I don't know what the hell you're talking about, Luke.
Those cattle didn't die of fever.
They died of mercury poisoning from that damn mine of yours.
I don't think you're seeing the big picture here, Luke.
What's twelve head of cow-? - Eighteen head, Billy.
- Okay, eighteen.
Whatever! Compared to twenty tons of gold ore of that mine! I don't give a damn about the gold and neither will Avery! You're not gonna tell Avery, Luke.
Either you clean up that mine or I shut it down! Will you two be quiet? You'll wake up Jamie.
What are you guys fighting about, anyway? Nothing.
See, what'd I tell you? Sara? It's gonna be okay.
Bye.
Pumpkin, Mama's here.
Nothing's going to hurt you, baby.
Are you okay? Sarah! Sarah, stop! Sarah! Sarah! Hey, MacLeod, what time is it? - Time for breakfast, Charlie.
- Breakfast? If the jeep hadn't broker down we'd be eating at Louise's diner in Olympia.
And I'd be smothered in hashbrowns and not mosquito bites.
- How'd you sleep? - Like a baby, man.
Yeah, well, figures.
- You're hungry? - Yeah, hungry? I could eat a horse.
Not a horse this morning, Charlie.
It's trout.
- Oh, careful, it's hot.
- Trout and jam, man? Yeah.
What's the matter? Don't you want it? But not for breakfast.
Come on! Do you know the nutritional value of a trout? Hey, what's that? He's not going to make it.
No way.
MacLeod, its on fire, man.
- How its she? - Get the door Charlie.
Come on, help me.
Pull it, pull it.
Come on.
Let it go.
Pull it.
- You get it? - Yeah.
Okay.
We got to take her out.
Let's get her out.
This thing could blow apart, man.
It's not looking too good, MacLeod.
Let's put her there, Charlie.
Okay.
What happened? My baby! - I got a baby in there! - All right.
- All right, I'll go.
- Let me go! Let me go! Look out! Are you all right? Give him to me.
Give him to me! He's okay.
Easy.
What's wrong with you, lady? You could've gotten yourselves killed driving like that.
- We should take tare of that hand.
.
- Oh, my God.
Come on, come with us.
Let's take them back up.
- Oh, my God.
- It's all right.
Come on.
Sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I got to go.
Fifteen minutes, and she'll be running as good as new.
Fifteen minutes I can't wait! What's your hurry? It's forty-five miles to the nearest town.
They are coming to take my baby, okay? Who's going to take your baby? If you don't tell me, I can't help you.
Avery Avery Hoskins.
Why does this Avery want your baby? He just does, okay.
I was married to his son.
Hey, is this about custody? Yeah.
Jamie's father died before he was born.
I'm sorry.
But look, what about this Hoskins? - He just doesn't like me.
- Why? Because he said that I'm not white enough.
And he doesn't want you raising his grandkid.
Look you guys have got to help me! Okay.
Look, come here.
Looks like they got out of there okay.
I want to see for myself! They can't be far! Charlie? What? What is it? That's him.
That's Hoskins and his brothers.
They're going to try and take my baby No one's going to do anything, Sarah.
Charlie, take her back to camp, I'll talk to them.
Don't! He lies.
You don't know him.
Sara, maybe we can work this out.
Promise me, that you're not gonna give him my son.
All right.
Charlie, take her back.
It's ok.
Check along the ridgeline and see if she went that way.
Billy, you check along the road! Why don't you let me take tare of this.
You go back and check the reservation.
That's the last place she'll go.
Mister Hoskins? Who the hell are you? Duncan MacLeod.
I was wondering if we could talk.
About what? About an Indian woman and a baby.
Where are they? Damn it, if it's money she wants She wants the baby.
I'll give you to the count of three, to tell me where they are.
One - We can talk about this.
- Two Come on! Go! It won't start, man.
Get the bags, let's get out of here.
What, what's up? Are you crazy? You'll hit the boy! Put that damn thing down and keep it down! I think we lost them.
Hoskins won't give up.
.
They are gonna track us.
I know them.
Charlie, take Sarah downstream.
Stay on the hard ground.
All right then.
Later.
Looks like we lost them.
Like hell we have.
Over here, wet rocks.
You guys, head across the river.
Pick up their trail.
I'll go downstream.
Oh man! We are not going anywhere, MacLeod.
Now what do we do? - We get out of here.
Come on.
- Let's go.
Damn! What is it, Luke? He suckered us and doubled back.
I'm going back to the car! I'll call the ranch and get Mike and J.
J.
here! Avery? Might not be a bad idea to bring the dogs! We can't walk, man.
It's forty five miles to anywhere.
That's if we go by road.
It's only half that if we go through the canyon.
Look.
Maybe we should just take them on.
No I don't want anybody hurt, I just want to look after the girl.
Twenty hard miles with a woman and a baby, against guys with guns? Come on, Macleod! We better keep moving, Charlie.
Looks like this is where they really came out of the water.
Looks like a bunch' of rocks to me.
Yeah, well, I guess they don't teach tracking in Business School.
Hey Luke, you gonna tell Avery? - Tell Avery what? - About the mine.
We'll worry about that later.
After we get this son-of-bitch.
Yeah, well.
You're not gonna get him, Luke.
Cause you know why? He just got you.
What's up! Man, I hate heights.
What was that?! Nothing.
Next time, Jack, you climb the beanstalk, all right? Can you see anything? Damn.
They're heading for the river.
How many? Hoskins and a couple of others.
MacLeod, they've got dogs, man.
All right, come on.
Come on, Charlie, Let's go.
- That way.
- All right.
That guy came out of nowhere, Avery.
I mean, Luke never had a chance.
He just blew him away.
I got off gone shot but he was gone.
I can't believe Luke never saw it coming.
Maybe this MacLeod, maybe he's part Indian or something.
Did you see the baby? No.
They must have been hiding somewhere, I guess.
Mike, take Luke's body back to the ranch.
J.
J.
, let's get those dogs.
Let's keep moving.
Let me hold the baby.
I promise I'll take good tare of him, all right? Come on, give you a break.
Oh, come here big guy.
- You okay? - Yeah.
Just a big cold Dont worry, MacLeod'll come back as soon as he finds us a place for the night.
We should keep going.
We can't keep going.
We can't keep the baby out in the cold all night.
Don't worry, It'll be all right.
- It's so beautiful.
- Yeah.
You know, he and I, we've got something in common.
- Yea? - Yea.
We carry the blood of two different worlds.
- Really? - Yea.
I'm half Italian.
- Yeah.
- Get out.
No, no, DeSalvo, Charlie DeSalvo.
Well, as long as you don't tell me you believed I was a Cherokee princess.
- What? - Nothing.
Hey look.
Don't worry.
Nobody is going to take your baby.
They doubled back so many times, I don't know what the dogs are picking up.
- I'm calling in the police.
- No, no police.
They killed Luke.
We finish this ourselves.
They could use the choppers.
Maybe spot 'em from the air.
Police aren't going to get here until morning.
That time they could be over the State line.
Let's go.
And Jamie'll be with 'em.
J.
J.
, you and Mike take the dogs and stick to the trail, maybe they'd pick up the scent further on.
Billy, you and I go through the woods.
We'll go for another hour, then make camp.
If you hear anything, fire a shot.
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
- Ohh.
- Ohh, yes You're not the only one missing your bed tonight, are you? Eh? Sweet, huh? Well, I'm going to get some more firewood.
That's a good baby, that's my little girl Oh, yes, my guy.
My guy is pretty.
Who's that? Your mom? Oh, it's your mom.
Let's be quiet.
- Who's this.
Oh, my goodness, oh.
- Hi.
- How's he doing? - Well he's not the only one who's hungry.
You want me to feed him? Hell no.
I'm a liberated man.
Give me the bottle.
Here we go.
Here we go.
You have to take the cap off.
There is a nipple inside the bottle.
Yeah, right.
I knew that, man.
Yeah, I do.
Thank you, uncle Duncan.
Why don't we take this nipple and we put it - Uncle Duncan? - Uncle Duncan.
Here we come.
It's eat time.
Can uncle Charlie had some? Hey, what do you think? Can uncle Macleod have some? Oh, yes.
Charlie, I think you're looking at the wrong end.
- What do you mean? - Its diaper needs changing.
Right.
Well, I vote that we wake up Sara.
- No, no, no.
Let her sleep.
- Hey, I don't do diapers, man.
Says the liberated man.
Get me some diapers and some wipes.
Changing, uh? Here we go.
Ok, there is the wipes diaper Babies, I love babies.
Hey, you are a pro with this.
You sure you haven't got a couple of kids you haven't told me about stashed away somewhere, man? Yeah, I'm sure.
A natural.
Do you want to have some of your own some day? Yes, I thought about it.
It's not for me.
How can you say that? A man like you, you got to have a kid of your own, man.
Someone to share things with, you know.
To love.
To teach all the stuff you know.
I mean, who are you going to pass that on to? Come on big fella.
Let get you up here.
Here we go.
You're getting heavy.
That's better, isn't it, uh? - Wasn't I wonderful? - Absolutely special.
Duncan, don't you think some things are best done in moderation? Moderation, Margaret, is for Monks.
Well said.
Say, can I steal that for my next novel? Absolutely.
As long as you give me the credit.
.
Impossible.
Besides, everybody knows that a man's place is in the kitchen.
Or in the bedroom.
Margaret, how old were you when you lost your virginity? There are limits, Nora.
Only for the limited.
Excuse me.
I have to go powder my nose.
Say, weren't you a little hard on her? She's beautiful, she's rich and she's the biggest snob on the Eastern seaboard.
Lord knows somebody has to be.
Hey, two more champagnes, please.
Don't think I haven't notice the way she looks at you.
- Are you jealous? - Insanely.
No reason to be.
Come on, this way.
But the party's just started.
Come on.
JANITOR - Isn't this wonderful? - Will you be quiet? You want to get us pinched? Quiet.
We will be.
All right.
Let's go.
The party's over.
They're gone.
Let's have a drink.
Here.
What about Have a seat.
Duncan, will you marry me? What? I love you, and I think we should get married.
- Nora, I - No, forget marriage.
Marriage is just a convention.
It's an economic agreement that makes women nothing but chattel.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
What I really mean is, I want to have your baby.
Perhaps you should have cigarette first? I'm serious.
I'm serious.
Say you are, aren't you.
You're the only person I'll ever tell this to.
And if you tell anyone, I promise I will.
I will kill myself and haunt you for the rest of your life.
I've always, ever since I was a little girl I've always wanted to have children.
I've always wanted to hear someone call me mother.
To know what it's like to love unconditionally.
You're not answering me.
- I can't - Won't, you mean.
Nora, there are things you don't know about me.
Spare me the "I was wounded in the war routine" because I know that's not true.
You'll probably have a great laugh with your friends about this one.
Nora, I'm not laughing.
- Then tell me why? - It's a long story.
Look, it doesn't have to happen today.
I understand if you want to be courted.
- It won't happen.
- Why? Because I can never have children.
But there must be something we can do.
- I know about this doctor in Chicago.
- Nora They said the same thing about my cousin Joan's husband, and they have twins.
You should see them Duncan, They are beautiful children Nora.
No doctors.
No twins.
And if you stay with me you will never have children.
It will never happen.
No matter how much I want it to.
Never? Never.
But I love you, Duncan.
MacLeod.
Wake up, MacLeod! No, Charlie.
It's your turn to change the diapers.
MacLeod, wake up! We got company! Grizzly.
Yeah, and I think he's pissed.
Maybe he doesn't like guests.
You think he pays rents on this place? Either that or he's one of the three bears looking for breakfast.
Tell me he doesnt eat people, Macleod.
I could, but I might be lying.
It's all right, Sara.
Stay calm We're calm, MacLeod.
What's next? Pass me the bag.
The one by your foot.
This is what I'm looking for.
Strawberry jam, MacLeod? Yeah.
Here.
Come on, big boy.
Let's get out of here before he wants a second.
Slowly.
Taste good? It's good with trouts too.
How'd you know he'd go for the jam, man? I didn't.
Oh, that's a real confidence builder.
Which way now, MacLeod? - It's Hoskins.
- Damn! - We have to slow him down, Charlie.
- All right.
- Do you have an extra piece of cloth? - In my back pack.
- What're you going to do? - You stay here.
We'll be back in a five minutes.
Grab her.
Look after your mom for me.
Come on, Charlie.
Take it easy, boys.
Get ready, we must be close.
They put a scarf back there to throw us off the trail.
I've got to get it down or this dogs are gonna go crazy.
Thanks for tying up the dogs.
You gonna kill me? You're going to kill us? Come on, man, I just work here.
.
Take a vacation.
Where is she? You think they got her? There's no sign of a struggle.
No other footprints.
Then where did she go, man? Come on.
Nice work, guys.
have a nice night? It's done.
Put the dogs back on the trail.
My guess is they're heading to the bridge.
Next time you see it, don't give 'em a second chance, all right?.
- What about the baby? - Let me worry about the baby.
Come on, MacLeod.
We never gonna find her.
She went this way.
And she's running.
Why she's running from us, eh? Get down.
- What now? - Doesn't look good.
But she couldn't have gone through there.
And she wouldn't come back.
We would have seen it.
Hoskins is too close.
So what we do? This way.
They're headed for the bridge all right.
Where are they? They sure as hell aren't here.
So the great tracker loses his way.
- Shut up! - That doesn't mean they never were.
J.
J.
, you and Mike take those dogs back along the trail.
Billy, let's keep moving towards the hills.
I'm gonna check up here, all right? You can't read a sign worth a damn.
Well, I'm gonna check up here.
Suit yourself.
What do you got? She stopped here.
How do you know? There's no sign.
These are wild berries.
They were just picked.
She can't be far.
No, don't.
They're poisonous.
- Just kidding.
- Very funny, MacLeod.
Hey, where is the baby, Sara? Those two guys, they took him.
No.
I don't believe that for a minute.
Oh, well.
Bye bye.
Wait.
I help you, I take you to him.
I don't care.
Are you all right? Why did you run, Sara? Why didn't you wait? Come on, MacLeod, got no time.
Let's go.
Come on.
- What do we do now? - We go up.
That's a hell of an up, MacLeod.
I know.
We're gonna transfer the things out of my back pack.
- Put the baby on my shoulders.
- Okay, let me.
Give me the canteen, Sarah.
- Damn it, I had her.
- Sure, you had her.
Where the hell were you guys, uh? Remember I'm no the expert tracker here Avery.
We'll get them.
There's only one way for them to go and its over that ridge.
Go get the jeep and bring up some ropes and harnesses and go up top.
- Take Mike with you.
- Let's go.
We got them from both ends now.
You okay? Did you say you didn't like heights, Charlie? Thanks for reminding me, MacLeod.
Watch this here.
All right.
Ok Sara, give me your hand.
- Come on.
- I can't reach, MacLeod.
- Yes you can.
- I can't.
Give me your hand.
Come on, trust me.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
I'm trying.
Up my arm.
Up my arm.
Come on.
Push it.
Go ahead.
Okay, Charlie.
Wait there.
Wait, Charlie, wait.
Wait.
- Take the baby for me.
- Ok, I got him.
- Take him, Sarah.
- Got him.
- Come on, MacLeod.
- Okay.
Okay, Charlie.
Up in here.
Come on.
I think we should rest here a while.
Are you sure we shouldn't have taken the road? I don't want to be stuck here tonight.
Its late now, isn't it? - You all right? - Yeah.
- We almost there.
- How's he doing? - He's okay.
- Oh, yeah.
What? What's happening? I guess we won't climb any further.
Hoskins has a welcoming committee up there, Charlie.
Talk about being locked in a hard place.
MacLeod! What? Come on out.
I promise, nobody will shoot.
Billy, dont shoot.
What do you want? I've got a man up top with harnesses and ropes! Let him have the baby.
- What about Sarah? - What are you doing? I'm trying to get both of you out of here alive.
He can't have my baby! Let's get him safe and then we'll deal with it.
No! - MacLeod! - Stay away! Billy, what the hell are you doing up there? Don't worry, I have you.
It's gonna be all right, you know? Hey, look what's this around his mouth? Looks like some kind of an allergic reaction.
- He doesn't have any allergies.
- What about the berries? When is Jamie's birthday? It's May tenth.
Why, you think you're gonna be around for it? What color are his eyes? What is this? Some kind of a game? They're brown.
Wait, they're blue.
- You were right the first time.
- Whose baby is this? - This it's my baby.
- Hey, hey, easy.
Then why did you call him by a girl's name? - You speak my language? - A little.
Hey, come on, speak English guys.
A mother would know the color of her son eyes.
She'd know whether he is allergic to berries.
She wouldn't call him my baby daughter in her native language.
Look, he's my baby and you can't have him.
- Who is Antion? - I don't know! Who is she? She was my baby girl.
But this isn't your baby, isn't? What happened to your baby, Sarah? They Killed her.
- Who killed her? - Hoskins killed her.
The Doctor said that it was was Mercury poisoning, It was from Hoskins' mine.
I told Billy about it and he offered me money for my daughter's life.
I took his ten thousand and I burned it on her grave, okay? And you took Hoskins' son to pay for your daughter' life? Now what? I have to talk to Hoskins.
MacLeod, MacLeod.
Let go, Sara.
Easy does it, and no one gets hurt.
You want to see your son? What do you want? All I want is for all of us to get out of here alive.
It's too late Billy saw you kill mi brother Luke.
What? If someone's die, I didn't kill him.
I saw the body.
I have no reason to lie.
So all this is about the mines and money? For Billy maybe, but for Sarah it's about her baby.
- She had no right to take my son.
- Try and understand how she feels.
What about the way I feel? A man's wife dies giving birth.
And then someone comes and takes away the only reason he has left to go on living.
Grief can make a man go crazy, can't it? You said it, boy.
It can do the same thing for a woman.
Give me the baby, Sarah! Stay away from me! Billy, get away from her! Put down the rifle! Who'd you tell about the creek, Sarah? Did you tell these friends of yours? No, I didn't How am I supposed to trust you? You lied about the money.
You took the money.
- No! - We had a deal, Sara.
Please, Billy, no! No, Billy, no! I'll get your son.
- How you doing, Charlie? - I'm okay, men.
It's over, Sara.
Give me Jamie.
Sarah, give me Jamie.
No! He's mine! That's not what you told me.
Hoskins killed my baby.
No, Billy killed your baby.
Hoskins knew nothing of it.
No, you're lying.
I'd rather we both died first before I gave him up.
What about Antion? Linda.
Who would remember her if you go? Who will sing her song? Was she like you, Sara? Was she beautiful? Yea, she was.
All babies are They give us hope, Sarah.
They give us a promise of better things to come.
Don't do this to Jamie, is not his fault.
He's innocent - Yeah.
- Just like Antion.
It's alright.
It's ok.
I thought you ought to know we're closing down the mines.
That's good.
I'm sorry about your brothers, Avery.
It's not your fault.
It's the way it is A year ago I had a wife two brothers I been running it all through my mind, but it don't figure, none of it.
Still got Jamie.
Because of you, I won't be pressing any charges against Sarah.
There's been enough grief 'round here already.
I'll tell her that.
- Take care.
Avery.
- Good luck.
Baby is gonna be alright? Yeah, Baby it's gonna be just fine.
About time we should be riding out into the night, uh? Maybe next time we should try using a horse.
MacLeod.
Come on.
"Here we are" "We're the princes of the universe" "Here we belong" "fighting for survival" "We've got to be the rulers of the world" "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"
Born on the highlands of Scotland 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 your world" HIGHLANDER 2x13 "BLESS THE CHILD" Damn you, Billy, don't lie to me.
I don't know what the hell you're talking about, Luke.
Those cattle didn't die of fever.
They died of mercury poisoning from that damn mine of yours.
I don't think you're seeing the big picture here, Luke.
What's twelve head of cow-? - Eighteen head, Billy.
- Okay, eighteen.
Whatever! Compared to twenty tons of gold ore of that mine! I don't give a damn about the gold and neither will Avery! You're not gonna tell Avery, Luke.
Either you clean up that mine or I shut it down! Will you two be quiet? You'll wake up Jamie.
What are you guys fighting about, anyway? Nothing.
See, what'd I tell you? Sara? It's gonna be okay.
Bye.
Pumpkin, Mama's here.
Nothing's going to hurt you, baby.
Are you okay? Sarah! Sarah, stop! Sarah! Sarah! Hey, MacLeod, what time is it? - Time for breakfast, Charlie.
- Breakfast? If the jeep hadn't broker down we'd be eating at Louise's diner in Olympia.
And I'd be smothered in hashbrowns and not mosquito bites.
- How'd you sleep? - Like a baby, man.
Yeah, well, figures.
- You're hungry? - Yeah, hungry? I could eat a horse.
Not a horse this morning, Charlie.
It's trout.
- Oh, careful, it's hot.
- Trout and jam, man? Yeah.
What's the matter? Don't you want it? But not for breakfast.
Come on! Do you know the nutritional value of a trout? Hey, what's that? He's not going to make it.
No way.
MacLeod, its on fire, man.
- How its she? - Get the door Charlie.
Come on, help me.
Pull it, pull it.
Come on.
Let it go.
Pull it.
- You get it? - Yeah.
Okay.
We got to take her out.
Let's get her out.
This thing could blow apart, man.
It's not looking too good, MacLeod.
Let's put her there, Charlie.
Okay.
What happened? My baby! - I got a baby in there! - All right.
- All right, I'll go.
- Let me go! Let me go! Look out! Are you all right? Give him to me.
Give him to me! He's okay.
Easy.
What's wrong with you, lady? You could've gotten yourselves killed driving like that.
- We should take tare of that hand.
.
- Oh, my God.
Come on, come with us.
Let's take them back up.
- Oh, my God.
- It's all right.
Come on.
Sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I got to go.
Fifteen minutes, and she'll be running as good as new.
Fifteen minutes I can't wait! What's your hurry? It's forty-five miles to the nearest town.
They are coming to take my baby, okay? Who's going to take your baby? If you don't tell me, I can't help you.
Avery Avery Hoskins.
Why does this Avery want your baby? He just does, okay.
I was married to his son.
Hey, is this about custody? Yeah.
Jamie's father died before he was born.
I'm sorry.
But look, what about this Hoskins? - He just doesn't like me.
- Why? Because he said that I'm not white enough.
And he doesn't want you raising his grandkid.
Look you guys have got to help me! Okay.
Look, come here.
Looks like they got out of there okay.
I want to see for myself! They can't be far! Charlie? What? What is it? That's him.
That's Hoskins and his brothers.
They're going to try and take my baby No one's going to do anything, Sarah.
Charlie, take her back to camp, I'll talk to them.
Don't! He lies.
You don't know him.
Sara, maybe we can work this out.
Promise me, that you're not gonna give him my son.
All right.
Charlie, take her back.
It's ok.
Check along the ridgeline and see if she went that way.
Billy, you check along the road! Why don't you let me take tare of this.
You go back and check the reservation.
That's the last place she'll go.
Mister Hoskins? Who the hell are you? Duncan MacLeod.
I was wondering if we could talk.
About what? About an Indian woman and a baby.
Where are they? Damn it, if it's money she wants She wants the baby.
I'll give you to the count of three, to tell me where they are.
One - We can talk about this.
- Two Come on! Go! It won't start, man.
Get the bags, let's get out of here.
What, what's up? Are you crazy? You'll hit the boy! Put that damn thing down and keep it down! I think we lost them.
Hoskins won't give up.
.
They are gonna track us.
I know them.
Charlie, take Sarah downstream.
Stay on the hard ground.
All right then.
Later.
Looks like we lost them.
Like hell we have.
Over here, wet rocks.
You guys, head across the river.
Pick up their trail.
I'll go downstream.
Oh man! We are not going anywhere, MacLeod.
Now what do we do? - We get out of here.
Come on.
- Let's go.
Damn! What is it, Luke? He suckered us and doubled back.
I'm going back to the car! I'll call the ranch and get Mike and J.
J.
here! Avery? Might not be a bad idea to bring the dogs! We can't walk, man.
It's forty five miles to anywhere.
That's if we go by road.
It's only half that if we go through the canyon.
Look.
Maybe we should just take them on.
No I don't want anybody hurt, I just want to look after the girl.
Twenty hard miles with a woman and a baby, against guys with guns? Come on, Macleod! We better keep moving, Charlie.
Looks like this is where they really came out of the water.
Looks like a bunch' of rocks to me.
Yeah, well, I guess they don't teach tracking in Business School.
Hey Luke, you gonna tell Avery? - Tell Avery what? - About the mine.
We'll worry about that later.
After we get this son-of-bitch.
Yeah, well.
You're not gonna get him, Luke.
Cause you know why? He just got you.
What's up! Man, I hate heights.
What was that?! Nothing.
Next time, Jack, you climb the beanstalk, all right? Can you see anything? Damn.
They're heading for the river.
How many? Hoskins and a couple of others.
MacLeod, they've got dogs, man.
All right, come on.
Come on, Charlie, Let's go.
- That way.
- All right.
That guy came out of nowhere, Avery.
I mean, Luke never had a chance.
He just blew him away.
I got off gone shot but he was gone.
I can't believe Luke never saw it coming.
Maybe this MacLeod, maybe he's part Indian or something.
Did you see the baby? No.
They must have been hiding somewhere, I guess.
Mike, take Luke's body back to the ranch.
J.
J.
, let's get those dogs.
Let's keep moving.
Let me hold the baby.
I promise I'll take good tare of him, all right? Come on, give you a break.
Oh, come here big guy.
- You okay? - Yeah.
Just a big cold Dont worry, MacLeod'll come back as soon as he finds us a place for the night.
We should keep going.
We can't keep going.
We can't keep the baby out in the cold all night.
Don't worry, It'll be all right.
- It's so beautiful.
- Yeah.
You know, he and I, we've got something in common.
- Yea? - Yea.
We carry the blood of two different worlds.
- Really? - Yea.
I'm half Italian.
- Yeah.
- Get out.
No, no, DeSalvo, Charlie DeSalvo.
Well, as long as you don't tell me you believed I was a Cherokee princess.
- What? - Nothing.
Hey look.
Don't worry.
Nobody is going to take your baby.
They doubled back so many times, I don't know what the dogs are picking up.
- I'm calling in the police.
- No, no police.
They killed Luke.
We finish this ourselves.
They could use the choppers.
Maybe spot 'em from the air.
Police aren't going to get here until morning.
That time they could be over the State line.
Let's go.
And Jamie'll be with 'em.
J.
J.
, you and Mike take the dogs and stick to the trail, maybe they'd pick up the scent further on.
Billy, you and I go through the woods.
We'll go for another hour, then make camp.
If you hear anything, fire a shot.
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
- Ohh.
- Ohh, yes You're not the only one missing your bed tonight, are you? Eh? Sweet, huh? Well, I'm going to get some more firewood.
That's a good baby, that's my little girl Oh, yes, my guy.
My guy is pretty.
Who's that? Your mom? Oh, it's your mom.
Let's be quiet.
- Who's this.
Oh, my goodness, oh.
- Hi.
- How's he doing? - Well he's not the only one who's hungry.
You want me to feed him? Hell no.
I'm a liberated man.
Give me the bottle.
Here we go.
Here we go.
You have to take the cap off.
There is a nipple inside the bottle.
Yeah, right.
I knew that, man.
Yeah, I do.
Thank you, uncle Duncan.
Why don't we take this nipple and we put it - Uncle Duncan? - Uncle Duncan.
Here we come.
It's eat time.
Can uncle Charlie had some? Hey, what do you think? Can uncle Macleod have some? Oh, yes.
Charlie, I think you're looking at the wrong end.
- What do you mean? - Its diaper needs changing.
Right.
Well, I vote that we wake up Sara.
- No, no, no.
Let her sleep.
- Hey, I don't do diapers, man.
Says the liberated man.
Get me some diapers and some wipes.
Changing, uh? Here we go.
Ok, there is the wipes diaper Babies, I love babies.
Hey, you are a pro with this.
You sure you haven't got a couple of kids you haven't told me about stashed away somewhere, man? Yeah, I'm sure.
A natural.
Do you want to have some of your own some day? Yes, I thought about it.
It's not for me.
How can you say that? A man like you, you got to have a kid of your own, man.
Someone to share things with, you know.
To love.
To teach all the stuff you know.
I mean, who are you going to pass that on to? Come on big fella.
Let get you up here.
Here we go.
You're getting heavy.
That's better, isn't it, uh? - Wasn't I wonderful? - Absolutely special.
Duncan, don't you think some things are best done in moderation? Moderation, Margaret, is for Monks.
Well said.
Say, can I steal that for my next novel? Absolutely.
As long as you give me the credit.
.
Impossible.
Besides, everybody knows that a man's place is in the kitchen.
Or in the bedroom.
Margaret, how old were you when you lost your virginity? There are limits, Nora.
Only for the limited.
Excuse me.
I have to go powder my nose.
Say, weren't you a little hard on her? She's beautiful, she's rich and she's the biggest snob on the Eastern seaboard.
Lord knows somebody has to be.
Hey, two more champagnes, please.
Don't think I haven't notice the way she looks at you.
- Are you jealous? - Insanely.
No reason to be.
Come on, this way.
But the party's just started.
Come on.
JANITOR - Isn't this wonderful? - Will you be quiet? You want to get us pinched? Quiet.
We will be.
All right.
Let's go.
The party's over.
They're gone.
Let's have a drink.
Here.
What about Have a seat.
Duncan, will you marry me? What? I love you, and I think we should get married.
- Nora, I - No, forget marriage.
Marriage is just a convention.
It's an economic agreement that makes women nothing but chattel.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
What I really mean is, I want to have your baby.
Perhaps you should have cigarette first? I'm serious.
I'm serious.
Say you are, aren't you.
You're the only person I'll ever tell this to.
And if you tell anyone, I promise I will.
I will kill myself and haunt you for the rest of your life.
I've always, ever since I was a little girl I've always wanted to have children.
I've always wanted to hear someone call me mother.
To know what it's like to love unconditionally.
You're not answering me.
- I can't - Won't, you mean.
Nora, there are things you don't know about me.
Spare me the "I was wounded in the war routine" because I know that's not true.
You'll probably have a great laugh with your friends about this one.
Nora, I'm not laughing.
- Then tell me why? - It's a long story.
Look, it doesn't have to happen today.
I understand if you want to be courted.
- It won't happen.
- Why? Because I can never have children.
But there must be something we can do.
- I know about this doctor in Chicago.
- Nora They said the same thing about my cousin Joan's husband, and they have twins.
You should see them Duncan, They are beautiful children Nora.
No doctors.
No twins.
And if you stay with me you will never have children.
It will never happen.
No matter how much I want it to.
Never? Never.
But I love you, Duncan.
MacLeod.
Wake up, MacLeod! No, Charlie.
It's your turn to change the diapers.
MacLeod, wake up! We got company! Grizzly.
Yeah, and I think he's pissed.
Maybe he doesn't like guests.
You think he pays rents on this place? Either that or he's one of the three bears looking for breakfast.
Tell me he doesnt eat people, Macleod.
I could, but I might be lying.
It's all right, Sara.
Stay calm We're calm, MacLeod.
What's next? Pass me the bag.
The one by your foot.
This is what I'm looking for.
Strawberry jam, MacLeod? Yeah.
Here.
Come on, big boy.
Let's get out of here before he wants a second.
Slowly.
Taste good? It's good with trouts too.
How'd you know he'd go for the jam, man? I didn't.
Oh, that's a real confidence builder.
Which way now, MacLeod? - It's Hoskins.
- Damn! - We have to slow him down, Charlie.
- All right.
- Do you have an extra piece of cloth? - In my back pack.
- What're you going to do? - You stay here.
We'll be back in a five minutes.
Grab her.
Look after your mom for me.
Come on, Charlie.
Take it easy, boys.
Get ready, we must be close.
They put a scarf back there to throw us off the trail.
I've got to get it down or this dogs are gonna go crazy.
Thanks for tying up the dogs.
You gonna kill me? You're going to kill us? Come on, man, I just work here.
.
Take a vacation.
Where is she? You think they got her? There's no sign of a struggle.
No other footprints.
Then where did she go, man? Come on.
Nice work, guys.
have a nice night? It's done.
Put the dogs back on the trail.
My guess is they're heading to the bridge.
Next time you see it, don't give 'em a second chance, all right?.
- What about the baby? - Let me worry about the baby.
Come on, MacLeod.
We never gonna find her.
She went this way.
And she's running.
Why she's running from us, eh? Get down.
- What now? - Doesn't look good.
But she couldn't have gone through there.
And she wouldn't come back.
We would have seen it.
Hoskins is too close.
So what we do? This way.
They're headed for the bridge all right.
Where are they? They sure as hell aren't here.
So the great tracker loses his way.
- Shut up! - That doesn't mean they never were.
J.
J.
, you and Mike take those dogs back along the trail.
Billy, let's keep moving towards the hills.
I'm gonna check up here, all right? You can't read a sign worth a damn.
Well, I'm gonna check up here.
Suit yourself.
What do you got? She stopped here.
How do you know? There's no sign.
These are wild berries.
They were just picked.
She can't be far.
No, don't.
They're poisonous.
- Just kidding.
- Very funny, MacLeod.
Hey, where is the baby, Sara? Those two guys, they took him.
No.
I don't believe that for a minute.
Oh, well.
Bye bye.
Wait.
I help you, I take you to him.
I don't care.
Are you all right? Why did you run, Sara? Why didn't you wait? Come on, MacLeod, got no time.
Let's go.
Come on.
- What do we do now? - We go up.
That's a hell of an up, MacLeod.
I know.
We're gonna transfer the things out of my back pack.
- Put the baby on my shoulders.
- Okay, let me.
Give me the canteen, Sarah.
- Damn it, I had her.
- Sure, you had her.
Where the hell were you guys, uh? Remember I'm no the expert tracker here Avery.
We'll get them.
There's only one way for them to go and its over that ridge.
Go get the jeep and bring up some ropes and harnesses and go up top.
- Take Mike with you.
- Let's go.
We got them from both ends now.
You okay? Did you say you didn't like heights, Charlie? Thanks for reminding me, MacLeod.
Watch this here.
All right.
Ok Sara, give me your hand.
- Come on.
- I can't reach, MacLeod.
- Yes you can.
- I can't.
Give me your hand.
Come on, trust me.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
I'm trying.
Up my arm.
Up my arm.
Come on.
Push it.
Go ahead.
Okay, Charlie.
Wait there.
Wait, Charlie, wait.
Wait.
- Take the baby for me.
- Ok, I got him.
- Take him, Sarah.
- Got him.
- Come on, MacLeod.
- Okay.
Okay, Charlie.
Up in here.
Come on.
I think we should rest here a while.
Are you sure we shouldn't have taken the road? I don't want to be stuck here tonight.
Its late now, isn't it? - You all right? - Yeah.
- We almost there.
- How's he doing? - He's okay.
- Oh, yeah.
What? What's happening? I guess we won't climb any further.
Hoskins has a welcoming committee up there, Charlie.
Talk about being locked in a hard place.
MacLeod! What? Come on out.
I promise, nobody will shoot.
Billy, dont shoot.
What do you want? I've got a man up top with harnesses and ropes! Let him have the baby.
- What about Sarah? - What are you doing? I'm trying to get both of you out of here alive.
He can't have my baby! Let's get him safe and then we'll deal with it.
No! - MacLeod! - Stay away! Billy, what the hell are you doing up there? Don't worry, I have you.
It's gonna be all right, you know? Hey, look what's this around his mouth? Looks like some kind of an allergic reaction.
- He doesn't have any allergies.
- What about the berries? When is Jamie's birthday? It's May tenth.
Why, you think you're gonna be around for it? What color are his eyes? What is this? Some kind of a game? They're brown.
Wait, they're blue.
- You were right the first time.
- Whose baby is this? - This it's my baby.
- Hey, hey, easy.
Then why did you call him by a girl's name? - You speak my language? - A little.
Hey, come on, speak English guys.
A mother would know the color of her son eyes.
She'd know whether he is allergic to berries.
She wouldn't call him my baby daughter in her native language.
Look, he's my baby and you can't have him.
- Who is Antion? - I don't know! Who is she? She was my baby girl.
But this isn't your baby, isn't? What happened to your baby, Sarah? They Killed her.
- Who killed her? - Hoskins killed her.
The Doctor said that it was was Mercury poisoning, It was from Hoskins' mine.
I told Billy about it and he offered me money for my daughter's life.
I took his ten thousand and I burned it on her grave, okay? And you took Hoskins' son to pay for your daughter' life? Now what? I have to talk to Hoskins.
MacLeod, MacLeod.
Let go, Sara.
Easy does it, and no one gets hurt.
You want to see your son? What do you want? All I want is for all of us to get out of here alive.
It's too late Billy saw you kill mi brother Luke.
What? If someone's die, I didn't kill him.
I saw the body.
I have no reason to lie.
So all this is about the mines and money? For Billy maybe, but for Sarah it's about her baby.
- She had no right to take my son.
- Try and understand how she feels.
What about the way I feel? A man's wife dies giving birth.
And then someone comes and takes away the only reason he has left to go on living.
Grief can make a man go crazy, can't it? You said it, boy.
It can do the same thing for a woman.
Give me the baby, Sarah! Stay away from me! Billy, get away from her! Put down the rifle! Who'd you tell about the creek, Sarah? Did you tell these friends of yours? No, I didn't How am I supposed to trust you? You lied about the money.
You took the money.
- No! - We had a deal, Sara.
Please, Billy, no! No, Billy, no! I'll get your son.
- How you doing, Charlie? - I'm okay, men.
It's over, Sara.
Give me Jamie.
Sarah, give me Jamie.
No! He's mine! That's not what you told me.
Hoskins killed my baby.
No, Billy killed your baby.
Hoskins knew nothing of it.
No, you're lying.
I'd rather we both died first before I gave him up.
What about Antion? Linda.
Who would remember her if you go? Who will sing her song? Was she like you, Sara? Was she beautiful? Yea, she was.
All babies are They give us hope, Sarah.
They give us a promise of better things to come.
Don't do this to Jamie, is not his fault.
He's innocent - Yeah.
- Just like Antion.
It's alright.
It's ok.
I thought you ought to know we're closing down the mines.
That's good.
I'm sorry about your brothers, Avery.
It's not your fault.
It's the way it is A year ago I had a wife two brothers I been running it all through my mind, but it don't figure, none of it.
Still got Jamie.
Because of you, I won't be pressing any charges against Sarah.
There's been enough grief 'round here already.
I'll tell her that.
- Take care.
Avery.
- Good luck.
Baby is gonna be alright? Yeah, Baby it's gonna be just fine.
About time we should be riding out into the night, uh? Maybe next time we should try using a horse.
MacLeod.
Come on.
