All language subtitles for 3x22-Sacrifice(Part2)

- You want to die?
- I want oblivion.

I want my life to end! I want
it all to stop! No nothing!

This isn't about Callisto.

- It's about something else.
- Daughter of Dahak.

It's about Hope.

Such power, it's almost scary.

Callisto is protecting Hope,

so whatever happens I got
to take her out of the picture.

No!

You still owe me for getting
you to Chin ahead of Xena.

Now I'm calling that favor in.

Do you think that
Hope is vulnerable?

That's exactly
what I think.

- This is Xena's life-thread.
- That's right.

And if I'm right,

we'll get a chance to kill her.

When she kills Hope--

- The Fates agree.
- If Xena kills Hope--

-- Xena-- will die.

Hello, Mother.

Hope?

Oh, the mother and child reunion.

I'm all misty-eyed.

Now, she's scary!

And you just lost your one
chance before she hatched, Xena.

It ain't over yet!

- Xena! You'll kill her!
- Get back, Gabrielle!

Hope is just using you, Callisto.

I wouldn't turn my back on her.

Like you turned your back
on precious little Gabrielle?

Yeah. Guess you speak
from experience, huh?

Experience that!

Gabrielle?
What's happening to me?

Help me, please!

- Hope!
- No!

- Hope! Stop this!
- Gabrielle, no.

Come on,

you are her mother.

- The two of you should be together!
- Get out of my way!

Hope--

Go. Go!

Go!

Hurry!

Go!

Callisto!

Dahak has more important
things in mind.

Take me out of here.

Look, Xena.
You can't kill her.

Xena!

Well, you protected your
daughter well, didn't you?

Look, you don't understand--

Why you released that
monster that killed my son

and all the children
of the world?

Well, that I do not understand.

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...

Sacrifice
(Part 2)

Xena, just listen to me.

Ares came to me.
He called in my debt.

He said that I had
to stop you from killing Hope,

- or you were going to die.
- Don't you get it?

I would gladly die to rid
the world of that thing.

Well, I had to do something.
I had to think quickly.

I-- I just couldn't stand
the thought of losing you.

Hope's stronger now.

But she's still half-human.

I hurt her in there.
And when it happened,

Seraphin returned
to normal for a minute.

Gabrielle, whatever happens,
I must stop Hope.

And if I have to die
doing it, then so be it.

Do you understand?

I understand.

So, I have faith in you?

It's strange.

The one I love most in all
the world, and the one I hate...

look exactly the same.

I don't know why you want to look
like her. She's an annoying, little--

Do it!

So be it.

Well, it is a good disguise.

And it'll attract less attention than
walking around naked, I suppose.

Attracting attention
isn't a problem.

Now that I'm back,

the faithful will come
by the thousands.

The blood of innocents
will soak the holy ground.

And Dahak will enter the world.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Glory Hallelujah.

But first, your promise.

Come on.

Kill me.

You could be a soldier
in Dahak's army.

Instead, you choose oblivion.

Call me short-sighted,
but that's our deal.

When I'm finished with you,
you will get your reward.

As promised.

The pantheon of gods will fall
once you enter the world, Dahak.

I don't regret joining you.

I mean, serving you,
O Dark One.

If you understood what
an honor it was to be chosen,

you would not
be fighting us.

Your innocence, your blood will
welcome Dahak into the world.

Welcome this.

It's happening all over
the land, Xena,

and you can't stop it!

People being taken as hostages?

Well, what if my
Hope's come back?

One of my duties
is to prepare the way.

These people have been chosen!

As blood sacrifices.
All for the glory of Dahak.

You said that that was just one
of her duties. What else is there?

Maybe that hasn't been
revealed to me yet.

Seraphin, you're talking about
the slaughter of innocent people.

Save your breath.

Dahak's hold on his followers
is stronger than ever.

She never gives up.

Even when it's hopeless.

Time was, it was a quality
I admired about her.

How's life as a slave
to your new master?

Dahak.

I consider it a partnership.

You know, he's not so bad
once you get to know him.

He's ruthless, decisive.
We got a lot in common.

I'm here to remind you that
our deal is still in place.

I know that Hope has to die,
no matter the consequences.

Even if that means saying
good-bye to your beloved Xena?

Think you can just
let it happen?

I don't.

A temple to a lesser god.
Changes are in order.

Always wanted to do that.

Tell me how you
really feel, Callisto.

Ares.

- Well, come on!
- Sorry.

This time, we're on
the same side.

What?

He's with us?
You didn't tell me that.

You're told what you
need to know, Callisto.

Nothing more.

Hope, you mess with him,
you're asking for trouble.

Relax. We all want
the same thing.

The Hind's Blood Dagger.
The only thing that can kill a god.

With it, no god would raise
a hand against Dahak, or...

- against me, for that matter.
- I know where it is.

- I saw where Hercules put it.
- All right, enough games!

Where is it?

I wouldn't want you
using it on yourself, Callisto.

- Yet.
- I want it... now!

Just like old times.

Remember when I killed Strife--
that look in his eyes?

You're next, Ares!

Enough!

Ares.

You and I have
unfinished business.

Callisto, I will deal
with you when I say.

Not before.

You are so not like your mother.

Get going!

That's the third group
that we've seen.

They're all headed
the same way.

- For Dahak's holy ground.
- Yeah.

Don't you think
we should help them?

No, there must be hundreds
of groups like this

being brought to
slaughter from all over.

We can't liberate them all.

We'll save more people
if we get to the source

of the problem
and snuff it out.

You're gonna try using me
again to betray my god.

Aren't you? Well, you
know what? I can't let you!

Hold on!

- No! Let me go!
- I gotcha!

Stay still!
Gabrielle!

Gabrielle!

Why, hello there, Xena.

How will you ever
get out of this one?

Oh god!

Oh, well done, Xena.

I'm not here to fight
with you, Xena.

Just want to chat.

Let me guess.

Things didn't work out with Hope
quite the way you expected.

No, actually.
The sight of her and Ares

rolling around like
weasels made me sick.

Hope and Ares?

Yes, Gabrielle. It seems
your daughter is in heat.

So you're switching sides.
Again.

For a price.

I help you put Dahak back in
the bottle, and you help me die.

I figure you've got a bead
on that Hind's Blood Dagger.

Hercules probably told you
where it was.

It can kill a god, you know.

So how about it?

I scratch your back,
you stab mine?

What's the matter?

Existence getting to be
a bit of a burden?

Yes, honestly.

I yearn for oblivion.
Annihilation.

Peace, if you will.

You helped that
demon kill my son.

You think I'm gonna
help you find peace?

Then I'll just go back
and do Hope's bidding.

Do that.

I've beaten you before.
I can beat you again.

- Seraphin!
- Let her go!

She'll only slow us down.
She's doomed anyway,

if we can't stop Hope.

May you live forever.

It's gone.

That's far enough.

Release those people
or you'll be sorry.

Who are you?

Joxer the Mighty.

Never heard of you.

Step aside,
or suffer the wrath of Dahak.

Dahak? The one
great evil Dahak?

You... workin' for him?

G-Good benefits?

That's funny.

Come. Let us give these
sacrifices to our lord.

Look, I know that Ares
deal with the Fates.

After Hope dies, you're not
gonna be around much longer.

And we can help
each other out, right?

You know where that
dagger is, don't you?

You could just use it
and do the job on me.

I could, but I won't.

No. You want it for Ares.

You're willing to take
Ares out to get to Hope,

but why not let me help you?

And then, it would be so
simple to just turn it on me.

Because I like the idea of you
living with your suffering.

Oh, please. Who said
anything about suffering?

Really, it's more of
a boredom thing.

An emptiness, really.

Anyways, I'm disappointed
in you, Xena.

The sensible thing would be
to enlist me on your side.

You're taking this
far, far too personal.

- You know, she's right.
- What?

Remember what you said
about staying focused?

You're letting your anger
get in the way here, Xena.

It's best if we let her help us.

All right.

Ow! Geez!

Jumped by 100 guys.
Boy, if I ever find them

Hi, Gabrielle-- Gabby!
Boy, am I glad to see you.

We got big trouble.
Hey, where's Xena?

We're close.
Aren't we?

Yeah, I'd say so.
Now look.

- Dahak and his guys hijacked--
- We've known each other for...

how long now?

I don't know. A couple years.

Look, if we can get
a small band together--

You know me pretty well, don't you?

Yeah, I'd say so.
A small band together--

Better than anyone?

Other than Xena, of course.

Yeah, like I say, we're pretty close.
Now, I'll come up from behind.

- I'll camp--
- I wanna talk to you

about our relationship.

You wanna-- You want--
You mean, like you and me?

Just like that.

Wait a minute.
You-- You-- You--

You wanna know how I feel
about our relationship?

I wanna know how
you feel about me.

It's a very big question.

Um, I-I, uh, I feel, um--

Well, I feel, uh--

Would you call it love?

Well,

that's a huge word,
but I'm, uh--

I think I have a nosebleed.

That's strange.

There wasn't enough love
in her to let me live.

Yet people love her.

What would you make of
my feelings towards Xena?

Xena? We-- You know.

You love her more than
anybody in the whole world.

More than anyone.

Has Xena told you anything
about the Hind's Blood Dagger?

What's that?

Never mind.

- Stay with the children!
- Mommy, I'm scared!

I'll make sure they
get into the woods.

All right.
Don't be gone long.

- We gotta keep moving.
- You're coming with us!

Hurry! Go!

Gabrielle.

Gabrielle!

Now's your chance to go for the
dagger while Callisto's occupied.

Come on!

Gabrielle?

Callisto!

This way!

I'll be right behind you.

Okay. I want you to go to the ruins
at the foot of Mount Areopagus.

Is that where
the dagger's hidden?

In the crypt.
I'll keep Callisto busy,

but you've got to
watch for Ares.

Gabrielle, we'll be lucky if
we get one last shot at her.

- I'm counting on you.
- She is evil.

She deserves to die.

Maybe even to suffer a little.

I wouldn't say that

After all, she is my child.

Now, Xena, tell me.
Where is the dagger?

There must be
a thousand crypts.

It's carved in the shape--

Don't turn around, Gabrielle.
Don't you turn around.

- What's the name of your sister?
- What sister?

Let's go.

You can't have a bloodletting
without the guest of honor.

Hope wants that dagger.

She needs it to kill
the Olympian gods.

What did you think
you were doing?

Girl's gotta have some fun.

- Let's get that dagger.
- First things first.

When the time comes,

it just better be there.

When the blood flows,
my father will enter the world.

By morning, we will have
enough sacrifices to begin.

- Now, go. Get ready.
- As you wish.

I've satisfied
my curiosity, Father.

My mother and Xena are weak.
They are fools.

If they dare come here,
they will be sorry.

They'll come.

They'll come.

All right. That's enough!

I don't know why I keep
fallin' off those things.

I am sick to death of you.

The fate of the entire
world rests on this mission.

If you think I'm gonna
let a bumbling fool

like you mess it up,
you got another thing coming.

What?

You don't hear too good, huh?

I said I am sick of you.
Now get lost!

You guys--

Xena?

Need a little lesson, huh?

You didn't sneak off
back in that village

and get that Hind's
Blood Dagger, did you?

Get lost and don't follow us!

If I did, do you think
I would tell you?

Now scram, you fool!
Moron.

Get out of here.

All right, let's move.

A hundred men. I'll be ready
if there's 1,000 men--

Hi, fellas.
Nice robes.

Looks like we found
another sacrifice.

No need for firewood
with me around.

This is probably
the last night sky

either one of us
will ever see.

I'm going for a walk.

Ares?

I know you're here,
'cause my skin is crawling.

Show yourself.

You're the only mortal
I know who can do that.

What do you want?

I've come to give you one last
chance to join up with me and Dahak.

We're gonna win, Xena.
There's no turning back.

Join us.

What makes you think
that you can trust Dahak?

Let me guess. Is it because
you played such a large part

in his daughter's
delicate condition?

So you know.

And we haven't even sent out
the announcements yet.

Seraphin said that Hope
had a special purpose:

I heard you were together
and I guessed the rest.

Hope is pregnant
with your child.

No.

That's not possible.

Congratulations, Gabrielle.

You're gonna be a grandma.

Dahak's daughter.
Your Olympian seed.

You sold out your fellow gods so
that you could sire a new race.

Our child will be the first of what
Dahak calls "The Six Destroyers."

Insidious creatures
with no souls,

who will eat of the living
and the righteous

and lay waste to all gods!

You deserve the little monsters.

This can't be happening!

Oh, but it can, Gabrielle!

All thanks to you,
it's the beginning of the end.

The bloodletting ceremony will be
the window into the world for Dahak.

Even if you manage to somehow
kill Hope, you still lose.

The Fates will cut you down.

So for me, it's...

win... win.

Good-bye, Xena.

It has been fun.

Move! Move!
Get in there!

Find anything?

No dagger.
You've hidden it well.

Okay. We'll do
things your way.

But if you don't produce it soon,
you'll get no help from me.

Mother!

I'm not going to hurt you.

It's growing.

Inside me, Gabrielle.

The child.

The way that
I grew inside of you.

What do you want, Hope?

I want to give you
one last chance.

Don't make me do this alone.

Come. Be my mother?

If I say so,
Father will welcome you.

Please?
Please, Mother?

Hope, when I gave you
that poison...

I forgive you.

I'm so sorry
it didn't finish you.

Try not to die before
doing me first.

Or I'll make Gabrielle
wish you had.

How's that for incentive?

- Gabrielle, stay here.
- No way.

After all we've been through,
I'm with you till the end.

Then just one thing.

When I'm gone, I don't
want you to feel any guilt.

- Xena--
- Listen to me!

A lot's happened to us
over the past year,

and there were times when
we were both very confused.

I want you to know that
I still think you're

the best thing that
ever happened to me.

You gave my life
meaning and joy,

and you will be
a part of me forever.

- Ready?
- Yeah.

Let's go.

She's here.
It's time.

Prepare the sacrifices.
Slit their throats!

Xena!

- They're losing.
- Don't worry.

They got to come
through me to get to you.

Joxer!

Did you get it?

I got it.

You want a taste of
hind's blood, huh?

This isn't over yet.

Do it!
Got to admit, it's my turn!

You can't stop
the will of Dahak.

If Xena kills Hope,

Xena... will die.

You know the stakes, Gabrielle.

Xena's fate is in your hands.

Hope!

Gabrielle!

Gab--

Gabrielle!

I never thought I'd feel
so good again.

Seeing poor, dear Gabrielle sacrifice
herself makes it all worthwhile.

It finally gives me
a reason...

for living and I have
you to thank for it, Xena!

No more living for you.
