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.

If you want to be the last, you better spend more time preparing, Cortan.

Just as long as you're not the last one, Miraz.

Here, Kortan. You're forgetting the rule.

Your rule, Yashoda. Not mine.

Leave the temple at once.

In the end, there can be only one.

And that will be me.

Yashoda, my thanks.

You may not fight the final battle in this temple.

This rules for you also, Ramirez.

You provoked Kortan.

But... The temple is closed to you as well, Ramirez.

I never returned to that place.

I never saw Yashoda again.

Except one other time.

The day the immortals swore their solemn oath.

But why?

He saved your life.

Because he's still angry. He didn't like being kicked in.

Tell me about Yashoda, Ramirez.

Yashoda is a master of the art of combat, Quentin. No other equals him.

He is also very wise.

Why does he want to live so high up there and so far away?

He prefers to be far away from the world.

To get away from the dreadful sight of human vanity.

So what's up there anyway?

Nothing, except the temple where Yashoda and his disciples live.

Oh, great.

This should be lots of fun.

Yashoda is totally demanding of himself.

He expects no less from anyone.

He won't give you an inch, believe me.

Listen, do you hear that?

Help! Someone, please help!

Help me!

What was that?

There, look.

Help me.

Help.

No help for you this time, Lothar.

Look out.

Come on, let's go.

We'll be back, Lothar.

How is he?

He'll be all right.

He took a few blows, but nothing serious.

You can continue on your way, friend.

They said they'd be back for me.

Don't leave me. Why are they after you?

I, uh, I don't know.

Take me with you. With us? You don't even know where we're going.

I know these mountains.

I can be your guide.

All right, but we're going all the way up to the top. I don't care. I'm coming.

I was afraid of that.

What is it?

We're being followed.

Come on.

Ride with me.

Thank you, Ramune.

Everything is going as planned.

Look at me. I'm as free as a bird.

And you, the Highlander.

But I don't have a choice, Lothar.

Yes, I know. You told me defeat Cortan, save the world.

You can't the way you're going about it.

Believe me. We're changing our route.

But there is no other route.

There's an old refuge up there. We can reach it by cutting cross -country.

That way.

Our mounts won't make it.

Your friends are following us, Lothar. We need to throw them off our trail.

From now on, we'll cover our tracks.

You take charge of that.

If you only knew what he was telling me. He's really seen a lot.

As you know.

You have to understand what it means for me to meet you, Shota.

Have you got any idea what's waiting for you up there? No.

Well, if you knew, maybe you'd be in a little less hurry to get there.

Everything's quiet.

The fog's so thick you can't even see the smoke from the fire.

I'll get some wood. Tell me something, Lothar.

Why do you have half a dozen men chasing you?

Me? Who says they're after me?

Maybe they're hunters.

You know, Lothar says that all this isn't worth it. What isn't worth it?

Well, he said man doesn't need the knowledge that Yashoda's going to pass

me. Is that a fact?

Try and understand this.

Yashoda is the most accomplished among us.

I... And believe me, what Yashoda is going to teach you is badly needed by

mankind.

Wyatt, go.

Well?

He's hard to break.

Ramirez still has a lot of influence over the Highlander. The Master was

of that.

Your orders ought to hurry things up.

They're up there!

Why are they waiting to attack?

Catch!

Here, put this on.

Pretend to be fighting.

I want them to think McCloud's training. I'm going to surprise them.

Huh?

Hey, Lothar, get a grip on yourself. We're supposed to be faking it.

They're gone.

Show us what you're made of, Highlander.

Very good, McCloud.

I can see you don't need anybody, Highlander.

Did you see them?

No. I think that... Where did you get this sword?

I know this sword.

It almost killed me.

All right, friend.

Kortan sent you, didn't he? And the men following us, they're hunters.

Aren't they?

Quentin, I swear it's not true.

I'm your friend.

You're a spy.

Stop it, Ramirez. Let him go.

Quentin, he's Cortan's spy.

A spy?

The spies are up there.

And who are you to talk?

You let them get away.

Are you blind, McCloud?

Can't you see you're being manipulated?

I know what I'm doing.

Well, if you say so.

You're out of your mind, Quentin.

Clyde. Don't worry.

They'll be back.

Ramirez, we can't leave Quentin.

Hmm.

You really think it's Cortan and the hunters?

Sooner or later, we'll see Cortan's hand in all this.

Look over there.

Lothar's already managed to poison Quentin's mind. But he has to realize

for himself.

The stone is under here.

You just got no luck, Basil.

Take my word for it, Quentin. You know all you need to already.

Look around.

All these men?

Give the word and they follow you like that.

And with you leading them, you could overthrow Kortan if you want.

It's not just a matter of wanting, Lothar.

Let me show you what I mean.

Look at that big one there.

Start something with him. I don't think that's a good idea.

Go on, you'll see.

How's it going?

Everything's fine now, but it was close.

Ramirez recognized my sword.

We need a man like you, McCloud.

What do you think, men?

Yes! Yes!

What did I tell you? You've got them eating out of your hands.

They'll do whatever you want.

But there's not enough of them.

This is just the first village.

There'll be others coming to join them.

Your force will just get bigger and bigger.

Look.

Ramirez! Come in.

You're very polite all of a sudden.

Where's Clyde?

Safe with one of the village women, McCloud.

Have you forgotten why you're here?

You don't have to answer to him.

I haven't forgotten a thing.

Who's that?

What do you want?

That's enough.

Quiet. Don't you see what you're doing?

Don't you remember when the hunters took the Dundee village?

That has nothing to do with what's going on here.

And don't start telling me what I've got to do.

Oh, I wouldn't do any such thing.

You're getting such good advice from your friends.

You'll defeat Cortan with your army.

Your army.

Listen, all of you.

I'm taking command of the village.

Long live MacLeod!

Now we have to convince the people of the Great Lake.

Why bother convincing them? It would be easier to conquer them.

The men are waiting for your order, Cloud.

Tell them there'll be a meeting at the village entrance.

And come armed.

He's gone too far this time.

Forward!

Those people have to be warned.

Clyde, you wait here.

McCloud will attack from the lake side.

The lake? What's the price?

Forward!

Never mind.

We'll go around and attack from the mountainside.

That's odd.

The explosion should have made them come running out.

What are we waiting for? No.

No, I can't.

Lothar, I... Look!

They're trying to get away!

For what?! No!

No!

Stop!

Lothar, we've got to stop them! Help me!

Solve your own problems, Makar.

Listen to me!

So the whole thing was a setup, right from the start.

Right from the start.

Lothar is quite an actor.

And the others, too.

You could not resist the temptation of power, Highlander.

I'm sorry, Yashoda.

I was a fool.

What's the point of defeating Kortan only to replace him with another Kortan?

I... Yashoda, he realized his error in time.

True. But who knows if he will be able to overcome such weaknesses in the

future. I'll always be at his side. It will not happen again.

You, Ramirez?

I don't remember you being the model student.

Ramirez did everything he could to talk me out of it.

I'm the only one to blame.

Yashoda, I need your wisdom.

You are not ready for it yet.

You mean you refuse to perform the quickening?

You were mistaken, Ramirez.

You brought him here too soon.

I can't take the risk of him becoming another Kortan.

Only ten times more powerful.

But... It's for you to judge, Yashoda.

Highlander, I will give you a second chance, but only after you have received

the knowledge of all the other Jettators.

Thank you, Yashoda.

My knowledge is the key to all the others.

Without it, they will all be useless to you. I will remember.

Always.

Seagull?

They should have listened to us.

We knew there was something funny about that Lothar.

It's a thing.

It was all a setup right from the start.

I let myself be fooled like...

Like... Like a child?

Right for once, Highlander. Just like a child.
