All language subtitles for Hercules 510 - Let There Be Light

[ Man ]
Previously onHercules--

I guess I'll head
back to Greece.

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.

[ Screaming ]

Who did this?

It was from
outside this world.

A thing of evil
and incarnate darkness.

Dahak?

Hercules. Boo.

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

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

Get down!

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

You're still holding on,
but it's time to grow up.

It will be a whole new
day in Greece, buddy!

He's headed for Greece.
So why are we
standing about?

Let's do some damage.

All right, then.

We stop Dahak together.

Or we die trying.

It has returned.

Hey, look.
I finally got something.

And you can keep
the stupid pole,
you miserable fish.

Uh, little tip.

You're only supposed
to toss in the line,
not the whole rod.

It's easier
to catch fish.

If the gods
had intended for people
to be at sea,

they'd have
given us gills.

I can't stand another day
on this rocking horse.

Well, you see,

it helps...

if you have something
to pass the time.

I do love a man who knows
how to reel a girl in.

Uh--

Morrigan, I don't want you
to take this the wrong way,

because you're one of the best
things that's ever happened
to me, but I just--

That's wonderful.

Sounds like a prelude
to a kick in the pants.

Um-- Uh, no.

It's not that at all.

Dahak has got
a real head start on us,

and for all I know,
Greece won't even be there
when we arrive.

What I'm saying is,
we have to be ready
for anything.

And I can't help but wonder
if we picked the wrong time
to get involved.

What makes you think
we picked anything?

I didn't choose
to feel this way.

Nevertheless, I do.

But you're right,
Hercules.

We've got more important
things to tend to before
we can put a name...

to this fine feelin'
between us.

And if it's strong enough,
it'll last.

[ Clears Throat ]

Good morning.
Uh, get some sleep?

What do you think?

Okay.
Lovely girl.

She's got all the grace
and charm of a hatchet.

[ Hercules ]
And many other
admirable qualities.

I wonder.
Dahak drove her mad.

Who knows if she's really
back to her old self?

[ Hercules ]
She may never be.

I'd still trust her
with my life.

Well, isn't this
a pleasant surprise?

Yeah, it's a little
too pleasant.

This just doesn't
make any sense.
[ Woman ] Welcome, friends.

Come and join us!

Our doors are always
open to strangers.

What's the occasion?
It's the beginning
of a new era.

You see, the reign
of the Olympian gods
has ended,

and a glorious light
has dawned on our world.

Wait. The gods are gone?
Oh, they abandoned us
not long ago.

Famine and drought
nearly brought an end
to Greece.

We prayed for days,
but our prayers went unanswered.

It seemed all hope
was lost...

until one of our own sons
returned reborn
to deliver us from ruin!

I'll bet he did.
Oh, I was blinded
as a child,

but the God of Light
blessed me with his
merciful touch.

And now,
I am once again...

able to see the world
in all its glory.

Save yourselves!
Save yourselves!

- It's Hercules!
-[ All Gasping ]

Hercules! Oh, no!
Please, don't hurt me!

- [ Woman ]
Get out of here!
- I am not going to hurt you.

The day of reckoning
is at hand.

But fear not,
my children.

I will save you
from Hercules.

[ Woman ]
Save us, Iolaus,
save us!

[ 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!

Hercules, if you have
any goodness
in your heart at all,

leave now,
before you lose control...

and claim more
innocent lives.

- Yes.
- He's lying.

You all know me.
I wouldn't hurt
any of you.

That is exactly
what I told them
you would say.

It's not too late.
Accept me into your heart,

and I can help you
repent of your crimes.

To what crimes
would you be referrin'?
It's all right, my child.

There's no need
to continue lying.

I know everything.

I know you stood by...

while Hercules slaughtered
the gentle Druids...

who had been so good to you
in your hour of need.

Don't. The angrier we get,
the more we confirm
everything he says.

They're just words.

Hercules, your contempt
for the Olympians
has been no secret.

Now you have returned
to destroy them,
and that is why they have fled.

Livia, you were
my mother's best friend.
You know me.

I don't know
who you are anymore.

I'm just glad
Alcmene isn't here
to see what you've become.

Hercules,

if you can't allow
the light into your heart,

at least allow these people
the freedom to worship in peace.

Come on.

This was round one.

[ All Jeering ]

I don't suppose
this is the homecoming
you were expecting.

Iolaus and I
used to play up here
when we were kids.

I knew every inch
of this forest.

Now it feels like
I've never even
been here before.

I don't mean to sound
callous, Hercules,

but perhaps
it's the best thing.

Like you taught me--
What's past is past,

and you're gonna
have to let it go
to stop Iolaus.

Stop right there.

That thing
we're up against
is not Iolaus.

Don't make
that mistake again.

I let you talk to me
like that 'cause I know
you loved him.

- But if I want your opinion,
I'll ask for it.
- Here we go.

I knew Iolaus.

Dahak may have
his body,

but there's no way
he has his soul.

That's a very dangerous
attitude you've got there.

See, if it comes down
to him or me,

and you pick him, well, then,
our friendship won't have
much of a future, now will it?

- Okay. That's enough.
- What makes you think it has
much of a future now?

All right.
I said that's enough.

We don't know for sure
what we're dealing with here.

But we can't start
doubting each other now.

Nebula, we both have to
prepare for the possibility...

that Iolaus isn't
the same person
we used to know.

All right.
Let's say you're right.

Do you really think you can
bring yourself to kill him?

Because I don't know
if I can.

We may not have
a choice.

- So what now?
- Now we find answers.

People must be paying a price
for all their prosperity,
even if they don't know it yet.

- Why don't you see
what you can find out.
- Where are you going?

Visit an old friend.

Hey, Jason.

Get away from me, Hercules.
You're not welcome here.

Iolaus said you'd come
to me for help.

Well, you won't get any!
Now, go away!

Come on, Jason.
Open the door.

Whatever you heard,
it's a lie.

So where've you been?
You abandoned us,
your own people!

And your hatred for the gods
finally drove you insane!

If I'm insane, why am I
standing out here
trying to reason with you?

Why haven't I just
broken the door down?

Come on, Jason.

I'm the same person
you grew up with.

I'm the same person
who watched you
marry my mother.

And I'm the same person...

who's always had the privilege
of calling you my friend.

[ Lock Rattles ]

Please stop! You don't
understand! You don't
know what you're doing!

These are works
of literature!
Who cares?

This is the future!
This is knowledge!

True knowledge comes only
from the God of Light.

No!
[ Groaning ]

Aw. Now, see?
That's where you're wrong.

'Cause we're here to teach
you boys a lesson.

Lesson number one:
What goes up must come down.

Lesson two:
When you hear the bell ring,
school's out.

Ah!
Class dismissed.

- Well done.
- Likewise.

[ Teacher Groaning ]
Are you all right there?

Up you go.
Oh, thank you.

The writings of Socrates,

Homer and Ovid.

These are more precious
to me than gold.

Nice to know there's
at least one freethinker
left among ya.

- Who are the goons?
- This God of Light
calls them his missionaries.

I call them trained thugs.

And I suppose
being a teacher puts you
at the top of their hit list.

They rounded me up with
the rest of my colleagues
to be converted,

but I managed to escape
and came back to save
what I could.

- Do you remember
where they took you?
- Yes. They have a stronghold--

[ Whimpering, Choking ]

Iolaus told everyone
you vowed to destroy
the Olympians.

He said he had no choice
but to eat ambrosia...

so he'd have
the strength to stop you.
Well, now you know the truth.

I'm sorry I doubted you,
Hercules, but when
the gods disappeared,

it seemed possible
you'd found a way
to kill them.

There's no need
to apologize.

Garden looks beautiful.
Mmm.

Alcmene
taught me well.

- Where's Iphicles?
- He left Corinth
on a diplomatic mission...

before any of this
happened.

Well, I'd love to stay,
but I've got to go find...

something that looks
like Iolaus.

You know, the old temples
are being converted into
shrines in his honor.

He said if we ever
needed him,

all we had to do
was pray.

[ Dahak ]
Now, why did you go
and do a thing like that?

We don't expect the maid
until tomorrow.

Well, then,
you're in luck,

because I'm here to wipe
the floor with your face.

You know,

I'm sensing a little
hostility here.

What have you done
with the Olympians?
The real question is,

what have they done
with themselves?

They left
before I arrived.

But don't worry.
I'll find them.

- I'm not the one
who should be worrying.
- [ Chuckles ]

I don't get it.
I spend my whole life
by your side,

fighting the gods.

And now that I have
the power to destroy them,
you're defending them.

I never wanted
to destroy them.

I only wanted to stop them
from playing with
people's lives.

If you really were Iolaus,
you'd know that.

[ Chuckling ]
What I know....

is that I have given
these people a choice.

Now, if they have accepted me
into their hearts
of their own free will,

who are you
to protest?

You lied to them
to win their loyalty.

I didn't force them to do
anything, and I can't help it
if these people are sheep.

And what do you
get out of this?

A return
to the good old days,

before the Olympians
graced the skies.

The good old days
are over.

Sorry, buddy.
Best to part now,

while we're still friends.

Iolaus!
If you're in there,

[ Groans ]
fight him!

[ Groaning ]

- Hercules?
- Iolaus?

Please. It hurts.

Please send him back.

I can't hold him off
much longer.

Kill me. Do it!

Do it now!
It hurts so much!
Please!

Kill me.
Kill me now.
Do it!

[ Yelling ]

Hercules! Go on.

Kill me now. Do it!

No. It's too simple.

You want me to kill you.

[ Dahak's Voice ]
Maybe I just want to
give you a fighting chance.

Maybe I wasn't
born yesterday.

This is the second time
you've tried to get me
to kill you.

And whatever
you've got in mind,
it won't work.

You know the great thing
about the future?

You never know how
it's gonna turn out.
[ Chuckling ]

Said he wanted to make
the world like it was
before the gods.

That mean anything to you?
It might mean something
to the Titans.

They were here
before the Olympians.

Didn't Zeus imprison them
beneath the earth?
Yep.

So I don't suppose
they'd be too anxious
to help his son.

Uh, no, but it's
all we've got.

Well, then, we know
what we have to do.

Jason's
expecting you?
Aye. We'll find the stronghold.

Don't you worry.
Okay.

You sure you're ready
for this?
Quit asking me that.

I was strong enough
to resist Iolaus
in Sumeria.

I'm strong enough
to resist him now.

Go. Get out of here.

All right. See you
back at Jason's tonight.

Mnemosyne!
Show yourself!

- And who are you?
- Sorry to drop in uninvited,
but I need your help.

I'm Hercules,
son of Zeus.
[ Yells ]

It was your father...

who imprisoned me here
for eternity!

And if I can never leave,
then neither can you!

No, hold your fire!
Listen to me!

Zeus is the least
of your problems.

Dahak has returned.
[ Yells ]

I, uh-- I take it
you weren't
the best of friends.

Before the reign
of the gods,

Dahak sought to take
the world from the Titans.

And by the time
we defeated him,
we were too weak...

to defend ourselves
against the Olympians.

So Zeus isn't the only one
to blame for putting you
down here.

Make no mistake
about it, Hercules.

I despise them both!

But if Dahak succeeds,

I won't live to see
the day that Zeus
kneels before me!

Yeah. Well, it's good
to have goals.

You must retrieve
the Stone of Creation.

If it is brought
before Dahak at
the dawning of the sun,

it will harness
a pure and perfect light.

Dahak will be
rendered powerless...

long enough for you
to send him back
to his realm.

Just tell me
where it is.

[ Grunting ]
No, no, no. Wait.

I-I've come to help.
Help me what?

I am Zarathustra,
the first to believe...

the lies of Dahak
a thousand years ago.

You're an immortal.

I've walked this earth
in your footsteps in the hope
that I would find you.

Because?
Because you
and you alone...

have the power
to destroy this world...

or to save it.

I never thought I'd
find you at the altar.

I never had a reason
to pray before.

- What are you praying for?
- Your soul.

I'm sorry for the way
I treated you
back in Sumeria.

But I meant
what I said.

We should be
together.

And then
you rejected me and,

well,

let's just say...

part of me
didn't take that too well.

And which part
am I speaking to now?

Ah, Nebula,
don't you know?

Not anymore.

The Iolaus I knew...

cared about other people
more than he cared
about himself.

If you're still the person
that I fell in love with,

leave Greece now,

before anyone else
gets hurt, please.

I promise you,

in my kingdom,
there will be
no suffering.

But you can't build
a new world...

without first
destroying the old one.

I won't be a part of that.

[ Dahak's Voice ]
We belong together,
Nebula.

Our love... is eternal.

Our world is made up
of two forces...

more basic and ancient
than any god or Titan--

the impulse to create...

and the impulse
to destroy.

These impulses exist
in all things.

Take something
as simple as water.

It can save
a thirsty man--
Or it can drown him.

So what you're saying is that
Dahak is just another name
for the destructive impulse.

As long as we keep
these two forces
in balance,

our world remains
in a state of harmony.

When Dahak entered
this realm,

the balance of power
began to sway,

and with each act
of destruction--

-the death of
the Sumerian gods--
- [ Screaming ]

death of the Druids--

Dahak grew stronger.

He wants me
to destroy him.

Because he holds
an innocent soul
within his grasp.

- Iolaus.
- Think of Dahak as a disease
that has infected your friend.

Now they are
one and the same.

If I send Dahak
back into his realm,

I condemn Iolaus's soul
to the same fate.

You have always been
a target for the forces
of darkness, Hercules,

because there is
a perfect union
of man and god within you.

If you damn
an innocent soul,

the balance of power
in this world
will forever turn,

and Dahak will have that
which he craves most.

Chaos.

You sure this is gonna work?
I'm not sure
of anything.

I made the mistake
of doubting Hercules once.

I'm not about to do it again.
It's not Hercules
I'm worried about.

[ Man ]
The God of Light
has summoned you both...

to join him
at a sermon
in your honor.

Why, Jason, I didn't know
you were having guests.
Neither did I.

Please thank him for
the kind invitation,

but we must decline.

Let's go, darling.
We insist.

Must be one heck
of a sermon.

I've got a question
for you boys.

These robes you're wearing--
They look very comfortable.

Did your mothers
make them for ya?
[ Both ] Hmm?

Or are ya both shopping
at the same boutique?

Morrigan!

I've been itching to do that
for a long time.

So if I destroy Dahak,
I destroy the world.

But if you don't,
Dahak will continue
to gather followers,

and we will come
to fight not one beast
but a legion of darkness.

That's wonderful. It's not
often that things are
worse than I thought.

Sorry, Hercules.
Wish I could offer more.

Perhaps mankind
has had its turn.

No. Nothing has ever
determined the course
of our destiny.

I'm not about to let
Dahak start now.

You said he's like a disease.
If that's true,
Iolaus can be cured.

I'm not following you.

If we could separate
Iolaus's soul
from Dahak,

then Dahak can be sent
back into his realm...

and Iolaus will
finally be able
to rest in peace.

You're talking about
an exorcism.

I witnessed one centuries ago.
It's not something
I care to remember.

You could destroy Iolaus,
and Dahak would still
have the world.

Do you have
a better idea?

How do you expect
to restrain him long enough?

I'm gonna make him
see the light.

[ People Chattering ]

[ Groaning ]

Our good news is
we found the stronghold.

What's the bad news?

Oh. I see.

[ Jason ]
The sun will be setting soon.
Hercules will be expecting us.

Well, let's just hope
he found a way
to stop Iolaus.

It's checkout time.
[ Groaning ]

I'm sorry, Morrigan.
My mind must be
playing tricks on you.

Why are you doing this?
Ah, Jason.

When you found
the golden fleece...

I was so grateful
to share that experience
with you.

And now I've found
something myself.

Call it--
[ Gasps ]
the truth.

And I so want you
to be part of that
with me.

Come here.

Let me tell you
something...

whoever you are.

If there's one thing
I've learned,

it's that anyone who says
they know everything...

doesn't know
a damn thing at all!

I admire your conviction,

and I hope it will be
of use to you for
the rest of your life here.

And don't worry, Morrigan.
I haven't forgotten
about you.

Well, lookee here.

I knew
you'd betray us.

Why don't you take a shot
at me when my back's
not turned?

I wouldn't want to
embarrass you twice.

Move!
You coward!

Mnemosyne said the stone
would harness a light
that'll weaken Dahak.

For how long?
Until the light fades.
Sunset.

A day may not be
enough time.

Dahak has spent an eternity
trying to enter our world.

He won't release your friend
without a fight.

He tried to use you
like he's using Iolaus,
didn't he?

Imagine your every
primal desire...

rewarded with a surge
of bliss.

Independent of any and all
moral consideration.

That is the voice
of Dahak.

I was prepared
to give my life...

so the rest of the world
could hear it too.

What stopped you?

To this day,
I still do not know.

If Dahak is the name
for the impulse to destroy,

there must be a name
for the impulse to create.

Maybe it gave you
the strength to fight
Dahak that day.

Perhaps.

But my family
paid the price.

Dahak took their lives
and cursed me
with immortality...

so that I would never forget
what I had done.

I'm sorry.

You're hoping that,
by defeating Dahak,

your immortality
will end.

I'm hoping that
my family will forgive me,

wherever they are.

We will succeed,
Zarathustra.

I promise.

Which way?

Your guess is
as good as mine.

What if the stone
is no longer here?

Mnemosyne seemed
pretty sure
that it would be.

Whoa.

Bingo.

Guards! Guards!
Come quickly!

Look what he's done!
We tried to stop him!

[ Guards Chuckling ]
[ Guard ]
Well, well.

Looks like it's time
we make room
for our next guest.

Cut him down.

Hi, there.
Huh?

Sleep well, boys.

Sorry to take the clothes
off your backs, fellas.

Free at last!

[ Hercules ]
Who makes these things?

Be right back.

Whoa!

It's a long way down.

[ Shouts ]

That's one giant leap
for mankind.

Can't be this easy.

I hate it
when I'm right.

[ Shouting ]

Hercules!

[ Hercules ]
This isn't good.

Throw me your staff!

[ Shouting ]

Here! Grab it!

I got you.

Here.
Just grab my hand!

- Thank you.
- Oh, don't thank me.

You've got a very
competent staff.

I, uh-- I think
we should go.

]
Now is your chance
to be like the gods.
dddd [ Continues

I'm gonna show you a world...

where the only crime...

is to not do
whatever you want to do.

"Do what thy will"
shall be the whole
of the law.

And all I ask
is that you take...

my message of freedom
into your hearts.

- Do you accept me?
- [ All Affirming ]

- Do you accept me?

Jason, any news?
Yeah, we found
the stronghold,

but Morrigan and Nebula
are still inside.

We must hurry.
Sunrise approaches.
Who's he?

Uh, I'll explain
on the way.

dd Ooh dd

dd Ooh-ooh dd

My friends,

I'm asking for
your help right now.

I'm beggin'.

'Cause you see,

there's one among us...

who will not accept
our gift of freedom.

But I think
that with your help,

we may be able
to persuade her.

[ Clamoring ]

[ Morrigan ]
Get your hands
off me.

Whatever you've got to say,
save your breath.

I wouldn't spit in your mouth
if your tongue were on fire.

Oh, I think
you'll be surprised
what you'll do...

to spare your daughter
the pain of growing up
an orphan.

At least she'll know
her ma didn't bow down
to the likes of you.

Between us,
I'm glad you refused.

When Hercules sees
your dead body,

he might just
hate me enough
to kill me.

Mmm.
Let me take her out.

Please.

Try not to miss.
I won't.

[ Snarls ]

Hi, Dahak.
Now it's your turn
to pray.

Deception is the will
and the way of darkness.

The power of Greece
is upon you!

[ People Gasping ]
[ Demonic Language ]

[ All Clamoring ]

dd Glory, glory

This way.

dddd [ Indistinct ]

You betrayed me!
Now we're even!

Not quite.

dddd [ Continues, Indistinct ]

Hercules! The sun!

Dahak.

Are you all right?
Oh, yeah.
Feel like singin'.

You know,
for a minute there,
you had me goin'.

Nice performance.
Thanks.
I got a method.

Gotta go!

[ Yelling ]

[ Laughing ]

Hey, if you don't kill me now,

I'll take the whole world
soul by soul.

Oh, lighten up.

[ Groaning ]

[ Snarling ]

Can I breathe now?

That's a handy rock
you got there.

It won't last.
By sunset,
he'll be free again.

The demon must be
driven out.

[ Raspy Chuckling ]

[ Hercules ]
Then what are we
waiting for?

Let the exorcism begin.
