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

centuries since the Jethiter swore to regain for man his lost knowledge of

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.

If I were you, I'd be careful not to touch that flower.

Well, you're not me.

What's the big deal? It's just a flower.

Perhaps, but you don't know anything about plants.

So? The Acania is a plant which prefers solitude.

Keep going, Quentin. You're almost there.

If you pick it, at least make sure to hold it by the root.

Got it.

That burns.

Let me introduce you to a

cane of fagosa, the flower that burns ten times more painfully than the sting

nettles. All right, Ramirez, we understand.

Never mind, Clyde. You know Ramirez is always right.

He should be. He's been alive forever.

McCloud, you'll soon be introduced to the secrets of a world of botany.

What's botany? The science of plants.

Before the Great Catastrophe, millions of different plants flourished on the

Earth. The knowledge of agriculture helped man to feed bigger and bigger

of people.

Medical research found cures for many diseases in plants.

Scientists like the janitor Sehebi tried to discover the secrets of plant life.

Sehebi?

Where did he live?

Sehebi is one of those who swore to give you their knowledge, McCloud.

So you can give it back to man.

There, the valley where Sahebi lives.

How can trees grow right in the middle of all that ice?

Nature has many tricks, Quentin.

Since the Great Catastrophe, this valley has enjoyed a climate different from

any other on the continent.

Amazing! And this is where Sahebi lives?

He'll be somewhere down here. Come on.

I'd call this a little paradise on earth. This?

What about all these...

Look at those!

What are they, Ramirez?

I don't know.

But something tells me we'd better not stay around here too long.

Come on.

No!

Quentin, the sword!

without you. I said get out of here.

Save your sister.

Quick, Clyde, into the hole.

I'll get you out of there.

McCall, can you hear me?

Ramirez, there are too many. I can't get through.

Find the heavy, Quentin.

He'll know how to get me out of here.

The heavy, where is he? Just find him, Quentin, and quick.

You've got to find... find... the heavy.

What?

Stop wasting time.

Climb up.

Who are you?

Later. Now we have to get out of here.

Just made it. Now where are you going?

I have to get my sister.

Wait, you can't go back there.

Go.

Isn't anybody happy to see me?

Where did he come from?

I don't know, but it's a good thing he showed up.

I'm Dwan.

I'm Klai.

Enough chatter.

We've got to get Ramirez out of there.

Dwan, do you know a man called Sahebi?

Sahebi? No, I don't know him.

This is very important, Dwan.

Take me to him.

No, Sahebi is taboo. Go near him and he'll kill you, like he killed your

Ramirez isn't dead, Dwan.

Only Sahebi can free him.

Sahebi is a sorcerer.

He's the one who made the deadly thorns with his magic.

He wants to kill the sky people.

The sky people?

My people.

Take us to your people, Dwan.

Okay.

Chief is being removed.

And when we change chiefs, we tell the story of the sky people.

The dance tells about the ancient times when my people fell from the sky. One

day a magician arrived.

He guided my people out of the valley.

Hunter!

Shh! You're going to get us caught!

The heavy had led my people into a trap.

Straight to the hunter.

He handed them over to the hunter?

Some of them were able to take refuge in the forest.

But without meaning to, they had crossed into the Valley of the Deadly Thorns.

Enough!

Do you remember now, Aiden?

Or do we have to wait until the thorn pods have destroyed us completely?

Sit down, Turgus.

Anger is leading you astray.

No.

There's only one way to conquer Sahebi's magic.

Burn him out.

Liquid fire will destroy the thorn pods and the heavy along with them.

No.

You chose me to be your leader?

Listen to what I say.

If we burn the valley, we will destroy ourselves.

Even if we escape being burned by the fire, we'll all die of starvation.

You're dirty.

That's the real truth.

You're scared to face the heavy in the thorn pod. Yeah, burn the thorn pod. Go

on, burn them. Burn the thorn pod.

God, burn them.

No, that's madness.

Let me find the heavy.

I'll make him destroy them.

You, Aiden, you don't have a chance.

Who would be fool enough to fight with you?

I would. I'll fight beside you, Aiden.

Who are you? What are you doing here?

I'm Quentin MacLeod, the last of the MacLeods.

He's with me.

Dwan! By what right do you bring a stranger into the village?

Uh, but the Thompods took his friend in.

Dwan should not have brought you here.

A stranger cannot.

I'm the only one who can make the heavy pay for his treachery.

I say let the stranger come with me.

Give us two days.

Just... Two days.

Agreed, Aiden.

You've got 48 hours and not a minute more.

To free my friend, I've got to find Sahebi. And then I have to fight him and

win.

Sahebi is a powerful magician, you know.

I'm ready. I won't be defeated.

Ah, almost there.

The idea of leaving your people alone worries me. They're afraid, Quentin.

It's not that. I just don't trust Turgis.

No, Turgis, we can't. Stop shaking, Gwyn. I'm getting the liquid fire with

without you.

But you promised Aiden two days.

We can't afford to wait. The thorn pods must be destroyed. Are you coming or

not? All right, I'll come.

Liquid fire?

What are they talking about, Duran?

They're going to burn the valley, Clyde. Burn the valley?

But Quentin and the chief, we have to warn them.

There.

This is Sahebi's home.

I'll make him pay for what he's done.

From here on, we have to go by foot.

What is all this?

Phew.

McCloud, a monster?

There, it's in that machine.

Don't move.

It's the machine that makes it look big.

It's a red phasma.

A what?

At one time, there were thousands of these in the valley.

Do you think that Zehebi knows the secret to the thorn pod?

What's the matter?

Nothing. It's just... The Jeditor. He's here.

Who are you?

What are you doing in my house?

Zehebi.

So, the Highlander. I knew you would come one day.

Then you also knew you could not escape me.

Zehebi, I've come to get what you swore to give me.

Your knowledge.

But I... And to make you pay for your treachery. Lower that sword, boy.

Didn't Ramirez teach you any manners?

Ramirez is a prisoner of the Thornpot.

Your doings, Zehebi.

Mine? You betrayed the oath of the Jeditor.

You're mad.

Take your sword, Zehebi.

Defend yourself.

I never betrayed my oath.

You're a traitor.

I was only trying to help.

By using the thorn pods to destroy them? I am not a magician.

I'm just a botanist.

Prove it!

It's the phasmas, Highlander.

It's because the phasmas have disappeared.

Don't you see?

The phasmas used to eat the thorn pods.

They kept the flowers from becoming... Wait,

Quentin. What he says is true. The red phasmas have disappeared from the

Are you sure?

Maybe he's not lying.

Aiden, you know I'm not lying.

There's been a terrible misunderstanding.

Quentin!

What are you doing?

Can't I guess he's going to burn the forest?

What? But he promised not to...

He's left for the airship. He's going to get the liquid fire.

Kerosene? The man must be insane.

Duan, you and Clyde, go warn the tribe.

Come on, let's go to the airship.

There it is, Gwyn.

This is the last container.

That could be enough.

Let's go, Turgis. I don't like this place.

What? Listen to your friend.

It's the sorcerer.

He's here.

Have you come to kill us, sorcerer?

You're wrong, Turgus.

The heavy is not our enemy.

Look, the bees.

They give the warning that the thorn pods are near.

You will no longer hurt the sky people.

The heavy is not a traitor.

He's a friend of the hunter.

No, Turgus. He never meant to abandon the tribe to the hunter.

Silence. Did you hear that?

It's just the wind, you crazy old man.

Thornpot!

Watch out!

That's all I need.

The Acania burns like fire.

Stay behind. I'll try to stop them.

There's one other way.

The quickening.

You've got to receive my knowledge, Hyrule.

Heavy. I know.

Now I know.

The phasmas. I know where the red phasmas are.

Are you sure?

They haven't come down from the cave where they breed.

Yes. Something must have prevented them from... It's the snow. It covered the

entrance. They're still hibernating.

There must have been an avalanche. We have to clear the entrance.

You see? There they are.

You were right.

They are waking up. We did it.

We did it. We did it.

Quentin? Is that you?

Welcome back, Ramirez.

I never slept so well in my life.

I'm glad to see you again, Ramirez.

Ramirez needs to recover his strength.

Let him follow us to the village.

Zehebi? Yes?

I wanted to say that, uh... I mean... Well, I hope you'll come with us.

Why? Our people must learn to live in the forest.

You know a lot of things.

You think so?

Terrigan, have you ever heard of agriculture?

Agriculture? No.
