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.

Where do you think you're going, my friend? To the throne room. I must speak

Lord Kortan.

You think Lord Kortan would waste his time with you? What do you want?

I want to rid the world of him.

He has to be here somewhere.

Church the whole floor.

I want him found.

Well?

Did you find him?

Negative. I want him found!

Now!

A lot of people must have lived here before the great catastrophe.

It was a huge place.

One of the most important cities in the country.

Why aren't there any trees?

The city is situated on a fault line.

Earthquakes are frequent occurrences.

Plant life is unable to flourish here.

Why does he live here?

The hunters don't come to this region often because of the earthquakes.

In the flattened city, he can be sure no one will bother him.

Hmm, very clever, this Dr. Matsuda.

Kortan challenging me to a duel sheer madness

I was getting tired of waiting

Not smart.

You

must

die, Cortan.

You must die, Cortan. You must die, Cortan.

cyborg.

It's so huge.

It's the central railway station, or what's left of it anyway.

Welcome to our simple home. Would you please follow me?

Matsuda made that?

A teleoperated cyborg, of course. Remember, he's the genitor of

Cyber what?

Cybernetics is making machines think and look like people.

That doesn't look like anybody I know.

Well, have you found anything?

There, I feel something. Look.

There seems to be some kind of identification on it.

Excellent. Now I know where the cyborg comes from.

Welcome to my simple home.

Matsuda, it's good to see you. I see you're as busy as ever. I have had time

the last 700 years to perfect my inventions.

Now I can construct actual cyborgs.

Look, the hands are the hardest to do. This one.

is perfect.

What happened to your arm?

I lost it fighting Cortan.

I was able to get away, but he still covets my knowledge.

Naturally.

Matsuda, this is Quentin MacLeod. He is the Chosen One, who will put an end to

Cortan's reign.

Hear a sema say, Hyranda.

My knowledge shall be yours, but first, you must prove that you are worthy of

it. You doubt my courage?

It's his right to test you, McCloud.

You must defeat one of my warrior cyborgs in battle.

Then we will know.

Asclepio says you're leaving for the flattened city, Lord Cortez.

Yes.

Matuda's hiding out there.

Let's hope that this time he won't get away.

He won't get anything.

Except this.

Yeah!

Possibly defeat that monster.

There is a way to begin readiness.

If your protege is as good as you say, he will find it.

Otherwise... You must have a weak point, you junk.

I can just get a hold of the camera.

That's it. An infrared camera guided by my body.

And now let's get it over with, you wunk. Grat, yard.

What do you think of my protégé now, Matsuda?

He is good.

Very good, I must admit.

Well done, McCloud!

Hey, watch out!

Matsuda, what's the meaning of...

I am sorry, Ramirez, but you arrived at the wrong time.

I cannot let you interfere with my plans.

What plans?

Cortan will be here any minute.

If everything has gone according to schedule, my samurai should have given

the clues he needed. He will come for me, and I will take my revenge at last.

Fight Cortan? He took my arm, Ramirez, and I will take his life in exchange.

You're not thinking, Matsuda.

You know that fighting Cortan means betraying the oath of the immortals.

I can't let you do that.

That is why you are in a cage.

Matsuda, I order you to let us out. You are not in a very good position to give

orders at the moment, Ramirez.

I am sorry. I hope you're not counting on that piece of junk to get the better

of Cortan.

You do underestimate me, Hiranda. My knowledge is much greater than you

That cyborg was nothing compared to this one.

Cortan will be up against a machine that is as intelligent and resourceful as a

samurai. As powerful as ten men put together.

An indestructible enemy.

My masterpiece.

A demonstration.

As you wish, master.

I trust him completely.

Kotan.

Right on schedule.

Time to go, hero.

He'll kill you, Matsuda!

This time you won't escape, Matuda.

And your metal puppet won't stop me either.

You may find this one a little more challenging.

It is all yours, kiddo.

Let's just see how challenging you are.

He died fast.

So, what do you think of my warrior?

What's happening?

It's an earthquake.

We've got to get out of here.

The cage moved.

At the next tremor, we can try to bend it apart.

Looks like your little tin slave hasn't found his sea legs.

With an earthquake this large, I must reprogram its stabilizing elements.

Your knowledge is mine now, Matsuda.

There are other immortals here.

We just can't keep a secret from you, Cortan.

Highlander! That's right! And I've got my sea legs.

This is the end, pilots.

Ramirez? You're safe, thank goodness.

Of course, McCloud. What did you expect?

I was blinded by my desire for revenge, Ramirez.

Here is my sword.

May justice be done. You made up for your mistakes by saving our lives.

We're even.

There is one last thing I must do before we say goodbye.

Are you prepared, Highlander?

I'm ready.

Quentin McCloud, on the oath sworn by the Jettitor, I today pass on to you the

knowledge of cybernetics.

May the knowledge be fair!

This is where our paths diverge. May peace go with you and you,

my friend.
