The Legend of Hercules Page #4

No, you don't.

It's me.

It's me.

How did you keep it...

when you lost so much else?

Because losing this,

I would've lost it all.

It's mine! You gave it to me, yeah?

- Is there still pain?

- Have no worry.

Where should we go?

No, not where.

Doesn't matter where.

Just that we go. And this

time, I shall escape him.

We will be together...

but not in any foreign land.

Not in Tyga.

But here...

in my homeland.

Your Majesty, I understand

there's a small problem.

Tell me, Tarak, did I not pay you

a sizeable amount of gold...

to kill every last

man of those 80 men?

Yes, of course.

Then how is it there is a survivor?

And not only Captain

Sotiris, but another man.

A savior people call "Hercules".

He is rallying the villagers...

and even my own soldiers

against my rule.

What are you going to do about it?

Answer me!

If, and I say, if this is true...

I will rectify this error.

Darling flower, I missed you.

And I hate to say it, but...

we need to leave now.

What is it? ls the bloom off the

rose so soon after my arrival?

Is this him?

Yes.

How is it you survived?

No one survives those places.

Hope.

I was given hope.

Stop!

And what is your hope

now, Captain Sotiris?

That my son's life be spared.

Then take us to Hercules.

Hercules.

I didn't believe him. And

I'm not certain I do now.

You... are Hercules.

Take him away! Take Sotiris

and execute the others!

Stand aside for the King!

People of Tiryns, I give

you your mighty Hercules.

He bleeds! And why?

Because he is nothing

more than an impostor!

A liar! A man of flesh and blood!

And what has this

so-called savior wrought?

Your farms lie untilled,

your villages lay burned...

and your brothers rot

dead in the fields!

Is this the message of hope?

So, self-proclaimed son of Zeus...

how will you offer these

people their salvation...

when you cannot even save yourself?

Bring out the other traitors!

Take me, but spare these good men!

He begs for mercy for his traitors!

Iphicles, your future king!

Strike this affliction

from our lands forever.

So that tonight we may celebrate...

as you wed the Princess of Crete!

Brother! Brother! Brother!

Chiron was there

when you were born.

You were sick.

- Kill him.

- My Prince.

This life has not been wasted.

I have had the honor to stand

by the greatest hero...

the gods have ever

given the people.

Brother... please.

Father!

I believe in you!

Grant me strength!

Retreat!

Do something! Stop him!

- Commissionaires!

- Kill him!

Get up. Get up. Come on.

We stand with you, my Prince, as do

the four divisions under our command.

The people are ready to lay down

their lives for you, Hercules.

Lead us to victory!

Brave men of Tiryns!

I can only lead you

through those gates!

What our fate is beyond

them, I cannot say.

I only know what fate

there is in retreat.

Tonight we fight, not

for what we have...

but for that which has been so

savagely ripped from our breast!

Alcides the Prince...

betrays his king...

but a son of Zeus takes his

first breath of life tonight...

and fulfills his

promise to his father.

Let this night be

forever remembered...

as the hour upon which...

we took back our kingdom!

There is my bride.

I declare to you

that I love another.

He's the reason I want to wake up

in the morning and embrace the day.

If you so wound him that his face

were unrecognizable to me...

I would love him.

If his tongue were cut from his throat

and I hadn't his voice to delight me...

I would love him.

And if you make only

a memory of him...

I would love him

even more eternally.

That is what you have

to look forward to.

Halt in the name of the king!

Identify yourselves!

You will be fired upon!

Archers ready!

Shields!

That is Sotiris and the men of the Fourth!

We were told they'd deserted!

- Captain!

- Hold your fire!

I have taken arrows before!

If you fight to defend

tyranny, let them fly!

Men!

We take Tiryns! We take our lands!

Lower your aim!

Sotiris!

Fire!

We are with you, Hercules!

Forward!

King Amphitryon! Show yourself!

Where are you, you coward!

Hiding with your Prince?

Hercules! I apologize

for the Prince...

but he's about to consummate

his marriage to Queen Hebe...

the future wife of the

next king of Tiryns!

And as for myself, well,

I come to welcome you home.

As a matter of fact, I have

a little surprise for you.

Battle formation!

King Amphitryon, my

sword against yours!

Victor takes all!

The city, its subjects,

army, riches!

Not another soldier shall die!

What say you, most brave

and merciful King of Tiryns?

Will you spare these men?

Imitation, the highest

form of flattery.

Accept your destiny!

Cause I already rule

it all, my son.

I'm not your son, you

murdering coward!

And the one who rules it

all is my true father!

Lay down your weapons

or prepare to die!

Tarak, kill the traitors!

Soldiers!

Prepare to...

Slaughter!

Have you come to bring the

wrath of Zeus upon me, boy!

No! I come to you as a mortal...

to bring the wrath of Alcides...

upon the tyrant who

killed my mother.

Come at me, boy, and learn...

why I am the slayer of kings!

Come!

Get up!

Brother! Release him!

Release him this moment,

or I will kill her.

My son... you may not be

a total loss after all.

Alcides, I do not matter.

Do you agree, brother?

Because as long as you can't have

her, she does not matter to me.

And she's made it perfectly

clear, I do not matter to her.

- Brother, no!

- Release him!

We shall be together, my love.

No!

My love.

Do not fear.

I fear...

but one thing, I always have...

your departure each and every time.

- I'm here now.

- This time, please stay.

I promise.
