All language subtitles for 3x03 - The Dirty Half Dozen

Athena! Wh-- why?

6000 men-- groups of Athens.

My men-- all gone.

He's behind you.

What are you?
Where did your army come from?

For Athena!

Decent!

Congratulations, Agathon.

Your army's done well.

Well? Six thou, man--
instant legend!

You and me--
we work good together.

And this metal?

There's no stopping me.

Of course, that means
no stopping you, War God.

I couldn't have given the metal
of Haphaestus to just anyone.

It's time for the new generation
to lead the old out of the darkness.

Classic-- but don't
play salesman, Ares.

I know what you want out of me,

and I'll give it to you.

'Cause, all I've ever
wanted is to rule the world--

and this metal gives it to me.

There he is.

Walsim--
murderer, assassin! Killer!

You killer, you!

He's a killer!

Who is that?!

Fire!

He's getting away!

How's it going, Xena?

I was hoping you'd
remember that trick.

I have a proposition for you.

If you refuse, I take you
back to the ax-man.

Sounds pretty one-sided--
and if I say yes?

Chances are, you'll die.

We're going up against Ares.

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...

The Dirty Half Dozen

Ah, there was no proof I did it.

He was stabbed with a spear.

You were holding it at the time.

Well, if you wanna go
technical on me.

How's it going, roomies?

You're just as dead
as the rest of us.

Yeah, right. Just remember
that, for the time being.

I got no problem with
shortening the time.

Xena?!

Darnell, Monlik?
Down there-- now!

Glaphyra? I know you're in here.

There was a lady in here?

I'm no lady.

Sorry, gentlemen--
this is a private party.

Don't follow unless you
wanna be buried alive.

Nice collection.

OK-- I figure, we got
three things in common.

We're all killers;

we don't know each other;

but, we all know you-- personally.

We don't have time for
chit-chat or reminiscing,

so I'll do the introductions.

Monlik here, was a master thief--

taught Autolycus a thing or two.

Darnelle, I found in
a small village--

trained him up to be a gladiator.

He was an unbeatable killer.

Your training was good--
my talent was a gift.

And Walsim?

Walsim was the finest
assassin I ever trained.

He partnered with
Thersites for a while.

You introduced him to me--

and I hear you offed him.

Glaphyra? Glaphyra, when I met her,

was eager to see the world.

She ended up a slaver--

selling men to traders
from the south.

Just men?

I specialize--

but none of this explains
why you brought us here.

Ares-- she wants us
to go up against Ares.

If you agree, it's your
chance at freedom--

maybe even to start again.

If not, I take you back to prison.

Going up against the
God of War is insane.

There's something
you're not telling us.

What is it?

There must be thousands
of them over these hills--

the Athenian infantry.

They're all like that--

swords, shields, armor--
cut right through.

What could do this?

We're about to find out.

Where'd you learn that?!

I'm a princess--!

Walsim, you can't
rely on your weapon!

It's useless!

Come on! Back to the forge!

We'd better get going.

They'll be back soon
with reinforcements.

Wait a minute. What was that?

What were their weapons made of?

That's the metal of Hephaestus.

Ares stole the secret and gave
it to a warlord named Agathon.

That's what we're up against.

Make sure the edges are sharp.

Now, all you gotta
do is find an army.

You kiddin' me?!

Once word gets out
about that Athenian gig,

I'll have bad boys bustin'
down the gates to join in.

That trick took only a few hundred.

So, what do you say,
we march on Athens in a month?

There's a fire in you
I really like, but--

don't be too much of a hurrier--

Yeah, yeah, I'm not like Callisto--

I can pace myself, War God.

Whoa!
Nice 'ceps!

Do you work out,
or are all you gods cut?

You have something
else to deal with--

Xena-- she's on her way.

- Xena?
- Yeah.

The former number one Ares femme--

the owner of the-- of the chakram?

Others have made the mistake
of underestimating her.

No, no, no, no, War God--

nobody underestimates Xena.

They underestimate you.

You've got a--
hot spot for the killer babe,

and when push comes
to shove, you follow your,

lower instincts--

know what I mean?

You are smarter than you look--
and you're not frightened of me.

It's annoying, but-- it sets you
apart from the others

- I've dealt with.
- Except Xena.

She didn't cut you
any slack, either.

Whatever-- I need your word,

or whatever it is that
binds you god-types.

Xena's time with me has ended.

I won't intervene.

Good--

'Cause I'm-- gonna kill her.

It's getting late.
We'll stay here for the night.

OK. All right--
OK, we need to build a fire pit,

grab some wood, and,

get some water for the morning--

or I can do it.

Glaphyra and Monlik,
start unpacking the tents;

Walsim, dig the fire pit;

Darnell, you're on wood patrol.
Move it. Here.

It is gonna be a long night.

I'll have to stay up
and keep an eye on them.

You afraid they might run?

Well that, and their
habit of killing people.

Why don't you do a rotation?

Each one can take
a turn watching the other?

Murderers guarding murderers--
that's not a good idea.

Maybe not.

Can I ask you something?

These people-- all of 'em--

were they murderers
before you met them?

I mean, it seems like, maybe they--

Gabrielle-- it was me.

I changed them.

Before they met me, they were--

They were like me-- real people--

maybe even good people.

Walsim-- I--

I could see him as
a farmer at one time.

He was a carpenter.

I wonder, what would have
happened if I had met you before--

before-- you know--

Gabrielle, I could never
see you as being evil.

There is a difference
between them and you.

What difference?

Xena, I have changed
so much since I met you.

I wonder how much
of that is timing.

Does it really matter?

Am I really who I am?
Or am I what you made me?

We better get going.

If I'm gonna stay up all night,

I wanna get an early start.

OK-- are you--
from the land of Nomidia?

Nope.

Are you--?

All right, now, you listen up.

We've got a couple
of days ahead of us,

before we get to Agathon's castle--

and we need to get
this started out right.

So-- you just forget all about
the fact that you are all murderers

who would kill
anyone in their sleep--

especially, one another--
all right?

All right.

They can be a team tomorrow.

Tonight, I get some sleep.

What?

This is crazy.

So put down your weapon.

You first.

Murderers guarding murderers--
it was a good idea--

All right-- weapons down on
the count of three--

one, two, three.

Ah-- another day.

Rise and shine!

I guess I'm really
a morning person.

Can we-- lower the weapons,
at least over breakfast?

I know why I'm here.
I know why they're here.

But what are you here for?

Emergency food?

Lay off her, Walsim!

Yeah-- she's a princess.

Besides-- I can think of one
reason to have her around.

So! You were talking
about breakfast, huh?

Why do we need these men?

Just the two of us--
we can do this.

And your friend, if you
really think we need her.

I need everybody.

Do you know what men are like?

They can't be
trusted at their word.

Xena? He's dead.

Poison-- I'll bet.
One of you poisoned him.

You're the one with the cross-bow.

Maybe we should look
for an arrow in his back.

Maybe you wanna look
for one in your chest.

Monlik-- wakey-wakey.

What?!

Yeah-- we stay up all night;
he sleeps like a baby.

All right, we got a lot to do,

so we're going to split up.

Glaphyra and Darnelle,
there's a village not far back.

I want you to get some
supplies that we need but--

I want you to buy them.

Now, if I had my choice
of partners, here--

You don't. Monlik and Walsim,

I need you to go
ahead to the castle.

Monlik,

I want a complete map
of the interior.

Done, but it's gonna
take a while to get there.

And what's the great
Xena going to be doing?

Seems like you might
wanna come with us.

We need a diversion.

I'm gonna see King Gregor
and ask him to mobilize his army.

Agathon has to believe
that he's under attack.

All right-- we meet back here
before the sun is high.

After you--

I don't think I've ever been a
part of a true disaster before.

You are such a cynic.

You know--

I used one just like this to
win the finals at Magara--

Xena was really proud
of me back then.

Of course, I nailed one of
the judges with my second throw.

Boys and their toys.

I'll take that as a compliment.

This is essential equipment.

To your ego! And a spear, no less!

Could you be a bit more obvious?!

Actually-- it's a javelin.

Now, do I sense more than just

a little anger toward me--
'cause I'm a man?

And why not? Men are all the same.

They use you; they betray you;

and they spit you out!

They're only as good as
what you can get out of them.

Oh-- as opposed to the sweet,

ungrateful creatures of
the earth that women are.

We protect them; we feed them;
we clothe them;

we-- give them a purpose for being.

And this is the gratitude?

You were born of a woman!

I was born of a man.
I was delivered by a woman.

How would you like those apples,
sweetcheeks-- huh?

I only meant it as an observation,
not as an insult.

And, uh-- as for the apples--

how'd you like one?

Men are so easy.

Everything you asked for.

Bought-- not stolen.

Sorry we didn't bring
back any change.

Gregor has agreed to
use his army to help us,

but we have to move fast.

Monlik, how does it
look inside the castle?

Bad-- very bad.

Anyone trying to break
in will be slaughtered.

This is happy news.

We have to get inside the castle,
into the armory, quickly.

Monlik's map will
help us with that.

Well, that's something
we need to talk about.

You see--

as I was climbing
around that castle--

I realized-- I'm the key.

What are you getting at?

Simple-- the secret to that
metal's worth a lot of money.

Now-- the old Xena,

she would've been
the first to realize that.

The new Xena--

well--

she's more interested
in stopping Ares.

Or-- maybe, giving this
secret to everybody.

Now, that would level
the playing field, wouldn't it?

The problem is--
there's no profit in it for us--

just the risk of being killed.

Your reward is in your freedom--

and the choices that you
can make afterward.

She's wrong! Because I have
the knowledge she needs.

And without it,
everything stops right here--

unless, of course,
you wanna try to stop us.

Either way--your plan fails.

Don't make this mistake, Monlik.

I'm giving you your chance.

To do what? Become like you?

Roam the countryside,
helping people?

Dragging around with me some--

half-starved kid
pretending she's a friend?

Well, I don't think so.

Very well. If that's the way
you feel, you can go.

I'll come after you later.

But right now, I want that map.

That's gotta be uncomfortable.

Great! Now, how're we gonna get in?

Well, we'll just have to
think of something else.

Go pack up our things-- now!

Xena--

They did nothing.
Did you see that?

If they had'a joined me

or backed up Monlik,
that would've been something.

I need to know if they can
work together as a team.

All right.
Without Xena, let's talk.

I don't think we have a chance
in Tartarus without that map.

Xena thinks there's another way.

Xena also thinks she
can go up against Ares.

We're all a little shaky
on that one, right?

Yeah, look-- we all know Xena.
Or at least, we knew her.

We know her strengths,
and-- her weaknesses.

What's your point?

My point is, that she can take us all
on individually, but--together--

it wouldn't be that easy.
What if I had a plan?

Is this a private get-together,
or can anyone join in?

Nothing private.
Walsim, here, was just telling us,

what he saw in Agathon's castle--

defenses and all.

Yeah, we were just--
talking about our chances.

Well, we better get to sleep.

We'll see Agathon's
castle soon enough.

It's about time you showed up.

What is it about me?

You always seem to
know when I'm around.

I must have a certain--
presence-- around you.

You say 'presence';
I say 'stench'.

Score one for the Warrior Princess.

You were wrong to give the metal
of Hephaestus to Agathon.

I-- I did it--
for the sake of peace.

Peace through slaughter.

Doesn't matter.

Agathon is brash,
obnoxious, disrespectful,

and smart-- very smart--

much like the young
Xena I took under my wing.

That can't be good for you.

I wasn't the easiest warrior
you ever dealt with.

No-- no-- you never let me
get away with anything.

You had the nerve to question me--

and you never took
what I said at face value.

Funny that.

Well, neither does-- Agathon.

He looks for answers
beneath the obvious.

Example?

He knows Gregor's army
has no intention of attacking.

Agathon's kept his
army in the castle.

Give this up, Xena.

I'm not gonna make
any deals this time.

I promised Agathon
I would not interfere.

If you attack--
he's gonna kill you.

Make it look good.

Keep going.

There she is!

Hey, Xena!
Lookey what I found.

Your chakram sure would
come in handy right now.

I guess you've gotta
pick your back-up better.

Sorry, Xena. You offered freedom.

Agathon offered cash.

I told you I had a plan.

You should've been more
like Darnelle, Glaphyra.

If you'd come to me
and wanted in--

well-- maybe you'd be
out here with us.

Officers in the new army of Ares.

I suppose it's too late
to consider my options.

Way late.

Do not get near the bars,

and don't take your eyes
off 'em--especially Xena.

I thought Darnelle
might've been different--

I should've known.

Different--

you mean, from all the other
cutthroats, thieves, murderers.

No, little girl.
Check the arrangement.

Do you see any men in this cell?

I'm not a little girl--

and I have met some good men.

I married one.

Yeah? And how long was he good?

I notice he's not with you now!

Maybe he lost interest.

Or maybe he decided to
find another conquest!

Maybe he was murdered.

By Callisto-- a woman.

I've tried them already.

They're made of that same metal.

She hasn't seen much
of the world, has she?

Gabrielle's been through
more than you'd think--

yes, more than you.

And, despite everything,

she doesn't carry
hatred toward others.

Good people don't.

And the bad people?

The bad people are us, Glaphyra--

who I was; who you are.

You know, you're so quick
to blame everything on men,

you have never once--

looked inside yourself
for the answers.

It's something that I had to learn.

Gabrielle is a good teacher.

Who knows if--

if I had met her
back when I met you,

maybe it'd be me who changed.

What was his name?

Gives you a happy, doesn't it?

All these toys, and nothing
else like them, except this.

Without this puppy,

Xena's just another
wannabe Agathon.

We'd like to discuss our agreement.

Especially the cash.

The cash comes later--

after the conquering
and general mayhem, you know?

Meanwhile, chill!
Pick out some hardware.

Go kill a peasant.

Relax.

We are set for life.

So-- I guess, uh--

I guess that chain must
be made of Hephaestus'metal too,

or it wouldn't
cut through it, right?

I want you to know,
when I kill you,

it won't be because you're a man--

Oh-- really? Well it should be--

'cause I am a man--
a red-blooded, two-fisted,

'we-rule-the-world-whether
-you-like-it-or-not' man.

Hey! Get away from the bar!

You didn't have to be
that convincing!

Which way to the armory?

OK-- down that hallway,
and through double doors.

And the furnace is there--
just like you said--

along with all
the weapons we need--

if we can get to 'em.

This is all part of a plan?

I convinced Darnell to sell us out.

Ah, it wasn't much
of a sale, actually.

Xena needed to get in.

What better way
than to get captured?

Look, Darnell, I didn't know--

Ah, no, no, no, no--
you owe me an apology.

You owe me big.

And don't worry
about forgetting it--

I won't let you.

Hey! That's not how
a princess fights!

Amazon Princess!

Leave him!
We don't have time for this.

This is a blast shield.

If it were to plug up the furnace,

the whole castle would go up.

Let's do it!

First-- all the weapons in here.

You're kidding!

Do it.

That's it!

What about the warriors?!

With Gregor out on the battlefield,

Agathon's brought all his
troups inside the castle.

They go when the castle goes.
Step back!

Let's get out of here!

Nooooo!

Why is it that everyone
wants to kill me?

Your death will take a very long--

painful time, because
you didn't just betray me!

You betrayed him!

Intervening directly, Ares?

That's not your style.

I thought Agathon was supposed
to be your ultimate warrior!

You've got it-- and your
blood is gonna to prove it!

Gabrielle, Glaphyra, get out.

I'm not leaving!

Like she said! Besides--

we have to protect
our men, don't we?!

How about it, Ares?

You don't want second
best to rule your empire.

If you have to bail him out now,
he's just not the right one.

Don't listen to her garbage!

You know I'm the one!

I don't have to prove anything!

Agathon, I gave you my
word I wouldn't intervene.

This is between the two of you.

That's just fine with me, War God.

I don't need your help.

Just don't get in the way.

Come on! It's gonna blow!

Come on!

Darnell! Come on. Let's go.

Stand clear of the door!

If you wanna go back
to the way you were,

it's your choice.

Yeah-- but at least
we have a choice.

I mean-- I'm not
saying I'm gonna

follow the straight
and narrow, but--

well-- I got some
thinking to do.

Yeah, me too.
You look after Xena-- OK?

I will.

See you later-- Princess.

So! I'm heading east.

How about you?

Seems like as good
a direction as any.

I think I can put up with
the company for a while.

Don't go falling in
love with me, now!

I'd sooner fall for a toad.

Well, it's a start!

You started off with four,
and you redeemed two.

All things considered,
it's not bad odds.

Ain't that somethin'?

I've got that answer
to your question.

Are you who you are,
or are you who I made you?

And?

You're Gabrielle--

bard, Amazon Princess--
best friend.

Nobody made you who you are--

it was already there.

The question is,

who would I be without you?

I can answer that.

You'd still be heroic Xena.

You were on that path when we met.

Are you crazy?

Without you to keep me on
the straight and narrow--

You'd have managed.

Hey!

Just not as well.

Hang on a minute.
