(HORSE NEIGHING)

(PANTING)

Around the hill.

A warrior's destroying our men.

Ya!

Ya!

Ya!

(HORSE NEIGHING)

(GRUNTS)

(GRUNTS)

(YELLS)

XENA: Gabrielle, no!

(SCREAMS)

I'm so sorry.

Can you ever forgive me?

NARRATOR: In a
time of ancient gods,

warlords, and kings,

a land in turmoil
cried out for a hero.

(PEOPLE SHOUTING)

(BOTH GRUNTING)

She was Xena, a mighty princess

forged in the heat of battle.

The power,

the passion,

the danger.

(GRUNTING)

Her courage will
change the world.

Why were you fighting
these people, Dach?

We thought they might be on
their way to Zoras. You were wrong.

These two are on
a journey, a quest,

and they're our allies in
our fight against darkness.

My name is Najara.

I'm Gabrielle.

This is Xena.

You've suffered much, Gabrielle,

but you've retained
your good heart.

And you have chosen to
fight the darkness within you.

What courage that takes!

Please forgive us.

How do you know all that?

The Jinn told me.

The Jinn? Yes. They're
my guides through life.

Are they spirits?
They're the Jinn.

That's all I know.

I'd love to stay and talk more to you
but I know my men are anxious to move.

Bonacar. (HORSE NEIGHING)

I hope you find what
you're looking for.

Once again, please forgive us.

It was an honest mistake.

(CLICKS TONGUE)

What's she doing?

Would you like to
join us on our mission?

What's your mission?

To fight evil
wherever we find it.

Can you be a
little more specific?

(LAUGHS)

We're riding against Marat.

Marat of Crete? You know him?

I've heard of him.

He's a dangerous man.

Yes, he is.

My men thought you
were working with him.

That's why they attacked you.

What's he doing in Phoenicia?

Hunting for slaves
to bring back to Crete.

A raiding party of his
men are on their way

to harvest human beings
from the village of Zoras,

about a day's ride from here.

We're going to stop him.

We can do it without you but the
Jinn think that you should come.

And I would love that.

What do you think?

I suppose we could
travel with you a while.

Xena's a skilled healer. I'm
sure she could tend to your men.

Since it was all a
misunderstanding, sure.

(LAUGHING)

You're both very kind.

Are you looking for Marat's men?

No. I'm just
enjoying the scenery.

You do that, too?

Yes, all the time.

Najara,

how long have you
been hearing the Jinn?

Since I was a little girl.

At first they frightened me.

After a while I
began to trust them.

Now they're my best friends.

They're so wonderful, so
full of love and goodness.

Where do they come from?

The light.

They're sent to me so
that I can fight the darkness.

It's quite a responsibility.

(SIGHS) Well, I think we've
smelled the flowers enough.

Come on, let's get
back to the others.

(SINGING)

(SINGS OFF KEY)

(LAUGHING)

Well, it's a good thing our fight against
evil doesn't depend on our singing.

(LAUGHING)

We should all get some sleep.

My men are very grateful
for the care you gave them.

You both would be very
valuable in my hospice.

Where is your hospice?

Up here. It's only a dream now.

It would be a place
where anyone could come

to be healed,
poor and rich alike.

We would care for lepers,

those too old to
tend for themselves.

Men and women with diseases
of the mind as well as the body.

Its sole purpose would
be to relieve suffering.

Oh, there's so much good to
be done and so little time to do it.

About tomorrow...

Of course.

Marat's men should
be arriving by morning.

We need to move on the village
at dawn if we want to stop them.

How do you know about this raid?

One of Marat's personal slaves escaped,
came to me and informed me of his plans.

When?

You don't trust me.

Take my sword

and command of my army.

Don't let them do anything
you don't think is right.

You can keep your sword.

But I will take
command of your men.

Wonderful. I can't tell you
how much I'd love the challenge

of winning your confidence.

And you should listen to her.

Don't trust me too soon.

Xena's wiser in that way.

Sleep well.

Oh, we will.

You're a tough sell.

I'm not going into any
village with any army

unless I'm sure I'm
doing the right thing.

I understand.

I don't know what
to make of her.

GABRIELLE: So
that's the village?

XENA: It's too quiet.

I'm going in.

Don't move until we
get the signal from Xena.

(YELLING AND SCREAMING)

That's it. Bonacar!

Ya!

(ULULATING)

(YELLING)

(YELLING)

(LAUGHING)

(SCREAMS)

XENA: Gabrielle!

You fought with great courage.

That can be a virtue
but only when it's used

on the side of the
light against darkness.

The capture and selling
of people is wrong.

SOLDIER: Listen up! It
shames both its victims

and those who would
profit from this evil.

Slavery paves the
path to darkness.

We can offer you initiation
into the way of the light.

Let us help you.

Do you think it got
through to them?

(SIGHS) I hope so.

Turning people away from their dark
side is the most important thing I do.

Who knows.

Some of these men

one day might be great
soldiers of the light.

Forgive those people.

They're confused and misguided.

Don't let hatred
poison your hearts.

Now go to your homes
and live good lives.

Thank you.

Oh, thank you.

WOMAN: Bless you. Thank you.

I love you, Xena.

It's a great curse to have
seen one's own death.

The Jinn told you?

Yes.

But not everything.

Your vision of death,

does it... Yes.

It includes Gabrielle.

Does she know?

No.

That's fortunate for her.

Do you think it
could be avoided?

Of course.

I believe our destiny
is in our heart.

But it will take
drastic measures

to change an event you've
foreseen in your soul's eye.

GABRIELLE: Xena.

There you are.

Listen, I don't know
what your plans are,

but Marat controls a village
about a day's ride from here.

He uses it as a center
for his slave trade.

That's where I'm headed.

Would you like to join me?

Yes.

Sure.

Wonderful.

XENA: Gabrielle,

you've been awfully
quiet. You all right?

Yeah, I was just thinking
about yesterday. Amazing.

Yeah. Amazing.

(SWAN TRUMPETING)

Swans.

It looks like they're
headed for Kuta Lake.

Let's go see them up close.

We'll catch up with
you at Revo Falls.

Will you join us?

No, thanks. I'm not
one for bird watching.

(CLICKS TONGUE)

I guess I was wrong.

Well, maybe they're circling.

Do swans circle?

(LAUGHS) I don't know.

Why don't you ask the Jinn?

They're not with me right now.

And I don't think they
know much about swans.

Can I ask you something?

Personal.

Of course.

You seem so happy.

It's like, what you're doing
has so much meaning for you.

Am I right?

I don't think about it much but now
that you mention it, yes, I'm very happy.

You're not?

I just...

I don't know if I'm on
the right path in my life.

You fight for good.
What other path is there?

You mentioned opening a hospice.

That would be a good way, too.

Why don't you do that?

I don't mind if you
start without me.

(SIGHS) You see, if I do that,

then Xena and I have
to go our separate ways.

She's not the hospice type.

(SIGHS) Yes, I see.

She's on a different path. Well,

perhaps you need to commit
totally to your life with Xena.

You two do a lot of good.

We do.

Najara,

does the violence
ever bother you?

I assume that
you've killed before.

(SIGHS)

Yes, as little as possible
but sometimes it's inevitable.

I don't think I could
get used to that.

Gabrielle, you need to make
a full commitment to the light.

It will give you faith that
what you're doing is right.

The light.

I need something.

(SWAN TRUMPETING)

Swans.

Let's get a closer look.

Marat's main
slave center is here.

We'll hit it in the morning from the
east, so the sun will be at our backs.

The most important
thing is to make sure the

people being held as
slaves are not harmed.

Remember, there are
children among them.

NAJARA: Let us move
swiftly. (HORSE NEIGHING)

So where is Marat?

He rarely comes
into the slave center.

He has a stronghold in the
foothills east of the village.

Then that's where I'm headed.

I thought we'd all go after him
once we've taken the village.

He could swoop down while you're
in the middle of freeing the slaves.

It could get messy.

But going after Marat alone.

I'll take my chances.

Look, I've learned you should listen to
Xena when it comes to this sort of thing.

All right.

Xena will go after Marat
while we take the village.

SOLDIER: What's
your plan of attack?

When do we head out?

I'm heading out before
dawn. You stay with Najara.

Are you sure?

Sure.

They need you there to make
sure those children are safe.

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

Xena.

The Jinn?

No.

I recognized your footsteps.

The Jinn haven't
visited me all day.

Sometimes they disappear
for weeks at a time.

I'm never angry,
though. I understand.

They're very busy.

There's so much
darkness in the world.

Najara, your hospice.

Why don't you start it in the village
you're going to take tomorrow?

Ah.

Now I understand.

You don't plan to return after
your mission against Marat.

You want a place
to leave Gabrielle.

She'll die if she stays with me.

You said it would take something drastic
to change our destiny. Maybe this is it.

As soon as she realizes you've
left her, you know she'll follow you.

I see such joy in her eyes when
she talks to you about your mission.

She's been looking for meaning.

I think you can give it to her.

It hasn't always been
good for her being with me.

I seem to hurt her.

I know she forgives you.

I promise I'll do everything
I can to justify your trust.

You'd better.

Thanks.

Goodbye, Gabrielle.

MAN: There you are, my friend.

You're welcome.

This must have been a
very difficult time for you all.

Don't carry it with you.

Live life to its fullest.

Seize every day as an
opportunity to do good.

And remember, you're
always free to turn to the light

that drives away all darkness.

We'll make sure you have some
food for your journey back home.

And some of my men will
escort you at least part of the way.

As you travel, I want
you to tell all you meet

who are sick and
suffering that I am here.

That I am opening a
hospice here to care for them.

Goodbye.

And may the light
illuminate your way.

Thank you.

WOMAN: For you. Oh, thank you.

You're slave traders.

What shall I do with you?

I'll tell you what I want to do.

I want to forgive you

and love you all as brothers.

But I can't do that unless
you turn to the light.

And there's no
reason why you can't.

We'll be glad to
initiate you into the way.

Just let the light in and
the darkness will be gone.

Are you really going
to open a hospice?

Yes. Right here, now?

Of course.

I want to be initiated
into the way of the light.

Oh.

(CHAINS CLANKING)

Good morning, Marat.

Do it and get it over with.

Do what?

What you do to all
the people you defeat.

Cut their throats if they
don't turn to "the light."

What did you say?

I've heard all
about you, Najara.

How you give your captives
three days to turn good

before you execute them.

If you think I'm
gonna pay lip service

to your mumbo jumbo
just so you can kill me

anyway when you decide
I'm not being sincere,

you're dead wrong.

Where did you hear all this?

I talked to a couple of men who
escaped the massacre at Tyre

when you sent 20
men to your "light."

Come on, Najara, kill me
now and get it over with.

Do it, you filthy... Ugh.

Flowers cannot blossom
without the light of the sun.

Nor can the human
soul flourish without

the warming glow
of the eternal spirit.

Gabrielle,

walk into the light

and look no more
on the darkness.

SOLDIER: All right.

Yes.

(SINGING)

Xena.

I'm glad you came.

Najara! I didn't
expect to see you.

There's been a change of plans.

Why is that? I captured Marat.

Congratulations.

He told me some
interesting things about you.

He said that you offer prisoners
three days to turn to the light

and then you kill them.

Xena, he's a slave trader.

You don't believe him, do you?

Come on, Najara.

How about it?

Do you execute unarmed
men without a trial?

Definitely not.

You see, Xena? I
liberate their souls.

What does that mean?

Gabrielle, we're talking about thieves,
slave traders, murderers and pirates,

not decent people.

So you execute them

without a trial, a hearing?

What hearing or
trial did these men

here give the people they
were going to enslave?

In order for good to triumph
we must eradicate evil.

I always give evildoers a chance

to turn to the light.

But if they refuse or I sense
their conversion isn't sincere,

I send them to
look onto the light.

Najara.

Come on, Gabrielle.

No!

Gabrielle has
turned to the light.

She's my responsibility now.

As you said
yourself, you hurt her.

That's not going
to happen again.

Najara, don't do this.

Get out of the way, Gabrielle.

This is between Xena
and me. Stay out of it.

The light will triumph, Xena.

Quit preaching and fight.

All right.

(YELLING)

(ULULATING)

(SCREAMING)

(SCREAMING)

(ULULATING)

(GROWLS)

(ULULATING)

(YELLING)

(SCREAMING)

(GRUNTS)

Xena.

In the name of the light,

I smite the darkness.

What...

(YELLING) No.

You'll have to kill us both.

You don't understand, Gabrielle.

That darkness inside her
will destroy you one day.

Put the sword down.

Najara,

you and I will walk
out of here together.

You're just saying
that to protect her.

Xena's dark side frightens me.

I need to move on, but I could
never live with someone who killed her.

There would be no
going back from that.

All right.

All right.

Get the slave traders
and let's move out.

Some water.

(SIGHS)

I hate that.

I got my butt whipped, didn't I?

Uh-huh.

Well it serves me right
for trusting someone

who talks about
being good all the time.

You know what,

she's a tough girl,

but she's got a weakness.

It's the same one I've got.

(FOOTSTEPS)

What are you thinking about?

You're so close to being this
ultimate force for goodness.

But that little bit
makes you so wrong.

What should I do with those
slave traders, Gabrielle?

What would Xena do?

She would make sure
they were out of business.

She would turn them over
to the local government.

But what if the local
government supports slavery?

Probably not a problem because Xena
kills most of them in combat anyway.

Xena only kills if it's
absolutely necessary.

And I only kill evil people.

Why is she better than me?

Don't you think those
people deserve a fair trial?

But some fools may
find them innocent.

But with your way,
innocent people could die.

You're right, Gabrielle.

I'm sure I've made
mistakes before but

all I've done is send
them to the light.

The eternal powers will
correct any mistakes I've made.

(MAN YELLING)

Gabrielle.

Xena.

Are you all right?

I lost one of those good chewing
teeth but other than that I'm fine.

Xena, we should get out of here.

No.

She's too dangerous a
girl to leave on the loose.

She likes killing too much.

But she beat you up so badly.

Well, that's another reason.

Xena.

Ooh, that's gotta hurt.

Najara!

So glad you could make it.

Be careful, Najara.
She's snapped.

(GRUNTING)

Do you expect me to believe
you're going to let her die?

Well, let's just see, shall we?

I just asked her to come with me
right now, and you know what she said?

She said she'd rather stay
here and try to reform you.

Seems that your zealotry is
less scary than my dark side.

Sniveling ingrate.

But, if I can't have her,

nobody's gonna have her.

It's part of that drastic
change you talked about,

and it's sure gonna
change my destiny.

I knew you were no good for her.

You see, it's a little more
difficult with a millstone

like her around
your neck, isn't it?

You probably wouldn't care
if one of your soldiers died.

They'd just go up to that
big old light in the sky.

But you might
miss Gabrielle, huh?

(YELLING)

Najara, hurry.

If you don't mind my saying,
your focus is a little off.

(WHIMPERS)

Xena!

Don't kill her.

Looks like she saved
both our lives today.

(GROANS)

Uh, Xena.

Can you get me off this thing?

You take her from here.

The slave traders are
going to get a fair trial.

They'll probably
bribe their way out of it.

The soldiers say that you
wiped out a village last year,

and many innocent people died.

They lie.

Could be a bit of a problem.

Those men were pirates.

They sunk many
passenger ships for sport.

They had to die.

But you believe what
you want, Gabrielle.

Be happy.

Well, these people
aren't your biggest fans.

Can't please everybody.

Did you tell her
about the vision?

No.

That would hurt her,

and I don't ever
want to do that.

That's your job.

(HORSE NEIGHING)

I forgive you, Gabrielle.
