Hercules: The Legendary Journeys s05e21 Episode Script

Looks like you've got a nibble.
Hello.
Anyone home? I said, it looks like you've got a fish.
I'm never gonna be able to thank you enough.
For what? For giving me something to fight for.
I'll never forget you.
lolaus! Huh? Hey! I got it! I got I got it! Thinking about Nautica, huh? Yeah.
It's this place the place we first met.
Everywhere I look, I see her.
Nothing like that ever happens to you.
You'd be surprised.
- Leave him alone! - Says who? Uh, says him and me! Okay, guys, look.
We can do this the hard way or the easy way.
What's so hard about kicking his butt? Nobody ever wants to do it the easy way.
Get him! Ha! I think I'm getting good at this! Well, practice makes perfect.
And here comes more practice.
Hey! What did I say when we tied up here this morning? Huh? What did I say? You're lucky.
We're here to celebrate, not make trouble.
Does this look like a celebration to you? Huh? Does it? Shut up! Friends! Mine! Move over! I was here first! Strangers.
Friends and strangers.
My name's Lysaka, and I'm getting married today.
And I'm gonna throw the biggest wedding party that this seaport has ever seen! There's gonna be There's gonna be drinks! And-And-And And food and drinks! Hey.
What can I say? I'm just a guy in love.
This guy knows how to make friends fast.
Yeah.
Must be his charismatic personality.
Tell me, Hercules, why would a woman want to marry a slob like that? I don't know, but she must be pretty desperate.
Hey, sweetie.
Come on out and give 'em a thrill, huh? Don't be shy, honey-nubs.
Look but don't touch.
She looks familiar.
She's all mine.
What a catch! Nautica! This is the story of a time long ago, a time of myth and legend, when the ancient gods were petty and cruel, and they plagued mankind with suffering.
Only one man dared to challenge their power Hercules.
Hercules possessed a strength the world had never seen, a strength surpassed only by the power of his heart.
He journeyed the earth, battling the minions of his wicked stepmother, Hera, the all-powerful queen of the gods.
But wherever there was evil, wherever an innocent would suffer, there would be Hercules.
Hail! Nautica! Nautica, wait! Hey, hey, hey! But I've got to talk to her! That's my fianc?e you're ogling, pal.
You don't understand.
That woman, she's So beautiful it's hard to believe she's real.
You're one lucky man.
Congratulations.
Can I have a word with you? Yeah, but Yeah, great.
See ya.
Looks just like your sister, doesn't she? No, Herc.
That's I love her and she loves me.
Then why'd she run away when she saw you? After all, she was a mermaid, right? Right.
So where's her tail? In storage? And what about Poseidon's command that Nautica's heart warms the seas? If's she's here to marry Lysaka, why haven't the oceans frozen over? El Nino? You're not being very helpful here, you know? All right.
I'll bet you she's around here somewhere.
Who? If anyone knows why Nautica's marrying Lysaka, it's my sister.
Oh! Besides, she's always been a sucker for weddings.
Oh, not your sister! Hercules, no! Hercules! Hercules! Hercules! She's gonna spoil everything.
Hi, little bro.
Hi, Aphrodite.
Oh, you poor, dear, sweet little loser! Tsk.
What you must be going through! Come to goddess, baby.
No Shh.
Actually, it is kind of comforting.
I, uh, guess you know why we're here to talk.
Nautica and Lysaka.
It's just so tragic! I haven't stopped sobbing in days! Are my eyes puffy? What about my cheeks? Are they flushed? Splotchy? I must look like a wreck! Aphrodite? About Nautica? I- I dropped in on her a few times, but she was so sad I just couldn't bear to watch her anymore.
You know? A girl can only take so much heartbreak.
Yeah, I can imagine.
Wait a second.
This is the love of my life we're talking about.
Why did she end up with a slug like Lysaka? Well, a few days ago, the Sirens called me to Triton's Cave.
I need your help, Aphrodite.
Nautica, honey! You know I'll do whatever.
Just ask.
Give me legs.
I'm getting married.
So, of course I thought she was talking about you.
- But, no.
It's this other guy.
- What about Poseidon's command? Well, she asked me to have a talk with him.
So I said, "Psiedy," I asked, "Isn't there something you can do so that the seas won't freeze without her?" And he thought about it, and then he Aphrodite? The, uh, short version.
Well, the short version is, underneath all those scales, Psiedy is not nearly as tough as he looks.
And I am his favorite niece, so I got him to lift the decree.
Well, how come she's still with Lysaka? And if she wanted your help, why didn't she ask for it when she fell in love with me? - She wouldn't tell me.
- Uh Maybe we should talk to her father.
Triton? Yeah.
I mean, he's not here.
What father misses his own daughter's wedding? Come to think of it, he hasn't been here for any of this.
All right.
You stall the wedding, and I'll, uh, I'll go find him.
- And I'll help Curly.
- He can handle it.
Don't be silly! It'll be fun! "Fun.
" Well, it's not the word I would've used.
Come on.
Move it.
You gonna eat that all by yourself, pal? Go.
Keep moving.
Keep going.
Come on.
Gotta hand it to you, Aphrodite.
Some of your ideas do work.
Of course! And when you're with Nautica, you'll revert back to your normal self.
Go get 'em, Curly! Aphrodite Aphrodite! What's the matter, sweetheart? The bad man take it? Havin' fun, little lady? Excuse me.
Is this a private party, or can anyone join in? Serena.
Feeling better? Oh, well, this must be yours, huh? - What do we say, honey? - Thank you, Mommy.
No, not me.
We have to thank the nice man.
- Thank you, sir.
- Hey, why don't you help Daddy pack a lunch for our picnic? There you are.
Well, thank you again.
Hey! Are you ready for a picnic? Another time, another life.
My name's Serena.
I'm Hercules.
It's nice to meet you, Serena.
Hercules.
Son of Zeus Hercules? You're blushing! I've embarrassed you.
I'm sorry.
No, no.
It's-It's not that.
It's just that you remind me of someone I know.
I hope that's a good thing.
Yeah, yeah.
It's It's a good thing.
What are you doing so far from home? How did you know I was far from home? Your-Your boots.
They look like they've been on the road for a while.
Well, I have been traveling for a couple days now.
My husband was lost at sea two moons ago.
An oracle told me he's still alive, but if I want to see him again, I have to petition Triton.
Do the gods hear our prayers? They hear, but they don't always listen.
Our daughter needs her father.
I can't just give up not while there's a chance we might still be together again.
Can you understand that? You have no idea how much.
Listen, I'm on my way to see Triton's shrine myself.
We could travel together you know, just for the company.
You see? I was right.
About what? My luckischanging for the better.
They should really make these doorways a lot bigger.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Whatever.
Uh, which is Nautica's room? That one.
I can handle it from here.
- Ingrate! - What'd I say? Go away.
Nautica, it's me.
I thought you'd forgotten me.
I thought you'd forgotten me.
I never want to leave you.
Oh, I never want you to leave me again either.
Quick, let's slip over the side.
We'll swim to the dock, and we'll be gone before he even notices.
lolaus, I can't go with you.
Why not? I just I just can't.
Sweetums, it's your huggy bear! If he finds you in here, he'll kill both of us.
Aphrodite? Aphrodite! I'm not talking to you.
A goddess has feelings, too, you know.
Gonna count to three! One, two Uh, two Uh, Aphrodite, I'm really sorry.
I'm really, really, really sorry.
I was wrong.
But we've got an emergency here! I didn't hear "please.
" Please.
Two Quick! Ready or not, here I come! Who in Tartarus are you? Mmm, why, you, uh, you silly muffin, I'm her seamstress.
And don't you know it's bad luck to see the bride afore the weddin'? Now, you get yourself out of here.
You go on.
Shoo, now.
Go on.
Sorry.
I-I didn't know it.
Hey.
I don't remember you coming on board.
Because you've been so busy supervising the wedding party all by yourself, you poor man.
Why don't I give you a hand? Thank you for all your help.
Now, when you're done, please go home.
- She still loves me.
- Of course she does, 'cause you're so cute! Yeah, but why's she gonna marry that creep? Oh.
Leave it to me.
Oh.
I knew you were gonna say that.
I'm good.
I thought you were helping lolaus.
I gave him a wonderful disguise, and now he's on his own.
You know, Curly's developed a real attitude problem.
Good for him.
What's with you? You're acting funny.
Why do I feel like I know that girl? In another life, she was my wife.
We ask the force that created the sun, the earth, the seas and the skies To bless this union, make us one, inseparate, always.
Always.
Enough! Please stop.
I'm fragile enough as it is dealing with lolaus and his lost love.
- Does she know? - No.
And she isn't going to know.
What about Triton? Have you talked to him? I was just heading down to his cave.
Okay, well, let's take the shortcut.
How did a girl like you end up with a guy like me, huh? Blackmail.
And a great sense of humor too! That's why I love her.
Where's the priest? Somebody get me the priest, or I'll dice the lot of ya! The priest's on his way from the temple.
He should be here by sundown.
Sundown? That's when the fun really begins.
Huh, sugar toes? I'm hungry.
Where's the food? Over here! Coming! A feast extraordinaire preparer aa la table for your dining pleasure.
Who are you? Who am I? Je suis Lescopierus, your savior.
I mean, your server this evening.
Mon sp?cialit?, c'est le bifteck Tartarus et I'octopus Spartan.
Served diced.
And with just a little dash of spice to make it nice.
And when I say that, I mean just that.
Nothing more, nor less.
A dash.
Just a little splash! So that everything can swim in its own flavor.
You're making me dizzy.
Let us jump into a whole new world of taste as we escape the boring recipes - of zee past.
- Huh? Oops.
Wish I could do that.
It'd save me a lot of time.
Was it this dark the last time you were here? Hmm-mm.
Something's wrong.
Very wrong.
Triton! It's Hercules! I'm here about your daughter, Nautica.
Nautica? Cousin? Here.
Let me help.
No one can help me.
I'm I'm dying.
Y- You can't die.
You're a god.
My trident was my source of power, given to me by my father, Poseidon.
Half a moon past, it was stolen by a mortal.
- Lysaka.
- You know his name.
He took your trident.
That's why Nautica agreed to marry him.
I ordered her to refuse, but Nautica's a headstrong girl.
She thinks if she gives Lysaka what he wants, he'll return what he stole, but he can't.
- Why not? - When the Cabiri made the trident, she also made certain its power would be lost in mortal hands.
Well, then I'll just go get it back.
There's no point.
It's useless now.
But If-If he can't use it, then what good is it to him? Nautica doesn't know that.
She thinks if she stays with him, it'll save my life.
She's giving herself to him for no reason.
Then either way you die.
And if the seas die with you, so does mankind.
If Triton dies, the seas die with him? The Cabiri made one trident.
I'll ask her to make another.
Uh, bro, no one asks the Cabiri for anything.
Not even the gods.
She's She's, like, a force of nature.
You can't even talk to her.
She'll talk to me.
Don't break your heart, little brother.
Thanks.
I'm done here.
Now I just have to wait and see if luck is on my side.
Let's make our own luck.
I don't understand.
There's a place.
It's not far from here.
An ancient ruin.
What's there? The Cabiri.
It's a spirit.
Some people think she was here before the gods were born.
I always thought the Cabiri was a fable.
No.
With her help, maybe we can get Triton to answer your prayer.
Hey, um, why are you being so nice to me? Part of the job.
It's what I do.
No, really.
That person I told you about the one that I said you remind me of I loved her more than I ever thought I could love anybody.
But Well, let's just say fate was against us.
I always thought we create our own destiny.
Yeah.
Hey, we, uh, better hurry.
Come on.
I leave you alone, and look at what happens.
Aphrodite, don't.
I'm not in the mood.
The love of my life is marrying a thug, and I can't stop it.
Why won't she let me help her? I'll tell you, but you're not gonna like it.
Legend says the Cabiri is an ally of Hephaestus.
But not even Hephaestus knows where she comes from.
Nobody knows what she wants from the world or if she wants anything at all.
What? No, nothing.
No.
Come on.
What? Well, this is gonna sound crazy, but when I look at you, I get the feeling I know you.
Uh You'd be surprised how often I get that.
You probably saw me passing through town.
I do a lot of traveling.
No, I don't mean I've just seen you before.
I feel like we used to really know each other.
But that's not possible, is it? It's ridiculous.
I can't explain it.
You don't You don't have to explain it.
I feel the same way.
Well, you know, it's the mind.
It's a funny thing.
Look out! I wish I could change your mind.
You can't.
I, um, had to give that back to you, so you could give it to me at our wedding.
You mean, yes? Yes? I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have done that.
I think we both did it.
I don't know what to say.
Maybe I should go the rest of the way alone.
Yes.
I suppose you should.
I don't want to risk you getting hurt.
I'll wait here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's a good idea.
I'll be back.
Don't worry.
You'll be safe.
She'll want to pick on me.
I'm glad she's in a good mood.
You told lolaus about Triton? Yeah.
He's stalling.
Let's go play! You never did have any manners! Who's the best man? Obviously not the groom.
You promise when this is over, you'll give back my father's trident.
Sure, sure.
Whatever.
Be all the family, right, sluggums? Mogo.
Ah, wait, wait, wait.
Show some respect.
It is Oh.
What h-h-h-h Now, then, which are the two who are getting married? Uh, we are Me and her Us.
Shut up.
Now, we are gathered here to witness the union Uh, where are they? Huh? Huh? Oh, help me! Oh, help me! Uh, you all right? It's me.
lolaus? You've gotta get out of here! He'll kill you! I know about the deal you made, Nautica.
Lysaka lied.
He can't give your father's trident back.
It's destroyed.
What? Yeah.
Uh, follow my lead.
Hey, are you gonna marry us or what? Patience is a virtue, young man.
Okay.
Now, good people, marriage is an institution long blessed by the gods and not to be entered into lightly or unwisely or unprepared.
Are you prepared, young man? Uh, yeah.
Yeah! Yeah! Let's go! And what about you, young miss? Do you have any questions? Uh, yes, actually.
I I do have a few questions I- I'd like to ask you alone.
See? Me and her, alone.
Oh! Got to go and answer the questions.
Where are they going Stop 'em! You're the okula from this morning.
And-And the cook.
You were the cook too! And the seamstress.
That's it.
String him up! You kill him, you'll have to kill me too! Huh? Why? Because he's the man I love.
No.
No, no I'm the man you love.
I- I thought we had a deal.
Yeah, we had a deal.
You lied to me.
Only 'cause I loved you so.
I thought you loved me too.
If you truly love me, Lysaka, then you'll let us be together.
Okay, if if-if that's the way you feel.
Hang 'em both.
I told you this was useless! Cabiri doesn't talk to anyone.
Maybe nobody's ever asked the right way.
What are you doing? Rearranging the furniture.
Bro, you're upset.
This is Cabiri, an ancient spirit here before the gods were born.
I'm gonna knock this whole place flat unless you show yourself to me! Why are you doing this? For lolaus and Nautica? I mean, I'm as much of a romantic as the next Goddess of Love, but let's get a little perspective here! It's not just lolaus.
It's her.
Two down.
Going for three! You're doing this for her.
I'm doing this for me.
Number four, coming up! Talk to me! I said, talk to me! I know why you're here, Hercules.
You want me to make a new trident to save the sea lord's life.
What matter is his life to you? You're no friend of the gods.
But I am a friend of mortals.
Without your help, the seas will die and so will mankind.
And if you won't do it for mankind, then help us in the name of love.
Love? If Triton lives, his daughter will be free to marry the man she truly loves, and a woman I know will find her husband.
I knew it.
You ask my help in the name of love? That's right.
The woman you speak of in another life, she was yours.
Wouldn't it be better for you if her husband never returned? Don't you miss her? It's a bargain I made with fate.
I used the Kronos Stone to save her.
It's my heart for her life.
So be it.
Huh.
Here you go.
I'll take this to Triton.
Yeah, just tell him to make sure that Serena's husband reaches home.
And you talk to her.
Tell her what she means to you.
Okay.
Okay.
I will.
Hi.
Oh, thank the gods.
That lightning and the noise I thought I'd never see you again.
You were right.
Luck was on our side today.
You can go home now.
Home? Yeah.
You'll find your husband waiting for you when you get there.
Really? Triton will live and send your husband back to you.
I'm sure of it.
Thank you.
Like I said, it's part of the job description.
No.
Thank you.
Good-bye.
What are you grinnin' about, huh? In three seconds' time.
you're gonna be dancin' on air! With no music, neither.
- You wouldn't understand.
- Try me.
We're together.
And nothing's ever gonna keep us apart again.
Nautica? Yes, lolaus.
Will you marry me? Oh, yes, lolaus! That's enough! On the count of three, hoist 'em! One, two Don't tell me.
I- I know this.
Two Huh? Hey, Lysaka.
Haven't you ever heard that it's bad luck to hang the bride on her wedding day? Sorry I'm late.
You know, after the day I've had, I'm actually looking forward to this.
Guess this isn't your lucky day.
lolaus, I can't leave you.
You can't stay.
Don't you want me? More than anything.
But in this world, you'll just be a fish out of water.
I- I didn't mean I wouldn't care.
You would.
Sooner or later.
You'll begin to dream of everybody and everything you left behind.
No.
I know how hard it is to leave the only world you've ever known.
It's like It's like tearing yourself in two.
You'll come to regret that.
And I couldn't stand that.
We both know your place is under the sea.
But you promised you'd never leave me again.
lolaus, how much do you love Nautica? I'd give up the world for her.
Good.
That's what I had in mind.
Hercules, uh, spending these last few months with you has has meant more to me than my entire life in the other world.
You're the best friend I ever had.
I'm gonna miss you, lolaus.
I'll see ya around.
Yeah.
Uh, be good.
Listen to me telling you to be good.
And you, uh you take care of her.
You're one lucky man.
I will.
And I am.
Thanks, guys.
Are you sure this is gonna work? Yes.
Once you're away from the shore, you'll be halfway through the change.
And your dad is gonna be very glad to see you.
Trust me.
I hate it when you say that.
Whoo! Whoo-hoo! It's hard to say good-bye.
Gets harder every time.
