Xena: Warrior Princess · Season 4, Episode 9
Are you sure I was dying? Xena, the gods know that I have been tied to a cross before. You helped me then, what makes you think that this ‘vision' is different?
It was so real ... the way you looked ... the mountain in the background ... it's true, or it could be.
Well, I'm not going to believe it.
What happened?
I just got out-smarted by my own tactics.
It's alright, he just wants out.
Soon, soon I will see my son and I can name him.
And you can take him from me. What about us?
There is very little left of 'us' anymore, Xena. The only reason our two armies haven't crossed blades is because of a common purpose.
And what would that be? It certainly isn't Corinth, you can't convince me of that. No, there's only one reason why you stayed. You want to take this away from me.
As any father would. If my son stays here he'll become a target for your enemies. He'll see things a child should not see, and ...
He'll become like me.
Oh Xena, the moment I realized you were in command I was ecstatic. Of all the people I have studied you were the most complex, the most brilliant of minds I have defeated thus far. You see, Xena, I never did have that much in the way of muscle, never. But, I am a survivor and I have this incredible ability to put myself in my enemies head. So when I found myself in your custody I realized this was my one chance to learn from the best. That's why I couldn't allow you to see Borias that night. Oh yes, the night your son was born, you had just taken the Santra flower potion and Borias' army attacked.
What's the matter, you having trouble getting inside my head right now? Let me help you. You killed Borias, the man who could have changed everything for me if only I had let him. You killed the father of my child and if he had lived then maybe my son would ... you getting inside my head now?
(re: Satrina) Do you think she made it?
Probably, like she said, she's a survivor.
