Want a hotdog?
No,thanks.
Just ketchup, please.
Thanks.
Listen, I've got an errand to run.
[Chuckles]
Kind of skimpy on the ketchup.
Duncan, I've got to do this alone.
What? Wait,wait,wait.
You called me in Paris,
and you said, "We have to meet."
Now suddenly you've got an errand to run?
What's going on?
I don't know.
It's...
nothing.
You okay?
Yeah. I'm okay.
Really.
I know you better than that, Connor.
Haven't seen you like this.
People change, Duncan.
You'll learn that.
Fine.
You can tell me all about it tonight.
8:00 at the bar.
And you're buying.
Right.
8:00, and I'm buying.
Mm-hmm.
You sure you gonna be all right, Connor?
of course.
Duncan...
watch your back.
[ Bell Ringing]
Connor?
(Voices On TV)
(Connor)Okay.
(Girl) What is it. Connor?
(Connor) Open it.
(Girl) Oh. A ballerina.
Wow. She's beautiful.
(Girl) Thank you.
Mmm, my angel.
[ Music Playing]
(Connor)Oh, my God. I'm so proud of you.
I love you, Connor.
I love you, my Rachel.
(Connor)Oh, God. I'm proud of you.
(Rachel)Thank you.
[Telephone Rings]
[ Ring]
[ Beep Beep]
Hello?
[ Beep Beep]
Rachel!
(Connor) Rachel.
My beloed Rachel.
How long has it been since she died?
A year? A century? More?
My mind keeps slipping.
but somethings I know.
I am Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod.
and once, a very long time ago,
I was a Highlander.
(Connor) Born of this land.
and like this land, immortal.
[ Dogs Barking]
(Man)Witch.
You brought this plague on us.
You damned us all. Connor MacLeod.
You sold your soul!
(Man)You're a witch.
You child of Satan.
They drove you from your home,
cut you off from your own people.
What else do they want?
Someone to blame.
Your mother will burn!
Connor.
Your mother will burn!
Rot in hell!
Get in the house.
(Connor) Get off my land.
Leave us in peace.
Get off my land.
(Heather) Connor, please.
You're not going back to Glenfinnan.
I have no choice.
Connor, please.
They can't hurt me, and they know it,
but they can still hurt the ones I love.
I'm afraid.
I love you, Heather.
More than anything in this world.
Do you belive me?
Yes.
Then don't be afraid.
Nothing can keep me from you.
[ Horse Whinnies]
Nothing.
[ Horse Neighs]
Connor.
I thought you might be the water horse...
come to take me on his back and drown me in the loch.
No one comes to take care of you?
(Mother)Not in years.
They think I bed evil their children...
because my own was banished.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Tiny mites...
and soured dispositions.
I've no need of them, Connor,
any of them.
Then it's settled.
You're coming with me.
[Wind Blows]
Aah!
Connor!
Connor,what is it?
I'm not sure.
It happened once before.
Aah!
Aah! Connor!
(Priest)In the name of the Holy See...
and the rule of law.
you are hereby charged.
Connor MacLeod,
with heresy...
and the practice of black magic.
We were friends, remember,Jacob?
I stood at your ordination.
I vouched for you.
You shouldn't have come back, Connor.
(Priest)Take him.
Aah!
(Priest Speaking, Indistinctly)
(Priest)The ties of blood...
cannot be seered by word or deed.
[Gasps]
(Connor)Mother.
(Jacob)Due to the infinite compassion...
you are entitled to one final opportunity...
to renounce all that is unholy,
and declare Connor MacLeod not of your loins.
How say you, Caiolin MacLeod?
If your God...
should persecute me into the next world,
then I shall simply have to find myself another.
[Gasps]
[Crowd Muttering]
(Woman)Burn her.
No! No! No!
(Jacob)He is your son.
I am silent for you.
(Connor Grunting)
(Man)Black powder.
It will ease your suffering.
(Connor)Mother.
No!
[Grunting]
(Caiolin Weeping)
[Screaming]
[Grunts]
(Man) You're next,you demon.
Aah!
[Growling]
(Horse Neighs)
Aah!
My water horse.
Unh!
(Man) The Deil's come back to life.
(Priest) Let her be, Connor.
Aah!
Father?
(Jacob)Father?
Please.
Do not leave me.
Father.
Aah!
[Jacob Grunts]
Connor--
(Connor)My endless days...
are filled with memories of the past...
and the death of my mother by Jacob Kell.
[ Engine Revs]
(Man)Boy,you people are extremely difficult to find.
We like it that way.
Go ahead, man. Take your pick.
Unh!
Uhh!
Aah!
[ Engine Revs]
[Gun Cocks]
[ Fires Gun ]
Aah.
Take their heads.
They might be Immortals.
Yes,they might be.
Aah!
Don't be long.
[Coughs]
The Sanctuary.
So it's true.
What sacrifices they have made of you,
ware housed like rotting pieces of meat.
Tell me,
is this...the better way?
(Kell)I'm sure you'e had time to reflect upon it.
What you need to understand...
is that I don't care about the game.
I don't care about the rules.
I don't even care about these pathetic souls...
you keep locked away as a barrier to the prize.
Which one is Connor MacLeod?
[Whistling]
[Grunts]
[Strained Breathing]
Well,what do we do now?
What we always do.
We're Watchers, not cops.
(Man) We'll find another volunteer.
[ Bell Tolling]
[Telephone Rings]
[ Ring]
(Woman)What you fear about Connor MacLeod,
fear the worst.
Who is this?
A friend.
(Woman) Don't bother looking for me. Duncan.
[ Dial Tone]
He's on the move.
Duncan MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod.
Hello, Methos.
What brings you to my humble abode?
Need your help.
Why me?
(Duncan) You're been around for 5.000 years.
I want the benefit of your experience.
And I thought it was a social call.
You ever had nightmares?
What kind of nightmares?
Bloody images...
powerful enough to even break your meditation.
We live violent lives, MacLeod.
Some of that's bound to stay with us.
These ones came 10 years to the day...
that Connor MacLeod disappeared.
Connor had good reason to go.
He told me how much Rachel meant to him.
There was more to it than that. I was with him that day.
The day Rachel was killed?
Something wasn't right.
Connor,you okay?
Yeah. I'm okay. Really.
I know you better than that, Connor.
I've never seen you like this.
People change, Duncan.
You'll learn that.
I need to know if he's still alive, Methos.
You know a little about Buddhist monks.
Some of them come to cherish life so much...
that to step on an insect or harm a blade of grass...
becomes a violation of their creed,
so they place themselves under an extreme form...
of protective custody--
A Sanctuary of sorts.
Well, for an Immortal...
who comes to abhor the bloodshed,
there's a similar solution--
Away to be removed from the game forever.
(Methos)The price is unimaginably high.
but you are, for all practical purposes,
protected from the violence within you.
And it's called The Sanctuary.
Connor would never do that.
(Methos)Are you sure?
It's been around since before you were born.
At least until last night.
What happened last night?
It was annihilated.
(Connor) Hey. Duncan, what's the matter?
(Duncan)The British...
destroyed the clans, Connor.
Scotland's finished.
(Connor) Scotland will always be Scotland.
and someday you'll go back.
You can beton it.
How much?
Aw, come on.
Does everything have to be a wager with you?
Well,you're the one that keep stelling me...
our lives are nothing but a boundless game.
[Chuckles]
[ Duncan ] Good morning, gentlemen.
What seems to be the problem here?
[ Man ] They refuses to pay her toll, sir.
(Duncan) Really? How dare they.
These men are rogues.
(Faith)The semenare liar sands coundrels, sir.
They've done nothing but prey upon us 3 years running,
right at this very spot.
And by whose authority do you act?
By Deed of the King.
(Connor) There is a little X down here.
Does the King always sign his name with an X?
Excuse me. Sorry. Ha ha.
I think these gentlemen should be paid.
That deed is a fake.
That's a matter of opinion.
You, sir, are no better than they.
That is also a matter of opinion.
Here you go.
Ladies.
It's gold!
Why not-- It's gold.
Firstman.Ha ha.
Hey,wait a minute. They took my money!
oh, it's here.
They took my money!
(Man) Let's go get 'em.
Shall we?
[Yelling]
Aye.
(Man)Aah.
-ooh. -ooh.
Heh heh.
(Connor) Not bad.
Uh-oh.
Mmm.
All right boys,time to go. Let's go!
Come on.
(Duncan) Ohh. Cuckoo.
Oh, looks heavy, huh?
(Duncan)Looks like you lost your edge, lad.
(Connor)Really heavy.
or could he be lass?
Could be.
[Groaning]
Hyah!
(Drier)Come on.
Hyah.Hyah.
Hyah!
(Bombs Exploding)
(Duncan) Corporal Duncan MacLeod, sir.
I'e come to pick up the wounded.
[ Indistinct Chatter]
You've improved greatly.
Ah,you really think so?
No.
I'm Just being gracious.
Hmm.
Now, remember.
You are only immortal...
as long as you can keep your head...
on your shoulders.
[ Duncan ] Gahh.
Duncan,what you give up to your adversary...
in defeat...
is everything.
I know. And at that point,
I'm very,very dead. Come on!
Heh heh heh.
Not Just dead, Duncan--
Empty!
Aye, Connor, I know. It's called the Quickening.
our strength and knowledge, our life essence,
flows into the victor,feeds him,
and makes him stronger,yes?
It's what drives the other Immortals...
to kill us,
and what forces us...
to be smarter, better than the rest.
[Groans] I understand.
Ooh.
You do?
Ohh.
(Connor)Good.
[Groans] I slipped.
Listen, soon you and I will have to part.
There is one more thing I want to give to you.
[Grunts]
Va ia. Va ia.
Ho ho ho.
oh, aye!
oh, aye.This is much more to my liking.
Good.
Bah! Heh heh heh.
Heh heh heh.
Attack me.
But you've got your back to me.
It's not always about strength, Duncan.
Attack me!
Aah!
It's about manipulation of the mind...
as well as the body.
Aye, but now I'm in control.
Heh heh heh,Are you?
[Grunts]
Remember well, my friend.
Properly executed, this move is unstoppable.
Properly executed, we'll have this talk again.
[Wind Blows]
Who are you?
A friend... or a lover.
or a wife.
Kate?
Attaboy.
Except I'm Faith now.
Part of the make over.
Whatare you doing here?
Remember our wedding day, Duncan?
I do.
[Sighs] The way we danced.
[Scottish Music Playing]
I felt like we were flying.
of course, we did come down...
didn't we?
Crashing.
(Motorcyle Engines Rewing)
oh, shit.
(Man)It's time to show our Immortal brother...
a thing or two.
Somebody order a club sandwich?
He's funny. Nice outfit,too.
Faith, I told you I look like a fuckin' orange!
I'm not dressing you black, Bob. Trust me.
Who are they?
Friends.
What, it's a team sport now?
What,you didn't know?
It's a whole new ball game.
Aah!
Hey!
Nice bat.
Aargh!
Told you I was gonna cut you.
[Growls] Aaah!
Let my man Jin Ke deal with him.
Jin Ke...
who served with the Emperor Chin.
The same man.
Some people say you're a man of honor.
What do you know about honor?
oh, great.
Yaah!
Honor's not in a weapon.
It's in the man.
(Kell)Enough.
Boys, boys.
(Kell)I do apologize.
When it comes to discipline.
the first hundred years are the hardest.
Ohh!
Guess I'm not much of a swords guy.
I thought I told you to stop.
(Carlos)Yeah, well.
I stopped.
Tell me, Carlos.
How much is your life worth?
Don't start this bullshit, man.
(Kell)'Cause the only way to win your freedom...
is to kill me.
You're crazy.
Am I?
Then go ahead.
Stop the madness.
[Tires Squealing]
Can you live with the fear?
Can you live with the weakness?
[Saw Buzzes]
Weakness, Carlos.
I call this...
decap with a twist--
No sugar.
[Gasping]
Watchers?
Huh?
Watchers observe Immortals.
They're no tsupposed to interfere.
Unfortunately, our role has changed somewhat.
Why?
Because the rules has been broken.
one of your kind has gone renegade.
In doing so, he's gained himself a sizable advantage.
One that'll be impossible to overcome.
Nobody's unbeatable.
Oh,yes, Duncan. He is.
Unbeatable.
No.
[Grunting]
Ahh.
[Grunts]
Sorry about that.
There must always be two of your kind.
As long as there are two,
and you're kept from fighting,
then the prize is safe.
The Sanctuary must not fail again.
You're insane.
(Duncan) Get yourself another volunteer.
We had a number of volunteers!
Sadly,that's no longer the case.
You'll beware housed,
hidden away.
Go to hell.
Don't worry.
[ Distorted ] The drugs'll kick in momentarily.
(Heavy Breathing)
[Woman Screaming]
[Gasps]
[ Horse Neighing]
[Swords Clanging]
[Gasps]
(Connor)Get up.
Get up.
You have better things to do than lie there on your ass.
Who are you?
Someone who knows more about you...
than you know about yourself.
Are you a demon?
Heh, hehheh.
I've been called that...
and worse.
I'm Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod.
Connor MacLeod?
And like you, my friend,
I have a hard time dying.
(Metal Tools Rattling)
Dawson?
Heh,you look like shit.
Thanks.
How long have I--
We'll talk about it later.
We gotta get outta here.
Come on, can you walk?
Yeah.
Uhh.
(Duncan)Go. Go.
What are you doing here?
(Methos) Keeping tabs on you.
(Duncan)Yeah?
Well...
someone should keep tabs...
on that psychotic asshole back there.
Didn't you get it back in London?
(Methos) These guys don't play by the rules.
You don't know what you're up against, Mac.
So people keep telling me.
Stop the car.
I managed to liberate that from their lost and found.
There's blood on it.
I didn't say it was easy.
Pull over.
(Methos)What?
Pull over.
(Dawson) MacLeod, tell me something.
Mac, hear him out!
Mac!Will you tell me something?
Now, how many Quickenings have you had?
How many heads have you taken?
I don't keep score.
Well,we do.
(Computer) MacLeod, Connor.
What's that?
The Watchers' version of a resume.
(Dawson)It's a bit like handicap ping horses. I know.
but it's part of the gig, all right?
(Computer) 174 confirmed Immortal kills.
Sound about right?
So,what's your point?
[Sighs] Here's the gentleman you met in Connor's loft.
(Computer) 661 confirmed Immortal kills.
Welcome to your worst nightmare.
Sanctuary wasn't shit, pal.
This guy is way out of your league.
I want to see Connor MacLeod's body.
Why?
[ Duncan ] Something doesn't make sense.
What are you saying?
I think he's saying he wants to see the body.
Well, it's gonna be a rough I.D.
They're all missing their heads!
[ Harmonica ]
We gave 'em a Christian burial, MacLeod.
It was decent,you know.
Said all the right words.
Can't begin to tell you how reassuring that is.
(Dawson)With all these unexplained corpses.
Well, we had to take it off the beaten track.
End of the road,Joe.
Thanks.
You watch your ass, MacLeod.
It's not my ass I'm worried about.
Did I happen to mention about all this...
coming to a bad end?
No, Methos.
I don't believe you did.
You were gonna stay and dig.
Dig? Oh,yeah!
