [ Exhales ]
- Hey--

Come on.

Don't you give up
on me.

Come on. Come on!
Don't you give up on me!

- Oh.
- [ Panting ]

[ Whimpering ]

I've heard stories
of sailors
who are lost at sea...

and see lights in
the northern skies.

They say the lights are
really spirits who have come
to help them find their way.

I never believed
that story until now.

I can't believe he's gone.

It's not your fault,
Hercules.

You stopped Gilgamesh.
The people are safe.

No.
It should've been me.

He loved you so much.

He wouldn't have
wanted that.

I know.

He was, uh,

my hero.
