Cast of characters:  Xena, Gabrielle, Joxer, Najara, Arman, and the rest. This episode consists of three storylines.  The continuing evolution of the relationship and the different "ways" that Xena and Gabrielle are currently traveling together.  The other two storylines are between Najara who Gabrielle believes has truly changed from the teaching's of Eli and Joxer who accidentally gets his first kill and how he trying to cope with it.  I never thought I would catch myself saying this, but I have to admit that I wonder if the writers intended on both preaching and a good old fashioned "I told ya so".  I tried to give the best cross of both short memorable clips useful for desktop sounds and longer clips to give the feel and full thoughts being expressed.  Well, enough from me, I hope you enjoy this episode. 
As always, please let me know what ya think. - Sounds@Xenafan.com

  5. Arman- I don't believe you.  My father ws a hero.  He couldn't have done the things you say.  Najara- I know it's hard to hear, but it's true.  Your father had to be stopped.  Joxer didn't want ot kill him...he had to.  Arman- Joxer...killed my father?   C'mon, now I know you're lying.  Najara- Go get his pack and I'll prove it.  684kb wav or 330kb mp3

  7. Arman- You didn't kill my father...you killed a man that I din't even know, an evil stranger who died like he deserved.  My father's not dead, Joxer.   He's lived where he's always lived...right here, and that man...that man would call you a hero.  367kb wav or 154kb mp3

  11. Gabrielle- You stopped fighting?  Completely?  Najara- You think Criton could do this to me if I hadn't?  Xena- Oh Gabrielle, tell me you're not buying this?  Gabrielle- Xena...the Navitiates said that she didn't fight back.  Now would she look like this if it weren't true?  C'mon...for god sake!  This woman needs help.  Xena- And she'll get it.  I want you to go and set up camp just outside of town.   I'll go to the Apothacary, collect Joxer and I'll meet you there...after I've sent worf to the prison.  690kb wav or 326kb mp3

  13. Gabrielle- You met Eli...that's amazing.  Xena and I knew him in India...he changed my life.  Najara- I know...the same way he changed mine.  I used to justify my violence by saying it was for good.  Eli taught me that the greater good is to use no violence at all.  448kb wav or 225kb mp3
  14. Gabrielle- But if you've stopped fighting...how did you escape?  Najara- A divine decree...the Djinn move mysteriously...they prepare a way for those who believe.   So the next washing day I hid amongst the prisoner's laundry, and when they took it to the riverside...I escaped into the water.  480kb wav or 240kb mp3
  15. Gabrielle- But if you've stopped fighting...how did you escape?  Najara- A divine decree...the Djinn move mysteriously...they prepare a way for those who believe.   So...the next washing day I hid amongst the prisoner's laundry, and when they took it to the riverside...I escaped into the water.  I must have swam for miles...but I've been free ever since.  Gabrielle- And what have you been doing?   Najara- Planting crops, helping harvest, mending clothes...working towards the day the Djinn said would come.  The day you and I would meet again united in a common bond... not even Xena shares.  Gabrielle- The Djinn said that?  Najara- We walk the same path Gabrielle.   Our lives are dedicated to defeating evil by promoting peace.  It's our Way...the Way Eli taught us.  A reverance for life.  Stray from that path, whatever the reason, the consequences could be devistating for everyone.   1,653kb wav or 833kb mp3
  16. Gabrielle- I'm sorry I have to do this.  I'll try not to hurt you.  106kb wav or 50kb mp3
  17. Gabrielle- I'm sorry I have to do this.  I'll try not to hurt you.  Is that too tight?  Can you still sleep?  Najara- Like a baby.  It's ok, really, Xena is just being true to her way.  If she thinks I'm going anywhere now that I've found you and our path, she's crazy.  688kb wav or 332kb mp3
  18. Gabrielle- Najara's asleep.  Xena- Good.   Did you remember to tie her hands and her feet?  Gabrielle?  Gabrielle- Yes I did.  Xena- Good.  That little smoke compact you made is pretty effective, huh?  Gabrielle- It seems to confuse them.  Xena- Still, I don't like you being in the thick of things knowing you won't fight.  Gabrielle- Xena that's the beauty of my new techniques, I can distract them without hurting anyone.  Best of all...no killing.  Xena- Joxer's still pretty cut up about Criton, you think you can talk to him?  Gabrielle- I don't know what to say.  I keep remembering the first time that I killed.  I know it's strange, but it still hurts.  Xena- Stranger if it didn't.  Gabrielle- I'll try.  Xena...you'd never guess who's been teaching Najara the path of non-violence...Eli.  It's amazing, he's living proof that peace really works.   Are you asleep?  1,406kb wav or 626kb mp3
  19. Gabrielle- I keep remembering the first time that I killed.   I know it's strange, but it still hurts.  Xena- Stranger if it didn't.  164kb wav or 71kb mp3
  20. Gabrielle- Joxer, what you're doing...going to tell Criton's son...I think that's the bravest thing you've ever done.  Joxer- I don't feel brave.  I just feel bad.  204kb wav or 99kb mp3
  21. Gabrielle- I think that your father would want you to stay here and finish school.  Arman- Oh I will, just as soon as I've avenged him.  Xena- Wait!  Arman, as long as you're set on leaving, why don't you travel awhile with us?  454kb wav or 222kb mp3
  22. Gabrielle- Joxer, I'm just saying that he's going to find out sometime.  Joxer- Well fine, but why does it have to be me?   Look, give me one good reason to tell him why his father is a murderer and would have killed me if I hadn't of stopped him?  Xena- Because it's the truth.  Joxer- Well, it would really hurt him.  Gabrielle- It would give him a chance to deal with it in an honest way.  Joxer- It would break his heart.  Xena- She's just suggesting that you do what you said you wanted.  Joxer- I'm not gonna tell him that his father was a murderer.  Every boy needs a hero.  Xena- Then be one.  Joxer- Ok I already killed Criton once, if you guys want to do it again that's fine with me.  837kb wav or 345kb mp3
  23. Gabrielle- This may hurt a bit.  It's important if you want the wounds to heal, you have to keep them clean.  Do you want me to stop?  Najara- No...it's not just that, it's what you said about healing wounds.  When I think about some of the wounds I've caused...mortal wounds that...that will never be healed.  I feel so ashamed.  Gabrielle- I'm sure that's hard, but Najara you've turned your life around.  Take strength from that.  Najara- The Djinn say the same thing.  Gabrielle- Listen to them.  817kb wav or 392kb mp3
  24. Gabrielle- Starting a hospice would be good for you, but it's not for me.  My place is with Xena.  Najara- I know...and it always will be.  Until her continuing violence makes her do something that even you can't excuse.  Gabrielle- It's not going to happen.  Najara- It has to and then you will have to choose, not between me and Xena, but between Xena and your own soul.  543kb wav or 264kb mp3
  25. Gabrielle- Isn't it better to have peaceful people around who do good than people who fight?  104kb wav or 48kb mp3
  26. Gabrielle- I know there's no excuse for what Najara did...  Xena- Sure there is...she's a nut.   Gabrielle- That was before she met Eli...he showed her the truth.  All she wants to do is heal people, ya know...give them hope.  Xena- Are you saying that we shouldn't take Najara back to prison?  Gabrielle- I just don't see the point if she's already reformed.  Isn't it better to have peaceful people around who do good than people who fight?  Xena- Like me?  Gabrielle- No, I'm not saying that.  Xena, you're trying to find you true Way, your path...well so is Najara.  Xena- Najara doesn't have a path...she follows whatever path her voices tell her to.  You don't believe me...test her.  Say no to her...she'll blow up in your face.  Gabrielle- You have hardly spoken to her...  Xena- I don't have to!  I'm sure that she says all the right things and I'm sure she probably even believes them, but she's a fanatic, Gabrielle...don't trust her.  1,197kb wav or 558kb mp3
  27. Gabrielle- I know there's no excuse for what Najara did...  Xena- Sure there is...she's a nut.  95kb wav or 44kb mp3
  28. Gabrielle- We can't leave Arman.  Xena- He left us, thanks to your little friend.  Gabrielle- Najara was only trying to help.  Xena- Yeah, I heard.  Gabrielle- Will you try to understand...you went to prisonafter you were changed.  You know what a waste that is.  Xena- That's what I'm trying to tell you...Najara hasn't changed.  Gabrielle- And how do you know that?  Xena- It's because I know her.  She's the same Zealot she always was...only now she's even more dangerous....cause she's won you over.   596kb wav or 236kb mp3
  29. Gabrielle- Xena!  Najara- Gabrielle - no!  Gabrielle- No no...she's hurt!  Najara- It's her Way...let her walk it alone.  154kb wav or 75kb mp3
  30. Gabrielle- Do you think she'll ever wake up?  Xena- Who knows...maybe her voice will call her back, huh?  In the meantime, the sisters will keep her comfortable as long as she lives.  Gabrielle- I really thought she had changed.  You did.  Xena- So did you.  394kb wav or 191kb mp3
  31. Gabrielle- Seems that when push comes to shove, the only choice is to shove back.  85kb wav or 42kb mp3
  32. Joxer- What are we gonna do?  Xena- Get her healthy, then take her back to jail.  Joxer- What about him?  Xena- We'll take him back to the village.  They can deal with it.  291kb wav or 124kb mp3
  33. Joxer- I'm gonna tell him.  Xena- Tell who...what?  Joxer- Criton's son.  I'm gonna go to him.  I gonna explain things, I gonna explain everything.  Xena- Joxer, that is a really, really  nobel idea it is.  But the chances of Criton's son understanding about you killing his father are slim to none.  Guess I could come along as back up though. Joxer- No! No! I'll do it myself.   You know what Xena, you're always in everybodies business and this time I'm gonna tell him by myself.  Promise?  Xena- I promise.  757kb wav or 363kb mp3

  35. Joxer- Yeah.  Criton's Ghost- What's with the long face?  You did it...scored your first kill.  Joxer- Go away.  Criton's Ghost- Aw, c'mon...so what if you made some kid an orphan.  I've done it hundreds of times, it's no biggie.  Joxer- You're the murderer.  Criton's Ghost- So are you.  Keep it up...soon you'll be as bad as me.  'Cause underneath it all, we're just the same you and me.  Two bad-ass, butt-kickin', slaughter-happy...  Joxer- SHUT UP!!  SHUT UP!!  Shut up!  ...Go away.  Xena- You talkin' to me?    951kb wav or 434kb mp3
  36. Joxer- SHUT UP!!  9kb wav or 6kb mp3
  37. Joxer- Go Away.  Xena- You talkin' to me?  Joxer- Xena...  Xena- Or are you just beating yourself up over Criton?  Hmm?  Joxer the guilt of killing never goes away, nor should it, but your first kill is definitely the worst.   Joxer- How do you live with it?  Xena- I don't have a choice...and now neither do you.  But doing what you're doing... going and seeing Criton's son, explaining things...that's gotta help.  805kb wav or 395kb mp3
  38. Joxer- Arman...  Arman- Hey.   Joxer- um...I, um...a...I...a...wanted to tell you...thank you for a...saving me from that...kid.  And a...I also want to tell you...(flashback) tell you...that, um...I...that...you're a, a hero for doing it, so...thanks.  Arman- Joxer wait...I know what you did back there, Xena told me...  Joxer- She told you?   Arman- She said it was all your idea coming to me about my father and all, instead of letting me hear it, who knows how...so I'd say we're even wouldn't you? Joxer- Yes...we're even.  1,252kb wav or 598kb mp3
  39. Joxer- I hate this...  Gabrielle- I've cooked better.  Xena- You said it.  136kb wav or 66kb mp3
  40. Joxer- It's a lie...you know my whole life.  I'm not a warrior.  What kind of warrior kills somebody, then has nightmares about it every night.  Xena- You're not alone in feeling guilty, Joxer, it's only natural.  Joxer- That's it though...that's my point it's not natural.  I killed somebody, so you know what that makes me?  Arman- I do...It makes you the first man that I'm gonna kill.  597kb wav or 286kb mp3
  41. Joxer- Well, um...even moron's get lucky sometimes.  61kb wav or 29kb mp3
  42. Joxer- Why Najara, why did you tell him?  Najara- Because Gabrielle's right...and everyone deserves to know the truth about someone they love.  195kb wav or 92kb mp3
  43. Mayor- Word is...someone around here killed the warlord, Criton.   Joxer- I did.  93kb wav or 43kb mp3

  45. Mayor- ...Then there was the time when Criton fed a man's heart to his dogs...while it was still beating.  Yes sir, it takes a real man to stand up to Criton.  Not to mention the rest of his gang when they get word that he's dead.   Xena- You saying they'll take revenge?  Mayor- You let a man brand you, it figures you're not going to take his death lying down.   If the rumors are true they won't be the only ones.  Xena- Alright, I'll bite...what rumors?  Mayor- About his kid.   Joxer- What kid?  Mayor- Criton's...Word is, when his wife died in childbirth, he had the boy shipped out to the academy.  At least that's the story.  Joxer- Criton has a son?  Xena- Ok, Joxer...the sooner we get outta here, the sooner you'll sleep. Now let's go.  Joxer- You're right.  1,280kb wav or 636kb mp3

  47. Najara- Truth is...the Djinn stopped talking to me right you and Xena left.  It wasn't until I stopped fighting that they returned.  That's how I knew it was right.  Gabrielle- And what made you stop?  Najara- A while ago...a man came to our prison, he had just returned from India.   And he spoke of a way of life that seemed so right to me...a way of peace...a way to break what he called...  Gabrielle- The cycle of violence.   You met Eli.  That's amazing...Xena and I knew him in India.  273kb wav or 442kb mp3
  48. Najara- I used to justify my violence by saying it was for good.   Eli taught me that the greater good is to use no violence at all.  From that day on, I vowed to stop fighting and never to lift a sword again.  323kb wav or 161kb mp3
  49. Najara- You're awfully quiet Xena, but then you never were one for wasting words.  Xena- Nothing's changed.  Najara- You mean me..is that it?  You're wrong.  Xena- New outfit, new religion, same wacko underneath.  289kb wav or 130kb mp3
  50. Najara- You claimed to have changed...why can't I?  Afterall, we both had the same inspiration, Gabrielle.  Xena- Ugh.  Najara- But unlike you I've changed my whole life for her, you just changed sides.  Xena- You hurt Gabrielle, and I'll change you in ways that are anything but peaceful.   Najara- You forget...hurting Gabrielle is your job.  Or have those visions gone away?  You know, the visions of your death and hers?  I want to share a life of peace with Gabrielle, you want to share a violent death.  You tell me who is the villain here...me or you?  709kb wav or 306kb mp3
  51. Najara- Don't you hear them?  Shhh, the Djinn.  Shhh!   Yes...I understand.  You heard them!  Gabrielle- No!   Najara- Don't say that!  The Djinn get mad when you say that.  Tell me you heard them!  606kb wav or 295kb mp3
  52. Navitiate- You saved us...he was a monster!  Thank you!   Bless you!  86kb wav or 46kb mp3
  53. Navitiate- That woman risked her life trying to free us.   When Criton caught and beat her, she never even raised a hand against him.   She's not a criminal...she's a saint.  Xena- Then maybe you and your friends would help us rig a litter for your saint.  A few good size branches outta do it.  345kb wav or 150kb mp3

  63. Xena- Going someplace?  Arman- Anyplace you're not.  Xena- Well that's your choice, but before you make it you might want to ask yourself who it was that Joxer really killed?  Arman- Easy...my father.  Xena- That's one point of view...there's always another Arman.  In your dreams your father was Criton the courageous, but the man that Joxer killed was dirt.  Arman, you don't need that dream anymore, you're one hundred times the man your father ever was.  605kb wav or 280kb mp3

  65. Xena- We've changed in ways I'd have never known without you.   Gabrielle- Thanks.  It's funny, it seems that when push comes to shove, sometimes the only choice is to shove back.  But with the this path that I'm on, i can't do that.  Xena- With me around you won't have to.  391kb wav or 188kb mp3
