Seven centuries have passed since the earth plunged into darkness. Seven

centuries since the Jephthah swore to regain for man his lost knowledge and

freedom. All the immortals took the oath. All except one who dominates the

world. But soon an immortal will come to confront him. His name is Quentin

MacLeod. He is the Highlander.

Someone's still following us.

Don't worry.

Nobody can follow us where we're headed.

Not even the hunters.

So where exactly are we headed?

And who is this mysterious Jeditor I'm supposed to meet?

Just stay sharp. We're almost there. The Tuhars have probably spotted us

already.

You're holding us up.

Three strangers are approaching, master.

One man and two children.

And they're being followed by the hunters of Moganda.

What does the man look like? He's big and he's wearing a long red cape.

Him, Faraz.

The one who will guide the Highlander to the Sandman.

Seven centuries, Faraz.

After seven centuries, here they are.

Finally. You, bring them here. You, deal with the hunters.

Leave it to me, master.

Well, we've lost their tracks. The wind has covered everything up.

No, wait!

You're a wreck, aren't you?

Who are you? My master has often spoken about you, Iraq.

Welcome, Ramirez.

You are Ramirez, are you not? So my mother called me.

And you are Asuon, the chief of the Tuhars?

This is Quentin MacLeod.

Welcome, Highlander.

I'm his sister, Clyde.

Welcome to you also, Clyde.

Ah,

all of my people are like this, Clyde.

Don't be afraid.

There's someone following us, Aswan.

I know.

Don't worry.

Ferraz, one of my men, is taking care of it.

So, you work for Asclepios, do you? What have you got that might interest me?

Would the Highlander's head interest you?

I'm listening.

They've come here to meet the Sandman.

Cortan will want to know.

The Sandman?

We'd better leave now.

The sooner we get finished with this, the better.

First, I would like to make sure that this young man is the one we've been

waiting for. Are you ready to prove your immortality?

You don't trust us?

We are the Lookouts.

We will guide only the Highlanders to the Sandman.

This serpent will attack anyone but me.

And her bite is fatal.

Touch her.

Don't talk, Quentin.

Are you convinced now?

Yes.

You are Quentin McCloud.

But to be honest, there was no risk.

She only attacks at my order.

The Sandman.

You mean Prometheus?

Yes, Lord Cortan.

Faraz would lead us right to him. And to the Highlander.

Below.

Below!

Nothing but this left.

Left with what?

What happened here, Ramirez?

What happened?

This was once a glorious garden, McCloud.

Flowers of all colors and fruits everywhere.

And then man invented the atomic bomb.

The what?

Ah, the bomb alone.

Prometheus knows the secrets of atomic power.

I must have this wonderful bomb alone.

The Highlander wants it too, Lord Cortan.

But I will have it.

And then my power will have no limit.

Imagine a weapon so powerful it could destroy an entire city, even Maganda,

in seconds.

Before the great catastrophe, man tried it out on a country called Japan.

the single most destructive weapon ever invented. It can incinerate a forest

dozens of miles from where it explodes.

I saw what it can do.

Where a city once stood, there was nothing. The people of Nagasaki were

one moment and then gone the next.

This weapon terrifies even me.

This is it.

This is the old military base.

They're still here.

Ready for death and destruction.

My mission stops here.

The Sandman will know you have arrived.

He will contact you. Thank you, my friend.

Good luck, Highlander. May you fulfill your destiny.

He's here, finally.

But the Highlander is still so young. I hope

he mustn't see me in this state.

Where is Prometheus?

What's this?

It would take too long to explain.

These instruments showed images from life.

I've never seen anything like it. How does it work?

There. Look.

These are the pictures of this region before the great catastrophe.

This is what... caused the earthquake.

And then, there were massive atomic explosions.

Ah!

Why are you showing me this?

Because these are the secrets you must learn. This is the terrible knowledge

that Prometheus must pass on to you. It's horrible!

I don't want that sort of knowledge.

You refuse.

You will never be able to control it.

Imagine if these secrets fell into Cortan's hands.

He's here.

Quentin McCloud.

I've waited a great many years for this moment.

Finally, you will set me free.

Prometheus? No, Ramirez.

No closer. What's the matter? What has happened to you?

It was the fallout, Ramirez.

After the great catastrophe, the radiation filtered into the base.

My body has been subjected to radiation for seven centuries.

I'm not human anymore.

Look what's happened to him, Ramirez.

It's awful.

And this is the knowledge you want me to have?

Never. Do you hear me? I don't want it. Ever.

Come on, Clyde. Let's get out of here.

McCloud. Wait.

Knowledge can be dangerous.

But wisdom is understanding how to avoid even greater danger.

I don't care, Ramirez.

Quentin, I swear to you.

No, you can't leave.

I must be set free.

Did you take care of Cortan's men, Ferraz?

I took care of everything.

I'll sue on.

Good. Now we have finally achieved our mission.

Quite. But we will soon enough.

Firas?

Where

is

he? Find him, Ramirez. I beg you, find him.

I can't hold out much longer.

What do you mean?

I'm in too much pain.

The radiation has destroyed my body.

But you're immortal.

Do you really think that helps, Ramirez?

My immortality has become my prison.

Because of it, I have no hope of ever ending this pain and suffering.

Sometimes pain is so great that I would do anything to stop it.

Anything? What's that?

Someone has broken the vase.

I am your humble servant, O Lord Hortus.

Are you a spy for Asclepios?

Yes, Lord Cortan.

Here is the key to the fortress.

What are you doing, Quentin?

Are you listening to me?

I'm thinking about Prometheus.

He's waited seven centuries.

That takes a lot of courage.

Don't tell me you're changing your mind.

No, of course not.

What is this?

This is what you use to betray the man who trusted you? Give it to me, Hunter.

You know what would make me happy?

If one day you did the same to Asclepios.

Give it back to me, Iraq.

Uh, no.

No! What a pity.

You won't have the chance to betray another master, Faraz.

Wait for me here.

I'm going alone.

And that? What does it mean?

Maybe Quentin and Clyde are on their way back.

This time, Ramirez, you must convince him. It wasn't Quentin who opened the

airlock.

I've come for your knowledge, Prometheus.

To complete my power.

You won't get it, Cortan.

Quentin!

Cortan, he's here.

Look at you, Prometheus.

The radiation has turned you into a monster.

He wants the knowledge Prometheus has.

But he won't get it, Quentin.

Give it to him.

Where's the Highlander?

Maybe he doesn't want your secrets after all.

Does it hurt, Prometheus?

Too bad the Highlander has run away.

And nobody can set you free.

Except you.

I fulfilled my mission. I deserve mercy.

No. No!

Leave me alone, Ramirez!

You can't give the knowledge to him.

I can. I kept my word.

I was ready to pass my knowledge to the Highlander. It was he who refused.

I can't bear this pain anymore.

Don't listen, Quentin.

Let's get out of here.

He's going to give the secrets of the bomb to Cortan.

Come on.

Please.

I have the right to be free.

You're right, Prometheus.

I will set you free.

I accept your knowledge.

You think it's so simple, Highlander? You want it, and you get it, but you

haven't even learned how to fight, McCloud.

You're nothing but a cowardly child.

For once in your life, fight like a Highlander, if you dare.

No, you're not ready. You haven't got a chance.

He hasn't got a choice.

He must accept my challenge this time.

You cannot make him, Cortan.

Who would I can?

Watch me.

Where's he going?

I don't...

He's

in the missile launching room.

Come if you don't want to see the Highland wiped out by this wonderful

No! He needs your knowledge, Prometheus.

Give it to him.

Quentin McCloud, may the knowledge be shared.

No, it's not, Ramirez.

Now I know.

Stop.

That's the ignition button.

No, it's the guidance system.

But I need to do something first.

No.

What is he doing?

He's... He's programming another missile. Another missile? Has he gone

No.

Maybe not.

I'm scared, Ramirez.

Me too, Clyde. Me too.

No, you can't do that.

Both missiles have been destroyed.

Harmlessly.

Well done, Highlander. I knew you could do it. I knew it.

Free. I'm finally free.

I better put some distance between you and Quartan. I'll hold him back for a

while.

What are you going to do?

That's not important. Go, Highlander.

Complete your mission.

Farewell, Prometheus.

McCloud.

Before you go, I want you to see my face, so you will never forget the

Atomic Power is capable of.

Goodbye, Prometheus.

What Prometheus wanted, Ramirez. I swear, I will never pass this knowledge

anyone. Thank goodness for that.
