Hercules in the Underworld Page #6

Synopsis: Hercules is finally a happy family man with his wife Deianeira, two young sons Aeson and Clonus, daughter Ilea and in-living centaur Nessus. When a trickster lures men to fight -using a fake- Eryx the Boxer, they are slain, so Hercules is called and slays the giant, but to Zeus' disappointment loses his temper when Hera shows by a peacock feather to be behind it again, and wrecks her temple. Nessus grumbles he's tired of the Herc-idolatry. The next call for help is made by Iole, from a city where people are killed by the fume from an entrance to the underworld which opened the earth there. He goes, but when an old woman recognizes the pendant the messenger gave Deianeira, saying it proves she belongs to maidens trained so well in the art of seduction they can get any man in their power, she finally believes jealous Nessus' warnings not to trust her with Hercules; they catch up with him, but he convinces her to trust him, then Nessus tries to rape her and dies cursing Hera's failure to

- HUNTER:
I had his one head.

Hey! This is my leg.

( Sniffing ) No, no. That's my leg.

- Smell that.

- ( Sniffs )

- Yeah, that's your leg.

- Thank you.

( Bones, Flesh Scrunching )

Ah. I hate when that happens.

Hercules! What the hell

are you doin' here?

- I've come to get Cerberus.

- What makes you think we need your help?

What makes you think you don't?

- Do you mind?

- Sorry.

- ( Grunts )

- ( Flesh Scrunching )

We'll catch the freak dog

on our own, Hercules.

Sooner or later, he is ours.

( Spurting )

Ahh.

Ahh. Good to go.

All right, guys. Come on.

- After him.

- Get him!

- ( Cerberus Growling )

- Which way did he go?

I smell him! This way.

- Did you get a feel for where he went?

- I hear him!

- Where?

- He's not far now!

Hey, wait.

He went this way.

Wait. This puppy's ours.

You club him if he comes out.

Hey, boys. He's in the cave.

Let's go get him!

- Let's go!

- Yeah! Yeah!

( Yelling, Grunting )

- ( Barking )

- This way!

This way! This way!

The other way! Wait, wait!

I can smell him again!

- What's that? You hear him?

- Shh.

- Where the hell did he go?

- ( Sudden Growl )

( Hunter Screaming )

He's got me! Aaah!

HUNTER:
Get ready!

( Cheering )

Hah! Finish him off now, Hercules!

- Take him out!

- Kill him now!

Make him suffer, Hercules!

( Snarling )

- What's wrong?

- ( Cerberus Growling Softly )

Pick it up! He'll kill you! Pick it up!

( Snarling )

Look.

I don't want to hurt you.

You just need to go back

to where you belong.

( Barks )

So what do you say?

( Growling Softly, Sniffing )

Will you go?

( Whines )

Remember that. Sometimes a

little kindness does the trick.

( Exhales )

Now stay.

( Zapping )

Deianeira.

- Hercules.

- Deianeira!

I missed you. I missed you.

I wasn't gonna lose you.

( Roaring Stops )

MAN:
He's done it!

Hercules has done it!

- The town's been saved!

- WOMAN:
Our town's alive again.

You saved us, Hercules.

You saved our village, I don't know

what else to say except thank you.

You don't have to say

anything else.

- I-- - DEIANEIRA: You don't have

to say anything to me either.

You did what you had to do. Because

of it you saved a lot of lives.

I still feel like I owe you an apology.

So, uh, what are you

gonna do now, Iole?

I think Lycastus and I will

start a family of our own.

- If we can do half as well as you have--

- You'll do just fine.

I'm sure of it.

Thank you.

- Now... let's go home.

- ( Laughs )

- Thank you, Hercules!

- Hercules!

( Chickens Clucking, Dog Barking )

- HERCULES:
How'd I do, kids?

- You got three!

Still wondering about

your... mortality?

- Should I be?

- I don't know.

Just because you came back from the

Underworld doesn't ment you're an immortal.

- Doesn't mean I'm not.

- True.

To tell you the truth, I don't think

I really care if I live forever.

Everything I need is right

here and now.

You've got a point.

I'm sure you feel the same way

if this were...

- My family.

- I heard that.

- What are you talking about? This is

your family. - Thank you, thank you.

Grandfather, look. Look what I've got.

- Oh! What is that?

- An apple.

An apple, isn't that the nicest apple...

You've ever seen?

- Want a bite? Come on.

- ( Laughs )

- Hercules!

- ZEUS:
Take a bite.

Hercules!

We need you!
