"This is unbelievable!" "I thought they only did ballet here now?" "This ¡s a music and dance benefit for refugee relief, I think." "Oh, yeah?" "And how did you get us invited to the rehearsals?" "Jenny, the girl who sings backup invited me." " Why would she do that?" " Because I am irresistible." "Stop!" "Stop!" "I mean, why don't you just cut my microphone and let her carry the song?" "And the light!" "Frank!" "Carolyn, do you suppose we could finish this technical rehearsal before opening night?" "Who told you to turn that spot off me?" "Carolyn, we have enough union problems as it is." "Jenny had a few featured bars, so he naturally thought..." "I want him fired." "Either you do it or I will, Frank." "Take ten, everybody." " Hey." " How are you?" "Well, we're having a couple of tiny little problems." " Carolyn!" " Look, I want him gone." "Listen, you're being really unreasonable." "Really?" "I am just gonna fill this place in three days." "This is my comeback." "I sang here ten years ago, Frank, and obviously they have not forgotten." "So face facts." "This is my show." "Oh, Really?" "And what are the rest of us doing here?" "You know, recently I haven't heard you utter one single sentence... that didn't begin with the word "I"." " I made you, Frank!" " I rest my case." "You know, when I re-discovered you, your career was history, and you were so hungry to get back in the game you were drooling on my shoes." "but there was some decency in you." "And now, now you're just another ego laden bitch with an attitude." "Whatever was special about you, you've murdered it." "Who the hell do you think you are?" "I'm a very busy man with a show to run, and you are just one element in it." "We'll just see about that." "Hey, listen, I wanna introduce you some friends, Ok?" "Ok." "Tessa, come here, I would like you to meet Jenny." " Hi." "Hi." "Nice to meet you." "And this here is my old friend, Duncan MacLeod." "Mac?" " Hi!" " Nice to meet you, yes." "Are you ok?" " Oh no!" " Oh, it's Frank!" " He's no right." " Someone call an ambulance!" "Just, I can't believe it." "I can't believe it, I mean..." "One minute he was right there, and then..." "It's ok." "Jenny maybe you should come back to the barge with us." "Yeah, I think is a very good idea." "Okay." "Then you never saw him?" "No, the lights were too bright." "You think he ran out the door?" "I only felt the draft." "Well, on that side of the stage, the doors are attached to an alarm." "There's also a stairwell leading into the basement." "There's no door down there." " Anything else?" " No." "What the hell are those about?" "Yes?" "I'm sorry." "I'm not disturbing you, am I?" "No, no, no, no." " You mind if I come in here?" " Sure." "Are you with the police?" "No." "I was..." "Oh, I'm sorry." "I remember you now." "Can I help you?" "Yeah." "Did you see what he looked like?" "The lights blinded me, so..." "Wildflowers." "From an admirer?" "I don't know." "They were just here when I came in." "You know, they only grow in the forest." "How nice." "Will you excuse me, please?" " Yeah, certainly." "I'm sorry." "Thanks." " Sure." "You think an immortal killed him?" "I don't know." "But there was an immortal there." "It's someone you think you know, isn't it?" "What are you hunting?" "A beast that bears no name, sir." "A demon that dwells hereabouts." "A demon?" "Has he horns?" "None sir." "But when he is cut down, he doesn't die." "He springs up somewhere else, like the mushrooms that grow here at your feet!" "It's a beast, not a man!" "Hurry!" "Leave him alone!" "He's doing no harm!" "No!" " He'll rise again!" "You cannot kill him!" " Enough!" "There are ways to bury him, so he will not rise again." "And I know of it." "Leave!" "Now, any man that witnesses the burial site will remain here and grow roots... forever." "Go!" "I won't harm you." "But I couldn't let you kill that man." "They won't bother you." "They think you're under there." "But you can't stay here anymore." "You understand what I'm saying to you?" "We must go." "Now." "Where was he from?" "How did he get there in the first place?" "I don't know." "You never asked him?" "No, he had a voice, but..." "he didn't speak much." "It's my guess Ursa grew up in the wilds..." "alone." "He lived in a cave." "We stopped there to get the few things that he owned." "But what would a man who lives in a cave in the woods... be doing in the heart of Paris, at the Opera?" "It can't be the same person." "Who is it?" "Who is there?" "My friends will be right back." "Who are you?" "You killed Frank?" "He hurt you." "You're not gonna hurt me like you hurt him, are you?" "No." "Sing." "Sing more." "He hurt me, and you protected me." "Like a guardian angel." "Is that what you are?" "My own guardian Angel who brings me wildflowers from the forest floor." "Ursa, Ursa." "Yes, I remember him." "He was a gardener at the Abbey of St. Cobain." "Before the Revolution when they tore the Abbey down... and used the stones to build some houses." "I lost track of him after that." "I was hoping you had some more recent recollection." "Oh, for me, that is recent." "Try some of this." "Oh, this isn't some more of your moss stuff, is it?" "No, no, no, no." "I don't trust you." "Are you sure is not?" "It's from a mold form." " Some more?" " No, no, no, no, no." "Look, do you remember anything else about him?" "The monks considered him as one of God's special creatures." "They kept his secret from generation to generation." "They taught him to sing." " Do you know where he came from?" " No, I... no." "I doubt if he knows himself." "He once drew me a picture of his home of mountains and a cave." "Well, strange that he should choose a monastery." "None of the monks remembered how he came to be there." "None of them." "Listen." "If you stay out here others like me will come." "You'll have to take their heads or they'll take yours." "You'll be safe in the abbey." "Men won't bother you." "And others like us cannot hurt you here." "Do you understand?" "That's music." "Men's voices." "You too could sing like that." "But you never saw him again?" "Until yesterday, I think." "It's a shame about the abbey." "It was his only true home." "Of course now it would be in a Suburb of Paris with its own subway line." " Subway?" " Yeah." "Subway." "Subway line." "Are there any woods or parks near the site of the old abbey?" "A huge park actually, yeah." " Then it makes sense." " What does?" "Well, Ursa has always lived in caves except for his time at the Abbey." "He'd be perfect at home underground." "In sewers, in subways." "The catacombs." "Those old tunnel works were used during the great plague to empty the city's cemeteries." "Yes, but what would draw Ursa so far into the city?" "The music!" "Yeah, the opera." "I suppose that it's possible." "Yeah, Ursa always loved music and beauty." "Come in!" " Wow, that's a hot stuff." " Really?" " Can I talk to you?" " Sure, Jenny." "Well, the guys in the band have been... helping me out with a couple of songs I've been working on and... well, they think they're pretty good." "Hm." "I'll listen to them." "And if I like them I'll try them out in rehearsal." "The others thought that maybe I could sing them myself, you know." "I'd like to try." "I bet you would like to a try, Jenny." "If they're any good, we'll try them out in performance... and see if the fans go for them, ok?" "Yeah, that's what I want." "That's all?" "At your age, Jenny, I wanted to be the star." "No, seriously Jenny, you deserve the recognition." " I won't forget this." " I won't let you." " Thank you." " Ok." " Bye, Jenny." " Bye." "Bye." "Let me just get this straight." "You're going down there and look for this big giant named Ursa, who's like, prowling around the opera, you think." "That's right." "And I'm going on my own." "Ok." "So I've taken you're around when they built the Paris sewers, right?" "You probably know them like the back of your hand." "No, I was actually not too much interested in sewers, you know?" "Well then, how do you know where you're going?" "Well, like the old saying, go as I'm going north by northwest." "Well, actually, I'm going that way." "What if the compass doesn't work down there?" "I'll get lost." "And don't come after me!" "Right, sure." "You know, great, big, dummy, giant, ugly Neanderthal, immortal, piece of... oh man!" "They're beautiful." "You're back again." "How do you get in here without anyone seeing you?" " Here?" " Yeah." "Boy, am I glad to see you." "The feeling isn't mutual." "I told you to stay by the manhole and cover me." "Now go back." "Go back?" "I forgot my ball of twine." "You're lost?" "Mac, I'm wandering around this place turning like fish belly white and growing this... phosphorescent tendril out of my forehead, like some bottom dwelling sea urchin." "Quiet!" " What?" " Voices." "I'm afraid." "I wouldn't have to be if..." "But I couldn't ask you that either." "You've already protected me once." "You don't like killing." "I guess I'll just have to go away." "Far from everyone." "Far from you." "And just hope she doesn't find me." "Unless..." "You could bring her down here." "No one will ever find you." "Or her." "She's already tried to murder me once, in my sleep." "Do you want her to succeed this time?" "Help me!" "What?" "What is it?" "What, what's up?" "What's going on?" " Oh, fantastic." " Stay here, ok?" "All right." "It's me, Duncan MacLeod!" "Ursa!" "Ursa!" "Ursa!" "MacLeod." "Ursa!" "You ok?" "Why did he attack you, if he's your friend?" "He didn't recognize me." "It was dark." "I told him who I was, but maybe he didn't remember." "Yeah, I suppose the old memory gets a little fuzzy after a couple of hundred years." "What's he doing down there?" "Why did he kill that man at the Opera?" "Well, that's what I'm gonna have to find out." "See you." "Later." " You will follow me again, won't you?" " No, not this time." "Friend, huh?" "Trust me, it's not exactly the kind of guy you invite over for dinner." " Au, Tessa!" " Sorry." " Hi, Jenny, right?" " Yeah." "Hi." " How are you doing?" " Fine, fine, thank you." "Have the police been back?" "Questioning Carolyn, mainly." "She's the only one who saw anything." "You're friend of hers?" "Well, I guess I'd like to be." "I mean, she could sing anything, you know, jazz, opera..." "But?" "Well, she can be hard to be around sometime you know." "I keep telling myself that she's just scared, you know." "That this is her big shot at a comeback." "How did she get along with Frank?" "Yeah, well." "I guess I shouldn't talk about that." " Why not?" "It might help." " How?" "I don't know." "Well, were they close?" "Yeah, they were friendly, at first." "And she was grateful." "He always said he was her number one fan." "It's funny with someone like Carolyn, you could almost see the gratitude... working like a poison in the bloodstream." "She started berating Frank like she hated him or something." "I guess it sound crazy, right?" "No, not really." "Some people hate owing anything to anybody else." "Have to believe they've done all themselves." "Yeah." "How did Frank deal with it?" "Well, like he'd seen it happen before, you know." "He was just kind of sad." "Look, I really feel weird talking about this, ok?" "Well, I'm glad you did." "Listen, stop by the barge sometime," "I know Richie's been looking forward to seeing you." " Yeah, sure, I'll do that." " Ok." " Oh, look, I hope you don't think that..." " No, I don't." "Ok." "Bye." "You know what bugs me the most about Carolyn?" " What?" " That I might to turn into her." "I guess that's gonna be up to you, isn't it?" "Look, we don't need to give twenty five percent of our money to some manager." " Who's gonna handle the books?" " I can." "Sure you can." " What the hell are you doing?" " I am getting everybody's attention." "We all liked the way Frank ran things." "Well he can't anymore." "I can." "I mean, do you really think Frank was earning his percentage?" "He was a parasite." "I mean, I know this is cold, but that is the way the world ¡s." "We were the ones making things happen." "We were the ones with the talent." "Just let me have a shot at running the group, ok?" "Why isn't Jenny here?" "I didn't invite her to this meeting." "I wanted to talk to you all about her." "She is not working out." "Come on!" "What are you talking about?" "She's one of the best backup we've ever had." "We all like the songs she wrote." "She is a distraction." "She is not what this troupe ¡s about." "Exactly what are we about?" "You?" "Look, we'll finish this later, ok?" " Ok?" " Yeah." "All right." "Uh!" "Up!" "Sorry." "Expecting someone else?" "No." "Where did you come from?" "A secret door that leads into the sewers." "But you've never seen it before, right?" "No." "How very exotic." "I want to talk to you about the guy who killed Frank Wells." "Sure." "I've a costume to try on." "Come along if you want to talk." " You know who killed your manager." " I never saw his face." " His name is Ursa." " If you say so." "He brought you the wildflowers in your dressing room." "I never made the connection." "I told you I didn't know who brought them." "Well, you do now." "So, why don't you tell the police?" "Why haven't you, if you know so much." "Who are you?" "My name is MacLeod." "And you are dealing with something very dangerous." " I think I can handle whatever ¡t is." " I hope so." "You took your time." "She'll be here any moment." "I found this in her dressing room." "She's going to use it on me." " Hey, fellas." "Am I late?" " Hi Jen." " Hi!" "How is it going?" " Good." "Good?" "Ok, well..." "I just got to go get my stuff, ok?" "All right, so... grab a sit and..." "I'll be right back." "Help me!" "Help me, somebody!" " Jenny!" " Richie!" "Richie, help me!" "Richie!" "Richie, please!" "No!" "Let me go!" "Let me go!" " Richie, you're all right?" " I'm fine." " You ok?" " Yeah." "Ursa!" "What's happened?" "What's happened?" " He took Jenny." "Damn it!" " Oh, that's terrible." "Don't shoot!" "At least you don't need batteries." "Oh, Mac, look, check it out, it slopes down there, what is all that stuff?" " The catacombs!" " Wait!" "Don't!" "Wait for me, Mac!" "No, please don't hurt me." "Why are you doing this?" "Please don't leave me!" "No, please don't leave!" " Friend of yours, huh?" " Very funny." "Help me, someone!" " Jenny!" " Richie, wait for me!" " Jenny!" "Jenny!" "Jenny!" " Richie!" " Are you all right?" " Yeah." " Are you ok?" " Yeah, fine." "Did he hurt you?" "No, he didn't." "He looked as frightened as I was." "I don't know why he took me down here." " Mac?" " What?" " Is he close?" " No." "How do you know?" "Well, it's a maze down here." "He could be anywhere." "Come, Richie." "Let's find our way out of here." " Me?" " You." "Go on." "I..." "let's go." "You know, I don't understand any of this." "He was like a confused animal or something." "I almost felt sorry for him." " Who was he?" " He's someone very lost." "If you're right, it would take the entire Paris police force... to flash him out down there." "Some of these homeless guys have been living underground for years." "Well, I don't think you'd flash him out, even then." "Well, we're also making inquiries at all the asylums and hospitals." "Maybe he has escaped from one of them." "Yeah, maybe." "And you, MacLeod." "You did well, finding her." "Well, I guess it's just beginner's luck." "And Miss, if you think of anything else, just call me." "Thank you." "I will." "You know your way out?" "Jenny, have you had an argument with anyone lately?" " Like who?" " Well, like Carolyn Lamb?" "Carolyn?" "No." "As a the matter of fact she's been really nice to me lately." "When the band wanted me to sing my own songs, she seemed okay about it." "They wanted you to sing?" "Well, it's not the first time." "Frank had a talk about ¡t too." "Carolyn didn't mind sharing the spotlight?" "No, she seemed fine." "I was kind of surprised." "Why?" "Oh, no reason." "Everything is gonna be just fine." "She isn't dead!" "I thought you were my friend." "You don't care at all." "Now there's someone else who wants to hurt me." "His name is MacLeod." "MacLeod?" "You know who he is?" "He's coming to kill me and you'll just watch." "You don't really love me at all." "Not the way that I love you." "Ursa!" "It's me." "Don't you recognize me?" "It's Duncan MacLeod." "MacLeod?" "He's coming for me, Ursa!" " No, I'm not." "What are you waiting for?" "Stop him!" "He's gonna kill me." "I'm not going to hurt her, Ursa." "Kill him!" "I'm not going attack you, Ursa!" "I don't want to fight you, Ursa!" "She's lying to you, Ursa!" "She's trying to fool you about the girl, Jenny." "But you didn't believe her, did you?" "You knew she was good." "I've always been your friend, Ursa!" "I told you, I don't wanna fight you, Ursa." "We're friends!" "She's using you to kill people for her." "Ursa, listen to me!" "Don't make me do this!" "You won't stop it, will you?" "MacLeod." " Leave me alone!" "I haven't done anything!" " You wanted him to kill for you?" " That is crazy." " First Jenny, then me." "He was a gentle soul." "You were friends with that ox?" " Yeah, we were friends." " He was a lobotomy case." "And you never cared for him." "He must have hit you over the head." "He was a simpleton." "He belonged in some zoo exhibit." "Ursa, there's nothing you could do for her." "Ursa!" "They rebuilt the old chapel." "You'll be safe here." "The brothers will take care of you." "This ¡s your home again." "I've got to be going, Ursa." "I'll come to visit you." "MacLeod..." "See you, Ursa."
