All language subtitles for 3x14-Forgiven

Worshipers of Apollo,
you have come to this temple...

on this day of cleansing to be
purified for past misdeeds.

This blessing is of no worth
if you leave here...

and once again soil your souls
with willful and selfish acts.

But if you truly desire
to make a new start,

the blessed Urn of Apollo will
anoint you with the purity of hope.

Please come forward.

You are forgiven
for past misdeeds.

Now go and do good.

You are forgiven
for past misdeeds.

Now go and do good.

You are forgiven
for past misdeeds.

Now go and do good.

You are--

You pour that stuff on my head,
and you're a dead man.

Hold it right there!

You are stealing
the Urn of Apollo!

- Very good.
- And who said priests were dumb?

And, by the way,

you're forgiven.

You see, the Urn of Apollo gives
a new start to so many people.

No urn can do that.
That comes from within.

Well, not all of us
are strong enough to

face the jaws of our
conscience alone.

People come to me
who are close to

being driven mad by
remorse and guilt.

Soldiers who have killed
too often in battle,

rich men and women
who have nightmares

about what they did to
accumulate their wealth.

The urn gives them strength
to face those demons within.

Do you understand?

I do.

We'll get your urn back.

Thank you.

I'm gonna get Argo.
We'll set off once I get back.

Okay.

- Did you throw that?
- Yeah.

- What's your problem?
- Your face.

Then don't look at it.

Look.

If you don't like the food,

may I suggest you find some
other way to express it.

What kind of wimp are you?

I just threw a plate of gruel
on you, and all you do is talk.

You and I are gonna
settle this right here.

Look.

I think you have me confused
with somebody else.

Yeah, you wish.

I don't know what's
bothering you,

but I have no intention
of fighting.

I think you're a coward.

Well, I don't care
what you think.

Not my ear!

Hold it!

Xena, I'm here
to replace blondie!

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...

Forgiven

Xena, I'll understand,
just this once,

if you're so angry you wanna
pummel her for a while.

I'm not gonna do that.

Well, then hold
her while I do it!

You want some more, blondie?
Come on! Come on!

You listen to me, little girl.

I've got no interest
in making a change.

Blondie--

Gabrielle here is my partner,
and that's the way it's gonna stay.

So get lost, huh?

But you don't know how
valuable I could be to you!

Take some advice:
Don't get in our way again, or...

next time you're gonna get
a real beating.

I know who stole Apollo's urn.

- The Red--
- Valley gang.

They're the only bunch in the area
who'd make a move like that.

I'm not impressed.

Well, I know where
one of their hideouts is!

How do you know that?

I used to hang with
some of them guys.

Figures.

Hey, look, I never said
I was a Goody Two-shoes,

but I'm here to
turn it around!

I wanna be a hero
and fight for good,

protect wimps and kick
the crap out of jerks!

I know I could do it if somebody
would just give me a chance.

Come on! Let me just show
you where their hideout is.

I won't pick on your
little buddy anymore.

We don't need your help.

I heard you were pretty
bad once upon a time.

Somebody must have given you
a chance to turn it all around.

What a crock!

Why not use your chakram?

To do what?

Ricochet off a couple
of rocks, slice off

a piece of her ear and
scare her witless.

I don't think
that'll be necessary.

Are we going to let her
stalk us like this?

That really bothers you, huh?

Yes!

Okay.

I'm not gonna fight ya.

I just wanted to tell ya, you don't
need me to turn your life around.

You wanna do good?
Do it!

- Then you'll be good.
- That's what I'm here for.

I wanna get that urn
back for those suckers

who believe in that
kind of thing.

That's good, isn't it?

Yeah, but me and her,
we don't need any help.

Come on! Let me just show
you where their hideout is.

It'll be my first step.

You made a real bad
start with my friend.

All right.
I'll give you that.

I'll kiss up to
her if you want.

I can be just as phony
as the next gal.

Look, this is not gonna work.
I am sorry.

Fine.

You think I'm a lost cause,
don't you?

Well, everybody else does,
so why should I be surprised?

Hold it.

Come on.

What's going on?

Tara's gonna show us
where the hideout is.

- What?
- Yeah.

I'm sorry I gave you such
a whipping back there in the tavern.

I shouldn't have kicked
your butt like that.

All right.
You made your point.

Can I talk to you for a minute?

Hold this.

- Yeah?
- Why do we need her?

We can follow their tracks
like we usually do.

Gabrielle, she is trying
to turn her life around.

Xena, listen to me.
She bit off part of my ear!

Well, only a little bit.
And she apologized.

You call that an apology?
Look.

There's something that
I'm not getting here--

something you're
not telling me.

She reminds me
a little bit of me.

Oh, no.

I knew you were evil,
but you were obnoxious too?

When I was young--
before my village was attacked--

I used to hang with the young
bucks in Amphipolis.

I was pretty wild.

If somebody had given
me a little guidance,

then maybe I would've been better
equipped to handle what lay ahead.

Here's the deal.

Let's see how it goes
as far as the hideout,

and if she gives you any more guff,
I will straighten her out.

Okay?

I guess it can't hurt to
give her a chance.

Thank you.

Come on.

Through there.
Nine of 'em.

I figure, if we jump 'em from
three directions, we can take--

That's not gonna happen.
That urn is fragile.

In an all-out fight it
could get broken.

So what do we do?

I'm gonna get closer and
try to isolate one of 'em.

And put your squeeze on him,
or whatever you call it.

- Oh, this I gotta see.
- Maybe some other time.

- But--
- You're staying.

This I do alone.

Good luck.

I told you to stay put.

I've gotta see that pinch thing.
It's legendary.

- Tara, go back now!
- Come on, Xena! I can help!

- I don't need your help.
- You gotta let me prove myself.

Tara, I am warning you.

You don't trust me, do you?

Go back now!

Hey! Tara?
What are you doing here?

I've got some information
you might be interested in.

What's that?

Somebody's sneaking up on you
in those bushes over there.

No--
You don't need them.

A man like you
can do this alone.

Let's go.

Right over there.

This is so great.

You're gonna die, Lark,
unless you start singing.

Tara, shut up!
Where's the urn?

It-- It-- It isn't here.

May you rest in peace.

I'm telling the truth.
I swear.

Wayan and some of
the others took it north.

They're gonna
meet up with some

Silesian traders who
give gold for it.

He's telling the truth.

He hasn't got the guts to play
this tough a game of chicken.

Hey! What do you
think you're doing?

I'm gonna knock him out.
This guy's real scum.

You wanna work
with me, you don't

kick people when
they're unconscious!

All right. Fine.
As long as I know the rules.

It's okay to knock 'em out
after you put the pinch on 'em,

but no smacking them after it.

- I got it.
- Get outta here.

Xena, Tara ran--

You found her.

Yeah, I helped Xena put the
pinch on one of those guys.

- What?
- You gotta admit,

I've got an instinct
for this hero stuff.

You did all right.

We gotta put some distance between
them and us and then make camp.

We got a lot of ground
to cover tomorrow.

Right.

She didn't listen to you.

You let her get away with that?

I'm trying to encourage her
to turn herlife around.

Isn't that what you'd do?

What?

Turning people away from
their dark side isn't my specialty.

Xena, I have learned a lot
in these last few years.

And one of the things I've learned
is that you can't save everyone.

Then you and she do have
something in common.

What's that?

You both think she's
a lost cause.

Okay.

I get what you're saying.

I'm being too hard on her.

Well, it's understandable.
She did try to bite off your ear.

Well, it's not hurting as much
now, so I can be civil to her.

Thanks.

Xena--

if you can say with a straight
face that you believe in her,

that'll go a long way
with a confused kid like that.

It did with me.

It's easier to believe
in yourself after

someone else has
believed in you first.

Thanks.

You put my staff in the fire?

Oh, was that important?

What?

You see, I-I sleep next to Xena.

Well, you can sleep
on the other side.

I don't like to sleep
that close to the fire.

Well, I don't know
what to tell you.

First come, first served.

- Is that right?
- Oh, yeah. That's right.

- Who was here--
- What's right?

Nothing.

Not a thing.

Not a thing!
It's nothing.

Everything's fine.

The world's just
a bowl of cherries.

Good night.

Yeah.

Can I ask you something?

As long as it doesn't
keep me awake too long.

This doing good thing--

How do you know what's
really good and what's not?

I mean, those boys from the gang--
they think they're good.

How do you really know?

It's not always that simple.

I usually go with my gut.

And when in doubt, I ask her.

No. She would know?

Not always.

But I know that her first instinct
is usually an unselfish one,

and that's a really
good place to start.

Do you think
she was born good?

I mean, my father always told me
that I was bad from day one.

That is not true.

You are what you do.

You can re-create yourself
every second of your life.

- But what if--
- You know what is bad?

- What?
- Keeping me awake when I'm tired.

Right.

- Good night, Xena.
- Good night.

It's just that I'm not
sure whether or not

I'll figure out this
being good thing.

You will.

I believe in you.

Really?

Really.

Good night.

That must be them.

Yeah. Wayan likes
setting up camp on hills.

And there are
the Silesian traders.

We're just in time.

Not really.

We'll be right in the middle of
relieving the gang of the urn

when the Silesians arrive.

That could make
things a little dicey.

What are we gonna do?

I'm gonna ride down and knock

the Silesians around
a little bit first.

That'll either turn 'em around
or slow 'em down long enough

for us to make our
move on the gang.

When you two see me
riding for the big hill,

you run for the crest-- fast.

Okay.

Keep going.

Let's just try to
get along, okay?

What?

She told you we had to
get along or else, right?

Forget it.

You know, you've got her
convinced you're the real thing.

- What does that mean?
- She thinks you're perfect.

She knows I'm not perfect.

She loves me anyway.
That's what friendship is about.

I wouldn't know. I haven't had
a lot of friends in my time.

I wonder why.

Look! There's no smoke.
I think they put the fire out.

They must be on the move.

No, they're waiting
for the Silesians.

They're not going anywhere.

You don't know with these guys.
They're an unpredictable bunch.

- Come on. Let's go.
- We're not going anywhere.

We wait for Xena to
ride towards the hill.

Look, do you wanna be
a sidekick all your life?

How's it gonna hurt us to
get into position earlier?

We're waiting here.

All right.

Tara! Stop!
Come back here! Tara!

Why can't you wait?
Xena told us to wait!

Tara!

You're gonna stay put
till Xena gets back.

All right.

What do you think
you're doing?

Is this worth a thousand
dinars or what?

Put it in here.

Careful!

Put it in the wagon.

- Did you see that?
- Yeah.

Now we know
where the urn is.

Okay. When Xena comes back,

we're gonna make for
that bag right away.

Th-- No!

What are you--

Uh, Xena?

This had better be good!

Wonder girl took matters
into her own hands again.

Everything would have been fine
if you just let go of my foot!

You would be dead if I
didn't grab your foot!

Oh, boy!

I'm gonna ride ahead and see
if I can't pick up their trail,

and then maybe
I'll come back for ya.

Xena? Can I talk to
you for a minute?

Yeah?
I'm gonna kill her.

I'm gonna rip out her throat.
I'm going to eat her eyeballs.

Gabrielle calm down.

Xena, she almost got us killed.
I can't work like this!

Okay, come here.

- Sit down.
- What're you--

You asked me how you know
what's good and what's bad.

Let me make it real
simple for ya.

Acting like a selfish
brat is bad.

So you better start
putting others first,

or I will leave you by the
roadside in a flash.

Well, congratulations.
You got what you wanted.

- What's that?
- She hates me now, thanks to you.

Thanks to me?

Tara, you're not only
obnoxious, you're deluded.

I don't know what that means,

but you better take
it back right now!

Don't push it.

Don't you--

What are you gonna do about it?

You think I'm scared because
you've got that stick, huh?

Okay.

Let's go, blondie!

Be smart for a change.
Stay down.

What are you doing?

I don't wanna hurt you anymore!

Don't do me any favors.

Stay down, Tara!

Go away! I was just--

I was just giving her
my best shot!

I'm bad!

I know I am! I'm really--
I'm really, really bad!

No, you're not.

My mom was good.
I know that.

She died when I was about four.

I remember when we had to bury her.
I stood by the grave and I said,

"Mom, you better get up now!
The men are throwing dirt on you!"

Pretty dumb, huh?

Not at all.

My father wasn't bad
from the beginning.

It's just that he missed
my mom so much...

he started to drink.

Pretty soon, he was
beating up on me,

telling me how worthless I was.

It went on forever.

So when I met the boys
from the gang, I--

You just wanted to belong.

I guess that was it.
Yeah.

Why are you guys being
so nice to me, anyways?

You guys are acting like
a bunch of suckers!

I've done some
really bad things!

You wanna compare
bad deeds, I'll bury ya.

- You are good.
- What are you talking about?

You left us alone together,
figuring that this would happen.

That's ridiculous.

What do you think I am,
a prophet or something?

No.

Just a good judge
of human nature.

You're giving me way
too much credit.

Thanks, Xena.

For what?

I had so much anger for
that poor, little kid,

I never gave her a chance,
and you helped me deal with that.

You did everything just right--

including a little bit of,
uh, tough love.

Zeus and the Cyclops?

No. It's not a legend.

Don't you remember
when I did this?

And this?

Yeah. Yeah, we do.

That's the mask
of comedy and drama.

So?

- So that means it's a play.
- Oedipus!

No, don't-- don't guess.
You have to use the clues.

Watch.

We don't know.

Come on.
Will you just tell us?

Iphigenia At Aulis.

How are we supposed
to know that?

Well, it's not my fault you don't
keep up with contemporary theater.

Okay, look, I've got one.
I'm ready.

This'll never catch on.
It's too hard.

Okay.

- The birth of Athena!
- That's it!

All right.

Let's get some sleep.

The gang are headed
toward the Manie River.

The Silesians will probably
meet up with them there.

Yeah, that makes sense.

There's an old abandoned castle there
that Wayan loves to hide out in.

Well, that's where
we're headed.

Hey, Gabrielle?

I really like that game
you made up.

Thanks, Tara.

Good night, Gabrielle.
Good night, Xena.

Good night, Tara.
Good night, Xena.

Good night.

Good night, Argo!

Those horses belong to
the Silesian traders.

They must be ready to
make the exchange.

I'm going over the wall.

Once I'm inside, I'll
open a door for you.

Gabrielle?
This urn--

Do you believe it has
some kind of power?

They say it gives people
a sense of peace.

Whether that power comes
from the mind or the urn,

I don't know.

But it could just be
an old piece of pottery

with really pretty
gems on it, right?

I guess so.

So--

if, for some reason,
we don't get it back,

it's not the end of the world?

Maybe.

But I know this:

For people who need to forgive

themselves in order
to move on in life,

this urn can be very meaningful.

Like somebody like you knows
anything about feeling guilty.

I know.

Believe me, I know.

Look! She opened the door.

They're bargaining,
but the urn's not there.

Let's go.

There are two guards.
I don't see the urn,

but those guys aren't
in there for nothing.

All right, let's
find this thing.

Nothing there.

- What's the matter?
- You may be right, Gabrielle.

Maybe you can't save everyone.

You are the best.

You should be
proud of yourself.

I love you, Tara.

I love you too, Micah.

Not many people play Xena,
Warrior Princess, for a sucker.

When word gets out,
she'll be a laughingstock.

Come on. Give it to me.

What are you doing?
Give me the urn.

Look, we've gotta
get out of here

before Wayan realizes
what's going on.

Micah, we don't need this urn.

Well, you're right there.

But we do need the money
we'll get from selling it.

You know, if you and I
head to Athens,

we could get some
action going there.

Fine, we'll go to Athens.
Now give me the urn.

No.

Tara! You're beginning
to make me very angry.

Look, I don't think
we should sell this urn.

Well, what should
we do with it?

Return it to the temple.

People believe in it.

And Xena believes in me.

You know,

I wasn't gonna kill you until
we were clear from the castle,

but now will do fine.

Hello, handsome.

Gabrielle!

Xena!

Tara!

Tara!

Hey, Micah!

Here's something to
remember me by!

I did it, didn't I?
I did good.

You sure did.

Go get Argo. We'll meet
you at the main gate.

What's the matter, Tara?

- You knew, didn't you?
- Yeah, I knew.

Then why did you--

A very wise friend
of mine once said

that no one can believe
in herself unless

someone else believes
in her first.

You two are such suckers.

You are forgiven
for past misdeeds.

Go now and do good.

You are forgiven
for past misdeeds.

Go now and do good.

You are forgiven
for past misdeeds.

Go now and do good.

You are forgiven
for past misdeeds.

Go now and do good.

What's Xena doing?

Doesn't she wanna be forgiven?
