Xena: Warrior Princess (1995–2001): Season 6, Episode 22 - A Friend in Need Part II - full transcript
When Xena dies in order to fight Yodoshi as a ghost, Gabrielle starts a dangerous journey to retrieve her friend's body and put her ashes into the Fountain of Strength, which will bring her back from the dead.
Previously on Xena...
You saw Akemi?
Xena, you must save Higuchi
from destruction.
- Who was that demon?!
- The Lord of the Dark Land.
He's preparing an army
to wage war in Higuchi...
and slowly, the populace.
At least three armies
are gathering.
Only... another ghost...
can trap... a spirit
as mighty as Yodoshi.
I just wanted you to know
everything I know.
Let's go,
we got a battle to win.
XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS
It's too quiet out here.
Gabrielle, what would you do?
(what would you do?)
Listen not just to the sounds...,
but to what's behind the sounds.
(what's behind the sounds.)
Always remember: I love you.
(I love you. [...])
Xena!
All right.
Now you asked for it.
Gabrielle!
If I only had thirty seconds
to live...
We're going to be together.
You brought out the best in me.
Gabrielle!
...this is how I'd want to live them...,
looking into your eyes.
Xena!
You came to me
in my dreams...
and I thought it was reality.
Now you come to me
in reality...
and it feels like it's a dream.
Either way,
I'm filled with joy.
The ghost killer.
What's he doing?
His job.
Speeding wandering souls
on their way,
before they can be devoured
by Yodoshi.
Perhaps he sees Xena.
Xena is alive!
Do you understand?
She is alive.
I want to write a verse
to express how I feel...,
but there's no poetry
of sufficient beauty.
Akemi...,
I've been in the underworld before,
but it never felt like this.
What's goin' on?
Our bodies...,
they're an illusion...
projected by Yodoshi.
While we are
under his power...
we must obey his will.
Funny, you're just the way
I remember you.
I am at your service,
Lord Yodoshi.
You most certainly are.
An eternity...
of playing the whore
to service my appetite for souls.
Xena...,
I was so worried that you
wouldn't show Yodoshi respect.
He's very dangerous.
It wasn't respect
I was showing him.
I'm going to destroy Yodoshi.
It will be very dangerous.
You know
you are being watched.
She'll try to follow me.
Let her.
- Xena.
- Gabrielle.
What are you doing here?
I was so worried about you.
I found your chakram.
There's so much blood.
I'm all right.
What's with the robes?
Gabrielle, I'm going to kill
the Lord of the Dark Land.
You'll need this.
I can't take that.
It's difficult to explain.
You're dead.
You're dead.
How could you let yourself
be killed?
I'm sorry, Gabrielle,
I couldn't tell you.
You'd have tried to stop me,
and then we'd both be dead.
Is that supposed
to make me feel better?
We've overcome death before.
We will find a way
to bring me back.
But only by becoming a spirit
can I kill Yodoshi
and free those souls
that I condemned to torment.
Don't you see that?
You're my whole life,
Xena.
I won't lose you.
You won't lose me.
Harukata,
don't you come near her.
Put down your weapons, Gabrielle.
He's working with me.
The anklet!
With this, we can bring Yodoshi
to us when we're ready.
This is my soul mate.
She's a poet like you, Akemi.
I have one question.
Would you risk your life...
for the return of hers?
Without hesitation.
There is a way, Gabrielle.
You must take her body,
burn it...,
then sprinkle the ashes
into the Fountain of Strength
on Mount Fuji.
You must find the fountain before
the second sunset after death.
That's tomorrow.
Harukata will say
the incantations necessary...
to give the sacred katana
power against malicious spirits.
Gabrielle.
This is Akemi.
It is an honor to meet you
at last.
And you, Akemi.
Gabrielle can't help
with our work in the tea house.
She knows what she must do,
and she should leave soon.
Thank you.
Wait.
I would like to give you something...
to protect you on your journey.
Good luck, old friend.
I am getting your body back, Xena,
no matter where they have hidden it.
Before sunset tomorrow,
we will meet again...
on the side of Mount Fujisan.
See you there.
Give me her head!
I've been expecting you.
Your friend was a fine opponent.
She provided me
with one of the greatest trophies
an honorable samurai
could ever claim.
You call yourself honorable?
You outnumbered her
a thousand to one.
You're not a samurai,
you're a fraud.
You couldn't've killed Xena
unless she wanted you to.
I think it's you
with a death wish!
I accept the challenge.
Listen not just to the sounds...,
but to what's behind the sounds.
(behind the sounds.)
It was the greatest honor of my life...
to send Xena to an early grave.
If I cannot
do the same to you...,
then I ask you...
to grant me a noble defeat.
Please, remove my head
in one stroke.
Good.
Huh?
Where is Miyuki?!
Where is he?
Duck!
We finally meet,
ghost killer.
Akemi.
Akemi.
Akemi. Are you all right?
I can't let you die.
If I only had thirty seconds
to live...
this is how I'd want to live them...,
looking into your eyes.
Even in death, Gabrielle...,
I will never leave you.
You will return to me,
my friend.
- Harukata, what went wrong?
- He's drinking...
from the Fountain of Strength
on Mount Fuji.
If you drink...
from the fountain...
and use... the sword
I blessed...,
it will be the final destruction...
for any spirit.
Xena...,
you must finish a job...
and release us all.
I will not rest
till it is done.
I will not allow you to find
the fountain... and revive your friend.
No!
No! No!
Come on. Come on!
Xena.
What?
My own daughter?!
Xena?
Xena.
Xena..., what happened?
Told you I'd see you here.
The Fountain of Strength...
Get water...
Fountain... Water...
Gabrielle...
Gabrielle, I need the sacred katana
to finish the job. Thank you.
The sun is setting, Xena.
I have to find your ashes.
- Gabrielle...
- Come on!
Gab...
Enough of this!
You are about to join the 40.000
souls you condemned, Xena.
And the first thing I'll do...
is take the head off
your little friend with the tatoo.
You won't live that long.
I deserve the dignity
of a warrior.
Dignity, huh?
Like you showed my friend?
- Xena.
- Akemi.
You've redeemed me.
You've redeemed them!
- You've redeemed yourself!
- Go in peace, Akemi.
We'll meet again...
one day.
- No, Gabrielle.
- Xena.
- No.
- Xena..., the sun is setting.
- I have to bring you back to life.
- No.
Not if it means condemning the souls
of the 40.000 who burned at Higuchi.
- The souls are free.
- They're free from Yodoshi's grasp.
Akemi didn't wanna tell me this
in case I wouldn't come back to help...,
but for those souls to be released
into a state of grace...,
they must be avenged.
I must stay dead.
- But if I bring you back to life...
- Those souls will be lost forever.
Xena...
That is not right.
I don't care.
- You're all that matters to me.
- Don't you know
how much I wanna let you do this?
But if there is a reason
for our travels together..., it's
because I had to learn from you...
enough to know the final, the good,
the right thing to do.
I can't come back.
I can't.
I love you, Xena. How am I supposed
to go on without you?
I'll always be with you,
Gabrielle.
Always.
Xena.
A life of journeying has brought you
to the farthest lands...,
to the very edges of the Earth.
And to the place where
I'll always remain: your heart.
- So, where to now?
- I think we should go south,
to the land of the pharaohs. I hear
they need a girl with a chakram.
Where you go...,
I'm at your side.
I knew you'd say that.
