He is immortal.

Born in the Highlands of Scotland 400 hundred years ago.

He's not alone.

There are others like him.

Some good,

some evil.

For centuries he's 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 the world

Hey, MacLeod. You the new owner?

That's right.

Why did you buy this place?

Because it was for sale.

Well, I'll just pack up my office, all right?

I wanted you to run it for me.

Do I get a raise?

Don't push it, Charlie.

Hey, Charlie, there's no hot water again!

Hey, a new heater is gonna cost you four-fifty. I'm coming.

Hey, Mac, you hungry? I'm hungry.

What's new?

Come on, we have to eat. Let's go. I'm buying.

All right.

"Eye For An Eye"

On schedule?

Dead on schedule.

Sweet.

Yeah, thanks, Rico. Take care.

Rico's chilly dogs. There's nothing on Earth like them.

It's a good thing you're one of us. You might actually recover from that stuff.

- You sure? - Yeah.

I remember Tessa loved these things.

Mac, I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything.

She was part of our lives, Richie. Never pretend she wasn't.

I don't. I keep waking up every morning...

Expecting her to be there?

Yeah.

Get used to it. It won't be the last time it happens to you.

When does it start getting easier?

It doesn't.

Right. He'll be out any minute now.

I keep waiting to feel different, like somebody's going to tell me how to be, what to do.

What were you expecting, a set of instructions?

Mac, even Superman had.

You're not Superman, Richie.

There's an Immortal nearby, I can feel it.

Smile, you fat bastard.

- Good morning, Ambassador. - Yes, it is a good morning. Please... I think the first meeting--

Tommy, take the ambassador!

Excuse me, mister. You a mustard and kraut kinda guy? Personally, I like chili cheese.

No!

No!

No, Tommy, no!

"Chuck Solis"! "Chuck Solis"!

Come on, come on, hurry!

Mr. Ambassador, are you okay, sir?

Yes, thank you.

You're a dead man.

She strike you as the sincere type?

I was afraid of that.

I was staring right down the barrel of that creep's gun! I can't believe it.

Mac, right down the barrel, and I didn't even blink!

Is that how it feels every time?

No.

Only when you're a damn fool.

What's eating you?

That was a MAC 10, Richie! Forty-five rounds every second and a half. Do you know how many people could have been killed?

Yes, but nobody was.

Because you got lucky! What if she'd hit you?

Mac, I can't die.

That's right!

You take fifty slugs in the chest and you survive. How do you explain that?

As it was, a man died and he's not coming back.

He deserved it!

Did he?

Did you have a good look at his soul?

You'd better start learning the Game, and I mean now.

Fine, you teach me.

Come on, get up! Get up!

You don't get off the mat.

Try it again.

Get up.

Come on, get up!

And again. Come here. Back here.

Get up!

Come on, try and take me!

You're going to have to do better than that. Come on, once again. At least you got the yell right.

- No more. I'm finished. - Finished?

What are you doing off the mat without your shoes? Come on, get your shoes! You haven't even started to learn!

Learn what? Fifty ways to land on my head? What are you doing this to me for? What the hell did I do?

What did you do?

What did you do?

She's coming for you, Richie, and she's only the first. You've got to be good. You've got to be ready.

Oh, Mac, killing me is not going to make me ready.

Isn't it?

You know what I think?

This isn't about me or her. It's about Tessa.

Tessa's got nothing to do with this.

Bull, Mac, you can't get past it. I know.

You've seen a lot of people die. But you had to be the hero! You sent us out to the car that night. You could have been there.

Let it go, Richie.

No. You look me in the eye and you tell me you don't blame yourself for her death.

I'm trying to protect you from Annie Devlin!

Annie Devlin's in jail, she can't hurt me!

I'll see you around.

Ireland, 1919

But you can fight, MacLeod...

better than any man I've ever seen. With you on our side--

I'm sorry, Annie. You've put yourselves in danger for no reason.

Dammit, how can you say no?

Because this isn't my fight. Or yours.

Kerry's the man I love.

His fight is my fight, it should be yours.

How can you turn away?

Experience. I know how these things end.

It'll end in freedom.

No. It'll end in death.

For some of you, maybe. Maybe for some of them. But mainly for the women and children who get in the way.

Damn your stubborn hide, MacLeod. Well, at least have a drink with us.

To the cause.

No, Annie. To happiness.

Kerry?

Come on.

No.

Come on.

Come on. Go!

I can't run anymore.

That's okay. I think we lost 'em.

How much farther?

It's just over there.

I'm sorry about Kerry.

Don't worry, he'll have his revenge.

Come on.

Come on.

No, MacLeod, you go on.

Annie, you can't kill them all.

I can try.

Why don't you stay? It'll be a beautiful war.

War's never beautiful, Annie.

Leave with me.

This will never end.

It will when we win. Or when there's no one left alive to fight.

Goodbye, Annie.

Where are you going?

My place, the zoo anywhere there's no mat for you to dump me on.

If you come in second to Annie, you'll die forever.

I'll take my chances.

We know all about you and your pals. You're an outlaw, even to your own.

So save yourself fifty years' hard time and tell us where your people are.

Go to hell.

That's original. What's your real name, missy?

Your types have been using "Annie Devlin" for seventy-five years.

I'm well-preserved.

You're a disgrace to all of us, is what you are.

And you're a pig who cares more about his own fat arse than his people.

Don't you talk to me about my own people. How many of my people have your murdered?

Only the traitors.

You'll be eighty years old and all used up before you see daylight again.

I think I'll be seeing it sooner than that.

Not unless you give us something damn interesting.

You want something interesting?

For once in your life, do the right thing.

Why?

I don't know what it is but it ain't doin' you any good looking at it.

You want something?

Look, MacLeod, I've seen men chewed up before.

Let me worry about it.

Yeah, well, it ain't just you, man. It's Richie.

Look, I know you're my boss and maybe it's none of my business.

You right, it's not.

No. Yeah, but I'm gonna tell you anyway! You gotta back off, man. You're laying into the kid too hard!

It has to be done.

Why? Because of that terrorist woman? If that's what it is, you can stop worrying.

Why?

It's all over the news. She took a header from the tenth floor of the federal building.

She's dead, man.

How's it going?

Mac, hey. I thought I'd work out a little.

Good.

- Listen, you were right. - I was wrong.

Mac, I was wrong about what I said about Tessa. I'm sorry.

No, you were right. I've just been losing a lot of people lately. I don't want to lose you too.

That makes two of us. So, listen, tough guy... Want to beat the hell out of me again?

No, I'll take it a little easier on you this time.

Good.

Richie, look, Annie's escaped.

Don't look so bummed.

She'll be so busy hiding from the cops, she won't have time to come after me.

The cops think she's dead.

So, then they won't be after her? But she will be after me.

Yeah.

Open your legs out in this stance here. Sit down there.

Take the blade in your right hand and bring into that position.

Bend your legs. Now go for a parry here. Then you cut forward. Cut. Cut.

Parry. Cut.

Cut.

Lunge.

Good, now stay there.

Stay there. Don't move.

When you have your weight there, You're on the wrong foot, being off balance.

See? You're off balance. Straighten this leg. Straighten it. The lunge is here.

Good.

Back again. Parry. Cut backwards.

Here. Here. Backwards.

Go, parry, cut, parry, cut, lunge. Good. And back.

Parry, cut, parry, cut, lunge. Now go back to your parry position.

Show me your parry.

That's a little low. You're going to have to bring it up a little higher. Otherwise you're going to get cut.

Don't bring it down here. It's not gonna save you. You'll have this happen. Here. Okay?

Same on the other side. Just covering your neck.

Stop to parry the blade. Attack.

Come on. Come on.

High and low. Other side.

Here, here, here, here.

Come on. Come on. On the parry, you parry here.

And reverse, go. Come on, come on. See what you did? You also have the low angles.

Okay, I'm going to teach you Annie's favorite move.

It's your best chance of stopping her. I want you to come for a lateral cut to my right shoulder.

she'll come under your blade like this, bringing it back over this way, trapping your arm,

and coming around for the fatal blow. Okay?

A little faster this time.

So what happens if she does something else?

Good night, puppy.

There is a counter to it, though.

When she has you here like this, step back, okay? Ready? Go.

Now, envelop the blade and disarm her.

Then she's at your mercy. Try that again. Down from there. A little faster this time. Ready? Go!

Thanks, Steve.

I never thought they'd get her.

She died a martyr of the cause.

To Annie.

Mick. Neal. I didn't know you cared.

Annie!

I thought I told you to meet me at the lighthouse.

We waited, but then we heard you were dead!

Keep it down or we will be. You believe everything you read?

So, how the hell did you escape?

That doesn't matter. What does is the work we have to do.

The Ambassador?

Later. The kid first.

We know where we can find him.

Turn your hip. Turn your hip. Both hands, one, two. Yes. One, two. Come on.

A little harder, focus. Come on!

That's good, that's good.

You and MacLeod work things out all right, man?

Close enough. Charlie, I'm done.

Come on! So soon?

I like it here, Charlie, but I got a new bike to pick up and a friend I haven't seen in a long time.

Want some advice then, Richie?

Talk to me. Stance? Shoulders? What?

Shower, man. Your friend will thank you for it.

Thanks, Charlie. Catch you later.

- Thanks for the deal, Ron. Take it easy. - Take care, Richie.

Glad you could make it.

What's the matter? Forget your sword?

Sorry, I asked.

Don't worry. I will take your head, but first I'm going to hurt you.

What for? Trying to save an old man's life?

We were executing an enemy.

Don't flatter yourself, lady. That was murder. You were the one with the gun.

And you interfered. A good man was killed.

That 'good man' was a butcher.

His name is Tommy. He was my husband.

This is nothing, lady. I've had the crap beat out of me by the best.

What's your name?

Richie.

Say goodbye, Richie.

Goodbye, Richie.

- You still worried about him? Come on, the woman is dead. - Right.

What the hell happened to you?

You were right, Charlie. I should've taken that shower.

That's all right. I'll take him.

How'd you get here?

I drove.

It's all right. Adrenaline's a wonderful thing.

We've got to have somebody look at him.

No. He's gonna be alright.

What the hell are you talking about? We've got to get him to a hospital!

No doctor.

It looks worse than it is, Charlie. Besides, I think my insurance ran out.

Fine. Your funeral.

Take it easy.

You'll be fine.

That's very reassuring, Mac but it still hurts.

You got lucky this time, Richie.

You call this lucky?

You still have your head. I know Annie. She missed you once. It won't happen again.

Fine, so you speed up my training.

Not me. Charlie.

Charlie? What are you gonna do? Thanks.

If we wait here, it's her game.

She sets the time and the place. I have to get to her first.

How are you going to be able to find her, Mac? It's a big city.

I don't know.

Actually, didn't she say something to one of her guys after the hit at the consulate?

Like what?

I can't remember.

Think.

I can't remember. It was gibberish.

What did it sound like?

Sounded Chuck Solis. I must be wrong. Sounds like a baseball player.

Taigh-sholais?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's it. That's it.

It's Gaelic. It means lighthouse.

Go back to the car. Take a ride up the hill and wait for me.

Come again?

I said go back to the car and take a drive.

What's wrong?

Nothing I can't handle.

Are we enemies?

If it comes to it.

Not by my choice.

I couldn't have beaten you before, MacLeod. But now I think I just might.

You might at that, but I guess it would be a shame to waste this. It's Irish. A hundred years old.

Damn you, Duncan MacLeod.

- To happiness. - To happiness.

To the cause.

Alright, to happiness.

I still don't believe it, man.

Like I said, I'm a fast healer. Besides, it was mostly bruises.

So, Charlie. How did you get into this business anyway?

It was love, man.

My mom was black, my daddy was Italian. Trouble is we lived in a tough neighborhood.

And the "brothers" figured that I was Italian, so if they caught me, they used to do that to me. You see?

And for similar reasons, the Italians figured I didn't belong, so they'd try to do this.

Or even.

So I got sick and tired of getting my butt kicked, if you know what I mean.

Yeah, Charlie. I'm beginning to.

So, I joined the SEALS.

Travel? Huh? Meet exotic enemies?

Hey, I learned a trade, man.

Yeah, yeah, right, right. I'm sure you did.

Won't do you any good, you know?

What won't?

Getting me drunk. Acting sentimental about the old days.

Why not?

Why not what?

Why not get sentimental about the old days?

Because I'm still going to kill Richie.

Why?

It won't bring Tommy back.

It won't bring anyone back.

Nothing you do brings anyone back... once they're dead. Nothing.

You lost someone too, didn't you?

So we have something in common.

Not bad.

A little rough around the edges, but you've got a real feel for it. Kind of reminds me of me.

Thanks, Charlie. I'd say we come from similar neighborhoods.

Ain't nothing similar about us, man.

You think nobody else has problems?

Yeah, but mine come from being unique. You know what I mean?

I think I can empathize.

Empathize.

I want to know one thing. What did you think that I'd come back to Dublin?

You abandoned me.

I never abandoned you, Annie.

You abandoned the cause!

I never had your cause!

No, you just had your own!

It wasn't your cause either, Annie.

Liar!

How many boys did you send to their deaths? How many? How about Kerry and Tommy? How many more?

Damn it, MacLeod!

Come on!

Annie, I'm warning you.

Come on, fight! That's it, come on! Fight, damn it!

No.

Live forever, but I feel so dead inside.

Are you dead inside, MacLeod? Are you dead, or are you alive?

It never happened.

Funny. Seemed real enough to me.

Don't start with me, MacLeod. You know what I mean. It was an accident.

Maybe we should have had that accident years ago.

We would have. Didn't you know that?

If I would have joined you.

It doesn't matter now. I know what I am and what I have to do.

You don't have to do anything. Last night we--

Last night we were drunk!

Is that all it was?

It really doesn't matter, MacLeod.

It's a blood debt, you know that. Richie's life for Tommy's, I have no choice.

Then neither will I. If you come after Richie, you'll have to go through me.

MacLeod, it really was a grand night.

You found her?

By the lighthouse, yeah.

So, you were gone the whole night. You fought, right?

Not exactly.

Not exactly? What you mean not exactly?

Richie, it's complicated. Don't ask me to explain, but she's coming for you.

I want you to get out of the city until she gives up.

I don't believe this! What have I been busting my butt for?

To learn to survive and not get slaughtered.

Not get slaughtered? Look, Mac, maybe you couldn't face her, but I can.

Richie, this isn't about guts. She wants your head, and I can't kill her. Don't you understand?

I understand that I'm supposed to face an immortal. And you want me to cut out and run.

I want you to live!

Hey, Richie, you training today or what, man?

Yeah, Charlie. I'll be there in one second. Alright, I'll go.

I'll tell Charlie we're leaving.

No, that's okay. I'll do it myself.

Charlie, where's Richie?

He just left.

Where did he go?

I don't know, he just blew past me, alright?

Damn.

MacLeod! MacLeod, what the hell is going on?

Watch my bag.

Where is MacLeod?

He's not here. It's just you and me.

Good. Then you've saved me a lot of trouble.

Maybe not.

Someone has been teaching you.

You can learn a lot from watching television.

Tommy wasn't afraid to die. Are you?

Damn right.

But mostly I'm just pissed.

So am I!

You're better than I thought.

Yeah and I'm not done yet.

Wrong!

Do it!

Do it! I would.

You're a fool, you know? I'll come for you.

No, you won't.

He killed Tommy.

And he gave you your life in return.

This has to end, Annie.

How are you doing?

Fine, perfect. I'm alive, aren't I?

You don't look too happy about it.

I could have killed her, Mac. I mean, that's what I'm supposed to do, right?

Sometimes.

I couldn't do it.

I thought I could, but I couldn't.

Maybe I'm just not cut out for this.

You're still who you are, Richie.

You don't change when you become immortal. You just live longer.

Hopefully.

Oh boy, I'd said I've got a lot to learn.

You still have time.

Take good care of it.

Live with it, make it part of you. Might be the only friend you have.
