All language subtitles for Hercules S03E12 Surprise.DVDRip.NonHI.cc.en.UNVSL

Poor Callisto. Such
rage unfulfilled.

- Who are you?
- A fan.

Your crusade against
Xena was so vibrant.

Too bad it had
to end unsatisfied.

Look at you.

Hera? Afraid to
show your ugly face?

Your irreverence endears
you to me, like a pet.

What do you want?
To see you smile again.

I offer you another chance to
carry on your mission against Xena.

- I'm listening.
- I'll give you one more
day of life...

and a chance at immortality.

But if you fail, you're
back here forever.

What do I have to do?
Kill my bastard stepson,

the man who redeemed
your mortal enemy.

Hercules?

Nothing like the first
day of spring, is there?

Ah, what a beautiful day.

Sun shining, nature blooming...

Nature blooming.

Come on, Hercules.
Cheer up. It's your birthday!

Don't remind me.

What is your problem? You
look great... for a man of your age.

What are you talking
about? You're older than I am.

Yeah, I know. But
I'm smaller, you see,

so not as much surface
area exposed to the elements.

Hercules! Iolaus!

Uh, let me be the first to extend my
best wishes on this, your special day.

Well, thanks, Falafel. I made
a delicious cake for the party.

- You like chocolate, yes?
- I love chocolate. What party?

Uh, the other great
big party. Falafel...

Iolaus? What's the matter?

Iolaus, you don't look so good.

Yeah... It was supposed
to be a surprise.

Oh, no.

Oh, my sincerest
apologies. I didn't know.

That's okay. Neither did I.

Yes, well. If you'll excuse me,

I must go stuff a chicken.

Bye.

Aw, come on, Herc. What's one
more birthday in a long line of birthdays?

You're very funny today.

Listen, Alcmene
wanted to have a little

celebration. I think
it'd be great, you know?

Um... It'd cheer you up.

Look, I don't mean
to sound ungrateful,

but ever since Hera destroyed
my family, I'm just not too excited...

about celebrating
birthdays anymore.

Yeah, well, I understand,

but you know, you have to realize there
are other people around who care for you,

wanna celebrate with you...
Iphicles, your mother, me.

Huh? Okay.

There you go! See? Smiling. Little
lines crinkle up round your eyes.

Yeah, I better go.
Yeah, you better.

Oh, oh, so remember...
Alcmene's at noon.

And, uh, try to act
surprised, okay?

I'll act surprised.

Wrinkles.

You know, Hercules isn't
the easiest person to shop for.

Yeah. You know, he gave away
the present I got for him last year.

Oh, yeah. Thank you.

Do you think he'll be
surprised? Oh, I'm sure he will.

Yeah, well, I certainly
haven't told anybody.

I'll get the food.

I hope he likes his presents.

Hey, don't worry about it,
Mom. You've done a great job.

Everything looks
beautiful, darling.

Excuse me.

I-I'm sorry to intrude, but I couldn't
find a guard to announce me.

We're having a celebration. We sent
them home for the day. Who are you?

I've come to pay my respects.

Last year, my
family was attacked...

on the road to Macedonia.

My husband was killed.

My child and I, we would have surely
died if Hercules hadn't come along.

Wait. Where'd you say this was?

I'd heard it was his birthday. I
just wanted to leave a small gift.

You poor dear.

Come. Join us.

Oh, no. I wouldn't
dream of imposing.

Oh, please. You make
yourself right at home.

Now would you care for a drink?

Yes, thanks. Try one of these.

Oh, they look great.
Thank you, my friend.

You've outdone
yourself, Falafel. Mmm.

Make you in charge
of all royal feasts.

More punch, anyone?

Uh, hello? Is anybody here?

"Act surprised."

Surprise.

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.

Hail!

Mother! Mother! Can you hear me?

My, my. Looks like
somebody spiked the punch.

Glad I don't drink.

You've never witnessed the effects
of Xanthalian venom before, have you?

It affects the mind...

Makes the victims susceptible
to their wildest imaginings.

By sunset, your friends
will be, um, driven mad.

Well, that's if they
don't kill each other first.

There is an antidote,
but it's very rare.

What do you want?

Safe passage through the Labyrinths
of the Gods to the Tree of Life.

One bite of the fruit
cures any illness...

or madness.

And a whole one
makes you immortal.

We have so much to celebrate...

Your birth and my rebirth.

Oh. My name's Callisto.

Callisto?

Impossible. Callisto's dead.

Hera was kind enough to
grant me one day's reprieve.

You see, we need
each other, Hercules.

I don't have the strength to
defeat the labyrinths' traps,

and... you won't find
your way without me.

Nice pants.

You're insane.

Just misunderstood.

Shall we go, partner?

After so little time together,
it's funny... I feel like I know you.

You don't.

The Fates brought us together.
Although I have to admit,

you're not at all how
I imagined you to be.

How disappointing.
Oh, not at all.

On the contrary, I
couldn't be more pleased.

That look back in your castle?

The fire and the hate?

I wonder, did you wear that same look
when you watched your children die?

Don't push me. Oh, but
that's the beauty of it... I can.

There's a new and exciting side of you
just waiting to come out. I can feel it.

Oh, what a party.

Iolaus! What happened?

I don't know. Maybe
it was the food.

Hmm? Mmm.

Oh... Oh, I heard that!

Jason?

Oh. Are you all right?

Yes.

Look.

What's goin' on here?

We've been drugged.
Everybody all right?

Where's Hercules? Uh, it
looks like he's been here.

Oh, yeah? Opened his presents
while we slept? I don't think so.

Who could've done this?
That woman! Where is she?

Something terrible has
happened! I just know it!

Let's not jump to
any conclusions.

We'll search the castle.

I'll go with Mother. Mm-hmm.

Iolaus and I will take
the west wing. Yeah.

Eh... What about me?

You stay here in case
Hercules gets back.

- By myself?
- If anything happens... yell.

Yell?

Wonderful!

Big help!

Worms? Ugh.

Oh!

Wha-a-a... Oh... ♪
La-la, la-la-la ♪♪

Cut it out!

Oh, now, now, Hercules.

Just because I poisoned
your friends doesn't

mean we can't be
nice to one another.

Amazing.

You have no reason to
be angry at me, Hercules.

After all, I'm not the one that hung
the giant bull's-eye on your family.

- You leave my family
out of this.
- Oh, but think about it.

I mean, well, if your
children weren't your children,

well, then they'd still be
alive now, wouldn't they?

Your love... it's a curse.

Then what's the
alternative? Be like you...

Alone, trapped in your hate?

No. I'd rather take my chances.

Tell me, Hercules. Late at
night, in the dark all alone,

do you, uh... do you hear
your children screaming?

Do you lie awake at night, wondering if
there was something else you could've done?

Maybe if you had gotten
there a little sooner,

been a little bit more
respectful to Hera?

Drop it! I wouldn't expect
someone like you to understand.

Oh, but I do understand.

My family was slaughtered
like helpless animals as well!

You didn't learn much from it. I learned
to get exactly what I want when I want it!

And you realize, Hercules, the
only reason your friends are still alive,

is because I have allowed it!

And I suppose I owe you thanks?

Oh, no.

You owe me all.

This is my fault.

I should never have
let that stranger in.

Hercules is a big boy. He
can take care of himself.

I know you're right. I just so wanted
this to be a special day for him.

Oh-Oh, I'll bet you did. After all,
he's Corinth's most famous son.

You know what? Maybe I'll
declare a holiday in his name.

That make you feel better?
Why are you talking like this?

Because he has brought
nothing but trouble to my kingdom.

Well, how can you say that?

He's your brother.

Oh, yeah. We're
one big happy family!

Tell me something, Mother.

Who ensures your safety
every single day? Hmm?

And where's Hercules
through all this?

He graces us with his presence
when he's not too busy saving the world.

Oh, please, Iphicles.

Y-You're-You're not yourself.

Wrong! I'm just not
who you want me to be!

You think Hercules should've been
king. Well, there can only be one king!

And nobody but nobody
is gonna change that!

Not even you.

I'm surrounded by infidels!

Mother.

It's going to be all right.

Oh, it's beautiful.

Well, an open door is
like a friendly invitation.

Y-You were saying?

All who seek passage must first
answer my riddle. Fail, and you will die.

Care to be first?

Give a name to this earthly conceit. It
is unchangeable, but it can change you.

It can teach you or trap you.

All who reside there are immortal,
but you can never go there.

I hope you're as smart
as you are strong!

The answer lies
before your eyes.

Choose your words before
the sands run their course.

It's unchangeable. "All who
reside in it are immortal."

It's Mount Olympus!

It's not a place.
That's the trick.

I don't see you coming up with anything.
If you'd be quiet, maybe I could think.

Well, I won't be holding
my breath for that now, will I?

Oh, we're running out of time!

Maybe that's it.

Oh, yes, of course. It's time!

Well, that didn't work.
Any more brilliant ideas?

Well, answer!

"The answer lies before your
eyes." Time is running out.

The past!

Huh. After you.

Hercules?

I've come to say
good-bye. Good-bye?

I've crossed over
to the other side.

It's all my fault.

I should've protected you.
It's too late for that now.

No! This... This can't be.

I never wanted to be a hero, Mother,
but you didn't give me any choice.

There was no other way
for this to end. Please...

Please forgive me.
Perhaps, in time.

Good-bye. Wait!

Let me come with you, please.

I was hoping you'd say that.

Ah. There's an oil pouch.
We'll use it to keep the lamp lit.

Mmm. Poor baby.
Afraid of the dark?

You don't look like
you're doing too well.

Oh, don't you worry your
pretty little head about me.

I'll be as good as
new soon enough.

In the meantime, a little
water should do the trick.

Here.

Hmm. Mmm. Ahh.

Such a gentleman.

Yeah. The world
doesn't deserve you.

It doesn't deserve you either.

We're not as different
as you'd like to think.

Oh, really?

We both believe the
wicked should be punished,

only I see something you don't.

Yeah. I'm sure you'll let me
know what it is, won't you?

All people are wicked,

and they deserve
everything they're gonna get.

I've known too much good
in the world to believe that.

Good?

Is that supposed to
be some kind of joke?

If mortals were good, well, then we
wouldn't need you around, would we?

You've seen the
darkest side of people.

A child who watched her
parents die has my compassion.

But you had a
choice. You chose evil.

And that's where
my compassion ends.

Your faith in the
world is touching.

Let's see how well it holds
up at the end of the day.

Shall we?

Anything? No, not a sign of him.

Now what?

Oh, it's hotter than
Tartarus in here.

You know, I-I got a bad
feeling about this. Let's go back.

Wait. Wait. Wait.
Wh-What's wrong?

You ever get a feeling that
your... your life is just ebbing away?

You're kinda getting
out of step with things,

and, I don't know, there's
nothin' you can do about it?

Did you hear that?

What?

I don't hear anything.
What? Shh, shh!

There it is again.

I can't hear anything.

I'll be right back.

Jason?

Ja... Jason, wait.

Jason! Where are you?

Ah-Ah!

Mmm.

Oh!

♪♪

Ah, King Iphicles! Just in time.

Uh, would you be so kind as
to hand me that bowl of turnips?

What are you talkin'
about? There's nothin' there!

Are you blind?

I'll get it myself.

So little time, so much to cook!

Hot stuff. Watch the tongue.

I'm warning you! Be honest.
You won't hurt my feelings.

I want everything to be
perfect when Hercules arrives.

It's his birthday,
you know. A surprise.

- Not a word to anyone.
- Traitor!

What did you do that for?

Huh!

King Iphicles?

He didn't like my stew.

You're not living up
to my expectations.

I imagined you'd spend the
day trying to convince me...

that I can change
like our beloved Xena.

Xena changed
because she wanted to.

Did she now?

You know she watched me die.

It's ironic, you know.

I mean, not long ago, you would've
joined me in bringing her down.

Wrong. Our definitions
of justice aren't the same.

Oh, true. That's very true.

I believe she deserves to die
a very slow and painful death.

Vengeance isn't justice. If you
understood that, maybe you'd find peace.

Peace?

Peace?

I dreamed of
peace. I imagined it.

Let me die so I can find it.

Tartarus should've
been a welcome change.

Instead, I learned the
true meaning of torture...

Trapped in my hatred
with nothing to do.

Lady, immortality won't
solve your problem.

Jason, where'd you go?

Jason?

Jason.

Jason! Jason!

Hello.

We've been waiting
for you, Iolaus.

You can't resist our charms.

And we can't resist yours.

Please, don't leave us waiting.

Iolaus.

Don't tell me. We're lost.

I can't seem to...

Left or right... There's
just so many details.

I knew I should've written
it down. I think... Great.

Hmm. No, no, no. It's left.

Hercules!

I guess it was right.

Looks like I'm in a real bind.

Callisto!

I'm right here!

- Callisto! Keep talking!
- That's what I'm trying to do!

I'm over here!

Hercules, hurry!

Your friends!

If I die, they die!

They die!

Hercules! Hercules!

Hercules! Hurry!

Callisto, hold on!

Grab on!

Oh, my hero.

Yeah, right.

Come on, Iolaus.

Come with us.

Come this way, Iolaus.

Mmm.

Catch me if you can.

Hey!

Jason.

Oh, come on, baby. Just
one more for old times' sake?

You're... You're me?

Oh! No!

Come here, handsome.

Let me take a look at that
pretty young face of mine.

What's going on?

Jason!

Jason!

Where are you?

I think the first thing I'm gonna
do is find the good Xena...

and rip out her tongue, just
to hear her whistle an apology!

I hate to spoil your fantasy,
but you're not out of here yet.

Oh, but neither are you.

When we make it to the Tree of Life,
and when I save my family and friends,

you are going back
to where you belong.

I'll see to that myself. Enough!

No rooms can hold me.
Haven't you figured that out yet?

You're the only one that can stop
me, and to do that, you'd have to kill me.

But you can't. Your misguided
sense of justice won't allow it.

You're overlooking
something. Oh, am I?

You've already been killed.

The only reason you're still
standing is because I need directions.

I've underestimated you.

I'm flattered.

Fortunately, you've
overlooked something as well.

I don't think so.

If I go back to the underworld,
I won't be suffering alone.

I'll find your children.

Klonus, Aeson
and little Ilea, is it?

And I'll dedicate eternity
to making them suffer.

I mean, after all, I
got here, didn't I?

I can get to them.

That's it. That's the spirit.

Kill me. I dare you.

Who's trapped in
their hatred now?

Thought you could
sneak up on me, did ya?

I'm going to kill you.

I'm gonna kill you!

Aah!

We're almost at the
other side, Mother.

But Jason and Iphicles...

They'll be joining us soon.

Then we'll all be
together again.

Yes.

Don't tell me you're
confused again.

Oh, no, I'm... I'm quite
certain it's this way.

Oh, um, I lied.

Lovely detail.

Hephaestus is
quite the craftsman.

Hera! Hercules
delivered, as promised.

I fulfilled my end of the
bargain. It's your turn.

It's not over yet!

Hercules.

I have enjoyed our
little time together.

But you know, I think
I can take it from here.

Oh, are we having fun yet?

Oh, look at the bright side.

You'll be reunited with
your friends soon enough.

Oh, and this...

This is for Xena.

Good-bye, Hercules.

Mmm. Hmm.

Delicious. -

Oh, you're gonna
die on your birthday.

How convenient.

No!

Blow it out and make a wish.

It's a pity we couldn't
work out our differences.

We would've made
an unstoppable team.

I already have a partner. -

Not for long.

Why can't you just
die like a good boy?

I guess I don't
know when to quit.

Well, let me inspire you. Even if
you could find your way without me,

you won't make it in
time to save your friends.

That's where you're wrong.
I know something you don't.

Oh?

We're out of oil.

That leads right
back to the entrance.

Surprise!

Oh, don't... don't leave!
Please, don't leave! I can't see!

Here. Give me your hand!

Huh!

No.

No!

No!

Must find meat.

Aaahh.

Falafel!

Come on! Give me
a hand! Get this off!

Here, piggy, piggy, piggy!

Falafel, what are you doing?

My turn.

This is it, Mother.
Right up here.

Jason!

Don't.

Hercules?

- Hercules?
- Don't talk with
your mouth full.

You'll thank me later.

Give me that. Here.

Have you seen my mother?
No, we haven't seen her.

All right. Give them
each a bite. Why?

Trust me.

One more step, and
we'll be together forever.

I'm coming, Hercules.

I love you.

I love you too, Mother.

What kind of trick is this?
He... He looks like you.

Mother, I... I'm right here.

No. My son is dead.

I'm not.

Oh, Mother.

Hercules?

Does this mean I'm not
going to the underworld?

U... No. Not yet.

Uh, here. I... I... brought
something for you.

Oh! For me? Yeah.

Oh, you shouldn't have.

Oh, Hercules. Now
where have you been?

I've been worried sick.

Mother, it has been
a very, very long day.

I'll tell you about it later. Let's go
find the others, okay? Mm-hmm.

Hey-Hey! I'm sorry you
missed your birthday.

Uh, the day's not over
yet. We still have cake.

Yeah, and you gotta open all
your presents. Oh, that reminds me.

There was a... a woman
here earlier. Poor thing.

Uh, she wanted
to leave you a gift.

Well, she did. She made me
appreciate my family more than ever.
