All language subtitles for The Fury Of Hercules

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-[INAUDIBLE], Hermes!

There's a chariot coming!

[MEN YELLING]

-Hercules, son of Zeus!

Leave him alone, I say.

Come on!

[MEN YELLING]

-Leave him alone!

Get moving!

[INAUDIBLE]

-Strange.

I wouldn't have thought
they were robbers.

-Hercules, one day I'll
be as strong as he is.

-And now, run like the
wind, my friend. [INAUDIBLE]

is waiting for us.

Ya!

Ya!

[MUSIC PLAYING]

--[INAUDIBLE] Put
your back into it,

you good for
nothing, [INAUDIBLE].

Move, I said!

Take that!

I said move!

Put your back into it, I said!

Get moving!

[INAUDIBLE] over there.

You, get in over
here and help him!

Move, I said!

Pull!

Pull, I said!

You, [INAUDIBLE]!

No, no water!

Move, I said!

-Ya!

Ya!

Ya!

[CROWD CHATTERS]

--[INAUDIBLE], there's a
chariot coming up to the gate!

-How many men in it?

-There's only one.

But his muscles are so big,
he might as well be two!

-You hear that, [INAUDIBLE]?

-He's bigger that you and
your belly put together.

-Ah, stop it, will you?

I'll go myself and get a
good look at this colossus.

-[INAUDIBLE].

Stop there.

Stranger, tell me who you are.

-I am Hercules of Thebes.

--[INAUDIBLE] hasn't got
an eagle eye, obviously.

You're a powerful man, all
right, but you're not Hercules.

-Something tells me you've never
seen him before in your life.

[MEN YELLING]

-Son of Zeus, no mistake.

Hurry.

Go tell Menistus.

Run!

-There's no sense
using a whip on men

who are too weak to move.

-News of your great achievements
has come to us with a merchant

caravans that pass
here, but none of ever

dreamed that one day
the gods would bring

you here in person
to [INAUDIBLE].

-Ignacious, my
friend, I have come

here to pay him my respects.

-And give offerings for
the peace of his soul?

-What's that?

[INAUDIBLE] have
been dead for years.

Didn't you know that?

-This news will sadden
the rest of my journey.

Not only has [INAUDIBLE] lost
a king, but a friend as well.

-Do you intend to resume
your journey at once?

-Yes.

As soon as the
horses are rested.

-You!

Harness this chariot.

-Many things have changed
here since the time

of my last visit.

-The building of
these walls, they saw,

was the unfilled dream
of King [INAUDIBLE].

His daughter, our queen, has
had the work begun in his honor.

-Cnidia?

Why she was just a baby.

-[LAUGHS].

Well.

now the baby is grown up.

-We must push the
work ahead faster.

The rainy season is almost
here on the northern side

of the wall should be
finished before then.

We should have at least
a double the number

of laborers on the eastern gate.

-That will do.

-My queen, we are mere trying to
do the best we can to carry out

your wishes, but if we
continue to work at this pace

we'll never be done.

I'm afraid it will
take many more slaves.

-Well, that's up to you.

I don't want these
walls to become

an obsession with me
as they are with you.

-Cnidia!

Wait a moment.

-Hercules of Thebes
is in the city.

-Menistus, what did he tell you?

-He has reported to me
that Hercules of Thebes

is in the city now.

-Hercules?

But are they sure it's he?

-Yes.

-I think that's marvelous news.

Hercules, after all these yeas.

-He must have impressed you.

-Menistus, Hercules was
a friend of my father's.

Now he's considered
a friend of mine.

Make all the arrangements
for a great reception

and feast in his honor.

-I will.

-Come, [INAUDIBLE].

[MEN CHATTER]

-Menistus, with Hercules
here, the rebellion

might come to a head at
any moment without warning.

The rumors that have
reached us about him

give a cause for alarm.

However, let's hope
that he doesn't

want to stay long with us.

-And if he should want to?

-To go against the wishes of the
queen would be foolish of us.

We shall obey her
slightest whim.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-The entertainment isn't giving
you any pleasure, Hercules.

What's the memory you
find so tormenting?

-Forgive me, Cnidia.

I was just observing how many
things have changed here.

You father's counselors,
Polonius, [INAUDIBLE],

and wise old [INAUDIBLE].

-I regret to have to tell you
that [INAUDIBLE] and wise old

[INAUDIBLE] are both dead.

Polonius is on a journey
to a distant province.

-So many friends
lost in a short time.

-For you, the years
don't count, do they?

When I was mourning
for my father,

the heavy burdens inseparable
from the throne were too much.

And so Menistus had
to take measures which

have relieved me of
many responsibilities.

Go on.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-May the the light of
the sacred fire brighten

your thoughts and deeds,
Hercules, son of Zeus.

And yours, my queen.

-If you are here, then
my fire is not needed.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[WOMEN SCREAM]

-There's no use pursuing them.

-[INAUDIBLE] lunatics.

A pair of fanatics.

-Go on with the feast.

Come with me, Hercules.

-If Hercules hadn't
chance to be here,

you know would reign
as king of [INAUDIBLE].

-And this is the second
attempt that has failed.

We must make sure that the
third one is successful.

-Don't even try while
Hercules is here.

--[INAUDIBLE] might very
well become is tomb.

Oh, I know what you're thinking.

But don't worry.

Whatever misfortune does away
with Hercules and Cnidia,

the people will lay it at
the door of those rebels

[INAUDIBLE] and then we'll
get away with our hands clean,

[INAUDIBLE].

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Hercules, don't
look at me that way.

I have long known
that I have enemies.

But I didn't think
they'd go so far.

-Why do you have enemies?

-Do you like my city?

It's quite changed, you
know, since the time of you

last visit.

Look there, Hercules.

[INAUDIBLE] is
lying at your feet.

When those walls
surrounding it are finished,

the city will be
absolutely impregnable.

-You still haven't answered
my question, Cnidia.

Why do you have enemies?

-Not everyone can understand
my efforts to protect them.

At the cost of sacrifices.

-What you mean is the sacrifice
of the entire populous of

[INAUDIBLE].

-Just as you say, Hercules.

-Many sacrifices.

It will transform my
city into a fortress

of security for my people.

-The height of walls and
their thickness and not enough

to guarantee the
security of a city.

-You talk this way because you
are Hercules, the invincible.

But I am a woman, all alone.

Without protection or love.

Oh, Hercules, if you
were my protection.

If you would only stay.

-The fate destined for me by the
gods lies far away from here.

-And the love of a queen.

A woman's love.

Isn't that able
to keep you here?

-We've been waiting
for you, Menistus.

We haven't received any order.

-I already know the
cause of your timidity.

A man named Hercules.

-They say he's not a mortal
man like the rest of us.

-After all, he's
the son of Zeus.

-The capital of the
guard at the east gate

saw him hold a stone block
which 50 slaves couldn't handle.

-And I'm supposed
to count on you!

And the future
leaders of my kingdom.

You're a clock of
cowardly sheep.

Get out!

Get out, all of you!

[MEN CHATTER]

-Hercules is a terrifying
opponent for anyone.

He would be even for all four
of the brothers of [INAUDIBLE].

-Yes, they're like wild
beasts when aroused.

If I could only set
them on Hercules.

--[INAUDIBLE] brothers have
been expelled from [INAUDIBLE],

as you well know.

And matching brute force
with force is useless.

Hercules is not a man to be
defeated with his own weapons.

The dependable
[INAUDIBLE] would put

him in a state we can cope with.

Then [INAUDIBLE]
could do the rest.

And the murder of Hercules would
be attributed to the rebels

instead.

This young girl might
be of great use to us.

-Don't fool yourself.

She's the daughter of
the rebel [INAUDIBLE].

She dies tomorrow
in the main square.

-I know, but that
doesn't prevent her

from being of use
to us in any event.

-Forget her, I tell you.

You can use this one.

-I shall give you some herbs.

You must burn them
in his bedroom

while Hercules is waiting
there for [INAUDIBLE]

to gather him into his embrace.

Then it will be
up to [INAUDIBLE].

It will be easy.

Very easy.

[GROANS]

-Hercules, Hercules, wake up.

-Who are you?

-Daria is my name.

A while ago I danced for your
and queen, although, I admit,

it hurt my conscience to do it.

-I don't understand.

-Your gaze is aimed
too high for you

to be aware of the misery which
is inflicted on us mortals

here.

Menistus deliberated lied.

The counselors of the old
king have all been murdered.

-They're all murdered, you say.

I can't believe it.

-You have to believe
me, Hercules.

Those two dancers were not just
a pair of lunatics as Menistus

told you, but they were
rebels against his oppression

and tyranny.

-Does Cnidia know about this?

-A great wall that you see
rising around [INAUDIBLE]

are being constructed with
human blood and tears.

-You haven't answered me.

Does the queen know this?

-The queen only knows
of her own ambitions

and Menistus is the man uses
to realize whatever she wants.

Come, hurry, hurry.

That is [INAUDIBLE], an
evil shadow of Menistus.

-Why didn't you let me--

--[INAUDIBLE] right not
to believe me, Hercules.

But if you will come
with me I can show you

something that
will convince you.

-I'll come, but if this is
a trap, you'll be sorry.

--[INAUDIBLE] believes
he can't be far away.

You're to use any
method to stop him.

-We need him and all
his brothers to do that.

You can also use your
weapons, but you must get him.

--[GASPS] The other
way, Hercules.

--[SCOFFS] I'd like to
see the four brothers

in a free for all with Hercules.

-You don't like the one who
can't talk, I know that.

But he's the strongest of
the [INAUDIBLE] brothers.

His fists are as powerful
as a pair of sledgehammers.

-You're right.

[MEN GROAN]

-Hercules, let's get
away before they find us.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

Quickly Hercules, the
underground passage

is this way.

[INAUDIBLE]

-[GASPS] Hercules!

-Don't be afraid.

-Look there.

-What does this mean?

-These are the mortal remains
of the counselor who devoted

his entire life to the service
of good King [INAUDIBLE].

Callistus, you know
him, didn't you?

-Callistus.

He was a wise man.

-Do you believe
me now, Hercules.

-Of course I do.

See this?

It's an armband made
of worthless metal.

I give it to him.

-Callistus was accused
of high treason

and condemned to die of
starvation and thirst.

He was one of my
father's best friends.

And on the other
side of that door,

[INAUDIBLE] is waiting
for death to set him free.

[LAUGHTER]

-Come away, Hercules.

Soon the jailer on duty will
come down to make his rounds.

Hurry, we must get out of here!

-We can't leave him here.

--[INAUDIBLE] doesn't
need out help anymore.

His whole world is
contained within those bars.

Come away.

Hercules.

[LAUGHTER]

-And Polonius?

-He's not on his way
to a distant province

as Menistus told you.

Perhaps his ashes have been
scattered to the winds.

I don't know.

-Why is that?

Why?

-To satisfy the ambition
of man who is corrupt.

-And the queen, was it
she who gave the order

to kill Polonius and Callistus?

-Don't ask me what I
have no way of knowing.

But I can still show you
something else, however.

Come with me.

Look here, Hercules.

These poor people
you see were once

happy citizens of [INAUDIBLE].

Now they are slaves
who are forced

to build their own prison.

For it is not through a desire
for grandeur that they are

building the walls
surrounding the city,

but only to permit that evil
Menistus and his mercenary

to raid the towns
in the area and have

a safe refuge to return to.

-Hey you!

Who are you?

It's forbidden to
come down here.

-That man is the
elephant keeper.

-[INAUDIBLE].

-Don't move.

[YELLING]

-Hercules, watch out
for the elephant!

-[INAUDIBLE].

-Hercules!

[ELEPHANTS SCREAM]

-Stop!

Back!

Stay back!

Stop.

Turn around.

Turn around.

[INAUDIBLE] Stay back.

Animals can always
tell the difference

between good and bad.

You took a terrible risk.

Hurry, let's get out of here.

-Wait a minute.

Why did you come to me?

Why did you want
me to see all this?

-Tomorrow at high noon, my
little sister [INAUDIBLE],

will die in the
square of sacrifice.

-I'll ask the queen to save her.

-Not even Cnidia
can save her now.

It is the law of [INAUDIBLE].

Hercules, they say you
are a man of justice.

Go there tomorrow
and do whatever

your heart tells you to do.

-All right.

I'll be there.

-Oh, Hercules.

Come on, [INAUDIBLE] palace
garden through the passageway

to your room.

Hercules, may the
gods protect you.

[TRUMPETS SOUND]

-People of [INAUDIBLE], by
the royal will of Cnidia,

our beloved
sovereign, [INAUDIBLE]

daughter of [INAUDIBLE],
will be sacrificed according

to the sacred law
of [INAUDIBLE].

[CROWD YELLS]

-Guards!

[CROWD YELLS]

--[INAUDIBLE] has
confessed to the crimes

of treason and rebellion.

Oh, almighty gods, we pray
that if it be your will

to oppose the justice
of mortal men,

send your champion
to overcome the three

trials imposed by the law.

-Don't be rash.

We'll try to escape with
her through the plane

of [INAUDIBLE].

You two go and get
everything ready as planned.

Go on!

-[INAUDIBLE] will be trapped.

Any father would attempt
to save his daughter.

-You forget that Hercules
is able to overcome

the three trials.

-But Hercules will not
be here at late hour.

The herbs will surely
have that effect on him.

-You're right, my lord.

-I'm certain of it.

-Where is Daria?

-I thought she was
with your attendants.

-Hercules?

Hercules, wake up.

Wake up!

-Hercules, queen of
[INAUDIBLE] desires

that your stay in [INAUDIBLE]
be a pleasant one.

Ask us what you like.

We are here to be of service.

-Accompany me to the queen.

-She's not in the
palace, but [INAUDIBLE]

provide you with
a worthy escort.

-Escorts are given to guests
of honor and prisoners.

You say the queen is
not in the palace.

I'll go join in the
square of sacrifices.

What does this mean?

-That you're a very
important person, Hercules.

[MEN YELL]

-[INAUDIBLE] fools!

Why didn't you stop him?

-[INAUDIBLE].

--[INAUDIBLE], daughter
of [INAUDIBLE],

do you confess your
crimes of treason

and rebellion
against [INAUDIBLE]?

-I am guilty of rebellion.

-It's incredible.

[CROWD YELLS]

-Listen to me!

Listen [INAUDIBLE]!

-Whosoever submits
to the three trials

will be given the time it takes
for the flame of the torch

to make contact
with [INAUDIBLE].

At that point, justice
will take it's course.

[CROWD YELLS]

-Without violence, power
gets no satisfaction.

[CROWD YELLS]

-That girl must not die!

My queen, this man--

-[INAUDIBLE] Menistus.

According to [INAUDIBLE] law,
only citizens of [INAUDIBLE]

my submit to the trials to save
anyone condemned to the vat.

But you were once the
best friend my father had.

The torch will show
you the first trial.

I wish you luck, Hercules.

-You must do it before
the flame of the torch

has a chance to reach the court.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-Don't let it upset
you, my queen.

As the son of Zeus,
Hercules couldn't

have chosen a more
appropriate end.

[LION ROARS]

[CROWD CHEERS]

-The second trial.

-Quickly, Hercules, quickly!

[GROWLING]

-Come on, [INAUDIBLE].

-[INAUDIBLE], turn the wheel!

Hey, what's wrong?

-The gears are blocked!

-[INAUDIBLE].

Hurry!

We have to tell Menistus.

[CROWD CHEERS]

-The third trial, Hercules.

[CROWD CHEERS]

-Surrender and I'll
spare your life.

[CROWD CHEERS]

-[INAUDIBLE].

[WHISTLES]

-[INAUDIBLE].

-[INAUDIBLE].

-Don't do it, Menistus.

He has overcome
the three trials.

It is the law.

-Stop him!

[CROWD CHEERS]

-Menistus, you still
have time to stop him

before he reaches
the gate to the city.

--[INAUDIBLE] signal
to close the gates!

-Sound the signal!

[TRUMPETS SOUND]

[MEN YELLING]

-After them!

Show them no mercy!

Everyone after them!

-You're welcome to
come with us, Hercules.

-What do you mean?

Who are you?

-We're rebels.

-Rebels?

-Perhaps we're fighting
for a lost cause, Hercules.

-Hercules always
fights for lost causes.

I'll come with you.

-Let's head back to
camp, [INAUDIBLE].

[CROWD CHATTER]

-Hermes, oh, my son.

-[INAUDIBLE].

-They ran like so many rabbits.

-They look happy.

-Not entirely.

As long as Cnidia and
Menistus continue to rule,

we won't permit any
marriages to be performed.

We don't want
widows on our hands.

--[INAUDIBLE], you
old [INAUDIBLE].

Where are you?

-[INAUDIBLE], [INAUDIBLE],

-Hey!

-Ah, little turtle dove.

-[LAUGHS]

-Here's your old bear home again
safe, and sound, and famished.

-Oh, fine.

All you think about is food, eh?

-I'm hungry enough to
eat a pair of oxen.

-Just a moment.

-Huh?

-Let me see your hands.

-What?

-You march straight down
to the river and wash them.

-Oh, turtle dove.

-Wash them.

And be quick about it.

-She's a woman
with an iron will.

[LAUGHTER]

[CROWD CHATTER]

--[GASPS] [INAUDIBLE],
with you around

a body's not safe
for an instant.

Stop playing with that axe,
or I throw it in the river.

I won't put up with it.

And let this be warning to you
once and for all, you hear?

[LAUGHS]

-Did you see that throw?

You should me use that axe when
I go hunting with Hercules.

-My father says that Hercules
is stronger than four teams

of oxen [INAUDIBLE]
to the same plow.

I can hardly believe it.

[INAUDIBLE], tell me about him.

-Well, I can tell you
that four teams of oxen

are nothing compared
to Hercules.

I know, I'm a friend of his.

I've helped him fight against
wild beasts and monsters.

And he owes a lot to the
strength of these arms

because I was the man who--

-Hmm, really mosquito?

-Hercules!

-I need your help again.

That's why I'm here.

-Hercules!

[INAUDIBLE] is getting worse.

[MOANING]

-[INAUDIBLE], [INAUDIBLE].

-Where am I?

What am I doing here?

Who are you?

Let me die.

I'm guilty.

Let me die.

I beg you.

-Hush, hush.

Calm yourself, [INAUDIBLE].

-Let me die!

Let me die!

-Hush.

-Your daughter was
facing death as happy

as a bride on her wedding day.

--[INAUDIBLE] and
doesn't recognize us.

-The important thing
is that she's safe now.

-And that we owe
to you, Hercules.

Although gratitude
is not a sentiment

easily expressed
in simple words.

-She'll be well again soon.

And all of you will
live together in peace.

-Are you willing to
fight for us, Hercules?

-I shall try to
speak to the queen.

I don't think she's as
bad as everyone says,

but only an instrument
to the power of Menistus.

-You, you were the one.

I'll kill you.

I'll kill you!

[CRIES]

-Go away, all of you.

Let her be alone.

-As I came here, I noticed
you have many horses.

-The plane of [INAUDIBLE]
is full of them.

-And [INAUDIBLE] is
an excellent hunter.

Not a day goes by that
he doesn't capture some.

-Yes, we could really
put together a first rate

cavalry if we only
had cavalrymen.

You said you wanted to
see the queen, didn't you?

Don't expect any compassion
from her, Hercules.

Cnidia is not only
frivolous, she's evil.

-Father.

-You?

Here?

-The best secret agent we
have spying in the enemy camp.

My daughter, Daria.

-We already know each other.

-Have you brought any news?

-None at all, father.

I was anxious to learn
about [INAUDIBLE].

-About [INAUDIBLE], no one else?

I doubt it.

-I shall be eternally
grateful for all

you've done for us, Hercules.

-It's dangerous for
you to come here.

Aren't you afraid?

-No.

-Not even of the interest
that Menistus takes in you?

-If I didn't encourage that
interest as you call it,

how would you expect me to
get any information from him?

-Your pride is as noble as
the cause you fight for.

I didn't mean to offend you.

-I don't believe
you would, Hercules.

-Listen, Daria, your
father said it's not

possible to put together a
cavalry without cavalrymen,

but we could find more men.

-What men?

-The slaves who are
working on the walls.

-For every one who runs away,
five others are put to death.

-Don't worry. [INAUDIBLE]
and I will give freedom

back to the people
of [INAUDIBLE].

We'll begin with the slaves.

-I know a secret passage
that leads to their prison.

Father! [INAUDIBLE],
[INAUDIBLE],

[INAUDIBLE], come
here, all of you!

[CROWD CHATTER]

-What's the matter?

-Listen to me, father.

Listen to me, all of you!

Hercules is going to lead us!

CROWD: Hooray!

-And as of tonight,
Menistus and his friends

have lost their battle
before it started!

[CROWD CHEERS]

[GATE CREAKS OPEN]

-The secret passage is
over there, Hercules.

We'll have to get the
sentry out of the way.

-Hey, you with that pitchfork!

[GRUNTS]

-Follow me, Hercules.

-Blocked tight.

It's a passage used
in case of siege,

but it would take
a team of elephants

to move the stone
that closes it.

-Hmm.

-Good.

Good work!

Come on.

Come on.

Let's go inside.

-Not you.

If anything happened
to you, what

would become of your people?

You can't risk your life.

-But

-No.

-Before long the
horses will arrive.

I'll stand guard
here till day break.

Go on.

-Good.

-And good luck, Hercules.

-The same to you, [INAUDIBLE].

-Hercules?

Hercules?

The coast is clear.

-We've been waiting
for you, Hercules.

-You?

-Hurry, follow me.

This is one of the passages
that leads to the prison

where they keep the slaves
who work on the wall.

Hercules, I must go
back to the palace now.

I don't want my
absence to be noticed.

-Daria, wait.

-It's time for me to go.

May the gods protect you.

[CROWD CHATTER]

-Water.

Water.

-You filthy worm.

I'll give you water!

There!

Move over!

Get out of my way.

What rotten duty.

Shut up in this trap
with sewer rats.

-It won't be long till
our relief comes on duty.

Keep calm.

-Makes me sick.

-You stay here and keep
your eyes [INAUDIBLE].

-Straighten out.

-By the gods,
[INAUDIBLE], there's

a strange atmosphere
in this place.

It's like something awful might
fall on top of you any minute.

-What's that?

-[INAUDIBLE].

-What can you do, Hercules?

You need a sledge hammer.

-It's no use, Hercules.

All the chains are fastened
at the ring in the center.

-He'll never manage
to pull it out.

-He has to pull it out.

If not, we're all done for.

[GROANS]

-He's done it!

[CROWD AWES]

-He's done it!

-Silence!

One at a time, up the rope.

Go on.

[CROWD CHATTER]

-Move faster!

Run to the horses!

Run!

-Get going!

-Come on, friends!

Catch me!

[MEN YELL]

-[INAUDIBLE].

-An awkward position, huh?

Well, give my
regards to Menistus.

-[INAUDIBLE] too, mosquito?

-Now I can really say
I fought at your side.

-Come on, let's
get away from here.

Hurry, hurry!

--[INAUDIBLE], how
did you get here?

-Hurry, [INAUDIBLE], hurry!

The horses!

-You take the boy with you.

When Menistus finds
out, [INAUDIBLE].

Go on, go on!

-[INAUDIBLE], here's your horse.

-Archers, aim, shoot!

[MEN GROAN]

-These [INAUDIBLE] are a
favorite weapon of Menistus.

-As far I know, dead men have
never been able to build walls.

If we go on like this, we'll
soon be without a labor force.

-Menistus knows what he's doing.

-The people of
[INAUDIBLE] are a pack

of [INAUDIBLE] rat pickers.

And such beggars are
held at bay with threats,

as a general rule, when bloody
repression isn't necessary.

-This violence can lead
only to more violence.

The great walls
of [INAUDIBLE] are

going to remain unfinished
for a long time to come.

You're destroying them
instead of constructing them.

-Supreme power admits
no restrictions.

You'll have to decide, Daria.

Either you're with me,
or you're against me.

What do you want?

Show them in.

Where are you going?

-The queen is expecting me.

-Ten slaves have been
executed in public.

They prefer to be killed
rather than give information.

-Or perhaps they had none,
but we know it was Hercules.

And the slaves he
set free have already

increased the number of rebels.

-What are we waiting for then?

-Very soon.

Much sooner than you imagine,
we shall attack them.

Beyond the plane of [INAUDIBLE]
and through the ravine

of the [INAUDIBLE], following
the course of the sacred river,

that's where
[INAUDIBLE] is hiding.

-Who would have suspected it?

-It's like an eagle's nest.

-How did you discover this?

-The method I used
was very simple.

Open it.

I had a spy among the slaves.

-A spy would never have asked
be paid in such a manner.

-You're right.

He asked for gold, but
a traitor to one side

might betray the other one, too.

It all depends on how
much he's offered.

And now I'll explain to
you what our plan is.

The rebel forces
are concentrated

beyond the sacred river.

They are hiding in
a network of caves.

We must block them inside and
destroy them once and for all.

You have time enough
to organize carefully.

Now get on with it.

-This isn't going to be easy.

It'll take the entire garrison.

--[INAUDIBLE], are
your brothers still

living in ravine [INAUDIBLE]?

Good.

Go tell them to stop
anyone who tries

to get through to
the rebel encampment.

If anyone here is
turned traitor,

we'll find out who it is.

Go on.

-It was a sight I
shall never forget.

One man all alone,
standing against everyone

and everything, to save
the life of a girl,

a girl he didn't even know.

I think that what gives such
great strength to Hercules

is the justice that
guides his actions.

-Are you really so
smitten with Hercules?

-Strange to say, so
much that for a moment

I felt myself wavering
in my convictions.

-For a queen like
you, it isn't easy.

But you could give up what
you call your convictions,

or couldn't you?

-No, I never could.

But neither do I want
to give up Hercules.

-You will have to.

He has chosen another destiny.

-We'll be back
sometime before sunset.

-This move makes me very happy.

Finally we enjoy
the open sky again.

Imagine a little cabin
on the river bank

with running water at the door.

-I've always dreamed of one.

-Before long our troubles
will be over, dear.

-And then we'll have
a house all our own.

-I'd like a house
filled with flowers.

-Turtle dove, did you hear that?

And we want a great big
kitchen with a beautiful fire.

-Hey, you old, glutton, hey!

[INAUDIBLE] support
your appetite,

that's all you're thinking of.

--[INAUDIBLE], perhaps moving
[INAUDIBLE] is dangerous.

I'm afraid she'll never make it.

-Now they've arranged
[INAUDIBLE] for her.

When they come back,
they'll move her with that.

She won't suffer at all.

You'll see.

Let's go inside now.

-What's got into them?

Why does everybody have to
move somewhere else, huh?

-The slave who disappeared
must've been a spy.

-No one in sight.

-Look, there.

They've abandoned
their camp now.

-Maybe they're suspicious.

-What do you we go and
have a look around?

-I'll take the
sentry on the left.

[GROANS]

-Good shooting, brother.

[CRIES]

-Come on.

-[INAUDIBLE], how do you feel?

-But where, where am I?

-You must keep calm
and don't be afraid.

You're in a safe place where
no one would do you any harm.

-Why, you're [INAUDIBLE].

The girl who's going
to marry Hermes.

-You've recognized me!

Oh, [INAUDIBLE], you don't
know how happy that makes me.

If you only knew how worried
we've been about you.

-And my father?

-He's coming back
to take you away.

Hercules is with him.

-Hercules?

-Yes.

He's fighting for our cause.

-The divine son of Zeus.

-It was he who saved
you from certain death.

-[SIGHS]

-[INAUDIBLE], what is it?

What's wrong with you?

[SCREAMS]

-[INAUDIBLE].

[MEN LAUGH]

-Come here to me, girl.

I like you.

-Take your hands off
her, you filthy beast!

[SCREAMS]

-[INAUDIBLE], look at this.

It's gold!

-Come on!

-Hurry up!

Let's get out of here!

-Take cover!

Someone's coming!

[MEN LAUGH]

[WOMAN SCREAMS]

-[INAUDIBLE].

-She's a spy.

-Take her back to the city.

-On your horse, spy.

[INAUDIBLE], keep an eye on her.

-Don't try to talk.

It's almost night and
Hermes will be here soon.

-Everything is growing dark.

Night has already
covered my eyes.

I can't see anymore.

I can't see anymore!

Hermes!

-[INAUDIBLE].

-We would have been
so happy together.

Before very long, we would
have had a house of our own

surrounded with flowers.

-[INAUDIBLE]!

[INAUDIBLE]

-Oh!

-[INAUDIBLE].

[CRIES]

-Flowers everywhere.

I can smell their perfume now.

I can smell their perfume.

-[INAUDIBLE].

--[INAUDIBLE] wants an open
fire where she can listen

to the wind roar on
the winter evenings.

Four snug walls just
for her and for me.

-A house is the whole world for
two people who love each other.

-A snug little house
and a great big kitchen.

[LAUGHTER]

Hey, look there.

-Cover us from behind, hurry!

Hercules, come with me.

-[INAUDIBLE]!

[INAUDIBLE]

[INAUDIBLE]

-No.

-There's nothing we can do.

[CRIES]

-No.

No.

[CRIES]

-They'll pay for this.

They'll pay dearly for this.

Menistus knows our hiding place.

We must attack them immediately.

-We're not ready to move yet.

[INAUDIBLE], Hermes, and
I can go rouse for people.

-In the cellars of
[INAUDIBLE] tavern,

we can meet there with
the leaders tonight

an organize the rebellion.

[INAUDIBLE] needs only a
spark to set off a revolt.

-You take the
cavalry to the walls.

I swear at daybreak the
east gate will be open.

-It shall be as
you wish, Hercules.

At daybreak we shall attack.

And may the gods
give us victory.

-There is the spy.

-Daria whatever possessed you to
betray your friends like this?

Betray the trust which
I had placed in you?

-If I'd helped our
people I betrayed you.

-You know what to expect.

-I know what I can imagine.

Cnidia, why don't
you look around you?

Why don't you like
closer to your people?

You still have time, but
these traitors around you--

[SLAPS]

-You won't save yourself
accusing others.

She's are conspirator
against her [INAUDIBLE] queen

and the security of this state.

-Why have you nothing
to say your own defense?

-Because I have to defense.

The rebel leader is my father.

[CROWD CHATTER]

-Silence!

Not only has she spied on
us, but she invites Hercules

into the cause of the rebels.

Go on, you.

Confess that you made him
fall in love with you.

-Is it true?

Hercules is love with you?

Menistus, torture her.

Torture her to death.

Do to her whatever you wish.

-You tried to make a fool of me.

You will die in
agonizing torment.

-One moment.

I have a better idea, Menistus.

-Let's hear it then.

-Let's put her to
the test of truth.

The [INAUDIBLE].

Daria, we have solemnly invoked
the god of the underworld,

that he with his powerful
arm may give support

to the mighty work
that we are undertaking

for the safety of this city.

In the shadowy confines of the
temple, sacred to the goddess

of truth, we ask you
for the [INAUDIBLE]

of your crime of treason.

Are you ready to offer the
sacrifice of your life itself.

-What is your will
is also my own.

-Even if it should mean
the betrayal of the man

that you love?

-Even if it should mean the
betrayal of the man I love.

-You will go to the
rebel camp and tell

Hercules that queen
wishes to see him.

-Let's go inside.

-It's exactly the way
we left it before.

-They may have
set a trap for us.

-What if they have?
We have no other choice.

Come on.

-Not a soul in sight.

-The coast is clear.

-Are you still determined
to speak to the queen?

-I must try to at least.

Go on now, you two.

-It won't be necessary for
you to go to the camp now.

Daria, take him to the queen.

You and your men
follow his friends.

And you go and tell Menistus.

-Daria!

-Hercules, I was
coming to get you.

Cnidia wants to see you.

-I was on my way to her.

-Come then, I'll
take you to her.

-We can make it now.

-[INAUDIBLE], Hermes.

-The time has come to act.

Run and tell the others.

We'd better get out
of sight quickly.

-Inside.

-Wait a minute.

It's too quiet in this place.

-You've walked into
my trap, Hercules.

You have no escape.

I compliment you on
your work, Daria.

-Daria!

-Capture him!

I want him alive!

[MEN YELL]

-[INAUDIBLE], you come with me!

[LAUGHS]

-Menistus, what is going on?

Why is this woman still here?

-She was the bait in the trap.

Hercules has fallen
into the pit of death.

The poisonous fumes and the red
caverns will be the end of him.

-My lord, the tavern
of [INAUDIBLE]

has been completely
surrounded and

Hercules' two
friends are inside.

-Conspirators.

Burn the tavern.

Don't let a single one of
those rebels get out alive.

--[INAUDIBLE], we're
ready to move.

-It's not time yet.

We'll attack at daybreak.

CNIDIA: Why?

Why has it come to this?

DARIA (VOICEOVER):
Cnidia, why don't

you live closer to your people?

You still have time.

You still have time.

You still have time.

-Hercules.

-I have to get out.

I have to find a way.

I must.

It's nearly dawn.

[MEN CHEER]

-At dawn [INAUDIBLE] will
attack with all his cavalry.

-When he does, the
streets of [INAUDIBLE]

will run with blood.

[MEN CHEER]

-Hercules will open the
eastern gate to them.

That means [INAUDIBLE]
on one side

and the people on the other.

Our enemies will be crushed
between two [INAUDIBLE].

[MEN CHEER]

-No rebel is to taken prisoner.

We must show Menistus ashes and
charred bodies, not living men!

-[INAUDIBLE].

-Leave the room.

I want to be alone.

[COUGH]

-[INAUDIBLE].

CNIDIA: Hercules?

[COUGHS]

-[CRIES] Hercules!

-You coward!

-Hercules, forgive
me for everything.

[GASPS] Forgive me.

-I'll take care of you.

Cnidia, I forgive you.

[MOANS]

-I'm afraid it's
too late, Hercules.

It's not use trying.

It's not use.

[MOANS]

Daria, Daria is innocent.

She was under the
influence of a narcotic.

I was mistaken.

I was mistaken to do it.

I only wanted you.

-Let me help you.

-No.

I want you

To help my people.

I want you to help my people.

-Zeus!

Pull all your
strength in my arms!

[MUSIC PLAYING]

-We were expecting
you, Hercules!

-It's morning.

[INAUDIBLE]

-[INAUDIBLE].

-[INAUDIBLE].

[MEN CHEER]

-[INAUDIBLE] is attacking!

-Come on, friends.

We'll die like lions!

-Let me be first!

-Hermes, no!

-Hermes!

Why did you do it?

Why did you do it?

-[INAUDIBLE] [GASPS]

-That's not true.

You shouldn't have done it.

I shouldn't have let you do it.

Why didn't you wait
for the rest of us?

--[INAUDIBLE] remember, you
have a little house waiting

with a, with a
great big kitchen.

-Oh, Hermes.

-And I, and I am going
to my little house.

And [INAUDIBLE], and
[INAUDIBLE] already there.

She's there waiting.

-[INAUDIBLE].

-Hermes!

-To the east gate quickly!

-Turn the wheel!

Close the gate!

Harder, all of you!

-It's [INAUDIBLE].

-[INAUDIBLE]!

-Hercules!

Hercules!

-Speak up, mercenary,
if you value your life.

Where's my daughter?

Where is Menistus?

Speak or you die!

-Speak or you'll
never speak again.

-They were heading
for the north gate.

They took the way from
the palace garden.

-I know the way.

Come on!

-Menistus, we don't
want to held back.

-Wait for me here.

We need that woman as a hostage.

-Let's kill her now.

She'll only be a burden to us.

-We'll leave in the desert
for vultures to feed on.

-Menistus!

DARIA: Hercules!

-Stay where you are!

Come back here!

Filthy cowards.

DARIA: Kill him!

Kill him!

Don't worry about me, Hercules.

-Take one step.

-Watch out, Menistus.

Don't do it.

-I have a proposition
to make you.

-Proposition of a
poisonous snake.

Let's hear it.

-Give me a horse and safe
conduct to the frontier

of the kingdom or your
daughter will die right here.

-Release her at once.

You have my word.

-I don't trust you.

Your daughter's coming with me.

-You're not moving
from here, Menistus.

-Hercules, no!

-[CRIES] Hercules!

-Daria, it's all over now.

-Oh, thank the gods.

-Hercules?

-[INAUDIBLE].

-Now you can't call
me mosquito anymore.

-No?

What else am I to
call you, mosquito?

-The Council of
elders of this city

have decided to erect a temple
to Zeus, the wisest of the gods

and divine father
of all mortals.

-The time has come.

Goodbye, [INAUDIBLE].

And may fortune smile on
[INAUDIBLE] and on her people

forever.

-We'll never forget what
you've done for us, Hercules.

Hercules, stay with us.

-I must go, Daria.

My fate lies far away
from [INAUDIBLE].

Perhaps I'll come back.

Goodbye.

Goodbye, friends.

-Hercules, may Zeus your
father protect you always.

-Turtle dove, look at me.

-No.

You're an old glutton.

[LAUGHTER]

[CROWD CHEERS]

-Long live Hercules, the
greatest of mortal men!

[CROWD CHEERS]

-Hercules!

Hercules!

Wait for me, Hercules!

-[INAUDIBLE]!

[INAUDIBLE]

-What is it, mosquito?

-Take me with you.

-Now, mosquito, you stay
with [INAUDIBLE] and Daria.

They'll treat you
like a brother.

-I'll polish your weapons.

I'll tend to your horses.

Please let me stay with you.

-No.

-Some day you might need
someone to help you.

Who will protect you?

-I almost forgot about that.

It's true.

You did save my life.

-[INAUDIBLE].

-Well?

-You run along.

You can't leave her all alone.

Go on.

Go back to her.

-Bye, Hercules!

Bye!

[CROWD CHEERS]
