NARRATOR: He is immortal.

Born in the highlands of Scotland 400 years

ago, he is not alone.

There are others like him, some good, some evil.

For centuries, he has battled the forces of darkness, with

holy ground his only refuge.

He cannot die unless you take his head, and

with it, his power.

In the end, there can be only one.

He is Duncan MacLeod, the Highlander.

[MUSIC - QUEEN, "PRINCES OF THE UNIVERSE"]

MICHELLE [OFFSCREEN]: James!

Stay away!

[buzzing]

-Why are you doing this?

He's done nothing to you.

PALLIN [OFFSCREEN]: Ths isn't personal.

You ever wear red dresses?

Be a good color for you.

-I'll wear whatever you want me to wear.

It's been three days.

He won't come.

PALLIN [OFFSCREEN]: He'll come.

They always come.

[beeping]

-See?

Right on time.

-You're not an immortal.

What chance do you have?

-Do you wanna know a secret?

I cheat.

-James!

Stay away!

Stay away!

PALLIN [OFFSCREEN]: Scream all you want if it

makes you feel better.

-James!

Stay a--

-Surprise.

-You're not an immortal.

-Give that man a cigar.

-Where is she?

-She's around here somewhere.

All you gotta do is find her.

-Oh, I will.

After you're dead.

-Talk is cheap.

[buzzing]

-Guess who won?

-So, how's my love line doing?

-I see you're very romantic.

-Yeah, well, I've had my moments.

-You attract women not only of beauty but of intelligence.

-You're very good at this.

Do you, uh, see any attraction for me in

the very near future?

-Not likely.

I sense you're not looking to have a serious relationship.

-No, but I can live with frivolous.

-So.

You see anything you like?

-Yeah.

You know, I look at you sometimes and I realize how

beautiful you are.

-Maybe we should go home.

-Maybe.

RICHIE [OFFSCREEN]: Hey guys.

I would like you to meet--

-Hello, I'm Greta.

I'm the seventh daughter of the seventh sun.

I see things that other people don't even look for.

-As I was saying, this is Greta.

Would you care for some wine, Greta?

-Thank you.

-As I was saying, I few dollars spent on Greta's gifts

could be the best investment of your life.

-The rap alone is worth the investment.

-No, Mac.

Trust me.

She has real talent.

-I can see that just by looking at her.

-Come on.

It would be fun to have my palm read.

-Only if she tells you what you wanna hear.

-I see you're a woman of taste.

That was a rush.

-Are you OK?

-Yeah.

Where were we?

WOMAN [OFFSCREEN]: Stay away from me.

-What the hell was that about?

-What's wrong?

-Uh, it's no big deal, Tess.

She's just having a psychic experience, right?

-That's it.

I must've.

I mean, I did.

-Greta, I was kidding.

Hey, don't worry.

-You have to get the hell out of the city.

-What are you talking about?

-Trouble.

And you're right in the middle of it.

-I think we've heard enough, thanks.

-Hey, come on, guys.

We're all having fun here.

I mean, this is just a joke, right?

-Look, I saw what I saw.

I think this is for real.

-I'm sure it is.

Let's go.

-I know this sounds crazy as hell, but I saw swords.

-It's OK.

Thanks for the reading.

-Come on.

Don't let it bother you.

-She seemed so upset.

What about the swords?

How could she know about that?

-Well, maybe it was a coincidence, or maybe she

really did have a psychic experience and caught a

glimpse of our life together.

-Just scared me.

-Hey, Tess.

Nothing's written in stone.

Whatever she saw or didn't see, we decide our future, and

it's whatever we want it to be.

-Hold me.

I love you, duncan.

-I love you too, sweetheart.

-You bastard.

-What was that for?

Give me that.

Why?

-I am not a whore.

-What did I do?

-Roman!

-What did I do?

-Roman!

-What is this about?

Oh, I don't understand women.

She's crazy.

-It's Carmen.

-Carmen!

-Roman!

-What is it?

-MacLeod.

He used me.

He lied to me.

He said he would marry me.

-I will marry you.

-Liar.

I saw it in your palm.

-What are you doing?

-You will have hundreds of women, but

you will never marry.

Not me, not anyone.

-Is this true?

Get him a knife.

-Oh, this is crazy.

-You have destroyed the honor of my family.

-What on Earth are you talking about?

-You raped my sister.

-What?

-You will marry her.

Now.

-Roman, I love your sister, but no one's going to force me

to marry anyone.

-Then you will die.

-Roman, I am your friend.

Carmen.

-Go on, MacLeod.

-MacLeod.

You will bury many women, but you will marry none!

You will always be alone.

Do you hear me?

Alone!

-Let's get married.

-What do you mean, married?

-I mean married, as in married.

-You mean, as in a proposal?

You mean as in, will you marry me marry?

-Is this better?

Will you marry me?

-Get up, there are people!

-Will you marry me?

Well, you still haven't answered my question.

Do you think she should marry me?

-Yes.

-I think she should marry me.

Yeah?

I think she should marry me.

What do you think?

-All right, all right, all right.

Yes.

-Yes?

-I'll marry you.

-Yes!

-Why now?

What are you looking at?

-Probably nothing.

I'll be right back.

-What's going on?

Thought you guys were taking off?

-Richie, Duncan just asked me to marry him.

-He what?

-He proposed to me.

-For real?

-Yeah.

-Just now?

-Uh-huh.

-Why?

Well, no no, Tess, don't.

I mean, I know that he loves you and all, but I mean, after

all this time, it seems a little strange, don't you

think?

-Well, no, not to me.

-Well, congratulations.

-Did you ever think--

what if we had never met?

What if you didn't jump in that boat?

Huh?

What if--

-You'll drive yourself crazy.

-Where would you be now?

Where would I be?

-Give up.

Where would you be?

-Well--

-Well?

-I don't know.

I can't even imagine a life where we're not together.

Do you think there's such a thing as fate?

Something that drew us together?

-I think what drew us together was you.

Your face.

Your eyelashes.

Your hair.

Your ears.

-My whole head?

-And everything inside.

But most of all, your heart.

-Duncan.

-You know, it's going to be funny opening

the store again tomorrow.

-Mm-hm.

-So is this going to be a traditional wedding, or what?

-What do you mean?

-I mean, have you thought about who's

going to give you away?

-Come on, Richie.

Give me a break.

-See, I was actually kind of hoping that Mac would ask me

to be his best man.

-I wouldn't have it any other way.

-All right.

Cheers.

-Cheers.

-Tess.

Mac, can you give me a hand here for a second?

-Mac?

-A simple no would have worked.

-Can I help you?

Argh--

-Richie?

Ri--

-What do you want?

-Take whatever you want.

-I will.

-Tessa?

Richie!

What happened?

-Mac, a guy comes in here and zapped me in the neck.

-What guy?

-I dunno, a big guy.

Tall guy.

-What did he look like?

-Blonde hair.

-Where's Tessa?

-I don't know.

Mac, I'm sorry.

-It's not your fault.

It's not your fault.

I just have a feeling I've just been set up.

-What do you need me for?

-Bait.

-He'll fight anyway, if that's all you want.

-Well, maybe that's the way immortals do it, but I have to

be a little more careful.

-You're a Watcher.

-Oh.

So you know about us?

-Yes, I know about you.

But I don't understand you.

What in god's name do you think you're doing?

-My friends would call it saving the human race, but I

do it for other reasons.

I get off on it.

-Why Duncan?

-Because he's a freak.

-He's a good, decent man.

-He's not a man.

He's not human.

He's an it.

I think it's time we spoke to him, don't you?

[phone ringing]

-This is MacLeod.

[laughter]

-Listen to me carefully, you son of a bitch.

If anything, I mean anything happens to Tessa--

MAN [OVER PHONE]: Wait.

Don't tell me.

I'm a dead man, right?

-If you're lucky.

-How'd I guess?

Don't worry, buddy.

You'll get your shot.

And to show you that I'm not such a bad guy, I'm going to

let you talk to her.

-Mac.

-Tessa, you all right?

-I'm fine.

Don't come, it's a trap.

-Where are you?

-Of course it's a trap.

That won't matter, now, will it?

I'll be in touch.

-Mac, look what I just found.

Isn't this the earring that Tessa was wearing today?

-I just need five minutes of your time.

-Something happened to her, didn't it?

-Tessa was kidnapped last night.

-Then what are you doing here?

Shouldn't you be with the police or something?

-I need your help.

-Mr. I Do An Act, a little theater

for the paying customers.

My mother had the gift, but I never did.

-You do now.

-Look, last night was my first time, my only time.

It's not going to happen again.

-Please.

-I'm sorry, I'm blank.

Nothing.

The only thing I get a picture of is the pizza I had for

lunch.

-Try again.

-I do this, and then I'm out of it, right?

You go away?

Far away?

-What did you see?

-Nothing.

-What did you see?

Talk to me.

-All right.

I saw her.

Your friend.

She's, she's a prisoner, or something.

And, and there was a guy who with a mask.

He was swinging a sword.

What kind of stuff are you people into?

-Is she OK?

Can you tell me something about her location?

-No.

-Is there anything?

Anything else at all?

-There was a wall with animal heads on it.

-It's a dying art.

People just aren't killing things like they used to.

-That's too bad.

-It's hell on the fur business, too.

My cousin Mel's a furrier uptown.

-That's nice for him.

-Nice?

It's terrible.

He's in hock up to his ears, and nobody's buying nothing.

And when they do, some wacko starts throwing eggs and

garbage at 'em.

-The man I'm looking for is tall.

Blonde.

-If God didn't want women to wear fur coats, why'd he

invent mink?

-Uh, about the blonde man--

-What did he do?

Birds or beasts?

-What?

-What did he hunt?

Ducks?

Quail?

-Big game.

-Well, there was a guy in.

But he was bald.

I got a great memory for, uh, animals.

But people?

-Thanks anyway.

[screaming]

-Did you get it?

-Yeah.

Everything you asked for.

Something to drink?

-Yeah, thanks.

-So, what's next?

-I'm not sure.

I just killed the person who could have led me to her.

Don't ask me to explain.

-There's got to be something in here.

I can't believe Greta called all this.

Are you beginning to believe in this psychic stuff?

-I don't know, Richie.

You know, sometimes, just because something can't be

proven now, doesn't mean it'll never be proven.

People used to believe that the Earth was the center of

the universe.

-Couple of years ago, I would have never believed an

immortal could exist.

So, uh, never been married before, have you, Mac?

-No.

-Well, I guess without being able to have kids, there's not

much point, right?

-Something like that, yeah.

-Then why now?

I mean, I know it's probably none of my business, and

basically, I shouldn't be asking.

-That's twice you're right.

Yeah.

-Sorry.

-It's OK.

I'm sorry, myself.

Look, it might be just because of what Greta said.

Or maybe it's just the--

the thought of really losing her.

-Mac, don't worry.

We'll get her back.

-I've been around a long time, Rich.

-400 years.

I'd say that's quite a bit of time, yeah.

-Yeah, but sometimes I feel even older than that.

I've seen so many things, I--

I've fought so many battles.

People become part of your life, and then they--

they just die.

It all stays with you, Rich.

You live with it.

Their hopes, their dreams.

Their pain, their love.

Tessa makes me feel so young.

Every time I see her, it, it's like the first time.

Every time I touch her, I--

-Sounds to me like you are in love.

-Yeah.

Come on, I want to get back to the store.

We've got to be by our phone.

-Right.

-Better eat.

You'll be here for a while.

-Why are you waiting?

Why don't you just get it over with?

The longer MacLeod has to wait, the edgier he becomes.

Edgy man makes mistakes.

-Maybe he won't come.

-He'll come as soon as I tell him to.

[phone ringing]

-Yo.

MAN [OVER PHONE]: Billy's dead.

MacLeod killed him.

-Your good and decent man just killed my friend.

-You have no one to blame but yourself.

-Bitch.

Billy really believed in this crap.

He was a soldier.

-Soldier?

You're trying to kill an innocent man.

That isn't war.

It's murder!

-Find anything?

I thought you wanted no part of this?

-I didn't.

But I can't get it out of my head.

I keep having these visions.

These images.

It's making me crazy.

-Did you see anything new?

-I saw you.

-What was I doing?

-I don't know.

I mean, all I get is bits and pieces.

It's not like I can put in a tape and watch the movie.

-Well, what do you think I was doing?

-Fighting with somebody.

The guy in the mask, I think.

Look, this is all new to me.

I read poems, I make a few bucks.

It's a gig, not a lifestyle.

-Read my palm.

-What good will that do?

-Please.

-My god, you've got a lifeline the size of the Mississippi.

Wait a minute.

How old are you?

-Duncan.

Duncan.

-It's a miracle!

-'Tis the work of the demon master of the world below.

-Father!

-You're not my son!

[shouting]

-What are you?

-What did you see?

-Halloween.

Guys in, in costumes, swordfights,

this big, old house.

And then it all just went black.

-What do you mean?

The vision stopped?

-No.

It was different than that.

It was pitch black.

You know, like, like somebody turned out

the lights or something.

But blacker.

-Was it night?

Well, what color were the walls?

I mean, I need details.

-What details?

Black is black.

-Well, was there anything else?

Tessa, or the man holding her?

-No.

-There must have been something.

-What do you want from me?

You want me just to make up something so you feel better?

-No, I want you to give me something that I can use!

I'm sorry.

I know you're doing your best.

Was there anything else?

What about the house?

-It was an old Tudor, I think.

-Was there anything special about it?

-No.

I mean, it's probably nothing.

-What?

-The windows of the house.

Some of them were colored glass.

Look, I told you, it's not much.

-Oh, it's more than I had.

-Wait.

This is my home number.

I won't sleep until this is over.

-Thanks.

-Let me know what happens, OK?

-I will.

-Did he call?

-No.

Mac, what's he waiting for?

-It's his game.

-What are you doing?

-I'm looking for a Tudor house that Greta saw.

-Mac, there are tons of Tudor houses in this city.

-Some are registered as historical landmarks.

-Oh, sure.

Dozens.

-Yeah, but not all of them have colored glass windows.

PALLIN [OFFSCREEN]: What are you doing in there?

-Stop!

Stop!

Stop, please!

Stop!

You have to help me!

-Are you drunk, or something?

-You have to help!

Please!

-I still need you!

[phone ringing]

-Hello?

PALLIN [OVER PHONE]: Is that you, Richie?

-Who is this?

-Still stunned?

-Why don't you come find out?

-Ha ha.

Funny man.

Let me talk to MacLeod.

-He's not here right now.

-That's too bad.

Give him a message for me.

You tell him that the girl is at 3490 Briarcliff Street.

And you tell him I'm expecting him.

-That was very good before.

I won't underestimate you again.

-It's not me you have to worry about.

-We'll see.

-Mac!

-Quiet!

What are you doing here?

-He called just after you left.

He's in that house.

-I know.

I want you outside.

Tess is the only one I want to worry about in there, all

right?

-Right.

-Right?

-Right.

-So he brought the posse.

[grinding]

PALLIN [OFFSCREEN]: Welcome, Highlander.

You got here sooner than I thought.

-Where's Tessa?

-Here.

-Who are you?

-Very impressive.

It's only a matter of time, Highlander.

Argh!

-Mac!

Thank god!

-Out of the way.

You all right?

-I'm fine.

-I'm fine too, if anyone cares.

-I thought I told you to stay outside.

-So sue me.

Oh, take Tessa home in the car.

I'll take your bike.

I want to find out a little bit more about this guy and

his friends.

-Don't be too long.

I love you.

-I love you, too.

-Tessa.

-Thanks.

-Come on, let's go.

-Nice car.

How about a ride?

-Some other time.

Let's go.

-Now!

Give me your keys.

I want your rings, wallet, necklace.

Come on!

-OK!

OK.

-Come on.

-It's OK.

-Hurry up.

Come on!

-All right.

-That's all you got?

Where's--

You got more.

Where's her purse.

Come on!

-I don't have a purse, I swear.

Only--

Only the rings.

-You lying bitch.

[scream]

[MUSIC - KANSAS, "DUST IN THE WIND"]

-Uh, I didn't wanna miss the tour.

-Is that the way you always make an entrance?

-I try to make an impression.

-You have.

Bravo.

[MUSIC - KANSAS, "DUST IN THE WIND"]

-Damn you!

Damn your Gathering.

Damn your whole race!

-I'm--

I'm not you're enemy.

-Maybe I want someone I can grow old with.

-You know I want the same thing.

To grow old with you.

-I love you, Duncan.

-I love you too, sweetheart.

[MUSIC - KANSAS, "DUST IN THE WIND"]

-You're one of us now.

Sell it.

Richie.

Watch your head.
