JOE DAWSON NARRATING: He is immortal, born in the

Highlands of Scotland 400 years ago.

He is not alone.

There are others like him--

some good, some evil.

For centuries he has battled the forces of darkness with

holy ground his only refuge.

He cannot die unless you take his head-- and

with it, his power.

In the end, there can be only one.

He is Duncan MacLeod.

The Highlander.

[MUSIC - QUEEN, "PRINCES OF THE UNIVERSE"]

QUENTEN BARNES [OFFSCREEN]: Well, well.

The vulture are all here.

-Quenten Barnes, the hour is late.

In his name, may I pray for you?

-No.

But maybe you could get him to take my place.

Hey, priest, come here.

Come here!

-Yes?

-Something to remember you by.

-Pray, my son.

Consider where you will spend eternity.

-Eternity?

Oh, yes.

[laughs]

-In nomine Patri, et Filii, Spiritus Sanctum Deus.

May God have mercy on your soul.

Amen.

[electricity crackling]

[laughing maniacally]

[train horn in distance]

-Great.

Tattoos, triple X-chromosomes everywhere you look.

It's like watching a great kung fu flick.

-It's an art, Richie.

It's good for your soul.

-Yeah, well, personally I'd rather catch a movie.

-Ah, it's a hell of a lot safer, that's for damn sure.

-Nice place you got here.

-It'll do.

Who sent you?

-Nobody.

I just was looking for a place to work out.

-Well, I'd like to help you boys out, but this is a

private club.

Invitation only.

-So invite me.

-You look in decent shape.

But trust me, you stay around here, maybe all you're going

to do is get your butt kicked.

-Maybe we should talk to the owner.

-You're looking at him.

-Well, place is for sale.

Business must be booming, huh?

-Uh, he always mouth off like that?

-[CHUCKLING] Only when he might be right.

-I tell you what.

You pass the initiation, I'll sign you boys up.

-Cool.

What's the initiation?

-Not what, Richie.

Who.

After you.

-[laughs]

-A date, man.

I knew I should have gone on a date.

-You gotta do better than that.

-Hey!

Now that's better.

-If you say so.

Submit.

May I join now?

-Any time.

-Thanks.

I'll be right back.

-Take your time, Mac.

MALE SPEAKER [OFFSCREEN]: Hey, Charlie!

There's no hot water again.

-It's still wet, ain't it?

-I was wondering when I'd see you again.

JOE DAWSON [OFFSCREEN]: I'd like to explain, MacLeod.

-Don't bother.

What do you want?

-You know anything about an Immortal named Quenten Barnes.

-I know he was executed 30 years ago.

-For murdering two young women.

He stayed buried until they were building a new chapel at

the prison.

They dug up a few graves, and they came up one body short.

-Why are you telling me this?

-Because everyone involved in his

execution is being murdered.

-Not my business.

-He's got to be stopped, MacLeod.

We think we know--

-Then why don't you stop him?

I'm not a cop, Dawson.

Why don't you just disappear?

As I seem to remember, you do that very well.

-All right.

[sigh]

If you want to get in touch with me--

-I won't.

-Well, just think about it.

-It's not enough you kick my ass in public?

You gotta take over my office, too?

-I'm Duncan MacLeod.

-Charlie.

Charlie DeSalvo.

-Nice to meet you.

I was just leaving.

-Hey.

You come back sometime.

I want another crack at you.

-I just got lucky.

-Yeah, right.

RICHIE RYAN [OFFSCREEN]: So who was that at the office?

DUNCAN MACLEOD [OFFSCREEN]: Dawson.

-The Dawson?

What's he want?

-Doesn't matter.

[extra-sensory buzz]

-Go ahead.

I'll catch up with you.

-Do you know how close you came to losing your head?

-That would be a hell of a way to greet an old friend.

What makes you think I'd let you take it, anyway?

[both laugh]

-OK, that's nice.

MICHAEL MOORE [OFFSCREEN]: Well, finally a woman who

knows everything about Duncan MacLeod.

TESSA NOEL [OFFSCREEN]: Not everything.

There are still a few decades he keeps to himself.

-Well, if you have any questions, I'd be happy to

fill you in.

DUNCAN MACLEOD [OFFSCREEN]: Thanks.

It's been a long time, Michael.

Where have you been keeping yourself?

-Oh, I've been trucking around, trying to find out

what it's all about.

-So?

Have you?

MICHAEL MOORE [OFFSCREEN]: No.

But I've had a hell of a time trying.

[laughs]

And now I'm come to visit my good old

friend Duncan MacLeod.

-And Quenten Barnes.

-Yeah.

Well, I knew he couldn't stay buried forever.

So how'd you find out he was free?

-That doesn't matter.

-Well, it's time to finish this.

-Michael.

-I've got to try.

I owe it to Jeanette.

[shutter click]

[shutter click]

-OK, spin around.

That's it, spin.

Beautiful.

[laughter]

-Excuse me.

May I help you?

-Oh, yes.

Um, my name is Duncan MacLeod.

I've come to see Dr. Moore.

-Oh, yes, Mr. MacLeod.

He's in the west wing with some of the patients.

-Thank you.

Are you new here?

-Yes.

[woman screaming]

QUENTEN BARNES [OFFSCREEN]: You deceitful lying bitch!

[screaming]

-No, please!

Don't!

INMATE [OFFSCREEN]: Help her!

[woman screaming]

-Stop fighting it!

Stop!

[screaming]

-Annie, stop playing and come with us!

JEANETTE [OFFSCREEN]: [screaming]

Michael!

[screaming]

-Jeanette?

JEANETTE [OFFSCREEN]: [screaming]

Michael!

[screaming]

QUENTEN BARNES [OFFSCREEN]: You'll never get away from me.

-[screaming]

-Jeanette?

-You stay away!

Stay away!

DUNCAN MACLEOD [OFFSCREEN]: It's me.

It's me.

What happened?

-Duncan?

I tried.

He was too fast.

I couldn't handle him.

-Who?

Who did this?

-Quenten Barnes.

Where's Jeanette?

Jeanette!

Jeanette!

No.

No.

Why, Duncan?

Why?

Eternal peace.

I hope she's found it.

DUNCAN MACLEOD [OFFSCREEN]: You have to believe that she

has.

-It's more peace than I'll ever find.

Mac, he was coming after me.

Why did he have to kill her?

-I don't know.

-Whatever it takes, whatever I have to do, I'm gonna hunt

that son-of-a-bitch down and kill him.

Mac, if he kills me--

I know it's not your fight.

-I'll finish it.

I promise.

I want you to understand I'm doing this for my reasons, not

yours.

-All right, as long as it gets done.

What do you need?

-I want your files.

-No change.

-I need to know more about him.

Where he's lived, what he's done, his habits.

I also need the names and addresses of all the people

involved in the execution.

-We have rules.

-Then break them.

-Look, MacLeod, I would like to help you.

I'm gonna have to run this by some people.

It's gonna take some time.

-Time is something we don't have.

-[sigh]

OK.

The priest who attended the execution

lives in the Heights.

It's about 60 miles from here.

I'll take you up there.

-Just give me the address.

-Hello?

Is somebody there?

QUENTEN BARNES [OFFSCREEN]: Father.

-Ooh, you startled me.

I usually my parishioners in church.

Have you been waiting for long?

QUENTEN BARNES [OFFSCREEN]: Long?

Only 33 years.

-Quenten Barnes.

But that's impossible.

He's dead.

QUENTEN BARNES [OFFSCREEN]: I was.

But as you can see, I'm back.

-Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be they name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done--

[choking]

-Tess, I'm telling you.

It's some cruel law of nature.

If a girl really digs me, her mom really hates me.

-But not all of them.

-Oh, no, no, no.

Sometimes it's the fathers.

-Hi.

-Oh, Michael, how nice to see you again.

-Hi, Michael.

How you doing?

-OK.

Uh, look, there was a man outside looking for MacLeod.

He wanted him to have this.

-Oh, OK.

-I think it's got something to do with Barnes.

I was hoping Mac would be here by now.

-Oh, I'm sorry.

I'll see he gets it.

You OK?

MICHAEL MOORE [OFFSCREEN]: Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine.

-Why don't I believe you?

-I was never a very good liar.

Jeanette used to say that.

-You know, sometimes it's good to talk about it.

-There's really nothing much to say.

I think there is.

Richie, could you keep an eye on things?

RICHIE RYAN [OFFSCREEN]: Uh, yeah, sure.

-Let's take a walk.

DUNCAN MACLEOD [OFFSCREEN]: So you think it was about what?

An hour and a half?

Thought I told you not to follow me.

-You found Father Moore?

-Yeah, but not before Barnes did.

I want his files, Dawson.

-It's being printed.

Josh should be on his way with it by now.

-It might keep someone else alive.

MICHAEL MOORE [OFFSCREEN]: I never stopped loving her.

After all these years, does that seem strange to you?

-No.

-She was a part of me.

She was the best part.

I remember going to places I'd been to 100 times before, but

with her, it was like I was seeing it for the first time.

The colors, the shapes-- everything was beautiful

through her eyes.

Everything!

Even me.

[chuckles]

I mean, listen to me.

She's been dead 70 years.

I must sound like an idiot.

-No.

You sound like a man who was very much in love.

-Well.

-And who, one day, will be again.

-[sighs]

I don't think so.

-I do.

-Really?

-Yeah, really.

-From your mouth to God's ear.

-I think it's time I went back.

-Sure.

Would you tell MacLeod I'm back at the hotel?

-And anytime you want to talk.

-Tessa?

Thank you.

RICHIE RYAN [OFFSCREEN]: Man, this dude is bad to the bone.

-Yeah, but there's less here than I'd hoped.

Whole decades unaccounted for.

-My god.

-I don't think God matters to Barnes.

He killed a priest for trying to save his soul.

-So there's no witnesses left.

That means Barnes is batting a thousand.

-Not quite.

The prosecutor that convicted Barnes is still alive.

Judge Marvin Singer.

-Louise?

You still around?

Of course not, not when I really need something.

Where in the hell's that-- that deposition?

[knock]

-[EXASPERATED] Coming!

Aaah!

Aahh!

[wind howling]

Why Singer's chambers?

Why not his house?

-I called.

His housekeeper said he was going to be working late.

There's a chance we can get there before Barnes.

-Remember, Mac, this is my fight.

-Hey, I'm just there to watch you win.

-Or him.

-That's not gonna happen.

I One way or another, he's gonna lose.

-You're a real comfort, you know that?

[knock]

[knock]

-We're too late.

-Same way Barnes was executed.

-Now he's killed the last of them.

-And he'll disappear, just like he did before.

-I don't think so.

-This doesn't make sense.

These guys can't be as good as they think they are.

-Why do you say that?

-Mac, they've been tracking this guy for

centuries, you know?

I mean, this is all they got?

You know, there's got to be more stuff here.

You know, real pictures, things like that?

-No, they don't see everything, Richie.

There aren't that many pictures around of me, either.

-Yeah, but still.

[phone ringing]

RICHIE RYAN [ON PHONE]: Hello?

Antiques?

Yeah, hold on one second.

It's for you, Mac.

-Dawson?

-Yeah.

-What do you got?

-He killed Singer last night.

-Yeah, tell me something I don't know.

JOE DAWSON [ON PHONE]: I think we found him.

-Go on.

-That old asylum, out past Route 3?

-Yeah, I know it.

-I'd like to be able to do more, MacLeod.

-You do what you can.

[beep]

-Barnes.

You know where he is.

-Yeah.

-Well, so-- so tell me.

I'm on my way.

-Michael, he left that message at Singer's for a reason.

He's going to be ready for you.

-I'll be ready for him.

He would come back here.

You think he's in there?

-Well, it's too far away to sense him.

Why don't you go around the back and flush him out.

I'll wait here in case he comes out the front.

-Mac, he's mine.

-I'm just around for the ride

PATIENT [ECHOING QUIETLY IN MEMORY]: Nurse Colbert!

Help her!

Are you all right, nurse?

Help her!

Somebody!

Jeanette!

Jeanette!

Somebody help her!

Somebody!

[extra-sensory buzz]

-Michael?

Michael, is that you?

[glass smashing in distance]

MICHAEL MOORE [OFFSCREEN]: [SHOUTING] No!

-[SHOUTING] Michael?

Michael!

Barnes?

Michael!

Michael?

Oh, Michael.

[laughter echoing]

-Michael must have gone after him.

Damn fool.

-You think he's dead?

-Somebody is.

-I liked him.

-We all did, Tess.

[phone ringing]

-Hello?

Hello?

Who is this?

-You're unlucky, MacLeod.

And so was your friend.

I gave him a shot.

The pitiful bastard was hardly worth the trouble.

-Oh, but I am.

-We're touchy, aren't we?

-Where are you?

-The asylum.

You'll know me.

I'm the one with the head.

[laughs]

[beep]

-[QUIETLY] Be careful.

-Ugh.

Tess, can I get you something?

-[sighs]

Look at this place.

We've got to start working if we want to

open in this century.

RICHIE RYAN [OFFSCREEN]: Hey, just let me know what

you want me to do.

-We need more inventory, more shelf space.

And I can't be spending all my time doing this.

I have my own work.

-Look, Tess, I'm worried about Mac too, but he can take care

of himself.

-[SHOUTING] Don't you think I know that?

-Fine.

Hey, I'm sorry.

You know, sometimes I just say some things, you know?

Open mouth, insert foot.

-I'm sorry, Richie.

I'm sorry.

-It's OK.

-It's just that sometimes I tell myself that this is the

way it is, that ti's my choice that I'm with him.

It's been 12 years.

You'd think I'd learn.

-Learn what, Tess?

Learn not to be human?

Learn not to love him so much?

Hey, come on.

Give yourself a break.

Listen, you know what I always do when I'm

worried about something?

-What?

-I don't know.

I was hoping maybe you could tell me.

[both laugh]

-Thanks a lot, Richie.

-What are friends for?

-[SHOUTING] Barnes!

Come on, Barnes, where are you?

Barnes!

What are you afraid of?

It's me, MacLeod!

RICHIE RYAN [OFFSCREEN]: So I'll take inventory on the

paintings.

-Yeah.

-You call the clients.

-Whoa.

-Michael!

-Hey, Mike.

Mike, Mike. come here.

What the hell happened out there?

-[BREATHLESSLY] I don't know.

-You know, you don't really have to do that, Tessa.

I'm almost healed.

TESSA NOEL [OFFSCREEN]: I know.

I feel better when I'm doing something.

-And I thought it was my attractive personality.

You're worried

Duncan, huh?

[footsteps on stairs]

MICHAEL MOORE [OFFSCREEN]: Look, I'm sorry I got you guys

into all this trouble.

-That's OK, Michael, it's not your fault.

-I just couldn't pass up a chance at Barnes.

-How come he didn't take your head?

-I don't know.

Sometimes I think he's keeping me alive just to torture me.

-Yeah, well, with a psycho like that, anything's

possible, huh?

[extra-sensory buzz]

-Yeah.

JOE DAWSON [OFFSCREEN]: Oh god.

I don't see the file.

-Don't play games with me, Dawson.

I already have the file.

-Who gave it to you?

-One of your guys.

He left it with a friend.

-Then you never saw him?

-Who?

-Josh.

-No.

What difference does it make?

-This is Josh.

-If Barnes killed Josh, it had to be after he left the file.

-No, Josh wouldn't do that.

-Well, why not?

There could be a lot of reasons--

-You don't understand.

-No, maybe there wasn't time--

-You don't understand.

He would never leave that file with anyone else.

Not while he was alive.

-Michael?

You all right?

[breathing jaggedly]

Yeah, I should really get back to the hotel.

I--

-Wait, at least until Duncan gets back.

-You really want me to stay, don't you, Tessa?

-Yes, of course.

Michael, I think you've got this wrong.

I only meant that Duncan would want you to stay here.

-Is that all you meant, Tessa?

-Yes.

Yes, of course.

-Nnngh!

-What is it?

What is it?

-It's these pains, these blackouts.

Something they just come.

I need to take something.

-In the medicine cabinet in the bathroom.

-What's with him?

-I don't know.

He suddenly got sick.

-Hm.

Do Immortals get sick?

MICHAEL MOORE [OFFSCREEN]: [SHOUTING] No!

-Michael?

What is it?

What's wrong?

Who wrote this?

-It's Barnes.

He's here, Tessa.

He's already inside.

-But he can't be.

We would see him.

-No, he's coming.

I can feel him.

You've got to leave.

Leave now.

-But not without you!

-No, it's too late.

The blackness is starting!

-Michael, don't move.

-Aaaghhh!

-Richie!

-Something's wrong.

Michael thinks Barnes is here.

-In the store?

-That's what he says.

-Aaahh!

-Maybe that fight with Barnes bent his antenna a little bit.

Tell you what-- relax.

I'll go talk to him.

-Michael.

Michael?

Hey, listen, Michael, you gotta chill out.

I mean, Barnes couldn't get in here with a Sherman tank.

-It's nice of you to make the effort, Richie, but I'm

already here.

-What-- what--?

Michael!

Tessa!

Tessa, get out of here.

Tessa, go, now!

TESSA NOEL [OFFSCREEN]: What are you doing?

Michael!

Have you gone crazy?

-Michael isn't here anymore, Tessa.

It's me, Quenten Barnes.

-You're not Barnes.

You're Michael Moore.

-Michael is dead, Tessa.

I killed him.

I'm like the genie in the lamp, and now I'm out.

-Oh my god.

The blackouts.

-That was me taking over.

-Oh!

-It's kind of a timeshare arrangement.

Only Michael never gets to figure it out.

-Ow!

Oh!

-I thought you were special, Tessa.

[gasping for air]

-I thought you were different.

-Michael, why?

-Because you led me on, just like Jeanette.

That little walk by the park--

I know what that was about!

You're just like all the others.

That's why I had to kill them.

Sniveling little Michael couldn't do it, but I could.

I could!

[extra-sensory buzz]

-I can.

-You OK?

TESSA NOEL [OFFSCREEN]: I'm fine.

-It's good you came out to play, MacLeod.

It's time you and I got to know each other.

-We already know each other.

You're my friend.

Don't you remember?

-No, that was Michael Moore.

-You are Michael.

-No.

I'm Quenten Barnes.

-Ahh!

MacLeod!

All those people dying, I swear I had no idea.

It was Barnes!

-You couldn't.

Your mind blocked out the memory.

-All those years buried--

I thought it was a dream.

I thought he was part of the nightmare.

-And I am!

-Michael?

Maybe there's a way out of this.

-Duncan, Duncan, Duncan.

Do you think I'm as big a fool as Moore?

-What about Jeanette?

She loved you.

Was she a fool, too?

I'm

-She--

she betrayed me, just like all the others.

[roars]

-She made a mistake, Michael.

She loved you, just like you loved her.

You couldn't kill her yourself.

That's why you turned into Barnes.

-MacLeod?

Help me, Duncan!

I want to stop this!

-Then come out.

We can figure this out.

-I can't move!

Duncan, please!

[growls]

-Figured it out, MacLeod.

After 30 years in that tomb, I can use Moore whenever I want.

I spy with my little eye something that is dead.

[yells]

-You're mine, MacLeod!

-Not yet!

-Talk to me, Michael!

-Stop calling me that!

-Michael, I know you're still in there.

It's me, Mac.

[roars]

-Duncan.

-Michael.

Michael, talk to me.

-You'll have to finish this alone.

I can't help.

-But you didn't know, Michael.

-I do now.

Barnes must die.

Duncan, if you care about me, you're gonna have to kill

Barnes now!

-Forgive me, my friend.

I have a promise to keep.

[thunder rolls]

[electricity crackling]

[thunderclap]

[electricity crackling]

[electricity crackling]

-Michael.

-Sorry it worked out this way, MacLeod.

I lost a good friend.

-Dawson, so did I.

-Dawson, so did I.

Eternal peace, Michael.

Eternal peace.
