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"]

-Hello, David.

-Hi.

Uh, Jill here?

-No, my--

I don't know where she is.

-We had a little misunderstanding.

I need to talk to her.

-Well, I told you, she's not here.

Don't you get it?

My sister doesn't want any part of you.

-I know she's here.

-Leave her alone.

-Jill!

[sirens]

-Jill, wait!

-No, get away!

-Jill, please, I just want to talk.

Jill, stop the car.

-No.

Get out of the way!

-Jill!

Come on, Jill,

JILL [OFFSCREEN]: No!

KEOGH [OFFSCREEN]: Please!

Jill!

[dialing phone]

[phone ringing]

ANNE [OFFSCREEN]: Duncan, telephone.

-Yeah, I noticed.

-I hope you saved some hot water.

-Well, I did offer to share, didn't I?

[snickering]

-MacLeod.

David, it's been, uh, ages.

[thunder rumbling]

-Why a church?

[thunder rumbling]

-Fifteen minutes.

[thunder rumbling]

-Anything wrong?

-No, I don't think so.

Just an old friend.

-Oh.

-Do you mind letting yourself out?

-Sure.

I have to be at work in about an hour.

-All right.

Um, here's a spare key to the elevator.

Meet you later?

-Yeah.

Meet you at Joe's?

-Yeah, OK.

RYAN [OFFSCREEN]: Anne.

-Oh, Hi.

-Hi

-Uh, I was just leaving.

-Donut?

-Oh, no.

That stuff will kill ya.

-Chocolate.

-Really?

-Yeah, go for it.

-Thanks.

[door closes]

-Are you Duncan MacLeod?

-You just missed him.

-Uh, yeah, he'll be back later.

Can I tell him who's looking for him?

-No.

-Is there anything we can do to help?

-I need to Duncan MacLeod.

-Well, I'm Anne, and this is Richie.

We're friends of his.

[door closes]

-No, I can't.

-Excuse me, sir.

-Strange.

-Scared.

[church bells chiming]

-We were talking about it last night.

-That would be perfect.

So that will be fine.

-And otherwise, I guess we if it's not that nice, we can

just be in the church with all the flowers and stuff.

It's great.

All right, then.

-Duncan!

Thanks for coming, man.

-Why are we meeting on holy ground?

-It's a matter of life and death.

I'm getting married.

-Really?

Congratulations!

That's great.

I'm really happy for you.

-[sigh]

On Sunday.

And Duncan, I want you to be my best man.

-Absolutely.

-Thanks for coming with me, Duncan.

I want you to be my best man.

-Let the lady say yes first, David.

[snickering]

-Where did you meet her?

-Her father's ships are bringing in the lumber for the

houses that I'm building.

You should see her, Duncan.

The way she laughs, the way she looks at me.

She's the one.

I even brought the ring.

[sigh]

-Do I look all right?

-You did until a moment ago.

Ahem!

-Huh.

Who would have thought it.

50 years ago, I was an indentured servant.

Had to ask my master's permission to cross the

street.

-Well, you're nobody's indentured servant now.

[sigh]

-It's a new world.

There, now you look a perfect gentleman.

[bell ringing]

-Hello, Reginald.

-Good day.

-Is Miss Julia at home?

-Oh, certainly, sir.

Thank you.

JULIA [OFFSCREEN]: I'm so sorry, Roger, but I've already

promised Mr. Southworth.

Perhaps another day.

How nice to see you, Mr. Keogh.

What can we do for you?

-Well, I, uh, I had--

I hoped to speak to you alone, sir.

-Is there a problem?

There's nothing wrong with our mahogany, I hope?

-No, no.

It's nothing like that.

It's about--

it's about your daughter, Miss Julia.

-What business could you possibly

have with my daughter?

-I had hoped to discuss the possibility of marriage, sir.

MRS. RENQUIST [OFFSCREEN]: Marriage?

-Hm!

-Are you ridiculing me, or are you insane?

-Maybe this is not the right time.

-Why not?

No, I want--

I wish--

I wish to say, I wish to marry your daughter, sir.

MRS. RENQUIST [OFFSCREEN]: Oh!

-I invite you into my home, and this is the

advantage you take?

You come in here, you speak this way in front of my wife?

Who do you think you are?

-I am a free man.

I am a business man, like you.

And Julia and I love each other.

-Leave my home.

-Perhaps we should take our leave.

-Tell him, Julia.

Tell him what you told me.

Tell me how we feel.

-You come from nowhere.

You have no family.

Do you believe I would allow my

daughter to marry a tradesman?

I'd just as soon she married Reginald, here.

-We love each other.

Julia.

You told me.

You promised.

MR. RENQUIST [OFFSCREEN]: Reginald, see Mr. Keogh off.

-Tell him the truth, Julia.

-Julia!

-You obviously misinterpreted my kindness as affection.

-Julia!

You love me.

I love you!

-I will not tell you again.

-We are able to find our own way out.

Come.

-Good day to you, all of you.

KEOGH [OFFSCREEN]: So what do you think?

-Well, you always were a master craftsman.

It's great.

Ah!

-I got a little workshop upstate.

It's special orders only.

You know, there's a six-month waiting

list for those rockers.

And that's how I met Jill.

She's a decorator.

She asked me to bump one of her clients up to

the head of the list.

-Did you?

-Maybe.

OK.

Yeah, I did.

She took me out to dinner to thank me.

I guess that was about a year ago, now.

She practically had to drag me out of that workshop.

It's been a long time for me, Duncan.

Thought it would never happen to me again.

-Well, you were due.

[buzzing]

-Oh, that'll be Richie.

-Your student?

MACLEOD [OFFSCREEN]: Yeah.

-Lucky guy.

Dave Keogh.

-Richie Ryan.

Nice to meet you.

You guys hungry?

Some food?

-Ah, no, we're meeting Anne in a couple of minutes.

-All right.

Can I grab one of these?

-Help yourself.

-Thanks.

So did that woman come by?

-Who?

-Oh, Anne didn't call you?

-No.

-This woman stopped by this morning after you left.

She said she needed to talk to you, but wouldn't

say what it was about.

-She leave a name?

RYAN [OFFSCREEN]: No, She wouldn't

even come in the door.

-What did she look like?

-In her 20's, brunette, really cute, scared to death.

Sound familiar?

-No.

She comes by again, get her to wait.

RYAN [OFFSCREEN]: You got it.

-Be back in about an hour.

Ready?

-Uh, actually I'm wiped.

I don't really feel like going back to Jill's place.

Is it OK if I crash here for a little while,

catch up with you later?

-You sure?

-Yeah, if you don't mind.

-Well, make yourself at home.

-Richie.

-Yo.

-Leave the place clean.

-Sure.

-One in a million.

-You got that right.

-Wish the guy who found me would have been more like him.

-It wasn't Mac?

-No.

He wasn't my teacher, but he sure taught me a lot.

When I was born, you could buy an eight-year-old boy from the

orphanage for less than the price of a pig.

Bind him in apprenticeship like a slave until he was 21.

After I changed, the Immoral that found me

treated me the same way--

like a pack animal.

Duncan was the first person I ever met that treated me like

I was worth something.

-I've been there, man.

[thunder rumbling]

RYAN [OFFSCREEN]: You're back!

Come in.

-Is he here?

Duncan MacLeod?

-I hate to say it, but you just missed him again.

I told him you came by, though, and he said to wait.

I'm really sorry.

Is there, uh, something I can do for you?

-He's the only one who can help me.

-Hmm.

OK.

-Jill!

Sweetheart, I'm glad you came by.

I went by the church this morning and I

talked to Pastor Reaves.

We're all set for Sunday.

-Get away from me.

-Uh, hey, David!

What's up, man?

-It's wedding jitters.

I had them myself.

Go back to your place and I'll give you a nice massage.

-Don't!

You not listening to me, David.

-David, let's take it easy.

Ugh!

David!

I don't think she wants to go with you, man.

-Get out of my way.

-David, stop this!

-Let's talk about this, man.

-I said move.

Ugh!

Jill!

-Now look, let's just calm down.

Mac will be back soon.

We'll sort this thing out.

Don't do this, David.

-Get between us again and I'll kill ya.

[sigh]

ANNE [OFFSCREEN]: So how long have you known him for?

WAITRESS [OFFSCREEN]: There you go.

-Years.

-Really?

Well, I can't wait to me him.

How formal is it?

-I'm not sure.

ANNE [OFFSCREEN]: What time is it?

-Uh, I don't know, actually.

-You've a thing about weddings, don't you?

-I love weddings.

-Oh, well, where I come from, the, uh, best man usually

knows these things.

-I only found out a couple of hours ago.

-OK.

-OK.

-You ever been married before?

-Nope.

You?

-Nope.

Ever come close?

-A couple of times.

-Yeah?

Me, too.

How come you didn't?

-Ah, just didn't work out.

-Why is that?

-You know, I guess I'd better be going.

[clears throat]

I'm sure there's loads of things I got to do before

Sunday.

-Duncan, if you don't feel like talking about this, it's

really OK.

-It's not that I don't want to talk about it.

-Duncan.

-[WHISPERING] Someday, I promise.

This doesn't make any sense, Richie.

He's supposed to be getting married.

-Not unless it's a shotgun wedding.

I'm telling you, Mac, she doesn't want

anything to do with him.

-I'll talk to him.

-Well, if I were you, I'd be careful.

He's not pulling his punches.

I think he broke some ribs.

-You'll heal.

-I know.

That's not what I mean.

Mac, you don't understand.

One minute this guy was there, and the next, boom!

He's trying to take my head.

And he's not kidding around.

I mean, this girl came in and he just freaked.

He totally lost it.

Now what the hell is this all about?

[square dance music playing]

CALLER [OFFSCREEN]: Here we go!

Ho!

Bow to your partner.

Do-si-do.

Change partners and sashay down the line!

Back to the start and do-si-do!

One more time, down the line.

MAN [OFFSCREEN]: Whoo-hah!

Yipee!

Woo-hoo!

Yee-haw!

Woo-hoo!

Yee-haw!

Whoo-hah!

Yah-hah!

Yoo-whoo-hoo!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

[firecrackers igniting]

-Come on, let's go!

-Oh, it's a long time since I danced.

-Oh, you'd never know it.

-Flatterer.

-Well, my apologies.

-I like it.

-Have I told you how happy you make me?

-Uh, in the past few months, about a half a dozen time, but

I don't remember.

You'd better tell me again.

-I'm serious.

A few years ago, I lost someone.

-Mama, look what we caught.

-Oh, wow!

Looks like MacLeod taught you well today, huh?

-Yeah, but MacLeod almost went swimming.

KAHANI [OFFSCREEN]: And then we saw a moose and an eagle!

Tomorrow we hunt the bear.

Please?

-Uh--

-I think you better just stick with the fish.

KAHANI [OFFSCREEN]: I'm not afraid of the bear.

See what MacLeod gave me?

It's very strong medicine--

only for warriors.

What about the bear?

-Well, first, the deer.

Then we'll hunt the bear.

Argh!

Go on, go practice your bow.

You and Kahani are all I'll ever need.

-You're so handsome.

-Hmm!

-Sometimes I forget that you're really a white man.

-Like the bluecoats?

-Hmm.

I watch you when you can't sleep at night.

I know that you're thinking them.

-They're getting closer every day.

-This is a wide land.

If the soldiers come, we'll just move.

How much room do they want?

-As much they can take.

-I think that you are too serious.

-Roar!

-Oh, Kahani!

I thought I told you to go play with your bow!

KAHANI [OFFSCREEN]: Ar-roar!

Aha, ha, ha.

-I've been on my own ever since.

I never thought I'd feel this way again.

-And how do you feel?

-Like I'm alive.

Like I'm not alone.

-You're not alone, Duncan.

-I wouldn't want to lose you, Sarah.

-Oh, let's go home.

MAN [OFFSCREEN]: Whoo!

Up, hey!

Yee-hah!

SARAH [OFFSCREEN]: I could stay like this forever.

-Um, lets.

-What?

-Stay this way forever.

-That was just silly talk.

-We could get married.

We could buy the old Allen house, be together.

-We are together.

-We could honeymoon in Paris--

or China.

I can--

oh, I could leave the newspaper.

There are things about me you have to know.

Duncan, I don't have to know.

There is no past.

We didn't exist until now.

-Well, what about our future?

What about tomorrow?

-No, not tomorrow.

Mmm.

No future, no past.

I know everything I need to know, right here, right now.

No more questions.

-All right.

-Hi, guys.

PATRON [OFFSCREEN]: Yeah, how you doing?

PATRON [OFFSCREEN]: I'm a doing all right.

-Hey, Jake.

Give me one of your finest whiskeys, please.

-Fella at the end, he's been asking about Sarah.

Says he's family.

-Name's Duncan MacLeod.

I hear you're looking for Sarah Carter?

-About right.

You know her?

-Yeah, I know her.

Duncan MacLeod.

-Henry Carter.

-You her brother?

-Nope, husband.

-Sarah ain't married.

-I got the ring.

I got the minister's word.

-You're a liar!

-You crazy?

She's my wife.

I've come to take her home.

-You're not taking her anywhere.

-The hell I'm not!

[grunts]

[glass breaking]

-Get the sheriff, and get Sarah!

HENRY [OFFSCREEN]: --Ugh!

PATRON [OFFSCREEN]: I got liquor all over my face.

[grunts]

-She's not your wife!

Don't you touch her!

-She's my wife.

-Don't you ever touch her!

-Duncan!

Duncan!

-Don't you ever touch her!

-Get off me!

PATRON [OFFSCREEN]: Get off of him.

-Stop!

Henry.

Henry, are you all right?

-Yes.

-Sarah?

-What did you do?

[sigh]

Jake, help me get him outside to the wagon.

-Sarah, you can't leave!

-He's my husband.

-But you don't love him.

-I married him.

It's not his fault I wasn't cut out to be a farmer's wife.

He's a good man, and he's always been good to me.

-What about us?

-There is no us.

-Sarah, I love you.

-Uh, you love me so much you almost killed him!

-Sarah--

SARAH [OFFSCREEN]: I'm sorry, Duncan.

-Sarah!

SARAH [OFFSCREEN]: Bye.

MACLEOD VOICEOVER: Work through the anger.

Work through the pain.

I thought you were gone.

A hundred years of forgetting and it all comes back.

Why is it I can still taste you?

David knows--

the thoughts--

the pain--

the obsession.

He won't let it go.

He has to.

-He wasn't at Jill's.

I drove up to his workshop, but he wasn't there.

He's probably out looking for her.

-Well, let's hope he doesn't find her.

-I just wish we could talk to her, find out what happened.

-Now's your chance.

-Thanks.

Did he tell you how we met?

-Yeah.

-His woodwork.

I'd never seen anything like it.

I told him he must have a very old soul to

understand wood like that.

Little did I know.

We were happy.

Everything seems so perfect.

Then one day I came home and he said, honey, come here, I

have something to show you.

And then he took a knife and he--

-Then he healed.

-He said I had to know.

And I wish he'd never told me.

-He loves you.

He had to tell you.

Mr. MacLeod, I have a picture of how I want my life to be--

MACLEOD [OFFSCREEN]: Duncan.

- --kids, grandkids, a family.

It may sound stupid, but that's what I see.

-So you called it off.

-But he won't let me.

And he won't leave me alone.

He nearly beat a to death just for talking to me.

He told me that you're like him.

He trusts you, respects you, so he'll listen to you.

You're my only hope.

You'll explain this to him, won't you?

-I'll try.

[buzzing]

[knocking]

-You'll be fine.

KEOGH [OFFSCREEN]: Where is she?

Jill!

Thank God, you're all right.

I was worried about you.

What's she doing here?

-We've got to talk, David.

-There's nothing to talk about.

Jill, come on, let's go home.

-David, stop it!

-Stop what?

What's going on here?

-Give it a rest, Dave.

-Nothing is going on here.

Jill just wanted me to talk to you.

-I think she can talk to me herself.

-She's tried that, David.

David, she doesn't want to marry you.

She wants you to leave her alone.

-How do you know what she wants?

Jill, I know it's going to take a little getting used to,

but we'll work it out.

-She can't do it David.

-Jill, I need you.

All I want is for us to be together.

[thunder rumbling]

-You said you loved me.

-She said she wasn't interested.

-Get your hands off her!

-David!

-She's mine, goddamn it!

-Stop it, David!

-Enough!

RYAN [OFFSCREEN]: David, hold on.

JILL [OFFSCREEN]: David, stop it!

-Hi.

Well, don't all speak at once.

-Come on, Jill, let's go.

-No.

-David, stop doing this.

Can't you see what you're doing?

-I'm not doing anything but trying to take my wife home.

-Hi.

I'm Anne.

We met this morning.

Would you like to come back to my place?

We can talk.

-Uh, Anne, I don't think that's a good idea for you to

get in the middle of this.

-I think it's best.

What do you say?

-Like hell!

-Yeah, I think I'd like that.

-OK.

-No, David.

-Wait!

Please!

I need you!

MACLEOD [OFFSCREEN]: No!

KEOGH [OFFSCREEN]: Jill!

MacLeod don't do this to me.

No!

if I could just talk to her, I could get her to understand.

-She can't handle it, David.

-She'll learn.

-She won't learn.

She doesn't want to learn.

You can't force her to marry you.

-You don't know that.

She's not your wife.

-She's not yours, either, David.

[horse neighs]

-Go away, Duncan.

-I just want to talk.

-There's nothing to talk about.

-Sarah, please.

-Mister, get back on your horse and get off my land.

-Sarah, please!

-Go home.

-Come with me.

I left the newspaper.

We can be together.

-It's over.

-No it's not!

-You heard her, now go.

-It can't be, Sarah.

You love me.

-I told ya to stay away from her.

-Please, go away!

-I can't.

-Another step and you're a dead man!

-No!

-It's over.

-Sarah?

Sarah!

[gasp]

-Don't be afraid.

Listen to me.

Let me explain.

I wanted to tell you.

I wanted you to know everything about me.

-No, I don't want to know.

-I love you, Sarah.

-[CRYING] Please, whoever you are-- whatever you are-- if

you do love me, you'll go away and leave me in peace.

-Sarah!

-Here, have a sip of that.

-Thanks.

ANNE [OFFSCREEN]: Did you sleep OK last night?

-Not so great.

-Do you want to talk?

-I don't think you'd believe me.

-Try me.

Sometimes it helps.

-Really, I don't think you would want to know.

And trust me, not knowing is better.

-[sigh]

I don't believe that.

Look, I know that, uh, things must seem really bad for you

right now, but I've seen many women in the same

spot that you're in.

And you don't have to be afraid of him.

There are things you can do.

-David and Duncan aren't like other guys.

-What do you mean?

[knocking]

[door closing]

-We have to go.

-Why?

-Because David left my apartment an hour ago and

he'll find her.

-He doesn't know where I live, does he?

-But he knows who you are and he'll find out.

It there anywhere you go while I handle this?

-He's never going to stop.

Never!

He's going to keep following me.

You know this.

-I'll talk to him again, Jill.

-Look, she does not have to keep running away from this

guy, all right?

Now we can call the police and get a restraining order.

-No, the police can't stop him.

There's only one thing that can stop him, and you know it.

You have to.

-What is she talking about?

-Are you gonna do it, or not?

-Do what?

-I'll make him see reason.

I'll try and keep him away from you.

-You're not gonna do it.

ANNE [OFFSCREEN]: All right, this is ridiculous.

I'm calling the police.

-Anne, don't.

-It is the only way, Duncan.

You think talking is going to stop this guy?

If you think that, why don't you spend a Saturday night at

the emergency ward with me?

These guys do not stop until somebody is dead.

-I said don't.

[door closes]

[elevator bell rings]

KEOGH [OFFSCREEN]: Jill?

It's OK.

I understand.

[whimpering]

-You never have to be afraid of me.

I can't help being who I am.

Just because we're different, doesn't

mean we can't be together.

-No!

Please, just leave me alone.

-We can make it OK.

Just talk to me.

-I don't want to talk.

Don't you get it?

I just want it to be over.

-It's that woman at MacLeod's, isn't it?

She thinks there's something wrong with me.

Jill, we'll talk it out.

Just come back inside.

-No.

-I said come back inside!

Come back over.

Jill, please.

Jill, you're gonna hurt yourself out there.

Jill!

Jill.

-Oh, God.

-David!

Get back inside.

Stay there.

-Oh!

-Jill, come back over.

-He won't leave me alone.

-Yes, he will, Jill.

I'll make sure that he will.

Come back.

-I can't.

-Yes, you can.

Just give me your hand.

That's it.

-I got you!

-No!

Agh!

KEOGH [OFFSCREEN]: Jill!

I didn't mean this.

Why?

All I ever wanted was to have what other people have.

What will I do now?

-You walk out with me, right now.

-You always told me we could have

real lives, real happiness.

It was a lie.

You never wanted me to have her.

This is what you wanted.

-David, you know that's not true.

-Liar!

Were you jealous?

Is that what it was?

-David, stop it!

-Everything was fine until you interfered.

-Listen to yourself.

Everything wasn't fine!

-You lying bastard!

-Ugh!

-Aagh!

-Hiya!

Put the sword down!

-Go to hell!

Finish it, MacLeod, because if you don't, I'm coming for you.

-Then you come for me.

-You OK?

-I should have stopped him.

I should've gotten there sooner.

-Duncan, it was an accident.

-Yeah, but I keep thinking, there's something else I could

have done, found the right thing to say.

I--

-Shh.

It's OK.

-He wasn't always like that.

He just needed so much.

-Where is he now?

-I don't know.

-Are you going to try to find him?

-No.
