All language subtitles for Highlander S03E03

NARRATOR: 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.

THEME SONG: Here we are,
born to be kings.

We're the princes
of the universe.

I am immortal.

I have inside me
blood of kings.

I have no rival.

No man can be my equal.

Take me to the future
of your world.

NEWSCASTER [ON TV]: Violence
continues to stalk the

suffering civilians of this once
peaceful mountain region

as the warring factions
continue to

hammer at each other.

The only hope for the people
of this shattered land is a

truce between rebel leader
Paul Karros and the

better-armed forces of
President Bourchek.

Even as a UN-inspired arms
embargo tightens its hold on

the isolated rebels, Mr. Karros
vows to continue the

struggle until some kind
of victory is achieved.

[automatic weapons fire]

[explosion]

-Incoming!

All right, let's get
out of here.

Go!

-Wars and revolution have
their own pacing,

Mara, their own time.

The question is not if
we'll win, but when.

-The city is falling around
our ears, and you still

believe that?

-Well, how can I lead these men
and believe anything else?

In the last 60 minutes, have you
heard anything from them?

Well, get on it!

I need to get on that show and
talk about the arms embargo.

It's imperative!

-They want fact, Paul,
not poetry.

They want to know how men armed
with rifles are going to

defeat Bourchek's tanks.

-These men are capable of more
heroism than you can imagine.

All they need is the
proper motivation--

my motivation!

[door opens]

MARA [OFFSCREEN]: Who is it?

-Their motivation.

Do you know who this is?

This is one of Bourchek's
secret police.

And look, a colonel.

Is this what you fear?

[gunshot]

-Are you still frightened?

The men you face tomorrow
are just like him.

And they die just as easily.

To victory.

To victory.

To victory.

ALL: To victory.

To victory.

To victory!

To victory!

To victory!

To victory!

To victory!

To victory!

To victory!

To victory!

-Well, I think that thanks to
Father Stefan, the congressman

has begun to see
things our way.

MASON [OFFSCREEN]: Mr. Karros.

I'm Alan Mason, KHI TV.

Will the congressman vote
to end the arms embargo?

-The Congressman is
a man of peace.

He'll vote his conscience.

-I've heard stories about
Karros all over Africa,

central America.

They say he can turn villagers
into Green Berets

in a couple of weeks.

How long you known him?

-Awhile.

-Oh, so you're not going
to tell me about him?

-Probably not.

-[laughs]

You're a real public
library, MacLeod.

-It's rumored that the truce was
broken by your attack on a

tank battalion.

-Mr. Mason, you seem to be
reasonably intelligent man.

Would you charge a tank
with a pistol?

My people are brave, but
they aren't foolish.

We fight for peace.

The truce was broken
by Bourchek.

MASON [OFFSCREEN]: Why would
Bourchek break the truce.

What can he hope to gain?

KARROS [OFFSCREEN]: The
annihilation of our people.

MASON [OFFSCREEN]: You call
Bourchek the aggressor--

but aren't you doing
the same thing?

Mr. Karros.

-My friend, I've been cast into
the role of a warrior.

Those who know me know
me as a man of peace.

Viva la revolution!

ALL: Viva la revolution!

[cheering]

-Wake up, Mac.

Let's celebrate.

Tomorrow we'll be in Queretaro,
and all of Mexico

will be ours.

-Not ours, Karros.

Theirs.

-OK, theirs.

What's the difference?

We're on the same
side, aren't we?

-Which side is that?

-The side of justice
and glory.

-Maximilian's been trying to
abdicate and go home to

Austria for two years.

He's a puppet.

I think he'd go home on
his own if we let him.

-[laughs]

I never thought you'd change,
you know that?

Duncan MacLeod, the pacifist.

You were never a slave.

-So?

-So, life was the property
of the Roman Empire.

I was a gladiator trained
to die for the frivolous

amusement of Romans.

-You must have been a great
disappointment to 'em.

-Oh, I was a hell of
a disappointment.

See, they had choked on
me and Spartacus.

He was a Thracian, like me.

Did I ever tell you that?

-Yeah, several times.

-Spartacus was a great
leader, Mac.

He convinced a bunch of slaves
that they could defeat the

Roman Empire.

90,000 of us ended
up with him.

-Yeah, all of which were
crucified, burnt, or hung.

-They died free.

Spartacus may be gone, Mac, but
I still hear his voice.

And I carry his fight.

-Be careful when you hear
voices from past, Paul.

Time can make you a liar.

[explosion]

[explosion]

[screaming]

[gunshot]

[gunshot]

[gunshot]

[gunshot]

[gunfire]

[explosion]

I think my leg's broken.

Come on, just a little
farther.

Right here.

-Ah, gracias.

Good.

There.

Keep the tourniquet tight and
try to keep the wound clean.

My leg.

-How goes the battle?

-I think we're winning.

-I wonder if they'll
be celebrating.

-Here.

-I'm sorry.

I am very tired.

-You have a right to be.

-When I was at the university,
I'd heard about the price the

peasants were paying for
their revolution.

I was sure their freedom
was worth dying for.

-And now?

-His name was Juan.

He's a miner in San
Juan del Rio.

That's Julio and his
girlfriend, Maria.

-I think if you asked them if
they could choose to fight

knowing that they might
die, they would.

-They're so young.

What good is being free
if you're dead?

-Maybe they believe there's
something worth fighting for.

-Like our revolution?

Would you die for our
revolution, senor?

-I have to go.

-What is your name?

-Duncan MacLeod.

-I'm Elda Quiteras.

Vaya con dios, Duncan MacLeod.

-Bourchek says that you lead
your men to suicide in order

to get into the evening news.

-Mr. Bourchek's a liar.

He lies to his army, he
lies to his people.

Why shouldn't he lie to you?

If you wants peace, let
him come to the table.

We've endured much under
President Bourchek.

Our homes are destroyed, our
women taken, our men shot down

in the street.

And the world sat
by and watched.

Now they all change, thanks
to men like Father Stefan.

If the embargo is lifted,
Bourchek will be forced to

negotiate, I'll embrace
him with open arms.

Get down!

[gunshot]

[screaming]

[gunshot]

MAC [OFFSCREEN]: Father.

-After him!

Call an ambulance.

-Someone get an ambulance,
quick!

[gunshot]

-Pulse is 130 and shallow.

-OK, [inaudible].

He is moist and cool.

What's hanging?

-To large-bore IVs
[inaudible].

-What's his name?

-Stefan Matolo.

He's a priest.

-OK, father, you hang tight.

You're going to be OK.

Come on, let's get him
on the table, now!

Let's go!

Let's go!

Get it tight, get it across.

Move it!

That bullet chopped up
his liver pretty bad.

Come on, people.

He's not going to make it.

-Doctor.

So, how is he?

-Well, he's been better.

-But you're saying he's alive?

-Don't look so surprised.

I've had four shootings
today, and I'm

three for four already.

-Doctor, when will the press
be able to speak to him?

DR. LINDSEY [OFFSCREEN]:
The press?

-I'd let Father Stefan make it
through intensive care before

you start booking a speaking
tour for him.

-Thank you.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

-Mac.

Mara Rione, Duncan MacLeod.

-Pleasure.

-If we had this man
on our side, we

wouldn't need an army.

-You and me against
an army, Karros.

You must have gotten better
since the last time we met.

-Yes, maybe both of us have.

We're both still around,
aren't we?

Mara's been with me since
the beginning.

She was one hell of a reporter
in the capital, until

Bourchek's artillery leveled
the building

and killed the publisher.

-Sometimes a free press means
free to be murdered.

-You know, I, uh--

I served some time down in El
Salvador just around the time

you were working that
neck of the woods.

-That was another war.

It seems like such
a long time.

Take it we were on
different sides.

-Oh, I was an adviser.

Mostly I tried not
to be on a side.

Heh.

Nah, there was no up or
down in that one.

-There's always a right
and a wrong.

-At least that's what the spin
doctors want you to believe.

-MacLeod, you know,
maybe you've

changed more than I thought.

It's not like you to leave
a friend standing

with an empty glass.

-You with an empty glass--

this is exactly like
the old days.

-Thank you.

-What?

-For helping Father
Stefan today.

Look, um, where-- where
are you staying?

-A man from my country made
his fortune here.

Two days ago the world was
crumbling around me, and now

I'm staying in a mansion.

-Yeah, I remember how weird
it was to come home.

You know, one day I'm ducking
bullets in El Salvador, and

then the next I'm drinking beer
in my buddies basement.

-But I'm still ducking
Bourchek's bullets.

If he got to us here, it
would send a strong

message back home.

-We'll just have to make sure
he doesn't get a chance to

send another message.

More wine?

-Why not.

-Maybe you're right, Mac,
giving up the life of a

warrior, opting for
all this comfort.

-The boredom of my life
would kill you.

I haven't had a cavalry
charge in years.

-Remember the old days, when all
you needed was the right

cause, a good horse,
and a good blade?

Now an army's run on money,
high-tech weapons.

There's no passion, Mac.

-It was always about money,
don't you remember?

-Why don't you come
back with us, Mac?

Maybe two old relics like us
can lay Bourchek to rest

faster than one of us.

-I'm not looking for
any new fights.

As it is, some of the old ones
won't leave me alone.

You already have the
press on your side.

It's only a matter of time
till Bourchek negotiates.

-No.

Never.

I will never negotiate
with men like that.

Never.

[sighs]

[laughs]

My glass is empty again.

-So it is.

-Tomorrow, we call out
the dogs, Mara.

Let's see what kind of
play we get from the

media in the shooting.

-You don't have to look
so happy about that.

-Mara, I'm worried about
Father Stefan, too.

But I'm not going to let it stop
me from using it to get

to the truth about Bourchek.

-How about the truth that our
people attacked those tanks.

-The truth is, it
was necessary.

-Was it?

-Yes, it was.

I don't expect you
to understand.

But someday, you'll learn that
sometimes you need to lose a

battle to win a war.

-Excuse me.

Are we talking about truth?

-And something else--

you never confuse people with
what they don't need to know.

-Didn't Bourchek say that?

[phone ringing]

-Karros.

I know it.

I'll meet you there.

-Who was it?

-It's one of our people.

He's got proof of Bourchek's
involvement.

-I'll come with you.

-No, you wait here.

I'll be back.

-Anthony.

-Have you read the evening
newspapers?

We made the front page.

-Yeah.

The priest was supposed
to die.

-It's not my fault, he lived.

Blame the doctors.

-See these munitions here?

Cost me an awful lot of money.

Now, I needed a dead priest to
push congress into stopping

the arms embargo.

-I did what I was told.

I want my money.

-You want your money?

I'll give you your money.

Here's your money.

Count it.

-It's all here.

-No!

-Are you the guy the police sent
to look at the shooter?

-Yeah.

-Detective Gord's late.

You know what they say about
cops when you need them.

Every stiff tells a story.

We've got a whole encyclopedia
down here tonight.

Oh, sorry.

Licorice-- do you want some?

-No.

-[laughs]

Shootings, stabbings,
we've even got a

natural here somewhere.

But this one is really
something.

[knocking]

-Hope you're decent.

[laughs]

I hear he shot a priest.

No wonder someone
was mad at you.

Ah, but he's been good as
gold for us down here.

It's a joke.

-Oh.

Uh.

Any idea on who he is.

I think I heard a name.

Dourcef.

Yes, Anthony Dourcef.

He's from out of town,
Europe somewhere.

-The Balkans?

-Yes, that's the place.

-Thanks.

-What, don't you want to see
the interesting part?

-Uh, no.

-It's not every day we get
something like this.

-What do you mean?

-I mean cut, sliced,
like a tomato--

[slicing noises].

Neat job, too.

See the severing all
along there?

Bet you're sorry you messed
with a priest, aren't you?

[laughs]

-Bet he is.

-Ah!

Cavalry's here!

Morning, Detective Gord.

I was just telling--

-Uh, it's him.

-No, this wasn't war.

This was murder--

a murder of the cloth, a man
who wanted only peace, paid

for by President Bourchek.

And our people will never forget
what he did to Father

Stefan, or forgive,
or surrender.

[explosion]

[shouting]

[gunfire]

[gunfire]

[explosion]

-That was close

-Not close enough.

-Paul, no!

There might be soldiers!

[shouting]

-This is the emperor's private
guard, and they were leaving.

-You know what that means?

-Yeah, it means it's over.

-Capital's wide open.

Let's take it, Mac.

-Forget it, Paul.

The capital is going
to fall anyway.

We're through here.

-Like hell we are.

-Paul, it's their victory.

Let them have it

-We won, Mac.

Why did we come here.

-I've done what I came to do.

It's their revolution.

[horse neighs]

-No, it's my revolution.

[horse neighs]

-The emperor's finished, Paul.

Do you need to see him die
with your own eyes?

-No, Mac, with my own hands.

[laughs]

-Paul!

No!

-Adios, amigos!

-Elda!

Let me get you out of here.

-No, please don't.

[labored breathing]

I've seen enough wounds to
know that I'm dying.

Just don't leave me, please.

-I won't.

-I thought this only happened
to the peasants.

Maybe you should ask me if
I would do it again.

I would.

Viva la revolution.

-Vaya con dios, Elda.

Vaya con dios.

KARROS [OFFSCREEN]: This was
no random act of violence.

This was no accident.

This was murder.

DR. LINDSEY [OFFSCREEN]: Oh,
look, it's the vultures.

They're here.

Now will somebody please tell
me, who rang the dinner bell?

-I called this press
conference.

-Ah.

-This is Dr. Anne Lindsey,
the esteemed surgeon

who saved his life.

I'm Paul Karros, doctor.

-Mmm.

You could be St. Francis of
Assisi and I still would not

let you turn my hospital
into a zoo.

Now, ladies and gentleman, it's
a bit early for happy

hour, so please go.

-Doctor, Father Stefan would
want the world to know what's

happened to him.

He's one of our people.

-News flash, Mr. Karros-- now
he's one of my people.

I barely got him through, and I
will not lose him so you can

get some free air time.

Will somebody please
call security.

-Doctor.

-What?

-Do you know what
you are doing?

-Yes, I do.

And I happen to know exactly
what you're doing too, and I'm

sure as hell not going to let
that happen to my patients.

Hi, guys. would you please
clear this floor now.

I want everybody out.

-Listen to me.

There's a martyr dying in
there, and I'm not--

-Not if I can help
it, Mr. Karros.

-I'm sure I'll see
you on the news.

Let's go.

I said everybody.

Oh, unless you're the one w with
the special dispensation

from the Pope.

-Oh, well, I [clears throat]

must have left it in
my other pants.

-We have a wonderful hearing
specialist upstairs.

You want a referral?

-Pardon?

-Forget it.

Get out.

Go.

[knocking]

-Charlie.

Come on in.

-Thanks.

Sorry to bother you.

-It's all right.

You're not.

-Heh.

Um, writer's block?

-[sighs]

Something like that.

Well, Karros is not here,
but if you want to wait.

-Uh.

Well, um, look, I came
to offer my help.

-To Karros?

What sort of help?

-The kind he can use.

Hands, lights weapons--
it's what I do, Mara.

Karros might need somebody
to watch his back.

Maybe, uh, someone to
watch yours, too.

-Thanks, but I'm not
that important.

-Maybe to some people you are.

-Charlie, are you
coming on to me?

-Me?

Yeah, maybe I am.

I guess you and Karros are--

are you and Karros--

-You mean, uh, are we lovers?

Is that what you're asking?

-Yeah, I guess I am.

-No.

There was a time that we
could have been, but--

but Paul's only love
is the revolution.

[door bell]

-Excuse me.

-Mrs. Leonen, Mason, KHI.

What's Mr. Karros' response
to the news?

-What news?

-So what you're telling me is
that you agree with that

doctor, is that it?

-You were pushing it, Paul.

It's been known to happen.

-Father Stefan wouldn't have
given it a second thought.

If he was conscious, he'd call
that press conference himself.

-But he's not conscious.

He's hanging on by a thread.

-You're getting soft, Mac.

Maybe you've lost your fire.

-I haven't lost it, I just
don't let it eat me up

anymore, or anyone else.

-What are we talking
about here, Mac?

-What we're talking about is
about Bourchek's claim that

your side attacked his tanks.

-And you believe Bourchek.

You believe Bourchek
against me.

-I know you, Paul.

I've seen you send men with
knives against machine guns,

unarmed men against cavalry.

I was there, remember?

-Yeah.

Then you should know I
never forced them.

[inaudible].

-Yeah, but they died, Paul,
and they're still dying.

-Maybe so.

It's better than seeing
them live like sheep.

-The police have found the man
who shot Father Stefan.

I saw him.

He was killed by a sword.

-You save your suspicions
for Bourchek, Mac.

He's the butcher.

[camera shutters]

-Thought you wanted all the
press coverage you could get.

-Not now, Mac.

BOURCHEK [OFFSCREEN]:

-Well, here's your chance.

The whole world's finally
watching.

-Bourchek.

What are you doing here?

-Taking up your challenge,
Karros, to begin the process

that will create peace
in our country.

Join me.

[glasses clang]

-Champagne.

We've got a lot to celebrate.

-Hope you're right.

-What do you mean?

I saw Bourchek holding
out his hand.

The man's offering peace,

-You can't trust him.

One hand offers peace,
the other stabs you.

Paul's sure it's a PR trick,
the way to get

congress on his side.

-But what if it's not?

-It's too much to hope for.

I've been at war for too long.

I don't think I'd know
how to be at peace.

There's so much to do,
so much to rebuild.

-You ever been to the
Balkans, MacLeod?

-Not recently.

Why, you thinking of going?

-Yeah, maybe.

Karros thinks the truce
offer is bogus.

-What's this about?

-It's about doing something
important with your life.

-Well, there are other ways.

-Yeah, maybe.

But maybe this is
the one for me.

-You're serious.

-Yeah, think I am.

Karros can use me.

-I'm sure he will.

-What's that supposed to mean?

-Some people aren't what
they seem, Charlie.

-So?

-So watch yourself
around Karros.

-Look, if you got a beef
with Karros, that's

between you and him.

But me, I think he's fighting
the good fight.

Want another beer?

-No.

KARROS [OFFSCREEN]: Ready.

Aim.

-Don't, Paul.

Don't!

You can't do this.

You don't have to this, Paul.

You've won.

-They would've done the same
thing to us if they had won.

-No, look.

They're not the government.

They're not the opposition.

They're just boys in uniform.

-They chose their side.

This is what war comes
to, every time!

Remember?

-No, don't!

[gunshots]

-Sorry, Mac.

It's war.

Owner, wine.

Where is he?

That dog, he's probably
out celebrating.

-He's dead, Paul.

-Well, we celebrate anyways.

-Celebrate what?

With who?

Look around you, all our
friends are dead.

What have we won?

KARROS [OFFSCREEN]: Freedom.

-For a bunch of dead men?

-They died nobly.

-The war was won!

[SHOUTING] How many children
would still have their fathers

if we talked peace
a few days ago?

[crashing]

-Oh, now they don't have
to talk at all.

-Really.

-It's the price of war.

Just war.

It's worth it.

-Worth it.

-And 100 years ago, you'd
agreed with me.

-Boldly!

But now I think the noblest
thing a man can do is live.

-So, what is this all about?

-It'll just take a minute.

-Ah, you're back.

You want the whole tour?

-Uh, no, just the guy you showed
us yesterday, Harry.

-Quite.

Cut to the chase,
that's my motto.

[knocking]

-Visitors.

[laughs]

-Do you know him?

-Nothing personal, I'm sure.

-Mara.

-Leave me alone.

-I'm not asking you to
tell the police.

I'm asking you to tell me.

He worked with you, didn't he?

A dead priest will get the
attention of the media.

-If something like
this came out--

-It could destroy everything
that you've worked for.

-Paul.

-Mara.

-They told me you were here.

-Yeah, I have a meeting
with the congressman.

We don't want our friends
to forget us.

We'll need them more than
ever when Bourchek's

peace offer is withdrawn.

-What if he is serious, Paul?

-Your idealism is very
refreshing, Mara.

A peaceful Bourchek will
not come about unless

he's dead or exiled.

-I know.

-You know what?

-I know what really happened
to Father Stefan.

-Father Stefan is
a brave soldier.

He almost got killed by the
hands of the enemy.

-Dourcef was on our
side, Paul.

You set up Stefan, and you
killed Dourcef to cover it up.

-You don't know what the hell
you're talking about.

-Tomorrow you call a press
conference and accept the

truce.

-No way, they'll slaughter us.

-Maybe, but for now, the
fighting has ended, Paul.

-You threatening me?

-You're not the only who can
call a press conference.

Accept the truce.

Or it all comes out--

the lies, the murder.

The war is over!

-[laughs]

Spoken like a true hero, Mara.

Our cause has always
needed its heroes.

Or its martyrs.

-No.

No, I think you did
the right thing.

Yeah.

Bye.

-Looks like somebody
lost a friend.

-Or gained an enemy.

-What's up?

-That was Mara.

You were right all along.

Karros was just another
battle junkie.

-What'd she say?

-She threatened to call a press
conference and blow his

ass out of the water if he
didn't start to negotiate.

-Where is she?

-Gone back to the place
she was staying.

Hey, you don't think
he'd try anything.

-He doesn't want to stop
the fighting, he

needs it too much.

CHARLIE [OFFSCREEN]: Mara!

-Hi, Charlie, Mac.

What is it?

-Uh, we need to talk to you.

It's about Karros.

-Listen.

Now, what did you do about
the press conference?

-Well, it's all set
up for tomorrow.

-Uh, I don't know if
that's a good idea.

Wait!

Get her out of here.

-Come on, come on, come on.

MacLeod!

Hit the deck!

[gunshots]

[tires screeching]

-You all right?

-Yeah, we're OK.

-Take care of her.

[car door closes]

[engine starts]

[tires screeching]

[helicopter]

[helicopter]

-So now you kill your friends
as well as your enemies.

-Whatever it takes, Mac.

I will lead my people
to freedom.

-You have no people.

-We could have fought together
again, Mac, side by side.

-I don't think so.

KARROS [OFFSCREEN]: Come on.

Not bad for a pacifist,
old friend.

MAC [OFFSCREEN]: Up.

-You can't do it, can you?

-It's funny, this time I'm the
one leaving with the girl and

you're stuck here running
the dojo.

-You sure this is
what you want?

-Yeah, I'm sure.

-You know, even if this peace
works, it's going to be harder

than any war.

-I'm needed, man.

Whether it's to fight or
rebuild, I'm needed.

I like the way that feels.

Hey, uh, you sure you don't
want to come along?

We could always use another
pair of strong hands.

-[chuckles]

No, it's not for me.

Besides, somebody's got to
look after the place.

-Yeah.

-Hey, Charlie.

Be safe.

-You know it.

THEME SONG: And here
we are, we're the

princes of the universe.

And here we belong, fighting
for survival.

We've got to be the rulers
of your world.

I am immortal.

I have inside me
blood of kings.

I have no rival.

No man can be my equal.

Take me to the future
of your world.
