All language subtitles for 1x22 - Callisto

I don't wanna die!

Kill them all!

Help! My baby!

Run, woman!
They're trying to kill us all!

Trying?I think we're succeeding.

Stop!

Let her live.
You old crone.

Tell the world what we did here.

Let them know what devastation
awaits anyone who defies me.

Who are you?

I'm Xena, Warrior Princess!

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...

Callisto

Innkeeper, please-- wine!

You look like you could use
that more than me.

You all right?

No-- but thank you for your kindness.
My name is Melas.

Xena.

Xena?
The Warrior Princess?

Some people call me that.

Go ahead-- murder me--
just like you murdered my son.

What are you saying?

I found a woman from my
village lying half-dead in the road.

She said you and your army
murdered everyone but her--

even my-- 6-yr-old son.

That's a lie.

Then why does every traveller
between here and Corinth

have a story about
an army led by Xena?

That's true.

Gabrielle, come on.

I'll avenge my son's death.
I won't rest until you're dead.

You'll do what you
think you have to--

but you've got
the wrong person.

We'll head toward
Corinth and see if

we can make any sense
of what he was saying.

Is that Xena?

I think it's her.

Are you all right?

See that look of fear and
hatred on their faces?

Yeah.

I used to wanna see that look.

It meant I was doing my job right.

Xena!

Yeah?

Joxer, the mighty, at your service.

Get lost!

You know, a warrior
needs-- wait-- listen.

Don't judge me because I was
travelling with those sheep.

I can be of invaluable service
to a woman like you.

Yeah-- as a matter of fact, um,
I'm a warrior of some repute.

I never heard of you.

Listen, I wasn't talking
to you, little girl.

Hey!

Now, listen-- I'm fierce and
I have a lust for blood.

As a matter of fact,
if a couple of days

go by and I haven't
shed some blood,

I get very depressed.

Blood and me go together
like a horse and chariot.

I once bathed in
a tub of blood.

My nickname is 'Bloody Joxer.'

You like the sight of blood
so much, keep talking.

I'm disappointed in you, Xena!

I thought you'd recognize
talent when you saw it!

Oh-- she must be threatened.

I can understand that-- what,
with my masculine prowess and stuff.

You're a slow learner.

I don't care how long it takes.

I will see you dead one day.

You know, if she was the
monster you think she is,

she'd have killed you by now.

She likes to see me
helpless in my rage.

I will continue to hunt you
even if it costs me my life.

I'm going after whoever's
behind these raids.

So, be smart, and
stay out of my way.

Goodbye, Melas.
I hope you find peace.

I will once I know her evil heart
has stopped beating.

You want it?
Come and get it.

I'm good! As good as you--

and why not?
You made me.

It was you who shot me
with that poison dart.

Yes-- you see, it left me free
to revive your reputation

as a wonton killer of
women and children.

I never killed
women and children.

Well-- you have now.

What did you mean when
you said, 'I made you.'?

Do you remember Cirra?

I've just blocked off the flow
of blood to your brain.

You'll be dead in seconds
unless I release you.

Who was that woman?

Don't bother struggling.
Just spit it out.

Her name is Callisto!

What's she got to do with Cirra?

Her family died there!

What does Callisto want?

Answer the question
or I just walk away.

She wants the world to
see you as the demon!

Then, she wants to
kill you in combat!

Where's she headed?

Delphi-- she plans to murder
the oracle and blame it on you!

When?

At tomorrow's Apollo sacrifice!

Now-- remember to tell her this.

She's right, I made her-- and
I'll be the one to destroy her.

Be careful;
I am in a bad mood!

I saw everything.

I know now it was not
you who killed my son.

I'm sorry.
Save your breath.

I don't want your apology.

Let me travel with you.

I'll do anything to
help you kill her.

I don't need your help.

Look-- I'm gonna go
after her anyway.

Why not work with me?

I suppose I could keep
you from getting killed.

Enough!

Callisto!

So-- she put her touch on you?

Right away.

And you told her everything?

Everything-- just as you wanted.

Good-- and then she--
she let you go with some stupid

message--something heroic about
stopping me, huh?

Yes--you were right
about everything.

Oh--oh, Xena, Xena--
I can call your every move.

Ow, ow, watch the suit,
would ya?

We found this scum
hiding in the supply

wagon we stole from
the other village.

He says he has something
invaluable to offer you.

Warrior Queen-- forgive my intrusion.

'Warrior Queen'-- I like that.

It's so much better than--
'Warrior Princess'-- you know.

Yes--

Yes it is. Now what is it
you have to offer me?

My services.

Your services-- really?

And what is it exactly
that-- you do, hmm?

What do I do?
I'm a warrior!

Oh, you're a warrior.
How silly of me.

And why is it, dear man,
that you look like an idiot, then?

Amm, I cultivate that look
to make me seem less threatening.

You see, uh-- people
don't fear worthless idiots,

so it's easy for me to
get the drop on 'em.

See?

So, you want to do something
to prove yourself to me, then?

Anything-- please.

Hmm-- you know
who Xena is, don't you?

She travels with someone.

An irritating little blond-- I know.

Yes, her name is Gabrielle.

You bring her to me-- and you may
join my legion-- as a warrior.

Consider the deed
done, my Queen.

We're-- we're all on
the same team, now.

Who knows?
He might be able to capture the brat.

But even if he doesn't,
every distraction for Xena

will help me carry out my plan.

It's almost close to
completion, Theodorus.

Tomorrow, at Delphi, Xena's
weapon will be found,

in the oracle's skull.

When was the last time you
got some sleep, Melas?

The night before I buried my son.

Why don't you lay down
and close your eyes?

You might drift off.

Drift off. You don't get it, do you?
I don't want to drift off.

I'm not trying to run
away from the pain.

I want to satisfy it.

And the only way I can do that
is with Callisto's blood.

You'd feel the same way
if you lost what I did.

Maybe.

Do you wanna talk about it?

What?

Cirra.

It was just another
village to conquer

nothing out of the ordinary.

The fire broke out
and I don't know if it was

one of my men or just an accident,
but, there was a strong

wind, and-- those flames just

swept through that town
like a wave of death.

But the people were
huddled in their houses,

'cause they were afraid of my army.

That was one time
when my army was

responsible for the death
of women and children.

And there was just
a handful of survivors;

obviously, Callisto was one of them.

You know, she'll do
anything for revenge.

I don't blame her.

Uh-- I do. When will this end?
Look at Melas.

I know that he's a good man, but

this hate is making him
an obsessed killer.

Somebody has to say no
to this lust for revenge.

That is so hard to do.

You did it! When your village
was destroyed, you were--

infected with bloodlust.
But you overcame it!

I was lucky. I saw what I'd become,
and I was able to turn around.

But if something happened
to Mother, or Hercules,

or you-- I might do just the same.

No-- no look, you promise me.

If something happens to me,
you will not become a monster.

There's only one way to
end this cycle of hatred,

and it's through love--
and forgiveness.

Don't you go changing, Gabrielle.

I like you just the way you are.

Go get some sleep.

No-- no, you promise me.

I promise.

Go-- go on.

The oracle should be arriving
soon to give her prophecy.

Let's spread out and
look for Callisto.

Give a yell as soon as you see her.

You wanna fight, huh?

Fine with me.

You made me mad, now, little girl.

You've just made a serious mistake.

You broke my crossbow!

That does it!

I'm gonna rip you apart
with my bare hands!

What are you doing?!
Now, stay down!

Are you kidding, me?
I got you right where I want you.

Will you stay down?!
There's something I gotta do!

Go ahead. Run-- you coward!

Ah, no, no, no, no, no

No!

Argo won't obey you, and if
you don't stop kicking her,

I'll break your ankles.

Oh, the good Xena.
What happened to you?

One day you just decided
to fight for justice?

Something like that.

And all the shattered people
you left behind were now

supposed to cheer you, is that it?

No. What happened to
you was terrible.

It was my fault and I'm sorry.

Oh-- well! That makes
all the difference.

And now, we can be
the best of friends.

That's what I think
of your apology.

Xena! Xena-- Melas has gone crazy.

He's organizing a lynch mob.

Well, I'm not afraid to die,

if that's what you're worried about.

What about you, Xena?
How will you feel to see your

creation executed without
a fair trial, hmm?

Don't listen to her, Xena.

You can't torture yourself
over what she's become.

No, no, no, of course not.
No, it's not her fault at all

that I dream every
night of my mother's

screams coming from
my burning home!

You tell me Xena,
do you sleep will at night?!

No, I don't.

Good-- well I can take whatever
it is you think I have

coming to me but you tell me this,

Xena have you ever been

tried for all of the things
you have done?

Have you ever been handed

over to a mob that
wanted your blood?

What would you do if I let you go?

What are you doing?

I changed; so can she.

No, her heart has been
eaten away by hatred.

The sight, just the sight,
of Xena, Warrior Princess,

arguing on my behalf amuses
me so-- let me tell you.

Let me answer
your question of

what I would do
if you let me go.

You let me go, and I will dedicate
my life to killing everything

you've loved-- your
friends, your family,

your reputation,
even your horse.

You see, I am being
so honest with you--

because the idea of your pity--
is worse than death for me.

You see-- you created a monster
with integrity, Xena.

Scary, isn't it?

Now-- take me to the mob.

You've done well, Xena.
We thank you for bringing her in.

You'll hand her over to us.

I'm taking her to the town jail,
where she'll wait for a fair trial.

She must be punished!

She's a demon!

She's a monster!

Don't worry-- we'll get her.
Yeah! Death to Callisto!

Death! Death!

We'll get you, Callisto!
We'll get you!

Xena-- they're coming.

But you know that already, don't you?

What will you do?

How many of them will you kill?

You're beginning to hate me.

You've fought it because of some

silly sense of guilt, huh?

Now, I'm a painful
reminder of what

you used to be, and how you
may never leave it behind.

Ooh-- that crowd wants my blood.

Why not let them have me?

It's the easy way out.
Nobody'll blame you.

Don't worry, I won't let anything
happen to you without a fair trial.

You know-- there used
to be some respect

mixed up in my hatred for you.
But--

not anymore.

Your petty scruples are
an embarrassment.

As a villain, you were awesome.

As a hero, you are
a sentimental fool.

Got'cha!

You've gotta be kidding.

Once I have you,
I'm trading you for Callisto.

She'll reward me well.

You broke my nose.

I hate it when that happens!

Keep your head back!

Use this.

Now, why are you attacking me?

I am a warrior, and I'm trying to
make a name for myself!

Well, I've got some
bad news for you.

You're not a warrior.

Oh, great-- hit a man
when he's down.

Listen, I've beaten the stuffing
out of you both times we met.

Listen-- you don't understand.

I come from a long
line of warlords!

It's like a family tradition!

Well, I'm really sorry,

but you don't have
that warrior thing.

You don't think so, huh?

No--

but that's all right;
that's all right.

There are other things you can do.

You know-- what interests you, now?

I like to steal.

Other than that.

I like fishing.

Well, there you go.
You'd make a great fisherman.

You think?

Yep, absolutely.
And I-- I've got a feel for people.

Thanks-- I'm Joxer, by the way.

Gabrielle.

Got you now!

This should bring her out.

Perfect-- I'm gonna die
just like my family.

It's kind of full circle,
don't you think?

Oh, no, no, no!
Not to fear, Xena--

I won't be screaming
out like my sister.

Come on, we're leaving.

She has kidnapped the girl!

Somebody help!

Where is she?
She was right!

What are you talking about?

Gabrielle-- she said my hate
would lead to others being hurt.

What are you saying?

Callisto captured Gabrielle
on her way out of town.

I've betrayed
everything I believe in.

People like us should listen
to people like Gabrielle.

Hurry, now!

So-- what do you think?

I think Xena's gonna
wipe the floor with you.

I share your respect
for Xena's abilities.

I know what she's capable of.

Then you must be scared witless.

Not at all. I relish the challenge.
I can take her.

In your dreams.

Well-- when she gets here,
she'll have such a sweet

surprise waiting for her.
Anyways-- either way, I win!

Quit that!

I found this worm
sneaking around again!

What do you want?

I told you what you had to do
to gain my favor-- and you failed.

See the girl!

I captured the girl.

I softened her up for you.

I mean, just minutes
before you got her,

I was pummeling her senseless

Yes-- and what were you
hitting her with, your nose?

Silence!

There is-- but another way
you can prove your worth.

Name it, and I'll do it.

Bring her down.

Do her.

Do who?

Her-- the irritating blonde.
Slit her throat.

I-- uh-- oh. I-- uh-- sl-- sl--
slit her-- slit her throat?

Yes-- pierce the skin under
the chin with the blade and

tear a hole-- this way-- like this.

OK.

Yes.

Listen-- don't you think
she'd be worth more alive?

I mean-- hey--
we could trade her for Xe-

it would make Xena
really mad, really mad.

When Xena hears about this, she'll

I want her dead! Do it! Do it!

I-I can't.

Just as I thought

the man's backbone is mush.

Chain him up.

We'll have fun killing
the jellyfish later.

Now, we determine
who is the best.

You and I in a fight till death.

And to make things even
more interesting-- take her up!

Take her up!

Do something!

What do you expect me to do?!

Xena!

Oh, this is really high.

Light it!

Anytime you're ready, Xena.

Come on Xena!
You're almost there!

Xena!

Kill her!

Come on, Xena!

Go Xena! Hurry!

Come on! Hurry!

Come on!

Help! Yeah!

The rope's burning!
So fall a little to the left!

Hurry!

Hold on, Gabrielle!
Hold on; don't panic.

A little higher!

Come on, Gabrielle.

In a way, I'm disappointed, Xena.
There was a part of me

that hoped that you would win
and put out the rage in my heart.

Sometimes, it even scares me.

But then I get over it.

Nooo!

Let it burn.

No! Noooo!

I'm glad you saved Callisto.

It was the right thing to do.

The right thing to do
that's what they think.
