All language subtitles for Hercules The Legendary Journeys S05E01 - Faith (1)

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

- Follow me! Follow me!
- No, no!

No.

Go to the palace!
Where are you going?

Go! Go to the palace!

No!

Help!

This way!

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

By your word, King 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.

Oh!

Thank the gods! There you go.

That was fun!
Can we do it again?

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.

His strength! Just wait
till your father gets home!

Ha, ha, ho! My hero! Ooh!

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

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

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.

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

Huh.

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

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

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.

Ra?

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

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

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.

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.

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?

- 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.

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.

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.

- I'll think about it.
- Aye, aye!

I don't think so.

Shocking, isn't it?

Doesn't look like
she needs our help.

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

Take your time.

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

Going up.

Oh!

Huh.

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

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? 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?

Hopefully, the winds
will be at our backs.

Are you... all right?

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.

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.

My money's on the captain!

You don't have any
money! My princess.

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

Boys! Let him have it, Nebula!

Our guest seems a little
tense. Help him relax.

What's your poison? Come on!

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

I don't know how the crew
puts up with her. 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. Nebula! Nebula!

Is that so? Hmm.

Ah! Ha-ha!

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

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.

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.

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 did nothing
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.

You are 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?

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.

Well, don't tell anybody. No.

Good luck. Yeah. You too.

We'll be back.

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?

Because... I have
faith in people.

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

Mm-hmm.

Our water supply
has been cut off!

Oh, no! The aqueduct
has been badly damaged!

These people won't survive
another night without water.

We better get to
fixing that duct.

Sacrilege.

- Is there a problem?
- 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?

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

You can all just kiss off!

There's nowhere to go but up.

Look at this.

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

"You must walk in the
footsteps of another."

I hate it when that happens.

"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?

Quick... back-to-back.

Whoa!

Like you said, only
way to go is up.

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

I never should have listened to you
and Hercules. Nothing has 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.

Oh, Deity,

- our injured need water.
- Hear our prayers.

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

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

How dare you
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.

She's right. Let's go.

What have we got
to lose? I'll go too.

Yes.

Whoa!

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

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

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?

I got ya!

Hang on!

Oh.

So how are you
finding Mesopotamia?

A little breezy.

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Oh!

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?

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.

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.

Yeah.

But the thing is,

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

We did it.

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

After you, my friend.

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 and my master.

You see, when I lost my family,

I did lose my faith.

And in my deepest despair,

I heard the voice of Dahak...

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.

I am the darkness that you hold.

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.

Gilgamesh!

Get out of my way!

Where's Hercules?

The one god has
been good to him.

What's happened to you?

Such fire inside,
such a warrior's heart.

The great Dahak has
other plans for you.

We're family.

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

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!

No more Mr. Nice Guy. Hercules!

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

I love you.

There's nothing you can do...

to stop Dahak from
entering our world.

It's his destiny.

And it's my destiny
to shut you up.

Nebula!

No!

Iolaus!

Dahak!

Aaah!

Oh... Oh...

Hang in there, buddy.

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

Hercules.

Hey... Come on.

Don't you give up on me.

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

Oh.

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.
