[door opening]

-Who are you?

What are you doing here?

-I've come to take what's mine.

-[screaming]

-Go on.

Scream all you want.

We're all alone--

just you and I. No one is going to save you now.

-I don't need saving.

One more step, and I have your head.

-I think I'd like that.

-[speaking french]

-It was a mistake to see my face.

-You'd kill a woman?

-Actually, I was thinking of a fate worse than death.

-Never!

Never!

-Never is a very long time.

-You're good, but not that good.

-Submit.

-Never.

-You're an animal.

-I'm the king of beasts.

-And I'm the queen.

-Robert.

Robert.

Next time, I get to be on top.

-Anything you say, my dear.

[laughing]

NARRATOR: He is Duncan MacLeod, the Highlander.

Born in 1592 in the highlands of Scotland.

And he is still alive.

He is immortal.

For 400 years, he's been a warrior, a lover, a wanderer,

constantly facing other immortals in

combat to the death.

The winner takes his enemy's head, and with it, his power.

I am a Watcher, part of a secret society of men and

women who observe and record, but never interfere.

We know the truth about immortals.

In the end, there can be only one.

May it be 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.

Send me to the future of your world.

[meditation noises]

-You know, you could do that up on deck.

The view is better.

-Calm is the spirit.

You should try some time.

-What you doing here?

-The place I rent is being sold.

I hate moving.

-Then go move into a hotel.

-I wouldn't stay at any hotel that Adam

Pearson could afford.

-Well, it's your problem if you're seen here.

-Anything interesting?

-I'll let you know.

-Oh, Gina and Robert de Valicourt are

getting married again.

-I thought they were married.

-They do it again every 100 years.

Madly in love, huh?

-No.

Gluttons for punishment.

-I was married once, you know?

I think I was married 67, no 68 times.

-You had 68 wives.

-Yeah, never one of us though.

That would to be too much of a commitment to me to make.

-You'd have to love someone a hell of a lot to be

with them 300 years.

Tough to imagine, huh?

-No, it's not.

Not if you knew Gina.

Fitzcairn and I were both madly in love with her.

-It's nothing to get upset about, Duncan.

-Nothing?

How could you make a rendezvous with both of us,

and on the same night?

-Especially with him.

-When two dashing gentleman invite me to two different

diversions, how I could refuse either of you?

All I did was mix up the nights.

-Well, he'll have to wait.

I was first.

-I'll have to wait?

I think not, sir.

We have a box for the opera tonight.

-The opera?

A bunch of overdressed donkeys braying at the

top of their lungs.

Ugh!

We had dining at the Prussian ambassador's residence.

-Out of high German, possible conversation,

sauerkraut for food.

Gives me gas just thinking about it.

-Shh, we've arrived.

-This is the Baron de Valicourt's residence.

-So they say.

-A baron who lives like a king.

-de Valicourt is the most notorious thief in Europe.

-And good at it, by the looks of things.

-How good?

-Too good.

The swine embezzled 20,000 Louis from me.

-20,000 Louis?

-That's a bloody fortune.

Fear not, my lady.

I shall soon have it back.

-No, no, no.

I will soon have it back.

-We will soon have it back.

-Aye, this way.

-This way, my lady.

-MacLeod, this way.

We will go this way.

-This way.

It's much easier this way.

-No, I can climb up here, my lady.

It's no problem.

Look at this.

I'm already up, see?

I'm already up, almost over the wall.

It's much easier.

-Allow me to assist you, my lady.

-Thank you.

-Oops.

MacLeod.

-I'll get it back.

-MacLeod, you rascal!

-Quiet.

Let's try this one.

It's locked.

-It must have been stuck.

-Look at all this.

-That cutthroat has been robbing the colonies for the

past 50 years.

-We just have to rob a little of it back.

-Well, well, well, what have we here?

Mice in the parlor.

And immortal mice at that.

-I told you there was another way in.

Didn't I tell you?

-Be quiet!

And be careful who you call a mouse,

especially if I was a rat.

-If you're a thief, I've never seen a comelier one.

-You're the thief.

We're just protecting her assets.

-And they are wonderful assets.

-If you please, sir, a gentleman does not address a

lady in that manner.

-I'll have his head.

-Don't be ridiculous.

You being dead would probably put her off her appetite.

Let me do this!

-I challenged him first!

-You call that a challenge?

-Gentlemen, it seems you both wish to

protect the lady's honor.

Unfortunately, I can only fight one of you at a time.

-He's right.

The only honorable thing to do will be to toss a coin for it.

-Fine, we'll toss for it.

Go on, toss it.

-I'm afraid I cannot.

-Why not?

-I haven't got one.

-So how were you going to take her out?

-A small loan.

-What?

For a--

-Yes!

-Thank you.

Lady.

Heads.

Heads it is.

Madam.

Here, hold that.

-Have we a quarrel I've forgotten about, sir?

Tell me, just for my own

curiosity, why are we fighting?

-Ask the lady. 'Tis she you've wronged.

-But I never had the pleasure of her company.

I'm sure I would remember wronging so beautiful a lady.

-I beg your pardon.

-You wronged me when you stole a shipment a gold

belonging to me.

-Hey, we're fighting here.

-I've been accused of many things, fair lady, but never,

never theft from such a beautiful woman.

-Let's get on with it.

Come on.

-Duncan, perhaps there is no need for anyone to lose their

head tonight.

I'm sure the baron is willing to be reasonable.

-In the face of such beauty, how I could be otherwise?

-You flatter me, sir.

-Say something.

-You call that fight?

-It wasn't for the lady, he'd be dead by now.

-Indeed, without her intervention, I would've been

lost forever.

-Please, spare us.

You were lucky it was MacLeod you were fighting.

Why, if it had been me, you'd be a foot shorter and an

octave higher by now.

-If a wrong has been done, I shall right it.

Allow me the honor or making my peace, over dinner.

-What about the opera?

-Why don't you take Duncan?

-I don't even like him.

-Take yourself to the opera.

-I don't want to go on my own.

-I'm not going with you.

-I'll come with you, to the German ambassador.

-Oh, you're out of your mind.

-I'll even eat sauerkraut.

-[humming]

-Hey, do you know when I heard that voice, I said to myself,

"that must be Fitzcairn." Either that or a dog in heat.

-What in God's name are you doing here?

-I could ask you the same thing, but the lady Angelina

requested a rendezvous with me today.

-Well, that's impossible.

You must have mistaken the date.

You see, sir, today the lady requested a

rendezvous with me.

-A matter of great importance to discuss with you.

Same date, same place.

-Not again.

-I see.

Yes, now I understand.

-What?

-Yes, and if I'm right, and as we both know, I'm seldom wrong

when women are concerned.

She wants to be a bride.

-But I'm not ready for marriage.

-Not you.

It's me she wants, you daft Scot.

-You?

Then why send me the letter, you daft English.

-Isn't it obvious?

-No.

-She wants to break the bad news to you with me here to

protect her.

-[laughing]

-If you were more experienced, you'd understand these things.

-Lady Angelina, so nice to see you.

Angelina you look radiant today.

-A summer flower in winter's garden.

-My two favorite champions.

I'm so glad you've come.

I reached a great decision in my life.

-To marry?

-You guessed.

-Well, actually, I guessed.

-No, you didn't.

-And I must say, my dear, you made

absolutely the right choice.

-I'm, I'm so happy.

I was afraid you wouldn't understand.

I know it's unconventional, but you're both

so special to me.

I can't imagine doing anything without either of you.

-Both of us?

-What exactly is it you want us to do?

-Give me away.

[music playing]

-You realize none of this would've happened if she had

come to the opera with me that night.

-No, she would see you for the raving lunatic you are.

And she would have been with me.

I should have asked her to marry me while I

still had the chance.

-You married?

You couldn't stay faithful to a woman for what?

More than one hour?

-I would have given it a fair try.

Tell me, pray, why you not ask her to marry you?

-I don't know.

-I'll tell you why.

Because you knew, with me still around, you just did not

stand a chance.

-No, it's because of him that we didn't have a chance.

-Oh, yes, him, that pompous aristocrat.

-See the way she looks at him?

-Yes.

I think I'm going to be sick.

-We'll just have to bear up and give them our best.

-Him?

The man who's taken the woman we love away from me?

-Well, look at her.

She's happier than I've ever seen her.

If we love her, we make sure she keeps her happiness.

Come on.

Come on.

Smile.

-And so they got married.

And as much as Fitz and I hated it, there's one thing we

couldn't deny.

The marriage was made in heaven.

-I distinctly said pink linen--

pink, not white!

Does this look pink?

Does it?

-What's wrong with white?

We had white last time.

-Exactly.

I'm sick of white.

-You said you wanted classic!

I gave you classic!

White is classic!

-You call this classic?

I asked you for a string quartet, not a rock band!

What were you thinking of?

-I was trying to get it right.

-How?

By not listening to me, Robert?

Tell me, do you hear anything I say?

-Every damn word!

-Then how come nothing ever changes?

-Did I come at a bad time?

-Not at all, Duncan.

You came at exactly the right time.

-What for?

To see you behaving like a spoiled brat?

-No.

In time to help you clean up the mess.

-What mess?

Gina, no, not the Ming vase.s Not the--

[crashing]

-What do you expect from a brat?

-So how's it going?

-I could kill her.

I could just kill her.

-So how long has this been going on?

-Too long.

This wedding is a nightmare.

I hire a rock group, she wants strings.

I get a string quartet, she'll want rap.

She's driving me crazy.

-Oh, Robert, come on.

Every marriage has its ups and downs.

You have to expect that once in awhile.

-Lately it's been all down.

I'll be honest, Duncan.

It hasn't been good for us since the '60s.

-It'll pass.

It's not just a wedding.

It's everything I say, everything I do.

It's like living with a giant vulture that's just waiting

for me to screw up so that she can tear my heart out.

I never thought I'd say this, but I think it's

over between us.

I think we're history.

-Robert, you and her were meant for each other.

No one ever loved you like she has.

You know that.

[music playing]

-Tonight, at midnight.

Duchess, how nice to see you.

My lord.

-Good day, Fitzcairn.

So nice to see you again.

-I wish I could say the same for you, MacLeod.

-Do you think Fitz knows she's married?

-Do you think he cares?

-How many women do you think Fitz has bedded?

100?

1,000?

-Lady Caroline, I assure you, Hugh Fitzcairn is the most

honorable of gentlemen.

-You cannot be serious.

-I'm trying to be delicate.

Caroline and Fitz, they, uh--

-What?

You and Fitz?

-They spent a lovely weekend together in a country inn not

so long ago.

-He stole my heart and my hand.

-Oh, so you're engaged.

Congratulations.

-Oh, Lady Caroline.

I must say, my dear, you look simply ravishing tonight.

-So I believe congratulations are in order.

-Yes, it's remarkable that they've stayed married for 100

years, isn't it?

-Not to them--

to you.

-To me?

-Yes.

Caroline just me.

-Told you?

-About your impending nuptials.

-She told you we're getting married?

-Actually, she told everyone.

-After your weekend away, why wouldn't she?

In 100 years, I expect we'll be here to celebrate your

anniversary.

-You're a lucky man, Hugh Fitzcairn.

In actuality, I spoke to Angelina and to Robert.

And they've agreed for you to take your vows with them.

So congratulations.

-Have, would you excuse me one moment?

-Is something wrong?

-I need to discuss something with my lady.

Lady Caroline, we need to talk.

I mean, I didn't, you didn't, I wouldn't.

Caroline is like a sister to me.

I hope you wouldn't dare to hurt her by bedding her but

not wedding her.

Would you?

-There's been a terrible mistake.

-Have you ever seen anything more pitiful?

-Calm yourself.

I would rather marry a horse's ass.

[all laughing]

-Oh, my lady, my lady, will my heart ever recover?

And for that offense, I demand the next dance.

My lady, would you mind?

-Not at all.

How does he do it?

-Charm.

-Helping yourself to a few cookies?

Angelina requested a private audience with me.

-She requested one with me.

I never believed the marriage would last this long.

-Neither did I. I would have given it a month, maybe two.

The poor thing doesn't realize what she's missing.

-Marriage is wasted on you, Fitzcairn.

-Who's talking about marriage?

Still, if I was going to, I would marry her in a second.

-Duncan!

-Yes, Angelina.

-Is Robert back here?

-No, I haven't seen him.

-He went for the priest hours ago.

I can hardly get married without him.

-If I may, I will gladly stand in for the groom.

-The line starts here.

-Come and help him with my dress.

-Is my lady speaking to me?

-No, she's talking to both of us.

That's the best offer you've had this century.

-Would you mind?

-Lady.

-Angelina, just a little token for your anniversary.

-Oh, thank you, Duncan.

-It's my pleasure.

Where will you be going on your honeymoon?

-The Indies.

Robert wants to go sailing there next spring.

Adventurous, no?

-Not as adventurous as Paris.

It's a dangerous place to be an aristocrat.

There's a revolution going on.

-Robert and I have been among its staunchest supporters.

This house is protected, as are we all.

The people know who their friends are.

-The people are great friends with the guillotine.

-MacLeod, he, he worries so much.

Nothing is going to happen while I'm still around to

protect you.

-My lady!

My lady!

Forgive me, my lady, but the baron has been taken.

-Taken by whom?

-Revolutionaries.

He has been taken to [inaudible]

to be beheaded.

-Nothing will happen.

I will take care of this, Angelina.

-Who was to know?

-Fitz, help me get this off.

-Now?

Do you think we have time?

If Robert is in trouble--

are you sure?

-I'm sure.

I can try it in a dress.

-Oh, yes, of course.

-Genie, you're mad to come with us.

This could be very dangerous for you.

-Why do you think I'm going along?

-He's right, for once.

The revolutionaries might recognize you.

-Dressed like this?

You are the ones who look like aristocrats now--

not me.

-Do you think we should change, Duncan?

-There's no time.

You know I won't leave Robert.

-Aye, and I'll not leave you.

-Neither will I.

[horses neighing]

-Come on, Fitzcairn.

This way.

-Where are you going, MacLeod?

-To Paris.

-Paris?

Paris is this way.

-No, London's that way, you idiot.

[crowd yelling]

-For crimes against the people you are sentenced to death.

May God have mercy on your soul.

[crowd yelling]

-The guillotine?

Why couldn't they just hang him?

-The guillotine is proved to be far more humane.

-It's a scientific fact.

-Are you ready?

-I'm ready.

-I'm always ready.

-Are you ready, Fitzcairn?

-Now or never.

-Get down, boy.

[music playing]

-Time to go!

-They seem to be very angry!

-I think we've upset them.

[crickets chirping]

-We've been saved.

This young boy, he's a real hero.

[GASP]

-This young man is my wife.

-I don't quite know what you'd do without me, MacLeod.

-I can't but dream.

-If we'd had been a moment later, she'd have made the

most attractive widow.

-Don't you ever stop?

-My friend, the only thing that'll stop me is a blade.

-The woman's been impossible to live with.

-So it's all her fault?

-Absolutely.

She's bossy, she's

opinionated, she never listens.

-Sounds like the woman we all fell in love with.

Robert, it's been 300 years.

You have to expect the ride to be bumpy once in a while.

You know that.

-You're right.

I'm such an idiot.

-That's the spirit.

-She is the only woman four me, and we were

meant for one another.

I'll make it up to her.

And this will all pass.

-Here's your chance.

-Robert, could you come here, please?

-Look, Gina, I'm sorry.

I've been a little uptight.

I'm going to have string quartet.

I'm going to have the pink linen, whatever it takes to

make you happy, my love.

-It's not the music, Robert, or the linen.

The wedding is not the problem.

-What then?

Name it, my love, and it's yours.

-What I want is a divorce.

-She's leaving me, Mac.

She's really leaving.

-Is there any chance you'll change your mind?

-She divided up the record collection.

-The vinyl?

She's leaving.

-I don't know what to do.

I've tried making up, I've tried everything.

Maybe if I bought her something special.

-I don't think that's the answer.

-There's a new Ferrari coming out.

I know this dealer.

-Robert, you could buy her every single car in Italy, and

still it wouldn't change her mind.

Whatever she wants, she doesn't want things.

-Duncan, she trusts you more than anyone else.

You could talk to her.

-What, and say what?

"Please, Gina, give Robert another chance?"

-You could think something better than that.

I know you could.

Please.

-Gina, give Robert another chance.

-He's had 1,000 chances, Duncan.

I gave that man the best centuries of my life.

-Then don't throw them away.

-Maybe it should have been over a long time ago.

-You don't mean that.

He loves you.

You love him.

-Maybe we're not meant to spend

three centuries together.

I mean, who mates for life?

Swans?

Geese?

Lobster?

-Robert and you were meant to.

You know that.

-Sometimes I think about the old days.

Remember when it was just you, me, and Fitz?

I thought you loved me then.

-We both did.

But not as much as you loved Robert.

When you set eyes on him, you couldn't even see us.

-My mistake.

Fitz is dead, and the old days are gone.

Now it's all habit, like putting on

an old pair of shoes.

We both need to start new lives.

It's time, Duncan.

All things come to an end.

-What did she say?

-I tried, I really did.

-What am I gonna do?

-Well, maybe you were right.

Maybe it's time to move on.

-I wasn't right.

She loves me.

-Then give her time.

-We've been together for 300 years.

She's part of me.

I don't know how to be anyone, except part of us.

What if something happened to her and I lost her forever?

I'd go crazy.

I couldn't cope.

-What if something happened to you?

-That would kill her, but what's going to happen to me?

You are one clever SOB.

That's brilliant.

You're a genius.

You challenge me, I let you win, she rushes to my rescue,

saves me, loves me forever.

-No, no, no, no.

It would never work.

She would never believe that we would fight to the death.

-It's hopeless.

-Maybe not.

-It's finally happened.

You've lost your mind.

Come on, Methos, you'd be doing them

an incredible favor.

-Read my lips--

N-O.

-OK, you'd be doing me a favor?

Milk?

-That's not fair.

You're making it personal now.

You, you think that I'll feel guilty when I say no?

-Sugar?

-You're wasting your time.

I haven't felt guilt since the 11th century.

I don't even know these people.

-Yeah, well, that's why I'm asking you.

All you have to do is act a little.

-Do I look like an actor?

-Oh, you've been the Watchers for years.

And no one's ever suspected you.

Don't you want to see Gina and Robert live

happily ever after?

-Yeah, but I want to see me live happily

ever after even more.

-Come on, Methos, they won't even know who you are.

You'll just be this mysterious immortal who's coming after

Robert's head.

Robert and Gina's marriage is in your hands.

-You're not listening to me.

I don't give a damn about their marriage.

-Well, I do.

-Is it really that important to you?

-Yes, it's that important to me.

-OK, I'll do this for you.

And you give me the barge.

-[laughing]

Right, like you're serious.

-Yeah, I'm serious.

I need a place to live.

That's the deal.

Take it or leave it.

-Fine, if that's what it takes.

-That's what it takes.

-Fine.

-Good.

-Good.

-Right.

-You better make it look.

-Like you say, darling, I'm an actor.

-No good.

-But who is this other immortal?

Where did Robert meet him?

-I'm not sure.

I think he's one of those young ones

that kills for sport.

I think he's good.

-You don't think he could actually win?

-I don't know.

Robert didn't seem have the old fire.

It's as if, it's as if he had nothing to live for.

-Blackbeard, Bluebeard, Drake--

I must have sailed with half the pirates of the Caribbean.

I kind of miss those old ships.

-Not me, I hate the sea.

-Why is that?

-I crossed the Atlantic to Iceland with a

bunch of Irish monks--

765.

Six of us in a rowboat, no facilities.

-Showtime.

-Robert!

Leave him alone, you bastard!

-Gina, Gina, you can't interfere.

Gina!

Gina, wait.

-It goes hip, hip thrust, jump back.

-Yes, go.

-He could lose his head!

-Gina, no!

If he does, it'll be the last thing that guy sees.

-That should do it.

Just give me a jab, not too deep.

-Where's your sense of drama?

-Robert!

-No, Gina, no!

-Robert!

-Gina, no!

-Sorry.

-Robert!

-Gina!

Gina!

-Robert!

-Gina, no!

No, Gina.

-You're dead!

Bastard, you're dead!

Oh, my god, Robert.

Robert, are you all right?

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry, Robert.

-You bring her--

-Get out of here.

-What the hell was that?

-You were supposed to keep her away.

She was gonna kill me.

-It'll be all right.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I didn't mean what I said.

I'll never leave you, Robert, never.

-Oh, Gina.

-I love you, Robert.

I love you.

I love you so much.

-I love you too, Gina.

-[clearing throat]

He's gone.

I think Gina scared him off.

I don't think we'll see him again.

-I do.

I'm going to find that bastard and take his head, if it's the

last thing I do.

-I knew it!

I knew it!

Getting between a married couple--

it's a rule I haven't broken for 2,000 years.

I knew this would happen.

-She'll cool off.

I'm just telling to be careful-- that's all.

-Great, so I lose my head after 5,000 years so that you

could play marriage guidance counselor.

I must have been out of my mind!

-Methos, come on, the marriage is in two days time.

All you have to do is lay low for a while.

They'll go off on their honeymoon.

They'll be there for 10 years.

She'll forget all about this.

-Stake your life on that, would you?

-Yeah.

-OK, give me the keys.

-What keys?

-Keys to the barge.

-[laughing]

You weren't serious.

You were testing me.

-No.

If I'm going to die, you're going to pay me for it.

Give me the keys.

-I can't give you the barge.

I just redecorated it.

-Nice job.

Give me the keys.

Come on.

-With friends like you, who needs enemies.

-I was just thinking the same thing.

Hey, hey, hey, off.

-What?

It's my chair.

-My chair now.

-You--

-You know where the door is.

Have a nice day.

-You saved my marriage, Duncan.

I don't know how I'm going to thank you enough, you and your

friend Pierson.

He didn't have to try quite so hard there.

-Yeah, but it worked, didn't it?

-Oh, Mac, you should have seen her.

She was an animal.

It turned her on so much that night, she--

we may have to try this again sometime.

-Forget it.

Where is she--

Robert?

-We had another little argument.

-Not again.

What now?

-I wanted you to be my best man, and she wanted you to

give her away again.

-Tell her either way is fine with me.

-You can tell her yourself.

-I will.

-When she gets back from your place.

-[choking]

My, my place?

Come on.

Come on!

Come on!

-Opera, opera, opera, opera--

a lot of opera here.

I'm going to something about this music.

There's no Springsteen, there's no Queen.

-You--

-I can explain.

It was a joke.

-I'm not laughing.

Where is MacLeod?

Dead?

-No, no, he's fine.

This has all just been a big mistake.

-Huge, and you made it when you tried to kill my husband.

I knew this would happen.

-Oh, my god.

This is a mess.

Would he hurt her?

-Would she go for his head?

-Yeah, she would.

-This is a mess.

-Gina!

What happened?

It's over.

The son of a bitch is dead.

-You took his head?

-He tried for Robert, tried to kill the man I love.

No one does that and lives.

-No!

-Sorry about the mess in there.

-No, no, it was all an act.

Tell her!

Not funny!

-Oh, I don't know--

pretty funny from here.

-Oh, really?

I think I should take your head off.

[arguing]

-What's the matter, Duncan?

Can't you take a joke?

-Fitz would have found it funny.

-So are you going to give me away?

-No.

-Oh, please, Duncan, please.

-All right, take her for god's sake.

-Look at this place.

Never seen such a mess.

There sheets are disgusting.

-Hey, enough with the mess.

I have to live here.

-Oh, I'm sorry.

My wedding present to them-- only one of

six left in the world.

-When I was living in China way back when, those things

were a dime a dozen.

If only I'd known then what I know now.

-Pity.

So what are you going to get them?

A toaster?

-You know, you were right.

They are a unique couple.

So I figured I should give them something unique.

-Yeah, like what?

-My boat.

-The barge?

You can't give them the barge!

-Why not?

-Because--

-It's my boat.

I do what I like with it.

-Fine.

-But then I figured that probably everyone would give

something unique, so I went with a toaster.

You keep the barge.

I hate the water.

Mess clean up.

THEME SONG: And here we are.

We're the princes of the universe.

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.

Send me to the future of your world.
