JOE DAWSON NARRATING: 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.

THEME SONG: Here we are.

Born to be kings.

We're the princes of the universe.

I am a martyr.

I have inside me blood of kings.

I have no rival.

No man can be my equal.

Take me to the future of your world.

-[SINGING] When you first saw me, you thought

you could use me.

Strut me up and down the strasse, cheat on

me and abuse me.

Well, mister, the tables have turned.

You've fallen under my spell.

I get to wear the crown that you reserved for yourself.

Hey, mister, I'm nobody's sister.

Leave Berlin while you can.

You thought you filled the bill, but I need a real man.

Your stories were charming, and your suits were severe.

You dance like the Kaiser himself.

You gave me a thrill.

Strut your stuff somewhere else, Mack.

This girl is busy today.

The boys are lined up around the block.

To all the boys I say, hey mister, I'm nobody's sister.

Leave Berlin while you can.

You thought you filled the bill, but I need a real man.

[weak applause]

-Well, Heinrich, have you been a bad boy?

-Very bad.

-Show me how bad.

Beautiful work.

You've made me very happy.

Later, my [german].

[door opening]

-Heinrich!

Stop!

-Nothing.

-Play something.

-Your stamina's improved.

-Yeah, I lasted a whole few seconds more that time.

-Don't worry.

It'll come.

-I hate this outfit.

-Part of the discipline.

Come on.

Let's do it again.

-All right.

You're mine now.

[laughing]

-Faster.

Other side.

Retreat.

Duck.

-What does he want?

-Me.

Your move.

-Ow.

Ow.

-Amanda.

-I'll say this, MacLeod.

You sure now how to treat a girl.

DUNCAN MACLEOD: God, I hate this machine.

I never got used to it in the first place.

Coffee.

I've spilt it everywhere.

-I like it, Duncan.

It's really you.

-Don't get used to it.

What do you want, Amanda?

-You mean besides you?

You know it's been ages since we've seen each other.

-It was last year in Paris.

-You know you're really good.

I should let you get away with it.

You know what, I'm going to toss a coin.

Heads, I let you go.

Tails, I call the police.

OK.

[security alarm ringing]

-Oops.

[security alarm ringing]

[security alarm ringing]

[police sirens blaring]

-Well, it wasn't the smoothest job I've ever

pulled, but it worked.

Where the hell is MacLeod?

-I should have known this was a set-up.

-What?

-I help you steal the book.

MacLeod takes my head, and the two of you live

happily ever after.

-OK, Zach, old pal, if that's the way you want it.

Let's get this over with once and for all.

-My pleasure.

I was saving this for MacLeod to slow him down.

But as they say, all's fair in love and--

[tsking]

-I knew you'd come.

-Why?

Did you miss me?

-Why try and save her, MacLeod?

She's betrayed you before.

-At least, I'm smart enough to stay out of jail.

-All right.

Maybe things just slip my mind every once in a while.

-And into your pocket.

-Well, nobody's perfect.

Do you want to know the real reason I came to see you?

-Surprise me.

-Because I heard about Tessa.

-Don't press your luck, Amanda.

-Look, Duncan, I know we weren't exactly friends, but I

do know she loved you.

And I just thought, you know, maybe you

could use the company.

-Thanks for the warm thought, but I'm doing OK.

-Maybe not.

You know it's not good to be alone with these things.

I think maybe I could help you forget about it.

What are you thinking?

-Actually, I was wondering where you were

going to stay tonight.

AMANDA [OFFSCREEN]: Of course, I had a room standing by, but

I didn't think I needed it, MacLeod.

I can't believe this.

Whatever happened to good old fashion hospitality?

-I guess it went out with covered

wagons and hoop skirts.

-You know you won't let me change.

You really expect me to steal, don't you.

-I expect sharks to bite too.

Don't take it personally.

[knocking]

PALANCE [OFFSCREEN]: Room service.

-I really thought we used to have something, MacLeod.

I guess I was wrong.

-Oh, spare me, Amanda.

You don't do the hurt woman very well.

-Well, it's worth a shot.

But I really do like you, Duncan.

Let's just play house for 70 or 80 years.

If you come up, I'll show you my etchings.

-Amanda, look.

Maybe, maybe in the future we can get together and have a

drink and laugh about old times.

-Can't wait.

-Dammit.

Listen.

AMANDA [OFFSCREEN]: Leave me alone.

-No.

No.

Where are they?

-What do you want?

-Hey, leave the lady alone.

-Back off, pal.

It's none of your business.

-Unfortunately, it is.

-Hey you.

-Come on.

-We lost them.

-Let's check every floor.

Come on.

-They're gone.

-How's your arm?

-I'll live.

But it's more than I can say about you.

Who were those guys?

-I swear on my mother's grave.

-You don't have a mother.

[ducks quacking]

-Sometimes I wish I could be like them, no worries, no

fears.

-No one chasing after you.

-Why won't you believe me?

I've never seen those guys before in my life.

-Funny.

They seem to know you.

-Well, I don't know what they could be after.

-Well, maybe it was one of those little things that

slipped your mind, you know, like gold bars, crown jewels--

-Would you lay off?

I haven't made a hit since Paris.

-Funny, I thought you forgot Paris.

-Well, I remembered.

Besides, you think if someone was chasing me, I'd come

running after you.

-It wouldn't be the first time.

-I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Even the children around here are watching.

Cold out this time of year.

-Yeah.

It's a good season for travel.

Berlin has become dangerous.

-Well, getting in is easy.

Getting out is the hard part.

-Yeah.

You better hurry.

We do not have much time.

-We'll meet at the Domino tonight.

You have to watch your temper, Werner.

-It was only a poster.

-Anyone can report you.

They may have already.

-If you saw what was going on here, day after day.

-It draws too much attention.

We can't risk that.

-How can I stand by and do nothing?

Berlin has become an asylum.

-Your martinis.

-And the inmates are running it.

Vielen dank.

-What you're doing is important, Werner.

-How can I help?

-I need travel papers.

-Describe the subject.

-Five, eight.

Grey hair, brown eyes.

57.

Make him an English tourist returning home to

see his sick wife.

-Papers, I think are not too difficult.

-I need them tonight.

-Then someone wants him out very badly.

Who is he?

-Your job is to deliver the papers, Werner.

Can you do it?

-Yes, if I hurry.

-Then let's get started.

-MacLeod.

It is you.

-Amanda.

I'll catch up.

-What are you doing in Berlin?

-Trying to see the sights before they're all gone.

-I could show you a few that aren't on the tourist guide.

-Thanks for the offer, but I'm all booked up.

From what I can see, you must be pretty business yourself.

-Never too busy for you, MacLeod.

-There's this guy watching you, you know.

-There usually is.

-Big ape with a scar like a highway.

Must be a close relative or friend.

-That's Rutger.

He's a cop.

Don't worry.

We had a little trouble here last night, but it's nothing

to do with me.

-No, it never is.

It's been really nice seeing you, Amanda, but I have to

run.

-Ah, not until you tell me where you're staying.

-And why would I do that?

-Because I'll scream if you don't.

-She works for you?

-Amanda?

No.

She only works for herself.

-But you seem to know her very well.

-It's a long story, Werner.

You don't want to know.

-Yes, but I do.

She saw us together.

I need to know if she can be trusted.

-The answer is no.

But she won't betray us either.

-I always wondered what it would be like to be English.

-Now, I guess you're going to get your chance, Professor.

Just take the vital ones.

They're going to be watching for us.

-The vital part isn't there.

It's here.

Do you know anything of physics, Herr MacLeod?

-Just the old fashioned kind.

I guess I left off at alchemy.

-Just a bunch of numbers to most people, but it is a map

we can follow to the heart of the atom, maybe to the secrets

of the universe.

DUNCAN MACLEOD: Maybe the secret's somewhere else.

-You don't think science knows the answers.

Do you, Herr MacLeod?

-I'm not so sure it knows the right questions, Herr Doctor?

-How well did you know Heinrich Fosse?

-Who?

-The man who was killed at the club.

-Him?

Hardly at all.

-I heard you were his lover.

-Me and that sweaty little man?

Hardly.

He was just a regular who liked to tip me.

That's all.

-Did he tell you how he made his money?

-No.

-You will accompany me to the station.

-All right.

But can't we think of somewhere more

exciting to go than that?

-What did you have in mind?

-Whatever you have in yours.

A man with a scar is so sexy.

I never kiss on the first date.

-Can anyone follow your research?

-The theory of--

-Who knows.

With a little luck and these papers perhaps.

-Well, now nobody is going to follow your work.

-Gentleman, gentlemen, what is this?

I mean what is going on?

-Relax, Physics professor.

Come on.

Let's go.

Amanda, what are you doing here?

-What do you think I'm doing?

I'm taking you up on that offer.

-What offer?

There wasn't one?

Now, why don't you go back and sing your

heart out for somebody?

Professor--

-Well, I can't.

I sort of quit tonight.

Who's he?

-Nice seeing you, Amanda.

-Listen, MacLeod.

I'm in a bit of jam.

Could I at least use your hotel room tonight?

-Be my guest, but I have to warn you the

room service stinks.

Come on, professor.

-You're right.

The room service stinks.

-You're late.

-Yeah, these things take time.

Where's your friend?

-Safe.

Do you have the papers?

-Whoever you are taking out, they don't like it.

The roads are crawling with police.

-Then they'll be covering the borders too.

Werner, can you manage a small plane?

-Well, this is not so simple.

The plane, yes, I can manage.

But these are tense times.

Without the proper code for the air traffic controllers,

you'd be shot down.

-Then get me the code.

I'll fly down myself.

-We're talking about genuine Luftwaffe codes here, MacLeod.

That would take real money.

-Whatever it takes, do it.

-I don't know.

How do you know that that will fly all the way to England?

-Because I've done it before, professor.

Look at it as a kind of physics, the

old fashioned kind.

Come on.

-But it doesn't look very safe.

-Safer than staying here.

Don't worry, professor.

Another 10 minutes, and we'll all be safe.

Do you have the codes?

-Of course.

Money is a great communicator.

-Good.

Come on, professor.

-So you are the one everybody is looking for, hm?

-It's not your problem anymore, Werner.

-No, you are right.

It's yours.

Your flight has been canceled, MacLeod.

-What did they buy you with, Werner?

Cash?

Or maybe gold bars, or perhaps just one of those tight little

uniforms they love to wear.

-They did not buy me.

War is coming.

You will fight for your country, and I

will fight for mine.

And mine will win.

-Don't count on it.

-Enough.

Move.

-Don't touch me.

I've hurt women before.

-Come on.

-Wait up.

-Go.

What are you doing here?

-You can't leave me like this.

-There's only enough room for two.

-MacLeod, please.

They're going to kill me.

-Can you fly this thing?

-Yeah.

Are you kidding?

-Just make sure he gets to England in one piece.

Here.

-What about you?

-It's all right.

I'll manage.

Just get out of here.

-I'll never forget this.

-Yes, you will.

Go.

-Probably those two from the hotel are part of them.

-So now, you're telling me you think these guys are Watchers.

-They might be.

-Great.

A bunch of mortals who've known about us for centuries.

How can you be so calm about this?

-Because there's nothing I can do about them.

They've been around longer than I have.

-This gets better all the time.

And all they do is watch us?

-Sometimes.

Sometimes, they kill us.

-Perfect.

At least with immortals we can feel them coming.

We can be ready.

How do we know who these guys are?

-They have tattoos.

-So do millions of other people.

Where exactly are these tattoos?

Are they, um, here?

-No.

-What about here?

-No.

-Could they be here?

-No, no, not there.

-No?

-You really want to know where they are?

They're right here.

-I could get used to this.

-What?

For about three or four days.

-I'm serious.

Sometimes, I think about settling down and getting a

place of my own with a little garden.

I've always wanted a garden.

What are you laughing about?

-I'm not laughing.

Want some wine?

-Yes, you were.

-No.

I wasn't.

I was smiling.

There's a difference.

Now, can't a guy just smile?

-No.

Not you.

You never do anything without a reason.

I bet you think that it's funny that I want to have a

normal life, right?

-Nope.

You can do whatever you want.

-You're damn right I can.

-Well, I'm glad we got that settled.

Mind you, you never did mention about

that time in Berlin.

-I don't want to talk about Berlin.

I want to talk about why you were smiling.

-Have you always been like this?

-Just answer the question.

-Why can't I just smile?

-I mean, I'm happy.

We're safe for now.

I just made love to the most devious, scheming, deceitful,

beautiful woman in history.

-Do you really think I'm one of the most

beautiful women in history?

-Mac.

Hey.

-Hey, how you doing?

-Good.

Oh, I slept like a log last night.

How about you?

You sleep OK?

-Yeah, fine.

-Good.

Good.

That's really good, because I was afraid you might be a

little tied up.

-Tied up?

-Yeah, exactly.

I mean, you know, I've been thinking, Mac.

I mean we're both men of the world here.

You make your own decisions.

Who you choose to sleep with that's entirely your business.

-I used to think so.

-Mac, don't get me wrong.

I mean she is a very, very fine looking

woman, extremely hot.

Purely on a level of physical

attraction, one to ten, she's--

what do you say--

off the scale.

I mean I'd probably even be tempted myself.

In theory, of course.

You see, Mac, I'm not quite sure how to say this to you.

-Richie, I understand what you're saying.

But frankly it's none of your business.

-I know, but see, Mac.

Friends look out for each other.

She's a crook.

She's setting you up for something.

-And I thought she wanted me for my mind.

-Amanda?

-So Mac, where is she?

Ah, still leaving the back way, huh?

-I guess she probably just went shopping--

with my credit card.

-MacLeod, how'd you find me?

DUNCAN MACLEOD: Shopping receipts.

AMANDA [OFFSCREEN]: Oh, you shouldn't have.

-You couldn't keep away, could you?

-Why should I?

Diamonds are a girl's best friend.

-Not when they're stolen.

-I came here out of professional interest.

I would never rob the place.

-Oh no.

Your friends again.

-There must be a way out of here.

-They went out the back.

Harry, come here.

Move it forward.

Freeze it.

That's it.

That's the son of a bitch I want.

-Never saw that guy before today.

-The woman hits town and wants an engraver who can keep his

mouth zipped.

Our informant hears.

We put you under surveillance.

A little later, she shows up here.

Where are the plates, Harry?

-She didn't have them with her.

She was just checking me out.

She wanted to know if I could change the dates.

-If that's all you can give me, you better grab your coat.

It's a long ride downtown.

-Oh look, I did what you wanted.

I called as soon she showed up.

-Is he one of them?

-No, he's not.

-Wait a minute, she called him something.

It was MacLeod.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's it.

It was MacLeod.

-FBI.

-Keep this to yourself.

-Yeah, right.

-Listen, MacLeod.

I swear.

-You swear?

-I don't know anything.

I don't anything.

-You swear.

Every time you swear, you get me into more trouble.

Now what little scheme have you got going on.

-MacLeod, I uh--

But I didn't know they were cops.

MacLeod, why won't you believe me.

-Experience.

-Well, I wasn't there to steal diamonds.

-Well, maybe you were there to fence.

You know just this once don't you think I could be innocent.

This has nothing to do with diamonds.

-Then why is the FBI after you?

-I can answer that.

I could have taken out a warrant, MacLeod, but

paperwork is so messy.

-What do you want?

-You like home movies, MacLeod?

-Not particularly.

-You'll love this one.

It's you two, just before you killed my partner.

Oh, he's dead all right.

Dead as a doornail.

-Well, I didn't do it.

I mean I couldn't have.

I wasn't even close.

-Well, he was alive when I left him.

-I don't think the jury's going to buy it.

-If you were going to arrest us, you would

have done it already.

-Smart man.

This little tape here will put you both in prison.

You being the accessory.

Without it, Jefferies is just another

episode on Unsolved Mysteries.

-What do you get out of it?

PALANCE [OFFSCREEN]: Two plates,

counterfeit $100 bills.

Word is they've been around since before the

Second World War.

-Why am I not surprised?

PALANCE [OFFSCREEN]: You ask around for an engraver to

change the date, people talk.

Either I get the plates, or you go down.

What's it going to be?

-State Street Bridge, the access road.

We'll need some time.

-You got two hours.

Don't even think about running.

There's no place on earth for a cop killer.

-MacLeod, I uh--

-I'm going to have that exit sealed off.

-Duncan, I worked hard for those plates.

I dragged them all the way from Berlin, and I'm not going

to give them to some cop.

-What do you want to do?

Spend the rest of your life running or in jail?

-No.

-Then shut up.

-Don't you tell me to shut up.

How do you know you can trust that guy?

-We can't.

Richie.

-I told you.

I'm not a thief anymore.

-So you turn to counterfeiting instead?

-Well, I ran out of money.

What else am I supposed to do?

-Oh, a job is out of the question.

-Would you get serious, MacLeod?

The only way to go straight was to print more money.

And all I had to do was get someone to change the dates.

-Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Print more money?

I mean counterfeiting and honesty, they go well

together, don't they?

-Don't be so picky.

OK.

My heart was in the right place.

-Are you ready?

-No.

But let's do it.

-Let's see the plates.

-The tape first.

-Is this the original?

-Yep.

-Amanda.

Amanda.

-Just what the doctor ordered.

-The deal is we don't see you again.

-You're right about that.

Walk along the edge.

-I don't suppose we could skip this.

I didn't think so.

-People died for those plates.

PALANCE [OFFSCREEN]: They still are.

Who goes first?

-If you're going to do it, do it.

-No.

-It's all right.

Get on with it.

[horn blares]

-More random violence.

-That felt terrible.

-Welcome back.

-It was worth it just for the kiss.

[coughing]

-Did you get it all?

-Every second.

-Good.

-Nice going.

REPORTER [ON TV]: Even without the unidentified bodies,

prosecutors feel the counterfeit plates and the

anonymous video would be enough to lay several charges

against Special Agent Palance, including murder, conspiracy

to commit murder, and fraud.

-Well, guys--

REPORTER [ON TV]: We'll be back with more details later

in the broadcast.

Helen.

-I'm out of here.

-Well, um, take good care of yourself.

-I will.

You too, and uh, what you did, Amanda, it took guts.

-Thanks, Richard.

-I'll catch you later.

-Bye.

-Bye, bye.

-You know this really-- this really hurts.

-What?

Where you got shot?

-No.

Giving you the plates.

-They weren't yours to lose in the first place.

-Oh, I love it when you get angry with me.

It makes it more fun to make up.

Are you sure, absolutely sure that you don't want to play

house for 70 or 80 years?

-You're impossible.

-Not for you.

-Amanda, it's like I said, it's not the right time.

-I know.

I know.

I know.

Then it was just one more shot though.

Oh well, we'll always have Paris.

-Yeah.

London, and Rome, and Tulsa.

-I'll see you, MacLeod.

I've got a bus to catch.

-Hey, Amanda.

-What?

-It'll still be there in the morning.

-True.

THEME SONG: And here we are.

We're the princes of the universe.

Here we belong.

Fighting for survival.

We've got to be the rulers of your world.

I am immortal.

I have inside of me blood of kings.

I have no rival.

No man can be my equal.

Take me to the future of your world.
