Who is the mighty Hercules

going to help next?

I don't know.

Do you have someone in mind?

- Friends?

- Sure. What else would we be?

- What is it? What's wrong?

- What's happened?

- I don't know.

- Bring her inside.

Deianeira.

( Whispers ) Hercules.

Deianeira.

My love. It is you!

( Distorted Screams )

( Screaming )

Help me, Hercules.

- I don't belong here.

- Neither do I.

- None of us do.

- A kiss would set us free.

Yes.

Just a kiss.

Who are you?

( Blowing )

- ( Gasps )

- There he is! Hercules!

( Weapons Rattling )

Well, well. Look who we

have here:
Hercules.

Recognize us? You sent all of us here!

I can't believe you, Dragos.

Standing side by side with Eryx.

Even after he killed your mother.

What? You killed my mother?

Oh! He... forgot to tell you?

Sorry. She was too ugly.

You oversized bastard!

Syphon! Dragos was a friend of yours.

He was my best friend!

- Bastard!

- Aaah!

( Screaming )

( Shrieking )

Going somewhere, Herc?

- ( Grunting )

- Well, I thought about it.

Damn!

Throw it down. Fight me like a man.

Aaah!

Sorry, Erxy. I'm only half man.

( Screaming )

( Screaming )

( Crazy Laughter )

- ( Flames Roaring )

- Ohh.

I just can't seem to get rid

of you, can I, Hercules?

Even dying wasn't good enough.

( Snickering ) How'd you like the cloak?

Did it fit okay?

Hope it wasn't at all...

uncomfortable.

- ( Laughs )

- You.

- ( Whooshing Sound )

- ( Nessus Laughing )

Do you realize what a fool you are?

- Hmm?

- What happened to you, Nessus?

( Scoffs ) You're an even bigger fool

then I thought you were.

I always hated you.

- I saw you for what you really are.

- And what's that?

An arrogant bastard

who feeds on the praise...

of those who fawn over you;

praise and adoration

you never deserved.

What's the matter? Do my words

suddenly fill you with hurt?

No. No hurt. Pity.

And why is that?

Because when all is said

and done, you're dead,

and I'm alive.

I'll go home to my wife and family

while you suffer down here forever.

( Snickers ) You don't have a wife.

Deianeira is dead!

She's here now,

in the Underworld, with us.

- I don't believe you.

- No.

I'll show you.

( Laughs )

The Elysian Fields,

far from here.

Ah, don't turn away.

I want to enjoy this.

You...

damn bastard.

- You're the one to blame.

- Actually, it was Hera's plan.

She deserves the credit.

Poor Deianeira.

When she realized the cloak

has driven you to your death,

she was so overcome with guilt,

- she killed herself.

- No!

- Now whose turn is it to pity who?

- Please.

Let me see her one more time!

just for a moment.

I think I will.

Only because I know noe how much

it's gonna make you suffer.

( Whispers ) Please, Deianeira.

Look, Hercules.

You're never gonna touch her again...

never hold her. ( Laughs )

But I guess you already

know that. Hmm?

Guess again.

( Grunts, Yells )

( Women Chattering, Muffled )

( Birds Chirping )

( Muffled Chattering Continues )

- Deianeira!

- I'm sorry?

Excuse me.

Deianeira!

Deianeira.

I-I can't believe I found you.

I-- I'm sorry. A-am I

Supposed to know you?

What do you mean? It's me! Hercules.

I'm your husband.

I'm afraid I don't remember.

How can you not remember?

You have to remember.

We love each other.

( Zapping Sound )

Hercules. You shouldn't be here.

Hades. What have you done to

my wife? She cann't remember me.

What's wrong with her?

Nothing's wrong. I've merely erased

the misery that brought her here that's all.

I've give her peace. Now, you must

go. Your time hasn't come yet.

- But her time hasn't come either.

- I'm sorry, my friend, it has.

I lifted her broken body

from the rocks myself.

You made a mistake she's going

back to my world with me.

( Laughs ) That's impossible.

- Nothing's impossible.

- ( Cerberus Growling )

Damn it!

Look, um. I really would go

to debate this.

But you've chosen a bad time.

I've got a lot to worry about. Okay?

- You really should go back to the land

of the living. - No. Without Deianeira.

HADES:
But she's happy here.

This is a magnificent place!

Look around you. There's

nothing but beauty and goodness.

It's her reward. To take her

away now would be selfish.

And beside. Even if you could take her.

You can't restore her memory.

Deianeira. You've got to try.

Deep down, it's all there. Please.

Say you remember me.

I'm sorry, but I can't.

Think about our home, about our children.

- Our children?

- Yes. Aeson and Klonus.

And little Ilea. You have to remember them.

Ilea? I wish I could.

You can.

Hercules?

Hercules. Oh, take me home.

Take me home.

Hercules. I'm very happy for

your little reunion.

Really. But, uh, she still has to stay.

( Loud Growl )

- What if we make a deal?

- A deal?

Now, what could you possibly

have that I would want?

Your Underworld's in chaos.

If I'm not wrong, it's because

Cerberus is running loose.

- Yes?

- I'll catch him and return him to is post...

if you agree to let Deianeira

return with me to the living.

My best Hunters are chasing that dog

and they haven't been able I capture him yet.

- What makes you think you can do it?

- I want a deal.

Will you allow Deianeira to leave

with me if I catch Cerberus?

( Cerberus Growling )

Fine. Fine. You return

Cerberus to his past,

and you and your wife may leave.

However, if you fail,

she's mine... forever.

Don't worry. I'll come back for you.

I won't leave you behind this time.

Where can I find him?

( Chains Jingling, Running Footsteps )

MAN:
Hyah!

- ( Loud Growl )

- MAN:
Out of my way!

( Growling Continues )

MAN:
You two go that way!

( Fierce Growling )

MAN:
Out of the way! Move!

- ( Hunters Shouting )

- I can see him! There he goes!

Get a rope on him!

This way!

- ( Cerberus Growling )

- ( Hunters Shouting )

HUNTER:
Where?

( Growling, Snarling )

- ( Whips Cracking )

- ( Snarling )

- Back off. Don't get too close.

- ( Whips Cracking )

- We've got you, you miserable beast!

- You're not gonna get away,

you mangy hound,

I'll give you the switch!

( Snapping, Growling )

He's getting loose!

( Hunters Screaming )

- ( Cerberus Roaring )
