- Hello.
I'm going up to the boxes.
Listen.
I'm expecting a couple of people.
I thought you could point them my way.
You got it, Miss Bard.
Thanks.
You'll like Natalie.
I like her already.
Stylish, tasteful, with a certain underplayed elegance.
Anyone can see she has a great foundation.
You're talking about the stadium, of course.
Oh, of course, yeah.
So, your art's gonna grace the entranceway.
If she likes my ideas.
I'm on the short list and I have an edge, we were at the Sorbonne together.
Your edge is talent.
- Ready? - Ready.
Tessa? Any chance, as part of your fee, you could negotiate a pair of season tickets? I might.
On the fifty yard line? Don't push your luck, buddy.
Natalie! No! Let go of me! No! Stay with her! Natalie, he's gone, Natalie.
What the hell? I'm going with her.
Duncan MacLeod? Yeah.
Lieutenant Graffini.
I'm told you saw the guy.
Yeah.
Tall, well built, wearing old biker's leathers.
Looked like something out of the Twenties.
What about eyes, hair color? He was wearing a helmet and goggles.
Sorry.
Did he say anything? You pick up an accent or something? Did you notice anything special about him? Like I said, he looked like something out of an old movie.
What about the bike? I was too far away to see.
Lieutenant! We found this on the floor of the balcony.
Is that the scalper's knife? How the hell did you get in here? I'm very popular with your men, Lieutenant.
I get their names right on TV.
Now, you didn't answer my question.
Did the Scalper strike again? Scalper? Another woman was murdered last week in North Shore Park.
Her throat was slit and she was scalped.
Wasn't she, Lieutenant? That information is restricted.
- What do you have on the killer? - What are you doing, writing a book? Is he following a pattern? Thanks for your help.
We have your name and address.
Surprise, surprise, a weird murder attempt and you're right here, in the middle of ¡t.
So a real prince, huh? So what really happen, MacLeod? A woman was assaulted.
Tell me something you didn't tell him.
I told him everything.
You never tell anybody everything.
C'mon MacLeod, you were here.
Give me a quote.
Those who forget the past are condemned to relive ¡t.
How is she? Sedated.
She was sleeping when I left.
She went into shock in the ambulance.
We almost lost her.
And that police officer, he came in and made her relive every moment of it.
Who could do something like this to her? A man who was betrayed by the one he loved and then went insane because of it.
- Sounds like you known him.
- Someone like him.
An Immortal? Why did you betray me, Lenora? Marcus! You've found me.
When I read in the newspapers the description of the other woman they've found murdered.
Tall, slender, blonde.
I knew you were here.
Then I saw your picture on a playbill.
I knew you'd come, Duncan.
Please, don't do this.
Let me help you.
Come with me.
It doesn't have to be this way.
It is ordained that my judgment will be realized.
And the penalty for adultery ¡s death.
Marcus.
That woman is not Lenora.
Liar! She is the same.
Her same face, her same body and the hair that woman covet and men adore.
She betrayed me, Duncan.
I gave her the world.
She told them what I was, and they burned me for a witch! You killed Lenora over three hundred years ago! No! she lives! She won't die! I must kill her! I must kill them all! Lenora! Bye Marcus! He was insane.
What happen to him? He died.
Then who ¡s doing this? You know before this was a stadium? there were orchards here and stables.
This is where Marcus killed one of his victims.
How did he choose them? By the color of their hair.
He only chose blondes.
Why? He fell in love once and the woman betrayed him.
He went mad.
He had to destroy her and everything that reminded him of her.
It's too crazy.
What was it like here by then? It was just after the war.
There were hall-a-dozen gang killings within two blocks of here.
So one more victim didn't count for much.
No, actually, the press played it up.
A copycat killer could do a lot of research, if he wanted to, and find exactly how the women were killed.
Are you guys stringers for a rival network or is there some other reason you're here? Natalie Bard is my friend.
Sorry.
How is she doing? Recovering.
You know, I've been trying to get in to see her.
You think you could? No, I couldn't.
I'm sorry.
You maybe later? Maybe.
You know, I'm thinking about you said yesterday about history repeating itself.
I've spent the last twenty-four hours in the archives running down old serial murder cases.
You did? There's one that fits the pattern.
It happened 67 years ago, McCloud.
How'd you know about it? Have you told the police yet? Didn't anybody ever tell you it's not polite to answer a question with a question? Have you told the police yet? Sharing information with the police isn't a habit I've developed.
Well, I suggest you develop the habit.
He'll kill again.
If this reporter's theory holds water, and I'm not sure ¡t will, then the copycat's to strike in the exact same locations as the first killer.
We can cover all those areas around the clock, but that's an expensive operation for a reporter's hunch.
If you got another theory let's hear it.
That captain has authorized the 48 hours stakeout.
Let's just hope he's right and nail the son-of-a-bitch.
What's wrong? I should be out there.
At the risk of injuring your immortal feelings, the police can do this a lot better than you.
It just feels weird doing nothing while this plays itself out again.
He isn't Marcus.
You've given the police everything they need.
They'll catch him.
I've been thinking about something else.
You want Natalie to come and stay with us, huh? Just until they catch this monster.
Okay.
Hey Bennett! Could anyone check to see if Columbus Park was even here 67 years ago? How many times do I have to walk around this damn anchor? My feet are killing me.
You'll keep walking until you're relieved.
The city pays you for eight; you do eight.
And let's not get sloppy out there.
Checkpoint three.
She's forty-five seconds late.
Delaney, talk to me! Where the hell are you, Delaney? Delaney, talk to me! Don't have a stroke, Sergeant.
I just sat down for a minute.
They're trying to stop us, but we are smarter than they are.
We will kill them.
They will not betray us again.
Come.
I've always liked your taste.
So why don't you tell me what all this ¡s about.
All what? What the hell are you, MacLeod? Is this a fishing expedition or did you come here for a reason? Well, nothing's gone down at the stakeouts and they think it may all be a coincidence.
You shouldn't do that.
You'll live longer.
Who wants to live forever? Tell me you used to be a two pack a day man.
No.
What did you used to be, MaCloud? Just what I am.
What if it's all off the record.
Just between us.
Well, at least think about it.
The copycat will stick to the same pattern one way or another.
You can tell Graffini that.
Like he'd listen.
I see you around.
Hey, maybe you and I could talk sometime.
Sure.
Anytime.
I've got lots to say.
I had a very interesting childhood.
At the age of two I was visited by aliens.
Spare me.
I'll see you.
So Mac, what's with you and the lady newscaster? I can't talk to Graffini directly.
He'd ask too many questions and I couldn't stonewall him like I do her.
Richie, we have some problems here.
Marcus killed five women in ten days before I stopped him.
Where are you getting at? The copycat ¡s not following the same pattern.
He should have tried again in Columbus Park.
How can you be sure he's gonna follow ¡t so closely? Because he's probably studied everything he can on Marcus.
He wants to be like him so he has to kill like him.
The knife! He lost the knife.
He's going to buy a knife.
No, no.
He's too smart for that.
There's got to be something else.
Like what? The Indian.
The what? The Indian, you know? If Marcus rode an Indian, then maybe our guy does too.
This is the place where the yuppies meet the outlaws.
If this guy was riding an old Indian, he definitely gets his parts here.
Hey, Herbie, you, my man, bro, what's up? Come talk to me.
Richie, I'm glad you're here.
Tell me, which leg do you want broken? Wow, wow, big guy what'd I do? You said you could get a manifold for a 46 Harley, remember? I had a cash client all lined up.
I got out of the parts business.
What? You get busted? Sort of.
Listen, Herbie, I was wondering if you could do us a little favor.
What? We're looking for a guy who owns an Indian.
Great bike, fast as hell.
They stopped making 'em 34 years ago though, What's this guy look like? Yeah, he is about six-two and is about one hundred and eighty pounds.
Guy wore a scarf and goggles.
Kept the goggles on.
Yeah, that's him.
You have a name? Address? No.
Sorry.
Well, if you see him, we'd appreciate a call.
Sure Mister.
Whatever you say.
Thank so much, Herb.
It's just a dream.
It's going to be ok.
It's going to be ok.
Ok, C'mon Tippy.
Here you go Tippy.
I don't have all day.
C'mon.
Mind if I pet your dog? Sure.
- He's very cute.
- Thank you.
Isn't he a nice man, Tippy? Tippy loves attention.
Don't you baby? You have lovely hair.
Thank you.
I do myself.
COLUMBUS HOUSE ROOMS BY THE WEEK OR MONTH Hi.
Is Tessa around? She went to the drug store to pick up a few things for me.
How are you feeling? - Better.
- Good.
I never thanked you.
You risked your life going after him, like that.
Well, I wish I'd caught him.
Yeah, me too.
Police will.
I wish I believed that.
I wish I wish I had a gun when he came for me.
I It's not as easy to kill as all that, Natalie.
Even in self defense.
What if they can't find this animal? What if he keeps killing? They will.
They'll find him.
I have to go.
Ok.
Tell Tessa I'll be back in an hour or so.
- Ok.
- Good night.
Thank you.
Antiques.
Richie speaking, what's up? Richie, it's me.
Herbie.
He's here.
Who? The Indian? In the flesh.
Just stall him.
Just keep him there.
Hey, this is as for as I go for a hundred bucks.
You want him, you come get him.
All right, all right.
Just keep him.
I'm on my way.
Look who showed up.
I just heard on the radio that the serial killer struck again.
At the Columbus House instead of Columbus Park.
This guy's playing with the cops.
He's getting off on ¡t.
He rides an Indian.
What? It's a motorcycle.
How do you know? That doesn't matter.
Make sure Graffini does.
There are What are you? Federal, State? Special task force? You're working undercover, MacLeod? Is that it? If I were, I wouldn't be talking to you, would I? Graffini and the others don't even know, do they? Neither do you.
All right.
Whatever you say.
I can be a team player.
If I keep quiet on this, MacLeod, or whatever your real name is I expect an inside line when the story breaks.
Well, I can't promise you anything.
Well, then, neither can I.
Think about ¡t.
Fair's fair.
I've got to go.
Well, what do you know? Tessa? I'm in here.
Tessa.
Natalie? Don't.
Don't.
Don't.
It's too early.
Let it heal first.
One minute, you're a successful career woman in control of your life and forty seconds later you're a piece of meat begging not to be butchered! Don't think about it! It's all I think about.
We're just something on the food chain, Tessa.
If a man wants to hurt us, he hurts us.
Stop it! Don't do this to yourself! Don't let yourself stars thinking like that.
Why? It's true, isn't it? How would you feel if it happened to you? I'm sorry, I'm sorry Tessa.
I can't.
I can't.
It's ok.
It's ok.
After the surgeons fix it, you won't even see the scar.
Yeah.
And if they can't it doesn't really master, right? Beauty ¡s only skin deep.
And for the rest of my life I'll watch as some man's eyes drift slowly at from mine until this! God! I hate the son-of-a-bitch who did this to me.
If he were here, now I'd What happened? I saw him, Mac.
I was right on his ass.
Then I hit some cinders or something Who? The guy.
The scalper.
The dud with the googles.
Richie! What were you thinking? This guy is a psychotic killer.
You weren't there.
Then you should have waited or called the police! What's you don't do you don't go off on your own! I know you thought you were doing the right thing.
He saw me at that bike shop.
He's not to go back there again, Mac.
I screwed up.
Big time.
Sorry.
What am I gonna do with you? Did you hurt yourself? I' live.
Come on.
Let's take a look at it.
Come on.
Did Graffini catch him? That pumper's ass couldn't catch a cold.
He's sitting on a stakeout at the theater.
The scalper knows he's there, he's not gonna show.
So what do we do now? Well I don't know.
Graffini is just waiting for an excuse to throw me in jail.
But we got to do something.
We have to set him up.
Make him come to us.
I want to help.
And don't tell me it'll be too dangerous! There's nothing you can do.
I can be the bait.
Absolutely not.
I won't - I have the right.
She's my friend.
- Oh Tessa! You said he only kills blondes.
- No.
- You'll be there to protect me.
No one is watching over his next victim, Duncan.
She, whoever she is, ¡s out there alone, with no guardian angel.
And she's going to die if you and I don't stop him.
You said so yourself.
Ok.
Man and Superman? Yeah.
It was playing at the Orpheum theater the night I finally caught up with Marcus.
You think this killer will know that? Yes, I do.
He knows everything there is to know about Marcus.
The only person who knows more about him it's me.
This is Randi McFarland outside police headquarters with an update on the serial killer that has been terrorizing the city for days.
Through confidential sources I have learned today's scalper is imitating another madman who prowled this city sixty seven years ago.
My source assures me that police have broken the killer's pattern.
And an arrest is expected shortly.
- How'd I do? - You did perfect.
It'll be on the six o'clock news.
If you're not right about this, MacLeod, my career as a reporter is over.
Nobody'll talk to me.
He'll take the challenge.
We'll have him.

Just don't be afraid to talk about it.
He's still alive.
He won't hurt anyone again.
You did it.
You stopped him.
I wish it had been me behind that wheel car.
No, you don't.
Believe me.
Ready to go? Yeah.
I'm all set.
The car is outside.
Your bag is already in it.
Natalie! I'll call you tonight, ok? That'll be great.
