DUNCAN NARRATING: I was born 400 years ago in the Highlands

of Scotland.

I am immortal, and I am not alone.

Now is the time of the Gathering, when the stroke of

a sword will release the power of the Quickening.

In the end there can be only one.

[theme music]

[music playing]

-No.

-That's what you'd like?

-I do like you.

-Now what?

-Look, I'm sorry.

-Maybe we shouldn't.

Maybe we should practice more.

-I need to go home.

-This, uh-- this isn't the taxi service.

You want to go home?

OK.

[inaudible].

Hey.

Come on.

Hey.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to come on so strong.

I acted like an idiot.

Come on.

Look, OK.

I'll--

I'll take you home.

-What is it?

-What?

Sometimes, when you--

you're with somebody that you really like, what I mean is--

when I kissed you just now, I kind of--

I couldn't if you weren't so damn beautiful.

-Do you think I'm beautiful?

-Very.

[heart beating]

[screaming]

-Lori.

Where have you been?

-Daddy.

-Lori, what happened?

-I told him no.

He wouldn't stop.

-Who did this to you?

-He hit me.

And I kept--

-Tell me.

-Let go.

-Who he is?

-You're hurting me.

-His name, Lori.

I want his name.

DUNCAN [OFFSCREEN]: Open the gate, would you, Richie?

-Got you.

-Allan was the first man I ever loved.

-Should I be jealous?

-Very.

I was 7.

He was 19.

-Ooh.

-When he joined the Diplomatic Service after college and left

the country, I was heartbroken.

Even then I had a thing for older men.

Maybe I should thank him.

-Maybe you should.

So how many people did you say were going to live here?

-Just two.

We would visit almost every Sunday.

Allan's mother and my mother were very old friends.

It was magical.

There were parties to dress up for and horses to ride.

-Sounds just like my childhood, except for the

parties, the magic, and the horses.

-Tessa.

-Allan.

-Wow, would you look at you.

You must be Duncan.

-Hi.

-Please, go-- go right in.

-Thank you.

-Allan Rothwood.

-Hi, I'm Richard Ryan, but, uh, feel

free to call me Richie.

-My son will be happy to have someone his own age to talk

to.

-Great.

-Mark.

Where are you?

Come down here.

My son, Mark.

-Hi.

-Hi, Mark.

I'm Richie.

Nice to meet you.

-Hi.

-Hi, Tessa.

-Mark.

Well, my father said you were very beautiful.

He's right.

Your father's prejudiced.

-Hardly.

And, uh, and not married.

-But well spoken for.

-And still as beautiful as ever.

Come, let me show you around.

I'm afraid time hasn't been too kind to the old place.

It would be months before we can move in.

Actually, I was hoping you might be able to help me put

it back together.

-A little paint, a little polish, the place will be as

good as new.

-Nice harp.

This place is incredible.

-If you like drafty ruins in the middle of nowhere.

-It's not that bad.

-Right.

And for our afternoon's activity, we'll watch the

grass grow.

And you can forget about the women around here.

The cows have more style.

And better legs.

-Tessa tells me that you've lived just about

everywhere in the world.

-Hm.

Diplomat brat.

That's me.

Look, I know you're trying to be friendly,

but what's the point?

I mean, I know we're both guys.

But really, that's all we have in common.

-No one's lived here in years.

After mother died, there seemed no point in staying on.

I think I've stayed away too long.

-I remember my first Christmas in this room.

I couldn't believe anything could be so beautiful.

Mac?

-I just got to get something out of the car.

-God, it's good to see you.

-Who the hell are you?

-Duncan MacLeod.

And you?

-Everett Bellian.

-You here for me?

-It's not my primary objective.

-And what can I do for you, General?

-That's Colonel.

I'm here for Mark Rothwood.

-Why?

-Just bring him to me, MacLeod.

-Maybe if you told me what this was about.

-He raped my stepdaughter.

Where is he?

Didn't you hear what I said?

-I'm sorry.

If there's proof, the police will--

-Lori's word is my proof.

I don't need the damn police.

RICHIE [OFFSCREEN]: Mac.

-That's not him.

-But you'll bring him to me?

Now, I can go around you or through you.

Your choice.

Don't keep me waiting too long, MacLeod.

-Everything OK, Colonel?

-Let's go.

-Anytime you want to leave.

-What's up?

-I'm with this jerk 15 minutes.

I'm ready to take him apart.

-You'll have to wait in line.

-Rape her?

Well, I don't even know her.

-Well, her father thinks you do.

-Well, he's a liar.

Or, she is.

Take your pick.

Why'd they lie?

-[scoff].

You gotta be kidding.

These things happen all the time.

-Do they?

-Yeah.

This girl goes at it hot and heavy with her boyfriend.

I don't know, maybe-- maybe she gets pregnant.

Maybe her father just gets pissed she's too easy.

So she's got to tell him something.

-Well, go on.

-She's got to blame somebody.

So she tells him she was raped or something.

So then it's not her fault.

-But why does she blame you?

-You don't know?

-Enlighten me.

-OK.

These things happen all the time to people with money.

-Oh.

-We always pay to avoid the scandal.

Here, look.

Uh, just give him this.

It's the number of my father's lawyers.

They will work out something financially acceptable.

-Your father's money isn't going to get

you out of this one.

Did you rape her?

-Come on.

-Did you rape her?

Did you?

-I swear there's been some kind of mistake.

[screaming]

-I didn't do it.

He's got the wrong guy.

-Stop.

-It's a mistake.

Please.

I didn't do it.

I swear it.

They're lying.

-You are guilty of desertion in the face of the enemy.

-It's their word against mine.

A man has a right to a fair trial.

-This is a battle, not a courtroom.

-I was following orders for god sake.

-Stop.

-May God have mercy on your soul.

DUNCAN [OFFSCREEN]: Stop.

He's innocent.

Stop, it's a mistake.

-Ready.

-No.

Stop.

No.

-Aim.

-Stop!

Get off your horse!

-Get out of the way.

We're going to shoot that man.

-No, he's innocent.

It's a mistake.

-Get this man out of the way.

-No, you don't understand.

-Ready.

-No.

-Aim.

-Please.

No, stop.

-Fire!

[gunshots]

-No!

It was a mistake.

It was a mistake.

-Where is he?

-I understand how you feel.

But don't let your hatred make you do something

that you will regret.

We have time.

-I want him.

Now.

-I can't give him to you.

Even if he is guilty, he has rights.

-He has nothing.

Lori's mother, she was the gentlest,

most beautiful women.

She was more than beautiful.

She brought light back into my life.

When she died, I promised to watch over her daughter.

-Everett, there are courts.

Laws.

-MacLeod, look at this place.

You've been around long enough to know that the rich aren't

bound by the law.

They own it.

-Mercenaries?

-My staff, my brothers.

We fought together on three continents, then they

retired with me.

Lori is like a daughter to them.

They won't leave without justice.

-This isn't justice.

This is vengeance.

-If it were your woman he raped, what would you do?

Is this animal worth endangering

everyone in the chateau?

-Then let them go.

-I have no desire to harm the innocent, MacLeod.

-But you will.

-Their safety doesn't depend on me.

It depends on you.

-Mac, check it out.

-Is that your Jeep outside?

-Sure it is.

why?

-We're leaving.

-You just arrived.

-Yes.

And you're coming with us.

-I am?

-What's going on?

-Apparently there's some lunatic outside who claims I

raped his daughter.

-Did you?

-Of course he didn't.

The police will take care of this.

-There is no time.

-It's dead.

-Yes.

Let's go.

-Well, maybe if Mark and I talked to him.

-If you go outside with Mark, he dies.

-Huh.

You're not serious.

You don't actually think this old guy's--

-Allan, listen to Duncan.

If he says we're in danger, we are.

-OK?

Let's go.

Let's go.

-All over some crazy, old man.

[explosion]

-Ah.

-Go back.

[explosions]

DUNCAN [OFFSCREEN]: Get back.

RICHIE [OFFSCREEN]: Come on.

Quickly.

Come on, get out of here.

-This is unbelievable.

Those crazy bastards could have killed us all.

-I can't see them.

Why aren't they coming?

-They'll come.

We don't have much time.

-To do what, pray?

-You have any guns in the house?

-Uh, no.

None.

-Then we have to make due with what we have?

-But with what?

-We need to seal off most of the house.

-The back door.

-We can't defend this place.

-Mark, be quiet.

-All right, barricade the windows.

The windows, start with those.

-Mark, help me with this.

-If they're armed, there's a hell of a field of fire in

front of the chateau.

We'll let the fog settle.

-Boil as much oil as you can.

-Allan, this one needs strengthening.

ALLAN [OFFSCREEN]: Yes, of course.

Will this due?

-Yeah.

Are you finished yet?

MARK [OFFSCREEN]: Yeah.

-OK, I need your help in the back room to barricade it.

Start over there.

Richie?

RICHIE [OFFSCREEN]: Yeah, I'm here.

-We need a hand.

-Where do you want it?

-Uh, that back window.

Pile as many boxes up against it as you can.

All right, perfect.

Let's go.

-I want him alive.

And you, you fire when I tell you to fire.

-[inaudible].

OK, pull that end.

Tie it off to that leg there.

-Do you know this guy?

-Not personally.

I've known others like him.

-Is he crazy?

-No.

-If he gets Mark, would he--

-He's not going to get Mark.

-My son didn't rape his daughter.

You think he did, don't you?

-What matters is that they think he did.

-You don't have to stay.

This isn't your fight.

-Pull that a little tighter.

-I keep thinking I should ask you to leave.

The truth is, I'm not really that brave.

We don't have a chance without you.

-And I thought it was because you liked my company.

-Thank you.

-They're coming.

[screaming]

-I can't believe all this is over that mousy blonde bitch.

-What'd you say?

-Nothing.

-You did rape her.

-Now, you prove that.

-Well, first you said you didn't know her.

Now, you said she was blonde.

How'd you know she was blonde?

-Well, I don't know.

I guessed.

What?

Yeah.

DUNCAN [OFFSCREEN]: Richie, down.

[gunshots]

DUNCAN [OFFSCREEN]: Hey, soldier.

[gunshots]

-That bastard could have killed me.

-Good.

-Well, what the hell does that mean?

-Do you two think you can keep from killing each other?

Well, do you?

-Yes.

-I'll check the rest of the chateau.

-Congratulations, MacLeod.

You're a hell of am opponent.

-What do you want?

-What I've always wanted.

Last chance.

-Go home, Everett.

-Go.

Over there.

-Fan out.

Go around the back.

-Need anything?

-Yes.

How about a week in the Riviera?

-It's a date.

Remember, after you pull the cord, don't wait around.

And step carefully through the doorways.

It will be all right.

-Is this what war is like?

I don't like it.

-Neither do I. You all right?

-[sigh].

Ah.

-Don't move.

-Ah.

[yelling]

[grunting]

-Ah.

[gunshots]

[gunshots]

-Ah!

Ugh.

[gunshots]

[yelling]

[yelling]

[yelling]

[whistle blowing]

-Is anyone hurt?

-Only my pride.

-I'm OK.

I think.

-I'm fine.

-We kicked their asses, or what?

You see them running.

-We got lucky.

-What do you mean lucky?

-We surprised them.

We won't get a second chance.

-At least we are safe.

For now.

-You don't belong here.

So take me home.

-Lori.

Brenner.

-Not Brenner.

You, Daddy.

You take me home.

-Lori.

LORI [OFFSCREEN]: Let's go.

-You know I can't do that.

-Why?

Are you too busy defending my honor?

-Look, I don't want to discuss it.

-You raped that girl.

He admitted it.

-You're a liar.

-I'm not so sure.

-What?

Are you going to take his word over mine?

-Did you rape her?

-Ow.

-Come on, I'm going [inaudible].

-Mark.

[screaming]

-She was asking for it.

What did she expect?

She knew where we were going.

You should-- you should have seen her jump in the car to

impress her friends.

-Don't.

-She changed her mind.

-Oh, come on.

Please.

-Did she ask you to stop?

-Please stop.

-What world do you live in?

That-- that's just part of the game.

-Like hell it is.

-This is no game, Mark.

-Help.

-People are dead because of you.

-Look, what's the big deal?

She-- she's nobody.

I wasn't even the first.

[screaming]

-If you could only see what you've become.

-I'm your son.

You can take care of this.

You can take care of everything.

You're a diplomat.

You, you have immunity.

And you always--

I'm sorry.

-If you're going to commit murder, let's at least be

honest about why.

-Lori.

-This isn't about me.

And don't tell me it's about keeping some stupid

promise to my mother.

-I loved your mother.

-This isn't about love.

It's about you.

And your dumb vanity.

The great [inaudible]

couldn't stand it that his daughter was raped.

He has to have his revenge.

That's what this is about.

Not love or justice.

And it's not my revenge.

It's yours.

-You don't understand.

-What don't I understand?

That I was raped?

He's not worth it.

If you can kill him, they'll send you to prison.

I'll lose you too.

Come home with me.

-I'm sorry.

-Then I'll get the police.

They'll stop you.

-Brenner.

Lock her inside.

-The guy's got everything.

Brains, money, looks.

I don't get it.

-Well, somewhere along the line, he figured he could get

away with anything.

-But still, Mac.

That's no excuse.

I keep thinking if I had a kid.

-Come on.

You'll do fine.

Are you ready?

-Duncan wants us to take our places.

-We have to leave now.

-You can't.

-Everett just wants us.

He has no reason to harm you if we're not here.

-What if he catches you?

ALLAN [OFFSCREEN]: Listen, we make it

through, we'll send help.

-There are men with guns out there.

-Tessa.

It's time we took responsibility for ourselves.

-Allan, don't.

Mark and Allan are making a run for it.

-They won't get past Everett's men.

Take this.

Barricade yourselves inside this room and shoot anybody

that comes through those doors.

DUNCAN [OFFSCREEN]: Go back.

-Mark.

[gunshots]

-Ah.

[gunshots]

-No.

[gunshots]

-Allan.

Allan.

He's still alive.

Let's get him back to the house.

-He's OK.

DUNCAN [OFFSCREEN]: Come on.

Get him up.

-You'll be OK.

-Come on.

-OK.

-Give me the gun.

Come on.

Go.

-What?

-Go.

TESSA [OFFSCREEN]: He's not breathing well.

I can hardly feel his pulse.

-He's going into shock.

We've got to get him to a hospital.

Richie.

-No bullets in the gun.

It's empty.

-I should go get some help.

-There's the door.

-Now's not the time to go playing hero.

-Look, my father's dying.

I--

I've got to do something.

-You want to do something for him?

You stay alive.

That is what all this is about.

I'm not going to let you throw away a life

that he's paid for.

Do you understand?

-Everett.

Come on, Everett.

I know you can hear me.

-You killed a good man, MacLeod.

-Five, Everett.

You man in the house is gone, too.

And the boy's father will die without medical attention.

-Then give me the son.

-Haven't you had enough of death?

Can't you stop this insanity?

No one else has to die.

-It's too late.

-Duncan.

-We stay here, Allan dies.

Tell Richie to keep an eye on Mark.

And if they get by--

-This is all absurd.

Allan's shot.

Mark--

-We'll have a good story to tell.

-If we live to tell it.

I'm scared, Duncan.

I've got this feeling more people are going to die.

-Love you.

[grunting]

-I want that gun.

Give me the gun.

-This gun?

What are going to do with it, big shot?

Take them all on?

I nearly had my brain splattered all over the place

because you're such a--

-What?

-Forget about it.

-You think I'm afraid?

-I think you were right before.

We have nothing in common.

There's no point in talking.

-I'm not a coward.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Whatever you say.

-I am not a coward.

-Look, I heard you the first time.

And I don't give a damn what you are.

-Did you hear that?

-What?

-It came from in there.

-Wait here.

Ah!

LORI [OFFSCREEN]: Help Help.

Let me out.

-I'm coming.

I'm coming.

[knocking]

LORI [OFFSCREEN]: Let me out.

Hurry, please.

-Who are you?

-I need a doctor.

Do you have the keys to this thing?

-Where's my father?

-You're her.

-Where is he?

-I'll have to hot wire it.

-Hey, you better stay with me.

-I could shot you, then take your head.

-You could, but you won't.

-I suppose it had to come to this eventually.

-No, it didn't.

-I told you not to interfere, MacLeod.

Now I have to go through you.

[grunting]

-Will you let this madness be over?

-No.

-Do it.

Kill him.

-Put the gun down.

-Lori, don't.

Don't!

[gunshots]

-I'll have to take them to the hospital right away.

-OK.

Thank you.

-Is he going to be OK?

-I think so.

I want to be with him when he finds out about Mark.

-We got to get going.

-What about Everett and his daughter?

-They'll run, hide, try to forget.

-Will they?

-We never do.
