Xena, I don't know if I wanna help her, or…
She killed Joxer.
And she's lost… just as I was.
But I got lucky… 'cause I found you.
Now, I have to try to help her find her way.
Gabrielle, I understand if you can't go through.
Xena…
Let's save your daughter.
-Come on now! -Back off!
I'm the one figured out that Livia was Eve.
You should have told us immediately.
The prophecy says she'll bring about the end of the gods.
She probably developed enough power to kill…
…all of us!
I guarantee the only thing this girs has developed…
…is inferiority complex.
He's right. I hear she's a babbling idiot.
I say we move on her right away.
What's the challenge?
Xena… is the challenge, Discord.
If we wish to kill Eve, we have to go through Xena.
And as a mother, she'll be more dangerous than ever.
So what exactly is the plan?
Furies!
Yeah.
I gave the furies a shot at Xena. It didn't work out.
I know. My plan is a bit more subtle.
Can we leave the bard out of this?
Do you have a soft spot for Gabrielle?
She's my friend.
Well, then don't watch.
Death! To the monster Livia!
Come on!
Eve!
Eve…
Come on.
Give me that.
You should have let them kill me!
Never. Hear me? Never.
Gabrielle, bring be some water. Quick.
Ok, try to drink.
Xena, Eve will only break your heart.
There'll be no peace for you until she's dead.
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, THE WARRIOR PRINCESS
♪ Xena Warrior Princess ♪ 5x22 - Motherhood
She killed Joxer.
Who will her next victim be?
We've gotta get her to shelter.
Gabrielle?
She killed Joxer. Who will her next victim be?
Xena? Of course.
Xena?
Excuse me, did you call that woman "Xena"?
-Yes. -Oh… Well…
Our scriptures tell us that our founder knew a woman called Xena.
We call her the defender of the faith, but, well, it couldn't be the same woman.
-The founder? Do you mean Eli? -Yes.
This is the defender of your faith.
Give me a hand to get her on the horse.
Come on.
It would be a great honor if you would all take shelter in my home.
Thank you.
Come on.
Is it true that he could breathe fire?
No.
No…
He was a man, made of flesh and blood, like you.
That's why his mission was so important.
You see, Jeb? Now, I want you to take that fire-breathing stuff out of your scroll.
Tell us some more, please.
He…
He gave us all hope… that every living thing…
-…could be saved by love. -He was wrong.
How can I be saved? The things I've done…
Eve, maybe you should listen to what they have to say about Eli.
Eli teaches that… even if you've done something really bad…
…you can find comfort and love.
I wiped out entire villages because they wouldn't pay me tribute.
I've drunk the blood of men that I tortured to death.
-I killed her best friend! -Stop.
Stop it.
She's gloating about killing Joxer.
I shouldn't leave her alone with Xena.
Who knows what she's capable of…
Eli used to initiate sinners into his way of love…
-…with some sort of ceremony. -Yes. Yes.
There's a man that continues that tradition. We call him "The Baptist".
Where can we find him?
Here…
-Do you admit your trespasses? -Yes.
I now cleanse your body with these sweet waters…
…and initiate you… to the way of love.
What are you looking at?
Suffering. Horrible suffering.
I should die for my deeds.
You're right.
You must die to the things of the flesh…
…and be reborn…
…to the way of love.
If that's the way it must be… then I'm ready.
Look at Xena!
She's just setting herself up to be hurt again.
You know there's no reforming Eve.
She's just setting herself up to be hurt again.
Eve…
No, no, no, no, no!
Xena!
So… you can kill gods.
How does it feel to smell your own mortality?
You know, there's nothing more pathetic than a dead god.
So do yourselves a favor, don't follow us.
You fools!
If you'd waited for the Furies to do their work…
…we could have gotten through this without losing anyone!
You know, I'm just guessing…
…but I'm thinking Xena's gonna be pretty tough to kill.
We don't have to.
Her daughter must somehow give her that power.
It's Eve who has to die.
And the Furies are still our best chance!
So, what we need is a distraction.
Oh… Pick me.
Xena, you can kill gods! How is that possible?
While Eve was being initiated, I was visited by a spirit.
He said that Eve's cleansing… gave me the power to kill gods.
What do you mean? What kind of spirit?
-It was sent by the archangel Michael. -Michael?
He said that Eve would prepare the way for the rule of the god of love.
And you're to protect her?
I was chosen as the mother of the messenger.
As long as Eve lives, I have the power to kill gods.
What's happened to me is all so confusing.
When I was being initiated… I felt one load being lifted…
…only to be replaced by another just as frightening.
Where should I begin?
By facing someone you've wronged.
Xena…
Gabrielle…
No.
Let me cut her throat.
Put it down, Virgil.
Put it down.
I don't expect you to forgive me.
Good.
Because that's not happening.
If my death could bring your father back, I'd accept it joyfully.
You know…
In my entire life I never saw my father be cruel to a man,…
…woman, child, nor beast.
He brought joy to everybody who knew him.
And you…
…you killed him.
That kind of reaction comes with the territory.
Where are you going?
My mother was mad with grief.
She took my brothers and sisters to Athens to stay with some relatives.
I'm going to catch up with them.
I'm sorry, Virgil.
Thank you.
You preserved Xena for all the ages in these scrolls, Gabrielle.
Thank you.
Watch the back.
Ares?!
Damn!
Materializing is not like it is in the brochure.
Hi.
Joxer?
-You're… -Oh, yeah.
I'm dead.
I miss you, Joxer.
Then you shouldn't 'a let Eve kill me.
Joxer, I didn't let Eve kill you.
Kill her, Gabrielle.
Kill her before she kills somebody else.
Good point.
Hello, Mother.
Hope?
Xena's making a terrible mistake…
…trying to save Eve.
The same mistake you made…
…when you didn't kill me when you had the chance.
Hello, Xena.
Only you can stop the cycle of violence.
Eve must die.
Xena won't kill her own daughter.
You know how hard that is.
Be brave, Mother.
For Xena.
You can do it, Mother.
You must do it.
You're not gonna kill me, are you?
Why ever not?
Because I love you.
Yeah.
I love you.
You can do it. You can do it, Mother.
You have to do it.
You must… do it.
Do it, Mother. Kill her.
Do it! Do it for Xena! I know you can.
This is the decision Xena can't make!
Kill her!
Eve…
Eve!
No!
Eve?
Good girl. You hang in there. You're gonna be fine.
Ga… Gab…
Furies…
Gabrielle… Stay with me, ok?
Stay with me.
How's Gabrielle?
Not good.
You taught her…
You taught her pretty well.
All you had to do was distract her.
How was she able to stop Gabrielle?
How does Xena do anything? She just does.
All right, now we have no choice.
We launch a full-scale attack.
There's no need for you to be hurt as well, Xena.
Give us your daughter.
It's true you can kill gods, but at 4-to-1…
-…it's not great odds. -Not for you.
No! I just wanna help!
Quick.
Come on! You gotta get out!
Ok.
All right?
How did you think it would end?
Come on.
Go!
Go! Go!
-No! -Aphrodite?!
Aphrodite?!
Take care of her!
Neither of you is going to leave me. Gabrielle…
You're the most pure thing in my life.
And you're my great hope.
So, I'm not gonna let either of you go!
So sad.
Well, if you care so much, why don't you cure her?
Gods can only heal with Athena's blessing.
That's not gonna happen.
-Then take us to Olympus. -Why?
I want to offer them a deal.
And you'll kill them if they don't accept?
Please!
Gabrielle doesn't have much time.
All right!
I'll take you to Olympus!
Where are they?
They're probably in the main hall, which is right through there.
Aphrodite, you might wanna take off. Things could get ugly.
Goodbye, little one.
Thank you.
-Here we go. -Mother?
-What is it, Eve? -Nothing.
I just wanted to say it. I've never called anybody Mother before.
I just wish I had 'a seen you grow up.
I bet you were a beautiful little girl.
I was.
I liked spiders.
Me too.
Ok… Let's get you two outta here.
Quite a load you got there. Just take it easy.
I'm here to make you an offer.
Like she'd trust anything you'd say, you lying bastard!
We'll make you a god.
What about Eve and Gabrielle?
Gabrille we can negotiate.
But Eve… She's our death warrant. She has to die.
You know… This is the second time since you became…
…Xena, slayer of gods. That we've faced off one-on-one…
…and you still haven't been able to pull the trigger.
You shot me!
I'm the god of war! Nobody shoots the god of war!
Move on!
I have a deal for you, Athena.
You heal Eve and Gabrielle, and I'll leave you alone.
Xena wants to make a deal…
I don't think that's going to be necessary.
You sure you don't wanna reconsider?
Never!
Goddess of wisdom, you got two choices.
Either you heal my friends and I leave you in peace…
…or you die now.
I will not be dictated to by a mortal!
I don't feel a thing, Xena. You've lost the power to kill gods.
It's a shame it had to come to this, Xena.
You healed them without my blessing.
That's impossible.
I gave up my immortality to save them.
Why?
I'm sorry…
…but I got a thing for her.
Thank you.
Oh… What have we got here?
Gabrielle?
-About Joxer, I… -Eve…
Joxer's at peace.
Thank you.
Looks like you got your daughter back.
No. We got our daughter back.
