"My dreams are dark." "There's danger." "Illuminate that section..." "there, my Fates." "Tell me." "As it has been since time beyond remembering you will continue to rule supreme among supreme until such time as a child not begotten by man is born." "A time that's fast approaching." "Nonsense." "Everything that breathes upon this Earth breathes because we've given it life." "Our dominion here... is eternal." "You told me once, dear husband..., ...that all things must come to an end." "Why should we be any exception?" "Because I have aways been the master of fate." "I'm not about to become its servant." "Oh, Gabrielle..." "Come here, give me your hand." "No, no." "Here." "That was a drop kick." "I know." "Just like mom." "We are not alone." "Xena, wait." "I had a dream last night." "You and I were both giving birth to your baby." "It was like it was coming from both of us." "That's very nice." "You know, if I could give ya half the labor pains, I would do it." "Well, sadly that's not the case." "This kid's going to change our lives completely." "Yeah." "I'm gonna... be more alert, Xena." "I'm worried about its safety." "We do seem to find our share of trouble." "eah, like the big trouble you found when you forgot to tell an old friend of yours you were about to have a baby." "Hey, old friend, did you hear that I'm about to have a baby?" "Well, then I would say congratulations are in order." "It's good to see you." "And you..." "Wasn't your hair a little bit longer last time I saw you?" "I was gonna ask you the same thing." "Who's your friend?" "I named him Iolaus." "But he happens to be for you." "...or should I say for your child." "What is it?" "Six behind you." "Six behind you." "Care to dance?" "Are you sure?" "Sure I'm sure." "Let's dance." "Sleep tight." "Who sent you?" "Zeus has decreed it!" "Decreed what?" "The unborn child of Xena must die." "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..." "Why would Zeus wanna hurt your child?" "I don't know, but I'm not gonna stand around waiting for him to take another shot at me." "No, wait!" "Proxidicae..." "Zeus' secret guard." "You kill one, the rest get stronger." "Tremendous." "Do you think we lost 'em?" "For now, but they'll keep coming." "Xena, what are you gonna do?" "You can't hide from Zeus." "I can if I'm invisible." "Hades?" "The helmet of invisibility..." "I used it once to help Hades square things in Tartarus." "Xena, tell me we're not going to Tartarus." "The underworld's a place for the dead." "If you give birth there, your child will be stillborn." "If it's a choice between your father and my child, I choose my child." "Agreed, but let me talk to him first." "All right, but if you can't stop him, I'm going to use the helmet to get close to him." "It won't come to that, but even if you're sitting on his lap..." "I mean, he's still the king of the gods." "Y'know there are ways to kill a god." "You know about the ribs of Cronos..." "No mortal has ever been able to find the remains." "But I bet you could." "Wait." "Before anyone goes killing my father, at least let me have a meeting with him and see what this is about." "It's the proxidicae." "Your choice, Hercules." "Xena..." "I would die before I'd let anyone hurt your child." "It looks so deep." "It's the only way I know to get into Tartarus." "Are you all right?" "It's always going to be this way, isn't it?" "My child will always face an uphill battle to be happy." "Xena, your baby won't have to do it alone." "You will always be there." "I couldn't save my son." "Xena, that was not your fault." "We both have regrets about Solon." "This is going to be different." "You and I will dedicate our lives to protect your baby." "Come on, you can't fail." "We won't fail." "All right..." "Let's go." "Zeus!" "Show yourself!" "Zeus!" "You don't understand, son." "Xena's child is an abomination sired by a force more destructive than you can imagine." "I suppose you expect me to take your word on that." "Your father is telling you the truth, Hercules." "I can't imagine two people I trust less..." "...to tell me the truth." "The birth of Xena's child will herald the death of the greek gods." "Oh, so that's what this is about." "Once again, you're only looking out for yourselves." "I can't believe I ever thought putting you two back together would be good for anybody." "You selfish pup!" "You walk through life reaping the benefits of my immortal blood and all the while you look down on us?" "Do you really believe that humanity can survive without gods?" "Yes, I do." "You have the blood of a god, Hercules." "This could mean your death as well." "I also have the blood of a mortal." "I'll take my chances." "Reconsider." "You've always held a special place in my heart, Hercules..., ...but it's a place that can as easily be filled by your loving memory." "I don't think I'll be calling you "father" anymore." "The Fates have decreed our destiny." "Perhaps..., ...well, this is just our time." "The boy tells me that destiny is what we make it!" "You know, I'll never get used to that." "Down here!" "This way." "Which way?" "To what do I owe this dubious pleasure?" "Is it so odd for a father to want to spend time with his son?" "Ok." "So now I'm your son?" "Please, don't insult my intelligence." "You obviously want something." "I need you to keep Hercules out of my way." "Why can't you do it yourself?" "Because what I must do to Xena and her child I cannot ask of anybody else." "You are a real piece of work." "You know that?" "You want me to keep Hercules busy so you don't have to kill him." "Meantime, you intend to murder a woman I'm rather fond of." "So fond of her as to bring about your own death?" "That's exactly what will happen if this child is born." "No, no deal." "That is, unless, of course, you're willing to offer me something in return." "Such as?" "You have always kept a watchful eye over Hercules." "Well, now I'm asking you to turn the other way while I do what I have to to stop him." "You're asking for my permission to kill my own son?" "What is it about him you have never seen in me?" "It's not just you." "He has managed to do something that we god have tried and failed to accomplish." "He's earned humanity's love in every gesture except fear." "And Xena has earned mine." "So I guess we both have something to lose." "Well, Dad..." "What's it gonna be?" "You have no idea how glad I am to see you again." "And you don't know how little I give a damn." "Well, you've been lucky so far, little brother." "I've always gone kind 'a easy on ya." "So like all those other times I just knocked you flat on your ass you were just pretending..." "I was just worried what Dad'd do if I really hurt you." "You've always been his favorite." "Well, you see, that's the difference between you and me." "See, I never really cared what Daddy thought." "Good, good." "Then you won't mind if he doesn't turn up to your funeral." "Oh, boy." "Hercules..." "You're in the forest of the Titans, and I know why." "What's happened to them?" "They're doomed to spend the rest of eternity watching the lives they left behind." "It's so cruel." "It's Tartarus, Gabrielle." "No one gets here by accident." "There's no need to be afraid." "I won't bite you." "I promise." "You can come down now, Solon." "I know you're up there." "Solon..." "Solon..." "Mother?" "Sweetheart..." "Solon..." "Solon, how did you get here?" "You're supposed to be in the Elysian Fields." "I didn't want to go." "You chose this?" "Hades told me that in the Elysian Fields you don't even know you're dead." "You just live the same day over and over thinking your family's gonna be home any minute." "But they never come." "The next morning it just starts all over again." "That's so you don't miss the people you left behind." "If not missing you means not seeing you I'd rather stay here." "At least this way, I'd still get to be with you." "Sweetheart..." "Please, don't cry." "It was my decision." "And I love you for it." "But I can't let you stay here." "I'm taking you where you deserve to be." "Don't argue with me." "Gabrielle..." "Once we get the helmet, we're taking Solon to the Elysian Fields." "Come on." "He'll be out for quite some time." "Ok, you know, you're gonna have to explain this one to me." "I want to help." "Really?" "Now, the only person you know to help is yourself." "No, for the first time in your life, you're wrong about me, Hercules." "I don't think so." "You see, whatever you and Zeus have planned here, I'm not gonna play." "Zeus... doesn't know that I'm here." "I came to help you." "You must believe me." "And why should I believe you?" "You've been trying to kill me since the day I was born." "And yet here I am, offering to fight by your side." "Hércules, our war is over." "You showed me that when you saved my grandson." "You wanna help me, huh?" "Even though saving Xena's child could mean the end of the gods." "You'll have to excuse my skepticism." "Hercules!" "I know what you're looking for." "Xena..." "Xena..." "I'll scout ahead." "Solon, come on." "I don't wanna go." "Solon..." "I know what's best for you." "I'll never see you again." "Sweetie, you're gonna be so happy." "Don't you wanna be happy?" "I wanna be with you." "But you will." "I'll come back to you, I promise." "Now, come on." "You just wanna take me to the Elysian Fields 'cause you don't need me anymore." "What are you talking about?" "You have a new baby now." "Listen, Solon." "There's not a day that's gone by that I haven't thought about you." "You've changed my life forever." "You know why?" "There was a time when I wasn't a very good person." "Then I had you and you were so beautiful." "You were so perfect that I knew I couldn't be all bad." "Looking back, you were a vision of hope." "That's what you'll always be for me." "Xena, all clear." "You ready?" "Come on." "That was too easy." "Tell me about it." "I'd be happy to." "Make yourselves comfortable." "You'll be spending eternity here." "Xena, old friend..." "You know I don't enjoy wanton violence." "If you surrender now, I'll spare your friend and I'll personally escort your son to the Elysian Fields." "You know these proxidicae are very difficult to defeat." "We could evade them forever, Hades." "But you don't have forever, do you?" "Time is running out for you and your baby which the Fates have decreed will bring about end of the Olympian order." "That I cannot allow!" "Take them." "Go!" "Run, Solon!" "Tear the underworld apart if you have to, but find them!" "How much do you understand about where we're going?" "I know my grandfather, Cronos, is buried there." "And what do you know about him?" "Zeus killed him." "But do you know how?" "He never told me, but I've heard the stories." "Well, what I'm about to tell you has never fallen upon mortal ears." "In order to let sunlight into the world Cronos removed one of his ribs and crafted it into a dagger." "With it, he pierced the blackness and light spilled from the heavens like blood." "And Zeus used it to kill him." "Then he destroyed it." "If I can find Cronos' remains, I can get another rib." "Which is why we must trust each other." "No one with mortal blood can find these bones." "You need me to lead you there." "And why would you wanna do that?" "I love Zeus." "Hopefully, the remains of Cronos will be enough to scare him away from Xena." "Hopefully but I still don't get it." "Why would you side with humanity?" "From the moment Zeus and I created mortals I've spent my time hating them for the infidelities he shared with them." "But once I forgave him I realized that humanity is the only creation I am truly proud of." "I never thought I'd say this." "I believe you." "But how can I be sure you aren't gonna change your mind?" "Because of a lesson I regret teaching you long ago, Hercules." "Parents... should never outlive their children." "Yeah, yeah, baby." "Yeah, go." "Was it too much to expect you to honor your commitments?" "I don't know." "Was it too much to expect you to control your wife?" "Explain yourself." "She's helping Hercules." "Or didn't you know that?" "Well, it seems to me your renewed vows aren't worth the papyrus they're printed on." "If she's helping Hercules, she could lead him t..." "No." "No, she wouldn't dare." "She's a woman!" "Whatever you're thinking, you're probably right." "Then I shall rid the world of Xena and Hercules myself." "Yeah, you go do that..., ...Dad." "Why are we stopping?" "That mortal blood really limits your vision, doesn't it?" "The dagger's inside." "It's power allows you to kill the proxidicae." "But there's something that you must know." "No, there's something you must know." "I can never forgive you for taking my family from me." "If there were anything that I could do to change that...," "...believe me, I would." "I'm not finished." "In spite of how I feel, I know that choosing to help me was a decision you made at the risk of losing your husband." "And for that, I am grateful." "Now, what did you wanna to tell me?" "Zeus knows me all too well." "Once he discovers that I'm helping you he'll anticipate us trying to get Cronos' bones." "I'm counting on it." "I thought I might find you here." "That won't be necessary." "In my brother's kingdom, I have no powers." "Oh, good." "Now I can really wipe the floor with you." "You don't wanna do that." "You're right, I'm in too much of a hurry." "Xena, I wanna protect your unborn child from the other gods." "Why would you wanna do that?" "Well, I've had a falling out with Dad and as you know, I've always had a thing for you." "For me and my friend." "Look..." "Your stalking me is not helping the trust factor any." "This is not your standard god obsession, ok?" "I'm having urges that I'm not real proud of." "I'm not going to become your little warrior queen, Ares." "Besides, you expect me to believe you'd protect a child the Fates say will destroy you?" "They say it'll destroy all the gods." "Now if I'm gonna be mortal I could live out my life..." "...with you." "What are you talking about?" "I have feelings for you, ok?" "I care about you, damn it." "Oh, no." "I see your face everywhere." "Stop it!" "You stop it!" "You're so desperate... you're trying to convince me that you love me." "Well, go on, say it." "Say it." "Say you love me." "The time for you and me has been and gone." "It was worth a shot anyway." "I thought in your present condition you might be a little more gullible." "I am pregnant, not brain-damaged." "I love you, Xena." "Solon, you see that gap there?" "We've gotta get you through there somehow." "Xena..." "The proxidicae are looking all over for us." "It's good to see you." "It's good to see myself." "Mom?" "It's ok." "It's ok." "Come out, come out, wherever you are!" "Whatever we do, we better do it quick." "Xena..." "I know you want to save both your children." "But you're smart enough to recognize a lose situation when you see it." "Gabrielle..." "Give me the helmet, quick." "Gimme." "Solon..." "When I give you the word, I want you to put on the helmet and run for the gap." "When I give you the word, ok?" "Promise you won't forget me." "I cross my heart and hope to die." "(If it's a girl, it should be named Eve.)" "That's a great idea." "Ok." "Love you." "I'll always love you." "Get behind me, and wait for the word, all right?" "Are you ready for this?" "As ready as I'll ever be." "Solon, go!" "Mom, is that you?" "Solon..." "It's me, sweetheart." "When are you coming home?" "Soon, sweetheart." "I promise." "You won't even know I'm gone." "Go on now." "Gabrielle..." "Ok..." "Let's go home." "Stop!" "Ok." "Xena..." "The birth of Xena's baby approaches bringing with it the death of the gods." "What's the catch?" "The catch?" "You know, there's always a catch." "You know, in this case I..." "I grab the rib and a giant boulder comes rolling after me." "Or... maybe a fireball shoots out." "Only immortal eyes can lift the bones of a titan." "I guess you're right." "They need no other protection." "You on the other hand, will need all the protection you can get." "Well, at least it wasn't a trap." ""Well, well..." "The two of you together..." "It's not too late to change your mind." "And it's not too late to change yours." "So be it." "No matter." "My proxidicae are dealing with Xena and her little friend." "I will not be responsible for the death of another innocent child." "Go, make sure that Xena's safe." "He'll kill you if he has to." "I can handle him." "Hey!" "Xena!" "Gabrielle!" "Our eternity together... will have to be cut short, dear wife." "That is your decision." "It always has been." "You've disappointed me." "This is the first thing that I have done right... in an eternity." "And the last." "The child's time is near." "Unless Zeus prevents its arrival the greek gods are doomed." "I've gotta sit down." "Ok." "Where's Zeus?" "Zeus is my problem." "You've got enough to worry about." "Gabrielle, listen to me." "I want you to get outta here." "Get away from here." "If Zeus gets past Hercules, I don't want you getting caught in the crossfire." "Xena, I'm not going anywhere, ok?" "Quiet." "Quiet." "So... it's come to this." "This isn't gonna end well for either of us but I'm ready to live with what I have to do." "If you live." "Get it off me!" "Take it off." "It's ok." "I'm cold." "You're cold?" "No." "Take these off." "Ok, ok." "This is not about you and me." "It's about survival." "Do you remember when Ephiny had her baby?" "Remember how you helped her?" "Please, be quiet." "Ok." "Just be quiet." "Just breathe." "Give up, my son." "The child must die!" "You're doing great." "Come on." "Come on, push!" "Come on, Xena, push!" "It's coming." "No!" "It's a little girl." "You have sworn never to call me "father" again but you will always be my son." "This didn't have to happen!" "Every son... must eventually take his father's place like I did mine." "Hercules..." "You've never disappointed me especially today." "Father..." "Father!" "I'm so sorry, Hercules." "All my life, I've told people that they can live without the gods." "Now I guess we'll find out." "She's beautiful." "Thank you." "Have you thought of a name?" "Her name is Eve." "You've already named her?" "Solon did when we were in Tartarus." "We're gonna be together now, Eve." "You and me... and your brother, forever and ever." "You hear that, Solon?" "Forever." "Forever." "Subtitles: @marlonrock1986 (^^V^^)"
