All language subtitles for Hercules- The Legendary Journeys - S05E08 - Darkness Rising

You'll leave Morrigan?
Mabon, I have to.

If she's to fulfill her new
role as the Spirit of Justice,

she still has
much to learn.

[ Man Narrating ]
Previously onHercules.

Not as much as you think.

My name's Balder.
I'm Hercules.

- I come from Greece.
- Welcome to Norseland.

I can't be harmed. See for
yourself. Try to strike me dead.

- [ Men Shouting, Indistinct ]
- If you insist.

You sure
this is what you want?

There.
Satisfied?

Balder!
He's dead.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Hercules ] Somehow
this paint affects fate.

Loki painted
what he wanted to see,

and the paint
made it happen.

Mm-hmm.

Not this time.

- Catch.
- [ Man Murmurs ]

The dart was poisoned.
Loki just tried to kill you.

I hate it
when a plan falls apart.

Thanks again for
saving my life. Anytime.

We owe a lot
to our dreams.

Don't give up on yours.

[ Grunts ]

- [ Screams ]
- [ People Chattering ]

[ Bleating ]

Now, that had to hurt. Think you
don't have to work like the rest of us?

That'll teach ya
to take my money.

Excuse me. I hate to break up a
party, but I'm looking for Morrigan.

She's a redhead,
aboutthatbig. Well, over there.

[ Woman ] Empty the bucket! Ah. Figures.

[ Morrigan Yelling ]

[ Man ]
What's goin' on?

Uh, Morrigan?

Hmm?
Hmm?

[ Man ] Tear their
heads off! [ Laughing ]

Shame on you, Brendan Culhare. A strappin'
young lad stealin' trinkets from merchants,

when you could be workin' the
farm with your dear old da.

If your mother was alive, you know what
she'd do? [ Man ] Crack him another one!

[ Crowd Laughing,
Chattering ]

[ Screaming, Grunts ]

- Thanks.
- Came back to see if you needed help...

with your new job
as the Guardian of Justice.

Looks like
you're doin' fine.

Oh, I am now.
Mm.

[ Morrigan ] Did you ever feel
like you'd lost something precious,

but you didn't know what it was or
even where to start lookin' for it?

Oh, I think I've been
there once or twice, yes.

Those years with Cernunnos... even
after my sweet Brigid was born...

I felt as if
I was missin' somethin'.

But I couldn't name it until you showed
me the humanity I never even knew I had.

It was inside you all
along. Aye, so you say.

But it was you
who brought it to life.

So, what will you
be doing now?

I guess I'll head
back to Greece.

But after all that's happened, I
wonder if it'll still feel like home.

Then stay here with me.

We could make this our home
together.

[ 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!

Morrigan,
it's not that simple.

I can't just
stay here with you.

When you left without sayin'
good-bye, I was a little hurt.

I told Mabon...
I know.

Mabon was supposed to
tell me. [ Exhales ]

But you know
what I realized?

Beyond the hurt,
there was a longing.

I think about you
night and day.

I'm flattered.

I've thought a lot
about you too.

Then why are you leavin'?

And why did you come back?

Everybody
I get close to dies.

What are you talkin' about? My
family, my friends... they're all dead.

I can't take the risk
that you'll follow them.

Wasn't that my risk
to take then?

Stay a few days.

We don't have
to decide anything right now.

We've got
all the time in the world.

[ Grunting ]
[ People Chattering ]

[ Hercules Sighs ] Caesar's
armies left a lot of damage.

Aye, and Meath
got the worst of it.

I hear people from every tribe are
joining together to help rebuild the town.

I don't know if that's such a good
idea. Most of 'em hate each other.

Well, what better way for them
to learn to get along?

I want to help too. You do? We'll
have to find a job for you then.

You!

How dare you
show your face here?

Why don't you go over there
and play with those children?

[ Girl ]
Look what I found.

Bronagh, she's here to help.

Help?
[ Scoffs ]

She's a murderer.
She killed my sister.

Killing her won't bring
your sister back.

I can't forget
what she's done.

Neither can I.

I can't erase
the memory of your loss.

I'm sorry.

Bronagh, for your sake...

for their sake...

you have to leave the past to
the past and go on with your life.

You expect me
to forgive her?

Yes.

If you truly believe
in what the Druids teach,

the virtues
that they represent...

like compassion
and mercy...

hatred has to end sometime.

Let's get to work.

It's a start.
Come on.

[ People Chattering ]

[ Man Chattering ]

[ Man ]
Fergus.

Thank you.

[ Man ]
Let's work.

[ Hercules ]
Ever since I left Greece,

one way or the other,
I've been at war.

I almost forgot how good it feels
to build something with my own hands.

But what right does Hercules
have to enjoy life...

when his friend lolaus
lies dead in a foreign land?

I know.
It doesn't make sense.

Everyone who survives the death
of a loved one wonders the same.

In time,
you'll find your answer.

Perhaps for you, the answer is
Morrigan. You know about that?

Ah, of course you do. You're
the Druid Spirit of Wisdom.

You know everything.

It's... It's just that when I'm with
her and Brigid, it feels like a family.

I never realized
how much I missed that.

I hear another "but. "

Families are for
ordinary men, Mabon.

True, but you and Morrigan share
an extraordinary heritage.

What heritage?
My father was Zeus.

And Morrigan's mother
was Badb, Goddess of War.

You were raised a half-god
among humans.

She, a half-human among gods.

Similar wounds
cause similar scars.

What heals one wound...
Heals another.

Maybe I taught you somethin'
after all.

Maybe.

[ Hercules ] It's beautiful here.

That it is.

My father
brought me here.

I wasn't much older
than she is now...

the day my mother
took me away.

What happened
to your father?

I used to come back here,

hopin' he was still
waitin' for me.

I imagine he died
a long time ago.

I'm sorry.

The other day, someone said
leave the past in the past,

go on with your life.

This is my life.

Here. Now.

Morrigan...
[ Lightning Cracks ]

[ Hercules ] Great. [ Lightning Cracks ]

[ Morrigan ]
Brigid, let's go.

Come on. As you can see,
I lead a charmed life.

Remind me not to stand
too close to ya.

Mommy, you're all wet. [
Hercules ] So are you, squirt.

Rain's starting to let up. It should
pass by morning. [ Thunderclap ]

Oh. I was meant to be with the
Druids in our temple tonight...

to celebrate
the coming harvest.

Their loss, my gain.

Hmm? What? Oh, nothing. Nothing.

How's Brigid?

[ Sighs ] Asleep. Ah.

[ Inhales ] So, outside. Hmm?

Before...
Mm?

was that just me, or were
you wantin' to say somethin'?

Yeah. Um...

The first time
I met you, I...

I- I thought
you were a monster.

I was. No, no. You...
You did monstrous things,

but there was a...
goodness inside you.

Just as... there's a darkness inside me.

The Druids saw it.

It's like we're...

two sides
of the same coin.

What exactly are you sayin'?

Um, just that...

this is... nice,
I guess.

So, what do we do now?

Right now?
Mm.

I think we could
both use some sleep.

[ Screaming ]

[ Murmuring, Indistinct ]

[ Gasps ]

Morrigan, get Brigid.
We have to go.

What's wrong?

Come on, baby.
[ Whimpering ]

Where's the entrance?
Gone.

I have to get to the Druids. You
and Brigid hide behind this rock.

Put your head down,
sweetie.

- What are you going to do?
- Make a door.

- [ Loud Crash ]
- Oh!

[ Mabon Gasping ]
Hercules.

I can't let this happen.
Iwon'tlet it happen.

Don't.
There's nothing you can do.

My time has come.
I'm dying.

I've accepted it,
and so must you.

I saw this.

I mean, somehow I knew.

The power of illumination.

When your mind's at peace,

it opens to visions of
other places, other times.

- The future.
- Possible futures.

As you've always known,
we make our own destiny.

- Who did this?
- He's from outside this world...

a thing of evil
and incarnate darkness.

- Dahak.
- [ Coughs ] It hurts, Hercules.

Please, don't leave me.

I'm afraid.
I won't.

I'm right here.
I won't leave you.

[ Coughing ]

[ Gasps ]

Did you bury them?

Yeah.

So how do we kill
this Dahak?

It won't be easy.

Dahak's more powerful
than most gods.

I fought him the last time he
tried to enter our world in Sumeria.

My best friend
died stopping him.

Then we both have good
reason to make him pay.

No. This can't be about revenge.
Mabon had it right.

Evil feeds on anger and hatred.

If we let rage rule reason,
we only destroy ourselves.

Then what do we do?

We find out how he got here and
send him back where he came from.

How do we do that?

I don't know.

[ Sighs ]
God.

Mabon said that my visions
are possible futures.

[ Screaming ]

Nebula.

I have to go back
to Sumeria.

So, when do we leave? Wedon't.
The Celts need you here.

The Celts need justice. So, stopping
Dahak is as much my duty as it is yours.

I'm comin' with ya.
Fine.

Come on.

I don't want you
to go, Mommy.

I know, my darlin',
but don't you worry.

You're in the best of hands.

We'll take care of her
like she was our own.

[ Crying ]

Up.

I'll miss you, baby.

I can't do this
without Mabon.

Yes, you can.

Use what he taught you to
find peace within yourself.

Let me help you.
It's no use.

I just can't.
Why not?

All right, let me guess.

The Druids saw good in you when
everyone else saw only evil.

They took you in as one of their own...
gave you their power, their understanding.

But when they needed you most, you
failed them. Does that about sum it up?

I should've been there
to protect them.

Then Dahak would've
killed you too.

[ Sighs ]

Stop blaming yourself.

I've never lost anybody
I cared about before.

Because you never
used to care.

That pain you feel is...

one of the risks and rewards
of being human.

How do you stand it?

I've had a lot of practice.

[ Exhales ]

[ Sniffles ]

You were wrong, Hercules.
About what?

You told me once...

everybody
you care about dies.

Well, if I'd been in the temple
with the Druids that night,

I would've died too.

Being with you
saved my life.

Hercules, welcome.

Good to see you again.
You too.

Morrigan, this is Agenor,
Nebula's chief of staff. Pleasure.

Her Majesty will be so displeased
she couldn't greet you herself.

- Where is she? - Busy with affairs
of state. Come. You-You must be hungry.

I'm glad to have this chance to apologize
for my harsh words on our journey.

That's okay. What's through
there? Just an empty storeroom.

- You mustn't go in there.
- Why not?

[ Hercules ]
Nebula.

What's wrong with her? She's been having
strange dreams and hallucinations...

talking to people
who weren't there.

Now she's completely
withdrawn.

If the people found out that their
queen has gone mad, there'd be a panic.

- How did she end up like this?
- The problems started after you left.

She adjusted quite well
to her role as queen,

especially in light of
her recent loss. lolaus.

[ Agenor Narrating ] She
ordered his body preserved...

so you could
take him home to Greece.

She never doubted
you'd return.

[ Men Chattering ] What grief
she felt, she kept to herself.

So when she began to act strangely,
I couldn't help but notice.

Otherwise, we have a citizenry
that's dependant upon the state.

[ Man ] Put yourself
in their place, Agenor.

We must not put limits
on our aid to the needy.

Queen Nebula,
what are your thoughts?

[ Murmuring ]

[ Laughing ] Smooth move, twinkle toes.

Your Highness.

Who were you talking to?

It's very difficult to be sure
without examining her.

From everything
you've described to me...

[ Continues, Indistinct ]
[ Woman Screaming ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Whimpering, Screaming ]

Naturally, after she nearly
killed herself,

it was necessary to confine
her for her own safety.

It doesn't make sense.

Nebula's too strong to let
grief bring her down like this.

- I have to talk to her.
- It's hopeless. She hasn't spoken a word in days.

She will to him.

If you could reach me,
you can reach her.

The first time we met,
I didn't like you much.

I thought you were selfish,
coldhearted and mercenary.

Stop me if you disagree.

Even when you helped us out,
I figured that was a fluke.

Sure, you were brave
and a good fighter.

But trustworthy? [ Scoffs ] No way.

Well, maybe I misjudged you.

Or maybe you really changed
since then.

But I'll tell you...

lolaus saw something more in you
from the beginning.

The more rude and crude you
were, the more he liked you.

[ Chuckles ]

The look on his face when
you slapped him... I remember.

You're really here.

[ Sobs, Crying ]

[ Sobbing ]

It's all so jumbled.

I can't tell what's real
or in my mind.

We'll figure it out.

What happened after I left?

We put lolaus
in the tomb.

[ Nebula Narrating ] And
then life had to go on.

I had responsibilities... an
entire kingdom to rule and protect.

I never felt so alone
in all my life.

And the more I was tended to,
the more alone I felt.

Leave me.

[ Nebula Narrating ] I had
everything anyone could ever want,

except someone
to share it with.

That's when
I missed lolaus the most...

the way he used to
smile at me, [ Chuckles ]

and his laughter.

I began to imagine
he was watching over me.

And every night,
he was in my dreams.

Mmm!
[ Sighs ]

Well, this is a sad commentary
on my social life... Hmm.

when the best way I can
think of spending an evening...

is dreaming about
some dead guy.

[ Chuckling ] Yeah.
It's pretty pathetic.

Mmm.
Or maybe...

it's just romantic.

It depends
on your point of view.

It's not fair, you know.

Just as I found you,
I lost you.

Ah. Well,

that's why I'm here.

[ Sighs ] I wish I'd told you sooner.

I love you.

Oh. You did tell me,
a thousand times...

in a thousand different ways.

[ Nebula Narrating ]
Those dreams left me exhausted,

feeling like I hadn't
slept at all.

It was so hard to concentrate.

- I began to see things.
- We must encourage the community to help itself.

[ Agenor Continues,
Indistinct ]

It should be the other way
around. [ No Audible Dialogue ]

[ Man ] Queen Nebula,
what are your thoughts?

[ Murmuring ]

Come here.
lolaus.

This way.

Wait.

[ Man ] Is everything
all right, my queen?

[ Exhales ]

Carry on.

[ Nebula Narrating ] Of course,
I knew it was just a fantasy,

a way to keep him alive.

I told myself it was a
harmless diversion, [ Laughing ]

that the dreams
would pass with time.

[ Imitating Agenor ] Your Highness,
on behalf of my esteemed colleagues...

none more esteemed
than myself, of course...

I would just like to say that
we exist for nothing less...

than to kiss
Your Royal Highness's backside.

[ Laughing ]

Oops. Smooth move, twinkle toes.

Your Highness.

Who were you talking to?

Agenor said
it was the wind.

[ Scoffs ] But we both
know that wasn't true.

I began to wonder if
anything I saw was real.

[ Sighs ] I couldn't trust my own mind.

You can trust me.

I'm here.
I'm real.

I decided to put a stop
to lolaus once and for all.

[ Gasping, Moaning ]

[ Moaning Softly ]

This has to stop.

[ Exhales ]
I know why you're upset.

It's this world,

trying to survive in it
and be a thriving thing.

It's wearing you down.

What's wearing me down...

is that my dreams...

are more real
than my reality.

[ Chortling ]

Well, you know,
as a way of life,

reality is highly overrated.

I can give you something
so much better.

Freedom. You can't give me anything.

I loved you,

but you're dead.

And it's over.

[ Growls ]

I'm not done yet.
[ Whimpering ]

Now,

wouldn't you rather
be free?

Hmm?

Isn't that what
you've always wanted?

I'm not gonna argue...

with a figment
of my imagination.

- It's over.
- [ Roaring ] No!

It isn't over
till I say it's over!

Now it's over.

[ Gasping ]

[ Screaming ]

[ Continues Screaming ]

[ Screaming ]
[ Gasps ]

After that, I just snapped.

Agenor said I must have knocked
over a lit candle onto the bed...

and just imagined the rest.

I don't know.
Maybe I did.

Maybe you didn't.

I'll be back.

Stay here.
Don't let anyone in.

Show me how to get to
the tombs. This way.

Hercules.
Boo.

I don't know where you came from,
Dahak, but you're not staying.

[ Mock Sobbing ]

I come back all the way from
the dead just to see you,

and this is the thanks I get.

You may have his body,
but you're not lolaus.

Really?
Then who am I?

Mm. I guess this is a question everybody
asks themselves sooner or later.

Don't you think?

Pity I had to die
to find my answer.

Still, better late
than never, huh?

How about,
better never than ever.

Oh, clever.

[ Growling ]

[ Speaking Demonic Language,
Distorted ]

[ Groans ]

[ Normal Voice ] And
you can quote me on that.

You can quote me on this.

Boy, I'm glad you missed.

Otherwise I could've ended up
looking like this.

[ Groans ]

[ Laughing ]

[ Voice Distorted ]
Let's take 'er for a spin.

[ Clicks Tongue ]
Shall we?

Oh! What a rush.

[ Chortling ]

[ Normal Voice ] You still
don't believe it's me, do ya?

Okay. Let me tell ya
a little story.

dddd [ Organ Fanfare ]

[ Dramatically ] It's the
story of a time long ago.

We open on our hero,
Hercules.

A broken man,
a shell of his former self.

He wanders the world
aimlessly,

grieving over the loss
of this best friend, lolaus.

You see,

he thought he'd stopped Dahak
from entering the world.

But...
dddd [ Organ ]

dddd [ Organ Rising ] All Dahak
needed was a warrior heart,

so when little lolaus sacrificed
himself for the fair maiden, Nebula,

[ Demonic Voice ] Dahak
had everything he needed.

dddd [ Organ Crescendos, Stops ]
[ Normal Voice ] dd The end dddd

Or maybe it's only the
beginning. [ Giggling ]

lolaus would have never
given himself to you.

Oh, you'd be surprised how
death changes a man, Hercules.

The rules you lived by
no longer apply.

And suddenly you realize
you have the freedom to do...

anything at all.

I wouldn't say that.

See, I'm not gonna let you walk
out of here with my friend's body.

[ Growls ]

I am getting a little tired of you
talking about me like I wasn't there.

I am lolaus,

and I am gonna bring freedom
to the world...

starting
with the people I love.

[ Sighs Softly ]

Nebula.

[ Demonic Voice ]
Honey, I'm home.

Leave me alone.
You're not real.

[ Gasps ]

[ Normal Voice ]
What is with everybody today?

Nobody wants to know me
for myself.

What about me?

What about my needs?

Get out of my head.

Get out of my head!

What is it?

[ Grunts ]

[ Dahak, Demonic Voice ]
And I asked him nicely...

- He's real!
- You're not crazy.

Let's go!

[ Agenor ]
Your Highness.

Get everybody out of here!
Now!

[ Laughs ]

- [ Grunts ]
- [ Groaning ]

[ Whistles ]

Get down!

I'm sorry. I thought you were
crazy. I'm starting to wish I were.

Head for the door.
No chance.

It's payback time. Ever heard the
saying, "Live to fight another day"?

What about you?
Don't worry about me.

On three! Two! One!

[ Laughing ]

[ Demonic Voice ] I get it.
This is the part where you say...

[ Hercules's Voice ] "This is my
fight, Dahak. Leave them out of it. "

Not bad, but your delivery
lacked a certain punch.

Oh! Ah!
Oh!

[ Gasping ]

[ Normal Voice ]
You know,

we're a couple
of lucky guys.

Two beautiful women.

We should stop fighting
and... double-date.

Yeah,
when Tartarus freezes over.

[ Choking ]

[ Demonic Voice ] You know
it's really me, don't you?

lolaus, if you're in there,
fight.

Help me stop him.

[ Muffled Growl ]

[ Choking, Coughing ]

[ Normal Voice ]
Hercules.

[ Gasping ]

Hercules.
You've gotta help me.

Please.
Come on.

[ Laughing ]

[ Demonic Voice ]
I knew you couldn't kill me.

You're still holding on
to what we were.

Well, it's time to grow up.

It'll be a whole new day
in Greece, buddy!

- [ Grunts ]
- Oh!

What happened?
He's headed for Greece.

So, why are we standin'
about? I'll get the ship ready.

- Nebula.
- Herc, I'm done here.

Agenor can take care
of things for a while.

You know where I stand.
Let's do some damage.

All right then.

We stop Dahak together...

or we die trying.
