[TEASER]

[Flashback]

[Fight]

Men's Voices [Yells]: "No-o-o-o-o-o!" "Kill them all!"

Man: "Retreat!"

X: "Hold your ground! We've _never_ retreated!"

Man: "We've never fought the Horde before! They'll kill us
all!"

X: "Not you, they won't. Retre-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-eat!"

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------

[The Present]

G's Voice: "That was a lifetime ago."

X: "It feels like just yesterday. I lost over half my men to
those-- . There's a northern route. It'll take us around all of
this."

G: "Xena-- you're not the same person that you were then. Now,
you know more about yourself, now. You know about the Horde."

X: "I know they have a code of combat, and I know one word--
`Kaltaka', but do I understand them? Come on. They'll be around
us by dark. They'll never know we were here. Come on."

G: "Xena, look. Have you ever seen a blonde Horde girl?"

X: "She looks familiar. I don't know from where but-- . Stop!
They'll kill you!"

[Fight]

Horde: "P'lee!"

Milo: "Rah-h-h-h-h!"

X: "Ah-h-h!"

Milo: "One more pelt-- one less Horde."

X: "It's a lovely day for scalping."

Milo: "What are you doing? They're Horde! You let `em get
away."

X: "They're just kids out hunting for food."

Milo: "And when they're grown-- they'll hunt _us_. I'll get ten
dinars apiece for those scalps as souvenirs. So you owe me
thirty dinars-- not counting Gramps, there."

G: "Xena, look at this."

Milo: "Xena? _The_ Xena, destroyer of nations?"

X: "Ancient history, pal."

Milo: "The name's Milo-- and I'm a history buff, too-- enough to
know that it tends to repeat itself. You ever notice?"

G: "Look at this. It's a Roman design. They must have picked
it up in battle."

X: "They never got this in battle. They got it from me."

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------

[ACT I]

X: "I don't hold out much hope that they're alive. The Horde
don't leave survivors-- but Raul was one of my best men. And his
wife, Aja, was a gifted healer. I feel I owe it to them to check
this out."

G: "Imagine if it's true. That poor girl being taken from her
family."

Milo: "I told you we should have killed them. They creamed you
last time. But you and me working together-- we could really put
a hurt on those Horde-- not to mention putting some coin in our
pockets."

X: "You're a mercenary little bastard, Milo."

Milo: "Oh, you said it yourself years ago-- the only good Horde
is a _dead_ Horde. Words to live by."

X: "Words to die by. Just ask my men-- the few that survived.
Get out of the way."

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------

X: "This is the place."

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------

X: "Raul!"

Raul: "Xena."

X: "Raul-- Aja-- this is my friend, Gabrielle."

G: "Pleased to meet you."

Aja: "He's done with fighting, Xena. Tell her, Raul."

Raul: "She's right. I've quit."

X: "Good. That's good. But it's not why we're here. Let's
talk inside."

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------

X: "We ran into some of the Horde down by the river today. We
found this."

Aja: "It was Vanessa's-- the one you gave her before you left."

Raul: "The Horde-- took her six years ago. One moment, she was
outside, playing-- and the next-- . I searched-- till I found
her tattered clothes, torn and burned. That's when I knew-- they
killed her-- murdered my little girl in cold blood."

G: "She's alive."

Raul: "What?"

X: "There was a blonde, blue-eyed girl with the Horde. I knew
there was something familiar about her, but-- with the sling,
it-- "

G: "It's gotta be Vanessa."

X: "Raul-- you said yourself you'd given up fighting. You go
out there now, and they will cut you into little pieces."

Raul: "She's my daughter. You expect me to just leave her with
them?"

G: "No. No, of course not. We can bring her home."

Aja: "Will you? Please? She's all we ever had. Will you bring
her back to us, please?"

G: "Yes, of course. Look, don't worry. I know that a child
needs her mother, and her father. Right, Xena?"

X: "Right."

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------

Man's Voice: "I suppose you were right."

Milo: "Word has it you're hunting Horde."

X: "Word has it wrong."

Milo: "Oh, come on. Let me in on this. I could be very
useful."

G: "We're not hunting Horde. We're trying to take a girl back
to her family."

Milo: "Fine. If that's the party line, I'll spout it. Just let
me come, huh?"

X: "Get lost, Milo."

Milo: "Your loss. But when you're trackin' `em and they
suddenly vanish-- don't come beggin' me to find `em for ya."

X: "It's a deal. Now, beat it."

G: "Can you believe him?"

X: "Gabrielle, I _was_ him. If it wasn't for you and one word--
I'd be there, now."

G: "`Kaltaka.'"

X: "You trust your heart, and-and-- I respect that, but-- taking
Vanessa could stir up a whole lotta trouble."

G: "They took her first. We're just bringing her home, Xena. I
mean, doesn't she deserve to be with the people that she loves,
the people that love her?"

X: "I guess every child deserves that."

G: "Well, then, the sooner we bring her back, the better."

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------

G: "So, that's how they disappear."

X: "Underground. Terrific."

G: "Problem?"

X: "No, piece of cake."

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------

Horde: "Kaltaka. Kaltaka."

A Horde: "Kaltaka. Dovi, dovi. Kaltaka."

X-in-Disguise: "Kaltaka."

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------

X: "Don't be afraid, Vanessa. I've come to get you outta here."

Vanessa [Van]: [Screams]

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------

[ACT II]

Van: [Screams]

A Horde: "P'lee! P'lee!"

X: "It'll wear off. Get going. Go!"

Hordesman: "P'lee!"

X: "I hate small spaces. No. Forward. Get going!"

Hordesman: "P'lee!"

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------

G: "I thought you were coming out of the tunnel."

X: "Yeah, well she panicked-- didn't know me-- started
screaming."

G: "You pinched her voice?"

X: "It'll come back. The Horde's right behind us. Get her back
across the river. I'll lay a false trail and meet you there."

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------

Hordesman: "P'lee! Kasu!"

Hordes' Voices: "P'lee!" "P'lee!"

Cirvik [Cir]: "Ah-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h! Ah-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h!"

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------

G: "Are you OK? Are-are you sick? Vanessa? O-O-- K-- keep
trying. Xena said it was temporary."

Van: "P-P'lee."

G: "P-P'lee? Uh-- I don't know that word. I know, um--
`Kaltaka'. Water, right? Kaltaka. OK. We can do this. Um--
watch. I'm Gabrielle. You're Vanessa."

Van: "My-- name-- P'lee."

G: "You can talk. You can speak our language. Wait till your
mother and father hear this."

Van: "M-my father-- Cirvik. My-- talk-- Pomira."

G: "No. We're going to take you home. The Horde will never
hurt you again."

Van: "Not-- Horde-- Pomira. W-we-- Pomira. The sky-- the--
Earth-- kaltaka-- all-- know-- Pomira, s-s-serve Pomira. And--
Pomira give-- honor."

G: "You were-- honoring the river? Kaltaka?"

Van: "Pomira honor-- life."

X: "You got a funny way 'a showing it. They killed hundreds of
us."

Van: "You killers. You-- you kill-- trees-- Earth-- all-- and--
when-- we say, `No'-- go from here-- you kill Pomira."

G: "Can I talk to you? She won't leave-- right, Vanessa? I-- I
mean, P'lee?"

Van: "W-why run? Soon-- Cirvik come. Then, _you_ run."

G [Sighs]: "Come here. Look-- Cirvik is the name-- "

X: "-- for Horde master. Vanessa wasn't a slave. She wasn't
even a servant. She's the adopted daughter of their leader."

G: "That doesn't mean it was right for him to kidnap her from
her mother."

X: "All I'm saying is they won't give her up without a fight.
And if Vanessa doesn't wanna come, then maybe we made a
complete-- "

G: "Xena-- she doesn't wanna come because she doesn't remember.
When she's in her mother's arms, she'll know that she belongs
there. Now, how can that be wrong?"

Horde's Voice: [Wails]

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------

G: "I know it's strange for you-- I mean, after all, you've been
gone for six years. It will get easier. You know? I mean, your
parents-- they're-- . What is it? Horde?"

X: "No-- much worse." [Yells]

Milo: [Moans]

X: "Get up!"

Milo: "Thought you'd like an escort into town."

X: "No, what you thought was how easy it would be to pick off
Horde on our trail."

Milo: "I love this woman. So-- this the little prodigal?"

G: "Leave her alone, Milo."

Milo: "Hey, sweet pea."

X: "Watch it, Milo."

Milo: "Welcome back to civilization."

X: "You were warned."

Milo: "Stupid savage! You should 'a left her where you found
her. More Horde than human."

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------

Townsman: "Xena's coming! Open the gates!"

G: "She's here."

X: "Vanessa, this is your mother and father."

Raul: "Vanessa? Uh!"

Van: "P'lee!"

Aja: "Raul, remember-- she's been gone a long time."

Raul: "Maybe too long."

G: "She's still your daughter. Tell him, Vanessa."

Van: "I am P'lee! Daughter of Cirvik! And he come here-- and
take me! And kill you all! Uh! Uh! Uh!"

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------

[ACT III]

Aja: "The Horde is comin'?"

G: "No-- that's not what she meant."

X: "Yes, it was. Cirvik and his men are sure to come after
her."

Milo: "Just like ya planned. We don't fight on their turf. We
bring them to ours. Brilliant strategy. What'd I tell ya? A
griffin'd shed its wings sooner `n Xena would lose her taste for
Horde blood."

G: "You're wrong. _I_ wanted to bring Vanessa home."

Raul: "The girl you brought-- is _not_ Vanessa. She's an
animal! She doesn't know us-- or want us-- not anymore."

Milo: "I say we hang the girl-- "

People: "Yeah!"

Milo: "-- as a warning to the rest of her kind-- stay out or
else!"

Aja: "No! I won't let you touch her!"

X: "Neither will I. Gabrielle-- go take her inside. We'll sort
this out."

Aja: "Come on, Vanessa. I'm gonna take ya home. Come with us.
Come on."

G: "It's all right. Come on, OK? You're safe. Come on."

X: "Pretty soon, you're gonna get all the Horde you can handle."

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------

Bearded Man: "I say we give her back to the Horde!"

Men's Voice: "Yeah!" "Give her back!"

X: "They'll just take her and attack us anyway."

Milo: "I'm still for killing her!"

Man's Voice: "Hear, hear."

Milo: "Show `em we mean business!"

X: "And I still stay no. Killing Vanessa won't stop the Horde."

Garth: "Nothing stops the Horde!"

Milo: "It's true, they're animals. All they know is killing!"

A Man: "Let's destroy the Horde."

X: "OK, settle down! Garth and Milo are right. Nothing stops
those animals but a sword."

Milo: "You're saying all-out war."

X: "I'm saying total wipeout. No prisoners-- no terms--
complete annihilation."

Milo: "Marry me."

X: "I want complete command."

Garth: "If anyone can lead us-- it's you."

X: "Then let's get started. And if this works, you'll never
fear the Horde again."

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------

G: "Raul? Look-- I-- I know th-- that this didn't turn out like
you'd 'a thought. You have to deal with Vanessa sometime."

Raul: "How? Lock her up? Cage her? No. No, that animal--
she's not Vanessa."

G: "Of course she is. Under all that paint-- she still needs
her father's love. She needs it now-- more than ever."

Raul: "You heard her. I'm not her father! She's daughter to
the Horde! The little girl I loved is gone."

G: "The little girl may be gone-- every child grows up. Look--
I'm sure that she's changed a lot, but you have to give her a
chance."

Raul: "To do what?! No, Gabrielle. We lost our daughter six
years ago. This girl-- she's a stranger-- a savage named--
P'lee. My Vanessa's gone!"

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------

Raul: "Vanessa?"

Van: "P'lee."

Aja: "She'd rather be called by her other name."

Van: "Tanabi. Uh-- tanabi. T-t-- lamb. Lamb stew. Glory,
tanabi. Glory, baka."

G: "She's honoring the lamb."

Van: "Kara?"

Aja: "The doll-- it's her name-- Kara."

Van: "Father?"

Raul: "Forgive me. I should have kept searching. I love you,
Vanessa. By the gods! I'll never let those Horde savages near
you again. I swear it."

Aja: "They're _not_ savages to her, Raul! Remember, those
people fed and clothed her for six years!"

Raul: "Those years belonged to us! They stole her childhood
from us, and I'll never forgive `em for it! Never!"

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------

G: "Garth said you wanted to see me."

X: "Yeah."

G: "What's happening?"

Milo: "History in the making-- or should I say repeating itself?
Only this time, it'll be the Horde who call a retreat-- right,
Xena?"

X: "That's right. Now, take some men and go and check the south
wall before we boil up the oil."

Milo: "She's ba-ack."

X [Softly]: "I'm back."

G: "This is my fault. If I hadn't been so blind about my
feelings towards Vanessa, then none of this would have happened."

X: "You're right."

Man's Voice: "Keep your eye on the wall!"

X: "It's because of you that we have this chance."

G: "To wage a war."

X: "To forge a peace."

G: "By fighting?"

X: "No, by using the only tool that we have to reach them--
Vanessa."

G: "What?"

X: "All of this, Gabrielle, is just so I can gain the trust of
the soldiers. Vanessa is the only one who can communicate with
both sides."

G: "Yes, she can, but what if she won't?"

X: "You honestly think she's gonna stand by and watch her family
slaughtered?"

G: "I don't know. She's confused. So am I."

X: "What about?"

G: "I thought that she deserved to know her family-- to be able
to make a choice. I thought that she'd be happier with them than
she would with the Horde, and now I'm-- I don't know."

X: "Cirvik-- loves her. I saw it in his eyes, and I heard it in
his voice."

G: "You know, you'd think I'd learn not to meddle with
families."

X: "You were right to wanna give her a choice, Gabrielle-- but
now we have to stand by the one she makes-- whatever it is."

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------

Man's Voices: "-- Stay alert! Watch for any movement!"

Van: "Xena-- I know you followed me."

Milo: "Guess again, sweet pea."

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------

[ACT IV]

Milo: "You savages got any gods-- you better pray to `em now."

X: "You know, this thing has really come in handy, lately.
You're still murdering children, Milo."

Milo: "A Horde is a Horde-- whatever their age."

X: "Look at her. Does she seem like Horde to you?"

Milo: "Not to look at-- but she's Horde, all right-- inside.
Ain't that right, P'lee?"

X: "Get back to your post. And if you ever desert again, I will
hand you over to the Horde myself. You all right?"

Van: "He hates Pomira."

X: "Pomira hate him-- and the rest of us. It's a bad situation
all around."

Van: "Many will die."

X: "On both sides. But you can stop that, P'lee."

Van: "How?"

X: "You understand both sides-- both languages. You can act as
a bridge between us-- a way of communicating without killing each
other."

Van: "What I care?"

X: "Because if you don't care, both your families get hurt."

Van: "My family Pomira. Cirvik-- h-his daughter die-- a-and he
choose _me_-- for his daughter. He love me."

X: "I understand that. But you can make him understand that you
have family here, too-- parents who love you-- and who would die
for you."

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------

Horde's Voice: "P'lee!"

X: "That's him. That's Cirvik."

G: "Xena?"

X: "Open the gates!"

Garth: "No!"

X: "I'm in command, here. I said, `Open the gates.'"

Milo: "Ah-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h!"

X: "Ah-h-h-h-h!"

Milo: "Ata-a-a-ack!"

Cir: "Ah-h-h-h-h-h-h!"

Milo: "Out of the way. This one's no kid."

X: "Can't let you do it, Milo."

Milo: "Then stop me."

[Fight]

X: "I hate that."

Milo: "Ah-h-h-h-h-h-h!"

Raul: "Vanessa-- please. Please don't go. You're home.
Please-- stay with us, Vanessa."

Van: "Both. Both-- my father."

Raul: "Vanessa-- your mother and I-- want you to come home."

Aja: "Please, Vanessa."

Van: "P'lee. You keep. I see her soon."

Cir: [Horde language]

Van: "Cirvik say-- `N-no fight; no war.' Say-- `Family'."

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------

X: "Now that we can cross the river, it'll save us at least a
day's travel."

G: "Good."

X: "You still thinking about Raul?"

G: "I wonder if he'll ever get past his hatred?"

X: "Maybe. I did. And now, thanks to you, he'll have Vanessa
to help him."

G: "Thanks to me?"

X: "Sure-- if you hadn't insisted that we go after Vanessa, then
I would _never_ have crossed that river. It was your faith in
love and family that convinced me it was right."

G: "It was wrong."

X: "No, Gabrielle, because of you, Raul and Aja now know that
their daughter is alive and happy-- instead of dead like they
thought. And because of you, Vanessa now has two loving homes
and-- and because of you, for the first time ever, there's peace
between us and the Hor-- the Pomira."

G: "I did all that?"

X: "Mm-hmm."

G: "And they call you the hero? Hmm."

X: "You wanna switch? Fine. You kick butt, and I'll take
notes."
