Previously on Young Hercules.

Come on, now's our chance!

No, but what about that thing?

We've got to try!

Marco was a brave warrior. He was our friend.

I'm half God. I got all the strength. And what good does it do me, huh?

Marco!

Now on Young Hercules.

Hey, snap out of it, Hercules. I know it's been a tough week, but let's go

ourselves. Yeah, whatever, Iola.

You'll steal a fish from Poseidon's plate.

Only 10 dinars.

It's, uh, bowed.

It's as straight as my leg.

Five dinars.

Yeah, listen, I don't know about your leg, but the rod's bent, so what else do

you have?

You know, Hercules, the problem with the weekend camping trip is it's pretty

much limited to one weekend.

Fine. Let's just forget about it, all right? Three dinars.

And that's my final offer.

One dinar, and you're lucky to get it.

Look, we're going on this trip to have some fun.

Relax. The Academy's been brutal lately.

Yeah, hey, it did womp you pretty good on the ropes, too, didn't it?

What are you saying, that I'm slacking off?

No, I'm saying, until he fell off, you were doing really well.

Whoa. The oasis cut me some slack. I must need a break.

Now let's get a move on.

We've got to hike all the way to Polona.

Fishing in a puddle.

Must be after minnow.

Still, if boys want to play, fine.

Men want to catch fish, they go too.

Where?

Ten dinars.

To tell us where to fish.

I'll tell you where to go for free. Ten dinars.

Trap balls as big as horses.

Catch fish as big as your friend's mouth.

Very near.

All right.

Was that guy right or what, huh?

We'll get enough to feed the whole academy.

Tell you what, he was worth every dinar that we paid him.

Sorry.

Go ahead. Okay.

So now they were sure the monster was asleep.

Then the boy reached his hand inside the monster's cage.

A little further.

A little further.

And just a touch more.

Until he could just reach the golden key pinned under the monster's bloody jaw.

He pulls his hand away.

A little more.

A little more.

And then... Yolo.

Yolo. What? No, no, no. That wasn't me.

It's big.

Okay, it's really big.

It's over there.

No, no.

It's over here.

No.

It's right in front of me.

In an age of light and darkness.

Zeus, king of the gods, ruled the universe.

He had a son, young Hercules.

Half god,

half man, young Hercules longs to find his place in the world. The father he's

never known, and what it means to be a hero.

Before the man became legend, before the legend became myth, came the greatest

adventure of all.

First stand shot to know this.

Where did it go?

What do I ask?

What is it? It's hungry.

That's what it is.

Let's feed it.

Come on.

Good doggy.

Nice doggy.

Peacock. Tastes just like chicken.

Use the fire!

Get out of here!

Okay,

run!

Come on, you guys, run!

No, not over here.

You all right?

Over here what?

It's a cave.

Okay.

So you're quick.

And you're tough.

It's too big to get in here.

Hey, look at that.

Ew. Hey!

That's a funny thing about signs.

I mean, take me for a chance. Look out!

Please stand clear of the door.

We need new weapons.

We had new weapons, remember?

We might as well have hit that thing with peacock feathers.

That thing is serious.

Then we'll make serious weapons.

That thing makes me homesick for sand sharks.

I swear to the gods, if I ever find that old man that sent us in here, I'll feed

him to that thing.

Okay, we're all packed.

Now what?

I don't know.

You don't know? Hey, come on. No, you come on.

What do you mean you don't know?

I mean I don't know, all right?

We either fight it now...

Or we wait till morning and fight it then.

Listen. Now, I thought I knew what to do with Marco and the sand shark, and now

he's gone.

Now, we did everything we could.

So if you're in such a big hurry, you decide.

Hey, uh, guys.

What?

There's moonlight coming from the back of the cave.

This has got to be the way out.

All right?

Come on.

All right.

We're out of here.

I really hope this is the way out, Herb.

Looks like we're about to point out.

What are you doing here? Hey, it's the guy from the market. You catch

any fish?

Sit down.

Deep breaths. Time out.

Can't get in, and it leaves at sunrise.

So, you might as well sit here with old Aegeus.

Listen, Angus.

Aegeus. Whatever. My friend's right, okay? That you did lead us here.

You wanted to know where to fish, I tell you. Yeah, oh, okay. And I guess you

just kind of forgot to tell us about the man -eating monster.

And you took us for ten dinars.

You want to know about fish? I tell you about fish, ten dinars. You want to know

about protector?

That would be much more.

Wait, the protector?

So, you boys lucky today?

What? Yeah, a couple of fish, a peacock, he almost bagged a boar.

Yes, here is a valley that is very rich with game.

Harris Valley.

You said here. Harris Valley? I know, I know.

So, peacocks in Harris Valley are... Sacred to the wife of Zeus.

Yeah, yeah.

Okay, so say someone would actually catch a peacock, what would happen to

Oh, protector, come catch you up at night. Keep you nice and alive for his

breakfast.

Sunrise.

Mm -hmm.

But you knew we were going hunting.

People do what people do. No business of mine.

Hey, uh, look, the potatoes are only after us because we bagged one of the

peacocks. Why don't you just get your stepmom to call it off? You know, tell

you're sorry. Say, I'm really sorry.

Oh, yeah.

But you know what? What? She hates me. All right? Listen, he said that it

at sunrise, so we'll just wait.

So, uh, you boys have any food?

No, it's weird. We just kind of left camp really fast.

Hercules, look. Our food and gear.

Hey, there's my lucky waiters.

So, you lead people to Harrah's Valley and then you clean up after the

Protector, huh?

I just tell people where to fish.

Special Aegeus recipe.

A little cider.

Covered with cornmeal.

Our fish.

Special sauce.

Tell me something.

How many people you fed to that thing?

Angry boy.

Do you speak to your father this way?

So disrespectfully.

He doesn't know his father. And he just lost a friend.

Oh.

I understand.

I understand.

I myself have a son.

Truly fine boy, but... Try some of Aegeus'

fish. Your fish.

You need energy for sunrise.

When you go home.

Oh, and Hercules.

Sorry about your friend.

Listen, lads.

Here is sacred peacocks.

I don't get it.

I mean, you say the thing can't get in, and it leaves at sunrise, so...

Why are you still up?

Aegeus doesn't sleep much.

Like Hercules, hmm?

Tell you what, just give it to me and you can go to sleep.

It has become a Jesus habit to stay awake until light.

Okay.

But thank you.

Sure.

I think they're very lucky to have such a good friend to look after them.

I don't really look after them much anymore.

I don't really look after much.

You sound like one who takes care of too many.

They just tell you people are just people.

Most troublesome.

Is that what happened with your son?

Just became too much trouble?

No.

We are just not close.

If he's your son and you say that you love him, shouldn't you just, like, tell

him you think about him or something?

He is a better man without me.

Come.

Wait your friends.

Go check for Dawn.

I'll protect her.

Can't hear us.

Peacocks.

It's not quite dawn.

We'll wait a few minutes more.

No!

Come on, we can't let that thing eat Aegeus. No? Well, we can't stop it

If we go out there, it'll kill us and Aegeus. What are you saying?

He brought us here. He knew about that thing.

I can't even believe that I'm here.

Look, Kirk, Aegeus is just a con man. He doesn't care about us or anybody else.

Why get yourself killed helping him? Because we don't get to choose who we

all right? Is that really it, Ace?

Look, I'm sorry about Marco.

I wish you could have pulled him from the sand shark, but you didn't.

Listen to me.

I'm going to save Egeus, all right? And if you don't want to, then step aside.

Hey, guys!

It's almost dawn.

Nobody's going to die this morning.

Again. Monster bait?

That's not exactly what every kid dreams of being when he grows up, is it?

Guys?

Guys, shh.

Any time now. Come on, any time.

Now!

It's not working

You can leave me alone, too.

Monster breath.

Yuck.

All right, Jesus.

Plan B.

Form the attacks from the cave.

All

right,

yell it.

Call it.

Oh, why am I always the bird?

Oh, nice kick.

Well, where's the geus?

Yeah, he didn't even say thank you after you saved his life from that thing.

He'll get his someday.

Yeah.

You know, a geus is probably out selling that krill you bought him.

Or maybe he's just gone fishing.

Okay, that was weird.

He had no idea you were God.

The little bleeding heart couldn't even abandon that pathetic old man you

pretended to be.

Typical human.

Hercules came through rather nicely, didn't he?

Got its bark back.

He's as impulsive as he is arrogant.

And you, you, you're no better.

Well, you may be right, after all.

He is my son.
