[ Indistinct Shouts ]

[ Indistinct Chattering ]

[ Man ]
I got it!

[ Man Groans ]

[ Man ]
Somebody kill me!

[ Groaning ]

[ Chattering Continues ]

Let's kill him!

[ Groans ]

[ Groaning ]

[ Horse Whinnies ]

[ Chuckles ]
Long live the king!

What a bloody mess!
[ Man ]
There it is.

[ Chattering ]
Excalibur!

Welcome to your new home,
King Arthur.

That name is a curse
on the lips of the dead.

You have not yet
ascended the throne.

Your days of advising
the monarchy are over,
Merlin.

You cannot stand
between me and Excalibur.

I would not presume to try.

No sword or weapon of war
can make you a leader.

Perhaps. But Excalibur
will stop the beating of your
heart once and for all.

You are powerless
against us, old man.

Arthur's under
my protection now.

Your arrogance
is all the weapon I need, Mab.

I taught you much,
but I haven't taught you
all I know.

Enough talk.

Today I step into history.

You've no idea
how right you are.

In the name of God,
what have you done to me?

I can't stop you, so I'm
sending you to someone who can.

Arthur!

[ Men Gasping ]

[ Boisterous Chattering ]

Break off!

Come here!

[ Chattering Continues ]

[ Laughing, Muttering ]

[ Thunderclap ]

[ Shouts, Gasps ]

Where are we?

In the past.

Who are you?

Arthur of Camelot.

Forgive us for dropping in
uninvited.

But since you're here,
you might as well kneel.
[ All Laughing ]

[ Laughing ]
Oh, I got a better idea.

Why don't I rip out your kidneys
and use 'em as earmuffs?

-[ Men Laughing ]
- Say the word, and you'll be
talking to a six-foot pickle.

[ Man Whispers ]
She's a sorceress.

I've got a better idea.

I challenge you to a battle
of wits, my good man.

I'll fight you blindfolded,

as long as you let me
strike the first blow.

[ Men Murmuring, Chuckling ]

[ Laughs ]
Why not.

[ Man ]
Go on, slice him.

Cut him in half.
[ Chattering, Laughing ]

[ Chattering Continues ]

[ Gulps ]
Is it my turn, then?

[ Groans ]

[ Man ]
All hail!

Kneel before our leader!

How did you know
where he was?

Onion breath.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Man ]
Able to completely destroy you.

[ Villagers Chattering ]

[ Grunts ]

One down, one to go.

Thank you, Hercules.
If it wasn't for you,
the school would have to close.

Well, we wouldn't want
that now, would we, kids?
[ Children Groaning ]

Come on. There's a lot
of cleaning up to do.

[ Girl ]
Okay.
There you go.

That's him
right over there.

Excuse me. Pardon me.
I'm terribly sorry
to trouble you,

but, well, I presume you're
the chap they call Hercules?

I don't know about "chap,"
but I am Hercules, yes.

Yes. Well, I've got
sort of a-- well, a huge
favor to ask, actually.

Lives at stake,
millions could die,
that sort of thing.

So, uh, when you've
got a free moment.

Oh. Yeah.
[ Grunts ]

There. I'm free now.
Tell me more.

Well, I'd love to,
really I would,

but, uh, I'll have to bring you
up to speed on the way.

The ship's waiting.
There's no time to lose.
Chop, chop.

Wait. Where are we going,
and who are you?

My, my! How embarrassing.
Where are my manners?

To Britannia.
And my name is Merlin.

[ Bird Squawks ]

Merlin?
Mmm.

[ 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!

[ Woman ]
Get your fish!

[ Man ]
Cut the slack on that rope!

[ Man ]
Down in the galley!

Halt!
Two hundred gold coins.

- King Arthur's decree.
-KingArthur?

Oh, dear, oh, dear.
The sign says 50.

Just for arguing,
the fee's now 300.

Put it on my tab.

Just give me
an excuse, stranger.

You know, it's not
polite to point.

- [ Grunts ]
- [ Man Yelling ]

Nice toss, old chap.

Indeed.

Morrigan.
Thought I recognized
your handiwork.

And I thought
you went back to Eire.

I did. But you know
what they say:
"And Justice for all."

- Yeah. Hi.
- Hello.

[ Chuckles ]

Well, this is
rather awkward, isn't it?

Oh, I--
Where are my manners?

Merlin, this is Morrigan.
Morrigan, this is Merlin.

Pleasure to make
your acquaintance.
Likewise.

Something tells me we're both
here for the same reason.

Britannia is Eire's
closest neighbor.

I'm not gonna wait
for this tyrant Arthur
to come knockin' on my door.

Well, then,
let's go knock on his.

- After you.
- Thank you.

- [ Gasps ]
-What is it?

-This happens now and then.
- What happens?

[ Gasps ]
So sorry.

I used to think
they were daydreams at first...

until they started coming true.

So, what did you see
this time?

Strangest thing, really.

All of Britannia
bowing to Arthur.

Then we'd better hurry.

Oh, I'm not making myself clear.
The people were bowing gladly,

as if Arthur
were their hero.

What is that?

It's a liver, ripped
from the body of King Hapsburg.

He was the last monarch
to oppose us.

It's official.
Britannia is mine.

And now that I have
an extra liver, I think
I'll celebrate with a drink.

Happy now that you're
lord of the apes?

Oh, what's gotten into you?

What's the point of enslaving
this savage world?

It's much too easy.
We have to get back
to our own time.

I don't see how.

And since we're here,
we might as well make
the most of it.

Arthur, how long
has Merlin been alive?

For about a thousand years,
I believe.

Ah, clever girl.

Merlin must be here,
somewhere in this world.

Comb the villages.

- I want Merlin alive.
- Yes, milord.

If we kill Merlin, he will
never live to see the day
that he sent us back in time,

and you and I will
find ourselves home again.

Don't forget. There's
something we need first.

[ Sobbing, Shouting ]

[ Shouting Continues ]

It belongs to me!
[ Woman ]
Spare us any food.

Doesn't seem to me these people
are on their knees by choice.

-[ Merlin ] Quite.
- Stop, thief!

Whoa, hey!
Where's the fire, sport?

-Let me go!
- Where are your parents?

They're in jail. They couldn't
afford to pay the king's taxes.

And I can't afford
to pay my workers!

Don't give you the right
to steal from my bakery.

He's right, you know.

But maybe you can
make it up to him.

Would you have room
to house a full-time worker...

if it only cost you
a loaf of bread a day?

I might,
if I can trust him.

It's your move, kid.

You have my word.

All right.

I expect you to start work
as soon as you finish
your lunch.

[ Shouting Continues ]

Thanks.
You're welcome.

Deftly handled, old chap.

Any king that would
do this to his people
doesn't deserve to live.

Sounds like
the old Morrigan talking.

The old Morrigan killed
without cause.

Take a look around ya.
I've got about a hundred reasons
to hand him his head.

I can't say I disagree
with you, but Merlin saw people
bowing to Arthur willingly.

So?

So maybe we can make
his dream a reality.

If we don't try, we
may be robbing the future
of a great leader.

Maybe so,
but if we waste any time
trying to reason with him,

these people might be
paying with that future
with their lives.

- Quite a dilemma indeed.
- Quite.

Are you sure
this is the place?

According to the legend.

Well, if the legend is wrong,
I'm gonna look awfully foolish.

Guardian of Excalibur,
it is Arthur of Camelot
who summons you.

Arthur, son of Pendragon,

has been fated to claim
the throne of Britannia...

a thousand winters hence.

- You cannot be the king.
- I'm early.

- The king bears a sign.
- Like this one?

Then it is my duty
to bestow Excalibur upon you.

May you use it
for righteousness...

in defense of the innocent.

We'll take that
under advisement.

Who wants some?

[ Merlin ] Excuse me,
but where are we going?

You want to find a king,
you go to his castle.

You don't really think
he's just gonna lower
the drawbridge for us, do you?

- I certainly hope not.
- [ Chattering ]

Morrigan, be careful
what you wish for.

-You! No, no. You!
- Hmm?

You the one
they call Merlin?

That depends.
Who wants to know?

King Arthur.
We're under orders to take
this man into our custody.

Well, in that case,
meet Bob. Say hello
to the good people, Bob.

-Hello to the good people, Bob.
-Well, I'm glad that's settled.

- Shall we?
- [ Men Growling ]

Uh, stay behind us.

[ All Yelling ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Man Yells ]

[ Grunting Continues ]

Those eyes.
I know those eyes.

We've found him.

[ Grunting Continues ]

[ Man ]
Let's go together.
Good-bye, old friend.

[ Screaming ]

Merlin!

Good-bye, old friend.

[ Yells, Grunts ]

Something tells me this
isn't your ordinary sword.

[ Grunting Continues ]

- [ Indistinct Shout ]
- Morrigan!

You always were
a fool, Merlin.

Did I do that?

Uh-uh-uh-uh.
Make yourself comfortable.

[ Sighs ]

- [ Choking ]
-Give me the sword,
or your friend dies.

Well, then I guess
my friend dies.

- I didn't know him
that well anyway.
- What?

Sorry, Merlin. You seem like
a nice enough guy, but this
is a really great sword.

Don't test me.
I will kill him.

Huh. You keep saying that,
but I'm not seeing any results.

Hercules,
what are you doing?

Don't worry.
She doesn't have the power
to kill you without this.

We'll see about that.
When you're ready to trade,
you know where to find us.

[ Merlin ]
Hercules!

Uh! Don't get any ideas.

Keep still!
Why are you smilin'?

Because you're simply
postponing the inevitable.

Mab will find me,
and you two will spend the rest
of your lives living as rodents.

Which, if you think about it,
might be a step up
for you savages.

If we're the savages,
why are you the one going
around enslaving people?

What better way to tame
a dog than to beat him
into submission?

- Right!
- Don't give him
the satisfaction.

We're wastin' our time.

What makes you think
you're so much better
than the rest of us?

'Cause he's from the future.
Aren't you?

- I admit nothing.
-You don't have to.

You called Merlin
your "old friend," but he's
never met you before today.

So why is he
in our time, then?
Good question.

- What was that?
- Nothing.

Something tells me
Merlin's a bigger part
of this than he realizes.

What are we waitin' for,
then? Let's go get him.

Be my guest.
You cannot defeat Mab.

- You've got a lot
of faith in her.
- As does she in me.

Really? So how come she seemed
more interested in getting
her hands on this sword...

than she did
in saving your life?

Now, we can do this
the easy way...

or we can do this
the hard way.

[ Choking ]
Oh, by all means,

I'd certainly prefer
to do it the easy way.

Good. Now we're
getting somewhere.

I demand that you send me
back to the future.

[ Coughs, Laughs ]

Yes, that would be
quite a trick, wouldn't it?

[ Laughing ]

- You're not serious, are you?
- Deadly.

You brought us here.
Now send us back.

But I've never seen you
before in my life.

You really have no idea
who I am, do you?

[ Laughs ]
Isn't this a surprise!

The all-knowing Merlin
knows nothing.

You've yet to discover
your sorcery.
Are you quite mad?

[ Laughs ]
What a delicious irony.

You taught me
everything I know,

and now you sit
before me...

[ Hair Twangs ]
powerless.

Yes, well, I obviously didn't
teach you any manners, did I?

Now let me go.
I can't help you.

Oh, but you are helping.

After all, every mousetrap
needs a piece of cheese.

[ Morrigan ]
I still think you're
makin' a mistake.

[ Hercules ]
I'm after justice,
Morrigan, not vengeance.

Well, I'm not after
vengeance either, Hercules.

So what do you suggest we do?
Murder him?

And you really think that
by killing me with Excalibur,

you'll be magically whisked
back to your own time?

Something like that.

Well, I can't be very smart
in the future,

sending you back in time
to torment me like this.

Now that you mention it,
you're not.

I'm doing you a favor.

Killing you now will spare you
the ignominy of a wasted life.

- Oh, really?
- Yes, really.

A man with your talents
and powers advising others
instead of controlling them?

We are sorcerers, you and I!
The world belongs to us.

Or more precisely, to me.

I see.

And does Arthur know
how you feel about all this?

Arthur knows nothing
but what I tell him.

You did a fine job
in raising him,

but in the end
there are some lessons
only a woman can teach.

Yes. Like the true meaning
of pain, I suspect.

Quite right.

[ Screaming ]

[ Screaming ]

[ Gasping ]

It seems that I've
underestimated your abilities.

That makes two of us.

No matter. In the end,
nothing will save you.

[ Arthur ]
You seem like one of the more
intelligent savages.

[ Hercules ]
Oh, thank you.

[ Arthur ]
Why weren't you ruler
of this place before I arrived?

You can influence people
without being above them.
What's the point?

I mean, it's infinitely
more comfortable to live
in a castle than a hut.

Uh, maybe.
But if you have to hide
behind a castle wall,

you're just a prisoner
in your own home.

[ Chuckles ]
How naive.

Do you really think
civilized society can
operate without a leader?

A real leader is someone
whose example lives on
even after he's gone.

When you die,
do you think your subjects
are going to do anything...

other than dance
on your grave?

Halt! Fifty gold coins to pass
in the name of King Arthur.

And how do you account
for this show of loyalty?

I am Arthur, ruler
of Britannia. Kneel.

[ Gulping ]

[ Men Laughing ]

[ Grunts ]

It's a crime to impersonate
the king, even if you are drunk.

What was that you were saying
about loyalty?

But I am the king, you idiots!
You are my subjects!

Now do your duty
and arrest those two!

[ Grunting ]

There, Your Majesty!

[ Grunting Continues ]

[ Laughing ]

Over here!

We should just let them
finish him off. What?

All right, guys.
Let's, uh, break it up.

Come on. Come on.
Okay, hey, hey!

The party's over.
You guys had your fun, okay?

- Go for it!
- All right.

I guess it's time to give
this thing a little test drive.

- [ Gasps ]
-Never seen anything like it!

Solid construction.

[ All Yelling ]

[ Grunts ]

Handles well. Huh.

Get him!

[ All Grunting ]

Huh. Turns on a dinar.

[ Groaning ]

See, a real leader
doesn't need a crown
to be recognized.

Let's get out of here!
[ Whimpering ]

If those soldiers
make it back to their post,

they'll have a hundred troops
here in the blink of an eye.

Huh. You know,
that's the smartest thing
you've said all day.

Uh, you two play nice.

He'll never catch them.

Oh, but it's all right with me,
'cause now we can spend
a little quality time together.

[ Grunts ]

Hercules seems to think
there's good in your heart.

Well, let's cut it out
and see for ourselves, shall we?

Nothing personal.

[ All Grunting ]

Fore.

I knew this thing would slice.

Do it!
I'm not afraid to die.

Good, 'cause I'm
not afraid to kill ya.

What are you waiting for?

Aren't you
gonna put up a fight?

So you can fool yourself
into believing you committed
murder in your own defense?

If you're going to kill me,
have the fortitude to do it
in cold blood or back away!

[ Yells ]

[ Hercules ]
Consider yourself lucky.

If you and Morrigan had crossed
paths a little while ago,
she wouldn't have hesitated.

So when did she lose
her backbone?

She didn't.
She found it.

I'm sorry.
You must be upset with me.

No. You were doing
what you thought was right.
I couldn't even do that.

I can't believe you're
beating yourself up because
you didn't commit murder.

Remember what I said.

If I'm savin'
countless lives in the future,
I've got no problem with it.

Yes, you do...
or you would've killed him.

I feel... weak.

How am I to be
the Guardian of Justice...

if I'm not prepared to take
the necessary steps?

What you did
doesn't make you weak.

It shows
how much you've grown.

You've learned when to reap
and when to sow,

and I can't think of anyone
more qualified for the job.

You always know
just what to say, don't ya?

Yep.

Hello.
You going somewhere?

Try and keep up,
would ya?

It's easy to be confident
when you've got Excalibur.

You think so, huh?

Then here.

If you can get through me,
you can go.

- What are you doin'?
- Just trying to prove a point.

This is the last mistake
you'll ever make.

[ Grunting ]

You know, you're
obviously smart.

- [ Grunts ]
- [ Gasps ]

- You're obviously brave.
- [ Yells ]

And you're not afraid to die.
I'd say there's just
one thing you're missing.

All right. I'll play along.
What's that?

[ Yells ]

Strength comes from leadership,
not the other way around.

Who are you?

Someone who's seen dictators
like you rise and fall
in the blink of an eye.

If you really want to build
a lasting kingdom,

you have to inspire
the people who live in it.

What do you know?
I know that if the people
could see you now,

they wouldn't find you
very inspiring.

I don't understand
why we're sneaking about.
Mab's expecting us.

Indulge me.

Hercules!
Thank goodness.

I have the most horrific itch
and not a chance of reaching it.

Would you mind?

How about I
unchain you instead?

Uh, oh, yes.

Let's get out of here.

That's exactly
what I'm trying to do.

Where's Arthur?
I killed him.

What do you care?
You didn't want him.
You wanted the sword.

And he was the only one
who could get it--
the poor, impressionable sap.

He should've listened
to Merlin.

Maybe it's not
too late to start.

Arthur.
You had me so worried.

So worried you were
already dancing on my grave?

Mab, ever heard
the term "busted"?

So be it.
I may not be able to kill
Merlin without Excalibur,

but I can certainly
kill the rest of you!

[ Yells ]

[ Morrigan ]
Huh. Well,
will you look at that!

Now we can
get out of here.

Waiting for spring thaw?

Thank you so much
for rescuing me.

My wrists were getting
quite cramped.

You didn't think we'd leave you
there forever, did you?
No.

Sorry you had to find out
that way, Arthur.
No, you're not.

Look, I don't take pleasure
in other people's unhappiness.

If you can't see by now that
we're trying to help you,
then Morrigan's right.

You are a lost cause.
[ Loud Rumbling ]

That didn't sound
very promising.

- Did the earth move for you?
- You wish.

[ Rumbling Continues ]

[ Villagers Screaming ]
[ Woman ]
Run for your lives!

[ Screaming Continues ]

[ Growling ]

Oh, this can't be good.

[ Growling Continues ]

[ Screaming Continues ]

[ Laughing ]
Say hello to my little friend.

[ Growling Continues ]

I'm glad she didn't
bring her big friend.

[ Screaming ]

[ Growls, Laughs ]

Arthur, get him
someplace safe.

[ Growling Continues ]

Arthur!

Come on, Merlin.
Is it teatime already?

[ Screaming Continues ]

Mab.
Got it.

All right.

Here we go, Tin Man.
Let's see if you've got a heart.

[ Growling Continues ]

[ Laughs ]

You know, Mab's
controlling the giant.

If I take her out,
the giant goes down.

No. She's too powerful.

[ Growling Continues ]

This is a bad idea.

Since when did I garner
the privilege of being
under your protection?

It's only fair. After all,
you did the same for me.

[ Growling Continues ]

[ Laughing ]

I've had just
about enough of her!

[ Screams, Grunts ]

Nice shot!
I've been wanting
to do that all day.

This thing
has a mind of its own.

[ Growling Continues ]

- [ Groaning ]
- Okay.

[ Loud Groaning ]

Nice handoff.

[ Groaning Continues ]

Wow!

[ Growling ]

Trevin!

- Look out!
- [ Yelling ]

[ Grunts ]

-[ Armor Creaking ]
- Uh-oh.

[ Growls, Grunts ]

[ Hercules Yelling ]

Get out of here.

[ Growling Continues ]

Hey! Big guy!

Over here! Come here!

Over here! Come on! This way!
Come and get it! This way!

This way. Come on.
Come on. Come on.

Come on, you worthless
pile of scrap!

Come on.

No! Over here, rust bucket!

You want some,
you great lug nut?

[ Growling Continues ]

[ Screaming ]
Nooooo!

Well, this is
where it all started.

I wish I knew what I did
to get you here, but I don't.

I'm afraid
you're quite stuck.

Maybe not.
Retrace your steps.

Try to-- Try to remember
what you were doing
before you ended up here.

Well, I was standing
here by the throne.

Only it wasn't a throne.

I was attempting to pull
Excalibur our of a stone.

Okay.

Did the stone look like this?

Indeed it did.

And was the sword something...

like that?

Exactly like that.

Excalibur is yours.

You've earned it.

Thank you for teaching me
the difference between
respect and fear.

You'll make a great
king, Arthur.

Thank you
for sparing my life.
Just doing the right thing.

And you--

You I shall see soon enough.

I shall have to take
your word on that.

Thank you.
For what?

You'll see.

Welcome back, my king.

Merlin! It is I that
should welcome you back...

to a new era of peace.

I have waited 1,000 years
to hear you say that.

I'm glad you proved me
wrong, Hercules.

I'm glad you trusted me.

Always.

Well, here we are.

I don't mean to be soundin'
rude or anything,

but the more time
we spend together--

I know. The harder
it is to leave.
I feel the same way.

I best be gettin' on.

Yeah.

For the road.

I, uh--
I don't mean to pry,

but did you two have
a previous... rendezvous?

Maybe.

You may as well fess up.
I have visions, you know.

I will find out.

You keep your visions
out of my business there,
buddy boy.

Speaking of which,
I'm certainly looking forward
to discovering my powers,

though I must admit this time
displacement's rather dreary.

Yeah. Well, I bet
there's one time you
wouldn't mind traveling to.

Oh, really?
What time would that be?

Teatime.
Care to join me?

Rather! My future's
looking brighter already.

[ Indistinct Chattering ]

[ Hercules ]
So tell me something:

Why is it that the Brits
love their tea so much?

Have you never tried tea?
Never have tried it, no.

Oh, you are missing--
[ Continues, Indistinct ]
