00:00:04,070 --> 00:00:13,210
Heracles and Admetus

3
00:00:14,900 --> 00:00:16,570
Heracles

4
00:00:16,740 --> 00:00:20,800
the greatest of the heroes of ancient Greece

5
00:00:21,123 --> 00:00:23,400
His twelve Labours,

6
00:00:23,490 --> 00:00:28,750
done while in service
of the king of Mycenae, Eurystheus,

7
00:00:29,070 --> 00:00:32,110
have brought glory to his name
in the centuries since.

8
00:00:32,270 --> 00:00:34,980
But many other feats of Heracles

9
00:00:35,130 --> 00:00:37,090
are known as well,

10
00:00:37,140 --> 00:00:39,680
maybe the more precious to us

11
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,890
who live in the 20th century.

12
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,250
One of them

13
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,820
is the subject of this film.

14
00:01:51,810 --> 00:01:53,980
The Moirai, the goddesses of fate,

15
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,040
have predicted that I will die soon.

16
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,240
I've lived a short life.

17
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,900
I'm afraid to leave the earthly
life behind so early.

18
00:02:01,130 --> 00:02:03,170
Oh, Apollo, I pray to you,

19
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:04,840
tell me, through Pythia's lips,

20
00:02:04,850 --> 00:02:07,400
could I avoid this death,

21
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,120
so early?

22
00:02:09,790 --> 00:02:11,460
You can

23
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,740
avoid this death

24
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,300
if in the last hour

25
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,660
of your life

26
00:02:20,730 --> 00:02:22,200
someone

27
00:02:22,250 --> 00:02:24,680
agrees voluntarily

28
00:02:24,730 --> 00:02:28,440
to descend instead of you

29
00:02:28,540 --> 00:02:32,600
to the dark realm of Hades.

30
00:02:33,530 --> 00:02:36,910
Oh, Apollo, what joy you give me!

31
00:02:37,030 --> 00:02:41,290
I will not die, I will not die!

32
00:02:51,450 --> 00:02:52,270
Admetus!

33
00:02:52,310 --> 00:02:56,570
I am saved, Alcesta!

34
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,780
I will not die.

35
00:03:04,910 --> 00:03:06,430
I will live on -

36
00:03:06,490 --> 00:03:09,000
Apollo gave a fortunate prophecy.

37
00:03:09,190 --> 00:03:11,950
As soon as you had reached the shore

38
00:03:11,950 --> 00:03:14,490
we already knew everything.

39
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,560
Rumour has arrived before you.

40
00:03:20,030 --> 00:03:22,080
The entire town knows it,

41
00:03:22,230 --> 00:03:24,140
all of your friends.

42
00:03:24,180 --> 00:03:25,450
Are those the sounds of music?

43
00:03:25,490 --> 00:03:29,410
Yes, yes, I ordered a feast to be held

44
00:03:29,460 --> 00:03:32,490
and it will last the whole week

45
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,770
I will not go to the underworld

46
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,320
if someone else agrees to go
instead of me.

47
00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:25,200
Hermes?

48
00:04:25,290 --> 00:04:28,750
As you can see, you won't find
someone who'll save you here.

49
00:04:28,990 --> 00:04:30,520
Go around the world

50
00:04:30,580 --> 00:04:31,870
it is big

51
00:04:31,940 --> 00:04:35,710
there are people whose life is
null and humiliating

52
00:04:35,710 --> 00:04:40,070
worse then Tartarus,
as they often say themselves.

53
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,100
Yes - in war people don't spare lives,

54
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,250
neither their own nor others'.

55
00:05:13,300 --> 00:05:15,070
Death feasts there.

56
00:05:15,540 --> 00:05:18,600
There you will find what you're
looking for.

57
00:05:32,300 --> 00:05:35,780
I've always won, and this time
I won't die either!

58
00:05:35,940 --> 00:05:38,620
The enemy will die from this sword!

59
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,730
I am also fighting to win!

60
00:05:41,850 --> 00:05:45,000
My true protector is this shield!

61
00:05:45,110 --> 00:05:48,470
For him who decided to leave this
world voluntarily

62
00:05:48,530 --> 00:05:50,570
there is no reason to go to battle.

63
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,500
He would just get in the way!

64
00:06:26,250 --> 00:06:29,870
Victory, victory, Admetus!

65
00:06:29,870 --> 00:06:32,430
Heroes are my warriors!

66
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,230
Athena herself guided them!

67
00:06:35,330 --> 00:06:38,420
Look, look, Admetus!

68
00:06:38,490 --> 00:06:41,590
The winged Nike is accompanying us!

69
00:06:41,660 --> 00:06:43,670
We won!

70
00:06:43,770 --> 00:06:47,590
Look, look, Admetus!

71
00:07:07,540 --> 00:07:10,560
May your days be long in this world,
good man,

72
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,560
May the good
accompany you in it.

73
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,190
There is not much time for me left
to live in this world.

74
00:07:17,250 --> 00:07:19,510
My name is Admetus.

75
00:07:20,190 --> 00:07:22,300
Admetus...

76
00:07:22,300 --> 00:07:25,870
Admetus? Oh yes, I've heard...

77
00:07:25,950 --> 00:07:29,650
you would die earlier than you should.

78
00:07:29,710 --> 00:07:31,590
Oh yes, I've heard...

79
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,960
Woeful is your fate.

80
00:07:35,050 --> 00:07:37,160
But if someone else agreed

81
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,160
to go to Tartarus instead of me,
I would be saved.

82
00:07:44,490 --> 00:07:48,110
Tell me, will I find any other
man more unfortunate than you?

83
00:07:48,170 --> 00:07:52,043
No house, no one close to you,
expelled by the crowd,

84
00:07:52,990 --> 00:07:55,270
tell me, what is such a life good for?

85
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,800
I can be happy too...

86
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:02,160
in the night one freezes to death
like a dog in the street,

87
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:07,300
but in the morning the sun warms me,
the birds sing,

88
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:12,120
then just the thought that I'm still
living makes me happy.

89
00:08:12,260 --> 00:08:19,060
No, voluntarily to Tartarus
I will not go, no...

90
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,050
Admetus?

91
00:08:38,500 --> 00:08:41,240
Nobody cares that I will die...

92
00:08:41,340 --> 00:08:46,680
...will die, and will never more
be in this world

93
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,800
Hermes, what is this?

94
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,510
You are being buried.

95
00:09:15,646 --> 00:09:18,633
Your final day has come.

96
00:09:23,890 --> 00:09:25,140
And who is this?

97
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,380
This is Thanatos, the god of death.

98
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,240
What does he want?

99
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,860
To drink the sacred blood.

100
00:09:32,860 --> 00:09:34,810
As soon as he has done that,

101
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:39,690
your soul will fly away to that place
from where it can never return.

102
00:09:45,630 --> 00:09:48,730
No, I still have one more day.

103
00:09:49,570 --> 00:09:51,530
My final day.

104
00:09:51,540 --> 00:09:52,810
It's mine.

105
00:10:04,370 --> 00:10:08,340
My final day has come

106
00:10:17,810 --> 00:10:19,930
Live, Admetus!

107
00:10:19,990 --> 00:10:23,760
I will descend to the realm of
the shadows and die instead of you.

108
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,250
You will live!

109
00:10:31,910 --> 00:10:32,880
Alcesta!

110
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:02,650
When you said "live, Admetus!"

111
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,200
I felt

112
00:11:06,780 --> 00:11:09,070
as if your soul

113
00:11:09,570 --> 00:11:11,530
touched mine.

114
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:16,860
Yes, I felt this touch.

115
00:12:09,130 --> 00:12:11,240
And where is my friend Admetus?

116
00:12:11,870 --> 00:12:13,500
Start the dinner alone,

117
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,380
he will soon join you.

118
00:12:27,460 --> 00:12:29,593
And where is my friend Admetus?

119
00:12:30,070 --> 00:12:31,750
He begs your pardon,

120
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,040
he will be here soon.

121
00:12:41,680 --> 00:12:43,280
Ah, Hermes...

122
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:45,570
Alone? Bored?

123
00:12:46,090 --> 00:12:48,290
I do not understand this.

124
00:12:48,290 --> 00:12:50,090
I am served wonderfully,

125
00:12:50,140 --> 00:12:51,570
but the hosts are absent

126
00:12:51,620 --> 00:12:55,600
and the servants are like shadows
in the underworld.

127
00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:00,430
Ah, let me invite you to lay at the
table with me!

128
00:13:01,780 --> 00:13:04,390
Do you mind me taking along some friends?

129
00:13:21,860 --> 00:13:25,550
Wonderful! And ladle wine for all!

130
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:33,700
What's the matter?

131
00:13:33,750 --> 00:13:38,180
You feel unhappy? Then lay at the table
and drink, I will pour you myself!

132
00:13:38,180 --> 00:13:40,210
Oh, poor Admetus...

133
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,360
Admetus' wife, Alcesta...

134
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,130
Why didn't they tell me right away?

135
00:14:00,860 --> 00:14:03,270
Admetus asked them to keep it quiet.

136
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,540
And say nothing about Alcesta's death?

137
00:14:05,810 --> 00:14:08,760
Yes, in order not disturb your repose

138
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,740
with the tears of his sadness.

139
00:14:11,190 --> 00:14:13,260
Dear me, Admetus...!

140
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,220
Let's continue our cheerful feast!

141
00:14:17,220 --> 00:14:19,250
No, I have to do something...

142
00:14:19,260 --> 00:14:21,220
Fate cannot be changed.

143
00:14:21,220 --> 00:14:23,010
Fate cannot be changed...

144
00:14:23,010 --> 00:14:25,550
Yes, it's too late, Heracles.

145
00:14:25,550 --> 00:14:29,860
The gods of Tartarus are already
awaiting their sacrifices.

146
00:14:29,860 --> 00:14:32,210
Thanatos is already flying to
Alcesta's bed

147
00:14:32,210 --> 00:14:34,600
to carry away her soul

148
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,990
and take it to Tartarus forever.

149
00:14:59,710 --> 00:15:03,920
Let me drink the sacred blood
to my pleasure!

150
00:15:04,090 --> 00:15:06,250
Fiendish mob!

151
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,230
You won't get this soul!

152
00:15:10,630 --> 00:15:13,090
What do you want?

153
00:15:13,090 --> 00:15:14,800
Alcesta's soul!

154
00:15:18,900 --> 00:15:22,240
Despised mortal!

155
00:15:51,250 --> 00:15:54,220
Admetus, Admetus yesterday's guest
is coming!

156
00:15:54,980 --> 00:15:56,220
Heracles?

157
00:16:08,630 --> 00:16:11,510
Heracles, we thought you had already left,

158
00:16:11,870 --> 00:16:13,690
and regretted
we couldn't say our goodbyes

159
00:16:15,820 --> 00:16:19,306
I also regretted leaving without
having said goodbye.

160
00:16:22,723 --> 00:16:26,293
By the way, there is a woman here with me.

161
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,790
I give her to you as a present, Admetus

162
00:16:32,383 --> 00:16:35,960
in gratitude for your hospitality.

163
00:16:36,443 --> 00:16:39,990
No, no, no!

164
00:16:44,750 --> 00:16:47,590
Admetus, I swear to you,

165
00:16:47,630 --> 00:16:53,390
you won't find a better woman than her
in the whole world!

166
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,400
At least take a look at her!

167
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,270
What a woman is facing you!

168
00:17:03,740 --> 00:17:08,720
Admetus, look, it's your Alcesta!

169
00:17:08,770 --> 00:17:13,950
Alive! oh, gods! look, Admetus!

170
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,380
She has returned from Tartarus! Oh, gods!

171
00:17:17,380 --> 00:17:20,060
Alive, Alcesta is alive!

172
00:17:25,896 --> 00:17:27,463
But why is she silent?

173
00:17:27,503 --> 00:17:29,240
Is she a ghost?

174
00:17:29,253 --> 00:17:32,290
For three days she won't say a word.

175
00:17:32,340 --> 00:17:35,910
She has to make redemptive
sacrifices to the gods.

176
00:17:36,050 --> 00:17:38,730
Heracles, you saved her!

177
00:17:48,430 --> 00:17:53,180
Oh, great son of Zeus, you returned
the joy of my life to me!

178
00:17:53,180 --> 00:17:54,826
Stay with us!

179
00:17:54,866 --> 00:17:57,060
Ah, Diomedes' horses!!

180
00:17:57,110 --> 00:18:02,780
I have to hurry on,
for the cause of Eurystheus.
