Demon: "You will live all the horrors of Hell until the blood of the messenger is spilled." |
Eve: "Maybe she went upstairs."
Xena: "No, she's here someplace." … [sees the mark on the floor, reaches through and grabs Gabs' hand]
Gabrielle: "Xena! Let me out! Please get me out!"
 |
Xena: [plucks Gabrielle out of the slimy waters of Hell] … "Are you alright? … What?" |
Gabrielle: [washing her skin off in a jerry-rigged shower] … "What's causing this?"
Xena: "Mephistopheles."
Eve: "The King of Hell is down there?"
Xena: "He cursed this house long ago. For years my mother fought the evil spirits here. It drove her mad. The townspeople thought that she was a witch for Mephistopheles. They burned her at the stake."
Eve: "Oh, Mother … that's why she's not at peace. If she died un-absolved, Mephistopheles would have possession of her soul."
 |
Gabrielle: "Xena, why would he attack your family? He has an entire world he could rule." |
Gabrielle: "Those things, they said - they said that they seek the blood of the Messenger. This is Eve's battle."
Xena: "No, if he picks a battle, he's picked it with me. I won't lose my daughter like I lost my mother."
[While walking though the house, a scene from the past is played out before Xena.]
Young Xena: "Lyceus …"
Xena: "My brother …"
Cyrene: "Lyceus!"
Young Xena: "I did all I could."
 |
Cyrene: "Oh, yes, you did all you could. You raised the army. You talked him into fighting. These … these may as well be wounds from your sword! … [slaps her daughter across the face] … He was the only thing I had left … and you took him from me. Lyceus …" |
[Blood begins to seep up from the floor]
 |
Eve: "In the name of Eli … and all the powers of Heaven … I command this evil presence to be cast out … [as the blood begins to flow more freely, poor Gabs suffers from a slight case of demonic possession] … In the name of Eli and all the powers of Heaven, I command this evil presence to be cast out." |
 |
Xena: "Gabrielle?" … [A very naked (and possessed) Gabrielle swoops down from the rafters and attacks an unsuspecting Xena. In the middle of the fray, Xena is able to both clothe and bind Gabrielle with some rags that happen to be lying around. Damn, she's good.] |
Eve: "In the name of Eli and all the powers of Heaven, I command this evil presence to be cast out!" … [the blood disappears with her touch]
 |
Xena: "Gabrielle!" |
Eve: [staring at hands in amazement] … "Mother! Gabrielle!"
Xena: "Mephistopheles, why are you doing this to my family?"
Demon Gab: "I seek the Messenger of Eli … your daughter."
Xena: "What do you want with her?"
Eve: "He knows I can do this … In the name of Eli and all the powers of Heaven, I command this evil presence to be cast out!"
Xena: "Why have you come here?"
Demon Gab: "You killed the Olympian gods, Xena! The time has come for my reign to begin. I shall inherit the earth! When your blood is spilled, Eve … I'll be made flesh."
Xena: "That will never happen Mephistopheles."
Demon Gab: "Your mother cried out for you, Xena … even at the end."
Cyrene: "I beg you … no! It isn't. I swear to you!"
Villagers: "You'll pay for what you've done! … Burn her! … Burn the witch!"
Cyrene: "Xenaaaaa!"
 |
Demon Gab: "I'll help eat her soul, Xena. She'll spend eternity reliving only agony you put into her life … unless you spill your daughter's blood and bring me into the world." |
