"This is the story of a time long ago." "A time of myth and legend, when the earth was still young." "The ancient gods were petty and cruel, and they played mankind for their sport." "Aaaagh!" "Plaguing them with suffering, besieging them with terrors." "For centuries, the people had nowhere to turn, no one to look to for help." "Until... he arrived." "He was man like no other." "Born of a beautiful mortal woman, but fathered by Zeus, king of the gods." "Hercules possessed strength the world had never seen, a strength surpassed only by the power of his heart." "But everywhere he went he was tormented by his stepmother," "Hera, the all-powerful queen of the gods." "Hera's eternal obsession was to destroy Hercules, for he was the constant living reminder of Zeus' infidelity." "No matter the obstacle, as long as there were people crying for help, there was one man who would never rest:" "Hercules." "87, 88, 89, 90." "Hey, do you think we're going the right way." "Shush, I'm counting." "93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100." "15 paces to the north." "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10." "11, 12, 13, 14, 15." "Nothing." "We did go the wrong way, you were had." "Hah, see, Danian." "And you said I was stupid trading for this map." "Come on!" "Wow!" "Just think, the great God, Zeus was once here." "This very place." "His address is going to be ours now." "We're going to be rich." "Rich as the gods, here give me that." " This is it!" " It's really true." "It's unbelievable." "Come on!" "This treasure is practically ours." "Wait a minute." "Hold on." "Come here!" "No, hold on." "What?" "We're almost there." "If you we're going to build a door to keep people out." "Where would you put the locks?" "What do you mean?" "I think this door was made to keep something in." "Aghhh!" "Let go!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "What's going on here?" "I told you two before." "No fighting." " But you fight, Dad." " Yeah, all the time." "But that's different, I only fight when I have to, and" "I do it keep people from getting hurt." " Do you understand?" " Yeah." "Okay." "It's like this." "Remember when Eryx the boxer came to town." "He'd beaten up a lot of men." "He was ready to beat up on some more." " Who's next?" " Not I, sir." "What about you?" "Or you?" "Huh?" "What about you?" " What about me?" " It's about time." "It was me you wanted, you didn't have to kill al these innocent men." "I had to find some way to amuse myself." "You had look like the strongest man in the world." " Sorry to let you down." " It doesn't matter." "Your days are over!" "Then let's stop talking and start fighting." "Son, you should have seen that last one coming!" "Put your left up and jab!" "Jab!" "Come on!" " That your boy?" " No, no, I'm just a spectator." "Come on!" "Pump one, left!" "Oh, now he's got him." "Now he's got him!" " Ooh!" " He won't keep his left up." " Enough games, Hercules." " I agree." "Let's finish this." "Ohh, watch." "Watch, watch." " You a fighter?" " Me a fighter?" "No, I just" "I just fight with the devil sometimes!" "Right." "Right!" "Oh, he's going better, eh?" "Yes!" "So now you know what I mean, don't you?" "Yeah." "You only fight when you have to." "And never with your own brother," "Now, shake hands." "That's better." "Come on, you two!" "Ha ha ha!" "Alright." "Where are you?" "Father, where are you?" "Son, right here." "Oh, I've just come back from the two most wonderful weeks of my life." "When was the the last time you had some fun?" "Oh, it's been a long time." "Ah, no-one's come for my help for sometime." "I guess all the monsters and giants are gone, I've beat them all up." "Yeah, yeah." "Son, do you miss it?" " Honestly." " Honestly?" "Yeah, I do!" "I miss it a lot." "You know, I promise Deianeira, I'd be here to raise the kids with her." "Absolutely." "I love kids, I love Deianeira, I mean everything is perfect." "I've setted down." "I'm a thousand years older, and I'm not settled down." "Hey, why don't you come and say hello to the children?" "No, no." "I have an appointment." "Is that appointment, blonde?" "Oh, by the way." "I picked this up on the beach at Salonia." "That's a scale from a seaserpent." "Yes, just to keep time." "Then the shores of Salona won't be as far off as you think." "It's beautiful." "Why..." "It's my protector, Hercules." "Some protector." "This way." "Hold on." "I'll come back for you." "Hercules, there's something in here!" "No!" "Did you kill it?" "Did you kill it?" "Is it dead?" "Is it dead?" "It's dead!" "We've got to get outta here!" "Give me your hand." "Hercules." "Hercules, Hercules." "Hercules, um, are you going to want to eat his food later?" "Hey!" "Get out of here!" "Sometimes, I think you've been hit on the head one too many times." "Daddy's got hit on the head too many times." "You think so, huh?" "Eat." "Ah, getting heavy." "Alright, you guys, get in bed now." "Tell us a story, Dad." "Yeah, tell us a story." "Yeah." "A story." "A story, I don't know any stories." "Yeah, you do!" "I do?" "I want the one about the great lion." "That's a good one." "What about the time you fought the two headed giant?" "That's scary." "I want the story where you first met Mummy." "Alright, but first, imagine what it would be like if one day we had no fire none at all, it's just gone," "because that's what was happening in your Mum's town." "Hercules, just let us come on." "Our fires have died, yours are still going, just let us in." "I said no, so be gone." "Get away from here, all fo you." "But these people are desperate." "You have to let us have some of your fire." "We don't have to do anything of the kind." "All right, look." "Just let me light this, and I'll restart their fires." "I can't help you." "This fire is for the Great Goddess Hera." "Some Great Goddess!" "She's not lifting a finger to help." "None of your damn gods do!" "You can't come in." "All right... what if I pay?" "Exactly what have you got in mind?" "I'm thinking, uh... a hundred dinars." " Fifty dinars." " Fifty dinars?" " All right, fine, 50 dinars." " No, w-wait." "I said" " You said 50 dinars." " I-I did, but I wasn't agreeing to 50 dinars." " Okay, fine, then 30 dinars." " I didn't say 30, I said 50." "Do you think of yourself as an intelligent man?" "Well, I like to think so, yeah." "Well, then you would think that 20 dinars would be a good deal." " No, wait, wait." " Fine, 20 dinars it is." "You drive a hard bargain." "You can keep your money." "These fools don't deserve a single dinar." "I'll get the fire you need." "Excuse me?" "I thought I was doing a pretty good job here." "What do you propose to do?" "Hera's vermin keep warm while everyone else is cold." "That's not gonna work." "Stop!" "This is sacrilege!" "I'm gonna light this from you fire." "If that bothers you, then look the other way." "What are you doing?" "You have to talk to these people." "You need to negotiate with them." "Where Hera's scum are concerned, this is negotiating." "I hit them, they hit the floor, deal's done." "Now, if you excuse me, I'll be right back with your fire." "You have defiled the sanctity of Hera's temple." "I don't know who you are, but you're not getting out of here alive." "Then you're right..." "you don't know who I am." "Kill him!" "What are you waiting for?" "You angered the gods." "Oops." "All of you!" "Kill him!" "Here you go." "No trouble at all." "And that was only the beginning of it." "From there your mother and I travelled together." "We went to see Prometheus and..." " Hi!" " Hi!" "I guess all the thrills were too much for them." "I enjoyed it." " Yeah." " Yeah." "Come on, let's go to bed." "Okay." "You miss it, don't you?" "Miss what?" "All the travelling around and fighting beasts." "I saw the way you were telling the kids that story." "It doesn't mean I'm not happy here." "You know that." "I know that." "It's just for some reason I can't thinking about all the journeys I went on and all the things I've fought for." "I guess I get a little lost in it." "Well, you have a lot to get lost in." "You've had so many adventures." "And if your lucky you might have another adventure tonight." " Is that right?" " That's right!" " How are you, Hercules?" " Ha ha ha!" "Iolaus, what are you doing here?" "Oh, you know, I was on my way to Prodraya to get some seed, and I couldn't pass up the chance to dropin on my old pal." "Oh, thank you, I appreciate it." "Well, yeah." "Things look pretty good for you here." "Oh, things are pretty good for me." "I've got some stuff coming up over there and" "I've got some new things planted over here, and it's all turning out pretty green." "How about you?" "How are your crops doing." "Well, not too good." "Oh, I can't get the hang of this manure thing." " Oh!" " It's either too much or not enough." "Yeah, yeah." "I know!" "I can't figure out what to do with manure either." "Do you mash it in." "No, I kinda spread it all around, you know." "Maybe I should mash it in and find it works." "When I do it, I just." "What the hell are we talking about?" "I've no idea." "Oh, let's go up to the house and get something we don't give a damn about." "Maybe I'm not cut out to be a farmer?" "I mean how excited can you get about something coming up from the ground?" "You can't." "Unless it's got a mouth full of fangs and it's trying to bite your face off." "Remember that Hydra?" "Get back, Iolaus!" "Don't, Iolaus." "Don't provoke it." "What are you doing?" " Look out!" " Aaaargh!" "Come on." "Come on, let's get out of here." " This thing stinks." " Yeah." " What the hell was that?" " Ania the day after you marry her." "Hey!" "Iolaus, grab that torch." " But the gods, they'll be angry." " Just get it!" "Iolaus, the torch." "Quick give it to me." "Boy, I tell you what, Hercules, that fight with the Hydra was pretty something, huh?" "You know, I wouldn't trade those times for anything." "Yeah, well, I guess when you got a good friend, you get through a lot." "Well, thanks, you know, I'll always be that friend." "Well, actually, I was talking about me." "I was the friend that got you through a lot." "Okay?" " Iolaus, don't!" " What?" "You know what." "Anything we are apart from each other you show up here thinking you can beat me." "Well, maybe this time I can." "See, that's exactly what I'm talking about." "No, no." "Seriously, listen, I've been talking to this guy from the East." "He taught me all the new fighting techniques." "How a smaller guy can beat a bigger guy." "All you've got to do is be clever." "Oh, that's counts you out." "Yeah... no..." "Okay, you can joke all you want, but your scared." "It's not going to work." "I'm not fighting you." "Ah!" "so, Hercules, a little scared, huh?" "Iolaus, listen to me." "There's no way I'm going to fall for this, okay?" "I'm not going to fight you." "Alright, let's see these new moves." "Okay." "Actually, you have to attack me." "What are you talking about?" "These are defensive moves, you've got to come at me." "Come on." "Didn't touch me." "What do you think?" "Yeah..." "I think you're a dead man." "Whoa!" "I've got a move for anything you do." " Yeah." " Yeah." "Well, what if I do this." "Oh..." "No..." "Well, I hope you learnt some Eastern swimming techniques." "Mummy, what's Daddy doing to Uncle Iolaus?" "I don't know, sweetie." "I was wondering the same thing myself." "Well, we were just, um..." "Hey, what are you doing up so late?" "You should be sleep." "She was sleeping until somebody woke her up." "Oh, well... uh..." "then back to bed we go." "Come on!" "How many times have I told you not to beat up Hercules." " Who me?" " Yes you." "Well, I had a couple of moves I wanted to try." "He's just lucky you arrived when you did that all." "Yeah, we're lucky you showed up when you did too." "What do you mean?" "He's been so distracted lately, it's like he's going stir crazy just being around the house." "Well, I know what that's like." "You know, I would never have thought it was so difficult being a father and a mother." "And would be so proud of you." "I just wish she could see me, you know." "Come here!" "Hercules, Hercules!" "Are you Hercules?" "Ah, no." "I'm a" "I'm Hercules." "Ah, look, you've got to come with me, you're the only one." "Calm down." "What happened?" "They got my brother." "What?" "It was a monster of some kind." "Did you see it?" "Yes, sort of, but it was dark." "What happened to your brother?" "I don't know, it was horrible, then it came after me and I barely to Eltrain and save my brother." "I, uh, I think my place is here I'm afraid I can't help you." "What?" "You've got to." "You're the only one." "I'm sorry, I can't." "I'm sorry." "But you're Hercules." "Why did you tell him no?" "What do you mean." "I've settled down now." "I know, but you're thinking maybe you should go." "I don't know what I am thinking." "Turning him down was really hard on me, part of me was saying go." "Of course it was, because that's who you are." "No, that's who I was." "I've got you and the kids to think about now." "You're never going to be happy that way." "You're Hercules, don't try to change that, not for me, not for the kids." "You'd only be lying to yourself." "So you think I should go?" "The way you've been acting lately, you need to go." "Have I been that bad." "No..." "You've been worse." "You didn't have to come you know." "Well, what was I going to do?" "Stay home and plant another row of cabbages." "Come on." "Besides, somebody's got to be there to bail you out." " Bail me out?" " Huh, huh." "But you?" "Hey, laugh all you want, but you know it's true." "Remember that time we went to Phenia." "Easily not the way you remember it." "Okay, what about the time Harris priest jumped you at Talladon." "You were in a lot of trouble when I arrived." "I wasn't in any trouble until you arrived." "You started it all remember." " Yeah?" " Yeah." "Okay, here's one." "The Sea Snake in Thrace." "You were up to your neck in slime, buddy, until I guess who arrived to save the day." "Alright." "Alright." "I admit it." "You saved the day." "See, I'm always there when you need me." "Hercules." "So where were you the time I had to face Gargon, the giant?" "Please." "Anything you want." "I want Hercules!" "Hercules?" "There's no Hercules here." "What would Hercules be doing in a crummy place like this?" "Then I kill everybody." "I'm Hercules." "What can I do for you?" "You are Hercules?" "I didn't come all this way to kill something as small as you." "Fine by me." "Look, why don't you sit down, have some stew." "First, you." "Then, stew." "Come on, little man." "Be careful." "You know, this really isn't necessary." "Oh, yes, it is." "Look!" "You don't have to do this" "Looks like Hercules has finally met his match." "I beg your pardon, sir." "I don't think so." " What do you know, old man?" " Oh, I know about these things." "Maybe we do have to do this." "Now I kill you!" "Now what a second, Hercules." "Wait, what's all this about him swanning you around." "The last time I heard the story you said you knocked him cold, he didn't touch you." "Oh, well, I guess I forgot about that part." "Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!" "I've had a lot of fights it's hard to remember every details of everyone." "Yeah, I bet it's hard to remember many things." "When you've taken as many punches as you have." "Oh!" "Laugh it off, laugh it off." "The best fighting I've ever seen you do, is fighting to pick yourself up off the ground." "Hey, anyway, I hope what we meet in Altuna is big and stupid enough to want to test our skills." "Somebody help me!" "Come on!" "Help me!" "That's not funny!" "You should have seem the look on your face." "All eager and ready for action." "Yeah, well a bit of action would be nice." "I mean farmings all very well but." "I thought you guys had settled down?" "Well, some guy came asking for help, am I supposed to say "No"?" "No." "I suppose not." "You love to help people." "But ah, you've got a look on your face, healthy," "I haven't seen such spirit in you since we squared off on Mount Ethia, I wasn't so pleased to see it then." "Stop." "Go back." " Get out of way." " Don't you move!" "I told you to go back!" "I'm going in there." "You may be the strongest man in the world." "But remember, I am still..." "the King of the Gods." " Hercules." " Stay back." "Get back to the cave!" "Don't do this." "You are pushing me, boy." "The next one will not be aimed at your feet." "You could really kill me, couldn't you?" "I am trying to save you." "Why can't you understand?" "The lives of all those people." "I care about people." "It so happens..." "I care more about you." "Father." "I love you too." "But I... still have to do this." "So I saved my son's life for about the hundredth time." "Right?" "You know, it's funny!" "Becasue when Hercules tells that story it's always the other way around." "Oh, I'm sure, sure." "Hey, Iolaus, I think I owe you this." "You've got some change coming pal." "Ooh, I'm scared, I'm scared." "You've got kids yourselves." "Yeah, that's with kids, it's funny, isn't it?" "Not when you go to change them and they spray in your face." "Ah, there is nothing greater in creation than kids." "Then they grop up, and they become problems." "You know, I don't remember the ground being so darn hard." "You're getting old." "So many bugs," "Why bugs any way?" "Because birds love to eat them." "I do everything for a reason." "Say, Hades is giving a party tonight and I think we'd have a wonderful time." "Let's go, would you like that?" "No, we have to get up early to make it to Alturia by tomorrow." " Alturia?" " Yeah." "Yeah, there's some kind of monster on the loose there and we're going to kick it's butt." "You know, I wouldn't go to Alturia." " Why not?" " I don't know!" "I was there a couple of months ago, the food was bad." "The food was bad?" "Alturia is the spice capitar of the world." "Yeah, spice eats up your stomach." "We're still going, besides your the one who said I need an adventure." "And this is it." "Well, I have to go to Hades." "He won't likes it if I don't show up, you have a nice time, and you have a nice adventure." "Where are you taking me?" "Away - no-one's going to keep is apart anymore." "Not your father, not my fahter, not anybody." "But you should have told me." "I would have packed something." "Like what?" "Some clothes maybe." "What do we need clothes for?" "Come on, let's stop all this talking." "Oh, look, this looks like a good place." "Come on!" "Grrr!" "Why are you breathing so loud?" "Not me, I thought it was you." "Grr!" "What are you?" "What am I?" "The next ruler of this world." "That's what I am." "Why are you doing this to us?" "Oh, don't worry yourself, soon you will come back reneived without all these questions." "Ready to do exactly as I command." "Oh, it's good." "You know, this town doesn't seem so upset." "You mean for a town that's supposedly plagued by a monster." "Exactly." "Yeah, it doesn't look too upset." "Excuse me, this is Alturia, isn't it?" "Always has been." "Well, we were told there was something terrible happening here." "Like a monster." "Where did you hear that?" "A Man from here, he came to my home" "Saying his brother had been taken by some sort of beast." "His brother, huh." "What does this guy look like?" " Well?" " Well, he's about this tall, all kind of wirey, dark, hair." "You came all this way for nothing." "The one you met is Dannius, his brother Andius, they're the town idiots." "And if your stupid enough to believe in anything they told you, then your idiots too." "Ah, thank you!" "Man!" "Hey, everybody, guess what I just heard." "Dannius says that there's a monster in town." "It didn't seem like he was kidding." "Yeah, he did look kind of crazy though." "Well, I guess that takes care of that." "Yep." "So, what now?" "How about I buy you a drink?" "Ah, well, only if I can buy you one." "Okay." "Well, well, well." "Of all the people in the world, so Hercules is finally here." "Being a hero, son of Zeus, you have no idea what it feels like to be reviled, do you?" "To be spit upon, like I've been, but you will." "At my hand you will learn fear." "You will learn humiliation." "You will learn death." "Oh, so you came." "I knew it was only a matter of time." "What you haven't seen me in over a hundred years and this is your greeting." "Maybe your shy." "Did you forget what you turned me into?" "Did you forget what a vile beast you made me?" "Fitting punishment, I'd say?" "You'd say?" "You'd say?" "And who are you to say?" "You haven't changed, have you?" "Being locked away in this place hasn't taught you anything." "Oh, but it has, I've learnt the power of hate." "I've lived on it." "I've grown stronger on it." "I should have killed you then." "So do it now!" "You can't do it, can you?" "Not then and not now." "I'll leave you down here for another hundred years." "Go ahead, every day in here I get bigger every day I get stronger, can't you see this won't end." "Not until I have what I want." "What do you want?" "To see you suffer, to make you drink as much pain and misery as you poured down my throat." "You can't touch me, and you know it." "Oh, don't be so sure." "Couple of ales please." "You got money?" "Yeah, we got money." "Then you've got ale." "I've never seen you before." "I like that in a man." "You two have names?" "Yeah, I'm Iolaus, this is my friend Hercules." "Oh, another Hercules, huh?" "What do you mean by that?" "Another Hercules?" "Oh, come on!" "We get five of you guys a week in here claiming to be Hercules." "Every idiot with half a brain." "That's what they did to the last one." "You better keep it to yourself." "You're not real big." "I'd hate to see what they do to you." "Well, thanks, for the advice." "Hey!" "Wait a minute!" "This really is Hercules." "So he's got you fooled, huh?" "You must be a bright one." "Oh, no!" "This really is him." "I've been on all sorts of adventures with this guy." "A bunch of them." "Oh, really?" "Like what?" "Well, like there was this time, that a guy came to see us from Gargorecia." "You know this village of his was being attacked by all these savage beasts, no-one knew where they came from." "Where are these beasts?" "I hope we haven't come all this way for nothing." " Be patient." "We'll find them." " Yeah, yeah." "Hey!" "What do you think?" "Some kind of warning?" "Maybe it's just way these beasts have fun." "Over there." "Keep your eyes open, Iolaus." "They're watching us right now." "I can feel it." "Me too." "Well, Iolaus, you wanted an adventure." " Where'd my sword go?" " Who needs a sword?" "Forget it." " Yeah, thanks." " Hold on." " Be careful, Iolaus." " No, be reckless." "Careful dies, reckless kills." "Fantastic, aren't they?" "Ow!" "No, Iolaus." "Stay at my back." "I've heard enough of this crap." "So, we've got another one, huh, another hero in our midst." "Don't say I didn't warn you." "Hey, everyone, guess what?" "This is Hercules." "An honour to meet you, Hercules." "And you are?" "My name is Triconus." "It's nice to meet you." "Yeah." "Do you know what?" "I don't think you're really Hercules." "I think you're a dirty, stinking rotten liar." "If you don't mind, I'll finish my drink in peace." "I really doubt that." "Listen, pal, you got a problem with Hercules, you got a problem with me." "Then I guess you've got a lot of problems." "Why don't you show this guy how they fight in the East?" "Okay." "That was okay." "Herc, watch this." " Iolaus, you alright?" " Yeah, I'm great!" "You and me, we're not over yet." "Yes, we are." "No, I'm going to smash your head until your brains come out." "Really?" "Really." "Do you have any rooms to rent in this place?" "Yeah, we do." "Take two." "This time, Hercules dies." "I don't care if he is real damn Hercules," "I'm gonna show him how we run things in this town." "And I've got his first lession right here." "Hercules is mine!" "Remember that, you can get your fun by kicking the crap out of that runt friend of his" " Aghh!" " Aghh!" "Who's there?" "By the gods, he's massacred them." "We've got to do something, what are we going to do?" "No, look, I didn't have anything to do with this." "Why did Hercules kill them?" "Why did you do it, Hercules?" "I didn't kill them." "You're going to pay for this." "Pay with your life." "I told you, I didn't do this." "Then who did, huh?" "I've no idea." "Well, we do!" "Give him justice." "What's going on?" "Iolaus, wake up now!" "Eh, what, can't we talk about it some more." "No, We've got trouble." "Good trouble?" "Bad trouble." "Little trouble?" "Big trouble." "What the hells going on?" "I've no idea, but I'm not waiting around to find out." "Kill Hercules!" "Is there a back door in this place?" "No, there isn't." "There is now." "My wall!" "Kill Hercules!" "All I can hear is "let's get Hercules"." "I don't hear anything about, Iolaus." "This is not good." "Out the back, he's getting away out the back." "They went down here." "Kill Hercules!" "Like I told you before." "You're all making a big mistake." "It's you who made the mistake, Hercules." "When you butchered those men." "I'm warning you." "I haven't hurt anybody yet, but I'm telling you to turn around and go home now or that's going to hurt you." "Yeah!" "Help me!" "Help me!" "Hercules!" "Hercules!" "Now do you believe me?" "Do you know where this thing lives?" "Yeah." "Then take me there." "It's this way!" "Father?" "Hercules." "What are you doing here?" "I need to talk to you, son." "But Hercules, come on, we've got to go!" "It's alright, it's okay, I'll be right there!" "Father, I don't have time, something has got Iolaus, I've gotta get" "He won't kill Iolaus." "He wants to kill you." "How would you know that?" "Because I know what's down there." "A monsterous beast." "What have you seen this thing before?" "He was a wonderful child." "As a man, what a handsome Adonis, became his curse." "What curse?" "He had a lot of follwers, trying to turn him against the gods, against each other, anyone who resisted, he murdered." "So why is he after me?" "He's not, he's after me for what I did to him." "Made him as ugly as his heart." "Now he wants revenge." "What's going on?" "You're not telling me everything." "I once had the chance to kill him." "But I couldn't." "Why can't you tell me the truth?" "I don't want to hurt you, son." "I never asked you to anything for me." "I'm asking you now." "Do what I can't." "Kill him." "In there, down there, that's where he lives." "Hercules, wait!" "We're going with you." "What are you guys doing here?" "We owe it to you." "For what we did in the town." "He took our people too." "Yeah!" "Alright, just stay behind me." "Where are we going?" "I don't know." "Wherever this leads us." "Which one do we take?" "This one." "This place is a maze." "With all these twists and turns we'll be lost for sure." "Here drag this behind you." "It will mark our path so we can find our way back out." "I'm telling you, we're already lost." "Turn back!" "Shut up, your the one who wanted to come down here in the first place." "Well, I don't know!" "We're all in this together." "No, we're not." "I'm getting out." "Then go!" "Why don't you go with your friend?" "Nope." "I'm going with you." "Great!" "I only left one trail." "This isn't happening." "It can't be!" "Aggh!" "There's no way out!" "Poor thing!" "Where are you?" "Show yourself, you coward!" "Ha ha!" "You'll see me soon enough." "Come on!" "It's pretty tight." "I don't think you can make it." "I'll make it." "Uh, Hercules." "What is it?" "I think I'm stuck." "I'll give you a hand." "Come on, come on, suck it on." "You can make it." "Come on." "No, no, I'm stuck." "Ha ha!" "too bad, you had such a big dinner." "Hercules, it's behind me." "No!" "No!" "Yes!" "No!" "Damn you!" "Where are you, come out and face me." "Ha ha ha!" "Well, well, well, look who finally decided to drop in." "Hercules, welcome to my home!" "Do you like?" "Large yes, but a little damp, and cold, kinda like a big stone grave." "Hercules, the favourite son of Zeus." "Pride of the King of the Gods." "What's the matter?" "Do I frighten you?" "Does the very sight of me offend you?" "Good." "Because that's exactly what am I. An offense." "And it was your father that made me this way." "From what I hear you deserved it." "What do you know about deserving?" "You've had everything given to you you're whole life." "Strength, fame, and glory." "No, I've earned what I have." "It was given to you by a god." "A pathetic old man who showers his precious boy with all the world, while I live in a nightmare." "Well, now it's Zeus turn for a nightmare, and it starts when I toss your head in his lap." "When does it end?" "Ha ha ha!" "With my Army storming his heaven." "I will be the new King of the Gods." "Sounds like a solid plan." "Except it's got one flaw." "Flaw, what flaw?" "Me." "Guess things didn't work out like you planned?" "Can't say I'm sorry." "Hercules, you wouldn't really kill your own brother, would you?" "Brother?" "Zeus had the chance to kill me once, but why didn't he?" "Why didn't he kill me?" "Because he couldn't bring himself to kill his own son." "You should have done it." "Come on, fight me!" "No, you're my brother." "Fight me!" "I want to prove which son of Zeus is more powerful." "I won't do it!" "Then you can watch your friend die." "No!" "Son, I wanted to tell you." "No." " I just couldn't" " Alright." "I understand." "I'm just sorry you had to lose a son." "I lost him years ago." "Father!" "We shouldn't have allowed this to happen." "The day you turned against me was the saddest day of my life." "I loved you, son." "If you only hadn't of made this necessary." "Please, don't let me die this way." "You're free now!" " Aggh!" " Iolaus, it's alright." "He's dead!" "Come on, let's get the rest out." "Thadeus, Thadeus!" "Where's your father?" "Oh, he's probably headed home." "Same thing you and I should be doing." "Yeah." "Let's get out of here!" "Well, Iolaus, that was an interesting adventure." "I little more dangerous than I remember them being." "You can say that again." "I almost got killed by a monster." "I don't want to do that for a while." "Yeah!" "Me either." "Spending time with my wife and kids is all the adventure I want right now." "I second that." "Hey, by the way, there's something." "I forgot to give you." "What's that?" "I have an excellent memory." "You better get moving or you'll have an excellent funeral." " So long!" " So long!" " Dad!" " Dad!" "Mommy!" "Mommy!" "Daddy's home!" "Captioned by Grantman Brown"
