Original subtitles

I am Duncan MacLeod,

Born in 1592, in the Highlands of Scotland,

I am immortal.

For centuries, we have waited for the time of the gathering.

When the stroke of a sword and a fall of a head

will release the power of the quicqing

In the end, there can be only one.

"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"

En garde, you fool!

I am Duncan MacLeod

of the clan Macleod.

Oh? Dead?

Wow...

Geez, I ripped off a couple of cups and a bowl, I'm Sorry, all right?

Here..take'em. Thet're all in the bag...

I'll pay for the window... it's over, okay?

It's over when I cut off your head.

Cut off my head?

You don't think that's a little extreme for petty theft?

Hey dude, chill. your insurance will cover it.

Mac, he's just a boy.

You know what? You shold call the police.

In fact, I'll tell you what, I call them.

Got a phone?

There's someone...

I'm on, like a... America's funniest home video, right?

Macleod!

I am Slan Quince.

And i come for you head.

This is very uncool, guys!

We haven't been properly inroduced.

But you'll get to know me, my Dear

Mac...!

Did you come to fight, or talk?

he's not gonna fight you, Duncan...

Not until he's made you suffer.

Until he's destroyed everything...

you love in this world...

until you don't care whether you live or die.

That's your way, right, Slan?

Connor? what are you doing here?

Head hunting.

Sorry Duncan, but this one is mine.

Man, these guys are out there.

Let the boy go!

My challenge was to Duncan Macleod, not you,

whoever you are.

I'm Connor Macleod. Same clan...

different vintage.

Ah...yes.

Not two against one.

Thanks Slan, i know the rules.

You and me.

Now.

It's sounds to me like we're about to have company, gentlemen.

I just wanted to meet the charming lady of the house.

Until we meet again.

You look good.

All-right... this puppy is gonna walk...

I was asked to come down and identify a boy, who...

broke into my store last night.

Richi Ryan?

If that's his name.

Look, I don't understand... We caught this kid... we can make a good

case against him. But not if you don't press charges.

Sorry, No charges.

But Let me tell you something. this punk is trying to get off the hook

by saying he didn't break in.

he heard a distirbunce, looked inside, he saw three men

with drawn swords having it out.

Did he allso see a guy in a bat cosume and long cape?

Okay. Anyway, he had jewlery from your shop in his pocket

when we nabbed him running from the scene.

we got him dead to rights.

Sorry.

Can I talk to him before you let him go?

You Sort of a Father Flannagan, there's no such think as a bad boy

, kind of a guy, aren't you?

But let me set you straight on something.

You talk, he walks and he hasn't learned a thing.

This boy needs to do a little time in juvie to straighten him out.

Next month he turns eighteen, and his next visit here

gets processed through as an adult.

He goes to the big house where the cons will pass him around for dessert.

think about it.

This gentleman wants to talk to you.

Now you give me one excuse

to bust your butt while you're still here, and you do ten

on taxpayers money, punk.

Got it?

Oh yes, Sergeant Powell, I certanily do, sir.

He's all yours.

Honestly sir, I really do appreciate the second chance you're going to give me

to become a useful member of society...

If I let you out of here, I don't want anyone

coming around asking me about your little fantasies.

That is the deal.

Fantasies?

Oh, You mean like the one with you

and the knights of the Round Table...

Right?

I never saw a thing. Just made it all up.

I know i'm fast.

all my teacher's said so. Fast, but lazy.

My lips are sealed... word of honor.

Besides, who'd I tell, y'know?

So, you liberated this wine from Napoleon's own cellars, I suppose?

No.

This wine is only little bit older than you are.

Happy birthday.

Mac you crazy.

Just someting i picked up in the French revolution

From now on, I only celebrate Unbirthdays.

Like the Mad Hatter.

You're beautiful.

I'm a year older.

And still beautiful.

When we met, you were the "older man".

Much.

I mean, now... we look the same aga. Soon...

Tessa, you are the most wonderful woman I've known

in my entire life...

All four hundred years?

Not four hundred.

I won't be four hunderd for a...

another four monts.

The problem is, even when you are

four hundred... or four hundred and twenty...

you'll still look thirthy-five...

it makes me sick.

Good skin runs in my family. There's nothing

I can do about it.

From now on

every year you'll look at me and see someone

who looks older and older then you

, while you stay the same.

And it'll just be a matter of time...

...untul you want someone else.

No...

Or maby i will

You'll want someone younger than me?

Not exactly hard to find.

No.

maby I'll want someone i can grow old with.

You know i've wanted the same thing

To grow old with you.

mac...

I know there have been others...

other loves.

After a century or two,

do you learn how to cope?

Cope?

With the loss?

No. No matter how many years gobye;

or how many times you say goodbye to....

those you care most about.

when they leave...

Die.

Yes. When they die,

you are naked... and alone.

Why don't we stop thinking about...

what will is gona happen...

when I'm four hundred and twenty or four hundred forty or...

and think about what's going to happen...

later on tonight.

And what is going to happen tonight?

Well, well look who's here.

Yea baby!

There's someone here?

Someone with a long lifeline.

Hey.

Tessa, you've already met...

Connor MacLeod

I'm a friend of Duncan's from the old neighborhood.

A mere pinprick.

by my Count, you already look more like a pin cushion.

You know, Slan is mine.

You sure you can hundle him?

- Come'on. - No Problem.

Slan is mine.

Protecting Tesa is my job.

Good to see you.

You sure you would'nt rather use a sword, Connor?

I... ah... take it that... what you saw last night was new?

It is, as matter of fact, it is new for Tessa.

How long have you two known each other?

Are you related?

We're clansmen.

When i was growing up there was a legend in the clan...

about a strange man in my grandfather's time

Who was killed in battle, then miraculosusly revived.

Everyone thought it was witchcraft.

I thought it was an old wives tale.

Until one day...

I know, someone killed you but you didn't die.

And then i found him,

well you know, the way someone found me.

Connor taught me everything i needed to survive as an Immortal.

The rules... the tactics needed to win.

As someone once taught me.

Win what?

Why doed this... Slan person want Duncan?

Please don't say anything in front of the lady...

Let me just go in the next room and crochet while you have cigars and brandy

and talk about beheadings...

I've told Tessa some of it.

But i thought i was out of it. she didn't need to know all the rules.

Your'e not out of it anymore.

"There can be only one" - remember that rule?

One what?

One of you? Only one Immortal left in the end?

Is that it?

And what does the winned get?

The last one will have the power of all the Immortals who ever lived.

Enough power to rule this planet for ever.

If someone like Slan is that last one... manking will suffer an eternity of darkness///

from which it will never recover.

And you didn't think this was important enough to mention?

It's nothing new.

It is for me.

You can't stay out of the game Duncan. you've tried it before.

Dammit, Connor,

that had nothing to do with the game.

And you know that.

She knew the name of all the grasses... the wild flowers.

The song that told where her people came from...

how they lived... what they belived in.

I'm sorry I'm so sorry.

Do you think we ever lived like this, like a tribe,

together with a common Laguage...

a reason and a name for each living thing?

Did our people once belong somewhere...

a time... a place... however briefly?

Tessa?

Hi, hon... Want to see what I've been working on?

I think the face could use a little work... don't you?

Uh uh... not to close... drop it.

Drop it!

You came for me...

You know what some wags call me?

Slan the Cat

Because i like to play with my victims first.

Ah-ah-ah!

Don't spoil the fun.

Be a good boy and I'll leave her alive...

This time. I want you to think about it now...

I bet you think about it right now, are'nt you?

Ta, ta for now, kids!

You want to talk?

If I wanted to talk i suppose i'd be talking.

I'm an Artist.

I suppose to have this tremendous imagination.

But who could Imagin this.

Mac, I want to leave.

I think it's for the best, Tessa.

Is that what you think?

Is what what i think?

That I'm leaving you.

Yes... tha's what i think.

You'd think in four hundred years a person would learn how to listen.

Is that what you said.

I meant i want to leave. Not you... but this place, here...

the two of us... that's what i meant.

But maby that's not what you wanted to hear.

Let's go. We could be in Paris by tomorrow.

You think he couldn't find us in Paris?

Tessa, Slan won't give up.

You'll have to leave.

What?

There's no way you could have known what it would be like.

Well I Have an idea now...

So what has this been for you, theses past dozen years?

Was it like a summer fling? R And R? "Sorry darling, back to the wars, you know."

Damn you! Damn your Gathering!

Damn your whole race!

I'm not your enemy... you know?

Duncane you could never hurt so much.

I know you loved her.

But you can't keep them from dying, they all go.

Man kill man, we kill each other.

I don't care who does the killing, I'm tired of it.

I'm tired of the endless mindles fighting, i'm tired of death.

you can't quit.

I didn't ask your permission, Connore.

I know why you choose this place.

it's holy ground.

That's right.

I did asked permission from the old ones to build my cabin here.

No Immortal can fight here.

ever.

your allways be safe.

i'm glad you approve.

Connore, the battle between good and evil can do without me for a while

Maby.

But you can't stay out of it forever.

No, not forever, but for a while.

they'll find you.

eventually.

how do you feel, old man?

50 years younger then you do.

What's worng?

Slan called.

What did he say?

He'll be on Soldier Bridge tonight...

that's not all, is it?

When he's "finished with" you... he'll be back for me.

You know, I've been thinking...

why are you smiling? cuz i been thinking?

well anyway, as long as i can remember knowing you...

Oh, not again?

Excuse me?

you heard me.

you don't know what i'm going to say.

as long i remember knowing you

you've had all the fun and gotten most of the good women.

Lately.

Lately?

that's what i said.

What are you talking about?

I seem to remember that girl in London...

The redhead...

Healthy girl...

C'mon, that was almost 160 years ago.

That's what i said, lately.

You know what your problem is? You live in the past.

I don't have a problem.

Yes you do.

No i don't.

Yes you do.

No I don't. Stop arguing with me.

I'm not arguing.

Yes you are.

No, it's conversation.

Oh... easy way out, ha?

He was arguing.

Don't worry he's going to be ok.

You don't have to go, either.

I hope to see you again.

Damm... Sir Lancelot.

Mac.

Mac.

Where is he?

Where do you think?

I know... you have to go...

Tell me. Does anyone, anywhere know why?

Just... why?

Tessa... I won't be back. Even if I win.

After twelve years? Is it that simple for you?

Of course not. But, you didn't know...

I do, now.

It will happen again.

I don't care!

Tessa.

I love you.

Don't look so disappointed, Slan.

When was the last time you had such an enthusiastic opponent.

Maby you right. This could be fun.

Still worry about that pretty face of yours?

Just protecting my most valuble asset.

Oh, man. These guys should sell tickets.

Bye, bye.

Slan!

it's over now.

You're not even close, slan C'mon.

Finished it, Highlander.

There can be Only One.

Whoa. Chill man. Just... Just pretend I'm not here.

Go for it.

Oh god.

I know this won't come as a surprise, but... you'll live.

I should have know it, you never on time.

Slan?

I handled it.

As i said... you have all the fun and most of good women.

Connor... I'm not going back to Tessa.

I can't put her through this again.

I understand. But she won't.

What about the boy?

He'll need watching.

I know.

I will.

Mac...?

Duncan, is that you?

Connor! are you all right?

Yea, i'm ok don't worry.

Wher's Mac?

He's alive.

And Slan won't be calling you anymore.

Connor, where did Mac go?

He didn't tell me.

But I can guess.

Where?

You really want to know?

I tried to call you, but...

I love you! I love you!

It hasn't ended. you know that.

It won't end until...

We don't know when it's going to end...

We never do.

But while we're here,

living in this time and this place,

some of us are lucky few,

who will still have all the fun,

and...

all the good women.

That said, I gotta go.

The old ones are whispering that a...

you want to be alone.

Your'e welcome to stay.

Good bye, Tessa.
