Episode 5
Vixen S02E05 Good evening, people of Detroit.
My name is Benatu Eshu.
As of this message, I am no longer a representative of the Zambesi government.
ESHU: Pain and destruction and fire are about to rain down on your fair city.
For this, I apologize.
But one woman has it wither her power to stop this apocalypse.
She knows what she possesses and she knows that I want it.
And when it is mine, the death will end.
I promise you all that.
(phone ringing) Really not a good time.
I found a song in the archives.
It says each totem has a center, it's auri.
It's like a soul.
If you crush the soul, the totem will lose its power.
Okay, I'll just ask Eshu if I can borrow his totem for a minute.
If anyone can do this, it's you.
You are meant for this battle, Mari.
Equal forces, different elements.
Mari As you burn, try to remember that I wanted to handle this as human beings.
I think your firery buddy wants to get your attention.
He's got it.
(grunting) (grunts) - (bellows) - (grunts) (grunts) (roars) (grunting) (grunts) Is that all you are able to conjure? There is not a single animal walking the earth that can hurt fire.
Oh, I can think of one.
Please, enlighten me.
A canary.
(grunting) (grunting) (groans) Do you have a single friend who can defeat me? Not a friend.
A sister.
(grunts) For what you did to my village, my family, I will see you drown.
Keep hitting him, Kuasa.
(grunts) (grunting) (Eshu grunts) Kuasa, run! No, I am not our mother.
I will not run from this fight.
(yells) No! Water cannot defeat fire.
Nor can your spirit.
And I will break your spirit, I promise.
And then I will do that which I should have done to your mother, I will kill you.
