Hercules Page #5

An extraordinary species.

Incredibly loyal.

As long as they're fed.

- Remember them?

- Eurystheus.

They remember you.

Confused, Hercules?

Kingdoms are won with armies,

but empires are made by alliances.

King Eurystheus and I will

now rule all of Greece.

Cerberus only exists in my mind.

Speak a little louder, Hercules.

I didn't quite catch that.

The wolves.

They were there that night.

The wolves were there.

You drugged me.

The wolves were there the

night my family was murdered.

My men told me how

your children screamed

as my wolves gnawed on their bones.

As their fangs despoiled your

daughter's... pure flesh.

When the people called out

your name louder than mine,

you see, when they saw

you as a god, how long...

- before they saw you as their king?

- I wanted nothing!

Precisely! Your sin, Hercules,

was that you had no ambition!

I can deal with an ambitious man!

He can be bought!

But a man who wants

nothing has no price!

Killing you would have

turned Athens against me.

I had to ruin your name.

My wife!

My children!

Well, you have our permission

to join them in death.

All of you! Starting with

my faithless daughter!

No! Get off me!

No! No! No! Unhand me! No!

She's your own flesh and blood!

I will raise Arius to be

my worthy successor!

You stay away from my boy!

You monster, you bastard!

You are a monster!

- You are a monster!

- No!

You are not a man! You're a demon!

Who are you?

Are you a murderer?

Damn you! I curse you!

Are you a mercenary who

turns his back on the innocent?

Stay away from my son!

Are you only the legend? Or are

you the truth behind the legend?

No! Father, please, please, please.

We believe in you.

We have faith in you.

Have faith in yourself.

Save me!

Remember the man that you are.

Father, the gods will punish you!

You cannot escape this time!

Remember the deeds

you have performed,

the Labors you have accomplished!

No! No!

- Stop it!

- Leave her alone!

Now, tell me!

- Please!

- Who are you?

I am Hercules!

Unleash the wolves!

Get away!

Ahh!

Three wolves should be more

than enough for one lion.

Hurry!

- Hurry!

- Hurry!

No!

Ahh!

The gods have revealed

your innocence.

The final Labor is complete.

But I'm just getting started.

Doesn't take a vision to know

what's waiting for us up there.

My time.

Excuse me. That was

my moment, my fate.

You're welcome.

I'm going after Eurystheus!

Hercules, listen to me.

None of this is my fault.

You see, Cotys poisoned my mind.

Turned me against you.

I like you. No, stop.

I command you to stop! I'm your King!

You took an oath to obey me!

You swore to Zeus! Wait, wait, wait.

You fight for gold. I have plenty

of gold. Name your price.

Find it in your heart to forgive.

You want forgiveness?

Ask my family for forgiveness.

I've never killed a god before.

I really think I'm

ready to fight now.

Well done, warrior.

- Eurystheus?

- Dead.

- We need to find Arius.

- Follow me.

Soldiers of Thrace!

You followed me in battle.

Follow me now.

Don't be fools!

Hercules is mortal! Not a god!

Anyone who sides with him will die!

And I will show you. Bring him.

- Arius!

- Mama!

No! He's your grandson!

You failed to save your

children, Hercules.

But you may yet save him.

Please, Father! No!

Admit defeat! Bow to me!

You have until the count of three!

One!

Two!

Don't just stand there! Kill someone!

Protect Lord Cotys!

- Arius, run!

- Mother!

Get the boy!

Tydeus!

Attack!

Hold them back!

Spears!

Go through the fire!

Here! Here! Help! Come on!

Easy, Tydeus.

Hercules.

Lock shields!

March!

Find peace, my brother.

As you said, Hercules, there is

no way to defeat a shield wall!

There is no way out!

Come out and face me!

You're no hero! You're no god!

You're nothing but a mercenary!

Your wife and children

deserved to die!

What're you doing? Get back up there!

Hercules must die!

Come on!

Kill that filthy bastard!

Hercules! Hercules!

Hercules! Hercules!

Hercules! Hercules! Hercules!

Hercules! Hercules!

Hercules! Hercules! Hercules!

Hercules! Hercules! Hercules!

You want to know the

truth about Hercules?

There it is.

To be honest, I prefer

it to the legend.

The world needs a hero

they can believe in.

Is he actually the son of Zeus?

I don't think it really matters.

You don't need to be a

demigod to be a hero.

You just need to

believe you're a hero.

It's what worked for him.

But then again,

what the hell do I know?

I'm supposed to be dead by now.
