"White House today declared a state of national emergency." "The President urged all Americans to..." "In Africa,... where shelter from the sun is almost non-existent... the dead and dying number in the millions." "Only a few months now... until the ozone layer is completely gone." "A team of international scientist,... led by Dr. Alan Neyman... and supervised by Connor MacLeod... work around the clock." "This may be the last chance for planet Earth." "They'll remember this day for a thousand years." "The day we protected the planet... from the sun." "All personnel, please leave the area." "We are standing the final countdown." "All personnel, please leave the area." "We are standing the final countdown." "T.S.C., this is Florida control." "All power for the Shield is..." "All systems are go." "Please run final checks on all Shield power amps." "All personnel, please leave the area." "We are starting the final countdown." "T.S.C., this is Houston Space Control." "Satellite is in final receiving position." "You can start final countdown." "Stand by... this is it." "Roger control." "We are standing by." "This is it !" "Florida Control, this is T.S.C..." "December Shield Installation is ready to receive." "To all power sources around the world, this is T.S.C." "We are ready to receive." "Launch minus ten..." "Ten seconds and counting." "Okay, let's make this a good one." "The world is watching." "Four... three... two... one... ignition." "The Shield 25 years ago it was our Saviour" "But now, no sun... no stars" "Only heat and humidity" "It drains the energy from the whole world" "We're falling apart" "Going backward" "Old cars, old planes, old dreams" "The cure is worse than the disease" "Good evening and welcome to TSC's nightly report" "Today the Shield Corporation the world's largest private company was accused of monopoly and price fixing" "Alan Neyman, president of TSC was unavailable for comment" "At its regular monthly report the Shield Corporation announced record profits for its fiscal year ending November 2024" "And now for the weather" "The temperature at 97 with humidity constant at 97" "No rain, no clouds, no thunder no lightning, no nothing" "As usual under the Shield" "Remember Highlander..." "Remember your home." "Another galaxy." "You were chosen." "Remember ?" "Yes.." "Yes, I remember" "The beginning... 500 years ago" "On the planet Zeist" "We planned rebellion" "We met in secret always careful to avoid our deadly enemy" "General Katana" "Free men of the planet Zeist, hear me." "You gather together in secret for the last time." "You suffer under the yoke of General Katana's rule." "for the last time." "You stand without a leader... for the last time." "Will you lead us, Ramirez ?" "No, I'm not your leader." "But because I see with eyes different from yours..." "I see a man... with a great destiny before him." "Who is he?" "Show him to us." "Let him show himself." "Let him feel the Quickening !" "Yes... you !" "The ancient power of the Quickening has joined us." "We are now as one." "How do we start ?" "Not we." "You." "And you start with Katana." "General Katana is attacking." "Break ranks, keep moving." "General Katana..." "I want MacLeod." "Find the one they call Ramirez." "And what about the others ?" "Kill them." "I want all their heads" "So deadly in their own environment" "So tame and so vile in mind" "Maybe their just waiting" "Waiting for what?" "For you to get careless" "Maybe they are" "But as of tomorrow waiting won't be an option for you, will it?" "You sure?" "Leaders of the Rebellion,... you have been found guilty of treason." "We hereby sentence you to exile from Zeist." "You'll be sent to the planet Earth." "Once there, you will be immortal." "You can only die if your head is cut from your body." "When one of you becomes the last of us on Earth... receive or claim the Prize." "He can return to Zeist or choose to grow old and die on Earth..." "Will we be together on earth ?" "Not at first." "But we are joined in a way that can never be broken." "Not even by death." "When you need me,... you'll only have to call my name." "I'll always find you." "If I win the Prize, I'll be back." "Just remember." "The Quickening !" "It sounds like magic." "It is... kind of." "Prepare yourselves." "There can be only one." "Okay, Mr. MacLeod, the show is over." "I thought so too, Charley." "I really did." "Come on, Louise, let's do it." "Here it is." "We've got thirty seconds to get a clear reading." "Impossible, radiation levels can't be normal." "Blue Alert !" "All right, come on, hurry up." "Check the oxygen !" "Three zero point four four..." "Run" "Go, go, go" "Shoot!" "Shoot!" "Let's split up !" "Hey, Jimmy..." "Mr. MacLeod,... how are you doing ?" "Good... good." "All right... all right." " Usquebaugh ?" " Usquebaugh." "Here you go." "Reports have just come in of a terrorist attack... at the December Installation." "According to information available at this time,... the group calling themselves COBALT successfully made... an attempt to enter December for propaganda purposes." "The Shield Corporation had this to comment..." "What COBALT is doing is insanity !" "Any tampering with the Shield of any kind... endangers the lives of every man, woman and child on the planet."

"Hey, are you MacLeod ?" "Hey, I asked you a question !" "Are you MacLeod ?" "Yes, I am." "Great" "I always wanted to meet the guy that turned the world to shit !" "Well, he saved our lives, if you ask me." "I'm not asking you." "Okay, what do you want ?" "Did you ever think... about that before you covered the sky with that puke ?" "Who are you ?" "Me?" "I'm nobody... alright?" "I work all day and my life stinks... and it's your goddamn fault, you old bastard." "Don't turn your back on me !" "Hey, hey, hey, hey" "Okay, Miss Nobody, you're out of here !" "Come on, come on." " I'll see you again." " Anytime." "Oh Jesus." "Why do they always pick my place ?" "You know what I'm saying ?" " I'm sorry, Mr. MacLeod." " No problem, Jimmy." "Watch out !" "Son-of-a-bitch !" "Are you all right ?" "Yeah, I'll be fine." "You just hang in there, Mr. MacLeod, I'll be right back." "Hey you, come back here !" "I'm talking to you !" "Mr. MacLeod ?" "I'm Louise Marcus." "Terror is a dangerous business, Miss Marcus." "I'm not a terrorist." "Whatever you are, Miss Marcus you'll have to excuse me." "Good-bye, Miss Marcus." "You know, I used to read about you." "You had such great passion for the world." "I admired you." "I can see that's all gone now." "You're nothing but a tired old man." "More than you know." "Oh no, you don't." "The world is dying, MacLeod." "I need your help." "Please get out of the car." "No way." "Suit yourself." "Listen MacLeod" "When I broke into December installation tonight... the numbers and figures I saw didn't add up." "Something's wrong and Blake's trying to cover it up." "What do you want me to do ?" " Help me." " I can't." "Not now." "Look, I'm not making this up." "I used to work for the Shield Corporation." "When I started asking too many questions," "I was threatened then fired" "I don't blame them." "Don't be such an asshole !" "What happened to the MacLeod everyone believed in ?" "That was forty years ago." "Where are you?" "You leave for the planet Earth immediately" "Find MacLeod and kill him" "But I thought you said MacLeod was mortal and can never return" "Find him for me." "Kill him." "So hard to get good help" "Are you all right ?" "What's the matter ?" " Who are they ?" " I don't know." "MacLeod" "What was that, just a lucky guess ?" "Wait a minute, what are we doing ?" "Get in there and don't make a sound !" "In here?" " You gotta be kidding ?" " Come on !" " Let me have him." " But I want him." "It's my turn." "MacLeod" "You're going to die !" "Ramirez !" "My old friend, Ramirez !" "Thank you !" "Time to say good-bye, Highlander." "Why ?" "You going somewhere ?" "Hey, you got a light ?" "Ramirez !" "Alas, poor Yorik !" "I knew him, Horatio." "Alas, poor Yorik !" "I knew him, Horatio." "Actually, the name is Ramirez." "Will you get out of here ?" "Excuse me ?" "A fellow of infinite jest... of most excellent fancy." "Forgive me for interrupting your conversation but..." "He had borne me upon his back... thousand times." "And now, how abhorred in my imagination it is !" "My gorge rises at it." "Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know not how" "Sir, whatever you gentlemen felt for each other when... your friend was still alive, is none of my affair." "What's your fucking game, shithead ?" "Shithead ?" "What's a shithead ?" "Get off the stage !" "My apologies..." "Enough of this useless banter." "I shall be on my way... and leave you to converse with your skull." "Farewell... dear shithead !" "Farewell..." "I'm rather glad the magic works." "So much for the horse and cart." "Louise" "Who are you ?" "I'm Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod." "I was banished from the planet, Zeist, 500 years ago." "And I cannot die." "I'm Louise Marcus from Flagstaff, Arizona." "Let me just see if I can get this straight." "You come from another planet and you're mortal there... but you're immortal here... until you kill all the guys from there who have come here." "And then, you're mortal here." "Unless, you go back there... or some more guys from there come here... in which case, you become immortal here... again." "Something like that." "It would be something like that, wouldn't it ?" " Quite a night !" " Tell me about it." "You think I do this every Saturday night ?" "Let's say it's a kind of magic." "That's not what I was talking about." "So... what do you want me to do ?" "You built the Shield." "Maybe, you can figure out what's going on up there." "What are you saying ?" "Something is being kept very, very quiet ?" "Even your old pal, Alan's on a tight leash." "I couldn't get anyone to listen to me." "So you started COBALT." "Got your face on national T.V." "Why ?" "Of course, somebody had to get people's attention." "Start asking questions." "Find out the truth." "Someone like you ?" "No... damn it !" "Someone like you." "I can't even make a decent cup of coffee anymore." "You always use too much water." "Mac,..." "Alan" "Where the hell have you been ?" "So glad you're here" "So many things have happened." "We must talk." "OK" "Good God" "You look fantastic !" "You had a facelift?" "Something like that" "Good Heavens" "Can you give me the secret?" "I could really use it." "I need a favor." "A favor ?" "You'll have to talk to the sharks." "I'm only a little fish." "It's only a little favor." "Never mind that, Mac, you don't know what's happened." "It's wonderful... come here..." "Forgive me, Alan." "I didn't realize you got in this early." "Not usually." "But we got to talking..." "Forgive me." "David Blake..." "Connor MacLeod." "Ah yes." "Of course." "I'm afraid I've forgotten you were still alive." "Always !" "Something on the computer ?" "No, no, no, nothing I won't remember." "Alan, as long as we have you here,... we might just as well, get off to an early start." " My office ?" "All right." "MacLeod, I'm terribly sorry to have to break this up... but I trust you can find your own way out." "Sure... take care of yourself, Alan." "By the way, how is the Shield business ?" "It must be great to have every country in the world as your customer." "We prefer to think that we protect the population... of the planet from death by solar radiation." "It is a rather unique service." "Don't you agree ?" "As long as it's necessary." "Meaning ?" "Maybe, one day the ozone layer will repair itself." "That would be a great day for the human race, wouldn't it ?" "But it really makes no difference anymore... since you built the Shield to last forever." "Nothing..." "lasts forever." "I guess if you want something done" "You have to do it yourself" "That was great !" "Where the hell am I ?" "This sure doesn't look like Kansas... does it ?" "Nice material." "You're little, aren't you ?" "Bet you've always wanted to drive one of these." "Me too !" "Give me more !" "Let's have some fun !" "Last stop !" "It was all going to be so good So clean" "And for one brief moment.." "it was" "I used to wish you were here to see it" "But not anymore" "Not after what it has become" "What it's done to us" "Bravo, Bravo, excellent" "I always did admire a man who could talk to the dead" "Its so good to see you again MacLeod" "The remains of your mortal wife" "So frail" "So earthy" "So very dead" "At least she's at peace" "Peace is highly overrated" "Things don't change, Katana" "I like that" "After all these years" "You're still a jerk" "You're not coming back to Zeist, MacLeod" "I never planned to" "What do you mean?" "After all this time I was ready to kick back, crawl and die" "Then you sent those spunks down here" "You changed everything" "And now I'm back to square one" "Immortal!" "Again!" "So Katana, let's see who goes back to Zeist after all" "I rather like this place." "It's got atmosphere" "I just might stay" "Get off!" "Remember the golden rule Highlander" "We must never fight on holy ground" "And this .... is holy ground" "Ashes to ashes Dust to dust" "If you don't take it out and use it" "It's going to rust" "Excellent threads, dude" "Shithead" " May I help you, sir ?" " I would like a suit of clothes" "And why not indeed !" "We are the oldest gentlemen's tailor in Scotland." "Well then, I've come to the right place... since I am without a doubt the oldest gentlemen in Scotland." "Well, if you say so, sir" "Well, let's get started" "I have a long journey ahead of me and limited time" "I'm afraid, sir still doesn't understand" "A suit may take several weeks to complete." "I'm afraid sir damn well does understand" "And sir would like his suit of clothes by three o'clock" "There's nothing like a challenge... to bring out the best in man" "With our compliments, sir" "Thank you, Roy" "Can we arrange a limo for you, sir ?" "Limo?" "Yes, to take you to the airport" "Airport?" "You did say you had a long journey ahead of you" "Yes" "I believe the fastest way is still to fly" "To fly ?" "Yes, of course" "Fly.." "Good-bye, sir" "Forgive me for asking yet again but... how do we remain so high above the earth with safety ?" "Welcome to your Trans-Atlantic flight." "Please fasten your seat belts" "In the unlikely event of a loss of cabin pressure... oxygen masks will drop from the ceiling" "Place it over your mouth and nose and breath normally." "In case of fire Please do not panic" "Place smoke hood over your head and crawl to your nearest exit." "Thank you for flying with us and enjoy your flight" "But on the contrary Virginia all of the most beautiful women had dark hair." "Helen of Troy, Cleopatra, Nefertiti," "Joan of Arc, to name but a few" "In fact, it's well known that the dark-haired ladies..." "Would you like to order something ?" "Thank you." "May I have some water, please ?" "Something else for you, sir ?" "No, thank you." "I never eat anything I cannot identify." "That's not exactly true of course." "On 3..." "Break!" "Red 36, Blue 21 Hike!" "Hike!" "Hike!" "Ship's log" "The Rosemary December 6 1858" "My name's Jerry Pritchard, man" "What do they call you ?" "It's quite comfortable back here... rather like a coffin." "You're in the music business, aren't you ?" "Call it a hunch." "I knew that." " Stop now!" " What, here ?" "Now !" "This is a good place to stop." "God-damn !" "Whoa Shit, F....." "I'll get out here." "Oh Wow!" "Yeah out of control, you and my sister, man, forget it" "I should insist you two sit around and compare tattoos." "or something Man, You're crazy !" "What's next, man ?" "Central Control, Jerry Pritchard" "Shit, I should've stayed in school." "Just take it easy, all right ?" "Come on, come on." "Central ?" "Central ?" "Shit, man" "Put all this on my tab" "And Jerry, add little something for yourself." "Gentlemen... as I believe you know... there's been a bit of shuffling of the deck here... since yesterday." "As a result which can now assure you that COBALT... will no longer be a problem." "In fact, earlier today, in our August installation... the Shield Police were once again able to stop an attempt at..." "Hi..." "Excuse me but I do believe that you'll find the... costume parade is located in another building." "This happens to be a meeting and no one interrupts... a meeting of the Corporation." "The Corporation." "What luck !" "You see I've come to join your Corporation." "And here you all are" "Where do I sign up ?" "I think I've had enough of you." "Good-bye, Attila." "Yeah, Yes indeed" "That was brilliantly done." "Yes..." "You know guys this is no way to treat your number one draft choice." "Partners..." "I believe you cannot run... business without partners." " This is a business, isn't it ?" " Yes, it is." "Ah" "We like to think of it as a good business." "Mmm." "What exactly is it that you want... partner?" "Ahh." "The Highlander." "Right." "Please don't bother, Alan." "Every time you turn that thing on, it just gets printed out in my office." "And yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, that includes your little computer conversation with MacLeod the other day." "Besides, what good could you possible do, old man?" "What do you mean?" "Ho-oh, I don't know." "How about for starters, that there simply isn't enough energy on the planet to take down the shield without killing us all." "If I'm going too fast, slow me down." "But I think you should know this all, Alan." "I mean, you designed the thing." "You and this MacLeod." "But that was only in case the shield was threatened." "Well, that's funny, Alan!" "'Cause I was under the impression that that's precisely what had happened." "But it really doesn't matter now, does it?" "Why don't you and I try and relax." "No tears." "Because it's business as usual... forever." "You've allowed yourself to become a traitor, Alan." "And, as I think you know, we have a fabulous place for traitors" "Who's the girl in the painting ?" "That was Heather." "My first wife." "We lived in Scotland in 1542." "What was she like ?" "Full of love." "Full of life... till the end." "I held her in my arms when she died." "An old woman." "I still loved her." "And the other ?" "That's Brenda." "My last wife." "She was beautiful." "She was." "She died in New York, 29 years ago." "That's a long time to be alone." "You get used to it." "Do you really ?" "No.." "What is it ?" "Oh no, not again." "Go upstairs." "Greetings, Highlander." "You called ?" "Incredible !" "What took you so long ?" "They could've killed me." "Don't be ridiculous." "You've remembered almost everything I taught you." "I've had a lot of practice lately." "There is no substitute for experience." "What experience ?" "You've been dead for 500 years." "So" "You watch it !" "Watch what ?" "Watch what ?" "The sculpture !" "That's a sculpture ?" "Now, you are being ridiculous." "Remember, MacLeod... you called me." " To magic." "To Zeist." "It's nice to see... that some things have actually improved over the years." "Is this private ?" "Not necessarily." "This is Juan Sanchez Villa Lobos Ramirez,... my old friend and teacher... visiting from Scotland." "Visiting most unexpectedly from Scotland." "This is Louise Marcus." "Watch it, she's wanted by the police." "I didn't realize the police had such a good taste." "You two have known each other for a... long time ?" "It seems like an eternity." "Are you also... ?" "I'm afraid so." "MacLeod" "You created that monstrosity ?" "Why?" "It was necessary at the time." "So was Noah's flood." "But that at least, served its purpose." "It cleansed the world of evil and gave it a fresh start." "MacLeod!" "Alan Neyman's been taken to Max" "Max?" "Who's Max ?" "It's a death sentence, a high security prison." "MacLeod, until you honor your obligations here... you can't return to Zeist." "And Katana." "Katana is here." "Well it's the best news I've heard since my resurrection." "Your time is now !" "You have entered a restricted area." "Please, identify yourself immediately." "I am Juan Sanchez Villa Lobos Ramirez" "Chief metallurgist to King Phillip the Second of Spain... and I am at your service." "This is Checkpoint One outside of Security Installation Max." "Identify yourself." "Take it easy, man, first time in the desert." "Which way to Vegas ?" "Hit it, MacLeod !" "Get ready, here it comes." "Hi, you won't shoot me, will you ?" "I mean..." "Thank you." "I was just hitching a ride." "Then these two guys grabbed me and... my... and threw me in the trunk and..." "Shit !" "I'm Dr. Sonny Jackson and I looked over your report... and as near as I can tell, you have a few bruises and lacerations... but I think you'll be okay in a day or so." "Thanks." "How about them ?" "No way, they were both dead before the car stopped." "I'm amazed they got as far as they did." "Gosh, I've never seen a mess like that." "They must've taken about 100 bullets or so." " A hundred and eight." " One hundred and twelve, myself" "Come on, you're not counting that little scratch, are you ?" "Scratch.." "What are you talking about ?" "It passed right through me." "You just look at my splendid waistcoat." "Wait a minute..." "You guys are... you boys are..." "You guys are... dead." "Larry ?" "All right, these tunnels run along both sides of Max... and they end up at the same place." "They both have security rooms and Neyman's in one of them." "We should split up and we'll meet back together at the end." "You take this way." "Let's go !" "MacLeod" "No more... no more." "Oh my God..." "Mac is it you?" "Listen..." "We did right to build it, didn't we ?" "We did." "I won't forget you." "MacLeod" "Well, like a high school reunion down there." "It really makes no difference now... because, they're dead." "Don't let the door close !" "The combination !" "We need to know the right sequence to open the door." "Holy shit !" "Just stay back !" "I can help !" "No, you can't help this time." "Most people have a full measure of life." "And most people just watch it slowly drip away." "But if you can summon it all up... at one time... in one place." "You can accomplish something... glorious !" "My time here is over." "You must go... and search out Katana." "I'll take the power of you both to destroy the Shield." "Will I ever see you again ?" "Who knows, Highlander ?" "Who knows?" "Go..." "Yes, it looks as though you fucked up, hey partner ?" "You really think so ?" "Well..." "Maybe..." "Then again... maybe not." "I'm waiting.." "Hi.." " Hi.." "Showtime" "Don't worry, we're gonna be okay." "That's easy for you to say." "You don't have to worry about getting killed." "We're gonna be okay." "Just hold them off." "Not bad" "Nicely played, MacLeod" "But the game's not over yet" "That's very cute." "Come on !" "There can be only one." "MacLeod" "Remember Highlander" "You've both still got your full measure of life" "Use it well" "And your future will be glorious"
