Where's Hercules?
The one god has been good to him.
S5 E1Faith
This is really gonna hurt.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
There's nothing you can do to stop Dahak from entering our world. It's his destiny!
And it's my destiny to shut you up!
(Iolaus has been stabbed in the chest by Gilgamesh)
Hang in there, buddy.
Can't.
Sure you can. Come on.
Hercules… (dies)
Come on. Don't you give up on me. Come on. Come on! Don't you give up on me!
S5 E8Darkness Rising
I don't know where you came from, Dahak, but you're not staying.
DDahak (in Iolaus's body)
(cries) I come back all the way from the dead just to see you and this is the thanks I get!
You may have his body, but you're not Iolaus.
Really? Then who am I? Hmm, I guess this is a question everybody asks themselves sooner or later, don't ya think? Pity I had to die to find my answer. Still, better late than never, huh?
DDahak (in Iolaus's body)
You still don't believe it's me, do ya? Okay. Lemme tell ya a little story. It's the story of a time long ago. We open on our hero, Hercules. A broken man, a shell of his former self, he wanders the world aimlessly – grieving over the loss of his best friend, Iolaus. You see, he thought he'd stopped Dahak from entering the world, but… all Dahak needed was a warrior heart. So, when little Iolaus sacrificed himself for the fair maiden Nebula, Dahak had everything he needed! Theee enddddd! (beat) Or maybe it's only the beginning.
S5 E9Redemption
I saw the Earth formed out of nothing. I brought the serpent of temptation into man's garden. I've even been known on occasion to turn entire oceans to sand in a single breath. I think it's safe to say I have the experience to know how this will turn out.
Zarathustra, I am so disappointed in you. We had an understanding. I gave you power beyond mortal limitation, but you turned into the worst kind of coward.
Why? Because he refused to kill his family?
You say "kill his family" as if that were a bad thing. The truth is, he didn't deserve them. Not much of a family man, are you, Zarathustra? If you were, you wouldn't have accepted me into your heart so greedily. But don't worry. Your failure is my success. And if it's any consolation, when I killed your family, I didn't give them a chance to scream.
Zarathustra saw his immortality as a curse. Releasing him was an act of mercy and, since you don't know the meaning of the word, I'd say I'm getting through to Iolaus.
Uh-uh-uh. Zarathustra was the only one who knew how to perform the ritual. Now, it's just you and me... buddy. (laughs)
Who are you?
(in the form of Hercules) A fellow traveler who was prevented from completing his journey.
Dahak?
Oh, I've been called many things.
Yeah, I can think of a few right now.
Optimism, Hercules, is the shield of fools. As long as people allow themselves to be ruled by their wills, there will always be those who take my path.
But there'll be more than don't. There's something in everyone even you can't touch, Dahak: the impulse to create, to nurture life instead of destroy it. As long as it exists, I'll keep my optimism, thanks.
Time's up.
You got that right!
ZZarathustra
You were right, Hercules. The impulse to create does have a name.
S5 E10Let There Be Light
Olivia, you were my mother's best friend. You know me.
OOlivia
I don't know who you are anymore. I'm just glad Alcmene isn't here to see what you've become.
(to Dahak) This is round one. (walks away)
What have you done with the Olympians?
The real question is, what have they done with themselves? They left before I arrived, but don't worry. I'll find them.
