00:00:00Long before the heavens had taken form, there existed an angel-like figure, a goddess, whom
00:00:19the ancients called Empyrea.
00:00:22From within her came the seed of fire and light that was to issue forth all stars, planets
00:00:29and moons.

00:01:55and light. The planet Earth was formed, together with its satellite, the moon. Then one day,
00:02:03the gods, the prime movers of the universe, gave life to an earthly creature, the mightiest,
00:02:11the most heroic of all men, Hercules.

00:07:35Many honors were bestowed upon Hercules for his deeds on Earth, and he took his rightful
00:07:41place on Olympus, from where Zeus, king of the gods, ruled peacefully, thanks to his
00:07:47seven mighty thunderbolts. But one day, foolish and envious gods stole the seven thunderbolts
00:07:59and unleashed the diabolical forces of evil and chaos.
00:08:29Be quiet, maiden. You disturb the gods. The altar is set. The appointed hour has come.
00:08:49The fires await her, silken flanks. To the altar! To the altar!
00:09:05Find her in her chains! No! No! I've done nothing!
00:09:15Quiet! Be still!
00:09:27Untie me! Cry not. It is an honor to be chosen. No! No!
00:09:35The moon is high. We are ready, my dear Antaeus. The city of Thragesta offers you another one of its daughters.
00:09:41No! Don't give me to the fire monster! You're privileged. This is your destiny.
00:09:47You must die so that your people will live on. No! Don't let him take me! He is evil!
00:09:55She is yours, Antaeus!
00:10:01No! No! No! No! No! No!
00:10:23No! No!
00:10:53No!
00:11:17Glacia!
00:11:18What is it?
00:11:20Antaeus! The fire monster! Ilia! Ilia's dead!
00:11:26I was there. The ghoulish fiend swallowed her in his flames, consumed her slowly.
00:11:33Oh, it was horrible.
00:11:36Who gives him his power? He'll swallow us all, Euryne. One by one.
00:11:50Why do our gods permit it? Why has our clan been chosen for this horror?
00:11:58No, don't blame the gods. You must have faith. Please, be strong.
00:12:05I want to have faith, Euryne. It's difficult, though.
00:12:09I know.
00:12:11I knew you went there. I wanted to stop you. You forget you're our chosen sister.
00:12:16Our fate is in your destiny. Has it revealed itself?
00:12:21No, I think it's too early, my sister. I have only the power to predict, not to prevent.
00:12:28It is said that you shall be the next victor.
00:12:34Ilia had come to me in a dream. I went to her, but it was too late. And now...
00:12:41I'd be willing to die to save our people. But what's the good? It'll only be in vain.
00:12:52He'll consume us, like he did Ilia. Antaeus is evil. He must be destroyed.
00:13:01There is a way.
00:13:03What are you saying?
00:13:04That there's a way to destroy him.
00:13:06How?
00:13:07With cunning. I'll go to the little people.
00:13:10Yes, they use cunning to survive.
00:13:12And I'm sure they'll give me the right answer. Have faith, Glossia. I'll be back by morning.
00:13:53Little people, friends of Zeus. Oh, please, listen to my prayer.
00:14:10We know why you are here, Urania. Terrible things are happening in the universe.
00:14:14Even the gods have been led astray.
00:14:17Four of them rebelled against Zeus and stole his seven mighty thunderbolts.
00:14:21The secret, the key to all his powers.
00:14:25It is your fate that calls, and your coming here was already planned.
00:14:30The architects of the universe have lost control of the heavenly bodies.
00:14:34Our moon is coming towards us.
00:14:36Your destiny is interwoven in the celestial upheaval.
00:14:40And it will lead you to the one man who can help you.
00:14:44Who is he? Where can I find him?
00:14:46He's the strongest man who has ever walked the earth.
00:14:49A man called Hercules.
00:14:51Hercules is still...
00:14:53Yes, the invincible son of Zeus.
00:14:56It was he who divided the continents.
00:14:59As it was he who had formed the constellations.
00:15:02And who defeated King Minos and his vast empire.
00:15:06Yes, Hercules, the invincible.
00:15:08And yet nothing's been heard from him for ages.
00:15:11They say that Zeus sent him up to the heavens
00:15:14and placed him among the brightest stars.
00:15:16Destiny says it is you who must seek him.
00:15:19Go with Glaucia to the Forbidden Valley.
00:15:22That's where you shall meet him.
00:15:24Hercules.
00:15:25Yes, the invincible.
00:15:27Hercules!
00:15:42They are crying for Hercules, oh Zeus.
00:15:45And we seem immune to their suffering.
00:15:48I have hesitated.
00:15:50Because man must learn to stand on his own two feet.
00:15:54I blame our own gods if man has failed.
00:15:59I am not afraid.
00:16:01I am not afraid.
00:16:03I am not afraid.
00:16:05I am not afraid.
00:16:08I blame our own gods if man has failed.
00:16:12There has been wickedness here in Olympus,
00:16:15and I am powerless.
00:16:17The moon is wild.
00:16:19It looms bigger every day as it moves in on its mother planet.
00:16:23The foolish gods who stole my seven thunderbolts
00:16:26are the cause of this disorder.
00:16:28There is no other hope but to summon the greatest warrior ever known.
00:16:32He will stop the rebel gods
00:16:35and recover my seven thunderbolts.
00:16:41Hercules!
00:16:44Hercules!
00:16:46Return to Earth!
00:16:48Retrieve my seven thunderbolts, which allow me to maintain order.
00:16:53Make haste, Hercules,
00:16:55lest the planets destroy themselves and all living things.
00:17:05Hercules!
00:17:36Hercules!
00:17:50Hercules!
00:18:05Hercules!
00:18:35Hercules!
00:18:39Hercules!
00:18:45Hercules!
00:18:48Hercules!
00:18:51Hercules!
00:18:54Hercules!
00:18:59Hercules!
00:19:05Hercules!
00:19:35Hercules!
00:19:46Hercules is here on Earth
00:19:48and has already converted one of the seven thunderbolts.
00:19:52Should he find all seven, our plans will be shattered.
00:19:56No.
00:19:57The lightning lies in the bellies of monsters,
00:20:00and they roam in places inaccessible to man.
00:20:03You're right, Hera. Zeus will be destroyed,
00:20:06and as for Hercules,
00:20:08someone has waited many years for revenge.
00:20:12Am I right, Flora?
00:20:14I've arranged it all, dear Hera.
00:20:17I've called upon the warrior, Goras.
00:20:21He's ambitious, has few scruples,
00:20:24and will consent to any request.
00:20:27The fool seeks the status of a demigod,
00:20:30but lacks the gentility.
00:20:32He will serve us well.
00:20:37Flora!
00:20:39Flora!
00:20:40Flora!
00:21:00Ah, there you are.
00:21:03First you nearly blind me,
00:21:06and then you hide in shadow.
00:21:09Why have you summoned me to such a dreary place?
00:21:12You always wanted to know the secrets of darkness,
00:21:16and now your wish is about to be answered.
00:21:20Come.
00:21:40This is...
00:21:45It's the secret tomb of King Minos of Thera.
00:21:48Good for you, Goras.
00:21:50His cursed ashes lie here.
00:21:52But his knowledge and power cannot be imprisoned forever.
00:21:56Release them.
00:22:09Release them.
00:22:40He's nothing but bones.
00:22:42Of course, but through resurrection he shall rise again.
00:22:46But in order to have life,
00:22:49one must take life.
00:22:51Yours, Flora.
00:22:58Poseidon.
00:23:02Aphrodite.
00:23:05Hera.
00:23:09Minos can now be stirred from his eternal sleep.
00:23:13I have my misgivings, Flora.
00:23:15Minos was always up to mischief and deception.
00:23:18But we've the power to handle him.
00:23:21Flora did well to slay the warrior Goras.
00:23:35Now, the blood of this man
00:23:38will give life back to Minos.
00:24:08Minos.
00:24:39Who awakens me?
00:24:50It is you three.
00:24:56What do you want, Hera?
00:24:59Zeus has brought Hercules back to life.
00:25:02We need your help. He must be eliminated.
00:25:06And whatever you wish will be yours.
00:25:14You know I've never put much stock on the promises of gods.
00:25:19But it's not often that fulfilling one's obligations
00:25:23can be such pleasure.
00:25:35Hocus-pocus.
00:26:05Hocus-pocus.
00:26:36Oh, help! Help me!
00:26:38Easy. Calm down.
00:26:40I beg you, help me.
00:26:42They thought I was dead,
00:26:44but they took my friend Urania with them.
00:26:47Who took her?
00:26:49The slime people. They ambushed us.
00:26:52They rise out of the mud and mire and hold you by suction.
00:26:56Where did they go?
00:26:58Through the wild, towards a great mouth of stone.
00:27:02The Forbidden Valley.
00:27:04You should know that this is a very dangerous region.
00:27:17This way.
00:27:33Glacia?
00:27:38Urania.
00:27:41Hercules, I thought you were still...
00:27:44Hurry, there's no time now.
00:27:48No!
00:28:03Hey!
00:28:16Hold on.
00:28:19Good girl.
00:28:21Come on.
00:28:33Come on.
00:28:41Quick, inside the stone mouth.
00:28:43They're coming.
00:28:45Inside, inside.
00:29:02What was that?
00:29:03It could be the work of gods. Careful.
00:29:06But the gods always forewarn earthly people.
00:29:08There are evil gods.
00:29:10How can we tell?
00:29:12Don't worry.
00:29:14For now, no one's bothering us.
00:29:16They seemed afraid of this place, and yet they brought you here.
00:29:20They were going to sacrifice me to something.
00:29:23Something that lives in here.
00:29:26The currents change direction at this point.
00:29:29The air flow takes this way.
00:29:31Come, follow me.
00:29:34Where do you...
00:29:35Quiet.
00:29:50It is we who trespass.
00:29:53Welcome, earthlings.
00:29:56It is a rare pleasure to have you in our midst.
00:30:03Who art thou?
00:30:06I am Euryale.
00:30:08Come into my palace.
00:30:26They look real.
00:30:32These statues, they look as quiet and still as mummies.
00:30:36As if the sculptor caught his subjects unaware.
00:30:41They have a very realistic look in the eye.
00:30:44They seem to be tense, quivering.
00:30:46There is nothing more beautiful than the human body
00:30:50caught in a moment of tension.
00:30:52Forever in stone, immortalized.
00:30:56Great deeds make us immortal.
00:30:59We can't all be so fortunate.
00:31:03Come.
00:31:12Where do you take us, Euryale?
00:31:14To safety.
00:31:16These caves are a labyrinth.
00:31:18It is very easy to get lost.
00:31:20Beyond these columns lies the way out.
00:31:23We didn't come in through here.
00:31:26You'll find another way out down there.
00:31:29Visitors on these lands are forbidden.
00:31:32I've led you safely underground through the Forbidden Valley.
00:31:38We thank you for your help.
00:31:41Fight them! Fight them!
00:32:12Wait!
00:32:20Hercules!
00:32:33Euryale is gone.
00:32:35She's one of the gargoyle monsters
00:32:37who turned men into stone at a single glance.
00:32:40These are the gods I'm looking for.
00:32:42Now that we're past the Forbidden Valley,
00:32:44we'll continue the journey,
00:32:45but you must leave this dungeon now,
00:32:47and I'll...
00:32:48Don't tempt the gods. You must go now.
00:32:55Wait for me. I shan't be long.
00:33:11I'm over here.
00:33:16Poor Hercules.
00:33:18King Zeus sent you on a long journey.
00:33:21What a shame it must end here.
00:33:24Be stilled forever like stone.
00:33:29With me.
00:33:31With me.
00:33:33With me.
00:33:35With me.
00:33:37Like stone.
00:33:39With me.
00:33:41I will find you! I'm coming!
00:33:44Yes, do come.
00:33:47Let me look at you.
00:34:02Hercules!
00:34:08Hercules!
00:34:14I'm over here.
00:34:20I'm over here.
00:34:29I'm over here.
00:34:31Come look at me.
00:34:34Look at yourself, dear you, really,
00:34:37and use my shield as a mirror.
00:34:45Hercules.
00:35:04Hercules.
00:35:31The second thunderbolt.
00:35:35Hercules has discovered the second thunderbolt.
00:35:38No.
00:35:39And Minos disappeared.
00:35:41For three days and three nights,
00:35:44Minos has been sailing east.
00:35:46I know. I followed him to the edge of time and space.
00:35:49You could have changed the winds.
00:35:51His science changed them back.
00:35:53He uses science against godly powers.
00:35:56I don't trust him.
00:35:58Our purpose is the same.
00:36:00That is to kill.
00:36:02That is to kill Hercules.
00:36:05I must find a way to overcome the fire monster's radiant heat.
00:36:10I am not immune to the energy Antaeus releases.
00:36:13The little people use cunning against power.
00:36:15I think they will listen to me.
00:36:17Then let us go to the little people.
00:36:19But to reach them, we'll have to cross the doomed forest,
00:36:21where the demon Tartarus reigns.
00:36:23We can't go back now.
00:36:25Then you'll save the maidens of the jester.
00:36:27Fate has already willed it.
00:36:29Zeus has sent me here to find his mighty thunderbolts.
00:36:33And one of them is inside Antaeus' belly.
00:36:51It's so gloomy here, like a land of lost souls.
00:36:55That's what they are.
00:36:57Their dolls, hundreds of thousands.
00:37:02It's the work of a fiend.
00:37:05Once they were humans or demigods.
00:37:08This resembles hell on earth.
00:37:12And to think that Tartarus was once a favorite of King Zeus,
00:37:15until one day he offended the king and was banished.
00:37:19He's been living in this forest for thousands of years.
00:37:24It is said he poisons the trees and that the splinters are deadly.
00:37:28If we go another way, we'll lose time.
00:37:31But...
00:37:32He could have attacked us had he wanted.
00:37:34There's little else we can do but face him.
00:37:36Wait here.
00:37:40Urania, I'm scared.
00:37:43I'm terrified.
00:37:55I'm scared.
00:37:58I'm scared.
00:38:24Show yourself!
00:38:26I'm here.
00:38:28Let us cross the forest in peace.
00:38:31I'm here.
00:38:33I'm here.
00:38:35I'm here.
00:38:37I'm here.
00:38:39I'm here.
00:38:41I'm here.
00:38:43I'm here.
00:38:45I'm here.
00:38:47I'm here.
00:38:49I'm here.
00:38:51Let us cross the forest in peace.
00:38:57I rule the world of the dead.
00:39:02I have sent many a valiant soul to Hades.
00:39:08Hercules!
00:39:12Did I frighten the son of Zeus?
00:39:21Doom!
00:39:24Die!
00:39:26Die!
00:39:29You will join my forest of dangling souls.
00:39:33Where are you?
00:39:35Here!
00:39:37Your death shall free the souls!
00:39:47The third thunderbolt.
00:39:52All beings but us will perish,
00:39:55and I shall regenerate mankind to my own likeness.
00:39:58I am chaos.
00:40:00This sword of ice has existed from the beginning of time,
00:40:04and with it you will have the gods at your feet.
00:40:08I'll have the gods at my feet?
00:40:10Yes, Minos.
00:40:12The sword was forged for Cronus at the time of creation,
00:40:15and later, when Zeus conquered Cronus,
00:40:17I stole the sword and hid it for this occasion.
00:40:22The gods have always underestimated me, Daedalus.
00:40:25And they will be punished for it.
00:40:27For the sake of my honor.
00:40:30With this sword, science shall triumph.
00:40:37I give it to you now.
00:40:39It is to be used only once.
00:40:48Beware, ye gods, of the science of Minos.
00:40:56Here we are.
00:40:58That's the way to the little people,
00:41:00through the ancient naos of La Kunt.
00:41:02They see and hear what we cannot.
00:41:04Then you'll wait here?
00:41:06Yes.
00:41:07Good luck, Urania.
00:41:09I won't be long.
00:41:12Where the fires are high,
00:41:14I invoke you, Clotho and Lachesis.
00:41:18What brings thee here, Urania?
00:41:22I am the god of fire.
00:41:25I am the god of fire.
00:41:27I am the god of fire.
00:41:29I am the god of fire.
00:41:32I am the god of fire.
00:41:35I am the god of fire.
00:41:38I am the god of fire.
00:41:40What brings thee here, Urania?
00:41:43You had made your choice.
00:41:45You found Hercules, and destiny is being fulfilled.
00:41:49Yes, and we thank you for it.
00:41:51And would ask you this.
00:41:53How can Hercules stand up to Antaeus and not meet his death?
00:41:56To your question, we do know the answer.
00:41:59But first, Urania, you must find the one and only substance
00:42:03that can give protection to man
00:42:06against the flames of the fire monster, Antaeus.
00:42:09It is the healing secret balm of Nonocryl,
00:42:13made out of drops of water from the River Styx.
00:42:17Where is it?
00:42:18You and Hercules must reach the sea
00:42:21and find there the Sanctuary of Thetis.
00:42:24She will tell you what Hercules and you must do to face Antaeus.
00:42:29Fire can only be defeated by water.
00:42:33Yes, but how can we find her sanctuary under such deep water?
00:42:37You will have gills like fish if you swallow these precious herbs,
00:42:41and you will breathe like the inhabitants of the sea.
00:42:44Take these golden leaves of the consecrated gardens of Hesper.
00:43:00Hercules, I've got the secret.
00:43:03Tell me, how can we stop the fire monster?
00:43:05We'll have to journey.
00:43:06Where to?
00:43:07No, you must stay here, Glossia.
00:43:09Don't you think we should stay together?
00:43:11The little people speak in the name of Zeus,
00:43:13and we will have to do what they say.
00:43:15Their words reflect the faithfulness of the gods.
00:43:18They only speak the truth.
00:43:20It is best, Glossia.
00:43:22Wait for us here, and don't worry.
00:43:24We'll not be long.
00:43:27You say the little people spoke of Thetis and the Sea Kingdom?
00:43:31Yes, and the door to it lies below there.
00:43:35That's many leagues beneath the sea.
00:43:37We needn't fear.
00:43:38We shall breathe like water creatures, thanks to this.
00:43:42The little people gave them to me.
00:43:44Oh, what is that?
00:43:46Time is short.
00:43:47Take it.
00:43:49Didn't you hear?
00:43:51Oh, what is that?
00:43:52Time is short.
00:43:53Take it.
00:43:55Didn't you say the little people always spoke the truth?
00:44:22The Sea Kingdom
00:44:45Look there.
00:44:47Yes, it's the Temple of Thetis, the Nereid.
00:45:18Welcome, my friends.
00:45:20Do not be alarmed.
00:45:22You don't see me speak, but you hear the projection of my thought.
00:45:26You've come in the name of Zeus, I know.
00:45:29We have very little time, and we need your help.
00:45:32It shall not be denied.
00:45:34The sacred bomb the little people spoke to you about
00:45:38was made with three drops taken from the river Styx that flows through Hades.
00:45:44If you spread the bomb from head to toe, you shall, for a short while,
00:45:48resist the incinerating flames of Antis, the fire monster.
00:45:54If I'm able to resist the heat for the time it takes to discover his secret,
00:45:59then Thegesta will be free.
00:46:01Yes, the maidens of Thegesta shall be free of danger, but not for long.
00:46:08The thunderbolts that were stolen from Zeus have caused havoc in the skies.
00:46:13The moon no longer obeys the earth.
00:46:16The tides have swum in the seas.
00:46:18You must find the remaining thunderbolts, or our planet shall surely be crushed.
00:46:23We'll be crushed?
00:46:25The moon?
00:46:26Yes, it is coming upon us.
00:46:28The meridians have been changed.
00:46:30Unless cosmic balance is re-established,
00:46:33it will mean the annihilation of all living things.
00:46:36Perhaps even the gods.
00:46:38We cannot let this happen. We must stop it now.
00:46:41Hercules and Urania,
00:46:44you hold the fate of all that has been created in your hands.
00:46:48I give you the sacred bomb you have come for.
00:46:52Go and face the fire monster at once.
00:47:02Are you all right?
00:47:03Yes, yes, let's go.
00:47:06Let's go.
00:47:16Where is she?
00:47:17I don't know.
00:47:19Glossia?
00:47:26Glossia?
00:47:30Would she have gone around that point?
00:47:32It's not like her. It's strange.
00:47:36Strange.
00:47:42Look there.
00:47:52It's a shield.
00:48:03I know this shield.
00:48:05Whose is it?
00:48:07It belongs to the high priest and to his soldiers.
00:48:11The priest who invokes the fire monster.
00:48:14That means they came here to get her and to sacrifice her.
00:48:17They can't be far ahead of us. We'll reach her in time.
00:48:20Great gods, don't let me die.
00:48:22Oh, I beg. Please, please help me.
00:48:26Help me.
00:48:28No, no, don't let me die.
00:48:31I invoke thee, Antius.
00:48:35Lord of fire, we offer you the last daughter of the jester.
00:48:42Come, here is your victim.
00:48:55It's ghastly.
00:48:58It's ghastly.
00:49:08It's hell.
00:49:10Hell on earth. Take it away.
00:49:17No, no.
00:49:23It's Antius.
00:49:25Help.
00:49:28I am ready for you.
00:49:30Oh, please.
00:49:57Oh, please.
00:50:27Oh, no.
00:50:58No.
00:51:12Antius is dead. We've been set free.
00:51:15Hercules has found the fourth lightning bolt.
00:51:18But this is only the beginning.
00:51:20The beginning? We're rid of the monster.
00:51:23The problem is not just Antius.
00:51:25Our mother earth is in great danger.
00:51:28And mankind will perish unless we can help Hercules find the three remaining thunderbolts.
00:51:37I think Minos is up to his old tricks again, always experimenting.
00:51:41We did not rebel against Zeus only to join forces with disaster.
00:51:46No, we rebelled against Zeus to be free, completely free.
00:51:51Should he succeed in collecting all his thunderbolts,
00:51:54Zeus will be back in full force.
00:51:56Why hasn't Minos stopped him yet?
00:51:58Minos doesn't need our advice.
00:52:01The clashing of these two enemies is unavoidable.
00:52:05Minos is preparing a nice little surprise for Hercules.
00:52:08Oh, is he?
00:52:09At this very moment.
00:52:11Meanwhile, Flora is keeping Minos in check.
00:52:14Yes. In fact, he asked that I appear before him.
00:52:17Perhaps the three of us should appear. He's diabolically clever.
00:52:21But Flora is the one who brought him back from eternal sleep.
00:52:24He seems to trust her most.
00:52:26He trusts no one. Let us hope for the best.
00:52:29The stars be with you, Flora.
00:52:31Thank you, Hera.
00:52:52You're late in answering my call.
00:52:55The gods have done what you wanted, Minos.
00:52:58Yet Hercules succeeds in his mission.
00:53:00He's found four thunderbolts while you... you just disappear.
00:53:04You're acting as though you were a god.
00:53:06I am much more than a god, Flora.
00:53:09You're mad, Minos.
00:53:11The time has come to dissolve the bond that ties me with foolish gods.
00:53:17The time has come to dissolve the bond that ties me with foolish gods,
00:53:21unworthy of my talents.
00:53:24Those gods will annihilate you, Minos. Be careful.
00:53:28Your concern for me is touching,
00:53:30especially since it comes at the moment when you should be afraid for yourself.
00:53:35Flora, goddess of spring,
00:53:38I deliver you into the land of frost.
00:53:42Of ice!
00:53:47Huh?
00:54:07The little people used to appear in this temple
00:54:09before the fire monster destroyed it.
00:54:13If only I couldn't call them back.
00:54:18What is it, Urania?
00:54:20I... I feel another presence.
00:54:24It's strange, as if...
00:54:30Urania, are you certain this is the place?
00:54:34The temple has always meant a lot to the little people.
00:54:37I've always talked to them, but now I can't feel their presence.
00:54:41There is another way, although it's difficult and very dangerous.
00:54:44How is that?
00:54:45I shall consult an oracle.
00:54:47What oracle?
00:54:48The oracle of death. Let me go now. I'll be back.
00:54:51Why the oracle of death?
00:54:53The little people are spirits. They're not of this world.
00:54:56Have faith in me, Hercules, and wait for me.
00:55:12Take this magic potion in your hands
00:55:16and transmit your thought to me.
00:55:19I shall hear it.
00:55:22Sweet oracle of death, help me to reach the little people.
00:55:27Drink the potion.
00:55:42We're sorry we couldn't come to you, dear Urania,
00:55:46but the Earth is a difficult place, even for spirits.
00:55:50It's much safer here in the astral world,
00:55:53amidst the stars, moons and planets.
00:56:12They say there is chaos here, too.
00:56:16Where shall we ever take our poor spirits?
00:56:41Uh...
00:57:04We know that you have come here, Urania,
00:57:07to find out where the goddess Hera and her rebellious sisters have hidden the
00:57:12rest of Zeus's Thunderbolts. Not even the gods have secrets from us. We could tell
00:57:17you where they are, but your search will be extremely difficult. You've been
00:57:21chosen to help Hercules retrieve the Thunderbolts, but you weren't told of the
00:57:26risks that are involved. Zeus knows that for universal peace you are ready to
00:57:30sacrifice all. Yes, it will mean your life.
00:57:37There's something strange about this old temple. Urania and I have been here
00:57:46before. And she'd come to consult the Oracle? Yes, she inherited her powers from
00:57:52her mother, her adopted mother, a priestess of Corinth. And her father? We
00:57:58don't know, but when her mother died she was taken in by my parents in Thegesta.
00:58:04And they've since died? We have had a hard life, and that is why Urania and I are so
00:58:09close. My family and ancestors had lived in Thegesta since time forgotten, but
00:58:15after Antaeus descended upon us all changed. Now we only live to defend
00:58:19ourselves. We're...
00:58:23What was that? What did you hear? Something that came from that direction.
00:58:32Are you certain, Glacia? Well, I thought I did.
00:58:40I already told you I had my misgivings.
00:58:54Who are these people? Women warriors! The Amazons of Scythia!
00:59:01Be careful of the Queen, Hercules! She is the most evil of all!
00:59:32Hercules!
00:59:49The net! Throw the net on him!
01:00:05What will we do with her? We'll come back for her later.
01:00:13Yes, Captain.
01:00:35Rise, Your Majesty. Rise up from the fires, my Queen.
01:00:39Rise and let your burning flesh meld together
01:00:43with the body of your victim.
01:00:50You've a choice prize in your net, O Queen of Spiders.
01:01:00Hercules?
01:01:04Yes, Hercules.
01:01:06I am the Queen of Spiders.
01:01:10I am the Queen of Spiders.
01:01:14I am the Queen of Spiders.
01:01:19Hercules?
01:01:23Hercules awaits you, my Queen.
01:01:29Go. Leave me.
01:01:49Uranium!
01:01:53Oh, Uranium!
01:01:57Glacia, what happened? You bruised your head.
01:02:01We've been attacked. And they took Hercules.
01:02:03And they left me there, thinking that I was dead.
01:02:05Who? Who did it?
01:02:07While fighting the Amazons.
01:02:09The Spider Queen?
01:02:11Yes.
01:02:14She's a monster who has assumed the likeness of a human.
01:02:18There's little we can do, Urania.
01:02:22I call to thee, powers of light,
01:02:26transfer unto Hercules thy energy to win.
01:02:30I call to thee, powers of light,
01:02:34transfer unto Hercules thy energy to win.
01:02:38I call to thee, powers of light,
01:02:43transfer unto Hercules thy energy to win.
01:02:47Her love is evil. He must kill her, or he will die.
01:03:13I...
01:03:35The fifth Thunderbolt.
01:03:37I deliver it to you, Zeus.
01:03:42The Goddess Hera was the instrument of my return to Earth, but not the cause.
01:03:58Fate needed me here.
01:04:00Now, Deedless, this is surely an important moment for science.
01:04:07For me, the goal of science is to release chaos and disorder.
01:04:13Make me the ally of trickery and of chaos.
01:04:18It'll serve you well.
01:04:26I bestow cunning, connivance, and chaos.
01:04:30We four gods are doomed, Hera.
01:04:42It was a grave mistake to rebel against Zeus.
01:04:45Poseidon is right. Hercules has discovered the fifth thunderbolt, and soon Zeus will shatter Minos.
01:04:51No, Hercules cannot compete with Minos. His science is invincible.
01:04:55And once Hercules is defeated, we shall rid ourselves of Minos.
01:04:59Invincible? Not from the looks of things. Flora was instantly felled by the sword of ice.
01:05:05You carry on so, and yet would consider yourselves gods. You're like ordinary mortals, without dignity.
01:05:17Yes, without dignity. Science and chaos have given me the power to eliminate you all.
01:05:29Flee, Aphrodite! Hera!
01:05:59Beware, Minos.
01:06:03Beware of what? Of your quivering frame?
01:06:11A goddess in my power?
01:06:14You did not conquer us. I admit we were all divided by jealousy. But Zeus will have his day.
01:06:22Zeus? Zeus is nil without his thunderbolts. And with Hercules' help, they'll all soon be mine.
01:06:32He'll not agree to that.
01:06:34Oh, no, you're wrong, my dear Hera. Hercules works for me, though he's not aware of it.
01:06:39But now you shall tell me where the last thunderbolt is hidden.
01:06:45Never.
01:06:47Oh, I can wait. Never is only a question of time.
01:06:52Follow me!
01:06:53Where does this lead?
01:06:55To the edge of the world. But we needn't fear, Hercules.
01:06:58Then these are the wastelands of Hesperia, the last bulwark before ascending Mount Olympus.
01:07:05Our destiny takes us up through there.
01:07:07Then lead on.
01:07:09There are still two thunderbolts for you to uncover, O Hercules. Be patient, my son.
01:07:15I shall guide you to them.
01:07:24Where are we now?
01:07:26Shh! Quiet!
01:07:29We're in the Temple of Echoes, where the words of men reflect those of the gods, where everything reflects itself.
01:07:45The Temple of Echoes
01:07:48The Temple of Echoes
01:08:12Look there. The reflected light of a thunderbolt.
01:08:16The foolish gods have repented.
01:08:20Yes, the gods have been graced.
01:08:25And now, Zeus, it's time to crush the forces of chaos.
01:08:29The time to fulfill our destinies.
01:08:47Glossia!
01:08:49Glossia!
01:08:50One move and she dies.
01:08:52The moment of truth is here. I'm not who you think I am.
01:08:56Glossia is dead.
01:08:58Yes, thanks to Glossia, I knew your every move, Hercules.
01:09:01Now that you've found the sixth thunderbolt, it's time we faced each other.
01:09:06Venus, not again.
01:09:08Yes, I'm back. Thanks to the gods.
01:09:13Actually, I've been back for a while.
01:09:17From that time at that lonely beach when you lost sight of Glossia.
01:09:21Remember?
01:09:22I had called upon Poseidon, and he commanded that the waters drain the life out of the real Glossia.
01:09:43No!
01:09:50Glossia, it's not possible. How can it be?
01:09:54Oh, we created an exact replica of the original.
01:09:58Better than the original, at least for us.
01:10:03Her emotional and mental responses appear to be the same.
01:10:07But we scientifically altered the course of her destiny.
01:10:11She was not aware of it until this very moment.
01:10:15Hercules, there's no need for us to fight.
01:10:19With the aid of Chaos, I have subdued the gods who rebelled against Zeus.
01:10:23Alone, without the full array of his thunderbolts, Zeus is no match for Chaos.
01:10:29The future belongs to Chaos and to science.
01:10:34Join us, Hercules. Come!
01:10:37Never!
01:10:38Very well.
01:10:42Those foolish gods wanted him destroyed instead.
01:10:46I shall use him.
01:10:48Can you imagine? A mankind created in his image, but scientifically programmed.
01:10:55No error.
01:11:00Glossia, my dear.
01:11:04We no longer need you.
01:11:07Get rid of yourself.
01:11:10Get rid of yourself.
01:11:28Excellent. I'm sure, Urania, you know the way.
01:11:34One must accept inevitable defeat.
01:11:37I can only accept it as a challenge, Minos.
01:11:43Very amusing.
01:11:45Very amusing.
01:12:03Zeus!
01:12:04You're viewing my sacred domain, dear Daedalus.
01:12:09I'm simply returning the favor.
01:12:12No, you can do nothing, Zeus.
01:12:14For though you are the light, I am the darkness. Thus we are alike.
01:12:19Except for one thing.
01:12:21I possess time.
01:12:23For I am the son of Cronus.
01:12:28Oh, Father Time!
01:13:12I have failed, Athena, and allowed Minos to trick me.
01:13:21It's yours, Hercules.
01:13:28This shield will protect you from Minos and evil science.
01:13:33But only if you can save yourself.
01:13:36The moon shall crush the earth if Minos has his way.
01:13:39He will sacrifice us all so as to reign in the name of chaos.
01:13:43Hercules, go on to Olympic skies.
01:13:51I've the gods in the palm of my hand.
01:13:54My science has turned pure energy into battling warriors.
01:13:58But we have the greatest warrior of all time, Minos.
01:14:03Suddenly you're for Hercules.
01:14:09We doubt he can change the earth's course.
01:14:12Watch this!
01:14:32Minos!
01:15:02Minos!
01:15:08There's one thing your magic shield won't protect you from, Hercules.
01:15:12Pure energy.
01:15:19Cosmic light.
01:15:26The sun's fire.
01:15:29Take this, Hercules.
01:15:35It is of the same energy, and you shall be infused with it.
01:15:40You are the heart and the force of the universe.
01:15:45Hercules!
01:15:59Minos!
01:16:29Minos!
01:16:59Minos!
01:17:29Minos!
01:17:31Minos!
01:17:33Minos!
01:17:35Minos!
01:17:39Minos!
01:17:41Minos!
01:17:43Minos!
01:17:45Minos!
01:17:47Minos!
01:17:49Minos!
01:17:51Minos!
01:17:59Minos!
01:18:16Minos challenged the universe and the very secret of life.
01:18:21His savagery has been cancelled.
01:18:24The maiden Urania is free, and the goddess Hera has repented.
01:18:30Hercules did what no other man could have done.
01:18:33But danger still lurks in the skies.
01:18:36It could all be resolved by finding the last thunderbolt.
01:18:41The oracles say it was hidden up here, on Olympus.
01:18:45But that's not so. How can the oracles lie?
01:18:49It is here.
01:18:52Your secret was revealed to me.
01:18:55You, Hera, are my mother, and you hid the last thunderbolt within me.
01:19:01In my heart.
01:19:04And I am the final hiding place.
01:19:10You're my mother, Hera.
01:19:14Yes, it's true.
01:19:16I created you from light, and I breathed life into you.
01:19:21I had you formed with beauty and goodness,
01:19:24but only to conceal what was hidden within you.
01:19:27Yet I grew fond of you and often asked myself,
01:19:31Can she...
01:19:33Would she ever feel love for me?
01:19:37And now...
01:19:41And now, Mother, you must do what fate demands of you.
01:19:47I gave you life, my child.
01:19:49I never thought I would have to take it from you.
01:19:52You must.
01:19:53Please don't.
01:19:55Mother, there's little time.
01:19:58But isn't there?
01:19:59Hurry.
01:20:00How else can we save the world, my child?
01:20:04Mother, give me the kiss of death.
01:20:10Oh, love.
01:20:13My beloved daughter.
01:20:39Mother.
01:21:10Mother.
01:21:31Chaos has been defeated.
01:21:33But if another threat arises,
01:21:36the Earth is surely doomed.
01:21:38Can mankind withstand the dangers?
01:21:41Only our fear can defeat us.
01:21:44Man always finds a way to conquer.
01:21:46Not without the gods.
01:21:48But I am here, am I not?
01:21:50How can a man stop the Earth from colliding with the moon?
01:21:54The way Atlantis did at the beginning of time.
01:21:57My newfound powers shall belong to him, Hercules.
01:22:02Grow, Hercules. Grow!
01:22:24Hercules, block the moon.
01:22:28Stop the Earth.
01:22:30Stop the Earth!
01:22:32Save mankind!
01:23:30Stop the Earth!
01:23:33Stop the Earth!
01:23:58Now order is reestablished.
01:24:03Hera.
01:24:04You sacrificed what was dearest to you to save the universe.
01:24:09And so I forgive you.
01:24:11And forgive those gods who had lost faith and rebelled against me.
01:24:16Let peace reign again and forever on Olympus and on Earth.
01:24:21So be it.
01:24:23Forevermore.
01:24:25To reward you for your sacrifice.
01:24:28And Urania for hers.
01:24:31I decree that she become one of the Muses.
01:24:34Granting wisdom from this time on to man and to the gods.
01:24:40Urania, goddess and muse of space.
01:24:44Patron of astrology.
01:24:49And you too, Hercules.
01:24:51Greatest of men and savior of the universe.
01:24:55You too shall dwell among the immortal gods.
01:24:59And the example of your courage will shine in the heavens till the end of time.
01:25:29THE END
01:25:59THE END
01:26:29THE END
01:26:59THE END
01:27:29THE END
