All language subtitles for 11 Redemption

[ Man ]
Previously onHercules.

Well, isn't this
a pleasant surprise.

Yeah, it's a little
too pleasant.

Save yourselves!
It's Hercules!

- [ All Gasping ]
- But fear not, my children.

I will save you
from Hercules.

I've come to help.
Help me what?

I'm Zarathustra, the first
to believe the lies of Dahak
a thousand years ago.

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.

He wants me to destroy him.

Because he holds an innocent
soul within his grasp.

Iolaus.

If we can 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.

[ Gasps, Growls ]

[ Screams ]

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

[ Laughing ]

Then what are we
waiting for?

Let the exorcism begin.

I think you'll find
that easier said than done.

[ Laughing ]

[ Nebula ]
So, someone here actually
knows how to perform...

one of these exorcisms,
right?

I have observed
the ritual...

once.

Once? When?

[ Zarathustra ]
About 500 years ago.

[ Morrigan ]
How is this gonna work?

We'll make it work.
First, we must
prepare the room.

Hercules!
What is it?

There's something
in my hand!

[ Shuddering ]
Get it out! Hercules!

Jason! Hey!
Look at me!

Look at me!
[ Shuddering ]

Block them out
of your mind.

Whatever you're seeing,
it isn't real.

It isn't real.

What's the matter, Jason?
Am I bugging you?

Come on. Let's get you
out of here.

I'll be okay. I can't
let you go through
with this alone.

No. The best way
you can help is by
keeping yourself safe--

[ Snickering ]
and out of his reach.

Besides, you have to
take care of that.

Good luck.

[ Growls ]
And then there were four.

- Silence!
- [ Growls ]

[ Screaming ]

[ Gagging ]
The light is our ally.

It is our weapon.
When it disappears,
the demon will go free.

Then let's get started.

We have made the body
uncomfortable for
the occupying demon.

[ Snarling ]

Zarathustra.

Have a thousand winters
taught you nothing?

I'm as much a part
of this world as the light...

that warms the day.
[ Laughs ]

[ Gasps, Growls ]

This can't be good.

[ Gagging ]

[ Gagging ]

[ Dahak Speaking Backwards ]

-[ Dahak ] Come to the dark!
- [ Men Speaking Gibberish ]

[ Speaking Backwards ]

He's telling his followers
to find the god that was
once his ally...

and destroy him.

What fool god
would team up with Dahak?

Ares, but
he's vulnerable now.

Since Dahak came to
the world, all the gods
have been weakened.

Ares made his bed.
Let him lie in it.

Normally, I'd agree
with you, but if Dahak
wants Ares dead,

he must have
a good reason.

If he succeeds in
killing this god,

Dahak will become
strong enough
to break his bonds.

[ Growling ]

And we will have
lost our only
chance to stop him.

[ Man Narrating ]
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.

- [ Screeching ]
- [ Roaring ]

Hail!

I need you two
to find Ares before
Dahak's followers do.

- And now we get the honor
of protecting him.
- Only if you find him first.

We're on it.

Be careful.

[ Dahak Growls ]

Deception is the will
and the way of darkness,
Hercules.

The demon will say
anything to break us down.

I would not have
the strength to do this
without you.

Something's watching
over us, Zarathustra.

I can't explain it,
but I feel like we're
not in this battle alone.

I feel it too.

Perhaps the light that
restrains Dahak is, indeed,
a force beyond our reckoning.

Even so, it could be
dangerous to rely
on what we cannot see.

Things that make us
human can't be seen:

trust, friendship.

If I can remind Iolaus
what they meant to him,
we might have a chance.

[ Gasps ]

[ Hercules ]
That's where Gilgamesh
stabbed him.

Make the mark directly
over his heart.

[ Gasping ]

[ Screams ]
[ Iolaus's Voice ]
Hercules, please! Please, don't!

Please!
[ Groans, Cries ]

[ Laughing ]

This body is dead.
It is merely a vessel
for the spirit within.

You must go on.

What is more important
to you--

preserving the body
or saving the soul?

[ Groans, Growls ]

[ Groans, Screams ]

Do you really think
he'd be stupid enough
to hide in his own temple?

That's exactly the point.
Who'd think to look here?

I'm starting to think
we'd have more luck...

finding a virgin
in Caligula's palace.

Hold that thought.

- [ Groans ]
- Stop! We're here to help.

Funny.

I thought
you were here to die!

Oh, great.
Don't worry. Happens
to all men sooner or later.

We know you're vulnerable,
so does Dahak.

That's why he sent
his followers
to come kill ya.

[ Roars, Groans ]

Get away from me!

You are Ares, right?

- Who sent ya?
- Hercules.

So, let's play nice
and get moving.

[ Grunts ]

[ Grunts, Groaning ]

We don't have time
for this.

We call upon you,
light of all lights,

to purify the water
and cleanse this
innocent soul.

[ Growls ]
[ Screams ]

[ Laughs ]
Zarathustra,

I am so disappointed
in you.

We had an understanding.

I gave you power
beyond mortal limitations,

but you turned into
the worst kind of coward.

Why? Because he refused
to kill his family?

[ Grunts ]

You say, "Kill his family,"
as if that were a bad thing.

The truth is,
he didn't deserve them.

Not much of a family man,
are you, Zarathustra?

If you were, you wouldn't
have accepted me
into your heart...

so greedily,
but don't worry--

Your failure is my success,

and if it's any consolation,

whenIkilled your family,
I didn't give them a chance
to scream.

[ Gasps ]
No more of this!

[ Yells ]
Don't!

Dahak's feeding off
your hatred.

You're only
making him stronger.

[ Gasps ]

I'm sorry, Hercules.

I need some air.

[ Laughing ]

[ Young Boy ]
Daddy?

Zaylan?

Is it really you?

[ Laughs ]
My boy.

[ Laughs ]
Why can't you be
with us, Daddy?

Why can't you be
with us, Daddy?

I couldn't.

- We miss you.
- We miss you.

I miss you too.

I miss you all so much.

I--

I'd give anything
to be with you again,

but it's not possible.

Please, forgive me.

Never!

[ Groans, Yells ]

- [ Laughs, Growls ]
- [ Gagging ]

- [ Groans ]
- Zarathustra!

- [ Growls ]
- [ Gags ]

[ Gags ]
Let him go!

[ Zarathustra Screaming ]
Or you'll do what,

kill me?

Be my guest. It's the only
way to end his suffering.

[ Groaning ]

Kill me, damn you!

- [ Groaning ]
- [ Groaning ]

[ Moans ]

[ Gasps ]

At last...

I am... free.

Your family's waiting
for you.

Go. Find peace.

Thank you, my friend.

[ Exhales ]

Mmm.
[ Laughs ]

Oh, spare me your contempt.

I gave him immortality.
It was mine to take away.

I have no contempt for you,
only pity.

Zarathustra saw his
immortality as a curse.

Releasing him was
an act of mercy,

and since you don't know
the meaning of the word,

I'd say I'm getting
through to Iolaus.

Uh-uh-uh.

Zarathustra was the only
one who knew how to perform
the ritual.

Now it's just you and me...

buddy.

[ Laughing ]

Come out, come out,
wherever you are.

Come on, Ares.
We don't have time
to play hide-and-seek.

[ Unsheathes Sword ]

Why would Hercules
want to help me?

Because if you die,
Dahak steals
all your power,

and that won't
be good for any of us.

[ Grunting ]

I've heard of
religious conviction,
but this is ridiculous.

[ All Yelling ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Groans, Grunts ]

[ Grunting ]

- [ Yelling ]
- Is there another way
out of here?

There.

- [ Yelling ]
- Whoa!

You're all on my list!
Move it.

[ Groaning ]
You know, I'm
a little insulted.

Why didn't Dahak
come after me himself?

Hercules has him restrained.
That's why Dahak needs
your strength.

So, he's vulnerable?

Whatever you've got
in mind, forget it.

If you think I'm gonna
miss a chance to kill Dahak,
you think again.

This may be Herc's
only chance to save Iolaus,

and that's exactly
what's gonna happen.

Now, I may have agreed
to protect your sorry butt,

but don't think I won't
kick it myself
if you step out of line.

I like you.

We're not interfering
with Hercules,

and that's that.

Hercules is,
and always has been,
a fool.

His compassion for Iolaus
is his fatal weakness,

and you better believe
Dahak will take advantage
of it.

If Hercules fails,
we'll all suffer
the consequences.

We can argue about this later.
Right now, we gotta get
someplace safe.

[ Dahak ] You can continue
to pursue this trivial ritual
until sunset,

or you can save us both time
and kill me now.

Either way, I win.

- Keep telling yourself that.
- [ Laughs ]

I saw the Earth formed
out of nothing.

I brought the serpent
of temptation into man's garden.

I've even been known
on occasion,

to turn entire oceans
to sand...

in a single breath.

I think it's safe to say...

that I have the experience
to know how this will turn out.

You're forgetting one thing.

Oh?
Iolaus still has
the power to fight you.

[ Laughs ]
Your faith in your friend
is misplaced.

He invited me
into his heart...

and now we are one
and the same.

So, why do you refer
to him as "he"?

Iolaus would
never invite you
into his heart.

Why don't you tell me
how you seduced my friend.

Why should I
tell you anything?

Because I don't
believe you.

Then I'll do better
than tell you, Hercules,

I'll show you.

Oh!
[ Groaning ]

[ Chuckles ]
Hercules.

[ Nebula ]
Mm, life's just too short
to mince words, Goldilocks.

- Thanks for believing in me.
- That's what friends are for.

I feel like I need
a fresh start,

a new life.

I love you.

Welcome to the afterlife, son.

- I'm dead?
- You made me really proud, boy.

You died a noble death,

fighting for a cause
greater than yourself.

Wait a minute. These can't
be the Elysian Fields.

I wasn't in Greece when--

I didn't want
to frighten you.

This isn't exactly
an accurate representation
of your Elysian Fields,

but it's the best
I could do on such
short notice.

I'm gonna go out
on a limb here and guess...

that you're not really
my father, right?

Is this better?

Oh, lover, would you
prefer someone else?

There. Perfect fit.

Who are you?

A fellow traveler
who's prevented from
completing his journey.

- Dahak?
- I've been called many things.

Yeah. I can think
of a few right now.

In time, you'll come
to see me as your
greatest ally.

W-W-Wait, wait, wait.
This can't be happening.

Hercules will come
and get me. He's done
that before.

He'll try, but he'll fail.
This time it's forever, Iolaus.

No, there's a mistake.
My life can't just be over.

It doesn't have to be.

- What do you mean?
- I can restore everything
you've lost and more.

[ Scoffs ]
Yeah.

If I can bring you back
into the world with me, right?

Well, forget it.
I'd rather die--

or remain dead,
in this case.

You're the very thing
I spent my whole life
fighting against!

And what exactly
were you fighting for?

The chance to make
the world a better place.

And did you?

I don't even know
why I'm talking to you.

The truth is, Hercules
was the one pursuing
his destiny, wasn't he?

I mean, you just
happened to be along
for the ride.

Teaming up with Hercules
was one of the best things
I ever did.

Without him, I--

I think you're selling
yourself short,

but I guess it's too late
to do anything about it.

Now you'll always be
remembered as the man...

who lived in the shadow
of a greater hero.

That's if you're
remembered at all.

You sold him a lie.

I didn't have to sell him
anything.

The seeds of doubt were
already in his own heart.

Iolaus was a hero
in his own right.

Oh, that's what you
tell yourself to placate
your guilt,

but you know the truth,
don't you?

You used him merely
as a traveling companion...

on the road
to your destiny.
[ Laughs ]

What's so funny?

You obviously don't know
Iolaus very well.

You're too selfish
to understand.

Whenever I lost sight
of what we were
fighting for,

Iolaus reminded me
through his own
courage and strength.

I don't know what
his life would've
been like without me,

but I can't imagine
my life without him.

[ Growls, Roars ]

[ Roaring ]

[ Iolaus ]
Hercules!
Hercules, help me!

Iolaus?

[ Growling ]

[ Iolaus ]
Hercules, help me, please.

Come on.
Get me out of here!

You can do it.
You can fight.
Come on!

- [ Groans ]
- [ Iolaus ] Hercules!

- No, Iolaus, hang on!
- [ Iolaus ]
Hercules, you're fading.

A petty and theatrical
show of force,

but there's something
to be said for showmanship,
don't you think?

The tighter you hold on to
something, the easier it is
to lose it.

You can't hide behind
Iolaus forever.

I don't need forever.

I just need till sunset.

I never thought
the day would come...

that I'd be rooting
for my dear brother,

but the truth is I have
little faith in his chance
for success.

Just because we need you
alive, doesn't mean
we want your opinion.

- Are you seeing anyone?
- Down, boy.

Let's face it.

There's a chance
Hercules could fail.

- Now I know Iolaus
is important to him.
- And to me.

And to you. But even
you must admit,

he's not more important
than the rest of the world.

I hate to say it,

but he's got a point.

You're not actually
listening to this snake?

I believe Hercules
can save Iolaus--

you know that.

But we made a pact
to stop Dahak
no matter what happens.

It takes sacrifice
to win a war, Nebula.

Make no mistake--
That is exactly
what we're fighting here.

And as God of War, Ares,
you should know...

that the greatest victories
are won on the edge of defeat.

Now when Hercules says
he's gonna do something,
he does it,

and if we get in his way now,
we may ruin his chances
of pulling this off.

We should at least
talk to him about it.

Fine. We'll talk to him,

but the decision's his--
you got that?

Yeah, mama.

[ Grunts ]

[ Gasping ]

You're not lookin'
too hot.

[ Gasping ]

The limitations of the flesh.

One uses what one can
to get by.

Feel free to hop
out of there anytime.

Feel free to kill me
at any time.

[ Scoffs ]
I don't think so.

I know Iolaus.
He resisted you then.
He'll resist you now.

Oh, true, at first
he did resist,

but then he opened up
his heart to me...

like an old friend.

I thought you'd like
some company.

Funny thing about death--
all you take with you
is your regret.

Nothing to do but consider
the mistakes you made and
wonder what might have been.

I had a good life.
I have no regrets.

Yes, you do.

You always wanted
to settle down someday--

marry, have children,

share your adventures
with your son--

to know that
some part of you
would live on.

Listen, you black-hearted
bastard!

Of course I have some
regrets! Of course I do!

But being a friend
of Hercules is not
one of them.

I didn't mean
to offend you.

Actually, you have
a lot to be proud of.

You faced the same dangers
that Hercules did,

with a fraction
of his strength,
which,

if you think about it,
makes you even braver
than he is.

Why don't you go
and torture some animals
or whatever it is you do,

but just get away
from me!

Imagine what a man
like you could've done
with Hercules's strength.

Imagine what you could
do now with the power
of a thousand gods.

Just what
I've always done,
help people.

Then go right ahead.

What you see is not
an illusion. He's a real
person in the real world.

[ Shudders, Yells ]

- Help!
- And he'll fall to his death...

unless you save him.

[ Scoffs ]
By making a deal
with you? No chance.

- [ Screams ]
- Consider this a trial run
with no strings attached.

Now where's the harm
in that?

His life
is now in your hands.

Somebody help me!
[ Shudders ]

[ Grunting ]

You could get used
to this kind of power,
couldn't you?

But what if you knew
that this man was
a cold-blooded killer.

If he lives, he'll soon
meet up with this family
traveling home from a picnic.

It's the daughter's
seventh birthday.

He'll threaten
to kill the child--
Come on!

if the parents
don't hand over
their valuables.

They'll do as he asked,
of course, but...

-he'll kill them all anyway.
- [ Grunts ]

[ Screaming ]

You have the power
to save them.

By...letting this man...
die.

[ Grunting ]

Time's running out.
What to do?

What to do?

[ Screaming ]

[ Screams ]

Congratulations, Iolaus.
You've just committed murder.

He was gonna kill
those people.

So you took it upon yourself
to punish him for a crime
he hasn't committed yet.

Technically, he died
an innocent man.

- I am tired of your games!
- But you're learning,
aren't you?

The abstract notions
of right and wrong
that you hold so dear...

no longer have to mean
anything.

With the power
I give you,

you can shape the world
as you see fit...

and fulfill
your true destiny.

You used his good
intentions against him
to corrupt him.

He wasn't forced
into anything.

He chose his own path.

Isn't that what you've
always believed in, Hercules?

The right to choose
your own path.

[ Groans ]

[ Moaning ]

Any ideas on how
to get past
the goon squad?

I vote for
the direct approach.

Listen, you waste
of space,

there's no way
the three of us
can get past that crowd.

I think I've got
just enough power left
for one last trick.

Well, what did you
have in mind?

[ Grunts ]
Let me give you
a hand.

[ Rumbling ]

[ Moaning ]

Oh, he's been
an inspiration.
Look!

There he is,
the God of Light!

[ Man ]
Hallelujah!

[ Ares ] My children,
I come with a message:

The infidels
are within your reach!

- [ All Gasp ]
- Rise up and defend
your faith!

I hate being
the center of attention.

[ Grunting ]

What do you think?
I think not!

[ Yelling ]

[ Laughing ]

The sun has begun to set.
[ Laughs ]

Yeah, it looks like
you're almost out of time.

Ah, optimism, Hercules,

is the shield of fools.

As long as people
allow themselves
to be ruled by their wills,

there will always
be those who take my path.

But there'll be more
that don't.

There's something
in everyone even you
can't touch, Dahak--

the impulse to create,
to nurture life instead
of destroy it...

and as long as it exists,
I'll keep my optimism,
thanks.

And I'll keep your friend.

Why do you keep
denying your own
potential, Iolaus?

You can bring a new kind
of justice to the world.

No one should have
that kind of power.
The gods have it!

Do they deserve it
anymore than you do?

No.
Then take it
from them!

Think of all the suffering
they've caused.

The plague Hera brought
to Mycenae.

Just to teach the king
a lesson?

Thousands of innocents
died lingering deaths.

I know. I was there.
And you did your best
to help.

But in the end,
what can one mortal
really do...

to oppose the gods?

If you had had the power
to stop Hera, you would
have, wouldn't you?

Yes.
Even if it meant
killing her?

Yes. Yes, all right?
I hate her!

I hate them all.
In your hatred, we have
found our common cause.

We both want to rid
the world of the gods,

but we've been helpless
to stop them until now.

That's not true!
One personcanmake
a difference to the world...

and to me!

[ Laughs ]
Empty words.

[ Gagging, Growling ]

I wasn't talking to you,
Dahak.

Everything you thought
you accomplished amounted
to nothing in the end.

[ Sighs ]
Let go
of your regret.

Death has set you free.
You call this freedom?

It can be whatever
you make of it.
Take your life back!

Even the score against
the gods. Succeed where
Hercules failed.

All you want is for me
to bring you back
into the world.

That's true, but
what we do out there
will be up to you.

I'm your servant, Iolaus.
I'm powerless without
your help.

In our partnership,
you will be the one
who's in control.

[ Growling ]

You can do it, Iolaus!

[ Iolaus ]
It's working! I hear you!

- [ Moaning ]
- Fight him!

It's all within your reach.
Everlasting life.

The chance to purify
the world.

All you have to do
is take my hand.

Come on, Iolaus!
Come on!

Take my hand.
Do it now!

- Come on! Take my hand!
- [ Screams ]

[ Screaming ]

- [ Groans ]
- [ Iolaus ] He's too strong!

- No!
- You had your chance, brother.
Now, it's my turn.

-Get out!
-You know what has to be done.
You're not man enough to do it.

I swear, I will kill you
myself if you get in my way!

Whoa!
[ Grunts ]

Allow me.

[ Gagging ]

We got company!

[ Grunting ]
[ Yelling ]

- Time's up.
- You got that right.

[ Groaning ]

- Iolaus?
- What took you so long?

Well, it's a long...
story.
[ Growling ]

- [ Growling ]
- You took something that
doesn't belong to you, Dahak.

I'm here to repossess.

[ Snarls ]

No!

[ Yelling ]

- Look out!
- [ Both Grunting ]

It's just like old times.
Yeah, it's fun, isn't it?

[ Grunting ]

[ Gagging ]

[ Grunting ]

-[ Hercules ]
He looks pretty angry.
- He always looks that way.

[ Groaning ]

[ Grunting ]
What's going on
in there?

You got any ideas?
No.

- [ Growling ]
- [ Hercules ]
Life on the edge.

Uh, Iolaus,
Thermopylae.

[ Growling Ceases ]

[ Shouting Stops ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Sniffs, Sighs ]

[ Laughs ]
He did it!

You know,
I'm feelin' so good,

I think I'll let
you two live.

Oh, gee.
I feel all warm
and fuzzy inside.

[ Laughs Mockingly ]

[ Sighing ]

He's gone.
I can't feel him anymore.

You never gave up
on me.

What do you expect?

You're the best friend
I ever had.

Well, I betrayed you,
Hercules.

I betrayed you
and everyone else
that had faith in me.

I just--

hope you can find it
somewhere in your heart
to forgive me.

I already have.

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.

[ Sighs ]

I don't know
what to say.

Let's not say anything...

except...

see you around.

I'll see you around.

[ Sighs ]

[ Zarathustra ]
You were right,
Hercules.

The impulse to create
does have a name.

Good-bye, Iolaus.

Hercules. Hercules.

Hercules.

Welcome back.

You all right?

Yeah. I'm fine.

Everything's fine.
