All language subtitles for Hercules The Legendary Journeys S05E22 - Revelations

Previously on Hercules.

Temptation comes to
everyone sooner or later, Iolaus.

Although you were led astray,
you are and always have been...

a servant of the Light,

and so you have
earned your place in it.

I have come to take you home.

Good-bye, Iolaus.

Iolaus!

Please help me! They're
gonna hurt my sister!

Your sister?

Sure. Yeah.

Come on! I'll be
right behind you.

Whoa. No more stewed
possum for me. Whew!

We beseech you,
mighty God of War,

accept our offering
of flesh and blood...

to assure our victory
in the coming battle.

- Ares, save us!
- Kill the virgin!

Huh? Hi.

I'll take it from here.

How dare you!

Believe me. It wasn't that hard.

What is wrong with you people?

War requires
sacrifice, Hercules.

They're trying to save their
sons if this war can be averted.

By killing their daughters?

If you really want to save
lives, sit down with your enemy...

and work out a peace
you can all live with.

Save your preaching
for the faithful.

You may have no respect for
the gods, but we can't afford not to.

I can see that. Excuse me.

If you're thinking about buying
Ares' good grace, think again.

He doesn't have any.

Take your money back. Please?

Well, you've assured our
defeat. Congratulations.

That's mine! That's not yours!

Hercules!

Hercules!

Need your help.

End... of the world.

Definitely no more possum stew.

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!

I owe you my life, Hercules.

It's your sister you should
thank. She brought me here.

I've been raising Mia
since she was born.

Our parents were
killed in the Trojan War.

From what I can tell, you've
done a great job in raising her.

Thanks, Hercules.
You're welcome.

We should get going now.

Yeah. Bye.

See you, Hercules! Bye-bye.

Be safe.

Hi.

Mmm. Virgins. Gotta love 'em.

And I mean that.

Oh, goody. Now
my day's complete.

I thought you'd
outgrown virgin sacrifices.

What can I say?
I'm a child at heart.

The truth is, I
didn't ask for this.

Mortals have been
kinda irritable lately.

I don't know what's
gotten into them, but I'm

not the kind to look a
gift horse in the mouth.

You didn't start all this? No,
they're doing it all on their own.

And I think they could go
all the way. I am so proud.

Enjoy it while it lasts,
'cause I'm about to stop it.

Well, that's new.

Mmm?

Hercules!

Great.

Hey, Falafel. Wow. It's
nice to see a familiar face.

Speaking of which, can I
interest you in a fun mirror?

I'd love to, but I kinda have
a war to stop before it starts.

Tell me about it. Food rations
forced me to give up my stand.

- And that's a bad thing, right?
- Hmm?

Try this.

I look like a Cyclops.

See? You're having fun already!

Yes, I am. Now,
wait till you see this.

Try this one. Yeah.

The Peloponnesian Plains.

N-No time!

Is something wrong?

I'm sorry, Falafel, but
this isn't my idea of fun.

Special discounts
for valued customers!

My people are demanding war.

As are mine.

We are kings, you and I.

We must do what's
best for our people,

even at the risk of
our own popularity.

Agreed. Let's meet at
sundown to negotiate.

Can we trust them, my lord?

I imagine they're asking
themselves the same question.

The king! What's happened?

Shoot! Over there! Kill them.

No!

Charge!

Charge!

I had this battleground
scheduled for next week.

Looks like the locals
have gone proactive on me.

Aah! Oh, now, that...

is what I call a healthy
exchange of ideas!

Yes! Author! Author!

Hey, hey, people! Energy!
Focus! Work with me here!

Hercules!

Going to get... worse.

Help me.

Okay, now I know
I'm not imagining that.

Help me.

Hi, buddy.

Whoa!

Wh... Who are you?

Hercules, it's me!

Don't touch me. Wait, it's me!

It's Iolaus! It's me!

- Iolaus?
- Yeah! I'm back!

Really? Yeah, really!
This is me, Hercules!

It's me! It's Iolaus?

Yeah!

Buddy! Look at you!

Wait. W-W-W-W-Wait, wait, wait!

How could... This
can't be possible.

I-I know. It's kind of
hard to understand.

But, Hercules, I'm back.

I mean, I'm not completely
back. There is... But I'm back.

And I'm not, "I'm gonna
kill you" or anything like that.

It's really me, and I'm here!

Well, you act
like you're Iolaus.

It's 'cause I am the Iolaus
you know. Look! Hey! Whoo!

Hello, little buddy!
Hey! It's me!

Even if I am hallucinating, it
sure is good to see you again!

You too! Iolaus.

But how?

Uh... you better
sit down, Hercules.

Um, I...

You know, I wish I
could explain this to you,

tell you about where I've been.

It's like I...

I didn't realize before that there
was so much more beyond our world.

I mean, beyond what
we can even imagine.

- Sounds great.
- No!

No, no, no, no. It's
better than great.

It's like I have been
living in a perfect light.

You know, the only word I
can use to describe it is, uh...

bliss.

Wow. Yeah.

Uh-oh.

- Uh-oh?
- What?

What what? You said "uh-oh." When
you say "uh-oh," it usually means trouble.

I said "uh-oh" because you wouldn't
have come back if there wasn't trouble.

- Have you ever been wrong?
- I thought so once,
but I was wrong.

Right.

Hercules, there's
something you'd better see.

Uh-oh.

It's one of the four seals.

The four seals? Yeah.

See, um, the Light
has Guardians.

Uh, in fact, I'm
one of them now.

You? Yeah.

Really? Yeah.

This is a good thing, right?

Well, originally
there were four,

but, uh, when the Light decided to
invite others into the club, so to speak,

the first four, they
turned against him.

So they didn't like
to share. No kidding.

And, anyway, these, uh...

These Four Horsemen carry
the four plagues of Armageddon,

which would be, oh, you know,
pestilence, war, famine and...

death.

See, at first the
Light had them all

imprisoned so no harm
would come to the world.

And now someone's
setting them free.

Yeah, a, uh, a
Guardian of the Light.

And every time he breaks a seal,
another Horseman is released.

Along with another plague.

Along with another plague.

Well, if all four
are released...

They'll have enough
power to destroy mankind.

Correct.

Kill me.

The tracks go this way. Yeah,
looks like Michael's got a head start.

Well, well. The dynamic
duo are together again.

Wait. Aren't you dead?

He's just visiting.

Why don't you be
annoying someplace else?

Lucky for you I'm in a
good mood, little brother.

War's on an all-time high; greed
and hatred are running rampant.

I don't know what's
going on, but I love it!

Hyah! Moo...

He shoots, he kills!
That was a cow.

Udder destruction.

At least he's having fun.

Fun? Oh, this is way
past fun. This is bliss.

I've never felt so alive.

If this keeps up, I can pay back Dad
for all the spankings he's given me.

As usual, Ares, you're lost in
your own delusions of grandeur.

Yeah? Well, you're a
hypocrite. Hypocrite?

- What?
- That's right, pretty boy.

Always getting bent out of shape
when the gods interfere with humanity.

Well, this time I got nothing to do
with what's going on around here,

and you're the one interfering.

I don't have time
for this conversation.

- The world's about to end,
and we have work to do.
- Whoa, whoa.

The world is about to end?

That's right.

- You're bluffing.
- Okay, I'm bluffing. See ya.

Boy. Poor Ares. Have
to work it out for himself.

I guess so, but in a way
I envy him. Envy him?

Sure. I mean,
ignorance is bliss.

I hate when they do that.

Yaaah!

Show me the mark.

We have company.

Deal with them,
and be quick about it.

I wanted to ask
you... I just wanted...

You first. No, no, after you.

Uh, you know, I-I-I know you...

You said you'd forgiven me...

for what happened with Dahak.

Iolaus, I didn't just
say it. I meant it.

The last thing I want is
for you to beat yourself up...

over something that wasn't
your fault... it's ancient history.

I'm just... I'm just
glad to see you again.

Hercules, I have to
tell you something.

Uh-oh.

Yeah, uh-oh.

I-I can't stay.

When this is over,
I have to go back.

Because?

Because I didn't exactly get a leave
of absence to come here, you know.

I-I kinda snuck out.

We're not allowed to do that.

Technically speaking, we're not
supposed to get involved with people.

Oh, come on. Nobody
ever follows that policy.

Yeah, but these
guys are... Yeah.

So, how long before
you have to go back?

Well, it's only a matter of time
before they figure out I'm gone.

Wow. Yeah.

I wish I could stay,
Hercules. Really, I do.

I know I made it out to be kinda perfect,
being a Guardian of the Light and all.

But, well, the truth is,
they don't have everything.

There's no fishing trips, no
women, no monsters to fight.

No women.

Yeah.

I know it...

It hasn't been the same
without you down here either.

By the way... What?

Duck. Huh?

Aah!

A friend of yours?

Uh, we haven't been
formally introduced.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Whoa, he sure has a
serious ax to grind. Funny.

You sure he missed
us? Yeah, I'm sure.

Okay, you know
the routine. Okay.

- Whoops. Too high.
- Hercules!

Works every time.

Wow. That's a little high.

- That's what I call
turning the other cheek.
- Hyah!

I got him... Aah!

I got him!

Nice try.

Hyah!

War.

What's it good for?
Absolutely nothin'.

Hey, uh, a little high on the
throw, I thought. I was way up there.

You bought me all
the time I needed.

The Second Horseman's
been released.

And that would be famine.

Keep back! You've
got more than enough!

This is my food! I'm starving!

Come back here! Come back here!

- Please, sir...
- Keep back!

- I don't need much, just
enough for my little sister.
- Keep back, or I'll cut ya!

Didn't your mother tell you
never to play with knives?

- Let me go.
- That's a good idea. Why don't you go?

Hey, hey, hey!

We're doing everything
we can to stop this.

But you have to look out for
each other, especially now.

Please, whatever
you have, just... share.

Here. Thank you.

And you? Yes.

Are you all right? Yes.
But there's no food left.

Here. Thank you.

- We're running out of time.
- What's going on, Hercules?

Hopefully I'll have
time to explain later.

But for now, you two just
stay indoors and be careful.

Go on. Okay.

We've gotta stop Michael.
It's easier said than done.

He's more powerful than
anything we've been up against.

Set me straight on something.

Michael's a Guardian
of the Light, right? Right.

And the Light banished the
Four Horsemen from Earth. Yeah.

So why would he betray the
Light by releasing them again?

He didn't betray the Light.

The Light sent him here.

I thought it wanted to keep
the forces locked away.

Well, at first it did, but...

the Light is not too happy with
what's been going on around here.

Well, look around, Hercules.

You know, people have changed.

There hasn't been a night
in over a thousand winters...

that someone hasn't been
murdered or robbed or beaten.

And believe me,
someone is keeping track.

And this same someone...

has come to the conclusion that
it's better to destroy everything?

Well, it depends on
how you look at it.

You could say
we're starting over.

Whose side are you on, Iolaus?

I came back to
warn you, didn't I?

Yeah.

The hungry usually
make the best warriors.

But the starving can't
even hold up a sword!

We don't have time for
your puppet show, Ares.

Look, I had a pretty
nice little war going here,

then someone started
messing with the food.

- You and your little playmate
know who it is. I want names.
- "Playmate"?

Gee, Iolaus, sounds to me
like Ares is asking for our help.

No! Really? Yeah!

See, what I'm saying is,

when I find whoever's responsible for
taking the food out of my soldiers' mouths,

I'm gonna get him, see,

I'm gonna rip his head off,

reach down his
throat and pull out...

Where did you get all this
hostility? He was born that way. Sad.

Enough!

I want names!

Well, you're not gonna
be able to miss Michael.

He's not exactly from here.

Michael? Cool. Let's go.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. You're not
doing anything. You understand?

- You don't want my help?
- Not only do I not want
your help, I don't need it.

Have you forgotten
who you're talking to?

You are talking to Ares, God
of War, and I have spoken!

- Oh, boy.
- You want a fight?

Well, you've come to
the right place. Yeah.

Living in his own little world.

Mmm.

For the first time in my life, I can
actually say I'm worried about him.

Hmm.

Show me the mark.

Boys, it's time to crack
open a barrel of whup-ass.

Destroy them.

Charge!

So that's how you
wanna play it, huh?

Et tu, War?

Aaah!

Boy, this is bad. If Death
gets released, it's all over.

If it wasn't the end of the world,
this'd be a nice vacation spot.

Your sense of humor has gotten
pretty nihilistic lately, don't you think?

Yeah... What's "nihilistic"?

Ares.

Looks like we're gonna have
to do this the old-fashioned way.

You will not prevail, godling.
Spare yourself the humiliation.

Oh, I will, just as
soon as you kiss my ax!

I warned you.

It's quiet.

It's too quiet.

Aah!

Oh, yeah! Now I'm
startin' to get angry!

You are interfering in something
that does not concern you.

I can say the same for you.

Understand this:

You are an insect...

caught in the
path of a hurricane.

You have no power to stop it,

and no shelter can protect you.

Such is the way of things.

Then you have nothing
to worry about, so you can

go about your business
and I'll go about mine.

Iolaus.

You have violated
a sacred trust...

by warning a mortal
of the Reckoning,

and you will atone.

Oh, I hate atoning.

Excuse me, but
I'm only half mortal.

Yeah, he has a good point.

Mankind has
squandered its gifts.

Time and time again, it has
chosen to turn its back upon the Light.

And so the time has
come to purify the world.

I am not going to let you punish
everyone for the crimes of a few.

We cannot be defeated,

not even by one
of your strength.

Our success is preordained.

You need not concern
yourself, Hercules.

Your place in the realm of the
Light has already been assured.

But if you continue to
pursue this futile quest,

you'll be forever
banished into darkness.

Is that supposed to be a
threat or a bribe? It was both.

Mm-hmm.

My place is among people.

I wouldn't want to be
a part of anything that

didn't understand
how important they are.

Your faith is misplaced.

I don't think so.

But it's a faith I'm
willing to die for.

And you will.

Yeah.

There's only one
Horseman left. Death.

And if he gets
loose... He won't.

When I get my hands on that
holy freak, it's... Aaah! Aaah!

Do the world a favor,
Ares... go home.

Hey, you can't beat Michael and his
little friends without me, and you know it.

And what, exactly, do
you bring to the table?

Good looks?

Look, I'll consider
this if... only if...

you're willing to work
together as a team.

I'm the God of War. I'm not
supposed to be a team player.

But I don't want the world
to end any more than you do.

- Then we do this my way.
- Whatever it takes
to stop Michael.

- Where's he headed?
- After the last seal.

Could be anywhere. Maybe not.

Huh?

War was imprisoned in
earth. Famine, in water.

Pestilence, in
the air. Brilliant!

So what?

My brother... a genius.

There's only one
element missing.

Show me the mark.

Hercules.

Our adversary is living
up to his reputation.

He cannot be
allowed to interfere.

Go!

You looking for us?

Those two generals you
toasted... they're my favorites.

Do I smell... rematch?

Yeah!

Any more ideas? Running's good!

And so it ends.

You got that right.

But not in your favor.

Oh!

Weigh your decision
carefully, Hercules.

It will determine your destiny.

I wouldn't have
it any other way.

Now that I'm warmed up...

Remind me again
why I'm doing this.

Gotta buy Hercules
some more time.

That bought us
about three seconds.

Uh-oh. Uh-oh?

Yeah. See, when I
say "uh-oh," it means...

Forget it. Come on.
Again with the running.

Why are you fighting, Hercules?

This is a choice
mankind's made for itself.

Funny, I'm one of them, and I
don't remember making that choice.

You are blind, Hercules.

Look at what your precious
humanity has become.

The Day of Reckoning is at hand.

And who's gonna
judge you, Michael?

Boy, I am way out of my league.

Ohh!

No!

Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh.

Start with the traitor.

Over my dead body.

Hercules.

Where am I?

Congratulations, Hercules.

You have succeeded
in your challenge.

According to the
law of the Light,

if one man is willing
to sacrifice himself,

then there is hope
for all humanity.

This was all a test?

Thanks to you, the world
has earned another chance.

Thanks to me.

Iolaus risked his
soul to warn me.

What does that tell
you about people?

Your humility seems
to know no bounds.

But your point is well taken.

Hercules!

Are you alive?

Maybe not.

Beyond your sacrifice,

it was your friendship that
renewed the Light's faith in humanity.

The world would be
a far better place...

if everyone held such
respect for their fellow man.

While I would prefer to add you to
our ranks of valiant warriors, Hercules,

you will better serve the
Light's will by returning to Earth...

and continuing to
lead by example.

There you go, old buddy. I
always said the world needs you.

And you, Iolaus.

- Your betrayal of the Light
comes at a high price.
- Uh-oh.

You are expelled from
this realm and condemned...

to continue your life
at Hercules's side.

Oh, man.

Wait a minute.

You're sending me back?

You will have
another chance at life.

But remember,

in the end you will be
judged a second time.

So it is, and so it shall be.

Michael.

Thanks.

Are we where I think we are?

It looks like it.

Hey.

Welcome back, buddy!

Thanks, Herc! I can't
believe you brought me back.

Oh, no, no, no. You did this
yourself. Don't blame it on me.

Hey, I'm back. I mean, I'm back!

I'm back! I'm back! Yaa-haah!

I'm back, everybody!

♪♪ Iolaus! Iolaus, Iolaus.

It's... It's okay. You're
starting to scare people.

Am I scaring you?
Oh, no! Not at all!

Didn't mean to interrupt your fuzzy
little moment, but I wanted to, um...

Guess what I'm
trying to say is, um...

You came back
to say... thank you?

Yeah, right.

No, I just wanted to make sure
that none of my toys got broken.

Yeah, sure. Sure you did.

Well, I...

hate to admit
this myself, but...

you finally kept your
word for once, Ares.

Thanks.

This changes nothing.

Nothing!

'Cause I am still the
king of combat! Yeah!

Ares. Delusional.

Multi-delusional. Hercules!

Hey! Penelope! Mia!

Place looks better
than last time, huh?

Whatever you did, it
sure worked magic.

These are for you, in case
you get hungry on the road.

How 'bout them apples?
Thanks, Penelope.

- Bye.
- Bye, Hercules.

Mmm! See ya.

Hercules, I forgot what
it was like to be hungry.

Knock yourself
out. Thanks, Herc.

You're welcome.

Where we gonna go now? Anywhere
you want, buddy. Anywhere at all.

Well, how about we
go to Thrace? Thrace?

Oh, there you go. I got
plenty now. Thank you.

I'm Iolaus, by the way. Very
nice to meet you. Bye, Iolaus!

Watch out. Oh! Oh, oh!
Sorry! It's okay, it's okay.

I'm new to the place. I
can't take you anywhere.

Hey, hey there!
You're beautiful!
