All language subtitles for Hercules The Legendary Journeys S05E17 - 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.

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.

Change is good. Change is good.

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

Bye!

That's quite a show.

I'll cover backstage.

Odds bodkins, man!

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

Wait! Look! Huh?

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.

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.

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!

Gangway!

Come back here!

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.

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...

equine things.

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

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.

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

Accident. I ran into a wall.

Does the wall have a name?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Faster, you little maggots!

You're not getting any
younger. Fifty more!

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.

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.

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?

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... 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. My timing's
improved a lot since then.

No kidding. Lilith.

Yeah. Hey.

Wow.

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

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?

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. 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.

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?

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.

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. Hey.

Follow me. We may
have some trouble.

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.

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.

Hey, watch this! In
more ways than one.

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.

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.

Are you all right? Mm-hmm.

Just need some air.

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

Look out. Coming through.

- Hey!
- Pathetic lush.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Yeah!

- You're no fun.
- Yeah!

- I still want a pony.
- Yeah!

I just wet my pants.

Quiet!

All right, great.

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.

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.

Hey, kids.

♪ It pays to stay in school

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

Just follow me!

One, two, three. Ha!

Go. Go. Cover me.

I got him. I got him.

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

Heads up, daddio.

Better hurry if you
want some dessert.

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.

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.

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.

Hey. Hey.

- Either of you seen Tabor?
- He's not in his room. No.

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? Burn, baby, burn.

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.

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.

Huh?

Hoo-ah!

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. 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. 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.

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.

Well, it does slice and dice.

- When you're ready.
- Excuse me.

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!

You go, girl.

Let's get out of here.

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

Come on. Food fight.

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.

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.

Nope. They never miss.
