They arrived.

No! No...

HERCULES AND THE QUEEN

Joatex Software

Subtitles: João Ahrens Teixeira

Lift the oars!

Throw the anchor!

This is the land of Attica, part of the fabulous Greece.

What new adventures await Hercules in this native land?

Many months ago he left alone, returning now with Iole, his bride.

Accompanying Hercules and Iole to the city of Thebes

Will the young Ullisses son of Leotis.

Now you must bid farewell to your comrades,

With whom they have shared dangerous adventures in the last two years.

TIFI, commander of the Argonauta,

Laertes, the restless governor of Ithaca,

Argos, the ship's builder, in which all served him so well.

You bring the most beautiful girl of Iolco to Thebes.

It was the one that chained me.

I would like to see someone who could chafe him.

All set, Hercules.

I'll ask you a favor.

Because I sense that your judgment is mature.

Treat him like a mother.

Ulysses is just a child, who thinks he is a man, will need you.

I think he knows about your behavior.

Do not take it seriously. He's just a father.

Look! You listen to me!

I'm sorry, but you do not have to worry.

You see, he has no respect.

What is it?

If you ever need me, use one of them.

Carefully bind the message in one leg and he will bring it to me.

What are my pigeons doing here?

A gift to Penelope who took them to Samos.

It is true. They returned always to Ithaca,

no matter where you left them.

When the man finds out that these pigeons,

they can carry the news faster than we do,

you will see that the world will become very different.

There will always be the question of whether it is better to eat pigeons.

Goodbye, Hercules.

Take care of my son.

Did you trust me or did you trust me?

Here is she.

I feel we do not have to worry about Ulysses.

Come on! Help me up!

Oh! I almost forgot.

This lyre of Orpheus.

What is that for?

Do you expect me to play lyre with these hands?

It's for your wife.

I have to practice.

Thank him for me. Of course!

Farewell, Ulysses.

Listen to the teachings of Hercules, because one day you will be...

Good bye, father.

Hurry, Hercules, or we'll all cry.

Goodbye, Iole!

Careful, my son! I will do so, father!

Tomorrow we will see the city of Thebes.

We can tell you everything about her. We want you to know,

that we have heard it. We know that King Oedipus...

is a good man!

And the Senate, it's magnificent. All vast and rich!

And the stadium, the beds and the palaces...

It must be heaven if they hear Hercules talking.

Stop laughing! I do not know why you play.

Now you're going to see what a city is.

You'll hardly believe your eyes.

The manners and courtesies of the people themselves.

Behold thy Thebans with their exquisite ways.

They are Argivios. What are you doing in Atica?

Why do you care?

The Argivios are warriors.

They live in war. They do horrendous massacres.

But the command was a Theban. Let's go a little faster.

Hercules, that ceremony you went through, the bonds of matrimony...

You're married now, so be careful.

I'm grateful, Ulysses. Thanks for reminding you.

Then that's it! You're kidding me!

It's all right. Take the grace. I'm going to rest.

I will get some sleep!

Last night

Love was in these eyes

Love was shining

By the star of the afternoon

So clamorous, so new

I kept your words to myself.

Tell me that you are mine.

Tell me in the starlight

Last night I was in your arms.

And my heart danced

With the evening star.

I will walk with love

A queen for eternity

Just you and me

With the evening star.

I will walk with love

A queen for eternity

Just you and me

With the evening star.

By the evening star.

Stop a moment, strangers.

This valley is mine.

No one passes this valley without me allowing it.

And they have to pay a price.

Yes, this valley belongs to Antej!

And I do what I want, because I said that!

Now tell me...

They have some gold hidden in the wagon.

The first thing I take is the horses. We untie!

Hercules. Hercules.

Oh, I want to sleep!

Come on, come down. Unleash the horses.

You're enjoying yourself just because you're a giant.

And why not? They're just a boy and a lady.

- Let's go down!

"Shall I show you what a boy can do?"

Hercules, he's going to kill him!

I'm so sleepy I can not stay awake.

Who are you talking to?

- With my husband.

"And what is he doing?"

He's dozing.

Dormitando, is that it? I'll wake him up!

I know those sleepy husbands.

They are just afraid.

He can wake up if he sees him.

Husband.

Hey! Husband.

That's it! Say goodbye to your wife and faint.

I'll adopt her.

That's true?

Yes, I'll keep it.

It's my pleasure. I like you a lot.

And what does she say about it?

She likes a new husband, like any woman.

If this is so!

But Hercules...

Hercules!

Did not I tell you?

Everyone becomes so to me.

Come on, let's fight.

It's my pleasure.

Maybe next time, he'll treat me better.

Come on, let's get started.

You have a hard skin, eh?

Come on, Iole.

He can be a god.

I do not care if it's Pluto.

I'll punch you in the face once and for all.

Careful, Hercules. It must be Antaeus, son of the Earth goddess.

Each time he touches the ground he regains his strength.

Then that's it? So I'm going to change the fight.

Put me down. Put me down and you'll see.

Leave me alone, you fucking stranger.

I am protected by the gods. He told me to put me on the floor...

All right, go. But one day you'll have to go through my valley again.

Just a little farther, behind those trees.

I hope we can rest there.

I know this place well.

Because we will not rest. This place is quiet.

They say the gate of the underworld is among those trees.

Hercules, look!

That's weird. It's the first time I've seen anyone here.

Oh! I'm going to get wet! There you are!

For! What do you want? Leave her alone!

She's coming to keep us company.

What is your name?

You will know soon enough. Do not bother.

Look at this. You're starting to fight.

I'd better tame you.

Was not it Hercules?

No, Polynices.

Silence.

You and Theotis, my own children,

planning to rob my kingdom and divide it among you.

Well, you did it.

You and your brother drove me out of my kingdom.

Only here I discovered asylum.

And here I will die.

- Oedipus!

"Who says my name?"

- I know this voice!

Reminds me of a time in life when I was happy.

And in my eyes, who have lost the light, is like seeing again.

The voice that came is from a friend to me.

For me you are still the faithful Hercules.

Why are you here?

You're the Polinices.

You left Thebes.

It did not depend on me.

My children forced me to give up the throne.

And finally I did.

So that he and his brother could reign.

Each should rule for a year and then hand over the throne to his brother.

But now Polinices tells me, that the year is over.

Look, Dad! Now it's my turn!

And realize what your brother wants to do.

Theotis is now king and does not want to see his brother.

He promised to do so, but now that his year is over,

is driving away his brother.

What are you doing here? What do you want from your father?

Just forgiveness.

I'm not going to fool myself!

I know exactly what you want.

Obtain and save the throne with the help of Argivios.

The throne brings only tragedy. It can not bring happiness.

Your city will fall between these two brothers.

They do not care that Thebes is destroyed.

Let your men and women be slaughtered.

As long as these two ambitious rulers now have what they want.

Listen, Polinices. I've known him since I was a child.

And I respect your father.

Anyway, I long for justice for Thebes.

But I have another idea.

I will go to his brother, and try to convince him,

to respect the pact they made.

It's a noble thought you have, Hercules. But...

My children do not listen to anyone.

But Thebes is my city.

We must save the people from this carnage.

If you can not get over the madness of these men,

I will believe that I, Hercules

I was abandoned by the gods.

Well, Polinices, will you?

It's all right. Go to Etéocles, depart.

I'll give you six days to see if you've made peace between us.

At the end of these six days, we will march on the Thebans.

Wait a minute.

Say goodbye to your father.

Good bye, father.

I know you wanted kids like Hercules.

But it hit us.

The time has come, Oedipus.

The doors open to you.

Hercules! No, Hercules! You can not bother the king.

It can not be bothered, nor for the affairs of the state.

No one can talk to him when he's busy in the tower.

Are you listening, are not you?

Look, Hercules! I'm warning you.

You do not know how things are, because you've been gone too long.

But believe me, they have changed!

See? They will not let you through.

I suppose you have something important to tell me, since you came here.

What I have to say to you should not be denied here.

Do not disturb the tigers.

They are nervous, do not you see?

Polynices.

When he saw the hungry tigers, he would be in front of them.

I'll tell you about it later.

He is dead, eminence.

There's nothing to do. There is no one capable.

You, maybe? Maybe he's more fortunate!

I promised a great reward to anyone who can tame one.

If he is not dead, I mean!

What do you think of that?

Am I not here for that?

Ponices, and my father.

What do they want?

They want him to surrender his brother's throne, as he said he would.

Otherwise march on Thebes with the Argivio army.

As for you, what do you think I should do?

Disappear, and come back in the year that my brother likes?

That's what both agreed ..

Who is that girl?

Iole the daughter of Pelias. And my wife.

You chose well. The daughter of the king of Iolco.

This is my brother, now he's afraid.

That is why it threatens to use the army.

Might be a good idea, a trip for me.

To see if I can train my animals.

They told me that in Egypt there are mighty men.

Besides, I need allies.

My brother will now be king.

I hope you rule Thebes with the greatest success.

Goodbye, Hercules!

Goodbye, Iole!

Goodbye, Creon!

You always blamed me.

You will be ecstatic. I'm saying, Goodbye.

I do not know what to say about it all.

Have you ever seen a man so close to madness?

And the way you gave in to your brother, do you believe that?

Your wife is right!

You start because you have to do it, for no other reason.

Do you really think that?

Etéocles was the only solution for him.

Made a good excuse. Find a tamer for the animals.

He needs it. This was the last.

Who are they?

They are prisoners.

And if they try to escape, they have the same end as the tamer.

He wished we would not part.

I have no choice. Thebes is in danger.

Welcome to my house Theotis.

You also take the wife with you?

No, Ulysses is coming with me.

Ulysses, who is he?

Ulysses the son of Leoti. King of Itaka.

A King without an army! I'm not interested!

Take this!

And you may say this to my brother:

From now on what he asks I will do.

That's why it's here, is not it?

Tomorrow morning, I will send servants, possessions, and supplies.

If you live only here in Thebes,

You will live impatiently.

Thank you.

I look over Iole, until he returns.

So I'm sure she'll be fine.

Creon is the purest and cleverest man in Thebes.

Another Hercules in his own way. I say goodbye.

There is something wrong with this place.

Look! I'm hungry!

Oh yeah! Make sure you get a good shot.

And remember.

The distance, the wind and the speed of the target.

Decide how you want it, before I go back.

Well said. I'll light the fire.

And do not come back empty handed.

This is the source of oblivion!

Those who drink of it, will forget everything.

Last night, love...

It's a good good!

Where do they go?

Come back here.

Love was shining

By the star of the afternoon

So clamorous, so new

Yawl.

What happens?

Yawl.

- Where are you, Iole? - Hercules, what's wrong?

Yawl!

Can not you hear her voice?

Can not you hear it?

But I do not hear anyone.

Hercules, look at me, I'm Ulysses!

Hercules, listen to me!

Hercules!

Hercules!

Who are you?

Who are you?

Answer me!

This one is not very prudent. Traveling alone with a dumb deaf.

And thou! Come on.

Let's go!

It's better to see.

I'll test it. Do we know if he is deaf or not?

Still have doubts? I almost screamed myself.

Omphale.

They arrived.

Your soldiers.

Yes. Famous queen. Are here.

Do not leave me please. Do not leave me!

Hercules the Theban, Your Highness.

This is your servant. A poor deaf-mute.

Omphale, I beg you, listen to me.

Get him out of here.

No, Omphale! He told me he loved me!

Save me, Omphale!

Help me!

No...

There's something I have to ask you.

And what would you like to ask me?

What happened to me? I do not remember anything.

Not even who I am.

And this is important?

No. I do not know I do not remember anything.

You know this boy?

Because?

Think carefully!

I never saw him.

Come sit next to me.

Who was that boy?

Your servant.

My servant?

Yes.

I swear to the gods that...

You want me to believe you do not remember...

who is the king of this land... who is my husband.

Even if you do not remember me, I believe you.

Anyway, I like the idea of being king.

By the way, what's my name?

What difference does it make?

Nothing, just in case you call me...

To me your name is love

I begin to like this place.

And I?

You? Above all.

Look at this, Iole.

It was at the bottom of the ark.

It means something to you and Hercules.

Can not you keep still?

When does he come back?

He only left three days ago.

It is because of this treatise.

Often, they do not adjust immediately.

Yes, I know, if you're late, that's because it's logical.

But I feel so anxious when he's not here.

I'll only stay until tomorrow morning, and then...

I'll see if I can find them.

Let's go. Now you're going to work. Already!

My boy. I discovered something very important.

So far, I've made a big mistake.

You must sleep by day, and stay awake at night.

Otherwise, you lose the best part of your life.

Is ready?

Ah yes! The night was made for love.

The sun outside burns the senses.

Ah! Ah! What life!

Wake up in the morning without any worry and nothing to do.

What is it?

Looks like you did it on purpose.

You are Hercules.

What you said?

Hercules.

Hercules Who is Hercules?

Yawl.

Get out. I do not understand anything.

Iole, your marriage, Etéocles, Polinice, the message,

the danger of a war against Thebes.

Fold it, if you can not, convince me.

Good Morning.

"Did you sleep well last night?" - Wonderful!

I dreamed with you.

I am flattered.

But anyway, I remember I had a different face.

- More beautiful? - No? Just different.

Blonde hair, sweet smile.

So start betraying me in your dreams.

He is not afraid that we will lose hope,

And let vengeance be upon us.

I do not want to talk about sad things when I'm so happy.

I love you,

and for me it's all that matters.

Is weird! Something seems wrong! What do you think?

Look! It's one of the pigeons I gave to Ulysses.

The one with the black spots!

What's he reading?

It's from Ulysses, I feel it!

How are you sure?

I know! He promised to send one if he was in trouble.

Is it Ulysses? Yes!

What is?

I'm afraid I have to leave immediately.

Is it Ulysses? Yes! He wants me to go to him.

What did you write to him?

Anything! Only you're in trouble.

What are you going to do?

I'll join some friends.

We'll see what the problem is,

and bring back the Ulysses and the Hercules.

You must not tell anyone about my departure.

No one should know the reasons for this.

Do not worry.

I will bring your child to you, and your heart to you sweet.

I promise you.

But this trip can be an extraordinary thing.

One of those girls might like me.

Thank you friends.

The gods will guide us now.

They will satisfy our desires.

for the good of our friends,

away from all dangers,

Ulysses, Hercules and Iole.

Or who I can trust.

I was cheated again.

Where's Hercules?

He seized the opportunity to join Polinices.

No one can say that Hercules wants this.

What evidence have you got?

Well, listen to my information.

I saw it with my own eyes.

The concentration of troops waiting.

I spoke to your soldiers.

They are waiting to start the battle,

to be able to divide the treasures of Thebes.

Argivios camps were set up.

There they set up the tents of Polinices.

There they look like jackals, hoping to conquer Thebes.

All due to Hercules.

If that was what he wanted, he would never leave Iole.

A man and a woman do not see marriage in the same way.

Maybe he wanted to break the marriage.

Not Hercules!

He knows Iole could be taken hostage.

Surprised, Creon! This is beautiful.

There is another surprise for you Great Sage.

And it was planned just for you.

Do you know where they found the princess?

Preparing to get away.

Because she hates Thebes and wanted to join her husband.

It's fake? You know about Hercules?

No, I have not heard from him since he left.

And all I did was wait for him alone.

And if I ran away, it was just...

I beg you to let me go to Hercules.

It would be great for both of you, huh?

Gathered under the tender care of my brother Polinices.

I do not understand what you mean, Mr.

This is not her fault, Ethiopians.

Why blame Hercules? Do not you see?

If you let them meet, then...

Do you have to say such shit?

Do you speak to me as if I had prepared my senses?

Take the woman from here.

It is simply inhuman!

From now on, each Theban will be arrested, suspected of liaising with Polinices.

Arrest them all!

And their possessions, families, and servants.

And start now.

For those who want justice.

Let no one speak of Hercules here in the court.

Creonte will be my example.

Arrest him!

Wake up, it's time for work. Get up now.

Get up. It's late. Your masters are waiting for the massage.

This is the second time you've squeezed my goblet.

I'll do it for you, Hercules.

Why do you keep calling me, Hercules?

Hercules. I've heard that name before.

Will see. You will remember soon.

Remember what?

It's too complicated to explain now.

I beg you to avoid drinking from that water.

Then it will recover the memory.

We'll soon be able to get away.

To run away? Are not you from here?

My name is Ulysses. You and I were friends.

We were captured and brought here.

I'll tell her we have to get out of here.

What I saw is horrible.

During the day do not bother me.

At night I am put in a cell, and locked inside.

Yesterday he was looking for a way out.

When I saw a passage to a cave.

You Egyptians are really clever.

I'm pretty sure they'll figure out how to preserve life.

Life is different, we can not create the soul of man.

Even so, your work should be exciting.

Fix for eternity the character of a man.

Only man, the way he looks, how he stands.

When can we work on Hercules?

I shivered in fear at what she intended to do with us, Hercules.

Why should I believe you?

I'd expected that.

I'm going to ask the queen to see if you're lying?

Omphalen, he will surely deny, and he will kill me, what will become of him?

I'd rather die at your hands than this way.

I promise not to talk about Hercules or Omphale anymore.

Go away!

I said, leave me!

No one dared to give orders in my presence.

It's just the first time.

There's a strange power over me.

Whether it's love or not, I do not know.

but all I want is to be with you.

It's the way I like it. And thou?

What was this? Someone approached the island.

Great queen, travelers wait.

Laertes of Ithaca came with a small entourage.

They want to stay for a few days to greet you.

Tell them to go. To return to Ithaca.

We do not want visitors.

But we must receive them.

It would be a very serious offense.

So you'd rather offend me, forsake me.

I will not be far ..

I will not be long.

Just enough to greet me.

Wait here. I will not leave.

Let's go. Back to your cell.

You do not want? Let's go. Hurry up, come on.

The Aegean has not been generous to us, great queen.

We have a long and arduous journey ahead.

Excuse us, Your Highness.

For what you see here is poor and modest.

Grace and hospitality is all we ask for.

These gifts express our humility and goodwill, for you...

who rules his island of Lidhio with wisdom and mercy.

Thank you! Laertes! King of Ithaca.

I have already given orders for you and your entourage

be installed in the best wing of the palace.

My men will accompany them.

My sincere thanks.

What's your name, young man?

Beaver.

I have the feeling that I have already found it.

While the others are taken to their rooms,

Stay with me a little.

I would like to try to remember where we met.

I am at your service.

Hercules.

What did you say?

You mean you do not know me?

Tell me where's Ulysses?

Who are you?

What does this man want?

Hercules, it's not who he is.

All right, Omphale.

It's only because Hercules and this man are both huge.

But if we look again at this man,

Explain for a moment our error.

But Laercio, look at his face.

Her physiognomy can not be Hercules.

Who is this Hercules?

The strongest and most courageous man in Thebes.

A hero.

What does that have to do with me?

Anything! It's like wine and water. It's bad to mix them up.

I do not like your laughter, and the way you talk.

Please go. See you later.

Not later! It is now.

Please forgive me.

Excuse us. Now we can withdraw.

I want to put this.

The pearls should be in contact with the body.

Before they get the best shine.

Tomorrow! This necklace will be much more beautiful.

Now I'm ready for action.

A man only lives long, with patience.

The deadline is over.

Eteocles and Hercules conspired against me to take the throne.

Summer! I'm still a King.

And them? You just need to see this army arrive.

Your army will destroy the Thebans.

It will be a surprise. To my friends there.

It will be a great triumph to defeat the Thebans.

There is a throne plus the riches of the city.

Right! Let's go!

Now! Magareo, keep your men at the south gate.

Polyphon, go to the north gate.

Hiperio, will protect, Melanipo in the right wing.

And Hector on his left.

Oh, Lastene!

It was not about him that Cleone said:

Trust this man with his soldiers.

Defend the most vulnerable spot.

The main gate of Thebes.

At your command Theotis.

I will confront you and Polinices,

At the top of the sacred gate of Delphi.

What is it?

The Population on the outskirts of Thebes, to take refuge in the city, Mr.

They have nowhere to go!

They came into town without my consent.

We already have many mouths to feed.

No! Get them out!

Please listen to Theotis!

The Thebans are getting upset.

You're losing your support.

Yes! Certainly. They prefer good old Cleon.

But I have a plan for Cleon.

Now close the gates of the city.

- Close them!

No one else enters Thebes any more.

Let me go...

You mean you do not know me?

Where's Ulysses?

He was the bravest man in Thebes. A hero!

Her physiognomy can not be Hercules.

It's like wine and water. It's bad to mix them up.

Leave me!

Why did you ask me to stay here?

You really do not want me!

You'll never understand!

Really? But do not you think it's simple?

She was furious for asking.

Or perhaps for not knowing the reason for our visit.

No! And you will not know it for me.

Shut up!

Because? Are you sick of me?

Now I feel sorry for you. Because he'll never hold Hercules.

I curse the day you entered this palace!

Damn the day I entered your palace, Ohmfale!

I got the pieces of the puzzle together.

I finally know who I am!

Do not go for revenge, Hercules!

Do not bother yourself!

He will not kill me!

What makes you believe that?

Yourself, Hercules!

It does not kill me, because you know how much I love you.

I know that sooner or later I would kill you.

And so I would lose you, Hercules.

If you knew how I fought to never fall in love with you.

But in vain! It was all in vain!

If I believed in you...

I would never pity you.

If my sincerity kept you here.

Get up!

Very well, Hercules.

But there is one thing you can never take away from me.

It's the love you gave me.

The love we shared.

Not even your Iole can take it from me

Do not talk about Iole.

Let's leave this island!

As you wish, Hercules of Thebes.

I'll see to it that you and your friends leave safely.

But hurry up, before you change your mind.

Hercules is alive!

But Ulysses?

I'm sure if you're alive, you'll find us.

Sandone, dispense your men!

I want to be alone with my guests.

Goodbye Leothis! Goodbye my good friends.

Hercules leaves with you. Sandone, I'm on your way.

Do you know where my son is? Please tell me!

Hey! Watch out Father!

We have some bills to settle before they leave the island.

Let's go.

Kill them! Kill them all centurions!

But spare the Hercules!

Ulysses, and that story you told me about?

Through the gardens! This way! This way!

Look at Hercules. This was already for you!

Come on, hurry up, it's dangerous to stay here.

- This way!

Hurry, before the door closes!

This is our only way out.

- Jump!

I'm too old to jump.

Wear the robes! That's it!

Grab it!

I heard the sound of the sea.

Come on!

Now we are all saved.

You better swim there.

Did they say swim? I do not know how to swim!

I'll take you. You'll be fine.

It's ok.

Come on, Scappars!

Oh no! I'd rather go back to Ohpfale.

Let's go! To the water. I'm not afraid that's...

doctors still have no cure for the rheumatic.

Now your mother is not worried.

The mother? No, the mother is so brave that she is not sad.

I sent him to Penelope.

Your boy is growing up.

Yes! Boys today think only of girls.

I will never be able to repay you.

He's still our friend.

I did not worry about that.

You will see how long we will be your guests at Thebes.

We may not be able to return to Ithaca.

How long have I been on the damn island?

I think about twenty days.

More time than we agreed.

Twenty days.

Time has passed.

Polinices is at the gates of Thebes.

Yawl

I was deceived by the gods.

She's in the hands of that crazy man.

Hoist the entire sailcloth.

In the name of justice and honor,

I order the immediate surrender of Thebes.

To my brother Theotis,

I guarantee the safe conduct of their descendants,

their property and civil rights.

As for Theotis he will be exiled for the rest of his life.

Now Polinices will be the king of Thebes.

What the Thebans respond to Polinices.

Now I speak for the Thebans.

Now the Polinices fever has made him a traitor.

He uses allied soldiers and the cowardly Hercules.

But we Thebes respond:

Thebans can not use mercy.

Now summer!

Good! You down there.

This is the family of your collaborator, Hercules.

All of them faithful to you Pollinices.

Why were you brought here?

Because you will see how we deal with traitors.

Hercules, by the gods you will suffer!

Your wife will arrange a show for us.

The day she picks you up she'll be picked up by the tigers.

And the others?

Step back now. Here is my Polinices answer.

Look at your supporters! And thou?

You'll be next. Yeah, you're next.

Here!

Do not go back to Thebes, Hercules.

Eteocles should not see it.

He's just waiting for this to kill his wife.

"I want to kill her before him" He shouted.

It will be the climax of everything.

Throw it at the tigers.

We're ready to help you, Hercules.

We'll do whatever we want.

But you have to be careful.

Leave me alone.

It is a mistake to attack in force against a door, for the Thebans are there.

Just because you want to meet Theotis face to face.

It would be best to make a surprise attack.

My brother is crazy but he's resourceful.

You're sure to go into battle when the Thebans have the sun in their favor.

They no longer count on my supporters in the city.

Well, my impression is that they were eliminated.

There are still men who are faithful to me.

My information is contrary.

They say people want Cleon.

This is not true.

I assure you that!

And who guarantees us about himself.

A messenger from Thebes.

A Messenger.

Send him in.

Who sent it?

Theothis! To talk to you Polinices.

He offers the setting of thebes in a duel, only you and him.

That's why I bring you this now.

A duel. Not a bad idea.

What about, Polinices? I have to think about it!

It means peace, Polynices! Of course! A duel is much better.

Are not you afraid, Polynices?

Of course not!

But who guarantees that the rules will be respected?

All our Thebans.

I tell them we're tired of these fights and the bloodshed.

But you can lose Polinices. You can die.

Do they leave town and return to their homes?

Promise that? Certainly!

I assure you.

Scapparians!

Oh gods, please protect me!

Was not that Hercules?

Bring it closer.

Hercules!

Where is Iole, Cleon?

Where is she?

Because? Did not you find it on the way?

No! I only saw the dead?

But where is Iole? Why are not you here?

Last night we convinced her to run away. That madman was ready to kill her.

So we thought she'd better run.

Iole said I'd find you until I found you.

But look how surprised!

But what a great story.

First escapes from jail.

It ends up being here, and it's still stuck.

I'd like to see Hercules face when I know that.

So repent, because when he...

You'll be ours, while you're here.

I do not worry about that.

While respected, Hercules does not kill him.

I'd rather take that risk.

By the gods, you know his fury.

I did not forget when he hit me,

But you will reward me.

I do not forget these things, do you understand?

Notice-the one you will pay to double for this.

Because the great Hercules is not here to help you.

You stay here, and I promise I'll come back later.

Spread the word. Advertise!

Thebans, let us pray to the gods.

Because finally.

Theotis!

Won the day.

What is Victory!

As bad and stupid as his brother.

It deserved to end like this.

Hercules, you see this?

I'm going to celebrate this victory. She's in my house now.

And I'm going there.

At your posts.

Look at that.

The Thebans left the walls.

They must want to surrender the city.

Move on to the cavalry.

Thebes took revenge on Oedipus.

And His children too.

By invoking the gods.

May these flames purify the city and those who remain in it.

You suffered much, Iole!

The gods have laid many obstacles against us.

And there will be more.

I hope we understand them.

Some of the other gods are generous.

If we love each other.
