"[Horn blares] [Music]" "[Microphone feedback] We are gathered here this day to honor a hero with a special Bellenus Medal of Honor for Valiant Efforts in Regards to Helping Citizens of Bellenus." "Ooh. [Chuckles] I might be getting an award today." " I didn't realize." " But as we will learn, a hero may not be handsome, couth, or even endowed with basic intelligence." "Luckily, our hero is all of these things." "On this day, we commend Eros Bellenus!" "[Cheers and applause]" "[Microphone feedback] You know, I almost didn't make it here today." "But with my father ailing, I have been called to duty ... called to the throne." "[Cheers and applause]" "But a king must have a wife, thus my first order of business will be to acquire the legendary Ring of Aventia." "[Cheers and applause]" " [Gasps] He has a knife!" " Oh." "Were you, uh, looking for this?" "[Thwack, thud]" "Don't worry, everybody." "I-I've got the ..." "[Knife clinks]" "[Title music]" "♪ Here comes Apollo Gauntlet ♪ 1x02 - "Eros"" "[Dance music playing]" "[Slurps]" "[Slurps too] Oh, D-Daphne, uh, how are you, uh ..." "How's it going?" "Didn't know you were gonna be here tonight." "I was going to say, just for the record," "I think you should have received a medal today, as well." "M-Medals shmedals." "I-I mean, I don't do this for the accolades." "[Eros laughs]" "Oh, you're terrible." "[Slurps]" "The king thought it would undermine the value of the award if one were given to a... vigilante." "Wait, the king called me a vigilante?" "Oh, my God." "This ..." "This is the greatest day of my life." "I mean, you know, being a hero's fine, don't get me wrong, but "vigilante"?" "Yeah." "Only thing is, as a vigilante..." "[Raspy voice] You g..." "You got to talk like this." "I'm gonna clean up these streets." "You got to talk like Nick Nolte." "[Normal voice] D-Do you think those guys that get community service talk like that?" "You know, he's ..." "The guy's got the orange jumpsuit on, the pokey stick, and he's like..." "[Raspy voice] I'm gonna clean up these streets." "It is court-mandated, but, you know, that's beside the point." "[Laughs]" " Um, can I ask you a big favor?" " Yes'm?" "Can you keep an eye on Prince Orenthal tonight?" "I'm just concerned." "Orenthal's really upset about Eros returning to claim the throne." "[Chuckles] And he can be moody." "Okay, y-yeah." "I'll do it." "That ..." "That's fine." "Thanks, Apollo." "[Slurping]" "[Insects chirping, music stops]" "[Rooster crows]" "[Music]" ""Frampton Comes Alive!"" "What the hell happened last night?" "Well, I told you not to do anything I wouldn't do." " And?" " You did." "[Thunder crashes]" "[Door clanks]" " Where's Prince Orenthal?" " Hmm." "Uh..." "H-Hey, hey, Todd, uh, where's Prince Orenthal?" "Apologies, but, uh, he drank us all under the table, your eminence." "Apollo, he didn't come home last night." "What's the last thing you remember?" "[Harp strums]" "[Slurring] It's not too late." "If I do something heroic, something amazing," " I could still be king." " Yes, king." "You." "Yes." "The ring!" "I'll find the Ring of Aventia!" "Ring." "Find." "Yes, find it." "Yes." "I g..." "I guess he went looking for the ..." " the Ring of Aventia." " [Gasps] What?" "The ring." "Eros:" "Here we are ... the deadly Caves of Chronos." "[Crow caws]" "[Gasps] This is Prince Orenthal's." "He is here." "Orenthal wears a necklace with a mirror on it?" "He's had it since he was a baby." "[Stifled laugh]" "Whatever you do, don't laugh." "Uh, this would be the worst possible time to think about..." "Vanity Smurf. [Chuckles]" "[Cries]" "Don't worry, Apollo." "We'll find him." "[Muffled] I know." "I just ..." "I just feel so guilty, you know?" "Stop fiddling around." "We've got to find him." "It's a maze." "Keep your hand on the right wall, and we won't get lost." "Uh, yeah, everyone knows that, doy." "[Music]" "[Water dripping]" "[Screech in distance] Huh?" "[Monkeys screeching]" "[Speaks indistinctly]" "[Grunting]" "[Screams]" "[Grunting]" "[Laser zapping]" "Eros:" "Get off me!" "Apollo:" "Oh, no." "They're all so small, but in unison, they're able to lift me." "I always knew this was how I'd go." "[Grunting]" "[Screams]" "Light!" "..." "Hit them with light!" "Do you want light?" "Here comes some light." "Right here." "[Bang]" "[Rock crumbling]" "[Screams]" "[Music]" "[Heavy thud]" "[Groans] I haven't had a landing that hard since Air Koryo." "Wait, Daphne ..." "Uh, careful." "I think I know what this is." "[Bowling pin rolls, arrows fly]" "[Fire hisses]" "How are we gonna get through all of that?" "Well, I-I should be able to synchronize my movements to a routine I learned in hip-hop dance class." "Excuse me?" "You're gonna provide the music though, right?" " Wait, what are we doing?" " Kick it." "[Rapping] # Watch me whip my way #" "♪ As I'm dodging through the traps ♪" "♪ 'Cause there ain't no competition ♪" "♪ When traps meets raps ♪" "♪ I'm ducking and dancing ♪" "♪ Oops, almost caught a lance in my guts, ay ♪" "♪ Which would have disemboweled me ♪" "♪ But here I am, and I'm almost through ♪" "♪ Trying not to get killed is what I like to do ♪" "♪ And when I make it, shit ♪" "♪ Ain't even thinking, shit ♪" "♪ Everyone take a moment just to please appreciated... ♪" "[Rocks clatter]" "Look ..." "Orenthal didn't come through here." " Of course he didn't." " What do you mean?" "He didn't even make it out of the maze." "I saw one of his gloves down another path. [Chuckles]" "Desperate men begin to place markers when they realize they're hopelessly lost." "Yeah, we got a 51-50 here." "[Over radio] That's a big 10-4." "So your obsession with this ring is more important" " than your brother's life?" " Oh, it's much bigger than that." "This is about restoring the Bellenus family name to its glory." "You really want to fall on the right side of this, Daphne." " Are you threatening me?" " Quite the opposite." "I'm saying you could still be quee..." "All right, I-I think that's enough, Francis Dolarhyde." "Let's ..." "let's calm down for a second, here," " and think this through, okay?" " Hmm." "I think... not!" " [Laser zaps] Aah!" " Ugh." "Leave a message, and I'll call you back." "You shall see, Daphne!" "The magic of the ring will be our conduit!" "[Gasps] The ring!" "[Twinkle] [Laughs]" "Oh, no." "He's gone insane." "I got to stop him." "[Auto-tuned] # Make these gauntlets powerful #" "[Warble]" "[Groaning]" "[Laser zapping]" "[Warble] [Screams]" "[Splat]" "Oof." "I'm guessing this'll be a closed-casket-type situation." "But... [Roars] Whoa!" "Jesus." "[Moans] [Music]" "[Warble] [Thwack]" "[Screams]" "[Water dripping]" "[Thwack] [Roars]" "[Twinkle] [Splat]" "[Footsteps]" "Apollo!" "You defeated the protector of the ring!" " And look ... the Ring of Aventia." " Take it." "Anyway, we better find Orenthal." "[Music]" "[Sobs, sniffles]" "I've made a terrible mistake." "Oh, Daphne!" "I thought for once I could be the people's hero." "Eros will have such a laugh at this one." "He'll simply explode." "King Bellenus:" "With sad heart," "I must announce the passing of my son Eros." "Rumors abound about how his demise came to pass, but I believe that [sobs] he was killed while attempting to save the life of his brother, Orenthal, who somehow came out of the mishap [angrily] completely unscathed!" "I'll kill you." "I'll kill you!" "I'll kill you!" "Aah!" "[Grunts]" " Unhand me!" "Treason!" " Ooh." "So much for restoring the Bellenus family name..." "to its former glory."
