All language subtitles for Hercules 517 - The Academy

The bridge is out.
I noticed.

Guess we double back
and take the long road
around the canyon.

No time. I gotta get to
my daughter at her academy.

And this is
the fastest way.

Besides, I prefer to fly.

Whoo-hoo!

Whoa, mama!

Come on. Jump.
I'll catch ya.

Uh, pass.

I don't think
I have your backbone.

But good luck anyhow.

Thanks, but, um,
Amazons make their own luck.

See ya.
Uh, hey.

- What do they call you?
- Trouble.

But you can call me Lilith.
[ Chuckles ]

[ Jason ]
It'll be great to see
the old school again.

Feels like
it's been forever.
It has been forever.

We're getting old, Jason.
Speak for yourself.

Um, are they expecting us?

Oh, I'm sure the headmaster
got my letter.

He's got a tough act
to follow. Cheiron was
one of a kind.

Technically, he was
two of a kind.

See, on my world, the academy
was a center of learning
of the black arts.

Cheiron ruled it with
an iron fist. He turned
the Sovereign into a tyrant.

Well, don't worry.
That wasn't our Cheiron.
If you say so.

Iolaus, repeat after me.
After me.
[ Chuckles ]

Change is good.
Change is good.

I will not run from it.
I will not run--

[ Man Shouting ]
Bye!

[ Shouting ]
[ Gasps, Whimpering ]

[ Voices Shouting ]

[ Shouting Continues ]

That's quite a show.

I'll cover backstage.

[ Shouting ]
[ Whimpering ]

[ All Shouting ]

Odds bodkins, man!

A pox on your father's house,
for I shall roodle titwillow
and jump Jim Crow.

[ Gasps ]
[ Shouting ]

[ Screaming ]

[ Grunting ]

Wait! Look!
Huh?

[ Laughs ]

These guys aren't thugs,
Hercules. They're too good.

You're telling me.

Let me guess.
It slices and dices.

And if you act now,
you get a free butt-kicking.

But wait. There's more.

[ Man ]
Forward, men!

Let me go!

Retreat!

Men, let's go!

So, I guess those clowns
have gone back to whatever
circus they came from, huh?

Recognize
the attack pattern?

The same one Cheiron
taught us when we were kids.

They came from the academy.
[ Whimpers ]

[ 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!

Gangway!

[ Boy ]
Come back here!

[ Boys Shouting
Indistinctly ]

[ Boy Groans ]

[ Iolaus ] So, this is where
you guys learned to be heroes.
Guess they start 'em young.

Looks like they've lowered
the age of admission.

Any younger,
they'd be breast-feeding.
Whoa!

Okay, okay.
I think playtime is over.

Uh, these used to be padded.

Yeah? Well, the instructor
says they're not gonna be padded
in the real world, so why here?

Maybe so you live
to see the real world, hmm?

- Oh, here.
Let me give you a hand.
- [ Scoffs ]

I never asked for your help.
None of us did.

Tabor.

By the gods,
you're Cheiron's boy.

The last time I saw you,
you were about knee-high.
And dribbling.

- Nothing changes.
- Wait a minute.

Your father was a Centaur.

Guess you didn't
inherit his, you know--
[ Neighs ]

equine things.

No. It looks like it was
your friends who inherited
the horse's ass.

[ Chuckles ]
Did he just call me--

Um, yes, he did. Iolaus, why
don't you go over there and play
nice with the other children.

No, no, but he called me--
Just go-- go play nice.

We'll catch up with you.
You, I remember.
Who are you?

- It's me, Jason.
- Jason?

As in Argonaut Jason?
Jason-- King of Corinth,
Jason?

Well, ex-king.
The crown still fits.

Shape up, cadets.
It appears we're in
the presence of greatness.

Yeah, right.
I'm outta here.

Uh, you'll have
to excuse Tabor.

Being the son of Cheiron,
he sometimes thinks
that he owns the place.

I'm Zylus.

Nice to meet you, Zylus.
I'm, uh-- I'm here
to see the headmaster.

Oh. Oh, of course.
He's right upstairs,
so if you want me to show you.

Oh, thanks,
but I know where it is.

Yeah. If memory serves,
you were asked...

to find your way there
on more than one occasion.

Speak for yourself.
And watch out for this guy.

I'm glad you made it.

Are you leaving?

They don't need
both of us here.

Ah. Whoa, whoa, wait, wait.
I'm-- I'm just visiting.

Suit yourself,
but I'm not staying.

Well, I can see that.
You wanna tell me what's wrong?

You know the worst thing
about growing up, Hercules?

You forget what it was like
to be young.

I'm sorry.

I just don't understand
these children anymore.

Well, you will.
You just have to have patience.

That's easy for you to say.

What kind of example
are you setting for them...

by walking out the door
when they need you most?

They don't need me.
They need a drill sergeant.

Half of them just wanna
become mercenaries for money.

Money. Well, I'm sorry.
That's not why
I became a teacher.

- Wait.
- [ Groans ]

That's a bad bruise.
How'd that happen?

Accident.
I ran into a wall.

Does the wall
have a name?

[ Sighs ]
Look.

I was attacked
on my way here.

Someone obviously
wants us out of the way.
Someone inside.

Just let me help.
I'm sorry.

Good-bye.

[ Sighs ]
It's never easy.

Excuse me.

Zylus, I'd like
to speak to the cadets.

Attention.

Everyone, this is Hercules.

We all know who he is.
Now, listen up.

He's got an announcement
to make.

They're all yours.

Your headmaster left
on an emergency.

Until we can find a replacement,
I'll be taking over.

[ Students Murmuring ]

As you may know,
I, uh-- I graduated
from this academy.

And from what I can tell,
a lot has changed since then.

And not all of it
for the better.

Now I know some of you are here
to learn, but I also know
that some of you are not.

To those that are here
to uphold the traditions
of this academy,

I promise... I will not
let you do it alone.

As for the rest of you,
whatever you may have done
before today,

well, that's your business.

But from this day forward,
whatever happens here,

it's my business.

You're dismissed.

- You couldn't have
said it better.
- Actually, you could have.

I noticed an incorrect pronoun
and two misplaced modifiers.

And also, if you wanna
know the truth,

your sentence structure
is just a little unwieldy.

Well, thanks for the tip,
Professor.
You're welcome.

You've just earned yourself
a tenure on my faculty.
Congratulations.

Me, a teacher?
Yep.

Anything I can do?
You don't think
I'd forget about you.

[ Zylus ]
Excuse me.

We just wanted to pledge
our full allegiance, sir.

Oh, well, thank you,
but please, call me Hercules.

Yes, sir.

Okay. Uh, well,

you can start by putting
the protective padding
back on the training staffs.

Yes, sir.

You heard him, boys.
Let's get to work.
What now?

Now we've got a school to run.
What about those cadets
who attacked us before?

Not to worry.
They'll try again.
Come on, Jason.

Well, good.

Space is pretty tight
around here.

We're talking about
adding on. Maybe building
a whole new wing.

Hmm. Nothing like
a school project to get
everyone working together.

This used to be
the music room.
[ Chuckles ]

Either I'm out of touch,
or tubas are getting
more deadly.

Swords, body armor.

Well, we're very proud
of our academy, sir,

and we like to be able
to defend it.

Defend it?
I've seen entire armies
with less.

Get the cadets together.
We're gonna burn all this.

Sir?

It's easy to teach kids
to pick up a weapon.

What we have to do
is train them to use the ones
they already have.

We'll get rid
of the weapons.
Good.

[ Grunting ]

[ Man ]
Faster,
you little maggots!

You're not getting any younger.
Fifty more!
[ Children Panting ]

Hey, lighten up.
They're kids.

That's why I'm trying
to make sure they can
take care of themselves.

Shouldn't they be learning
multiplication or how to read?

Those classes
were discontinued.

Well, then we'll just have
to start 'em up again.

Yes, sir.

[ Boy ] Is he gone?
Some example
these guys are setting.

Yeah. Well, I guess
there's a bright side.

Sometimes you can learn more
from watching an idiot than you
can from listening to a genius.

I couldn't agree more.
Best of luck.

Thank you.
Where you going?

You wanted to teach 'em
how to read.
Now's your chance.

They're toddlers.
Jason, I can't teach toddlers.

-[ Children Shouting ]
- Jason!

Thanks, Tabor. I'm gonna need
all the help I can get here,
from you most of all.

Why? 'Cause I'm
my father's son.

Yes. And the rest of the cadets
are looking to you
to set an example.

Well, don't expect
too much.
I'm not a half-god.

One of the most important
lessons your father taught me...

was that the more
you keep something inside,
the more it eats away at you.

You wanna tell me
what's on your mind?

All I ever heard growing up
was what a great cadet
you were.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I've been standing in
your shadow long enough.

The kid seems to have
a pretty big chip
on his shoulder.

Yeah, well,
we were young once, right?
[ Chuckles ]

Remember when
we built this?

Our good-bye gift
at graduation.

Yeah, the Wild Bunch--
you, me, Iolaus, Lilith.

Lilith? Wow.
There's a name I haven't
heard in a long time.

Remember how angry she was
when she first came here?

Growing up torn between us
and her life with the Amazons.

Was it my imagination,
or, uh,

you know,
were you two sort of--
[ Clicks Teeth ] you know--

I believe it was called
going steady at the time.

Ah.
She was my first love.

I tried talking her out
of going back to her tribe,

but bad timing, I guess.

Hmm.
[ Lilith ] My timing's
improved a lot since then.

No kidding.
Lilith.

- Yeah. Hey.
- [ Chuckles ]

Wow.

What are you doing here?
Well, I'm here
to visit my--

-[ Iolaus Shouting ]
-Iolaus.

Stop. Stop. Over here.
Come on. March!

Would you look at that?
The gang's all here.

Not exactly.
Lilith, there's--

I'll tell her.
Why don't we take a walk?

[ All Screaming ]

We're gonna go this way.
Come on!

But he looks
so much like him.

I know. And calling him
Iolaus, that really takes
some getting used to.

But even though
he's not the same person
we grew up with,

in a way,
they share the same heart.

Then I know I'll like him.

I tried finding you often.

But the Tellacore Amazons
aren't easy to track.

Well, you had a kingdom to run.
I know that.

I was never
too busy for you.

Our lives took separate paths,
Jason, but...

there's a bond
that we've always shared.
I know.

No. No, you don't.
[ Girl ]
Mother.

- Mother.
- Ah, Seska.

I want you to meet Jason,
your father.

Hey.

I have so much to tell you
about how the semester is going.
I can't wait to hear about it.

We'll catch up
when you're done.
And maybe sometime we could--

Yeah, maybe.

We have a daughter.
We have a daughter!

Why didn't you tell me?
What would you have done? Raise
her as Princess of Corinth?

Why not?
Because she's an Amazon.

You bounced between worlds
growing up. What made you
think Seska couldn't handle it?

It was bad enough
I had to grow up with
an identity crisis.

I wasn't about
to hand one down
to my daughter.

But where do you think
your strength
came from, Lilith?

Ask yourself
"Who am I?" enough times,

sooner or later you're
bound to find an answer,
and you did.

Seska had a right
to find hers.

I never denied her
that right. She's known
about you since she was little.

We Amazons don't raise
our daughters
to hate men, Jason.

Only to rely
on their own inner strength.

If Seska had ever
asked to see you,
I wouldn't have hesitated.

So why now,
after all this time?

Because now she's ready.

She just doesn't have
the words to ask
for your affection.

She doesn't have to
ask for it!

Jason, I--

I'm glad to see you again.

- [ Shouting ]
- Calm down. Be quiet.

- Please! Please!
-Be still. Come on, children.
Be still.

Mr. Iolaus, there's
a bogeyman behind that door.

No, there isn't.
Yes, there is.
I'm scared.

Look. Why don't you
go and sit down,

and then I will prove
to you there is no bogeyman
behind the door.

This is gonna
be good.

See?

[ All Laughing ]

[ Boy ]
Surprise. It's flour power.

You sure about this?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure.

Thanks for your help.
I didn't do it for you.

This is my academy too.
I thank you anyway.

Why are you really here?
Out of obligation
to my dad?

No. Out of respect.

My own father
was never there for me,

but Cheiron was.

I'm not about to let anyone
destroy what he built.

I never really had a chance
to say good-bye to him.

I was in Syros when he died.

He knew how much
you loved him.
Yeah, I guess so.

Tabor, I need a favor.

My friends and I were attacked
on the way here by cadets. I
need your help to weed them out.

What makes you think
I wasn't one of them?

Because I'm not the only one
who wants to keep your
father's memory alive.

[ Breathing Deeply ]

So, uh, why is six
afraid of seven?

Because seven eight nine.
Are you trying to bond with me?

"Trying" being
the operative word.

Look. It's not that I have
anything against you.

It's just that I've never
needed a father, and I don't
intend to start now.

And I don't need
to be needed.

If nothing else,
I'd like us to be friends.

Then you better start coming up
with some better jokes.

I'll second that.
[ Zylus ]
Hey.

Follow me.
We may have some trouble.

[ Boys Chuckling ]

Hey, there.

Listen. Um, I saw you
talking to Hercules.

Yeah. So?

So? So, you know,
what were you talking about?

Nothing.

Not so fast,
horsey boy.

If you were talking
about us,

we might have a bit
of a problem.

Everything all right,
fellas?

Oh. Yeah, it's great.

[ Chuckles ]

There's a lot of anger
in that kid.

I'm sure he appreciates
your concern.

Well, I hope so, sir.

Come on. What are we
waiting for? Let's get
these guys out of here.

Once they're out of the way,
we'll be back in charge.

Patience.

The first strike
of any engagement...

is psychological, all right?

Now, boys,

school is in session.

Have you seen Hercules?
So we're still speaking?

We never stopped.

There's something
I've been wanting
to ask you.

What we had, did it mean
as much to you
as it did to me?

You think I cried
for a whole season
after I left here...

'cause I missed geometry?

Jason, you were my first love.

That makes us
kind of linked for life.

[ Seska ]
Hey, watch this!
In more ways than one.

[ Shouting ]
[ Chuckles ]

[ Girl Gasps ]

Excuse me, sir.

I just wanted to reiterate
on behalf of myself and
the other cadets...

our support for what you
and Hercules are really
trying to do here, you know.

What an honor it is
for someone as fresh
and young as me...

to work with someone
that's experienced
and seasoned as you.

Thank you. I'm glad
we can count on your support.

Oh, sir,
it's my pleasure.

[ Zylus ]
What a great man.

That Jason sure
is something, huh?

Ex-king,
legendary Argonaut.

Tell you what. He upholds
the finest traditions
of this academy.

It's a shame about his, um--
Oh, no, forget it.
His what?

Well, it's just that, uh,

I hear he had a bit
of a drinking problem.

But I'm sure that's
from the past, you know.

[ Groans ]

Are you all right?
Mm-hmm.

Just need some air.

- [ Grunts ]
- [ Gasps ]

Looks like I spoke too soon
about our new teacher, huh?

Look out. Coming through.

- Hey!
- Pathetic lush.

[ Jason ]
Sorry. I don't--

Whoa.
Come on. Come on.

Let's get you out
of here, okay?
I'm all right.

What is wrong with you?
Hello, sweetheart.
I'm not drunk.

Don't! You're hurting me!

[ Boys Laughing ]

[ Sighs ]
I'm starting to see
straight again.

There's only seven fingers
on each hand now.

Well, good.
Now you're back to normal.

What happened?

They must have put henbane
in your food.

[ Moans ]
I embarrassed Seska
in front of her friends.

No. Look,
once she understands,
it'll be fine.

This was more than
just a prank, Jason.

Time to give them
a wake-up call.

Fear brings out
the worst in people.

Anger, prejudice, ego--

there's only one thing
that can conquer it,

and that's courage.

Courage brings out
the best in us.

Hope, daring, compassion--

these things are the foundation
of integrity,

something the upperclassmen
seem to know nothing about.

Well, it's time to stop
being afraid of them.

[ Stammering ]
I can, uh--

You've corrupted everything
Cheiron stood for, Zylus,

and that's an offense
I take very personally.

You're expelled.
That goes for all
of Zylus's followers.

We know who you are.

Cheiron was a coward.

This academy was nothing
before me.

[ Chuckles ]
Good-bye.

I don't think
you wanna do this.

Well, you're right, but
you've left me with no choice.

Fine.

All right, it's time to put
this place back on track.

[ Grunting ]

[ Panting ]

Don't worry. Only way to learn
is by making a mistake.

I've got it.
Thanks.

Maybe you could
give him a chance.

It was Zylus who spiked
his food, you know.

I heard.

Why should I set myself up
for disappointment?

And what's it
to you anyway?

I'd give anything
for another day with my father.

Seska, you got a lifetime
ahead with yours.
Trust me.

If you don't accept that gift,
you will be disappointed...
in yourself.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Children Laughing ]
Okay, now we're gonna
learn how to add.

Hey! Hey, now that is all
fun and games...

until somebody loses an eye.

No, stop. Sit down.
Stop. Listen!

I'm serious.
Stop laughing.

This is boring.
[ All ]
Yeah!

-[ Boy ]
You're no fun.
- [ All ] Yeah!

- I still want a pony.
-Yeah!

I just wet my pants.
[ All Laughing ]

Quiet!

[ Shouting ]

All right, great.
[ Iolaus Shouts ]

Oh, boy.
I have had it.

I've tried everything.
I've tried laying down the law.
I've tried putting my foot down.

But nothing works.
They're walking all over me!

Iolaus, they're children.

No, they're not.
They're demon spawn.
They're minions of evil.

- They're the army
of darkness.
- [ Chuckles ]

How am I supposed to teach them
when all they wanna do is laugh?

- I think you just answered
your own question.
- Huh?

Be yourself.
Make learning fun.

And if that doesn't work,
remember. You're bigger
than they are.

Is that a joke?

No.

I'm bigger than they are.
I'm bigger than they are.

I'm bigger than they are.
I'm bigger than they are!
I'm bigger than they are.

[ Chattering ]

Hey, kids.
[ Blathering ]

[ Clucking ]

dd It pays to stay in school
'Cause learning is a tool dd

dd So don't be shy
Raise your hands up high d
d [ Screams ]

dd Or end up like a fool dd

- [ Laughing ]
- Come on.

Ow.

[ Muttering, Blathering ]

- dd One and one makes dd
- Two!

- dd Two plus two is dd
- Four!

dd Lesson learned
now school's adjourned dd

dd So line up by the door dddd
Ow!

Why, I oughta--
Come here, you.

Ow. Okay, kids,
we're gonna do the conga.

Just follow me!

[ Muttering ]

One, two, three. Ha!

Go. Go. Cover me.

I got him.
I got him.

[ Whistles ]

All right, good game, everybody.
Get cleaned up before dinner.

Heads up, daddio.
[ Groans ]

Better hurry if you
want some dessert.
[ Chuckling ]

Ah, they grow up
so fast, don't they?

It just seems like yesterday
we didn't even know
she existed.

That's very funny.
[ Chuckles ]

I have to admit, Hercules.
Coming back here and meeting
Seska, I feel alive again.

It's like I found
a new purpose in life.
Well, maybe you have.

Can I buy you dinner?

Make no mistake
about it, gentlemen.

This is our academy, and
I am not about to let Hercules
turn it into a day care center.

[ Grunts ]
Let me go!

Look who I found
spying on us.

Get your hands off me!

Well, hi.
Look who it is.
Another wannabe hero.

You know what's funny,
Zylus?
Hmm?

I used to look up to you.
Guess that makes me a dummy
in a room full of idiots.

Well, don't feel too bad,

'cause it seems to run
in the family.

[ Chuckles ]
[ Punches Landing ]

Hey.
Hey.

Either of you seen Tabor?
He's not in his room.
[ Both ] No.

[ Groaning ]
They're coming!

Light 'em up, boys.

All right, Hercules.
You want it?

You got it... in ashes.

Someone is definitely
getting detention.

You all right?
[ Boy ]
Burn, baby, burn.

[ Boy #2 ] There's two
of 'em on the side!
Get him out of here!

This is my fight too.

All right, boys.
You know what to do.

Do it.

So, all of the rebels
stormed the castle...

while Hercules and the Sovereign
had this huge fight,
which Hercules won.

And then everybody
lived happily ever after.

Good evening, class.

- [ Children Whimpering ]
- It's time for a field trip.

My mommy told me
never to talk to strangers.

Shut up.
Now, everybody, move!

Let's go.
Your turn to go
to the board.

- Get them out of here.
- Heads up, boys.

[ All ]
Huh?

Hoo-ah!

[ Boys Shouting ]
Get her.

You've been through the drill,
cadets. Now's the real thing.

Stay focused and keep
an eye on each other.

Where's Seska?
She's gone back to help.

Okay, one, two, three,
four, five, six, seven--

Wait a minute.
Who's missing?

Nickelodeus. He's always
sneaking off to the kitchen.

Okay, form a line behind me.
Just like the conga line.
And follow me.

Here we go. Are you ready?
And one, two, three.
[ All ] Ha!

One, two, three.
One, two, three.
Ha! Ha!

One, two, three. Ha!
One, two, three. Ha!

One, two, three. Ha!
One, two, three. Ha!

Not a good time for
a jam session, Nickelodeus.
[ Boy ] This way!

Okay, kids, come on.
Let's play hide-and-seek.

Come on.

Burn it.

And whatever you do, do not
touch Hercules, all right?

He's mine.

[ Hercules ]
Zylus, you are definitely
not graduating with honors.

Looks like it's just
you and I, huh?

That's you and me.
You should have stayed
in school.

You're well past your prime,
old-timer.

Old-timer?

Why don't you do yourself
a favor?

Retire gracefully, because,
uh, I can take it from here.

Why don't you show me?

Oh, okay.

[ Grunts, Chuckles ]

Well, it does
slice and dice.

[ Grunting ]

- When you're ready.
- Excuse me.

[ Shouting ]

[ Shouting ]

[ Gasps ]
Hands off my daughter.

Thank you.
What's a father for?

Lucky shot.

You see, Hercules,
sometimes to win the battle,
you gotta go down with the ship.

That's the dumbest thing
I've ever heard.

Seska.
Hyah!

[ Laughs ]

[ Seska Shouting ]

[ Jason ]
You go, girl.

Let's get out of here.

The kitchen.
There's a back door
out of here.

Come on. Food fight.

[ All Shouting ]

Come on. Take that!

- Is that all you got?
- Why? You tired?

Nothing beats experience.

Get a haircut.

Maybe I do need
a haircut.

I challenged you
to work together as a team.

You met the challenge
and saved your academy.

You all have
my deepest respect.

And while it's been an honor
to serve as your headmaster,
it's time for me to move on.

[ Students Sighing ]
I'm happy to say I'm leaving
you in the best of hands.

I'd like you to meet
your new headmaster,
my oldest friend, Jason.

Yeah! Whoo!

Yeah! That's my dad!

Cheiron would be proud.

I'll do my best
to uphold the legacy.

And it looks like
we'll be seeing a lot
of each other again 'cause...

I plan on visiting often.
Oh.

I'll try to work you
into my schedule.

As far as teachers go,
I think they all deserve
passing grades.

Oh, yeah. Some of them
have good potential.

Oh, no. Okay, bye. Bye.

Well, it looks like
you made quite an impression.
I think they're gonna miss you.

[ Boy Laughs ]
Nope. They never miss.
