All language subtitles for Hercules The Legendary Journeys S05E10 - Let There Be Light (1)

Previously on Hercules...

I guess I'll head
back to Greece.

After all that's happened, I
wonder if it'll still feel like home.

Then stay here with me.

We could make this
our home together.

Who did this?

It was from outside this world.

A thing of evil and
incarnate darkness.

Dahak?

Hercules. Boo.

I don't know where you came
from, Dahak, but you're not staying.

You may have his body,
but you're not Iolaus.

Get down!

I knew you couldn't kill me.

You're still holding on,
but it's time to grow up.

It will be a whole new
day in Greece, buddy!

He's headed for Greece. So
why are we standing about?

Let's do some damage.

All right, then.

We stop Dahak together.

Or we die trying.

It has returned.

Hey, look. I finally
got something.

And you can keep the
stupid pole, you miserable fish.

Uh, little tip.

You're only supposed to toss
in the line, not the whole rod.

It's easier to catch fish.

If the gods had intended
for people to be at sea,

they'd have given us gills.

I can't stand another
day on this rocking horse.

Well, you see, it helps...

if you have something
to pass the time.

I do love a man who
knows how to reel a girl in.

Uh...

Morrigan, I don't want you
to take this the wrong way,

because you're one of the best things
that's ever happened to me, but I just...

That's wonderful.

Sounds like a prelude
to a kick in the pants.

Um... Uh, no.

It's not that at all.

Dahak has got a
real head start on us,

and for all I know, Greece won't
even be there when we arrive.

What I'm saying is, we
have to be ready for anything.

And I can't help but wonder if we
picked the wrong time to get involved.

What makes you think
we picked anything?

I didn't choose
to feel this way.

Nevertheless, I do.

But you're right, Hercules.

We've got more important things to
tend to before we can put a name...

to this fine feelin' between us.

And if it's strong
enough, it'll last.

Good morning.
Uh, get some sleep?

What do you think?

Okay. Lovely girl.

She's got all the grace
and charm of a hatchet.

And many other
admirable qualities.

I wonder. Dahak drove her mad.

Who knows if she's
really back to her old self?

She may never be.

I'd still trust
her with my life.

Well, isn't this a
pleasant surprise?

Yeah, it's a little
too pleasant.

This just doesn't make any
sense. Welcome, friends.

Come and join us!

Our doors are always
open to strangers.

What's the occasion? It's
the beginning of a new era.

You see, the reign of the
Olympian gods has ended,

and a glorious light has
dawned on our world.

Wait. The gods are gone? Oh,
they abandoned us not long ago.

Famine and drought nearly
brought an end to Greece.

We prayed for days, but
our prayers went unanswered.

It seemed all hope was lost...

until one of our own sons returned
reborn to deliver us from ruin!

I'll bet he did. Oh, I
was blinded as a child,

but the God of Light blessed
me with his merciful touch.

And now, I am once again...

able to see the
world in all its glory.

Save yourselves!
Save yourselves!

It's Hercules!

Hercules! Oh, no!
Please, don't hurt me!

- Get out of here!
- I am not going to hurt you.

The day of reckoning is at hand.

But fear not, my children.

I will save you from Hercules.

Save us, Iolaus, save us!

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!

Hercules, if you have any
goodness in your heart at all,

leave now, before
you lose control...

and claim more innocent lives.

- Yes.
- He's lying.

You all know me. I
wouldn't hurt any of you.

That is exactly what I
told them you would say.

It's not too late. Accept
me into your heart,

and I can help you
repent of your crimes.

To what crimes would you be
referrin'? It's all right, my child.

There's no need
to continue lying.

I know everything.

I know you stood by...

while Hercules slaughtered
the gentle Druids...

who had been so good to
you in your hour of need.

Don't. The angrier we get, the
more we confirm everything he says.

They're just words.

Hercules, your contempt for the
Olympians has been no secret.

Now you have returned to destroy
them, and that is why they have fled.

Livia, you were my mother's
best friend. You know me.

I don't know who
you are anymore.

I'm just glad Alcmene isn't
here to see what you've become.

Hercules,

if you can't allow the
light into your heart,

at least allow these people
the freedom to worship in peace.

Come on.

This was round one.

I don't suppose this is the
homecoming you were expecting.

Iolaus and I used to play
up here when we were kids.

I knew every
inch of this forest.

Now it feels like I've never
even been here before.

I don't mean to sound
callous, Hercules,

but perhaps it's the best thing.

Like you taught me...
What's past is past,

and you're gonna have
to let it go to stop Iolaus.

Stop right there.

That thing we're up
against is not Iolaus.

Don't make that mistake again.

I let you talk to me like that
'cause I know you loved him.

- But if I want your opinion,
I'll ask for it.
- Here we go.

I knew Iolaus.

Dahak may have his body,

but there's no way
he has his soul.

That's a very dangerous
attitude you've got there.

See, if it comes
down to him or me,

and you pick him,
well, then, our friendship

won't have much of
a future, now will it?

- Okay. That's enough.
- What makes you think it has
much of a future now?

All right. I said that's enough.

We don't know for sure
what we're dealing with here.

But we can't start
doubting each other now.

Nebula, we both have to
prepare for the possibility...

that Iolaus isn't the same
person we used to know.

All right. Let's
say you're right.

Do you really think you
can bring yourself to kill him?

Because I don't know if I can.

We may not have a choice.

- So what now?
- Now we find answers.

People must be paying
a price for all their

prosperity, even if
they don't know it yet.

- Why don't you see
what you can find out.
- Where are you going?

Visit an old friend.

Hey, Jason.

Get away from me, Hercules.
You're not welcome here.

Iolaus said you'd
come to me for help.

Well, you won't get
any! Now, go away!

Come on, Jason. Open the door.

Whatever you heard, it's a lie.

So where've you been? You
abandoned us, your own people!

And your hatred for the
gods finally drove you insane!

If I'm insane, why am I standing
out here trying to reason with you?

Why haven't I just
broken the door down?

Come on, Jason.

I'm the same person
you grew up with.

I'm the same person who
watched you marry my mother.

And I'm the same person...

who's always had the
privilege of calling you my friend.

Please stop! You don't understand!
You don't know what you're doing!

These are works of
literature! Who cares?

This is the future!
This is knowledge!

True knowledge comes
only from the God of Light.

No!

Aw. Now, see? That's
where you're wrong.

'Cause we're here to
teach you boys a lesson.

Lesson number one: What
goes up must come down.

Lesson two: When you
hear the bell ring, school's out.

Ah! Class dismissed.

- Well done.
- Likewise.

Are you all right there?

Up you go. Oh, thank you.

The writings of Socrates,
Homer and Ovid.

These are more
precious to me than gold.

Nice to know there's at least
one freethinker left among ya.

- Who are the goons?
- This God of Light
calls them his missionaries.

I call them trained thugs.

And I suppose being a teacher
puts you at the top of their hit list.

They rounded me up with the rest
of my colleagues to be converted,

but I managed to escape and
came back to save what I could.

- Do you remember
where they took you?
- Yes. They have a stronghold...

Iolaus told everyone you
vowed to destroy the Olympians.

He said he had no choice
but to eat ambrosia...

so he'd have the strength to stop
you. Well, now you know the truth.

I'm sorry I doubted you, Hercules,
but when the gods disappeared,

it seemed possible you'd
found a way to kill them.

There's no need to apologize.

Garden looks beautiful. Mmm.

Alcmene taught me well.

- Where's Iphicles?
- He left Corinth
on a diplomatic mission...

before any of this happened.

Well, I'd love to stay,
but I've got to go find...

something that
looks like Iolaus.

You know, the old temples are being
converted into shrines in his honor.

He said if we ever needed him,

all we had to do was pray.

Now, why did you go
and do a thing like that?

We don't expect the
maid until tomorrow.

Well, then, you're in luck,

because I'm here to wipe
the floor with your face.

You know,

I'm sensing a
little hostility here.

What have you done with the
Olympians? The real question is,

what have they done
with themselves?

They left before I arrived.

But don't worry. I'll find them.

I'm not the one who
should be worrying.

I don't get it. I spend my
whole life by your side,

fighting the gods.

And now that I have the power to
destroy them, you're defending them.

I never wanted to destroy them.

I only wanted to stop them
from playing with people's lives.

If you really were
Iolaus, you'd know that.

What I know...

is that I have given
these people a choice.

Now, if they have accepted me
into their hearts of their own free will,

who are you to protest?

You lied to them
to win their loyalty.

I didn't force them to do anything, and
I can't help it if these people are sheep.

And what do you get out of this?

A return to the good old days,

before the Olympians
graced the skies.

The good old days are over.

Sorry, buddy. Best to part now,

while we're still friends.

Iolaus! If you're
in there, fight him!

- Hercules?
- Iolaus?

Please. It hurts.

Please send him back.

I can't hold him
off much longer.

Kill me. Do it!

Do it now! It hurts
so much! Please!

Kill me. Kill me now. Do it!

Hercules! Go on.

Kill me now. Do it!

No. It's too simple.

You want me to kill you.

Maybe I just want to
give you a fighting chance.

Maybe I wasn't born yesterday.

This is the second time
you've tried to get me to kill you.

And whatever you've
got in mind, it won't work.

You know the great
thing about the future?

You never know how
it's gonna turn out.

Said he wanted to make the
world like it was before the gods.

That mean anything to you? It
might mean something to the Titans.

They were here
before the Olympians.

Didn't Zeus imprison them
beneath the earth? Yep.

So I don't suppose they'd
be too anxious to help his son.

Uh, no, but it's all we've got.

Well, then, we know
what we have to do.

Jason's expecting you?
Aye. We'll find the stronghold.

Don't you worry. Okay.

You sure you're ready for
this? Quit asking me that.

I was strong enough to
resist Iolaus in Sumeria.

I'm strong enough
to resist him now.

Go. Get out of here.

All right. See you
back at Jason's tonight.

Mnemosyne! Show yourself!

- And who are you?
- Sorry to drop in uninvited,
but I need your help.

I'm Hercules, son of Zeus.

It was your father...

who imprisoned
me here for eternity!

And if I can never leave,
then neither can you!

No, hold your
fire! Listen to me!

Zeus is the least
of your problems.

Dahak has returned.

I, uh... I take it you
weren't the best of friends.

Before the reign of the gods,

Dahak sought to take
the world from the Titans.

And by the time we defeated
him, we were too weak...

to defend ourselves
against the Olympians.

So Zeus isn't the only one to
blame for putting you down here.

Make no mistake
about it, Hercules.

I despise them both!

But if Dahak succeeds,

I won't live to see the day
that Zeus kneels before me!

Yeah. Well, it's
good to have goals.

You must retrieve
the Stone of Creation.

If it is brought before Dahak
at the dawning of the sun,

it will harness a
pure and perfect light.

Dahak will be
rendered powerless...

long enough for you to
send him back to his realm.

Just tell me where it is.

No, no, no. Wait.

I-I've come to
help. Help me what?

I am Zarathustra,
the first to believe...

the lies of Dahak a
thousand years ago.

You're an immortal.

I've walked this earth in your footsteps
in the hope that I would find you.

Because? Because
you and you alone...

have the power to
destroy this world...

or to save it.

I never thought I'd
find you at the altar.

I never had a
reason to pray before.

- What are you praying for?
- Your soul.

I'm sorry for the way I
treated you back in Sumeria.

But I meant what I said.

We should be together.

And then you rejected me and,

well, let's just say...

part of me didn't
take that too well.

And which part am
I speaking to now?

Ah, Nebula, don't you know?

Not anymore.

The Iolaus I knew...

cared about other people more
than he cared about himself.

If you're still the person
that I fell in love with,

leave Greece now,

before anyone else
gets hurt, please.

I promise you,

in my kingdom, there
will be no suffering.

But you can't
build a new world...

without first
destroying the old one.

I won't be a part of that.

We belong together, Nebula.

Our love... is eternal.

Our world is made
up of two forces...

more basic and ancient
than any god or Titan...

The impulse to create...

and the impulse to destroy.

These impulses
exist in all things.

Take something
as simple as water.

It can save a thirsty
man... Or it can drown him.

So what you're saying is that Dahak is just
another name for the destructive impulse.

As long as we keep
these two forces in balance,

our world remains
in a state of harmony.

When Dahak entered this realm,

the balance of
power began to sway,

and with each
act of destruction...

the death of the
Sumerian gods...

death of the Druids...

Dahak grew stronger.

He wants me to destroy him.

Because he holds an
innocent soul within his grasp.

- Iolaus.
- Think of Dahak as a disease
that has infected your friend.

Now they are one and the same.

If I send Dahak
back into his realm,

I condemn Iolaus's
soul to the same fate.

You have always been a target
for the forces of darkness, Hercules,

because there is a perfect
union of man and god within you.

If you damn an innocent soul,

the balance of power in
this world will forever turn,

and Dahak will have
that which he craves most.

Chaos.

You sure this is gonna
work? I'm not sure of anything.

I made the mistake of
doubting Hercules once.

I'm not about to do it again. It's
not Hercules I'm worried about.

The God of Light has
summoned you both...

to join him at a
sermon in your honor.

Why, Jason, I didn't know you
were having guests. Neither did I.

Please thank him
for the kind invitation,

but we must decline.

Let's go, darling. We insist.

Must be one heck of a sermon.

I've got a question
for you boys.

These robes you're wearing...
They look very comfortable.

Did your mothers make
them for ya? Hmm?

Or are ya both shopping
at the same boutique?

Morrigan!

I've been itching to
do that for a long time.

So if I destroy Dahak,
I destroy the world.

But if you don't, Dahak will
continue to gather followers,

and we will come to fight not
one beast but a legion of darkness.

That's wonderful. It's not often
that things are worse than I thought.

Sorry, Hercules.
Wish I could offer more.

Perhaps mankind
has had its turn.

No. Nothing has ever determined
the course of our destiny.

I'm not about to
let Dahak start now.

You said he's like a disease. If
that's true, Iolaus can be cured.

I'm not following you.

If we could separate
Iolaus's soul from Dahak,

then Dahak can be
sent back into his realm...

and Iolaus will finally
be able to rest in peace.

You're talking
about an exorcism.

I witnessed one centuries ago. It's
not something I care to remember.

You could destroy Iolaus, and
Dahak would still have the world.

Do you have a better idea?

How do you expect to
restrain him long enough?

I'm gonna make
him see the light.

Our good news is we
found the stronghold.

What's the bad news?

Oh. I see.

The sun will be setting soon.
Hercules will be expecting us.

Well, let's just hope he
found a way to stop Iolaus.

It's checkout time.

I'm sorry, Morrigan. My mind
must be playing tricks on you.

Why are you doing
this? Ah, Jason.

When you found
the golden fleece...

I was so grateful to share
that experience with you.

And now I've found
something myself.

Call it... the truth.

And I so want you to
be part of that with me.

Come here.

Let me tell you something...

whoever you are.

If there's one
thing I've learned,

it's that anyone who says
they know everything...

doesn't know a
damn thing at all!

I admire your conviction,

and I hope it will be of use to
you for the rest of your life here.

And don't worry, Morrigan. I
haven't forgotten about you.

Well, lookee here.

I knew you'd betray us.

Why don't you take a shot at
me when my back's not turned?

I wouldn't want to
embarrass you twice.

Move! You coward!

Mnemosyne said the stone would
harness a light that'll weaken Dahak.

For how long? Until
the light fades. Sunset.

A day may not be enough time.

Dahak has spent an eternity
trying to enter our world.

He won't release your
friend without a fight.

He tried to use you like
he's using Iolaus, didn't he?

Imagine your every
primal desire...

rewarded with a surge of bliss.

Independent of any and
all moral consideration.

That is the voice of Dahak.

I was prepared
to give my life...

so the rest of the
world could hear it too.

What stopped you?

To this day, I
still do not know.

If Dahak is the name
for the impulse to destroy,

there must be a name
for the impulse to create.

Maybe it gave you the
strength to fight Dahak that day.

Perhaps.

But my family paid the price.

Dahak took their lives and
cursed me with immortality...

so that I would never
forget what I had done.

I'm sorry.

You're hoping that,
by defeating Dahak,

your immortality will end.

I'm hoping that my
family will forgive me,

wherever they are.

We will succeed, Zarathustra.

I promise.

Which way?

Your guess is as good as mine.

What if the stone
is no longer here?

Mnemosyne seemed
pretty sure that it would be.

Whoa.

Bingo.

Guards! Guards! Come quickly!

Look what he's done!
We tried to stop him!

Well, well.

Looks like it's time we
make room for our next guest.

Cut him down.

Hi, there. Huh?

Sleep well, boys.

Sorry to take the clothes
off your backs, fellas.

Free at last!

Who makes these things?

Be right back.

Whoa!

It's a long way down.

That's one giant
leap for mankind.

Can't be this easy.

I hate it when I'm right.

Hercules!

This isn't good.

Throw me your staff!

Here! Grab it!

I got you.

Here. Just grab my hand!

- Thank you.
- Oh, don't thank me.

You've got a very
competent staff.

I, uh... I think we should go.

Mmm. Let me take her out.

Please.

Try not to miss. I won't.

Hey, if you don't kill me now,

I'll take the whole

Oh, lighten up.

Can I breathe now?

That's a handy

It won't last. By sunset,
he'll be free again.

The demon must be driven out.

Then what are we waiting for?

Let the exorcism begin.
