06x06 - The Abyss

Post by bunniefuu »

Faster! We gotta go faster!

- Hosep!
- Virgil!

We gotta keep movin'!

Virgil!

Help me! Help me!

Virgil!

Help me, Virgil! Help me!

Nice sh*t.

Just don't know what kind
of wine goes with bark.

So we'll have fish.

That's what people do
when they're on a river.

Fish is all right with me.

You're the one who
said she wanted venison.

I'm having a bad day.

Nah, he's havin' a good one.
It's all in how you look at it.

I think I'll get the boat ready.

Virgil and Hosep will be waiting.

This river's so calm...

I was hoping it would
have an effect on you.

Up there on the right...

Looks like their campsite.

Finally.

Four hours old.

There's blood on this.

There's blood everywhere.

Thieves?

No.

They escaped in their canoe.

They were running for their lives.

Hosep...

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.

Virgil!

If they made it this far, they'd
most likely keep to the river.

That's if they made it, Xena.

- Gabrielle...
- Virgil!

I don't know what's wrong with me.

You're still condemning yourself
for k*lling that boy in the desert.

I condemn myself for his father's sake.

Korah's father forgave you.

So would anyone with enough
wisdom and experience to...

To know what? These things happen?

Unfortunately they do.

My reflexes are those of a warrior.

I'm afraid my judgment's not.

I think that's a bad combination. Virgil!

Virgil!

This broke up no more
than a few hours ago.

How could it break up?

What?

We're being watched.

By who?

Let's just keep going.

There's a waterfall up ahead.
We'll have to travel by land.

Xena, if I had listened to my heart...

... do you think that boy
would still be alive?

You did listen to your heart. You
thought he was going to k*ll me.

Your heart said to protect me.

Anyway, a trained warrior
would never have ridden up...

... behind me knowing it could
have been perceived as an att*ck.

Are you saying that he sent
a boy to do a man's job?

I'm saying I'm glad I can
trust you with my life.

Especially right now.

Head for shore!

What was that?

Korah?

Gabrielle!

Xena!

Xena!

Gabrielle!

Xena!

Gabrielle!

Hang on, Gabrielle!

Gabrielle...

Come on, Gabrielle.

My side...

Come on...

Get up and let me take a look at that.

Take it easy... Take it easy.

Those things bit us...

... like they wanted to eat us.

They were cannibals, Gabrielle.

Cannibals? We have to tell Virgil.

First things first.

Got a bit of blade stuck in your side.

We need to get that out.

- All right, you
ready? - Uh- huh.

I'm not going to let you get yourself
k*lled because of your guilt, Gabrielle.

Just stop the lecture!

You can't keep seeing that boy's
face every time you raise a w*apon!

You can't.

If I... If I hadn't hesitated, then...

Don't think about it any more.

You're gonna have to conserve energy.

I want you to get back into
the cave as far as you can.

Try to keep warm.

I'll be right back.

Your wound's getting worse.

We're in a tough spot, huh?

We've been in worse scrapes.

We're gonna get you out of here.

Count on it.

Look... Look... I don't know
what it is you want from me...

... but whatever it is, you can have it.

Look, see, see, see, I'm meeting
this great warrior named Xena.

I'm sure you've heard the name.

And if I don't show up, she's gonna come
lookin' for me. She's gonna come looking.

She... She...

No! No!

Hope?

Did you say something?

My baby...

Is that you?

Yeah, it's me.

I love you.

I would never hurt you.

You know that, don't you?

I know.

You're my child.

You have to go.

You have to go. She'll hurt you.

She'll take you away from me.

You have to rest.

You don't have to go anywhere.

You don't understand.

I do understand.

I understand everything.

Hello!

Oh, don't tell me they've
cut out your tongue already.

I am so tired of talking to myself...

Is there more? I'm realy thirsty.

Oh, there's quite a bit more than
merely "more". There's plenty!

What kind of savages feed
their captives like kings?

Maybe they did understand me, now that
they know that I'm a friend of Xena.

What are you doing?

Breathing a sigh of relief.

About what?

Your youthful zest for food and drink.

Oh, I get it. I'm the catch of the day.

You were a little slow
on the uptake, my friend,...

... thinking all these goodies
were because you knew...

... some warrior named Zebra.

Xena! Her name is Xena, and
she will come for me, you watch.

The reason I haven't been
the main course yet is diet...

... and exercise.

So what you're sayin' is from their
perspective I'm a tasty morsel?

Oh, a downright delicacy. I
think you're on tomorrow's menu...

... unless, of course, you can come up
with a morsel tastier than yourself...

... like this Zebra, perhaps,
or... some of her friends.

Gabrielle...

Gabrielle...

Here... Here...

The time's come. We're getting
you out of here, all right?

All right...

Xena, I have a last wish.

I don't want to hear of it.

No, I'm serious. You don't want to know?

What is it then?

I don't want to be
buried with the amazons.

All right. Well, in fifty
years, when the time comes.

Xena...

I wanna lie with you... with
your family... in Amphipolis.

What about your family?

I love them. But I'm a part of you.

I want it to be like that forever.

I love you.

This is all my fault.


This is not your fault.
This is not your fault.

It's mine for setting you on a
path you were never meant to walk.

Any path is ok, Xena,
as long as it's with you.

I'm setting you on a path
to somewhere warm and dry.

Hang on, Gabrielle.

It's cold. It's cold. Cold.

Gabrielle...

Listen...

Don't be afraid. Trust me.

Xe...

Xena...

Xena...

Xena!

Xena!

Xena!

Gabrielle!

You're freezing! Give me that rug!

You just gained more time.
Women always retain more.

- Who is that?
- That... is Rubio.

- You may call me...
- Shut up!

- Where's Xena?
- I don't know.

Don't hurt her. Take me. Take me.

They were trying to treat your wound.

These boys will do anything
to save meat from going bad.

No offense.

Maybe you should rest, Gabrielle,...

... because if given half the chance...

... I promise you... I'm
gonna get us out of here.

Be ready when Xena comes.

I will.

Hey...

Your fever's broken...

... but you're still weak.

Virgil, I'm so sorry...

For what?

I lost my nerve.

That's how I got hurt.

If I had just k*lled that
cannibal who att*cked me...

... then Xena and I would
have saved you by now.

Never apologize for having
compassion, Gabrielle.

That's one of the most
beautiful things about you.

Wait, wait, wait, wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!

Wait! Wait! Don't hurt
her! Do not hurt her!

Take me instead! Take me!

- Virgil!
- Wait! Wait! Wait!

Where are they taking her?

Where are they taking her?! No! Gabrielle!

Gabrielle!

Gabrielle!

Xena!

Xena!

Get Virgil! Get to the horses!

Hurry! Hurry!

Come on!

Let's go!

Xena!

Stand up.

Why are we stopping? We must keep moving!

It looks like the cannibals weren't
the only ones cooking something up.

- So, what's the plan?
- I'm going back.

Going back?

I'm going back to lead the
cannibals around below the dam.

Gabrielle and Virgil,
I want you to stay here.

When you see them in
position, cut the vine.

What about me?

You take the horses and get outta here.

Come on!

Korah?

Come on, piggies.

Oh, no.

Come and get it!

Dinner's calling.

Gabrielle, now!

Gabrielle!

Gabrielle!

Gabrielle!

Gabrielle! Do it now!

- You ok?
- Yeah.

This sword's looking a
little worse for wear.

How you feeling?

I feel better.

I mean upstairs.

Xena, I did what I had to do.

I will learn to live with my mistakes...

... no matter how terrible they may be...

... but that's the way.

What way?

- Who are you, anyway?
- I... am Rubio...

- ... but you may call me...
- We know.

... Rubio.
