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

centuries since the Jethiter 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.

This is General Potter at the missile base.

The warheads are armed, Mr. President.

The other nations have given their consent.

You can order the firing.

Just remember, if the warheads miss their target, the consequences will be

disastrous. I'm aware of it, Mr. President.

General Bruges?

Waiting for your go -ahead, General Potter. The French missiles are ready.

I'm starting the countdown.

abort the launch immediately.

What? This is Shepard at the Satellite Control Center, Cape Hearth.

Listen to me.

Stop everything immediately.

The satellite data was interpreted incorrectly.

The meteorite isn't going to touch the Earth.

If the warheads are fired, they might miss the target.

Think of what might happen.

But don't fire the warheads!

What's happening?

Cancel the firing of your missile.

The meteorite isn't threatening us after all.

Happy.

I wonder what that was used for.

Cape... Cape Hearth.

Hmm. That must date back to before the Great Catastrophe.

What are they doing so far from Lagonda?

There's no time to find out.

Clyde's waiting for us at the Great Ravine. She'll start to worry if we

get there soon.

Come on.

Don't move!

What have we here?

A couple of spies.

Get up!

That way.

Hey, over here.

I've got a couple of you.

Catch!

Let's see how tough you are now.

Not so tough after all.

He got away.

He's hurt. He won't get far.

Give me a hand. I want to know what's inside.

Incredible. It still functions.

Where's that light coming from?

It must be from a source of energy which survived the great catastrophe.

Satellite control station Cape Hearth. Just as I thought.

A satellite control station?

Yes. To pilot vessels and receive images transmitted by a satellite.

Before the great catastrophe, men learned how to send automated machines

orbit. Artificial satellites.

What for?

Several things.

Scientific or military exploration.

Observation of the surface of the Earth.

Teletransmissions. You mean that from outer space, you could take any picture

you wanted of the Earth?

Exactly.

But then, with this satellite, we could keep an eye on Cortan, set traps for

him, follow him, and even... And who's going to operate the station? You,

Highlander?

There's only one man who really knows how to use it.

An immortal.

Great! Let's find him, and he'll pass his knowledge on to me.

Impossible. Why?

Shepard isn't a jettitor. He didn't take the oath.

He wasn't there at the hill. No one knows where he is. He disappeared after

great catastrophe.

Why didn't he take the oath?

I don't know what.

What's this?

For future generations, if there are any.

A building with a large metal disc on top.

In the jungle.

Affirmative. It's got Cape Hearth written on it.

Cape Hearth.

And inside. We didn't have time to check inside because of the attack, sir.

All right, all right. Go take care of your wounds.

Some sort of enormous metal disc on a building.

An antenna.

Interesting. With an inscription.

Cape Hearth.

Cape Hearth. The station.

Shepard's satellite control station.

Should I have it destroyed?

Are you mad?

I must have that station.

Do you hear me, Iraq?

It must be mine.

Well, what is it? A videotape.

Shepard. Shepard speaking.

In just a few seconds, because of me, the Earth is about to undergo the

cataclysm it has ever known. I failed to interpret the satellite data correctly.

It seems he never forgave himself for that mistake.

That's probably why he didn't come to the hill where we swore the oath.

We believed him to be a coward.

What about all his knowledge, satellites, fate?

How can I learn it?

You can't.

You have plenty of other knowledge to acquire and to share with mankind.

Clyde's waiting for us. Come on, let's go. There's nothing more to be done

No, I'm not a coward.

I should have revealed myself. I should have spoken to the Highlander. But this

error, my error, I can never show myself before them again.

No. I must find them.

I must explain.

I'm going to find you again, MacLeod.

The Highlander's sword!

Thanks to that, I'll be able to find him.

There he is.

What?

No, it's Cortan. He's coming this way.

What does he want?

He's coming to... for the station.

For my knowledge.

Never. I will pass on my knowledge to the Highlander and only the Highlander.

Even if I have to pay for it with my life.

The station is functioning.

That means Shepard isn't far away.

Come on, come on, faster.

Find the Highlander for me.

Ah, the Great Ravine.

Shepard

Clyde!

Quentin!

You two sure took your time.

Clyde, we had a little problem with some hunters.

Hunters?

Don't worry, nothing serious.

Well, let's get out of here now. I've had enough of this jungle.

Shepard. Now, Highlander.

Fight me and win.

Come on.

Fight.

Strike me down.

You have to acquire my knowledge.

Come on.

Defend yourself.

Dog, are you out of your mind?

Ending my life is the only way you can acquire my knowledge. You know that.

Please, I implore you.

Cortan's coming.

Cortan's coming here?

Yes. And if Cortan gets to me, he will know how to use the satellite.

But you must fight me.

Or can't you fight?

Come on!

Do it!

Stop, Shepard!

Death isn't the only solution.

What? If you want to pass on your knowledge to the Highlander, all you

do is take the oath.

Take the oath?

Me? Yes.

As you could have done a long time ago with the rest of us.

Ramirez, I was too ashamed.

The Great Catastrophe was my fault.

It was because of me that everything happened, that Cortan took power.

Your real mistake was not joining us and not believing in our solidarity.

But you can correct that error now.

I, Shepard, give up the right to be the last immortal.

Henceforth, I will refuse to fight a fellow Jettitor. I swear to protect my

knowledge. To share it with the Highlander.

And I accept that I will end my life as a mortal man.

Welcome, Shepard.

You are now a Jeditor.

Kortan will be here soon.

We've got to get away from here fast.

You're right. Let's go.

Thank you, Shepard, for having led me to the Highlander.

You won't escape, McCloud.

No! The quickening! Now!

Quentin McCloud, may the knowledge be shared.

In the end, there can be only one.

Yes, me.

Meet your doom, Highlander.

No, Quentin, no!

Don't do it.

Hang on to the guardrail.

Now.

I'm in the world to learn how to use the satellite.

You'll never escape.

I'll keep after you. Do you hear me, Highlander? I'll hunt you down until you

beg for the end.

Wrong, Cortan.

You'll never be able to use the satellite.

Never!

Thank you very much.
