[ Panting ]

[ Chattering ]

Jason!

Got here as fast
as I could.
What happened?

Oh, she said
she was feeling dizzy
a few days ago.

[ Chuckles ]
I thought it was nothing,

until last night
when she complained
of chest pains.

Her mother died
of a weak heart.

Where is she?
Outside.

Hello, Mother.

Hercules.

What are you doing?

[ Chuckles ]
Don't look so surprised.
I tend to my garden every day.

You should be in bed, resting.
Oh, stop it.
I'm feeling much better.

Besides, why would I want
to be inside on a day
like today? Hmm.

Hercules, you can stand there
with that look on your face,

or you can sit down
and enjoy the day with me.

You are so stubborn.

[ Chuckling ]
Where do you think
you get it from?

[ Sighs ]

It looks beautiful.

I started this garden
the day...

I found out Amphitryon
had died in the war.

Bringing it to life somehow
helped me accept his death.

And when you went off
to fight against Parthus,

I sat here every day,
praying that my son
would come home to me.

My prayers were answered.

That was the first war
I ever fought in.

I'm sorry
I put you through that.

No apologies, Hercules.
You did what you had to do.

I just wish I could have
protected you
from what you saw.

[ Chuckling ]
Looks like
you could use a bath.

- And whose fault is that?
- You offered to help.

And besides,
you've always been
a messy child.

Well, thanks, Mom.
I appreciate that.

You got that mama's boy
doing your dirty work again,
Alcmene?

Oh, let me guess.
You two freeloaders are
here for lunch?

Ooh.
Ooh.

What's up, guys?
Ah, no good.

The Parthans
crossed the border
into Caylan territory.

King Eteocles has managed to
push 'em back, but the Parthans
have declared war.

[ Iolaus ]
Yeah. If they win,
Corinth could be next.

The Caylans have been our allies
since your father was king.

Now it's my turn
to make sure
they don't fight alone.

We're gonna join them
on the front line, Herc.

What do you say,
buddy?

I say we're going
to war.

Yeah.
Yeah.

[ Jason ]
Yeah. Let's go get 'em.

[ 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 was so eager
to go off and fight...

I had no idea
what I was in for.

Well, you were young.
Yeah.

You know, all a mother
wants to do...

is protect her children
from all the pain in the world.
Hmm.

Because you love them so much,
you hold onto the illusion
you can do that.

And the truth is
I couldn't.

None of us can.

I held that same illusion
for my children.

You shouldn't be
so hard on yourself.

[ Chuckles ]
I can't help it.

I just wish you hadn't
had to have grown up so fast.

You know, even when things
were at their worst,

I always had a place
to call home,

thanks to you.

I don't want you to go.
Mom.
[ Sighs ]

Look, I've already lost
someone I love to war.

I won't go through
that again. I won't.

[ Sighs ]
Don't worry, Mom.
It's not gonna happen to me.

Don't you tell me
not to worry.

This isn't the same
as rousting a couple bullies.

There's a good chance
your strength won't be enough.

Maybe.

But at least I'll be fighting
for something I believe in.

A just cause doesn't
make war noble, Hercules.

Well, why did you send me to
the academy? What did you think
all that training was for?

I didn't send you there
to become a soldier.

I sent you so you'd learn how
to take care of yourself.

I did.

And I will.

Come on.

Please come back
to me, Hercules.

[ Man ] Your Highness,
King Eteocles requests
your presence in his tent.

[ Jason ]
Lead the way.

Well, it seems I'm in
the presence of greatness.

I was gonna say
the same to you.
Thank you for coming, Jason.

I wouldn't have
missed it for the world.
You'd do the same for Corinth.

From what I've heard,
your kingdom's in good hands.

Your father would have
been proud.

Well, I've had help.
These are my friends,
Hercules and Iolaus.

Welcome.
It's a pleasure
to be here, Your Highness.

Sit down, gentlemen. Eat!
You're gonna need your strength.

Two summers ago
the Parthans suffered
a terrible drought.

We offered hunting privileges
in our western region.

And let me guess,
that wasn't enough
for them.

Now, they're trying to claim
ourterritory as their own.

[ Sighs ]

Most of my troops
are defending our border,

but I've sent
a small battalion
into enemy territory.

They've established
a foothold next to
the king's fortress.

Once we join them,
I'll lead a charge inside.

Take out the brain,
the body's useless.

Jason, would you do me
the honor of serving
as my second-in-command?

- I won't let you down.
- Gentlemen,

you're three
of Cheiron's best.

By this time tomorrow,
we'll be dictating
the terms of their surrender,

and you'll return home
as heroes.

- To victory!
- [ Together ]
Victory!

You'll be okay.
But just stay off this leg
for a while.

Calimachus.

Well, well, if it's not
the Academy's finest.

It's good to see you.
I wish it were
under better circumstances.

Now that you mention it,
I'm surprised to see you here.

I don't like what
the Parthans are doing
any more than you do,

but I can't take a life
in good conscience.

Tending the wounded's
the best thing
I can do to help.

You haven't changed
a bit, Cal. I'm glad.

Hey, what is this,
an academy reunion?

What are you doin' here, buddy?
I thought you gave up manhood
for a life of medicine.

Well, you won't be
sayin' that when I'm stitchin'
your head back on.

Fall in, men!

- We're movin' out!
- All right, boys.

Time to see
what we're made of.

[ Chattering ]

[ Man ]
Stay sharp, men.
We're in Parthan territory now.

[ Man ]
Something here, my Lord.

Be careful.

[ Chattering ]

- Hemlock.
- Poison.

The stakes don't kill you,
it will.

Crude, but effective--
almost as good as ours.

You mean,
we have those too?

In case somebody
drops by unexpected.

- Isn't that what we're doin'?
- Yeah, but we're the good guys.

Hey, where's Nikos?

Must have fallen behind.

[ Sighs ]
That boy's gonna
get himself killed!

I'll get him.
We'll catch up.

You okay, Nikos?

My wife and I have a house
just over that hill.

This is the first time
we haven't been together
since we've been married.

I wonder what
she's doing now.

She's probably looking
out the window wondering
the same thing about you.

Hercules, you think
we're gonna make it?

Yeah.

A lot of the guys
have been saying that...

if we pull this off,
we'll be like heroes.

But what I keep thinking is,
what if I make my wife a widow?

Where's the glory
in that?

Come on.

[ Eteocles ]
All right, then.
Let's move!

The battalion's
just over the hill.

[ Man ]
Keep your eyes
on the trees as well.

[ Arrow Whistling ]
[ Grunts ]

[ Shouting ]
[ Man ]
He's hit! He's hit!

Ambush!

[ All Shouting ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Man ]
Behind you!

[ Grunting ]

[ Shouting, Grunting Continue ]

Look out!

Aaah!

[ Grunting ]

[ Shouting ]

- Eteocles!
- [ Groaning ]

Jason!

By the gods,
they cut off his arm!
He's losing blood fast.

Let's get him
out of here, quick.

Oh, Eteocles!
[ Groaning ]

Eteocles!
[ Coughing ]

This war--
it's yours now.

Please, Eteocles, forgive me!

[ Hercules ]
Jason, we gotta get back
to the battalion! Come on!

Have you, um,
sent word to Iphicles?

But he's at sea.
He won't get the message
for a few days.

[ Footsteps Approaching ]
Iolaus,

did Hercules drag you
all the way down here
for nothing?

[ Sighs ]
Far be it for me to
pass up a home-cooked meal.

Besides, am I gonna miss out
on the chance of seeing you?

[ Chuckling ]
You smooth talker.

I'll get my shawl.
Okay.

- Where are you going?
- [ Sighs ]
She wants to go to the market.

Is that a good idea?
You talk her out of it.

He has a point.

How are you
holding up?
I don't know.

I'm tired of pretending
nothing's wrong.

You should've seen her
last night.

Nothing worse than watching
someone you love in pain.

Don't give up hope, Jason.

I haven't.

But I'd be foolish
not to prepare myself.

I suppose I've learned
the hard way--

hope for the best,
but expect the worst.

[ Hercules ]
There's Eteocles' trench.
We made it.

[ Jason ] By the gods.
[ Iolaus ]
There's nobody left alive.

[ Iolaus ]
I'm not goin' in there.
You don't have a choice.

It's too dangerous
out in the open.

Here.

Those savages!

Those murderous Parthans!
[ Groaning ]

I'll kill
every last one of 'em!

Nobody survived.

For every man here,
I'll kill two of theirs!

Jason! Shh!
Quiet.

The Parthans think everyone
in the trench is dead. If we
don't be quiet, we will be.

Hey, Herc, I'm gonna need
a hand over here.
[ Groans ]

We'll take care of this.

The arm's severed at the elbow.
He's lost a lot of blood.

Hand me the sword.

The herbs will deaden
the pain.

I'm glad it's more
than just a decoration.

The healer I trained under
gave it to me.

I guess you could call it
a good-luck charm.

Hold him down.

Bite on this.

[ Sizzling ]
[ Screaming ]

Thanks.
Does he have a chance?

It doesn't look good.

We'll have to wait
and see.

You know, I think
I can understand why
you won't take a life,

but it can't be
any easier losin' somebody
you're tryin' to save.

You know,
you're probably right.

I don't know if I'd have
the strength to do it.

Sure, you would.
You, of all people.

I don't know.
Maybe.

Besides, it's not just death
that I have to deal with.

When I save a life,
you know, somebody's son,
somebody's daughter,

there's nothing
more gratifying
in the world.

What if there's nothing
you can do?

Then it's my job
to make sure
they don't die alone.

Herc,

what're we
still doing here, huh?

We should be back at base camp,
before there's another attack.

Nikos can't be moved.

Well, if we hang around here
long enough,

we're gonna end up as dead
as the rest of these guys.

No! No, we are not
goin' anywhere!

It's my duty to finish
what Eteocles started.

- We carry out the mission.
- Are you out of your mind?

Jason,
we're the only ones left.

- We don't stand a chance!
- All right!

We can't leave Nikos here,

and we can't move him yet.

All right.
The Parthans don't know
that we're here.

They would've attacked
by now.

We're gonna stay put,
take turns on watch.

Now, does anybody
have a problem with that?

[ Groaning ]

Keep him quiet.

[ Shouting ]

[ Shouting Continues ]

[ Gasping ]

No! Aaah!

No! No! No!
Jason!

Jason!
No! No!

Shh!
They'll hear you.

I let Eteocles die!
I-- I was supposed
to cover his back!

I was supposed to--
Shh. It was an ambush.

It's not your fault, man.

It's your turn on watch.

Now, can you handle it?
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

You sure?
Yeah. Yeah.

How's he doin'?

Can you keep him talking?

He's gotta stay awake.

Hey, pal.

Hercules.

We're gonna get out
of here real soon.

[ Chuckles ]
You're a bad liar.

Well, we are though.

You're gonna get
to see your wife.

How'd you guys meet?

We've known each other...

since we were children.

Best friends
all our lives.

She asked me
to marryher.

- You're a lucky guy.
- Yeah, I am.

[ Coughs ]

It's funny,

the smallest things
could make her happy,

like a sunset,

or the sound
of the rain--

things I never even
thought mattered.

But they do, Hercules.

They matter.

Don't worry, buddy,
you're gonna get to share
those things with her real soon.

Nikos.

[ Alcmene ]
Jason doesn't talk
about that war much,

but I know
he thinks about it,
from time to time.

We all do.

I suppose, in a way,
he still blames himself
for the king's death.

Some scars never heal.
Hmm, they fade a little,

but they don't go away.

You all right?
Mm-hmm.

Would you mind
if we stopped
for a moment?

[ Sighs ]
I'm just a little winded.
I'll be fine.

Mother, why are you
doing this?
What are you talking about?

Look, Jason told me
about last night.
You are not fine.

I know you don't want
to worry us,

but you don't have to
pretend anymore.

Please, you should be in bed.

Let me take care of you.

Not even the best healer's
gonna make a difference,
Hercules.

I'm dying.

You can't be sure
of that.

Well, I wasn't
until this morning.

When I-- I saw the way you
looked at me in the garden--
[ Scoffs ] Oh, God.

You could never
hide anything from me.
Your eyes always gave you away.

Come on.

Maybe I'm wrong.

I'll stop pretending
if you will.

I won't let you go
without a fight.

Don't look so sad.

I'm not afraid.

And I won't waste
whatever time I have left...

sitting around
feeling sorry for myself.

So, let's go.

It's a beautiful day,

and I want to
spend it with my son.

Hey.
Hey.

[ Man Groaning ]

- You hear that?
- Somebody's hurt out there.

We've gotta help them.

Well, what if
it's one of theirs?

Then I hope he dies
a slow and painful death.
[ Groaning Continues ]

We can't just leave him
out there, Jas.

Oh, yes, we can.
If the Parthans see you,
then we're all dead.

I know you feel responsible
for Eteocles' death, Jason,

but letting whoever's
out there die is not gonna
make you feel any better.

[ Groaning Continues ]
I hope you know
what you're doing, buddy.

Stay here.
[ Grunts ]

[ Panting ]

What're you doing here?
You should be back
in the trench!

If it's not safe
to move him,
you won't know.

[ Grunts ]

He's a Parthan.

I'll need to make
a tourniquet for his leg
before we can move him.

- Who are you?
- Don't worry.
We're here to help.

[ Arrow Whistling ]
[ Grunts ]

- [ Groaning ]
- [ Jason ] Come on!
Come on! You can make it!

-[ Iolaus ]
Come on! Get him in here!
-[ Jason ] Look out!

[ Iolaus ]
Come on! Come on! Hurry up!

Come on!
Come on! Come on!
Let's move it!

Go!

Move! Move! Move!
Yes.

Stay down!

[ Groaning ]

Here. Let me help.
Oh, no! No!
Break it off.

[ Grunts ]

Now go help him.
Quit tryin' to be
such a hero, Cal.

Look who's talking.

I'll be okay.
Go help him.

No! No way
does that vermin
get any of our water.

He can have
myrations, Jason.

What's your name?
My name's Hercules.

This is gonna hurt
a little bit.

[ Groaning ]

I'd rather die
than have to breathe
the same air as you.

- You're welcome.
- Herc, they know
we're here now.

Yeah, but they
don't know how many.
We still got a little time.

- And if we run?
- [ Sighs ]

They got us pinned down.
Wouldn't make it very far.

Look, Herc, I know
you're not one to cash
in on special favors,

but now would be
a really, really good time
to call up the old man.

Zeus never
helped me before.

I doubt
he's gonna start now.

Besides, I fight
my own battles.

Mother, there's something
I've always wanted to ask.

Do you resent Zeus
for what he did to you?

Hmm. I admit I was angry
when I found out Zeus
had come to me as Amphitryon,

but all that went away
the day you were born,

and, like it or not,
I have Zeus to thank
for blessing me with you.

But if I had
one wish for you, son,

it would be
to have you reconcile
with your father.

Please.
You've been carrying
that burden for too long.

It's time
to let it go.
It's a little too late.

Too many people
I love have--

He's been
a disappointing father.

Well, don't blame Zeus
for what's happening to me.

This is my battle,
not his.

[ Gasps ]
Oh!

Did you want to dance?
[ Chuckling ]

I'm all right.
Fine, but I'm takin'
you home anyway.

Hey, Herc, I could do
with some water.

Thanks.

There must be something more
I can do.

Remember what I said
about not dying alone?

You're doing all you can.

[ Rumbling ]

[ Rumbling Continues ]

It's a Nafoline Cannon!
Come on, let's go!

Everybody out! Now!

Jas, give me a hand!

[ Grunting ]

[ Groaning ]

Let's make a break
for those woods over there.
No way!

We're pinned down.
We don't have a chance!

I say we go.
Let's go now!

[ Panting ]

Hey! What're you doing?
I'm gonna draw their fire!

- Cal, I can't let you do that.
- I've gotta do it. Otherwise,
you'll all be killed!

It's your turn now.
Cal!

[ Grunting ]

Get up!
Push!

Hey! Hey!

Aaah!

Aaah!

[ Screams, Grunts ]

[ Shouting ]
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

[ Arrow Lands ]
Hey--
[ Grunts ]

[ Shouts ]

Cal!

You okay?

You consider yourself lucky
to be alive.

Go ahead and kill me.
You'll do it
sooner or later.

You're a bunch
of bloodthirsty thieves.

[ Jason ] Us?
You people tried to steal land
that didn't belong to you!

My forefathers owned that land
before the Caylans
settled there.

And that gives you the right
to start slaughtering people?

You think we haven't
suffered losses?
You brought that on yourselves!

Are the Caylans supposed
to stand there and let
you people march in?

- They shouldn't have been there
in the first place!
- Enough!

What are we
doing here, guys?

We're killing each other
over this.

There's enough land
between the two kingdoms
for everyone.

Some things
are worth fightin' for.
This is not one of 'em.

That's not your decision
to make, Hercules.

You're right, Jason.
It's yours.

You're a king.

And being a good leader's
not about winning wars.

It's about keepin'
the peace.

And you, before you go off
accusing anybody
of being an animal,

know that he risked
hislifeto save you.

Now, we can sit around
and argue about
who was here first...

while guys like us
are out there getting killed,

or we can put
an end to this war.

So, what are
you thinkin', Herc?

[ Sighs ]
What's your name?

[ Sighs ]
Teresius.

Teresius, can you get us in
to see your king?

If I go there with you,
I could be hanged
for treason.

And you could be executed
on the spot.

We all have
a risk to take.

Are we in?

Hercules, would you give us
a moment alone, please?

I don't know
what to say.

Do you know why
I love you so much?

Because we've already
said everything...

we'd ever want to say
to each other.

How many people
are that blessed?

[ Sighs ]
I feel so useless.

She's the one
doing all the comforting.

[ Chuckles ]
I'm not surprised.

You may have
the blood of a god,

but your real strength
comes from her.

[ Sighs ]

I can't just stand by
and do nothing.

Hercules,

you know you're
the best friend I--

And I've seen you do
some things which
I thought were impossible.

But maybe there are
some battles
you just can't win.

Ready your weapons!

[ Grunting ]

Hold your fire!

Get down on your knees,
or they'll kill us all.

We surrender!

He's one of ours!
Open the gates!

[ Man ]
Bring them in!

Close the gates!
[ Man #2 ]
Let's kill them now!

[ Man ]
Death to the Caylans!

[ Grunting ]

You are the one
that captured
the King of Corinth?

No, Your Highness.

They saved my life.

They're here
of their own free will.

You're either very brave,
or you're very foolish.

Foolish for believing
this war is just,
Your Highness?

If we continue, there won't be
anyone left on either side
to celebrate victory.

A noble thought, young man,
but it's remarkably naive.

We've sacrificed too much
to stop now.

Well, I think
we've sacrificed
too much to go on.

[ Jason ]
King Eteocles was our ally.

Now that he's dead,
I have the authority
to recall his troops,

if you'll listen to what
we have to say.

That sounded like a threat.

I could have you killed
where you stand.

[ Hercules ]
Ours is a mission of peace,
Your Highness.

Our lives are
in your hands.

Up.

Go on.
Share your land
with the Caylans.

Your kingdoms can
live together in peace,

and we'll know that
our brothers did not
die in vain.

- And why should I trust you?
- Corinth has nothin'
to gain in this war.

But in peace,
we gain a new ally.

And I'm to believe that all our
differences will just disappear
with the wave of a hand?

No, it will take time.

But if any part of you
does want peace,

then we can't be
that different.

May the gods help you
if you're lying.

Dispatch a message
for all fronts.

Cease fire.

All of Corinth is talking
about what you did, Hercules.

I couldn't be more proud.

This belonged
to a friend of mine,

a kid about my age.

I had to watch him die, Mother,
to realize you were right.

There's no glory in war.

For every boy
that's not coming home,

100 more will,
and that's because of you.

You did everything
you could.

Then why do I feel
like I failed?

[ Sighs ]
You're safe now, son.

You're home.

I have known you
since you were a boy, Iolaus,

and it has been a joy
watching you grow
into the man you are.

[ Sighs ]
You always made me
feel like--

like part
of the family, Alcmene.

[ Sighs ]
Thank you.

On the bureau, son,
I-- I have something for you.

In the jewel box.

You kept it.

You do deserve it.

You always have.

I love you, Mother.

You have made
my life complete.

I couldn't have asked
for a greater gift.

I have no regrets,
my love,

no regrets.

[ Sighs ]

[ Screams ]

[ Crying ]

I'm sorry, son.

Alcmene was a beautiful woman.

Zeus.
