Xena: Warrior Princess (1995–2001): Season 2, Episode 12 - Destiny - full transcript
Xena is seriously hurt in Cirra's ruins by a huge log and she enters into a coma. While Gabrielle carries her to a doctor in order to try to save her life, she remembers how ten winters ago she met Julius Caesar and became the Destroyer of Nations.
So this is Cirra.
It's beautiful.
To me it's the ugliest place
on Earth.
I don't think you should keep
punishing yourself for what happened.
I didn't come here
to punish myself.
I wanna understand why.
Why what?
Why it happened.
Why I was who I was.
And how I can ever atone.
You've changed, Xena.
Like this valley.
Once it was a place
full of death and violence.
But now it's full
of beauty and life.
The same kind of change
has happened to you.
I wish that I could see it
that way.
I'm going down there.
I'll wait here.
Why?
Yah!
Yah!
Gabrielle?!
Gabrielle?!
Lord of the Moon...,
Mistress of the Stars...,
we..., the children of the sun,
ask you for an omen.
Send us a sign.
Huh?
Hail, Goddess!
We are your servants.
Tell us our future.
I got nothing
but bad news for you.
Gabrielle, catch!
Run!
Come on, run!
Gabrielle?
Wait, wait, stop!
I think I hear Xena.
Hey.
Glad to see ya.
- Now get outta here.
- Quick! Run!
Come on! Don't stop!
Let's go!
Get her!
Get out of the way!
In the 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.
XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS
Xena?
Open your eyes.
Wake up!
- Wake up...
- Gabrielle..., the girl.
What girl?
One of the captives?
Only she can save me.
They're gone.
Xena? Oh.
Mount Nestus.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Mount Nestus?
- Take me there.
- I c...
I can't take you there.
I-I don't know what...
It's too far away. I...
Uh... Xena, I don't know if...
if I... I...
Please.
Okay.
Amphipolis...
TEN WINTERS AGO
Come on! Get moving!
Have mercy, please!
Have mercy!
Please!
Come on!
Get on over to Xena!
People of Neopolitis...,
friends...,
you're free to go.
But spread the word:
My army will punish
any village
that allies itself
with the enemies of Amphipolis.
And I will do anything
to ensure the safety
of my homeland.
Those who don't heed
my warning...
will pay a terrible price.
Get going!
You hungry?
Ah, what's the matter?
You not hungry?
I generally don't eat food
touched by a pig.
And you have a woman's touch.
So..., you not afraid
of a beating, huh?
You afraid to die?
A brave man
dies only once.
A man like you...
dies a thousand times.
All right, brave man.
You're one time is now!
Tellus...,
look at him.
The robes.
The bearing, the poise...
Why, we have
a Roman nobleman.
A valuable commodity.
What are you talking about?
Ransom.
She's talking about ransom,
pig.
That's right, we can get
20.000 dinars for him.
20.000 isn't enough.
Oh, really?
They'll never believe you have me
if that's all you're asking.
I'm worth
five times that.
Very well.
But if you're wrong,
it's your neck.
Vyserius.
Send out a ransom demand
to the nearest Roman settlement.
Tell them to send 100.000 dinars
if they ever want to see...
What's your name?
Caesar, Julius Caesar.
Caesar, Julius Caesar, again.
Hmm.
You really weren't afraid
to die, were you?
I knew someone
would stop him.
And how could you know that?
I know what I'm fated to do
with my life.
And what's that?
Rule the world.
Let's go, Roman.
Xena?
Can you hear me?
Xena.
Xena, can you hear me?
Mount Nestus.
Is it north of the Strymon River?
North... Strymon.
I think that's a "yes".
Do you hear me?
Don't make a move.
What is it?
We have a stowaway.
Get him!
Come down!
Get him!
Cease him!
A woman.
What did you do to my leg?
Fix it.
My leg, fix it!
Bring over Tellus.
She can fix
whatever she did to him.
What's she saying?
She said
it's too late for him.
She's killed him!
Wait.
You speak her language.
Tell her
I'll spare her life
if she'll teach me
how she did that.
Take her down below.
Come on.
Let's go!
- Get there!
- Be careful.
Runaway slaves
are very dangerous people.
How do you know
she's a runaway?
She speaks gaelic.
But she's clearly
from the land of the Pharaoh.
Probably abducted as a child
by raiders from Western Gaul.
Western Gaul, huh?
Why do you say that?
Gaul is divided
into three parts.
Each area speaks
its own different dialect.
One day I'll conquer
all three provinces.
How can you be
so sure of yourself?
- I told you, I'm...
- Oh, that's right,
you're fated
to rule the world.
Do you really believe that?
Of course.
Each event in our life
is part of a great plan.
There are no accidents...,
only destiny.
And who shapes this destiny?
The gods?
Perhaps.
Or it's the blood in our veins,
our...
souls, our desires...,
our will.
They're all in it..., together,
weaving a tapestry
we call...
destiny.
Well, I can tell you one thing
about your destiny.
You're fated to have dinner
in my cabin tonight.
Grab his legs!
Show me that thing
you do.
No.
No, not on my leg.
Show me on my neck.
Yeah.
Come on.
That was too fast.
Now take it off
and do it again slower.
Take it off.
Come on!
You got some sense of humor.
Now teach me
how you did that.
No, not on me.
Teach me on yourself.
Here?
There. Huh.
You see?
I can play too.
Come on.
Where did you steal that dress?
Stageira.
Maybe someday you can
go back for the rest of it.
Are you complaining?
No.
Not at all, it's lovely.
Why Stugeira?
It's the ancient enemy
of my home village, Amphipolis.
Amphipolis?
So all your raiding and looting
is about protecting your homeland.
That's right.
It was once brutally attacked
by a warlord.
But I've made sure
that'll never happen again.
And what about you?
What about me?
What drives you?
The desire to be great.
You mean powerful.
No.
Greatness isn't just about
possessing power.
If it was, any thug with an army
would be entitled to that label.
Greatness...
is about achieving
what seems impossible...
to other men.
Why don't you and I
work together?
What do you mean?
This life I'm living
is beginning to bore me.
I'd love to join forces
with you.
So...
you wanna help me
conquer the world.
Why not?
We'd make
an unstoppable team.
Indeed.
I bet you know a lot...
about conquest.
Yes.
I love it.
Pursuing the enemy...,
breaking down
his defenses...,
cutting off his only path
of retreat...,
and then closing
for the kill.
Some enemies are...
harder... that others.
Oh, I count on it.
What's the matter?
Not all there?
No.
I was just wondering
if we'll ever see one another
again.
A moment won't pass...
when I'm not thinking
about you.
Now go.
I'll find you, I promise.

Bring her around!
We're going to join them!
It's all right.
He's my friend.
Hurry up!
Now!
What do you think
you're doing?!
This... is my destiny.
You're a part of it.
And I'm a part of yours.
- The ship is secured, Caesar.
- Good.
Where's that friend of yours?
The Gaelic slave girl?
I had to kill her.
Because she betrayed me!
Really?
Well, I don't blame you.
Still, she would have fetched
a good price
with the gladiator dealers.
Is that what you have planned
for me?
We were going to conquer
the world together,
what happened
to those plans for us?
Us?
There was never any "us",
Xena.
Only Rome.
And I am Rome.
Still...,
don't think that what we had
was meaningless.
I'll always remember it.
And you'll have a special place
of honor...
among my conquered.
She was an easier prey
than I expected.
Divide and conquer,
my friend.
You divide a woman's emotion
from her sensibilities...
and you have her.
I could've sold you
and all your friends
into slavery, Xena.
But that's what any
common warlord would do.
But with this...,
and especially with you...,
I defy myself...
to all those who would dare
oppose me...,
all those who would dare
prey on Rome.
Goodbye, Xena.
Break her legs.
S...leep.
You're getting worse.
Who goes there?!
I asked you a question!
The Senate will never approve
the funds for a Northern invasion.
You move too fast, Caesar.
Time is on your side;
take advantage of it.
I shall.
And my time is now.
The plunder I have taken
from these pirates makes it so.
I can finance my invasion
without the approval of the Senate.
And with victory, the army
will pledge allegiance...
and Rome will be mine.
No, Brutus.
From this moment on,
I am no longer subordinate
to old men in white robes.
I'm their rival.
What is this?
Caesar..., the barbarian woman,
the one name Xena...,
escaped.
Your life is forfeit.
That you already know.
But you can redeem yourself.
Take my centurion guard
and find her.
I want her lifeless body
brought back to me
by the end of the night.
Go.
What is this?
Nicklio!
- Are you a healer?
- You could say that.
I'm the healer.
Please.
Please, help me.
Please help me.
My friend..., she needs help.
Xena?
What happened to her?
Her organs are swelling
from internal bleeding.
Nicklio.
Don't, please...,
let me go.
I've just reset your bones.
You're lucky M'Lila
brought you here.
Yeah, lucky.
M'Lila, huh?
Ask her
why she saved me.
She says
it's not your time to die.
Well, if not now,
then when?
Let me see your wound.
Will you help my friend?
Xena can wait.
You, I can do
something about.
What do you mean?
You have amazing
recuperative powers.
How're you feeling?
Fine.
Much stronger.
Those needles are fascinating.
Hmm.
M'Lila.
Up on that cross...
I wasn't sure
that I wanted to live.
N' you, you had no reason
to save me, but you did.
Thank you.
I know you can't understand.
She wants to know
if you feel anger...
towards Caesar.
- There she is!
- Get her!
Something's happening.
Her pulse is failing.
You'll be dead
in thirty seconds.
But know this,
you won't be the last.
- She's gone.
- She can't be gone.
Tell Hades to prepare himself.
A new Xena is born tonight.
With a new purpose in life.
No.
Death.
No!
Let her pass over.
Please...
Please, wake up.
Wake up!
Wake up!
Oh. Please, wake up.
Do something!
Do something!
M'Lila.
Hello, Xena.
You should have left me to die
back there on that beach.
You have a destiny, Xena.
But you have to choose it.
I did choose it!
I chose evil.
Now that you know evil...,
were evil...,
you can fight evil.
When the living
think of the dead...,
the dead can hear
their thoughts.
Listen.
Xena...,
I know you can hear me...
wherever you are.
I know you always told me
to be strong.
I can't be. Not now.
You can't leave me.
I know it's not your time.
I can feel it in my heart.
I should feel this emptiness
that I've never known before,
and it scares me.
Xena, above all,
just remember your destiny.
Remember it and fight.
Just fight to come back.
This world needs you.
I need you.
I have to go back.
TO BE CONTINUED...

It's beautiful.
To me it's the ugliest place
on Earth.
I don't think you should keep
punishing yourself for what happened.
I didn't come here
to punish myself.
I wanna understand why.
Why what?
Why it happened.
Why I was who I was.
And how I can ever atone.
You've changed, Xena.
Like this valley.
Once it was a place
full of death and violence.
But now it's full
of beauty and life.
The same kind of change
has happened to you.
I wish that I could see it

Why?
Yah!

Gabrielle?!
Lord of the Moon...,

we..., the children of the sun,
ask you for an omen.
Send us a sign.
Huh?
Hail, Goddess!
We are your servants.
Tell us our future.
I got nothing
but bad news for you.
Gabrielle, catch!
Run!
Come on, run!
Gabrielle?
Wait, wait, stop!
I think I hear Xena.
Hey.
Glad to see ya.

Xena? Oh.
Mount Nestus.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Mount Nestus?
- Take me there.
- I c...
I can't take you there.
I-I don't know what...

Okay.

You're lucky M'Lila

How're you feeling?
Fine.
Much stronger.
Those needles are fascinating.
Hmm.
M'Lila.
Up on that cross...
I wasn't sure
that I wanted to live.
N' you, you had no reason
to save me, but you did.
Thank you.
I know you can't understand.
She wants to know
if you feel anger...
towards Caesar.
- There she is!
- Get her!
Something's happening.
Her pulse is failing.
You'll be dead
in thirty seconds.
But know this,
you won't be the last.
- She's gone.
- She can't be gone.
Tell Hades to prepare himself.
A new Xena is born tonight.
With a new purpose in life.
No.
Death.
No!
Let her pass over.
Please...
Please, wake up.
Wake up!
Wake up!
Oh. Please, wake up.
Do something!
Do something!
M'Lila.
Hello, Xena.
You should have left me to die
back there on that beach.
You have a destiny, Xena.
But you have to choose it.
I did choose it!
I chose evil.
Now that you know evil...,
were evil...,
you can fight evil.
When the living
think of the dead...,
the dead can hear
their thoughts.
Listen.
Xena...,
I know you can hear me...
wherever you are.
I know you always told me
to be strong.
I can't be. Not now.
You can't leave me.
I know it's not your time.
I can feel it in my heart.
I should feel this emptiness
that I've never known before,
and it scares me.
Xena, above all,
just remember your destiny.
Remember it and fight.
Just fight to come back.
This world needs you.
I need you.
I have to go back.
TO BE CONTINUED...
