Egypt is dead.

Our empire was once
vast and unchallenged.

The sound of our approaching army
struck fear in the hearts of our enemies.

Now we cower behind our borders.

We trade. We
barter. We negotiate.

If my father were still alive, he
would strike us all down as traitors!

We have allowed ourselves
to become weak and small.

But in our hearts, we are
just as strong as our ancestors.

Greece is defenseless.

Their gods were nearly
destroyed by the deity Dahak.

If we attack now, they
won't have a prayer.

Why attack a country
that's not a threat?

The Greeks are strong and proud.

They won't take long to
restore their former glory.

We've achieved great
prosperity through peace.

And while my dear Amensu
is too young to remember,

the rest of you will know that
war brought us nothing but death.

I have invited Greece's
most famous and noble son...

to discuss an alliance,

and I will not have this court
entertaining matters of violence!

Be careful, Mother. You may find
yourself in the minority on this one.

Then it's a good
thing I am queen.

Your proposal is rejected.

Once again, my
mother demonstrates...

her courage and wisdom.

If the Greeks are coming,

then we must prepare
a feast in their honor.

This court is adjourned.

Well done, Mother.

I only wish your sister
was more behind our cause.

So then the-the
good god, Osiris,

was persuaded by the evil god,
Iset, to-to lay down in the sarcophagus.

But you see, what Osiris didn't
realize... Was that it was all a trap.

Osiris was killed, and that's when
he became Lord of the Underworld.

I didn't realize you knew so
much about Egyptian history, Herc.

Well, when you hear the same
story four or five times in one day,

you start to catch on.

Sorry, buddy. It's
just, I-I'm so excited!

I mean, it's Egypt! You know? The
Sphinx, the Nile and... and the food.

Oh, I can't wait to get my first
bite of genuine Egyptian asp.

Mmm-mmm, goody. Herc,
this should be further over.

Hey! Guess how many stones
there are in the Great Pyramid.

I don't wanna
guess. Oh, come on!

I don't know. What...
Uh, 2,300,000.

Don't you get tired of being
right all the time? Uh, no.

I don't want to
disappoint you, buddy,

but I don't think we're gonna get a
chance to do a whole lot of sightseeing.

Huh? Queen Nefertiti said...

her advisors are in
a conquering mood.

Hopefully, we can show them that
Greece is a friend. Hercules is right.

From what I've heard, there's
been a lot of unrest in Cairo lately.

Oh, come on. Since
Queen Nefertiti took over,

Egypt has been one of the most
peaceful countries in the known world.

I guess we'll find out when
we get there tomorrow.

Actually, Hercules, we've made
good time. We'll reach Egypt tonight.

Yes!

Hey! Do you wanna
know what they do with the

pharaoh's insides
before they mummify him?

Do I have a choice? Huh?

Sure, yeah. I said, yeah.
Who wouldn't wanna know?

Okay, so first, they
have to take the brain out.

So they get this long kind of spatula
thing, and then they go up the nose.

Maybe we're, uh, early.

It looks like nobody's up yet.

Strange. What?

The royal palace...
Not a guard in sight.

Something's not right.

There it is.

I hope we're interrupting.

What do you think that does?

Well, why don't you find out?

Any closer, she dies!

I haven't heard that one before.

Iolaus!

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!

- Iolaus!
- What?

Hang in there, buddy!

I'm busy!

Hold on! Herc!

Come on.

I gotcha.

Whoa!

This is just a guess, but
you must be Hercules.

Um...

Thanks. Mmm!

Scarab pudding. Wow!

Herc, you gonna eat that?

It's all yours, buddy.
Thanks, buddy.

Mmm!

Hercules, Iolaus,

we are honored by your presence.

May this be the beginning
of a fruitful relationship...

between our two lands.

I would like nothing
better. To peace.

Yeah, to peace. Peace.

Peace is the last
defense of the weak.

My daughter's tongue is
sometimes too quick for her brain.

Hmm. Iolaus has the
same problem. Huh?

Oh, wow!

Asp stew! I've always wanted
to taste this! Yeah, you told me.

We've heard many stories
of the legendary Hercules.

And considering the events of last
night, I'm starting to believe them.

Thank you for saving
my mother's life.

You're welcome. Do you have any
idea who would wanna harm your mother?

I'm afraid that could
be almost anyone.

My mother's policy
of peace at all costs is

not being received as
well as she had hoped.

Even by her own daughter.

She and my mother have...

differing views on
how to run our kingdom.

And this is neither the time
nor the place to discuss it.

Still, I'd like to help
out in any way I can.

Are you saying that our government
cannot handle its own affairs?

He's doing nothing of the kind.

Your offer is
generous, Hercules,

but asking a guest to take
on such a responsibility...

would be considered
an offense in our country.

You've already done
more than enough.

To be honest, I'd be more
offended if I couldn't help.

That's true.

As you wish. You have
the run of the palace...

on one condition.

You must take some time to experience
the beauty and serenity of our land.

For now, please,

enjoy the bounty
provided us by the Nile.

Um could somebody
pass me the locust cake?

Thanks.

Don't you think you
should pace yourself? Huh?

Iolaus, did you find anything?

I don't know, Herc.

I can't find
anything suspicious.

Oh, boy. I gotta sit down.

Yeah, we're missing something.

Those assassins couldn't have
disappeared without a trace.

Well, no one saw
them leave the palace.

Maybe they never
went out that door.

I think I had too
many locust cakes.

What are you lookin' for?
Well, I'm looking for a...

A secret passage.

Herc? There's a
secret passage. Herc?

Now we know one thing...

It was an inside job.

I'm sorry that we
have to meet in secret,

but I do it only for
the good of Egypt.

The queen has diverted our military
resources to the arts and sciences.

You know as well as I do that
scrolls and statues won't protect us...

when our enemies come
banging on our doors.

Nefertiti has brought nothing
but good fortune to Egypt.

The queen has lost sight of everything
that our great empire once stood for.

Any loyal Egyptian
would know that.

Soon you will be
faced with a choice.

You can allow the queen to tear
down our kingdom stone by stone,

or we can work together to
resurrect the Egypt of our ancestors.

Your actions will determine
the future for this land for us...

and for our children.

I thank you for your time.
May Ra shine upon you.

Praise be to Ra.

Interesting speech.

Don't stick your nose where
it doesn't belong, Hercules.

It's liable to get
your head cut off.

- What do you think about that?
- Well, I think
it's potentially fatal.

It's good delivery, excellent
style. I'd give it a 4.5.

Style I'll give you, but
originality? Nah. 3.0, tops.

You don't have any
idea what's going on here.

From what I can tell,
your mother has done...

everything in her power
to bring peace to Egypt.

Now, what's wrong with that?
Oh, so she has you fooled as well.

Frankly, I'm surprised. I thought
you were more intelligent than that.

- My mother is not the saint
that you make her out to be.
- What do you mean?

You wouldn't
understand. Enlighten us.

I don't have time for this.

Oh, but you have time to
plot against your mother.

Why don't you get on your boat and go
home before you overstay your welcome?

Can't. We spent all our frequent
sailor miles just to get here.

- Nice comeback.
- I've been waiting a while
to use that one.

Every year, the Nile
overflows its banks.

Yeah, thus depositing
a rich, black...

Well, it's-it's almost
loam, really, or

silt, which nourishes
the next year's plants.

That's right, Iolaus.
Did you know...

At the Temple of Karnak
there are over 134 columns?

Actually, I didn't.
I'm impressed.

Apparently, Iolaus
is an Egyptologist.

I'm honored.

From here, you can
see the pyramids.

They're beautiful, aren't they?

Now, you see
the first one there?

That's the Great Pyramid.
That was built first.

The second one... that's the Pyramid
of Kafhre... that was built second.

And the third one over there
that's the Pyramid of Menkaure,

and that was built, uh, third.

What about that last
one? My husband started

construction on it
just before he died.

The Great Pyramid? That
houses the Necronomicon,

which is, you know, the Book
of the Dead, for lay people.

- Thank you.
- It did for a long time,

but the Necronomicon's magic
is powerful and dangerous.

And the threat of tomb raiders
forced me to have the Priests of Osiris...

move it to a safer location.

Queen Nefertiti, you don't see eye
to eye with your daughter, do you?

I loved my husband,

but he saw Egypt as nothing
more than a machine of conquest.

When he died, I saw a chance to
undo all the damage he had done.

But to accomplish that,
I had to make sacrifices.

Your children.

My duties took me away
from Ramses and Amensu.

Every night I'd look in on them
and make sure they were safe,

but I had to leave it to the nurses
and the priests to raise them.

But they felt abandoned.

As Egypt prospered,
my family suffered.

But Ramses seems to understand.

Mmm. He didn't.
Not for a long time.

- What about Amensu?
- With age comes maturity.

One day she'll understand what
it means to bear the weight of this.

Oh! The royal
seal! Here it comes.

May I?

See, this was first introduced
in the second dynasty...

by Tsepsbenhansu.

Iolaus. And it was used to
ratify the pharaohs' decrees.

You know, at first,
they didn't have this.

- They would use
stone cartouches.
- Iolaus...

They would stand them side
by side. Hey, look! The Sphinx!

Huh? Where?

My queen, forgive
my interruption.

Your presence is
required in the palace.

Excuse me, Hercules, Iolaus.

A queen's work is never done.

Well, I think we now know who was
responsible for sending those assassins.

Do we? I'm not so sure.

Oh, really? Well, I'm not
so sure you saw the Sphinx.

Egyptologist.

Is it completed? Yes, sire.

The court is primed and
ready. They won't oppose us.

Now we have only
one problem... Hercules.

Have no fear, sister.

By this time tomorrow, the
queen will be queen no more,

and Hercules will be
sentenced to death.

You know, I've been
thinking, Hercules, and,

well, my money's on Amensu.

Yeah, but something
doesn't add up.

Huh? Those assassins
weren't assassins.

Huh? They had plenty
of time to kill Nefertiti,

even before we got there.

They were there
for something else.

Ramses, I was just...

What happened with your hand?

It's just an unfortunate accident.
Nothing to concern yourself with.

Actually, our meeting
is fortuitous, Hercules.

Matters of the
court are pressing.

If you would do us the honor.

After you. That's not bad.

Iolaus. Huh? Oh,
uh, I'll come back.

Glad you could join us, Mother.

I was anxious to find out why the court
had been assembled without my permission.

Then I'll get straight to the point.
Why did you bring Hercules to Egypt?

I thought that was quite clear.

You all know that I live
only to serve my mother,

which is what
makes this so difficult.

But if nothing else, the queen
has taught us all one thing...

Egypt always comes first.

What are you getting at, Ramses?

You no longer have
to keep up the charade.

Spies loyal to Egypt
have intercepted this scroll.

In it, my mother yields
half of Egypt to Greece...

in exchange for peace.

Tell me, my friends,

what use is half a soul?

You know I would
never betray Egypt.

- I don't believe it.
- I didn't believe it either,

until I saw that it
bears the royal seal.

Greece has no interest
in Egypt except as an ally.

We'll hear no more of
your treacherous words.

Arrest them both...
And my mother!

Why are you doing this, Ramses?

Wait!

May I look at the scroll?

This is a fake.

The seal is a forgery.

How do you know?
There is only one seal,

and the queen has it in
her possession at all times.

Someone made a copy of it.

Ramses, why don't you tell us
what happened with your hand?

I told you... it was just
an unfortunate accident.

Well, then, you have
nothing to hide, do you?

I'm so sorry, my son.

Take him!

Come on, traitor!

Hercules, once again,
I owe you my thanks.

I can't believe Ramses
was behind all of this.

I can't believe I was so blind.

It's not your fault.

Yes, it is.

The scars Ramses
bears were caused by me.

If I had been more
present in his youth...

We're all faced with choices.

Sometimes that choice
is between two goods.

You did what you
thought was right.

For Egypt, yes.

And in so doing, I neglected
my duty as a mother.

It's not too late to
make up for lost time.

The crime of high treason
carries a sentence of death.

Ramses will be executed at dawn.

And you can't
alter the sentence?

I can't change the
law to benefit myself.

That would go against everything
I've worked for all these years.

Once again, I'm
faced with a choice...

between my family... and Egypt.

What should I do, Hercules?

Well, that's not
my place to say.

I mean, Ramses knew
exactly what he was doing.

We all have to take
responsibility for our actions.

Thank you, Hercules.

If you'll excuse me,
I need time to think.

One more thing.

Amensu was also... I know.

I know.

Mother?

I heard about Ramses.
I don't know what to say.

It's just the two of us.
You can drop the act.

- I don't know what
you're talking about.
- And I don't have time...

to argue with you.
No time for me?

That's new. Don't you get it, Mother?
This all happened because of you.

- If you had loved us...
- I am willing...

to take responsibility
for what I've done.

And I'm sorry for what you
had to go through growing up,

but I do love you.

I always have.

And there's nothing you
can say or do to change that.

Your brother is going to die...

if I don't do
something about it.

Free him.

Tell him to get out of
Egypt as soon as possible.

And, Amensu,
tell him I love him.

You are dismissed.
But, Princess...

You dare defy a royal command?

I knew you wouldn't
abandon me. Hurry.

You have to get out of Egypt
before they find out you've gone.

Leave Egypt? What do
you take me for, a coward?

I'm going to put an end
to this once and for all.

Ramses, it wasn't me who
freed you. It was our mother.

Too little, too late.
Where are you going?

Playtime is over.

There's only one way to
restore our father's kingdom.

Ramses?

Amensu, where's
Ramses? You're too late.

Listen to me. Your
brother needs help.

I have to find him. I thought
we were doing the right thing.

You have a chance to
do the right thing now.

Ramses is backed into a corner. He'll
lash out at anyone who gets in his way.

Do you really want to put
innocent lives in danger?

- Now where did he go?
- I don't know.

What was the last
thing he said to you?

He said he was going to
restore our father's kingdom.

Out of my way!

Ramses, you don't
know what you're doing!

What are you afraid of,
Priest? Are you scared of me?

I'm afraid of
what will happen...

when the Necronomicon
is returned to Egypt.

Have no fear. You'll
not be alive to see it.

By the gods!

Ramses.

- Ankatink?
- Who was he?

He raised me and Ramses
ever since I can remember.

He used to wake us
up in the morning...

and put us to bed at night.

Ramses couldn't have
done a thing like this.

Yeah, I'm sure he was
just tryin' to help out.

He was just doing what he thought is best
for Egypt. Sometimes that means sacrifice.

How about self-sacrifice?

But then again, that's not
the same thing as murder, is it?

You don't understand. Our
mother will lead Egypt to ruin.

Don't be ridiculous! Even
if you disagree with her,

stop denying that you love her, or
you're gonna end up just like Ramses.

Think she'll be all right?

If she weren't, she wouldn't
have led us here in the first place.

Somebody didn't
clean up after himself.

- Ramses has the map.
- What map?

Nefertiti had her priest...

move the Necronomicon
to a secret place.

Inside their own temple
would have been too obvious.

So in order for the descendants
to find it, they would need a map.

Hmm. And Ramses needs that
map to find the Necronomicon.

Now the only question is,
how do we find Ramses?

Wait a minute. What better place
to hide the Book of the Dead...

than in the city of
the same name, huh?

You know how to get
to the City of the Dead?

Do I know how to get
to the City of the Dead?

No. No, I don't. But-But I do
know where to start looking.

Oh, and, uh, it's not that way.

According to the oracle, we
should make a sacrifice to the gods.

It will be a good harvest...

We need to settle this.

Leave us.

I don't know what more I
can say besides "I'm sorry."

Mother, can you remember when I was
just a child? Before you became queen?

We used to take
walks along the Nile.

We'd run out into the water
before the guards could stop us.

We'd both end up soaking
wet and have to sneak

into the palace before
Father could see us.

You were very young. I'm
surprised you remember.

Don't you understand?

That is the only pleasant
memory that I have.

There is nothing else.

When you took the
throne, I lost my mother.

Amensu... I'm not through.

Ramses is out of control. Whose
fault that is, it doesn't matter.

But I don't want
to end up like him.

I suppose what I'm saying is,

I don't agree with what you did, but
I'm not ready to give you up either.

I'm glad to hear that.

Okay, see? An eye,

an owl, bird, squiggly lines.

This is where the
Necronomicon is.

So how do we
open it? Yeah, um...

Okay, look. Yeah,
see? Some hieroglyphs.

So, well, I guess all I got to is,
uh, push 'em in the right order.

Are you sure you
know what you're doing?

Who knows all the names
of the Egyptian gods?

Iolaus, I just don't
think you should...

You pushed it. Yeah.

- Oh, that's good.
- All right. Th-This is okay.

Uh, I just gotta
try another order.

Iolaus, wait.

Huh?

Yeah, good. Uh, okay,
okay. One more. Just...

Uh-uh-uh-uh. It's my turn.

Uh, Herc. Uh, Herc?

Uh... Uh... Come on!
Want a hand? Come on!

Looks like Ramses beat us to it.

Actually, you're just in time...

to witness my ascension.

Ramses, you don't
know what you're doing.

First, I'm gonna
put a final end...

to you and your friend.

And then I'm gonna
remake Egypt in my image.

I believe I know
exactly what I'm doing.

- We're trying to help you!
- Really?

Seems you're gonna
have to try a little harder.

This can't be good.

Herc! Mine's made of
stone! Any suggestions?

I'm workin' on it.

- A couple of hacks.
- Huh?

Oh! That's funny.

You always did like
the water. Ramses.

The Necronomicon.
Our victory is at hand.

We will be gods, Amensu.

And then we will
resurrect our father's Egypt.

Come. There is much to do. Wait.

Are you sure that
this is the right thing?

This is precisely what
we've been waiting for.

I'm just not sure that this is the
way we want to achieve our goals.

The taint of the foreigner is all over
you. What did Hercules do to you?

Nothing! Look, you're taking this too
far. You're losing yourself in your anger.

Hercules has fed you
this poison! Can't you see?

He and our mother have
orchestrated all of this!

They forced us to it!

I need you. You're
the only one I can trust.

We've made it this far
by relying on each other.

This is our chance to bring
back Egypt to its former glory.

It will all be over soon.

And then we can begin
our new life together.

Ramses has the
Necronomicon. I know.

He'll have the power to
destroy whoever gets in his way.

We'll see about that.

You don't understand. There's
no saving him now. He's your son!

My husband was obsessed
with the Necronomicon.

He thought it would
make him a god.

Before he could complete the spell, I
managed to get the book away from him.

Without its power, its magic
turned on him, and he was destroyed.

That's how my husband
died... By my hand.

Does Ramses know this? No!

I know you'll do everything
in your power to save my son,

but in the end, you must do
whatever it takes to save Egypt.

Ramses!

Congratulations. You'll be
the first to bow down to me.

You know, you give
egomaniacs a bad name.

I will never bow to you.

- Give me the book!
- Don't!

Your father tried to use that
book to become a god. It killed him.

I'm well aware of my
father's failure, Hercules,

but it was his faith in my mother that
destroyed him, not the Necronomicon.

- Amensu!
- Your brother doesn't care
about Egypt or its people.

- He's only out for revenge.
- A noble attempt, Hercules,

but my sister and I
are one and the same.

Our destinies lie together.

Amensu, don't listen to
Ramses. Don't listen to me!

Just listen to your heart.

No!

You'll be the first one to die!

Ramses, wait!

Without the book, you have
no protection from the magic!

Iolaus, get her out of here.

This way! Come on!

- Herc, you can't save him!
- I have to try!

Go! Go! Go! Come on!

Ramse-e-es!

Hercules?

Hercules.

I'm sorry about Ramses.

It's not your fault. You can't
save someone from themselves.

Maybe you can.

Hercules, I'm the one to blame,

and I'm not going to make
that same mistake again.

Thank you for giving me my life
back. I don't know how I can repay you.

How about by
becoming a family again?

Has anyone seen Iolaus?

Yo, Herc! Here!

Uh, nice hat. Looks good.

Thanks! I got you one, buddy.

Really? How thoughtful. Yeah.

Come on. Put it on.

It's gonna be a long trip home.

Huh? I said it's gonna
be a fun trip home.

Yeah. You know, it is,
because I met this guy,

and he claims to have
memorized all of the secret codes...
