And Tonga Kid! Your opponents,

over on my right,

with a combined weight of 725 lbs:

"The Toast from the Coast" from Atlanta, Georgia,

the "Fabulous Freebirds!"

Yeah, right! You're gonna love it!

Kill him! Stamp out the sonofa

Don't give them a chance!

Hey, where are you going?

MacLeod!

Fasil

Wait.

Alright

MacLeod!

May this year of our Lord 1536

bring victory to the clan MacLeod!

MacLeod! Victory to MacLeod!

Are you scared, Connor? - No, cousin Dougal, I'm not.

Don't talk nonsense!

I peed my kilt the first time I went into battle!

Ay, Angus pees his kilt all the time.

Connor!

Connor!

Wait!

Take these flowers and think of me.

You fight with God on your side.

Ay, a girl like that can wound a soldier more than a Fraser's sword.

Keep him in one piece!

Ay We all know which piece that is!

There is one called Connor among them. - Ay.

Remember our agreement, Murdoch:

The boy is mine.

It's begun.

Death to the MacLeods!

MacLeod!

Come on!

Macleod!

Stay under!

Forgive me.

My son.

Fight me, damn you!

No, that's Connor MacLeod! - Fight me, you cowards!

Death to the heathens!

Nobody will fight me!

They all run away.

Stay by me.

Holy Mother of God!

Fight me!

No!

Come on, quick!

There can be only one!

Another time, MacLeod!

Get out! Put your hands on the hood!

Move!

Watch it, freak!

Just cool it!

Spread them; come on!

See some ID!

Well, Mr. Nash, where were you going

in such a hurry?

Give me it!

Don't move, pal!

Don't even breathe.

It is over. - No!

Other men are dying this day. I must attend them.

Quiet!

He's a Highlander!

The last thing to hear should not be that of a wailing woman!

Let me through.

Damn it, forensics are supposed to be notified the same time

as homicide!

Holy shit!

Yeah, this one came to assemble. - Have you made any arrests?

No. We're questioning some antique dealer down on Hudson Street.

Hello, Brenda. - Hello.

You look pretty, Brenda.

What do you think is the cause of death, Lieutenant?

Very funny, Garfield.

Get your hands off! - Hey, cop! I got friends, my wife, man!

Walker, get me a Danish toast, please!

What did they say? What time did he buy it? - About ten, ten-thirty.

The weapon was razor sharp.

Oh my God!

A guy was killed just like this in New Jersey. - Yeah, in New Jersey

Hey Frank, come here!

Oh shit!

Baby, look at you

Garfield, cover that head.

What the hell have you got? - A Toledo Salamanca.

A what? - A sword, Frank. A very rare sword.

Is it worth much? - About a million bucks.

Any antique dealer on Hudson Street could tell you that.

Ever see this guy before, Nash?

The name's Vasilek. Polish national. Had his head cut off in New Jersey.

You ever get over to New Jersey? - Not really.

You talk funny, Nash. Where you from? - Lots of different places.

You're an antique dealer, right? - Yeah.

Okay What's that?

A sword? - Wise up, smart ass!

That's a Toledo Salamanca broadsword worth about a million dollars. - So?

So, you want to hear my theory? You wanted to buy the sword from that guy.

What's his name? - I don't know. You tell me.

Iman Fasil. You fought about the price and cut off his head.

You want to hear another theory?

This Fasil was so upset about the lousy wrestling tonight,

that in a fit of depression he cut off his own head.

That's not funny, Walt.

Are you a faggot, Nash? - Why? Are you cruisin' for a piece of ass?

I'll tell you what happened.

You went down to the garage for a blow job without paying for it.

You are sick.

Hey!

That's enough! Damn it! I said cut it out!

I said cut it out!

Am I under arrest? - Not yet.

Then we're through. - Nash, we're just getting started!

Garage and water from a sprinkler.

It also left a man's decapitated body

lying next to his own severed head.

A head, which this time has no name. - I know his name

Okay, Mr. Victor Kruge, room 315,

and I'm going to hit you for twenty in advance.

If there's anything you need broads or blow just dial O.

That's right, Mr. Kruger. You're right here, ain't he?

Don't talk to the guests! - I didn't do nothin'!

At last!

The Gathering!

Hi!

I'm Candy.

Of course you are.

Come in!

Got a present for you. - What's that?

Pieces of metal. Found'em on the dead guy under the Garden.

In the wound and on the clothes.

Real smooth shave.

That can't be right.

Son of a bitch

Who's there?

Hey, Brenda. The usual? - Lots of it.

Say when.

When.

Excuse me a minute, Brenda.

A double Glenmorangie on the rocks - Glenmorangie? - Right.

Go to the Garden often? - What did you say?

What did you say?

Madison Square Garden.

Do you go there often?

Why?

Basketball,

the circus, wrestling

Why are you asking me about it? Have you been following me?

I'd like to walk you home, Brenda.

I can take care of myself.

Be quiet.

Here, take this.

Nice to see you again.

Nice yourself.

Stop! - I'm the only one!

No!

Hey, you, this is the police!

Put down your weapons and put your hands on your heads.

Another time, Highlander. I will find you.

Hold it right there! Come back here!

Stop, wait a minute!

Who in the name of God was that? What did he mean, "the only one?"

Listen, lady, you almost - I want to know - Shut up!

Don't you ever follow me again.

You only have one life. If you value it,

go home.

You saw the wound, Angus.

He should have died. - I say he's got the devil in him!

Drinking with us, are you?

What's the matter, Dougal? - You talking and breathing.

Last night all but a corpse.

How did you manage that, Connor? - Would you rather I was dead?

It's not natural.

He's in league with Lucifer.

Don't say that, Kate!

I'll say it! You've the devil in you.

We've been kinsmen 2O years!

Connor MacLeod was my kinsman. I don't know who you are.

Angus - You'd better go, Connor.

I'm not going anywhere.

Kill him!

D0ugaH

Dougal, kill him!

He's your cousin!

NO, Angus!

Quiet!

There'll be no burning today.

We'll banish him.

No! Burn him!

Burn him!

Can you walk? - I'll bloody well walk out of here.

Then go, while you still can!

I'll not forget you, Angus.

There's a good girl.

Pie and ale, do you want it? - Ay.

And how!

You dirty sod! You're all muck and muscle.

Ay, Blossom. The way you like it.

You can do that to me forever if you like, my Lord.

Will you, Connor? - Ay, Blossom. I will.

Hello!

Greetings.

I am Juan Sénchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez,

chief metallurgist to King Charles V of Spain,

and I'm at your service.

Who?

What do you want? - You.

You're Connor MacLeod. - Maybe. - You're Connor MacLeod,

wounded in battle and driven from your village of Glenfinnan

five years ago.

Connor!

Heather, go in the house. - I'll stay right here.

Do as I say, woman!

The sensation you're feeling

is the Quickening.

Who are you? - We are the same, MacLeod.

We are brothers!

I knew you guys were bottle-fed

Yeah, there's not a helluva lot I can do about it, pal.

You see what I'm up against!

His Vietnamese neighbor ate his dog.

That's confidential. How are things over at forensics? - Dull.

How about some lunch? - Lunch? Good idea. Who pays?

Me. - You're on.

By the way, Frank The hairs in the Moretti case matched up.

What did I tell you. - I forgot my purse.

I'll meet you outside.

Garfield, we're going to lunch.

Sometimes, MacLeod, the sharpest blade is not enough.

B A L A N C E,

Balance. - I don't like boots or water. I'm a man not a fish.

You complain endlessly.

You look like a woman, you stupid haggis! - Haggis? What is haggis?

A sheep's stomach stuffed with meat and barley.

And what do you do with it? - You eat it!

How revolting!

Be still for God's sake! You'll tip us over. - So?

I cannot swim, you Spanish peacock! - I'm Egyptian.

You said you were from Spain. You are a liar!

You have the manners of a goat, and you smell like a dungheap,

and you have no knowledge of your potential. Now!

Get out!

Help! Help!

Help me, I'm drowning! - You can't drown, you fool!

You're immortal.

I'm drowning!

We ask you,

Heavenly Father

I'm alive!

I can breathe

Crude and slow. Your attack was no better than that of a clumsy child.

This cannot be.

It's the devil's work.

You cannot die, MacLeod. Accept it.

I hate you! - Good.

That is a perfect way to start.

Tell me, how did it happen for God's sake?

Why does the sun come up?

Or are the stars just pinholes in the curtain of night? Who knows?

What I do know is: Because you were born different

men will fear you, try to drive you away

like the people in your village.

You must learn to conceal your special gift

and harness your power

until the time of the Gathering.

What Gathering?

When only a few of us are left,

we will feel an irresistible pull towards a faraway land

to fight for the prize.

Come on!

Faster!

Never lose your temper.

If your head comes away from your neck, it's over.

Never overextend your thrust.

You're vulnerable and off balance.

Connor

Heather, please!

If it came down to just us two, would you take my head?

We must fight till only one remains.

You're safe only on holy ground. None of us will violate that law.

It's tradition.

And now for the last.

Trust me.

Let yourself feel the stag,

his heart beating,

his blood

coursing.

Feel it

Come on! - I feel him

MacLeod, come on!

I feel him! - Come on!

I feel him!

Come on, Haggis!

MacLeod, this is the Quickening!

Now, Pendejo Shall we see what sort of swordsman you've become?

En garde!

Very good.

Give me your hand, brother.

That one there. How much is it?

Put him in.

What I want is a family.

You cannot have a family. We cannot have children.

That won't please Heather. I'll tell you that for nothing.

He's full of life.

Connor!

Here's dinner.

I'll be off now. I fancy buying me a new dress.

Oh, you little devils go on!

She is beautiful.

You must leave her, brother.

MacLeod,

I was born 2,437 years ago.

In that time I've had 3 wives.

The last was Shakiko, a Japanese princess.

Her father, Masamune, a genius, made this for me.

In 593 B.C.

It's unique,

like his daughter.

When Shakiko died, I was shattered.

I would save you that pain.

Please, let Heather go.

When we first met you felt ill. Remember?

That wasn't the first time you felt that sensation, was it? - No.

When the MacLeods fought the Frasers I met a black knight.

I felt it then. Only it was different. More painful.

That black knight was Kurgan. It's because of him I sought you out.

Who is Kurgan? Where does he come from?

The Kurgans were an ancient people from the steppes of Russia.

For amusement they threw children into pits with dogs to fight for meat.

Kurgan is the strongest of all the immortals.

He is the perfect warrior.

If he wins the prize, mortal man would suffer an eternity of darkness.

How do you fight such a savage?

With heart, faith and steel.

In the end there can be only one.

It must have been very dangerous. - I loved her very much, Heather.

She was the only thing on my mind. Not danger.

So holding the rose in my teeth, I climbed up on the rooftop,

lowered a rope and swung in through the open window.

Unfortunately, the lady was not there. - What did you do?

Well, I introduced myself to the lady who was there.

She was most helpful.

Would you like some more wine?

Yes, please.

Heather, get out. - What's wrong?

Out!

Kurgan!

Ramirez

The Highlander

Where is he?

You're too late. I've prepared him. - You waste your time!

It hurts?

Now you die!

You cannot win, Ramirez. I'm the strongest!

My cut has improved your voice.

Yes!

Hurts?

Who is the woman?

She's mine.

Not for much longer.

Tonight you sleep in hell.

There can be only one!

Hello, pretty!

I'd like to speak to Mr. Nash. - I'm sorry, he's not here.

May I call him at home? I have to talk to him today. - It's impossible.

Good Morning. - This is Brenda Wyatt, Mr. Nash.

We've already met, Rachel. What can I do for you?

I'd like some advice.

Do you take advice? - That depends. - Advice about what?

What can you tell me about a lunatic hacking away with a broadsword

in 1985?

Not much.

What about a Japanese sword dated 600 B.C.?

I don't deal in exotic weapons.

Can I show you something in 18th century silver?

That's not why I came here and you know it.

Do you cook? - Why? - I thought we might have dinner.

Did you? - Yes.

So, I'm standing there and there's Brenda! Our little Brenda.

You sure it was Brenda?

She was talking to Nash in his shop.

What are you looking at, Rachel? - The eyes in the back of your head.

People are asking about you. What am I supposed to say?

Tell them I'm immortal.

Attention! Four men over here!

Quiet

Don't be afraid.

What's your name? - Rachel.

What happened? - Everybody is dead.

I'm like you. I'm alone.

Come with me, Rachel.

You're alive! Why didn't you die? - It's a kind of magic.

You should be dead! - Move!

No! You'll have to shoot me first.

Whatever you say, Jack. You're the master race.

Let's go.

That was a long time ago.

Listen to me for one moment, please.

You can't hide your feelings from me. I've known you too long.

What feelings? - How about loneliness?

I'm not lonely.

I've got everything I need right here. - Oh no, you don't.

You refuse to let anyone love you.

Love is for poets.

You're such a romantic, Rachel.

You always were.

Just a minute!

Good evening.

Do you want to dine in the hall, or shall we step inside?

Come in.

May I take your coat? - No thanks. - What?

I'll hold on to it. - Oh, fine.

Where are you going? - I forgot my earrings.

Make yourself a drink. There are glasses in the bar.

Do you know what you're doing?

I like your place, Brenda.

I've only been here 3 months. I'm still clearing it up.

Interesting view. - What did you say?

I said, "interesting view."

Isn't it great?

You never told me what you do for a living.

I work for the Metropolitan Museum

in Acquisitions.

That explains your interest in ancient weapons.

Right

Especially the Samurai.

Very nice.

Shall we have a toast? - Yes.

Brandy

Bottled in 1783.

Wow, that's old

1783 was a very good year.

Mozart wrote his Great Mass.

The Montgolfier Brothers

went up in their first balloon.

And England recognized the independence of the United States.

Is that right?

Yes.

What's that?

It's for you. - Can I open it? - If you like

You bastard! Where did you find this?

I have an extensive library.

Odd thing, your bio doesn't mention the Met.

It says you work for the police. In forensics.

Are you and Moran trying to set me up? - I don't work for Moran.

Then why does that bald policeman sit outside and watch your apartment?

You remember him. Moran's had him tailing me.

What're you gonna do?

The question is what're you gonna do? Turn off the tape or shoot me?

I'm not looking for a killer but for the sword used on Fasil.

I found pieces of it under the Garden. I only want to see the Samurai. - Why?

Because it's not supposed to exist! I dated some of the blade at 600 B.C.

The metal had been folded 200 times. They only did that in the Middle Ages!

Where the hell did it come from?

If I could verify its existence, it would be like the discovery

of a 747 a thousand years before the Wright Brothers ever flew.

This is crazy.

Wait a minute, Nash! I want some answers.

You want ...?

Don't you ever think about anything except what you want?

You must leave her, brother.

Heather!

Connor, I'm here!

My beautiful man.

My husband.

I am that, my love.

I've never really known

What?

Why you stayed.

Because I love you as much now as the first day we met.

And I love you.

I don't want to die.

I want to stay with you.

Forever.

I want that, too.

Will you do something for me, Connor?

What, Blossom?

In the years to come, will you light a candle and remember me on my birthday?

Ay, love.

I Will.

I wanted to have your children.

They would have been strong and fine.

Don't see me, Connor.

Let me die in peace.

Where are we?

We're in the Highlands.

Where else?

Running down a mountain side.

The sun is shining.

It's not cold.

You've got your sheepskins on

and the boots I made for you.

Goodnight, my bonny Heather.

Hey, Kastagir.

MacLeod. It's good to see you again.

It seems like 100 years.

It's been 100 years.

How've you been?

Hey.

This puts hairs on your chest.

What is it? - Boom-boom!

A big strong man like you shouldn't be afraid of a little boom-boom!

Maybe you think I want to poison you? - I think you're crazy.

So, the Gathering is here.

Time has almost caught us, my friend. - Has it? Shall we go on?

I think we should have a party.

Oh no! I remember the last time we had a party. - Really, when was that?

It was 1783.

1783

Oh yes, your famous duel on Boston Common.

You were drunk. What was that guy's name again? - His name was Bassett.

The heavier blade, Mr. Bassett! - I'm fighting the duel not you!

See if the imbecile is ready.

Mr. Bassett is waiting, Sir. - Tell him I'm ready.

Christ! I've gone blind!

En garde, Sir!

Wonderful, Sir. - Thank you, Hotchkiss.

Bassett, is that you?

You missed him.

StOP, Sir!

Ibeseech."

I apologize for calling

your wife a bloated Warthog,

and I bid you good day.

Shoot him, Sir? Shoot him. Now, Sir, in the back of the head.

Hotchkiss Hotchkiss, stop it!

Hotchkiss ...? - Sir?

No, Sir

That's the mood of New York right now,

an angry city in the grip of fear. - Get out of here! Get out of here!

Give us a drink, pal. - Got a joint?

Hey, Rockefeller.

Hope you liked Candy? She said you were kind of kinky, huh?

Don't ever speak to me.

I didn't mean

Don't ever speak to me again!

Do you understand?

Good.

I hope you get your head chopped off, asshole!

And you, shut it!

What the hell

Okay, Marine This is for real.

Let's go!

Go, go, go! Come on!

What the hell's going on?

For God's sake

Look at that!

Mother of God

Mum!

Hey, where you're going with my car?

Help me, Daddy! Daddy! Help me!

Easy, Frank! I checked all over. There just aren't any witnesses!

That's New York!

2O people standing around, nobody saw a goddamned thing.

Tell me about this Matunas? Is he on drugs? - He's a survival man.

What? - He's into guns. He's a Marine, a Vietnam vet.

I talked to his ex-CO. He said the guy was a bit paranoid, but he was good.

How you doing? - Okay, for someone who had 3 feet of steel in the gut

I understand you saw the guy who stuck you?

You kidding me, man?

Is that him?

No.

Quit kidding! It was dark! - The freak was trying to kill me!

I'll never forget his face. He had a scar across his neck. That's not him.

Shit!

Depressed? - Yeah.

Don't go on about "depressed."

I got me a 357, I got me a trunk load of shotguns,

3 big bore rifles and ammo up to my ass.

I'm not safe I can't protect myself!

Take it easy!

That weirdo, he stood up

after I'd put enough lead in him to drop a rhino.

Do you think you could work with one of our artists,

maybe come up with a picture of this guy? - Sure, sure, yes.

Take it easy, pal.

' Y Qs'?

I know you guys think I'm nuts,

but there's something else.

After he threw me against the wall

This is like one step beyond. - Yeah. Remember, we've got one eye-witness.

Don't say anything about swordfights and guys glowing in the dark.

Have you read what it says here?

You kidding, Tony? You know cops can't read.

What does "incompetent" mean?

That mayor calls me at 2 o'clock in the morning!

I don't answer the phone anymore.

What does "baffled" mean?

Karen Joan Nash

Yeah, I remember this one.

I was practicing in Syracuse; didn't get many of these. - What?

Unwed mothers. Nowadays, that's no big deal.

Back then in Syracuse it was a stoning offense.

What happened?

She had the baby and she died. - Nash was illegitimate?

Oh, yes. He was illegitimate.

For about a minute and a half. He died right after she did.

He died?

Hello, Brenda.

Last night I went through the deeds to Nash's house in Hudson Street,

back through the five previous owners to the original: Montague in 1796.

In all five instances, Montague through Nash,

I found a death certificate for a kid with the same name who died at birth,

years before he pretended to sign for his inheritance.

Isn't there any heat in here?

No, heat is bad for the circuits.

Now, just in case there's any doubt

what you've got is a guy who's been creeping around since at least 1700;

pretending to croak every once in a while;

leaving all these goods to kids who've been corpses for years

and assuming their identities.

That's not possible.

Late extra! Cops release Headhunter picture!

Reward offered! Headhunter revealed!

For you, my bonny Heather.

Happy birthday.

And for you, Juan Ramirez.

Take care of her, you overdressed haggis.

Kastagir is gone.

Only you and I remain.

Nice to see you, Kurgan.

Who cuts your hair?

I'm in disguise.

This way no one will recognize me.

I do.

What do you want? - Your head.

And the prize.

Watch.

Happy Halloween, ladies!

Nuns! No sense of humor

Ramirez's blade did not cut deeply enough.

He was right about you. You're slime.

Ramirez was an effete snob.

He died on his knees.

I took his head

and raped his woman before his blood was even cold.

I see!

Ramirez lied.

She was not his woman.

She was your woman,

and she never told you.

I wonder why.

Perhaps I gave her something you never could

and secretly she yearned for my return.

Holy ground, Highlander!

Remember what Ramirez taught you.

You can't stay in here forever.

You are weak, Highlander.

You will always be weaker than I.

I'll be out front.

Goodbye, MacLeod.

We will meet soon enough.

This is the house of God.

People are trying to pray. You're disturbing them.

He cares about these helpless mortals?

Of course he cares.

He died for our sins.

That shall be his undoing.

Father,

forgive me.

I am a worm.

I have something to say.

It's better to burn out than to fade away.

I need to see him!

I'm afraid that's impossible. Mr. Nash is

Mr. Nash is dead, Miss Ellenstein!

What are you doing here? - Looking for a dead guy named Nash.

He died at birth in Syracuse.

Alright.

Come on.

Are the claymores real?

What is this? A museum? This stuff must be worth a fortune.

I have been alive for four and a half centuries.

I cannot die.

Well, everybody's got their problems.

What're you gonna do with that?

Take it.

I am Connor MacLeod of the clan MacLeod.

I was born in 1518 in the Glennfinnan village on the shores of Loch Shiel.

And I am immortal.

You're not listening. - It won't work. I can't get involved, not again.

Do you know what's weird?

Most people are afraid to die.

That's not your problem.

You're afraid to live.

Take care of yourself.

Don't lose your head.

Hello, my pretty.

Come on!

Mamma mia

Ever played chicken?

Excuse me!

Watch out!

Shut up. - Come on, sing along. - Shut up!

Stop!

I can entertain myself. Your friend is a real screamer. Listen.

Which part should I cut off first?

I'll be waiting.

The endless killing has driven him mad.

Rachel, there are some instructions in the desk drawer. Follow them.

There is a power of attorney for you. You'll have everything you need.

You're not coming back

Even if you kill him you're not coming back, are you?

Sweet Rachel, you always knew this would happen.

Russell Nash dies tonight.

Hey, it's a kind of magic

Goodbye, Russell Nash.

So now it ends.

What kept you?

There can be only one.

The Quickening overcomes me!

I know everything!

I know! I know everything!

So, this is where it all began.

Can you tell me about the prize?

It's like a whirlwind in my head.

If I concentrate, I know what people are thinking all over the world.

Presidents, diplomats,

scientists.

I can help them understand each other.

What am I thinking?

You're wondering whether or not you can love me.

I'm just like you. I can love and have children. Live and grow old.

You never prepared me for that, you Spanish peacock.

Patience, Highlander. You have done well.

But it will take time.

Generations are being born and dying.

You are at one with all living things.

Each man's thoughts and dreams are yours to know.

You have power beyond imagination.

Use it well, my friend. Don't lose your head.
