Young Hercules (1998) s01e38 Episode Script

Me, Myself and Eye

Hades, god of the underworld.
Gaia, mother of the earth.
Neptune, god of the sea.
Nike, winged goddess of victory.
And can anyone tell me who this one is? It's Zeus, king of the gods.
Oh, really? And how would you know that, Jason? Because he's holding a lightning bolt.
Correct again, Jason.
Oh, wow.
Correct again, correct again.
Oh, great.
Come on, Cheiron.
Who really knows what Zeus looks like anyway? What, because of that statue? What, please.
It's a copy of a copy of a copy.
Besides, what kind of sculptor did Zeus ever sit for? Great artists learn to see without just using their eyes.
That's all for today, class.
Hercules, you stay.
I'd like a word with you.
Oh! That's not nice.
So, Cheiron just talked to you and that's it? Ah, he just gave me the statue to look at.
The thing is, everybody's teaching painting and sculpting Zeus, and think that they know him, but I don't even know him and he's my father.
Hercules we hear what you're saying, but you have to let it go.
Just let it go.
Come on, we'll take the shortcut to Kora's.
Come on.
Come on, buddy.
Three boys.
No weapons.
Let me look! Handsome little hunks, aren't they? They could be bandits, savages here to rob us.
Oh, there's something immortal about that mortal.
Oh! And that one has royal blood running through his veins.
Oh! And that one What about him? What do you see? Oh, not much.
Oh, let me look.
I never look! - Oh! - Let me see again! You fools! Shh! Before they come up here and do us in Hercules, hey.
Let it go.
Last one to Kora's is a hind's hind.
I'm gonna be first! An eyeball.
Gift around the time of your birth.
Hanson rules, Richard.
Yeah! Goodbye.
I wonder if they're here for the special.
What special? The Jason and lolaus special.
Oh, man, I'm thirsty.
Hey, pst, hey.
That pretty one's looking at me.
Dream on! I'm I'm Jason of Corinth.
You're lolaus of nothing, see? Sh, don't look, don't look.
Okay, look, look now, quick, see? Ah.
She looked at me.
Nice move, guy.
Jerk.
Do you wanna bet a denar she's not looking at me? Ow! Yeah, at me.
Hello.
Yeah, at me.
She's waving at me.
What's that? Oh, it's nothing.
Hey, you guys go ahead and order, okay? I gotta have dinner at my mother's.
Thanks for inviting us.
Yeah, buddy.
I wonder if I could see the gods with this.
Maybe even my father.
In an age of light and darkness, Zeus, king of the gods, ruled the universe.
He had a son, Young Hercules.
Half-god, half-man.
Young Hercules longs to find his place in the world, the father he's never known, and what it means to be a hero.
Before the man became legend, before the legend became myth, came the greatest adventure of all I'll never see again or love again.
You want some cheese to go with that whine? Put a cork in it, sister.
Oh, we can't see.
How will we walk or, or, or find food? Then let's take care of our problem.
We start by asking Artemis for a little help nailing that half-god excuse of a boy who walked off with our eye! Are you nuts? You know Zeus prevents an attack on that one.
I know we can't touch the boy.
It's his friends we're after.
Hit them hard.
And he'll come back to us quicker than prune juice through a Seder.
Artemis' powers are too strong for his mortal friends.
Oh, they'll be hurt! That's the idea, sisters.
That's the idea.
So, Mom Do you remember what kind of clothes Zeus wore? You know? Or, I mean, his haircut? Or maybe even his shoes? So, that's it? More questions about your father? I knew there had to be a reason you came all this way.
Come on.
You must have something of his, you know? Something I could take a look at? Hercules, you know Zeus left nothing behind, except a wonderful son.
Now, how about some help with these dishes? Hm.
Fine then.
Show him to me.
You're the only one that can.
We seek with the eyes and ears of Artemis, goddess of the hunt.
The plants and animals of the forest will find the one who would be king and make him A pig.
Pig, why not? You Deino, wretchedly good! It's a gift.
And, and I have the perfect cursing for the one with the hair.
I'll kiss him till he faints in my arms, and then I'll kiss him some more.
Please, you're making me feel ill! No, no, the cursing for the shaggy one is Be it weed or flower, whatever plants he destroys will do the same to him! I like it.
Nice touch.
Good one, sis.
It's a gift.
Find the one who would be king and make him A pig.
Oh, man, I need more sleep.
For a minute I thought you were - Oh! - Huh? Ja-Jason, you're a You're a boar.
Yeah, well, you snore in your sleep.
No, no, no, you're a boar.
As in, like, a pig.
Wh-what happened? What happened to me? I don't know.
I can't I can't let anybody see me like this.
I'm the crowned prince of Corinth.
Now you're the crown pork of Corinth.
Hey, hey, hey.
Very funny.
Stop laughing and start helping.
You're gonna eat that? No.
That was fresh! I need slop! I need slop! Must have slop! Must have slop! This worries me for several reasons.
Keep it coming, boy.
I love slop.
Breakfast is served.
Okay, now, I'm gonna go out back and get some more slop.
Stay here, don't go anywhere.
Okay, you got it? Oh! I'm off to the market now.
If you get hungry, there's leftover moussaka and what are you staring at? This necklace, actually.
Um you've had it ever since I can remember, but I can't seem to remember when you got it.
That old thing? A gift.
Around the time of your birth.
Oh.
Why? No reason.
Fine.
Come on, you said you'd walk me to the crossroads.
Hey, uh, Jason Jason? Jason! Here, piggy, piggy, piggy, piggy.
Uh-oh.
Hey, come back here! That's my lunch! Stop him! Oh, no.
Okay.
Let's see if daddy's home.
I swear he looks like one of those academy wimps.
He's got my lunch! Go that way, cut him off! It's me, Jason! Come on! Show me something I can see! Hey, relax, it's me.
It's Jason, I swear.
Jason.
The eye was right.
Wa-wait a second, who did this to you? I don't know, it just happened! One minute I'm eating breakfast with lolaus, the next I'm eating slop! By the way, you got any? Oh! I like this.
Yummy.
No! No! Yowza! Come here.
Give it to me! I need it! Bring the beast out or we're coming in! Oh, get off! Get back here! Come here, sooey.
No escape, swiney.
Boys, grab the beast.
He's getting away! Go on, get him! Get him! Jason, I need the eye, okay? Get the piggy! Go! Jason! Split up, you three go that way.
We'll flank him on the right.
Attack him now, all things that grow.
Pines and branches, lay him low! He's over here somewhere.
I think I smell him.
Jason, run! That way.
I need that eye.
What eye? Don't play dumb with me! You swallowed my eye! I swallowed an eye? That's gross.
Hey, Melotheum and his gang are after me! Jason! Goner.
Keep looking.
Nobody messes with my friend.
Oh! It's nothing.
Oh! There they are.
We couldn't find him anywhere.
So, where's the oinker? I don't know.
We've been fooled.
Go back, go back.
Jason.
I think that we lost them, okay? Now, this is gonna hurt me more than it hurts you.
Hercules, I'm gonna be sick.
That's the idea.
Thanks.
I think.
Hey, porky.
Why don't you just leave him alone? The smelly beast ate my food.
Why don't you just skip back to your fancy academy and let us take care of bacon boy.
Thanks.
You all right? All right.
Help! Iolaus! What? Iolaus.
Oh, lolaus.
Herc.
Hercules, Jason.
Help me.
You gotta get me out of here.
Wait, wait, wait, don't touch the branch, don't touch the branch.
Oh.
I guess it's okay then.
Keep away from plants, okay? Hey, hey, what's in your pouch? Oh, it's nothing.
No, no, come on, what's in your pouch? It's nothing.
No, no, come on, tell us what's in your pouch.
Come on, come here.
It's an eye, get the eye, lolaus.
It's an eye! - Ah.
- Give it back! Oh.
Yeah, now, hang on, hang on.
First of all, ew! And second of all, there is something fishy going on here, and I'm gonna bet it has something to do with this eye.
Now, Jason is a boar and I keep getting harassed by foliage.
So, why isn't anything happening to you? Just lucky, I guess.
Can I have it back? No.
No.
All right.
It sees things.
Sees things? Yeah, exactly, what kind of things? Nothing, I I saw that the bus boy at Kora's was gonna drop his tray, that's it.
And? And I saw that you were gonna be attacked by plants.
Now, can I have it back? And And I guess that I knew that Jason was gonna become a boar.
Oh! Anything else? I guess that I saw something when I pointed it at the bluff when I found it.
We better go back.
And now we ask Artemis to return these boys to their rightful form.
Oh.
I guess I'm okay.
Come on, porky, you're next.
Ew, what was I eating? That's disgusting.
Uh, heh.
Hi.
Well what do I say? Sorry about stealing your eye.
It's I just wanted to see my father.
Yeah, yeah, shut your pie hole.
Oh.
You see what happens.
You steal and he squeals.
Yeah.
Beware of what you seek to see.
You never know what may happen when you try to look into the future.
We've been using this eye for a long time now, but you don't need it.
You got good friends here who care about you.
You don't need anyone's eye but your own to see that.
Come on, sis.
Take me home.
Oh, give me something to see with.
Goodbye.
Well, what's it like seeing into the future? Um creepy.
Hey, Jason.
You think they'd let us have a turn? Oh, lolaus, just think about it this way Do you really wanna see into your future? Not really.
No, okay.
Hey, we could point the eye at Kora.
I could watch visions of her all day.
You do that already, lolaus.
Oh, right.
