00:00:51Emilius the Mighty, the Goliath of Thebes,
00:00:57lived in the days when men worshipped strange pagan gods,
00:01:01believing in their magical powers with unshakable faith.
00:01:06Legend has it that Goliath served the god of vengeance
00:01:10and the goddess of the four winds.
00:01:13In return for his devotion, he was said to be favored with immortality.
00:01:18He would never know death at the hands of any mortal.
00:01:23Goliath was held in awe by his friends and enemies alike.
00:01:27Only one man, Eurytus, the tyrant of Ocalia,
00:01:31did not believe in Goliath's power to escape death.
00:01:35Determined to slay him and seize Goliath's powerful kingdom of Thebes,
00:01:40Eurytus had stolen the precious blood diamond
00:01:43belonging to the god of vengeance and hid it in the cave of horrors.
00:01:49After many months of searching, Goliath found the fearsome cave
00:01:54and, unafraid, entered it to fulfill his vow to return the blood diamond to his god.
00:02:01THE CAVE OF HORRORS
00:02:31THE CAVE OF HORRORS
00:03:01THE CAVE OF HORRORS
00:03:31THE CAVE OF HORRORS
00:04:02Goliath will not return from my cave.
00:04:07No one is mighty enough to try to overcome the dragon that I placed there.
00:04:12No, he won't return.
00:04:15And Thebes, without Goliath, is nothing.
00:04:18I'll vouch for it. You're my word.
00:04:21Thebes will fall without a fight.
00:04:24Eunomius, what do you say?
00:04:27Mighty Eurytus, give me proof of his death.
00:04:30It is said Goliath dies when his gods will it, so I want proof.
00:04:33Silence, I've heard enough.
00:04:35Manetis, do you hesitate too?
00:04:38If the man's death is proved.
00:04:40If, if, if.
00:04:43I didn't send for you to listen to your doubts and fears.
00:04:46I want an honest answer.
00:04:48Tell me if you and you and you, Timocles of Megara,
00:04:51fight by my side against the Thebans.
00:04:53Every man here is your faithful ally.
00:04:56But Megaran walls are liable to fall.
00:04:59Unlike yours which are attacked in war so often.
00:05:02Those of Megara are not too strong and our men cower.
00:05:05They tremble at the thought of Goliath.
00:05:07Goliath, a dead man.
00:05:09They fear the vengeance of a dead man.
00:05:29Megara.
00:05:59No, Goliath.
00:06:22Yours is a greater mission.
00:06:25The blood gem.
00:06:27Return the gem of blood.
00:06:29I will be back.
00:06:50This way, Ulysses.
00:06:52An hour from now the guard will be changed.
00:06:54Be back before then if you value your life.
00:07:04Now's the moment to strike.
00:07:08The dragon has killed Goliath and Thebes is without a leader.
00:07:11At the first attack we can breach the walls.
00:07:15He's arrived, Ulysses.
00:07:19I need time to reflect, Ulysses.
00:07:22Tomorrow you'll have my answer.
00:07:23And mine.
00:07:24And mine.
00:07:25Tomorrow, Ulysses.
00:07:26All right.
00:07:27I must wait until tomorrow, that's all.
00:07:30My cook grows impatient.
00:07:31Let's begin the feast now.
00:07:46Freya.
00:07:48Ulysses.
00:07:51Ulysses.
00:08:00Ulysses, we mustn't do this.
00:08:02You might be found.
00:08:03It's dangerous.
00:08:06The brother of Goliath knows no fear.
00:08:08But why do we always have to meet secretly?
00:08:10We're not criminals.
00:08:15Goliath doesn't want me to come here.
00:08:20He's forbidden it, as you know.
00:08:23But how else can we manage to meet?
00:08:27I want nothing to happen to my darling.
00:08:33Someday I'll go away with you, Ulysses.
00:08:37Yes, Freya.
00:08:38Come with me tonight.
00:08:40No, Ulysses, no.
00:08:42Not tonight.
00:08:43It isn't possible.
00:08:44There are so many armed men here.
00:08:46I will have to send word when the time has come.
00:08:48Keep your promise, Thea, and soon.
00:08:57This is a pledge to our next meeting.
00:08:59Yes, Ulysses.
00:09:01Whenever you can, send me my ring.
00:09:04I'll get here, Thea.
00:09:06Either day or night.
00:09:36No!
00:09:37No!
00:10:06Tinda, you saw the man's signal?
00:10:34You did well, little sister.
00:10:36See how your master shows his pleasure.
00:10:38The brother of his hated rival is a great prize.
00:10:41He will enjoy boasting about it.
00:10:44Why not see Thea and make sure our little pigeon doesn't guess anything?
00:10:48You've always been a bad influence on me, Tinda.
00:10:51I do it for one reason.
00:10:52To carry out the wishes of Eurytus.
00:10:57It's a pity.
00:10:59I don't want to betray her.
00:11:01Thea trusted me.
00:11:03And I may be breaking her heart.
00:11:06My dear, do you have any feelings left?
00:11:10Go on.
00:11:23I hear voices outside, Thea.
00:11:25You must go, please.
00:11:26Don't forget the ring now.
00:11:27The signal.
00:11:28Yes.
00:11:37Don't worry, dear.
00:11:39You still have your loyal Ismene.
00:11:41If Eurytus suspected I helped you two meet here, I'd be killed at once.
00:11:45Help me, Ismene.
00:11:47Do you think I can talk to Eurytus?
00:11:50If only I can.
00:11:51Maybe somehow I could convince him to change his mind.
00:12:19Don't waste your time struggling.
00:12:44What's the use?
00:12:45You'll never get out.
00:12:48Leave the net on him.
00:12:49It'll calm him down a bit.
00:12:50He'll be more reasonable in the morning.
00:13:17Tell me.
00:13:39If I prove to you that Goliath is really dead, will you join forces with us against Thebes?
00:13:46All right.
00:13:47To prove it, there's a spectacle set for tomorrow.
00:13:49Attend the festivities, if you will, and see me execute our young friend, Illus.
00:13:55You'd kill Goliath's brother?
00:13:57Well, since the dragon's taken care of Goliath, then I'll take care of Illus.
00:14:04And together we'll take Thebes.
00:14:06I'm with you, mighty Eurytus.
00:14:07And Messina will march too.
00:14:08And Philae will be with you.
00:14:09And the men of Canis will go with you.
00:14:15And your men, Timocrates.
00:14:16I always count on you.
00:14:19I grow old, Eurytus.
00:14:21The old warrior is weary.
00:14:23And with age, each decision takes a bit longer.
00:14:46Remember this maiden?
00:14:52Her father was my ally.
00:14:54Stubborn and weak-minded.
00:14:57I changed that by burning his city.
00:15:03Now she's my slave.
00:15:05Now I present a sign of friendship.
00:15:12Behold this model of the city of Thebes.
00:15:14A symbol of the prize we all long to possess.
00:15:26Here.
00:15:27It's for you.
00:15:30Thebes, eh?
00:15:33A symbol.
00:15:34Just a reminder.
00:15:35Pretty.
00:15:39Eurytus, your offer rouses an old man's hope.
00:15:42However, I must admit I'm refusing you.
00:15:46Your dream is to take Thebes.
00:15:48Not mine.
00:15:51I'll send away.
00:15:53Don't leave.
00:15:55I could have you set free to begin a new life.
00:15:57You'd treat me nicer.
00:15:59But you know I'd rather stay a slave to Eurytus
00:16:01and be able to hate you.
00:16:03I prefer that at any price.
00:16:11With Megaron Palace at my side,
00:16:13I know we can easily subdue Thebes.
00:16:16With Goliath gone,
00:16:18you've got a hungry jailer in those cabins.
00:16:21That dragon.
00:16:23That's right.
00:16:24No one can stop us.
00:16:26Timocles!
00:16:29Timocles!
00:16:31Messenger, what is it you brought us?
00:16:32News from Megara?
00:16:33No, my lord.
00:16:34News of great import.
00:16:37Not Goliath?
00:16:39Yes, my lord.
00:16:40Rumor is spreading through the countryside.
00:16:42Goliath has succeeded in evading the dragon
00:16:44and seeks to gain his revenge.
00:16:46He goes to the temple of the god of vengeance
00:16:48with a blood diamond
00:16:49that is a token of its strength and power.
00:17:02Cowards.
00:17:04Traitors and deserters.
00:17:06Well, I don't need you.
00:17:08Tomorrow in the public square I'll execute Illus.
00:17:11You think Goliath can frighten Eurytus?
00:17:14The best thing for you to do
00:17:15is not to execute Illus at all.
00:17:23Let's say Illus escaped tonight.
00:17:27That's crazy.
00:17:28You mean you're afraid like the rest of them?
00:17:30No, Eurytus.
00:17:31I just use my wits.
00:17:33But you don't depend on your brains.
00:17:36You're only a mass of fat and muscle
00:17:38full of violence and brutality.
00:17:40Stop!
00:17:57Do you have a plan or any suggestions?
00:18:05Go on.
00:18:06Why not finish?
00:18:09Then tell me, Eurytus,
00:18:10what is it that directs the lives of men?
00:18:14Destiny.
00:18:15No.
00:18:16Not destiny.
00:18:18It's their own interests.
00:18:21A man's desires may alter the course of his life.
00:18:25But once they end,
00:18:26thus was driven into our hands.
00:18:29And Alcinoe?
00:18:31What is it that drives her?
00:18:35Alcinoe wants liberty.
00:18:39Why not use your head then
00:18:40and make a little bargain with her?
00:18:54Who is it?
00:18:55Don't make any noise.
00:18:56It's Alcinoe to help you escape.
00:18:58The guards will let you go.
00:18:59I've paid them well.
00:19:02Why are you doing this?
00:19:04Because Thea is kind and has a good friend in me.
00:19:07They mean to execute you tomorrow.
00:19:09Eurytus has plans regarding Thea Illus.
00:19:16Thea?
00:19:18What plans?
00:19:20Eurytus desires to placate Goliath
00:19:22so that he may make a truce with the Thebans.
00:19:25But Goliath proposes one condition.
00:19:28He wants Thea.
00:19:34Goliath and Thea, you lie!
00:19:36Why would I lie to you, Illus?
00:19:42Forgive me.
00:19:43I shouldn't have done that.
00:19:45Thea is so young and pretty.
00:19:48If you swear it's the truth,
00:19:51I promise I'll forget he's my brother.
00:19:53Do nothing.
00:19:54You'll make it worse.
00:19:55I can only warn you not to speak of this to your brother for Thea's sake.
00:19:58Above all, don't let yourself be caught in Ocalia.
00:20:01But...
00:20:02It's the best thing to do.
00:20:03Go, Illus.
00:20:04Later I promise to find a way to get to you
00:20:06and tell you what to do for Thea.
00:20:09I'll find a way.
00:20:10There's time yet.
00:20:12Better hurry though.
00:20:32O God of vengeance,
00:20:34first will you accept my thanks.
00:20:37Here is the blood diamond
00:20:39and now will you free me forever for I seek peace.
00:21:10Hail Goliath.
00:21:15You have served your gods well and fulfilled your vow.
00:21:18You are free now to do as you will.
00:21:20You mean I'm released from my tasks?
00:21:23Yes, Goliath. You have that right.
00:21:25The gods too keep their vows.
00:21:27From now on you may do all you may desire.
00:21:30Then I can stay with my wife and family.
00:21:33Now I'll be a man amongst men.
00:21:35Can you tell me one thing, please?
00:21:38Perhaps, ask.
00:21:40Thea and my brother Illus, what of them?
00:21:44That riddle has no answer.
00:22:06Goliath, my friend, the gods be with you.
00:22:08May I be the first to embrace you.
00:22:10All Thebes has offered sacrifices for your return.
00:22:13I needed their prayers.
00:22:14Death was never so close to me before.
00:22:16I'm riding with you all the way to your house.
00:22:18I want to see the happiness on the faces of Dejanira and Illus.
00:22:21As for my noble friends here,
00:22:23return to Thebes and spread the glad tidings.
00:22:26Tell them you saw Goliath alive and triumphant.
00:22:36Can I be going home and for the rest of my days?
00:22:39You can't imagine, Antonius, what it means to me.
00:22:42It's the last time I'll ever leave it.
00:22:43Now, Goliath, don't tell me you're tired.
00:22:45Too exhausted to celebrate your victories.
00:22:51Ho!
00:23:03Is his room ready?
00:23:04Yes, mistress.
00:23:05His bed has new coverlets and I sprayed perfume,
00:23:08so Goliath shall rest well tonight.
00:23:10Good.
00:23:12What are you doing in here? Get outside now.
00:23:16Look, mistress, we have roast porphyr tonight.
00:23:19The master favors the way I cook it.
00:23:20Fine. It'll please Goliath to taste home cooking.
00:23:24Why are you so sad today, Illus?
00:23:27Playing that melancholy air?
00:23:29Remember, you'll soon see your brother.
00:23:35What troubles you, Illus?
00:23:37Théa?
00:23:38It's true, I'm sad.
00:23:40But don't ask me to explain it.
00:23:44I'm sad.
00:23:46I'm sad.
00:23:48I'm sad.
00:23:51I'm sad.
00:23:53I've got it bared by myself.
00:23:57I don't want you suffering too.
00:24:02But what suffering is greater than seeing you so unhappy?
00:24:05Tell me, I want to help you, Illus.
00:24:07He's always been hostile to the idea of Théa and me.
00:24:10Her father killed your parents. Isn't that sufficient?
00:24:12Oh, I think he'd like you to believe that's the reason.
00:24:15He betrayed you.
00:24:17We've been fools, you and I.
00:24:19Because it happens Goliath wants her himself.
00:24:23You can't mean that.
00:24:25Your brother.
00:24:27You're lying to me.
00:24:49Come on.
00:24:53All, untie the oxen.
00:24:55Here's Goliath.
00:24:56Goliath.
00:24:59Greetings. Let me welcome you back.
00:25:01How are things going?
00:25:02Very well. I've added a bit of land to my farm.
00:25:04That's a good idea.
00:25:05So I brought over those animals, but...
00:25:08But? What's the matter?
00:25:10I think those oxen are lazy. They won't haul out any trees.
00:25:13I don't know. They're just loafing, I guess.
00:25:16I see. I'll lend a hand.
00:25:23Goliath, welcome back.
00:25:25Out of the way.
00:25:28Thank you, Goliath.
00:25:32Wait. Wait.
00:25:35Do you want me to help you?
00:25:36I can manage.
00:25:37But I want to help.
00:25:38Stand back now.
00:25:46Goliath.
00:26:17Goliath.
00:26:18What took you so long? We waited all day.
00:26:20Tell us all about the terrible caverns and the monsters.
00:26:24Goliath.
00:26:25How great it is to see you again.
00:26:27I want to hear about the dragon and about the three-headed beast, Goliath.
00:26:30I want to hear about the dragon. That's the best one.
00:26:33You, just stop bothering the master.
00:26:35I want to hear the story. That's all I want, Lincoln.
00:26:37I'll tell you tomorrow. I'm tired. He was fierce.
00:26:40Here, take this and you come with me.
00:26:41I'd like to have another like that.
00:26:42Me too.
00:26:43Why, aren't I enough? Go on, move.
00:26:46And Ilyas, where is he?
00:26:51Right there.
00:26:54It's strange he wouldn't come out to greet me.
00:26:56Oh, Ilyas is in love. It's the hour of youth.
00:26:58Don't say that you've forgotten.
00:27:05Ilyas.
00:27:07Ilyas.
00:27:09Ilyas.
00:27:17My greetings, brother.
00:27:19Judging by your expression, I would say you're not too enthusiastic about my return.
00:27:23You must be famished. And you, Antonius, come and eat.
00:27:26Do you mind if I leave now with my wife?
00:27:28Don't you worry about me. I still have Ilyas.
00:27:32And may your dreams be kind now that you sleep in your own home.
00:27:35And tomorrow I hope we can go hunting.
00:27:39What is the argument about?
00:27:43Look, we're old friends. You can speak with me.
00:27:46It's nothing.
00:27:58Peace.
00:28:00But have I found peace here with my family?
00:28:03You saw the way Ilyas looked at me.
00:28:05As if I were his enemy or worse.
00:28:07You mustn't let it hurt.
00:28:09You know Ilyas is young. He admires you.
00:28:12If you would only allow him to marry Thea.
00:28:14Do you know how I feel? They murdered my parents. I'll keep my oath.
00:28:17But, my dear, blaming them like that.
00:28:21Why not try to remember they were probably in love since babyhood?
00:28:24De Janeiro, say no more.
00:28:26I will kill Ilyas with my own hands if he sees Thea.
00:28:30Here is the poison for young Ilyas.
00:28:32To be fed to his brother at once.
00:28:34To say it will act on Goliath's mind and bring him to his senses.
00:28:38He won't desire Thea.
00:28:40I see you found a way to make me destroy Goliath, eh?
00:28:44I said it to bring him to his senses.
00:28:46I imagine you used an identical kind of filter
00:28:48the day you decided to help poison the former king of Ocalia.
00:28:51I'm sure it's the same one.
00:28:53I'm sure it's the same one.
00:28:55I'm sure it's the same one.
00:28:57I'll poison the former king of Ocalia, Thea's father.
00:29:01Do I have to listen to things like that?
00:29:03No, Eurydice. I shall do whatever the master orders.
00:29:06But understand that I can see the way your evil mind's working.
00:29:10Is that all you see?
00:29:12The only way the country will accept you is for you to marry Thea.
00:29:16There is no other way to gain the leadership of Ocalia.
00:29:19What else?
00:29:21The name Goliath scares you.
00:29:27And suppose I decide to kill you right now?
00:29:29You have that right, Eurydice.
00:29:31But then Goliath will live, for only I can give Ilys the filter.
00:29:34Hold on, Eurydice. Alcinoe puts it well.
00:29:37You must hear her out and grant her some consideration.
00:29:40I've promised her her freedom.
00:29:42It seems to me from what I've heard
00:29:44that our little Alcinoe wants something of much more importance than liberty.
00:29:48Am I right, Alcinoe?
00:29:50And why not?
00:29:52You've wreaked destruction on the city of my parents
00:29:54and have forced me into slavery.
00:29:56And now I want to have revenge.
00:29:58I want to share your throne and rule Ocalia.
00:30:01I'll never grant you that.
00:30:02Wait, Eurydice. Let us think.
00:30:04Alcinoe is smart and she could be helpful.
00:30:07And Thea's quite stubborn and reluctant.
00:30:10But Thea's the daughter of the king.
00:30:12Poor little Thea, orphaned and held captive.
00:30:16She's been mourning for her father and grieving too much about her past.
00:30:19I think that was a grave mistake to have made.
00:30:22You mustn't separate a child from the parent.
00:30:24By now the gods are angry and want us to remedy that.
00:30:27And send Thea to join her royal parent.
00:30:30Tinda, have you gone crazy?
00:30:32Have faith in me, Eurydice.
00:30:34Alcinoe can serve you.
00:30:36Therefore you need her.
00:30:38Haven't I been right in the past?
00:30:44Alcinoe, here is my word.
00:30:46You'll reign as queen.
00:30:48Let's hear Eurydice swear it.
00:30:51I give you my word.
00:30:53Alcinoe, now leave us.
00:30:56An escort will take you as far as the forest.
00:31:04Fool.
00:31:06What now?
00:31:07Promises are made to be broken.
00:31:10I still want Alcinoe and you need Thea to reign securely.
00:31:14But Alcinoe may talk.
00:31:16She won't, I promise you that.
00:31:18She won't, I promise you that.
00:31:20How can you be so sure?
00:31:23I'll have her tongue cut out, Eurydice.
00:31:32You just go across this forest and you'll find the Villa Goliath ahead of you.
00:31:36Attend to this task.
00:31:38Go about your business. I'll deliver the potion, all right.
00:31:48You men stay hidden and wait here until I come back.
00:32:18Look out!
00:32:49You're very lucky.
00:32:51You're not even scratched.
00:32:53I just arrived in time.
00:32:55What a shame to spoil that pretty face.
00:32:57I hope your fright hasn't cost you your voice.
00:33:01And say something.
00:33:04I'm grateful for all you've done.
00:33:06If I hadn't, your beautiful face would have haunted me.
00:33:11I've been hunting him all morning.
00:33:13He was angry and became bloodthirsty.
00:33:16But why is a young girl alone in the forest?
00:33:18Don't ask what I'm doing, I beg you.
00:33:20At least tell me your name.
00:33:23My name's Alcinoe.
00:33:25And yours, say it.
00:33:27I'm Goliath the Theban.
00:33:32It seems my name frightens you.
00:33:39Here are my friends.
00:33:47Go away!
00:33:49Goliath!
00:33:51Finally!
00:33:54I've been tracking you all over the forest.
00:33:59We weren't fast enough.
00:34:01I see you caught our friend.
00:34:03I was lucky, Antonio.
00:34:04I just arrived in time to save Alcinoe from being killed.
00:34:07Alcinoe?
00:34:10Who is Alcinoe?
00:34:11There, see?
00:34:13I don't understand.
00:34:15She was here a few moments ago.
00:34:17I fear you're not feeling well, Goliath.
00:34:19You're having visions.
00:34:46Tony, you're sure you gave Ellis the filter
00:34:48and told him it would bring his brother to his senses?
00:34:51As you ordered, Euretus.
00:34:52Good.
00:34:53And you're quite positive no one saw you do it?
00:34:56No one.
00:34:57I know you're lying.
00:34:58They followed and saw you.
00:35:01You'd have been better off choosing me, Euretus.
00:35:04I offered you love, remember?
00:35:06You preferred this slave.
00:35:10She will betray you, Euretus.
00:35:12She lies.
00:35:13Jealous, Ismene?
00:35:14This is no time for your tricks.
00:35:16She followed orders.
00:35:17Hear me first.
00:35:19I found you out.
00:35:20Well, Alcinoe?
00:35:21Oh, here's her reply.
00:35:23This.
00:35:26You understand.
00:35:28Guard!
00:35:30Take this slave to the dungeon.
00:35:44Now my adventures are over.
00:35:46What more can a man want than to stay at home and live in peace?
00:35:50That's all I ask.
00:35:51May the gods be with you, Goliath.
00:35:53May you always remain here with us.
00:35:55Long life and health, Goliath.
00:35:57Thank you all.
00:35:58Blessings to you, master.
00:35:59I thank you.
00:36:00If I stay, I'll spoil everything.
00:36:01I have to leave.
00:36:02Your brother will take this to heart.
00:36:04To heart?
00:36:05But he hasn't any heart, I'm afraid.
00:36:09Then you're going to Ocalia.
00:36:11I have no choice.
00:36:12Since my brother refuses to listen to reason,
00:36:15I must try to convince Eurydice.
00:36:17Dejanira!
00:36:18Illus!
00:36:22God bless you.
00:36:23May they be with you.
00:36:25This is indeed a night to celebrate.
00:36:28My dearest wish has been realized.
00:36:30To live here with my friends and family and spend a peaceful life.
00:36:34Yes.
00:36:36And where's Illus, Dejanira?
00:36:38He's gone to her.
00:36:42Gone where?
00:36:50Goliath!
00:36:54Goliath!
00:37:09Illus, give me a word of honor that you won't run off again.
00:37:13No.
00:37:14If that's how you want it.
00:37:17What good will it do to tie me up?
00:37:19I happen to know my own mind, my brother.
00:37:21I'm sorry, but you forced me to do this.
00:37:38When you change your mind, Illus, just call me and I'll untie you.
00:37:47I ask your pardon for my absence, friends, but the unpleasantness is over now.
00:37:51Let us enjoy our dinner.
00:37:55Where's Illus?
00:37:56I just tied him to a tree.
00:37:57But, how cruel.
00:37:59It'll teach him a lesson.
00:38:00But we're his family.
00:38:01He won't call me if he wants to be free.
00:38:09Don't turn around.
00:38:10It's Iride, slave to Thea.
00:38:12Do you know this ring?
00:38:13Yes, it's mine.
00:38:14Untie me.
00:38:15Get me loose.
00:38:16I must go to Thea.
00:38:17She said not to go back to Orcalia for any reason.
00:38:19It'll be too dangerous for you.
00:38:20Still, I must try.
00:38:21Thea has sent over a potion.
00:38:23If Goliath won't consent.
00:38:24It's impossible to ask him.
00:38:26Get me loose.
00:38:28You must try to feed this to Goliath.
00:38:33This potion will really help him to forget about Thea?
00:38:36You must try it.
00:38:37Thea says so.
00:38:38Quickly, Illus.
00:38:46Brother.
00:38:50Untie me.
00:38:51I'll keep my word.
00:38:53Hear that?
00:38:55A rope is the best remedy.
00:39:00I wouldn't miss being at your feast, brother.
00:39:02So, free me now and we'll go back to Orcalia.
00:39:04I knew that you'd come to your senses.
00:39:16Hey, catch.
00:39:20All right.
00:39:26You may enter, but be quick.
00:39:35Come on.
00:39:46Illus is in great danger.
00:39:48He was told that Goliath really wants you.
00:39:50I know, Elsinore.
00:39:51But Goliath will soon forget all about that.
00:39:54His main plan is to help me and Illus now.
00:39:56By sending a filter.
00:39:58Its magic will restore Goliath to his senses.
00:40:00It's a trick, I tell you.
00:40:01You'll find that it's fatal.
00:40:03It was sent by Eurytus.
00:40:04His manor is loyal to him.
00:40:06But Eurytus hates her.
00:40:08She still loves him.
00:40:09A poisoner?
00:40:10Not really.
00:40:11Yes, I'll swear to that.
00:40:13They'll trick Goliath into taking it.
00:40:15As your parents were tricked.
00:40:16My parents?
00:40:17Yes, your parents.
00:40:19Eurytus had them both put to death.
00:40:21You won't marry Illus.
00:40:23You'll be the bride of Eurytus.
00:40:25He wants to have you so he can become king and you'll be his queen.
00:40:34You thought you'd fool me.
00:40:36Search him.
00:40:53Elsinore, is this how you treat my gift?
00:40:55Bring in the other guard.
00:40:57Show them both how I punish such traitors.
00:41:00No!
00:41:10I don't think your friend will need this now.
00:41:13I'll give it back to you.
00:41:14You assassin!
00:41:15You killed my parents!
00:41:16Silence!
00:41:19See?
00:41:21You know my plans now.
00:41:23Even my dreams.
00:41:25Elsinore, you'll pay for this.
00:41:27Eurytus.
00:41:32You're lucky.
00:41:34Tyndall wants you alive and I gave him my promise.
00:41:38But you'll remain here.
00:41:41I don't want you running around.
00:41:43Making trouble.
00:41:44Interfering.
00:41:47That's enough.
00:41:48Take them away.
00:41:58Don't cry, dear.
00:41:59It won't help.
00:42:00Our destiny is written by the gods.
00:42:03But what will we do now, Elsinore?
00:42:05Illus will give the felty to his brother.
00:42:07If only some friendly god would help us.
00:42:10Because now that's the only way.
00:42:11Pray, then.
00:42:12Oh, to whom can I pray?
00:42:17The wind goddess.
00:42:19The wind goddess.
00:42:21The wind goddess.
00:42:23The wind goddess.
00:42:24The wind goddess.
00:42:25The wind goddess.
00:42:26The wind goddess.
00:42:28Yes, Goliath is her favorite and she wants to help us.
00:42:34And now, good friends, I propose a toast.
00:42:36To the protector of all honest men.
00:42:38And the defender of our home.
00:42:40I drink to our noble host.
00:42:43While Goliath lives, all Thebes is secure.
00:42:46And the tyrant of Ocalia cannot frighten us.
00:42:50Agreed?
00:42:52I drink to Goliath and to his great and powerful city.
00:42:55And may he attain, here at home with us, the rest he desires.
00:43:00And one more wish.
00:43:02To a long reign and peace for all Thebes.
00:43:06Illus, wait, my dear.
00:43:08The drink has been poisoned by his mania.
00:43:11Illus.
00:43:13Do you hear me, Illus?
00:43:15There is poison in that filter.
00:43:17Don't use it.
00:43:18Be on your guard, Illus.
00:43:21Goliath will die.
00:43:23Don't let him drink it.
00:43:25Don't poison your own brother, Illus.
00:43:27Can you hear me?
00:43:29The filter is deadly.
00:43:31It's poisoned.
00:43:33It's poisoned.
00:43:35So destroy it now, Illus.
00:43:36Please do it.
00:43:39Save him.
00:43:41Destroy it and save Goliath, Illus.
00:43:44Save him.
00:43:45I drink to peace and prosperity.
00:43:47Stop him.
00:43:49Stop him.
00:43:52What's the matter with you?
00:43:54Why?
00:43:55Please forgive me.
00:43:56I was clumsy and stumbled.
00:43:58It was an accident.
00:43:59Fill the cups again.
00:44:07Here's to Goliath.
00:44:12You'll join us?
00:44:14Yes, I'd be glad to.
00:44:16Forgive me, brother.
00:44:31My horse, please.
00:44:32Your horse is ready.
00:44:35Are you sure?
00:44:36I was prepared.
00:44:38Goliath.
00:44:40Illus is gone.
00:44:41He said he couldn't live without Théa.
00:44:42De Janeiro.
00:44:43But he was unhappy, Goliath.
00:44:44Didn't you let him go?
00:44:46But it wasn't my fault.
00:44:48He left for Ocania.
00:44:49Don't you understand?
00:44:50He may have gone to his death.
00:45:06Illus.
00:45:09Illus.
00:45:10Théa.
00:45:11Illus.
00:45:12Théa.
00:45:14Théa.
00:45:17Get away.
00:45:21Illus.
00:45:24Get him.
00:45:26You got me into this.
00:45:28A brilliant plan.
00:45:30The trap.
00:45:31The poison.
00:45:32Yet he's alive.
00:45:33Answer me.
00:45:35At first it was the woman.
00:45:36Now this boy is upsetting your plans.
00:45:38I can't understand it.
00:45:39You can't understand anything.
00:45:42You've never understood that it's destiny that guides us.
00:45:46And after this morning, I'll forbid you to work on any of these plots that don't make sense, you moron.
00:45:52From now on, I'll do the deciding.
00:45:55And I say Illus will die.
00:45:59That's how I'll challenge Goliath.
00:46:11Illus.
00:46:12Illus.
00:46:13Illus.
00:46:14Illus.
00:46:15Illus.
00:46:16Illus.
00:46:17Illus.
00:46:18Illus.
00:46:19Illus.
00:46:20Illus.
00:46:21Illus.
00:46:22Illus.
00:46:23Illus.
00:46:24Illus.
00:46:25Illus.
00:46:26Illus.
00:46:27Illus.
00:46:28Illus.
00:46:29Illus.
00:46:30Illus.
00:46:31Illus.
00:46:32Illus.
00:46:33Illus.
00:46:34Illus.
00:46:35Illus.

00:47:06Illus.
00:47:07Illus.
00:47:08Illus.
00:47:09♪♪
00:47:16♪♪
00:47:20♪♪
00:47:31♪♪
00:47:34♪♪
00:47:38♪♪
00:47:43A lucky meeting. We'll have to hurry, Goliath.
00:47:46♪♪
00:47:54No! No, don't, Goliath, don't!
00:47:58No! Antimocles, they're waiting for me!
00:48:03On to Arcadia.
00:48:14Can't you just tell me, why do you have an elephant?
00:48:16Yes, please explain it.
00:48:18Oh, you'll see.
00:48:20You've been promised an execution and a challenge, and you'll get them both.
00:48:23Look there.
00:48:28♪♪
00:48:35No! No!
00:48:38No! No!
00:48:40No! No!
00:48:42No! No!
00:48:44No! No!
00:48:46No! No!
00:48:53Is everything set for my enemy?
00:48:55We're ready, Eurydice. I saw to it.
00:48:57The men at the gates are all prepared.
00:49:03One more, then the brother of Goliath.
00:49:06♪♪
00:49:23He's a beauty, that elephant, isn't he?
00:49:26Great spectacle.
00:49:28As you see, you're not the only one to get ideas.
00:49:36No! No!
00:49:39No! No!
00:49:48Now to prove I'm not afraid of Goliath.
00:49:52Just take a look at what's happening.
00:49:56♪♪
00:50:09Ah! Ah!
00:50:12Oh, fear! Fear!
00:50:16♪♪
00:50:26Open the gate for Temecles of Megara!
00:50:28Hold off the spectacle till Ecles is arriving.
00:50:31Wait! Open the gate!
00:50:34♪♪
00:50:45Don't panic.
00:50:47♪♪
00:51:03Don't worry.
00:51:04In the fury of Goliath, not an elephant.
00:51:08♪♪
00:51:36Guards, get them!
00:51:37Come on, get him!
00:51:38Get Goliath!
00:51:39Come on, let's get away!
00:51:40Come on, get him!
00:51:41Get him!
00:51:42After him!
00:51:43After him!
00:51:44Come on, get him!
00:51:45Guards, head them off!
00:51:47Come on!
00:51:48Get him!
00:51:49Get him!
00:51:50Get Goliath!
00:51:51Get Goliath!
00:51:52Get Goliath!
00:51:53Get Goliath!
00:51:54Get Goliath!
00:51:55Get Goliath!
00:51:56Get Goliath!

00:52:05Get Goliath!
00:52:06Get Goliath!
00:52:07Get Goliath!
00:52:08Get Goliath!

00:52:13Get Goliath!
00:52:14Get Goliath!
00:52:15Get Goliath!
00:52:16Get Goliath!
00:52:17Why are you standing there?
00:52:19Come on, Elyse.
00:52:20I pray the guards can help you.
00:52:25Hear me, goddess.
00:52:27It's Goliath calling you.
00:52:30O divine prophetess, who knows the destiny of all men.
00:52:37Elyse is very troubled.
00:52:39I ask your help.
00:52:42Meet Goliath.
00:52:45I ask your help.
00:52:49I hear you, Goliath. What is it you wish to know?
00:52:53One day I asked you about Thea, but you were mute.
00:52:58Now I beg you.
00:53:02Tell me the prophecy. Do it for my sake.
00:53:06In time, your brother shall reign in Ocalia, Goliath.
00:53:10But it will cost the life of the woman who loves you.
00:53:15And I will be the one to save you.
00:53:23Come, let us go, Elis.
00:53:37The gods have spoken.
00:53:39Visioneer, his fate is in your hands.
00:53:42Yes, brother.
00:53:44You will forget her.
00:53:46Yes, brother.
00:53:49By the only means I know.
00:54:02Cursed be the day that I settled here.
00:54:04And cursed be this land that should have brought me peace.
00:54:09No, let him be, mistress.
00:54:11It's better to let him do what he wants now.
00:54:38Collapse like my shattered dreams!
00:55:08We shall find another place.
00:55:10And I'll build you a new house, just as you want it.
00:55:13And you'll forget whatever is troubling you.
00:55:15And soon you'll be happy.
00:55:17And when I'm happy?
00:55:19When I'm happy.
00:55:21When I'm happy.
00:55:23When I'm happy.
00:55:25When I'm happy.
00:55:27When I'm happy.
00:55:29When I'm happy.
00:55:31When I'm happy.
00:55:33When I'm happy.
00:55:35When I'm happy.
00:55:37And what about the gods' prophecy, Goliath?
00:55:40I know it. How can I hope to avoid my destiny?
00:55:43We'll see.
00:56:08I have good news.
00:56:10Ilyss and Goliath have left.
00:56:15As for you, Théa,
00:56:17I've had to hold back on my plans for you and me.
00:56:21But that's all over with.
00:56:23Because very soon,
00:56:25you're going to be my queen.
00:56:30No, don't touch me.
00:56:32Do you think I'd marry you when you're the man who killed my father?
00:56:35Do you think I'd marry you when you're the man who killed my father?
00:56:46No!
00:56:47I said, I... Théa!
00:56:49I said, I... Théa!
00:56:55No!
00:56:59Wait, Eurydice.
00:57:01I know what I'm doing.
00:57:06Come here.
00:57:08Look down there.
00:57:20No.
00:57:22No.
00:57:24Please.
00:57:26Théa, no.
00:57:28No. Please.
00:57:30No.
00:57:32No.
00:57:34Please.
00:57:37Please.
00:57:39No.
00:57:41No.
00:57:43No.
00:57:45No.
00:57:47No.
00:57:49Pull her out.
00:57:51Keep out of it, Tyndall.
00:58:04Will you marry me, Théa?
00:58:35Will you abandon Alcinoe to the snakes?
00:58:38Do with me whatever you want.
00:58:40I'll give my word.
00:58:42But please get her out.
00:58:44Please help Alcinoe.
00:59:04Please.
00:59:31How could any man cross this?
00:59:33Alcinoe is dangerous.
00:59:35I shall make a bridge to the other side.
00:59:49Come on. I'll make my bridge here out of rocks.
00:59:59My sister, I'm miserable and in much pain.
01:00:01Free me, please.
01:00:02I would if I could.
01:00:04I can help my brother now.
01:00:06He will protect me. Oh, please don't worry.
01:00:08But the gods prophesy must happen.
01:00:12And my death can stop it all.
01:00:33How can you ask me?
01:00:35Your life is before you.
01:00:37Hear me, gods.
01:00:39I forfeit mine for Illus.
01:00:41Spare him for his young, and because now mine is hopeless.
01:00:44Dejanira.
01:00:46How did you think I could accept that?
01:00:48Oh, hear you, Menedes.
01:00:50I shall beg you gods for an answer.
01:00:52Now prove your love for Goliath.
01:01:02I am here, Dejanira.
01:01:22I am Polymorphous, the centaur,
01:01:24god of the waters and the land,
01:01:27my domains the valley.
01:01:29You've called the humanities and stated your wish.
01:01:32You're given to me.
01:01:34♪♪
01:01:41Goliath!
01:01:43Help!
01:01:45Help!
01:01:47♪♪
01:02:04Help!
01:02:06Help!
01:02:08Help!
01:02:10Help!
01:02:12Help!
01:02:14And for this she shall feel my cruelty.
01:02:16She shall never come back.
01:02:18♪♪
01:02:41Centaur, I'll find Dejanira wherever she is.
01:02:45♪♪
01:02:53Dejanira!
01:02:55♪♪
01:02:59Dejanira!
01:03:01Guards, from this moment on I shall be your enemy.
01:03:06I will no longer recognize your laws nor obey you.
01:03:10Help me to rescue Dejanira.
01:03:13I challenge you and curse be my fate if I fail.
01:03:17Hear me!
01:03:19♪♪
01:03:30Find out what's happening.
01:03:32♪♪
01:03:42I don't understand it.
01:03:44It's as though the sun had disappeared at high noon.
01:03:47Find out what's happening at once.
01:03:49I'm afraid.
01:03:51I wish you could see yourself, Eurytus.
01:03:54And I wish all your subjects were here now.
01:03:57Talia's tyrant, sitting on his throne,
01:03:59has become a baby and trembles because it's dark.
01:04:05No one can say Eurytus is afraid. No one.
01:04:09I'll just make sure you don't say it again.
01:04:13Eurytus, quickly, follow me.
01:04:16First the sky grows black and now a strange monster has arrived.
01:04:20What does that mean?
01:04:22There's a wounded centaur within our gates.
01:04:24He's asking for your presence.
01:04:27♪♪
01:04:42Eurytus, Goliath, your enemy, has done this to me.
01:04:46I bring you his wife and in return I beg you to punish him.
01:04:50I'll avenge you. He will pay for this.
01:04:53♪♪
01:05:02Avenge me and be strong.
01:05:05Have no pity.
01:05:12Take him to the dragon.
01:05:23God of vengeance,
01:05:25it was for you that I entered Eurytus' caves and slew his monsters.
01:05:29Why have you abandoned me?
01:05:31Instead of the tranquil life you promised,
01:05:33you have taken away all I hold dear.
01:05:35Where is Dejanira? I implore you to return her.
01:05:38If you refuse, I shall defy you
01:05:40and I swear that my vengeance shall be as terrible as your own.
01:05:44You must hear me now. Return Dejanira.
01:05:48You won't answer me? You won't help me?
01:05:51Then return my diamond.
01:05:53♪♪
01:06:22I fear your vengeance.
01:06:45Goliath, you have challenged us, but I am still here.
01:06:49Tell me, where is Dejanira?
01:06:51She is facing a horrible death deep in the ground.
01:06:54I, the wind goddess, dare not risk angering the gods to tell you any more.
01:06:58You mean the caves under Ocalia?
01:07:00Yes, even now she is being sacrificed to the dragon,
01:07:03but I am forbidden to aid you.
01:07:05Speak! Speak, I pray you!
01:07:07There is a secret entrance.
01:07:09At the top of this hill it is unguarded.
01:07:11Go quickly, Goliath!
01:07:13Aaaaaaaah!
01:07:38Yes, farther now.
01:07:43♪♪
01:08:10Aaaaaaaah!
01:08:13Aaaaaaaah!
01:08:35Goliath, help me!
01:08:37Aaaaaaaah!
01:08:46Aaaaaaaah!
01:08:50Aaaaaaaah!
01:08:57Aaaaaaaah!
01:09:03Aaaaaaaah!
01:09:07Aaaaaaaah!
01:09:14Aaaaaaaah!
01:09:18Aaaaaaaah!
01:09:20Dejanira!
01:09:22Aaaaaaaah!
01:09:24Stay here. You'll be all right.
01:09:26Aaaaaaaah!
01:09:31Dejanira, don't go! Don't go!
01:09:34Don't go!
01:09:37Aaaaaaah!
01:09:42Aaaaaaaaaaah!
01:09:53Aaaaaaaaah!
01:10:07Come on, look out!
01:11:08Visioneira!
01:11:12Visioneira!
01:11:15Visioneira, where are you?
01:11:23So Eurytus has taken her.
01:11:26He thinks he'll win that way.
01:11:28I swear eternal vengeance! I will destroy him!
01:12:07Visioneira!
01:12:08Visioneira!
01:12:36You've made it quickly!
01:12:37I met your brother and heard his report.
01:12:39There are 50 on horses here.
01:12:41They're the best in the land and eager to fight.
01:12:43But because they're all Thebans, the men on foot alone can't capture the invincible kingdom.
01:12:48The walls built by Eurytus' men shall not remain impregnable.
01:12:51I shall make them crumble!
01:12:54That is if the gods will it.
01:12:55No, Antonius.
01:12:57This time we are without their aid.
01:12:58Even the gods are against us.
01:13:00Let's get started.
01:13:01Advance!
01:13:08I must be informed about his progress.
01:13:11Will he dare to attack?
01:13:12How can any mortal attack these walls and hope to take the city?
01:13:15They haven't a chance.
01:13:16Our cavalry is massed, Eurytus.
01:13:18And our defense has been prepared.
01:13:20Good. Return to your posts.
01:13:38At last he's afraid and he's right.
01:13:40Can we stand off this attack?
01:13:51Come on, there's the entrance to the cave.
01:13:53I remember it.
01:13:58Stay behind until I found the spot.
01:14:01Oh, please say something to us, Thea.
01:14:03I can't bear this silence any longer.
01:14:06Thea, won't you listen?
01:14:08I really loved you as a sister.
01:14:10Can't you understand?
01:14:12You must if you love Dilys.
01:14:14Eurytus wanted you betrayed.
01:14:16I'm so in love that I obeyed his orders.
01:14:20The caves are directly beneath the palace.
01:14:36Let's go.
01:15:06The palace is supported by these.
01:15:14I can pull the pillars down and destroy it.
01:15:16Go back, Antonius.
01:15:18What is it you're planning?
01:15:20I want an explanation.
01:15:22I'll do it myself.
01:15:24I shall attack the pillars and bring the palace down.
01:15:27But you...
01:15:28What about you?
01:15:31Yes, I know.
01:15:33Perhaps I will die.
01:15:35If anything happens to me, I would like you to look after Dilys.
01:15:39Now go.
01:15:40The palace will topple.
01:15:43Go on.
01:16:05Go on.
01:16:28Don't be afraid.
01:16:30I'll be gentle with my queen.
01:16:35Don't be afraid.
01:17:01We must attack the moment there is an opening in the wall.
01:17:05Yes.
01:17:35It is impossible for him to breach those walls.
01:17:38Guards!
01:18:05Quickly now! Follow me!
01:18:35Follow me!
01:19:05Run!
01:19:35Follow me!
01:20:05Don't be afraid.
01:20:07I've come to help you.
01:20:09Goliath is here in Ocalia.
01:20:10I will take you to him.
01:20:11But hurry, hurry, before Eurydice gets here.
01:20:13Stop!
01:20:14I know your tricks, you serpent. Let her go!
01:20:16If you won't come quietly, I'll drag you out.
01:20:19No!
01:20:35No!
01:20:54Don't worry, you'll be fine.
01:20:56Help Goliath! Here, Goliath!
01:20:58Goliath? That's right.
01:20:59Go on, call Goliath.
01:21:01Faster than that.
01:21:05Go!
01:21:19In here, Goliath.
01:21:20I've got your wife here.
01:21:23Goliath!
01:21:28Stop right there.
01:21:30Speak.
01:21:31Tell him what you see there.
01:21:34Tell him, I say. Don't pull away. Go closer.
01:21:51Help, please.
01:21:54Did you hear that, Goliath?
01:21:57Did you hear that, Goliath?
01:21:59You like snakes, Dejanira?
01:22:02Snakes.
01:22:04They're waiting for their dinner.
01:22:06And they haven't been fed today, and she'll make a good meal.
01:22:09Take a look at that pretty face.
01:22:12I'm afraid it won't be so pretty after my snakes get through with her own.
01:22:16Too bad.
01:22:17Why make her suffer, Eurydice?
01:22:19I'll tell you.
01:22:21I've waited for this.
01:22:23I want to see you down on your knees, pleading for your wife.
01:22:28Yes, pleading with me.
01:22:30Pray to me, or I'll throw her to the snakes.
01:22:35On your knees and pray, Goliath.
01:22:38Is your pride too strong to kneel to me?
01:22:44Pray to me.
01:22:46Beg me.
01:22:48Beg me.
01:22:54I beg you now, Eurydice.
01:22:57Don't kill my wife.
01:22:59I promise to do all you want.
01:23:02No, Goliath.
01:23:04You have nothing to offer.
01:23:07Nothing could be as sweet as my revenge.
01:23:10Nothing, Goliath.
01:23:12You'll never save your woman.
01:23:16And you'll die after her.
01:23:17And you'll die after her.
01:23:47No!
01:24:04It was meant to be this way.
01:24:07We met too late, I know.
01:24:10It all began the minute I first saw you.
01:24:13You rescued me and I've loved you ever since.
01:24:19And now it's too late.
01:24:22But I've helped you and I'm happy.
01:24:43Goliath, we have work for you.
01:24:45I'm busy now, Antonius.
01:25:13Goliath!
