All language subtitles for Highlander s03e01 The Samurai.eng

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.

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

You're beautiful.

You're nearsighted.

You never let me
compliment you.

Maybe because
I don't deserve it.

You deserve everything.

Hello?
I'm sorry to wake you, dear.

- Michael.
-But halfway to the airport I realized...

I left my briefcase
in the closet.

I just wanted to let you know.
I'm on my way back.

Hurry.
Would you calm down? He's still in traffic somewhere.

I know, I just don't want
to take any risks.

I love you.
Be safe!

What do you say, Akira?

Akira, isn't it?

Akira Yoshida?

What do you want?
Same thing you do.

I'm Michael Kent,
Midori's husband.

This is an authentic
samurai katana,

made by the great master,
Morimasa, in the 16th century.

Thirty thousand repetitions
of pounding and folding to make this blade.

You know, they used
to test the blade by lining up condemned men...

to see how many it would
cut through in one stroke.

This one did five.
It's recorded, under here.

Truly, a labor of love.

I was gonna talk to you.

Talk to me? You should've
talked to me before you started screwing my wife.

I looked for your briefcase
in the closet, Michael.

It wasn't there.

I know about Akira.

He won't be coming back.

It had to be that way.
You understand that, don't you?

Come to bed.

Do you know?
Do you understand?

You could never leave me.
Never.

Make love to me.

Come on, Jenny.
Move right. Move right. Come on.

Pick it up.
Okay, throw it out. Come on! Keep your block up.

Okay. What is that?

Full energy. Focus your head.
Now, don't hold back. Come on.

All right? Oh!
Hyah!

Any more focus
and you'd be eatin' through a straw.

MacLeod?
You son of a bitch.

Take five, Jenny.

Welcome back.
Good to to see ya.

Ah, good to be back,
Charlie. You're lookin' pretty good.

Yeah, you too.
Thought the doctor said to take it easy?

Well, he also said
all the parts work.

Oh, by the way,
you've got a visitor.

But I'm not even here yet.
Oh, I don't know how you do it.

Do what?

Somebody you know?

No.

I'm sorry.
What was it you said?

I said, are you expecting
anybody else, Mrs. Kent?

Midori.
What makes you say that?

You seem a little nervous,
and you still haven't told me why you're here.

Oh. I'm not even
sure myself.

Look, I'm sorry to have
bothered you, but...

I don't think I've come
to the right place.

Walk out that door,
you won't know whether it's the right place or not.

Does it mean anything
to you?

It means
your family name must be Koto.

So you know about the legend?

Promise made by my family
to yours over 200 years ago,

so the Kotos can always come
to the MacLeods for help.

Yeah, I do.

They told that story
in my family for generations.

My mother swore it was true,
but I was never sure how much to believe.

Believe it all.

Afternoon.

That was close.

Duncan MacLeod.

But that promise
was made by our ancestor 200 years ago.

Time doesn't weaken
a vow, Midori.

Kotos can always come
to the MacLeods.

You serious?
You'd really honor that promise?

On my life.
What can I do for you?

I murdered my husband.

Now will you still
help me?

Yes.

But I need to know why.

I saw him kill someone.
A man.

- He was my--
- Lover?

My husband was
a very powerful man.

I'll do what I can
to protect you.

MacLeod?
MacLeod, can I talk to you for a minute?

I'll be right back.

Gonna have to wait, Charlie.
I've gotta go to Japan.

Japan?
Yeah, you know, land of the rising sun.

You just got back.
That was Paris. It's a different continent.

Oh, very funny, MacLeod.
I'll give you the air miles.

Mmm.
Come on. Watch the store for me.

Don't I always?

Mornin'.

Hello, my dear.

It's him! He's alive!
He's come back!

Calm down.
Who's alive?

My husband.

It's him. Oh, my God.

Midori. Midori!
I won't let him hurt you.

That I killed him.
I know I did!

Apparently not.

I felt the knife go in.
I-I saw it--

I still see it every night
in my dreams.

How could he still be alive?

Your ancestors
would have said

But I'd say you missed
a vital organ.

Now try that.
It'll calm your nerves.

Drink.

I wanna know everything there is
to know about Duncan MacLeod.

I wanna know where he lives,
and what he's worth,

who he knows,
if he's connected.

Sounds like more than
business as usual, sir.

He knows my wife.

My family had
some difficult times.

Our business was failing.
Michael came in like a white knight.

He loaned us money,
and then more money.

You couldn't pay him back,
so you married him.

I thought I would grow
to love him, and he to love me.

But Michael doesn't love--
He possesses.

And I hated being an object.

Look, I know
you want to help, and I appreciate that,

but I was wrong
to get you involved.

I'm involved
because I wanna be.

Because of
an ancient promise? Yes.

Somehow I don't think
this is what our ancestors had in mind.

What difference
does that make? I'm here to help.

I married Michael
for the money...

I thought would restore
my family's honor.

Honor has nothing to do
with money, Midori. No?

They were going to tear down
our family shrine for a parking lot.

Hideo Koto shrine.

I don't expect you
to understand.

Do you wish to rest
for a while?

This must be another
western custom. Shall I have a servant bring you a pillow?

I will let you know
when I have had enough.

I'd like to see you
try that one again.

As you wish, honorable guest.

I think I've had enough.

I thought I faced
a gaijin with the spirit of a samurai.

What other western art
do you wish to show me?

Ah, yes.
The manly art of... boxing?

That was boxing,
and you can forget it.

Just show me what you do.
Whatever-- Whatever that was.

Feel your weight where
it meets the weight of the mountain.

When you swing your sword,
bring the mountain's power through you.

Bring the mountain's power
through you. What is this? Swordplay or poetry?

Both.

Good.

Put the strength into
your arms through the soles of your feet.

All right.

Mmm, you learn quickly.
Maybe you have a samurai spirit after all.

Maybe I just like poetry.

Oh, you might even
best me one day.

Not you, Hideo.

But maybe once
I leave this place-- No.

You must never venture
beyond these walls.

What are you saying?

Gaijin--
Whites are not welcome here in Japan.

They are thought of as a...

contagion, a disease to be
destroyed before it spreads.

But who thinks that?
The shogun, my kingdom.

Barbarians have been
put to death for over a hundred years.

Yeah, but I was shipwrecked.

No matter.
You are a barbarian.

If they see you,
you will be crucified. Yeah.

And then beheaded.

That's a pleasant thought.

But why do they hate us?
We're not so different.

What do you see?

A man. Hideo Koto.

What you see is not just
Hideo Koto,

but all the Kotos that live
and all the Kotos that ever lived or ever will live.

We are different.
Our rulers want no part of the West.

That is why you cannot go
beyond these walls.

Daughter, while I am gone,
you will attend to our guest.

Will you excuse me?

Hello, Mya.

Masako!

Excuse me, but I'm
taking a bath in here. It must be a new experience.

- I bathe once a month!
- You smell like it!

Stop! What do you think
you're doing?

Get out of bath!
What do you mean, get out?

Wash outside tub.
Soak inside. It is Japanese custom.

Well, this is a Scottish body,
and it can wash itself! Now get out!

Go on! Get back!
Masako!

Okay! We go out!

They call me a barbarian.

I can't get used
to wearing this thing.

Or to bathing every day,
it seems.

This is interesting.

It is a delicacy.

Looks like rare octopus.

It is rare octopus.

It's delicious.

- Your father's a good man.
- Sometimes he is too good.

What do you mean?

I will serve you as
my father wishes, but I do not have to talk to you.

Was it something I said, Mya?
Did I offend you?

No, please tell me,
'cause I do not understand.

Of course you do not.
You are a barbarian.

Barbarian? Mya!

I've brought so much shame
upon my family.

You don't have
to stay married to him.

I have no other choice.

Where would Kent stay
in the city?

He has a boat he keeps here,
theGolden Mystique.

Good.

Where are you going?
To talk to Kent to try and work this out.

Well, what makes you think
he'll even see you?

Because I can be
very charming... when I wanna be.

MacLeod. Aren't you
supposed to be in Japan, the land of the rising sun, man?

Well, I had a change of plans.
My business came to me.

You said if
I ever needed anything--

Yeah, that's
a standing offer. What's up?

I have to leave Midori
upstairs for a while. Can you keep an eye on her for me?

No problem. Look, do you
want me to keep her in or keep someone else out?

Well, someone might
be asking for her. Well, I could handle that.

No, don't take anyone on,
just get Midori out.

Well, if that's
what you want. Thanks, Charlie.

What have you got?
It hasn't been easy, sir.

The computers usually
come up with more,

but this guy has
very little history. You'd be surprised.

We found a business
on the inside.

And it's not much.
Cash flow is nil.

Just some kind of
martial-arts gym.

Dojo. Great.
That's perfect.

You want us to try
to find more?

No. I want you to go there,
and I want you to get Midori.

Trust me. She'll be there.

She'll be alone.

No. The back way.

Duncan MacLeod.

Welcome aboard.

You know, I really ought
to thank you, MacLeod. You've saved me a lot of trouble.

I know you're a busy man.
Not near as busy as you.

I'm just trying
to protect a friend. Friend? She's my wife!

- She doesn't wanna be.
- She told you that?

Well, of course,
she's upset.

We had a little, uh--
little misunderstanding.

She saw you
murder someone.

Did she tell you
who I killed? Did she tell you it was her lover?

You have any idea
what that's like, MacLeod?

Secret meetings, lies.
His smell on my pillow.

Of course I killed him.

What would you have done
in my place? I'm not here to judge anyone.

Well, you're no saint, MacLeod.
She's a beautiful woman. Is that why you've come here?

No. Long ago, I made a vow
to protect her family.

Well, now you think
you have to protect her from me?

She's my prize, MacLeod,
my treasure.

She's a human being.
Oh, she's more than that.

Haven't you seen
the light in her eyes?

The way the light
plays on her skin... like porcelain?

She's a work of art.
You don't destroy a work of art.

Let her go!

I understand this is
about honor for you. What about my honor?

I'm her husband.
She tried to kill me.Me.

Ah, she could've had
anything she wanted.

A man of honor doesn't come
between a husband and his wife.

I won't unless I have to.

She's under my protection.

For now.

If anything happens to her,
I'm gonna have to kill you.

We'll see.

You guys must be getting paid
a lot for this.

Feel free to join in
anytime, MacLeod.

Thanks for
your help, man.

Well, you were having
so much fun, I hated to spoil the party.

Hey, how long
you been gone? Six months.

Yeah, right.
So for six months, everything is quiet.

I don't even get a hangnail.
And all of a sudden, you show up,

and I'm fightin' to save
my teeth?

Don't thank me
all at once, Charlie.

Midori?

Oh, no.

Damn. I thought
I had 'em, MacLeod.

They must've got somebody
around behind me.

No one got past you,
Charlie.

Midori left by herself.

What's that?
Telescope?

It's a vow,
and she's releasing me from it.

Hideo, look.
It's the best you'll find anywhere.

Six generations of craftsmen
from Dover, England.

It's very fine work,
but what does it do?

Come.

Look through the end.

End.
No. This way.

It's the edge of the sky.
It is as near as my hand!

It's called a "spyglass."

Strange to think of barbarians
as craftsmen-- exceptional ones!

We have a few.
Now that--

that is what
I call craftsmanship.

Masahiro, the finest
sword maker in Japan.

It is almost 200 years old,
and somewhat stronger than your iron sword.

So I noticed.

Keep it. It is for you.
It's a gift.

I will honor it
as a token of our friendship.

I would like that.

Now I must greet
the men who approach.

Mya!

You will honor our guest
with a tea ceremony.

Father.

Come with me.
It is as he wishes.

Do I drink it now?

Guess not.

You know, where I come from,
they just pour hot water in a pot. Bottoms up.

Here it is not the end
that matters,

but the path to it.

I beginning to understand that.

But I'd still like to know
when to drink the tea.

My father asked me to do this
for you, to honor you.

When you drink it
is your choice.

Mya, tell me something.

Your father is my friend.
Why do you hate me?

Where you come from,

are friend and enemy
the same thing?

Where I come from, a friend
is someone that you would lay your life down for.

Then my father
is a great friend,

because he has given
his life for you.

What do you mean?

I saved him.
That is why he brought me here.

- You would not understand.
- Then, Mya, tell me, please.

By not killing you on the beach,

he has killed himself.

Why?

Because the shogun has ordered
the death of all gaijin.

And disobedience
is punished by death.

That is what those men
have come to tell him.

You should have let
him die in honor.

At least it would have been
an honorable death.

Hideo.

Mya has told me
everything.

Do not be distressed.
It is as it must be.

But not if our friendship
is costing your life. That is not right.

If my lord chooses
to have me die,

that is his right, and my duty.

So you're just going to wait
here until they come for you?

My lord has been generous.
They will come when it is done.

- When what is done?
- When I have taken my own life.

An execution would stain
my family forever.

My lord has been generous
by allowing me to...

choose an honorable death.

And it would be an honor
if you would assist me.

I can't help do that.

You are my friend!

And that is why I ask.

Because if I should falter,
you must keep me from shame.

You must end my pain
with a pure stroke.

But there must be
some other way.

We can get a boat
and leave Japan.

I could no more run
than I could fly.

Koto is a noble samurai name.
A name I have been honored to borrow.

To dishonor it
for all who follow me...

would be unthinkable.

I don't ask you to understand.
After all, you are a barbarian.

I have it!

When they come for you,
you run me through with your sword and you kill me.

You have a strange
sense of humor.

I will not die.

If I kill you,
you will die.

You cannot kill me.

When you found me on the beach,
I was not breathing. You thought I was dead.

I made a mistake.
No, you did not.

I had been in the water
for days.

I am immortal.

You have--
Know the difference between a dead man and a live one.

On my honor,
I am not lying to you.

You are truly immortal?

Aye.

Are many gaijin immortal?
No.

But some of
your people are.

Amazing.

- So what's your answer?
- I say no.

Why? You love life.
You love your children.

You cannot save honor
with a lie.

Is there nothing
I can do?

I have already asked
a favor.

Perhaps there is
one more thing. Anything.

My family.

They will always have
a protector.

Their children will know,
and their children's children,

that if the Kotos ever need help
they can come to Duncan MacLeod.

This I promise you.

I thank you.

And now, my first favor.

I will be honored
to be your second.

When it is over,
the sword is yours.

Welcome home.

I don't know, MacLeod.
If I was her, this'd be the last place I'd come runnin'.

She didn't run.
She made a choice.

What, you think
she went back to him? I know she did.

Well, if that's the case,
it's out of your hands now, man. It's not over.

Oh, no.
I've heard that before, and I never liked it.

Now, MacLeod,
what next? We go back to the dojo,

All right.
then I catch a plane.

Now don't tell me--
Japan, right?

Hey, you're getting
the hang of it.

MacLeod.

How did you know
I was here?

Where else would you go,
Midori?

This is where your heart is,
not with Kent.

- You shouldn't have come.
- When I said I had a vow, I meant it.

The Japanese aren't
the only ones bound by honor.

Then you understand why
I had to come back.

After all that Kent's done,
you still think he deserves your loyalty?

I chose this destiny.
I have to live with it.

What happens to me
isn't important.

A great man rests here--
Hideo Koto.

It's because of him
that the Koto name has remained great.

Not because of his money.

It's funny that
a gaijin would teach me about honor.

This is a mistake, Midori.
Why perpetuate it?

Honor.

It isn't about making
the right choice, it's about... taking the consequences.

And if I stay,

I can regain that honor.

My family's sword!
How did you get it?

From Hideo,
through the generations.

No! I released you
from that vow!

You can't. That vow
wasn't made to you, Midori.

You could've left
this alone, MacLeod.

That's just it. I couldn't.

- I'd never hurt her.
- Sometimes it's not the body you have to protect.

It's the spirit.

Let her go and we can
walk away from this.

I can't let her go.

And your honor
won't let me have her.

We're on holy ground.

Of course.
You're a guest here, MacLeod. Die anywhere you like.

Sometimes, I come here...

and I half expect Hideo Koto
to come marching towards me.

He died over 200 years ago,
yet...

I still feel him.

Maybe there is such a thing
as immortality.

Maybe there is.

I can't hear his voice.

I've never even seen
a picture of him, yet... I miss him.

How can I thank someone
for giving me back my life?

You already did.
