Gabrielle?

Mmm.

- Everything all right?
- Yeah. Fine.

Just thinking.

Hmm. Thank you.

For what?

You stuck by me through
everything. Likewise, I'm sure.

I hope I never
disappoint you, Xena.

Impossible.

I've learned that
anything is possible.

There's somebody in the
shadows by the poplar tree.

I know.

Xena...

- I'm Xena.
- I was sent by the weak one,

who's soft as water,

hard as the raging flood.

Eat dirt.

I'm afraid I can't help you,
friend. Your wound's too severe.

I bring a message to you.

- I'm listening.
- The Green Dragon has become too large.

It must be made... small.

The Green Dragon? I'm
going on a long journey.

You're going on a long
journey. What happened to "we"?

This time's different.

What's so different about it?

I have to travel toward the
rising sun for many, many days.

Xena, that's not
a problem for me.

The land that I'm traveling to is as
different to ours as night is to day:

the Kingdom of Chin.

You think that's an
argument against my coming?

It sounds fascinating.

If you came, you
couldn't get in my way.

Are you saying
I'm a nuisance? No.

You just wouldn't like
what I'm going there to do.

Okay, let's forget
the cryptic part.

Are you going up
against a dragon? No.

Is the Green Dragon
a person? Yes.

Which person?

The one I'm gonna kill.

In a time of ancient gods...

warlords and kings,

a land in turmoil
cried out for a hero.

She was Xena,

a mighty princess
forged in the heat of battle.

The power.

The passion.

The danger.

Her courage will
change the world.

Feeling much better. Thank you.

Maybe there's something
that I don't understand...

Some subtlety I'm not getting.

Xena, I'll tell you what it
looks like on the surface.

You plan on traveling
this long, grueling trip...

for the sole purpose
of killing someone.

That pretty much sums it
up. But you can't do that!

Like I said, maybe it's better
you don't come. Try and stop me.

At least tell me why?
You will never understand.

After all we've been
through, you can say that?

How much for the lot
of this? Twenty dinar.

Twenty dinars?
Do we look stupid?

Oh, well, 15 dinar?

Give him 12. It's
more than it's worth.

Thanks, Gabrielle.
You're welcome.

I'm glad I could help you get a deal on
the things you need to commit a murder.

Xena, what are you
doing? Gabrielle,

this is just something
I have to do.

Then explain it to me.

Who do you have to kill?

Why? To understand
what I have to do...

you need to understand
what was left undone.

Many years ago, as you know,
Caesar left his mark on me.

Break her legs.

A new Xena is born tonight,

with a new purpose in life:

death.

With shattered legs and
crippled soul, I went east...

to lose myself in vengeance...

Not against Caesar, but
the entire human race.

No! We don't slaughter them.

I'm telling you, Borias.

The only way to deal with
these scum is through terror.

And if we kill them all,
who's left to be terrified?

Tell Ming what happens to his soldiers
when he sends them against Borias.

Borias? Yeah?

I want the dead.

- The dead?
- Yeah. These ones and the ones back on the battlefield.

I'm gonna put
them to work. Fine.

Do what you will with them. Yah!

This will convince Ming to talk
more than all of Borias's diplomacy.

We sit out here in the middle of nowhere
while all the riches of Chin await us.

Old families of Chin are very powerful.
We could take 'em one at a time.

First we hit Ming,
then we turn on Lao.

Borias wants to form an alliance
with one family first, before he moves.

And while he waits,
what's to stop Ming and

Lao from forming an
alliance with one another?

Oh, no. No, they don't
want to cooperate.

I say, "Kill 'em all!"

Sit down.

Did you see what he was wearing?

Pure silk, and
he's just a lackey.

I'm telling you, Borias. These
people are ripe for... Quiet.

My humble yurt is unworthy
of your presence, Ming Tzu.

Not at all, Borias.
This is my son,

Ming T'ien.

As sole heir to my kingdom,
I'm teaching him to rule.

He's here to learn
how to deal with thieves.

Insults aren't the best way to
begin negotiations, Ming Tzu.

You misunderstand. I have
the greatest respect for thieves.

Every man born to
wealth has a good thief...

amongst his
ancestors, somewhere.

Remember that, Ming T'ien.

Have a seat. Thank you,
but I would rather stand.

I won't be staying long.

Your offer sounds simple enough. You
raid Lao's region, and I remain neutral.

And in return, you
receive one third of our loot.

- One half.
- No deal!

This woman is in charge?

No, she's not.

But your offer...
It is not an offer.

It is a statement of fact.

If you want my cooperation, you will
give me half of everything you steal.

Half, huh?

You're not gonna
pay this pig half.

I'm sorry to have
wasted your time, Borias,

but clearly your friend is not
interested in doing business.

Wait a minute! Don't
listen to her. Ming Tzu!

Hmph.

He is gone.

Because I called him a
name? Then he's too soft.

You don't understand
these people.

No matter what, you have
to always let them save face.

Saving his ugly mug wasn't
exactly what I had in mind.

Besides, what kind of
a deal was that, huh?

We do all the dirty
work, and he gets half.

You're a fool. Whatever
deal I made with him,

I would then go to Lao
and make a better one.

What do we need
either one of them for?

When Ming sent his soldiers after
us, we chopped 'em up pretty good.

We held our own,

but what if Ming and Lao
were to ally against us?

Then I'd say,

"Kill 'em all." Yeah,
that's what I said.

That was obviously your answer
to everything in those days, Xena.

I can't believe it's the same Borias
who later helped the Centaurs.

We were quite a
pair in those days.

And to think that
two people like that...

made a beautiful
child like Solan.

Hmm. You ain't
heard nothin' yet.

I don't think I wanna hear
any more about this tale of...

war, greed, hate. Hate?

It's not about hate.

It's about love.

Oh!

Lao approaches. Let him wait.

Come on, Xena. We
can do this any time.

Don't be so sure. Ah.

I don't want you
messing things up.

Hyah!

Run to your master. Puppy.

Borias extends the sincerest
welcome to the head of the house of Lao.

I'm Lao Ma, wife
of the Great Lao.

Please forgive my husband for
sending his insignificant wife...

to handle such difficult
affairs of state, but he is very ill.

I am sorry to hear that. You
are very welcome, of course.

I know you're a
great warrior, Borias,

but I have also heard that
you are a man of honor.

You must be Xena.

Oh, you've heard of me. Oh, yes.

They say you're a
dangerous woman.

- Well, they're right.
- - You have nothing to fear, Lao Ma.

We will negotiate with
honor and with fairness.

I hope we will find common
ground on which to stand.

Yah!

That's my piece of
meat you're reaching for.

You're wrong. I don't eat meat.

I apologize for
this... simple dwelling.

It's an honor for me to accept
whatever hospitality you can spare.

What we talked about
tonight will benefit us both.

Yes.

It's an agreement that will
make my husband most happy.

You wanted to kill that
poor, innocent woman...

out of jealousy. Jealousy?

Over Borias? You've
gotta be kidding.

No, Borias and I were just
using each other. Then why?

I wanted to kill Lao Ma,

because I knew it in my heart that
she'd be a civilizing influence on him,

and I liked him
wild, like I was:

an animal, living from one moment
to the next, driven by desire alone.

Did you kill her?

I don't know if you
people pray to the gods,

but if you don't, now would
be a great time to start.

Hiyah!

What happened?

I'm sorry, Borias. I'll
be leaving immediately.

I don't think an alliance
is appropriate now.

It's over, Xena.

You have until sunrise
to get out of this camp.

After that, I'll
kill you on sight.

Xena, when she whispered
in your ear, what did she say?

She said, "Fill yourself with
desire and see only illusion.

Empty yourself of desire and
understand the great mystery of things."

That's good.

I take it that you
didn't listen to her. No.

No, not then. Not
for a long time.

I decided to accomplish what
Borias had only dreamed of.

To get rich with the help of
one of the houses of Chin,

I decided to make
Ming Tzu my creature.

How were you going to do that?

Be appealing to his
sense of family values.

Come on.

Yah!

I've just cut off the flow of blood to
your brain. You'll be dead in a minute.

What do you wanna know? Nothing.

I'm just letting you know how
long ya got left, so you can enjoy it.

Come on.

Yeah.

Yah!

Xena wins again.

You are insane!

And you're scared. Why is that?

You've got Ming and Lao
breathing down my neck.

They think I had something to do
with this. Ming and Lao together?

Nothing brings royal houses
together faster than kidnapped heirs!

If I'm dealing with the both of
them, I'm doubling my demands.

Where is the child?

Hey, Chuang, he
thinks I'm gonna tell him

What I will do, however,

is cut you in on the deal,
if you set up the exchange.

We meet in your yurt on the
plains north of the Great Wall.

Ming brings me 50 of
his best horses and 25...

No, 50 bags of gold
and I give him his boy.

For your part, you
get five percent.

Oh, and, uh, that's not a
offer. It's a statement of fact.

Check the gold.

You saw the horses?

Oh, yeah. Nice.

The boy.

You got a smart kid. 'Course, he got a
whole lot smarter when he was with me.

He's on the third packhorse
out there, under some skins.

Well, that was
a thing of beauty.

As promised. Good.

You will take the gold and
horses. I get the woman.

You're going to die, Xena,
and that's a statement of fact.

You kidnapped that child,

and you would have killed him if
you didn't get what you wanted?

Yes. I can't go
there with you, Xena,

and I don't mean the Kingdom
of Chin. I know what you mean.

You're going through
with this. aren't you? Yes!

Well, I'm turning back!

Who's the Green Dragon? It's
not Borias. He's already dead.

The other guy who betrayed
you. What's his name?

Chuang? No, I killed
him a long time ago.

Ming?

I'm sorry, Xena, but I can't
help you commit murder.

Gabrielle, I am catching a ship here that
will carry me close to the Kingdom of Chin.

If there was ever a time
to turn back, it's now.

I understand.

You owe someone so much...

that you would just throw
away these last few years?

Yes.

Welcome, Lao Ma.

I hope you don't mind us
hunting so close to Lao territory,

but the terrain here is perfect.

- Perfect? For what? - Her.

The woman who succeeded in doing
what a hundred diplomats could not do:

make an alliance
between our two kingdoms.

You plan to hunt her? Yes.

We're going to enjoy
this, aren't we, Ming T'ien?

Well, please do not hesitate to
use Lao land for your pleasure.

I brought something for you,
Ming T'ien. I made it myself.

A beaten, half-dead cripple doesn't
sound very sporting, Ming Tzu.

No, but it will be entertaining.

I must go. Enjoy
your entertainment.

You could have at
least looked at her gift.

Let me see.

Ah! She knows my nickname
for you. Show it to him.

Aaah!

She has to die, Ming
T'ien. She is your enemy.

Come with me if you
wish your freedom.

Hurry. He'll be back
on the scent soon.

Why are you doing this?

I have been blessed, or cursed, with the
ability to see into the souls of others.

You don't know it yet, Xena,
but you're a remarkable woman,

capable of greatness.

Come quick. We'll take
refuge in my home. Hyah! Hyah!

Lao Ma, my hounds have
followed Xena's trail here.

They're probably just hungry.

Search the room.

Now, if you'll
respect my privacy?

You had better
not be hiding her.

My lord, I would never
hide what is yours.

When I arranged
your marriage to Lao,

I expected you to show
more loyalty towards me!

I was a courtesan
and you sold me.

You expect loyalty?

You're a strange
woman, Lao Ma: soft...

and hard at the same time.

Like water.

Nothing is soft as water, yet
who can withstand the raging flood.

Are you going up
against a dragon? No.

Is the Green Dragon
a person? Yes.

Which person? The
one I'm gonna kill.

You owe someone so much...

that you would just throw
away these last few years?

- Wake up!
- Help me! Help me!

You understand hatred, but
you have never given in to it.

Take the valley!

There's only one way to end this
cycle of hatred, and it's through love.

We're gonna kill 'em all! Yeah!

You owe someone so much...

that you would just throw
away these last few years?

I'm sorry, Xena. I
couldn't let you do this.

Lao Ma said you'd
return one day.

Lock her up.
