“And hope was lost. And that’s when Meleager appeared,
and X:
“Single-handedly hauls a war-wagon full of Spartan javelins G:
“It’s not as if I’m making it up. He is a hero in
the X: “Oh, it doesn’t me.” G:
“Well, you should hear me tell stories about you. Then I Man: “Sorry, I can’t talk. I gotta get to court.” X: “Let’s try in there.” G:
“A tavern? Xena, that is the last place we would find X:
“Yes, but he conquered it just in time to save your G: “Yes, he did. And think about how much strength that took.” X:
“It’s a hard habit to break. I’ve seen men ruined
by G:
“Well, I don’t like to mention that part. It’s kind
of Man’s voice: “Meleager, huh?” X: “Excuse me, we’re looking for a friend.” Assassin/aka Ass: “Meleager’s your friend?” G:
“He must be your friend, too. I’m sure you make toasts
to Ass: “Toast this!” G: “Wait! Wait! I said we’re _friends_ of Meleager!” X:
“I think they’ve got that, Gabrielle! [They fight] Nice Ass: “If you’re here because of Meleager, you’re too late!” X: “Late?” X: “Late for what?” ---------------------------------------------------------------- X: “Why do I get the feeling that’s Meleager?” Mel:
“Gabrielle, I knew you’d come-- Of course, I could’ve
used G:
“Wait a minute. This is a terrible misunderstanding-- Sir? Arbus: “The name is Arbus, Judge Arbus.” X:
“Arbus? I’ve heard of you. You’re known as a just
and fair Arbus:
“Thank you-- And who are you to the prisoner, young G: “A friend-- Whatever he did, I’m sure he didn’t do it.” Mel: “Mmmm.” G:
“Consider this! When we doubt that heroes exist in this Mel:
“Actually, it was, uh, Ligurias that had the 100, all in G:
“The point being that this is a very good man-- and a hero. Arbus:
“A very moving testament, young lady. But I cannot ---------------------------------------------------------------- [ACT I] First man’s voice: “Check the gates.” Second man’s voice: “... the noose.” Third man’s voice: “Secure the roap!” ---------------------------------------------------------------- G:
“It couldn’t have been a fair trial. If there had been
any Mel:
“There’s only one real discussion-- Whether to hang me, G: “Don’t even think it. You’re innocent, right?” Mel: “Of course I’m innocent, Gabrielle.” G: “This trial was fixed. You heard him; he’s innocent.” Mel: “Apparently, your friend doesn’t know me at all.” X:
“No, but I know Gabrielle. And even judges make mistakes. Mel:
“Some guy I never even met before, by the name of Kalaman. G:
“This Arbus sounds like the ‘hang him first, ask questions X:
“Not from what I’ve heard. Arbus tried Volkur the Vicious. G:
“Maybe-- You know how things get distorted, blown out of X: “I’ll go talk to Arbus.” Mel: “Yeah, you do that.” X: “So, what have you been doing with yourself?” Mel:
“Oh, this and that-- Saving villages; defending the ---------------------------------------------------------------- Salesman:
“Meleager’s murder weapon-- right here! An actual X: “I’m not a little lady.” Salesman:
“Oh, point taken, point taken. But these, um, these, Rena: “Hey, move it down!” Man: “Hey!” Rena:
“I’m not missing this. A lovely day for an execution, Man:
“If you wanted a front-row seat, you should’ve gotten
here Rena: “Oh, yeah?” Man: “Yeah!” Rena:
“The execution of Meleager is for everyone, not just you Arbus: “Quiet!” Man: “We’ve been waiting--!” Arbus:
“I said, ‘Quiet!’ Now, listen to me, and listen
good. X: “Some people have some pretty sick ideas of entertainment.” Arbus:
“Sadly, that can’t be helped. It has nothing to do with X:
“I missed the trial, but I have heard of Meleager’s Arbus:
“You know _my_ reputation as well, then. Just as I know X: “I guess formal introductions are out.” Arbus:
“I’d heard you’d changed your ways, looking to amend X:
“Which brings us back to Meleager-- A man with no past Arbus:
“One is all it takes. Believe me, the eye-witness X: “Someone saw him do it?” Arbus: “Rena, come here. Tell her what you saw that night.” Rena:
“Well, it was late. Our mare was near giving birth, dear [FLASHBACK] ---------------------------------------------------------------- Rena:
“I saw it in his hand-- It was covered in blood. I’m Arbus:
“You told the truth , Rena. You can be proud-- Go now. X: “Yes, it can.” G:
“Xena, I know what we have to do. Now, Meleager was camping X: “Meleager’s eye-witness is a Cyclops?” G” “He’s not a Cyclops; he’s just a one-eyed guy. It can’t-” X: “Sounds like a wild goose chase.” G: “What?” X:
“Maybe you should think about spending the time between now G: “You think he’s guilty?” X:
“I don’t think he’s being completely honest with
you. ---------------------------------------------------------------- G: “Hello, it’s me again.” Sold: “What’s in the cart? Your Warrior Princess friend?” G: “This is Meleager’s last meal. Do you think it’s enough?” Mel:
“Oh, Mmmm! Smells like I’ve died and gone to Elysia Sold:
“Wait! Boys, it’s our job to sample everything. Mel: “You brought me wine?” G: “I had a feeling it would never touch those lips.” Sold: “What goes with lamb? White or red?” [Laughs] Mel:
“It’s bad enough that I’m gonna die, but my last
meal’s G: “Just hang in there-- Oh, sorry.” ---------------------------------------------------------------- G:
“A little [?word] kabob, chicken schwarma, in just the right Mel: “Puts ‘em out every time.” G: “Go! You find that one-eyed man and clear yourself.” Mel:
“Gabrielle, you’re gonna have to leave town. These guys G: “Don’t worry about me-- Go!” ---------------------------------------------------------------- Voice of G: “Let me go!” ---------------------------------------------------------------- G: “Let me go! Get your hands off me!” [Xena whistles] G: “Quit pulling me!” X: “Let her go! Get back! Get back!” Arbus: “Enough! Enough!” There will be no lynching here!” G:
“Meleager is innocent! He’s gone to find someone who’ll Arbus:
“He had every chance to prove it, young lady! Now, I X: “I’ll bring him back.” G: “No, Xena!” X: “But, she comes with me!” Ass: “She let him go!” Arbus:
“Very well! I’ll trust you, Xena. But even I can’t X: “Go! Go!” ---------------------------------------------------------------- X:
“He’s headed north-- that makes sense. The Gauls won’t
care G:
“Xena, you’ve got to give him a chance. Please, I’m
begging X:
“Don’t make this more difficult than it already is. I
don’t G: “He is an innocent man.” X:
“You don’t know that! I do have some questions I wanna
ask G:
“Neither will his hanging.” G:
“Meleager, run! Into the woods! Hurry! No! You’re gonna ---------------------------------------------------------------- X: “Don’t do this, Gabrielle.” G:
“Let’s just walk away. We never even came to this part
of X: “If Meleager is guilty, and I let him escape justice--” G: “He is not guilty!” ---------------------------------------------------------------- G: “Meleager!” X: “Give it up, Meleager!” G: “Xena! No! Run, Meleager! Run!” X: “I’m closing in on you, Meleager!” Mel:
“I’ll not use a sword on you, Xena. But I can’t
let you X: “Well, I can’t let you get away.” G: “Xena!” [Meleager and Xena fight] G:
“Xena!” X: “Oh, I have experience, too.” G: “Xena!” Mel: “I’m not going back.” X:
“Well, if not, it’s Gabrielle who’ll pay. Arbus
will hound G: “No! I won’t let you do this.” Mel: “Gabrielle.” G: “She’s not taking you anywhere.” Mel: “Gabrielle, listen.” G: “If I have to go in your place, I will.” Mel:
“Gabrielle, stop! Stop it! There _is_ no one-eyed man. G: “Drunk?” Mel:
“He must have thought I was trying to rob him. X: “It’s late. We’ll camp here and head back in the morning.” Mel:
“I didn’t want you to know I started drinking again. I ---------------------------------------------------------------- Mel: “Xena, you tell Gabrielle I’m sorry.” X: “You should tell her yourself.” Mel:
“I tried, but she never wants to hear from me again. I X:
“Which lie? The one about the drinking, or the one about Mel:

“No, I haven’t touched a drop since that night. No, to ---------------------------------------------------------------- X: “Argo’s fed, watered, and so brushed she shines.” G: “I’m keeping busy.” X:
“Keeping away from Meleager, you mean. He needs a friend G:
“Friends don’t lie. You were right; he wasn’t being
honest. X:
“That’s not an issue. You and I have plenty of time to
talk G: “I put people on a pedestal?” X:
“Meleager’s made his mistakes-- drunk and sober. Tomorrow ---------------------------------------------------------------- X:
“Meleager, when you saw Kalaman get off his horse, did he Mel:
“Yeah, I guess so, I don’t know. It’s hard to remember. G: “But, she didn’t actually see you kill Kalaman.” Mel:
“The bloody sword was in my hand, so, I would say that X:
“Well, someone told me it was never found; what happened to Mel:
“Next morning, I woke up in a cave with it beside me. I X: “Kalaman was a big man, burly-- Butt-ugly in a good light?” Mel: “Yeah, you knew the guy? Whoa! Nice catch!” X: “Gabrielle, get down!” Mel: “Second round!” X: “Meleager, don’t move! You dropped these!” Man: “Let me go! I’m supposed to bring Meleager in!” G: “Dead or alive?” Mel:
“More dead than alive, apparently? Long arm of the law, I Man:
“An execution’s an execution, whether it takes place here X:
“You tell Arbus that I said _I_ would bring Meleager in. Mel:
“Excuse me if I have mixed feelings at the moment, but, X: “I’m not taking you back-- not yet.” G: “Where are we going?” X: “Meleager’s cave.” G: “Why?” X: “I wanna see that sword.” ---------------------------------------------------------------- Mel: “There it is-- right where I left it.” G:
“Xena, if you bring it back, it’ll be more evidence against X:
