Seven centuries have passed since the earth plunged into darkness.

Seven centuries since the Jettiter 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.

Not bad, young man.

Nice try, but a little clumsy.

Maybe this way.

Quentin!

That trick is called the Spanish Surprise.

It goes back to the 16th century.

more tricks than Quentin.

Why, what a rude little girl you are. But you're right.

Quentin has a lot to learn.

The Spanish surprise.

The 16th century.

Whenever that was supposed to be. I don't care anyway.

What's it got to do with me?

These things are part of your past.

Man's history is your history.

Man's history?

What about my own history?

You don't know about life in the Clan Dundee.

You've never seen the celebrations and the dances that we've been doing since,

well, since forever.

Tell him, Quentin.

Sometimes the celebrations would last all night.

Silence, Malone. I know Ramirez and I know how to outsmart him. Most

oh, all -powerful Lord Cortez.

Ramirez is an old fool.

He is, yes.

Ramirez and his insatiable curiosity and his attachment to the past, his passion

for history.

Yes. From which, according to him, the future

will be born.

That gives me an idea.

Yes,

I've got it.

I know exactly where the old fool is going

to take my cloud next.

Bring a rack.

how the Dundees dance.

I'm sure it is, little one.

I'm laughing because I didn't realize the Dundees were so clever.

Why's that?

Because after Cortan imposed a ban on teaching the art of combat, these

traditional dancers secretly taught the art.

Dundees are really smart.

Hmm. They're not the only ones.

That's why I'm taking you to see Longelay.

A jettitor who remembers all of man's history.

Listen well, Iraq.

Lansley will not have a choice.

He must hand over the Highlanders.

As you wish, Lord Cortan. I'll burn his citadel to the ground if I have to.

See something suspicious, Major?

We've been spotted.

Shall I alert the patrol, Major?

That won't help. These rebels are dangerous and far too smart to be

Forward!

We've got a long way to go.

Take this to Lansley. Immediately.

It's urgent.

Ramirez, can't we rest for a while?

Not yet.

Just a few minutes, Ramirez.

No. We're almost there. I want you to meet Lansley as soon as possible.

This confirms it.

What's going on, Lansley?

That column of hunters we spotted is crossing the burnt forest.

They're heading straight towards us.

Loic!

Over there!

There are more of them.

Hmm.

Those aren't hunters.

Maybe not.

Or maybe it's a trick.

You're right.

Go tell Lansley.

This is the first time that Cortan's henchmen have dared venture this far.

No, Kubera, this is not the first time.

But I thought Cortan had given up.

Given up?

Cortan never gives up trying to destroy those who resist him.

Don't forget, we all escaped from Oganda to come and live here.

Cortan won't stop trying to destroy us.

Perhaps you're right.

My friends.

Time is running out.

We need to organize a defense.

That's right. Yes. Yes.

Absolutely. Quite right.

Better dead than Maganda slaved.

Lanzalee!

Three travelers are approaching.

A man, a boy, and a little girl.

Who could they be?

Probably traitor.

Sound the alert. Make sure everyone is ready.

Right away, Lanzalee.

You bear my breath.

Call a meeting of the council.

Owen, take some men with you. Try to hold back the hunters for as long as you

can.

Right. I'm going with you.

And you, L 'Angelaise?

Go. I have some old defense plans to the city. I want to find them.

Cortez!

Starting again.

What is it?

Where the earth?

Why is it there?

Oh no, not you too.

No, just a little ear trouble.

But something tells me we're almost there.

The council has gathered.

We're waiting for you.

Start without me, Q -Bear. I'll join you when I can.

But, Lancelot, we need you.

You will lead the council in my place.

But I... Do as I say.

Trust me.

Give me those flames!

They belong to Magonda!

From now on, these men and women belong to themselves.

They are free, Cortan.

you waiting for? Go around the ditch. Move it!

Unbelievable.

The monastery.

Before the great catastrophe, men called monks lived here. Men of faith and

discipline.

This is L 'Anse -Alais' home.

Is this where man's history has been preserved?

Don't tell me you're starting to get interested in history.

The mirror.

Ah!

Easy, Quentin.

Don't be alarmed.

We've come to see our friend, Lanzelay.

You say you're a friend of Lanzelay. Since when?

Oh, for a few centuries.

Are you making fun of us? Stop!

It's for the council to decide.

Look, Quentin.

What's that, Ramirez?

That? It's... Silence!

Take me to your chief.

We don't have a chief here, stranger.

Excuse me. I'd like to see Lancelot.

You have to be pretty well informed, my friend, to know that Lanzalee is here.

Indeed I am.

Informed like Cortan's spies.

How dare you? You have to admit that your visit strangely coincides with the

arrival of others who are, how shall I put it, not welcome.

What others?

Or weren't you aware that the hunters are coming?

Cortan.

Ha! So you admit it.

That's enough, Owen.

Ah, Lonsolet, old friend.

It's about time you showed up.

Ramirez!

I thought for an instant that Cortan... Lonsolet,

this is the Highlander.

There are more urgent things at hand, Lancelot. The hunter!

So, this is the Highlander? This boy?

Where's your proof that he's really the one we took the oath for? Tell him,

Ramiro.

I'll do more than that.

You want proof?

Well, here it is.

Well, I admit, this is Connor McCloud's sword.

But how do I know this boy deserves it?

Ah!

Surprise.

16th century, I believe.

The noise

has stopped.

Let's see what it means.

Arthur, stay here.

This silence scares me.

Lousily!

Your city...

minutes to decide.

We can't waste any time, Lanselay.

This way.

We cannot give up the stranger.

Remember, we were all strangers once.

But he doesn't mean anything to us.

Think about our children, Coubert.

We're all going to be destroyed.

We've got to decide, Coubert.

Where's Lanselay?

Lanselay has abandoned us.

That's not true.

If... Watch out!

Mommy!

Arthur!

Arthur!

You're right.

Let's finish this.

My turn to give you a lesson, Highlander.

Rosalie!

giving the order!

Make your arrest.

All resistance has ceased.

The city is ours.

Very good.

Get down to the...

I'm sorry I doubted you and your friend, Lansley.

I... You don't have to apologize, Owen.

I know you were just trying to protect the others.

How did man forget all of these incredible things?

It was Cortan.

Cortan used his power to wipe them from our memory.

So he could control us better.

Yes. In order to know where he's going, man needs to understand where he's been.

Now you know what you have to save for all mankind.

From this day on, Highlander, mankind will be able to continue to write his

history.
