[ Woman ]
Speak.

[ Sighs ]
Cleopatra,

Rome is on the brink
of an all-out civil war.

And why should that
interrupt my bath?

You command
the greatest navy
in the world--

a strategic prize, if your name
happens to be Brutus or Antony.

Whichever one of them
gets control of your navy...

will rule the empire.

Well, it sounds like they'll
both be courting me then.
Doesn't it?

Or trying to eliminate you.

There are those that say,
with you out of the way,

the Egyptian navy
will go to the highest bidder.

You worry too much.

I have always known how
to protect Egypt, my people...

and myself.

I will keep
the Romans at bay.

See that my chief admiral
receives those orders.

Hmm.

Is it just me, Shiana,
or do crises only happen
when I'm naked?

[ Footsteps Approaching ]

[ Whispers, Indistinct ]

Cleopatra,
an urgent message from Rome.

Hmm.

[ Snaps Fingers ]

[ Hissing ]

Oh, the queen!

- [ Woman ]
Help her!
- [ Exhales ]

Shiana--

[ Breathing Heavily ]
My queen.

[ Moans ]

Shiana,

take this to Xena.

I will,
my queen.
[ Gasps ]

dddd [ Man Singing
In Foreign Language ]

[ Hissing ]

[ Gabrielle ]
Are we really going to do this?

Yes. We're really
going to do this.

I feel that I owe it
to Cleopatra.

I wish Eve
could see this.

No. She's better off
in Alexandria
with my mother.

Do you
have a plan?

First we become Egypt,
and then we take on Rome.

There's a rumor
that Brutus is in Egypt.

I hope it's true, Canidius.
It'll save me the trouble
of having to find him.

If he gets control
of Cleopatra's fleet,
we may not want to find him.

There is no reason to believe
that he is any closer to that
than we are.

[ Door Opens ]

Sir! Queen Cleopatra
bids you welcome
and has sent you a gift.

Queen Cleopatra
has sent me a gift.
Bring it in.

Sir! Yes, sir!
Bring it in.

It's a carpet, sir.

Dismissed.

"Will Rome enter Egypt?"

I am Cleopatra,

Queen of Egypt,
slave of Rome.

[ Man Narrating ]
In a time of ancient gods--
[ Xena Yells ]

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.
- [ Kiaiing ]

Her courage
will change the world.

[ Chain Links Clinking ]

- Cat got your tongue?
- [ Chuckles ]

Queen Cleopatra.

Your reputation
for not wasting time--

'tis well deserved.

[ Links Clinking ]

Egypt is yours,
Antony.

Won't you free me?

Is that what you want?

Surely this is about
you capturingme.

If that was my plan,
I would have dressed
for the occasion.

- [ Gasps ]
- [ Links Clattering ]

[ Clattering Continues ]

[ Lock Snaps ]
[ Chains Hit Ground ]

[ Chuckles ]

Now I am free.
And you?

Let's just say your conquest
is not yet complete.

Well, of course not.

And who could expect
the great Antony
to surrender easily?

I simply thought that you might
be the type to enjoy surprises.

Your guessing
serves you well, Queen.

But I came here to form
an alliance with you--

one based on trust...
and openness.

I think we got
the openness covered.

And as for trust,

well, I really couldn't
have come here in a more
vulnerable state, now, could I?

[ Chuckles ]

So, perhaps you should trustme.

Come to my palace.

I think I can find
a bed for you.

[ Man ]
I must speak
with Cleopatra at once.

Brutus,
is she expecting you?

No. She's not,
but I fear for her safety.

What does Cleopatra have
to be afraid of, Brutus?

Gabrielle.

I'm alive.
I'll handle this.

You survived
the crucifixion.

You should have been there.

What are you doing here?

I'm paying a visit
to an old friend.

Where's Xena?
She's with Cleopatra.

Well, then
I'll see them both.
It's not a good time, Brutus.

I'll relay your concerns
about her safety.

I'd just as soon
do that in person.

Come on, then.
I won't bite.

Ah, why don't you wait there
while I slip into something
less comfortable?

Brutus is here
to see Cleopatra.
Ah. Great idea, Shiana.

I'm sure Rome would love
a tour of Egypt's palace.

Gabrielle, this is ridiculous.
I have information that could
save Cleopatra's life.

I insist on seeing her.
You're in no position
to make demands.

Ave, Brutus.
You know you're in
a queen's bedchamber.

I have come to warn Cleopatra,
there are people
plotting against her.

Under no circumstances
should she trust either
Antony or Octavius.

They both want her dead.
Octavius?
Caesar's adopted son?

He claims to be the rightful
heir to Rome. He's just
a murdering opportunist.

Well, I'll be sure and tell her.
I know she'll appreciate
your concern.

I would like
to see her myself.

She's busy.

I'm glad you
and Gabrielle are well.

[ Grunts ]

- What should I do with Antony?
- The bath.

If Brutus is right, Xena,
Antony may try to kill you.

I think he has some business
to conclude with me first.

[ Footsteps ]

Welcome, Antony.

Ah, this is my companion, Iris.

If I were your hands, Iris,
I would be fortunate indeed.

- Leave us.
-No.

I have matters to attend to.

Besides, I have supped full
of pleasures this night.

Perhaps by morning we can put
this issue of trust behind us
and move on.

God, Xena.
[ Chuckling ]

I thought he was going
to accept your invitation.

How did you know
he wouldn't?

I didn't.

[ Yelling ]

Are you Cleopatra?
Are you my assassin?

No. I was coming to see you.

We have a front door for that.
But-- but this was
the only way. Believe me.

Go!
[ Grunting ]

[ Screaming ]

[ Continues Screaming ]
Help me!

[ Grunts, Coughing ]
Get up. Get up!

[ Antony ] Cleopatra!
[ Man ]
Fire in the queen's bedchamber!

Ah! Where do you think
you're going?
Away from him.

[ Man ] Get water, quick!
He wants me dead.
Those assassins were after me.

Oh, well aren't you
the center of attention.

Isn't it more likely
they were after me?
It was my bedroom they torched.

That's why we must ally.
They want us both dead.

And who are you?
Octavius.

Queen Cleopatra,
may I introduce
the grandnephew...

and adopted son
of Julius Caesar?

- And a traitor.
- I'm a traitor?

What would Caesar think
of his closest friend
denying me his throne?

Uncle Julius
was too busy to realize
just how ill-equipped you are.

It's not that
I love Caesar less.
I love Rome more.

- [ Gasps ]
- [ Quietly ]
Antony.

Cleopatra, please.
He'll kill me!

Silence. Take him away.

I'll deal with him later.

[ Man ]
Come on, traitor!

How do I know that
you weren't somehow
involved in this?

I came here...
to put out the fire.

We have
unfinished business,
you and I.

[ Sighs ]
Yes?

I'm losing sight of your plan,
Xena. Are you going to
flirt him to death?

I'm getting him
to trust me, so I can do
what I want with him.

Be careful.
He's your type.
You think?

What's this
"unfinished business"?

He's going to try to seduce me
into letting him use
Cleopatra's navy.

And then?

And then I'll have him
on his knees-- figuratively
speaking, of course.

Of course.

[ Exhales,
Clears Throat ]

Queen Cleopatra,

don't forget your meeting
with your advisors.

Ah, my advisors.

Yes. They're
such busybodies.

Rome wasn't
built in a day.

[ Imitates Purr ]
[ Sighs ]

What do you think
you were doing?
I was in complete control.

How far were you going
to let that go, Xena?
Until he begged for my navel.

- Your "navy"?
- I know what I'm doing.

Xena, what happens
if he's the one
who killed Cleopatra?

Then he's the one
I'll kill if I have to.

I have no real feelings for him,
Gabrielle. Believe me.

This is
from Antony.

Really?

He invites you to
meet him tomorrow night
under the pyramids.

Tell him I'll be there.

Got him right where I want him.

Our time in this world is brief.

Kingdoms--
they're mere clay.

Will Rome
surpass their majesty?

[ Quietly ]
I don't know.

In a place like this,
a man is truly small.

Why did you come to Egypt?

My navy.

Yes.

But that has changed.

Changed how?

I don't want you
to give me your navy.

You would always suspect that
that is all I wanted from you.

So, whatdoyou want
from me?

Your love.

My love won't help you
in a fight against Brutus.

The first time
I saw you,

I knew a man would
give up a kingdom
for such a woman.

There is nothing
that I have learned since
that would change my mind.

Nothing?

Nothing.

[ Footsteps Approaching ]

Antony!

[ Body Hits Ground ]

One of Brutus's?

No. Wait, Antony.
He could be useful to us.
[ Man Groaning ]

Tell Brutus he missed. Tell him
Antony and Cleopatra...

are alive, well and together.

[ Grunts ]

[ Footsteps Running ]

[ Footsteps Approaching ]

Do you think I tried
to kill Cleopatra?

I don't know.

Tears are for boys.

I know some men
who could use a good cry.

I need to put them behind me
and think of my people.

The people of Rome?

And all who are
under its protection.

My uncle exploited
the peoples of the world
for his ambition.

I want to correct that,

to bring them Roman peace--

Pax Romana.

Do you think
I'm foolish?

No. I don't.

[ Wolf Howling, Distant ]

Xena?

You were right,
Gabrielle.

I do have
a soft spot
for bad boys.

Even worse is a bad boy
who loves like a fool.

What happened?

He wouldn't take
Cleopatra's navy.

He says he wants
my love instead.

I think he means it.

Maybe you can enlist him
as an ally.

Well, what will happen
when he finds out that
I'm not Cleopatra--

that I've duped him
all this time?

What are you
going to do?

I can't let him
get control
of the empire.

There's plenty of blood
on those hands of his.

He's not afraid to shed it.
I know that.

And what about Octavius?

He's idealistic. His heart's
in the right place, Xena.

I wonder if he and Antony
can work together?

- Making travel plans?
- [ Chuckles ]

[ Sheathes Sword ]
I'm trying
to outguess Brutus.

And if you defeat him,
what will you do?

I will execute him
and all his men.

All of them?
Even the common soldier?

There must be consequences
for opposing Mark Antony:

death, executions.

It is the Roman way,

and I am Roman.

Yes. I see.

And what about Octavius?

I hear he's a good man.

He may be a good boy,

but I cannot let him live
to be a good man.

Antony,

take my navy.

[ No Audible Dialogue ]
No. I insist.

This gesture of yours
is very sweet, but
I get the point.

I know that
you love me.

I've had reports that
Brutus's fleet is approaching
the mouth of the Nile.

Draw him
into battle there.

At the appropriate time
I will reinforce you.

Brutus
will be crushed.

Rome...
is eternally grateful.

[ Brutus ]
Queen Cleopatra.

Approach, Roman.

- Boo.
- Xena.

That's right.
I've been playing the part
of Cleopatra...

because you killed her.

You have to understand.

I needed that navy.

And I knew I could never compete
with Antony for the affections
of a beautiful woman.

Now I thought if she were gone,
I had a chance to negotiate
with her admirals.

That's your
justification
for murder?

When I killed Caesar,
I crossed the Rubicon of blood.

Why have you called me here?

It seems we have
a common enemy-- Mark Antony.

You see what
a dangerous man he is.

Oh, yes. I do.
His fleet is moving
toward the mouth of the Nile.

You meet him there,
and I'll reinforce.

- Together we'll chop him
into little pieces.
- Why should I trust you?

- I'll go with you.
- I can't ask for
a better guarantee than that.

You won't regret this.

I won't regret this.

The trap's been set.

Perhaps you
won't have to--

Kill Antony?

Perhaps, when we have dealt
with Brutus, a journey on the
scented waters of the Nile--

[ Man, Distant ]
Steady as she goes.

[ Shouts Orders,
Indistinct ]

on a golden barge
with oars of silver...

which we'll keep stroked
to the tune of flutes...

and make the waters
which they beat
to follow faster...

as though amorous
of each stroke.

[ Breathing Heavily ]
Antony, we're about to go
into a major sea battle.

[ Chuckles ]
With Egypt's navy,
we cannot lose.

[ Man Shouting Orders, Distant ]
Once we engage Antony,
you'll give Xena the signal?

Yes.

Then we'll see
who will become Rome.

[ Chuckles ]
You've become
an ambitious man, Brutus.

People change,
Gabrielle.

[ Man ]
Higher! Higher!

I remember when you
spoke only of peace,
and now you're a warrior.

And you're a murderer.

I killed Cleopatra
for the good of Rome.

How many people have to die
for the good of Rome?

[ Shouted Orders
Continue, Distant ]

Nervous?

Terrified.
How about you?

Definitely nervous.

Why are you here,
Shiana?

I promised my mistress
I'd see her murderers
brought to justice.

I can't believe
Cleopatra's gone.

Death has no respect
for rank.

You're about to step
onto the stage
of history, Octavius.

Are you ready?

Yes.
I feel I was born
for this moment.

I realize now
it's my destiny
to rule Rome.

Never has a battle
been so one-sided.

Ship ahoy!

It's Brutus's flagship.

We're gonna be rammed.
[ Men Chattering ]

- Make the signal!
- There!

Time to launch the Egyptian
fleet on both Antony and Brutus.
Prepare for battle!

- [ Man ] Come on. Give me one!
- Here. Take them!
Pass it along!

[ Men Shouting, Screaming ]

[ Man ]
For the glory of Brutus!

[ Man #2 ]
For Imperial Rome!

[ Man #3 ]
Free Rome from tyranny!

[ Stabs ]
[ Man ]
Long live Antony!

The Egyptians are
attacking our fleet!
What?

[ Projectiles Whistling ]

You knew.

[ Yells ]

[ Grunts ]

- [ Yells ]
- [ Yells ]

[ Exhales ]

[ Grunts ]

[ Yelling ]
Xena-a-a!

[ Brutus Yelling Continues ]

[ Gurgles, Stops ]
Cleopatra's navy is attacking
both Roman fleets from the rear.

Both Roman fleets?

[ Sword Strikes ]

Xena.

You win my trust--

my love--

and then you betray everything.

[ Breathing Heavily ]
Antony.

[ Yelling ]

[ Both Yelling ]

[ Stabs ]

[ Gasps ]

I did... love you.

[ Groaning, Straining ]

[ Octavius ]
Xena, Rome owes you
a debt of gratitude.

Rome owes me nothing.

Octavius, you'll soon be
the new leader.

It is you who must recognize
and support this new alliance
forged between Egypt and Rome.

It cost Cleopatra her life.

Make sure it was worth it.

Cleopatra always put
the well-being of her
kingdom ahead of her own.

Respect this.

She died in the hope
that the Egyptian people
might for the first time...

choose their next great leader.

She was Egypt.
