Unholy Alliance Part Two
He is immortal.
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" Last week on Highlander.
This is wrong.
It's against all the rules.
You can't.
Oh, but I can.
You said you wanted to talk.
Something strange is happening, MacLeod.
In the last few days, two Immortals were killed.
They were shot first, then beheaded by an Immortal.
They were working together.
Why are you telling me all this? I thought you'd want to know.
Watch yourself, MacLeod.
You're a long way from home, Xavier.
Home is where the head is.
Charlie, get out of here.
Excuse me.
Would you you know, do the guy thing? I want you to know, ordinarily, I don't let strange men in my apartment.
Unless you trust them.
No.
Unless I have a gun.
This isn't your fight.
No? You are gonna tell me this isn't about the other night? - Listen, Charlie.
- No, you listen! You're not just up against Xavier St.
Cloud, This is about a Special Ops team, and that's something that I know about! - Get out of here.
- No way, MacLeod.
No way! What? If you knew this was a setup why'd you come along? Because I like to know who's following me.
Different strokes with different folks.
MacLeod! You're dead.
Do I look like an angel to you, Charlie? I saw you take one in the heart.
You set me up! Xavier, the mercenaries They were waiting for us.
And so was Horton.
That's impossible.
You know Horton is dead.
He wasn't last night.
You're seeing things, MacLeod.
He's dead and buried.
What about Xavier? How did you find him? I shot him, and I was just about to cut his head off when I realized he could lead me to you.
It's rather an unholy alliance.
Wouldnt you say? You can't keep doing this by yourself.
You're not the Lone Ranger.
Look, I've got Army Intelligence computers, informants, yet every time I get somewhere you're always one step ahead of me.
What's going on, MacLeod? Who are you? I'll tell you why he came back.
To kill immortals.
Horton buys the mercenaries and Xavier takes the heads.
Next time I see you will be the last.
HIGHLANDER 2x15 "UNHOLY ALLIANCE II" How is he doing? - Not great.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- He's not taking visitors.
- I'm only going to be a minute.
Your compassion is overwhelming.
All right, I'm here on business.
It doesn't mean I don't feel for the guy.
Right.
Then you tell me what I can do for him other than find the shooter.
You can leave him alone.
MacLeod, there's also another reason I came.
What's that? You.
You mentioned dinner once.
Does the offer still stand? I told you it's not sale being my friend.
I'm a big girl and I carry a gun.
Yeah, I noticed.
I thought you didn't let strange men into your apartment.
I don't.
She's pretty.
Is she your girlfriend? Was.
She's dead.
Perfect timing, Renee.
I have a gift for these things.
It's all right.
This seems almost done.
You married? Nope.
Where's your corkscrew? Never? Once.
Divorced? No.
He ended in a shootout in Albuquerque.
This guy tried to start World War III in a hamburger joint.
Lasted all of ten months, not counting leave.
Are you hungry? You really were an army brat? Born and bred.
Every year a new town, every town a new school.
But you know what I mean.
Do I? I thought you said you were army? No, I didn't say anything of the sort.
My mistake.
No it wasn't.
You were fishing again But it's fun to watch.
Chess it's such an interesting game.
If you're good at it.
The army was always home.
I knew I'd end up there.
And the C.
I.
D.
? I like to keep my home clean.
Must be interesting work? Boring, mostly.
Even when you're chasing killers like Davis? Now you're digging.
You're right.
But it's fun to watch.
But I rather talk about something else.
Such as? Why haven't you kissed me yet? I guess I ought to get that.
What's done is done, MacLeod.
I can't take it back.
You're the Immortal, you know better than anyone.
I'm waiting.
Maybe we weren't friends, but we did trust one another once, based on nothing more than a feeling.
I hope you can trust me now.
It's an address.
It's where they are.
Why should I believe you? Whether you believe me or not is up to you.
But it's the truth.
Never mind.
I know when the horses have bolted.
I have to leave.
Is this about the shooting? What did you find out? It was a nice meal.
Dammit, MacLeod, I could help you.
All right, grab your coat.
I'm glad you're finally seeing this my way.
Listen, you're a civilian, so, we get in there you let me go in - There're times to eat and there're times to work.
Persian kings died for a taste of that.
Horton, Horton, when will you learn to savor life? When you eat, eat well.
When you love, make ¡t last the long time.
When you kill Kill for pleasure.
It would give you great pleasure to kill Duncan MacLeod, would it not? I owe him so much.
He's here.
- Who is it? - MacLeod.
- He can't be.
- I can feel him.
It's time to go.
No, I can kill him! Another time! You don't disappoint.
Where's your friend? Forget Horton, you and I have business to attend to.
Hurry up! Get in! Doctor Brown 4-3-9-7.
Caviar? Yeah, Xavier left it.
He bought it in Paris.
A little store on Rue Sevres.
I hope they'll be able to point me to the right direction.
But how can you be sure they're going to go back there? A friend of mine told me they cleared customs yesterday.
And now you're going after them? I might be gone a while, Charlie.
Maybe if I- You'll be back, MacLeod.
If I'm not, the dojo's yours.
What's left of it.
Take tare of yourself.
Eh, aren't you forgetting something, MacLeod? I thought you promised you'll tell me why you're still breathing.
- You got any thoughts? - A couple.
Oh, hey, if it's a long story, don't worry, I'm not going anywhere.
- You wouldn't believe me.
- Try me.
Hey, when I was dying, you told me you'll tell me before I went.
Well, the doctor said you still have a good thirty or forty years left.
Damn, you are the most secretive, evasive son of a Careful.
What about the swords, MacLeod? How're you gonna explain that? It's and old feud.
You are not gonna tell me, are you? What if I told you it was magic? Well, I'd almost believe you.
Great.
Taxi! Can I drop you somewhere? You made good time.
I had a drive with the Air Force.
As soon as your reservation for Paris hit our computers, - I was on my way.
- It's nice to be missed.
Let's play a little game, you tell me all you know- And what do you do? And I keep the State Department from revoking your passport and shipping your butt out of here.
Ah, I see, you came all the way to Paris to blackmail me.
Because you wont play fair.
What do you say? Paris is lovely in springtime.
Then what are we doing here in the middle of winter.
Come on, MacLeod.
I'll think about ¡t.
But first, you drop me off at the Quai de la Tournelle.
I don't think so.
All right, fine, I'll get a cab.
- The barge isn't there.
- Right.
Ok, ok, suit yourself.
Your destination, sir? It's not there.
Only a little faith.
It was moved when the river flooded.
But I bet you know where it ¡s.
Aren't you glad you have me along? Now that I helped you- You have my undying gratitude.
I like you, MacLeod, but you're beginning to get on my nerves.
And I thought this was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
- Thanks for the ride.
- Wait, wait.
Why don't we talk about this later.
Over dinner.
You don't give up, do you? Not when I really want something.
All right.
Chez Arnaud on Rue de la Mer.
Six o'clock.
And one step at the time.
I have no money.
What's going on here? Who are you? More to the point, what are you doing on this barge? - I'm having a shower! - I can see that.
- What are you doing on this boat! - I own it.
Of course! MacLeod, my friend! I think I'd remember a friend like you.
But I'm Maurice! From the boat next door.
Everyone knows Maurice.
Does everyone find you in their bathroom? All I took was a little water.
Ah, that, Another week and it would have been vinegar.
I was doing you a favor.
And what about the other bottles? You got off cheap.
You should have seen the ruffians I threw off your barge.
There were five, no, six of them.
They were the worst kind.
Who moved the barge? The police.
But you're lucky I was there to supervise.
Did I tell you I was a veteran? I have wounds to prove it.
Maurice, get your clothes and get out this barge.
This is the gratitude you show Maurice.
Maurice, who risked his life to save your barge from the worst flood in fifty years.
And I'm not a young man.
Maurice, don't leave.
I knew you were a man of unending generosity.
Until you clean the place up, and it looks exactly the way I left it.
And I want it done soon.
Maurice, that's my toothbrush.
Pardon.
Bon jour, madam, vous etes ouverte? What can I help you with? I was looking for some caviar for an old friend.
Ah, you've come to the right place.
We have beluga, caviar from Russia- No, I was looking for golden caviar.
Oh, impossible.
You can't get it out of Iran.
My friend said he did.
He said he bought it here.
But not from me.
That was sold by the previous owners.
Oh, I'm sure you can help me.
Believe me, I would love to, but what you want can't be found.
Then where can I find the previous owners? Back in Iran.
In jail.
Perfect.
C'est cher, ca? Duncan! How are you, Catherine? I know.
I'm sorry.
How is Tessa? Tessa, Anton we can't win, can we Duncan? You take your happiness while you can, for as long as it lasts.
Anton knew that.
All we ever wanted was to live our lives without being bothered.
Catherine, I want the Immortal who killed him.
Is there anything you can tell me? Anything at all? Nothing.
He felt the presence of an Immortal, he went out and he never came back.
When he left, did you hear gunfire? You know who did it, dont you? As if there hasn't been enough death already.
Be careful.
Please.
Hi, MacLeod.
So what's our next step? Why dont we take from my first step then start from there? If you work with me, I promise you won't regret it.
Even if you are right about this, what makes you think I want a partner? Because I'm good.
- Do you want some wine? - Yes.
And because we both want the same thing The guy who hit Charlie.
All right, I'll help you get him.
But that's it.
This one guy and then you go home.
So, who are we after? It's an Englishman named James Horton.
But I won't bother digging for his file, because he's too good for that.
- It's all right.
Good.
- May I take a look at that? Paris is a big place.
If he's so good, how do we find him? I think he found us.
Stop! Help.
I'm sorry.
See? I told you I was good.
- How are you feeling? - Fine.
There's gonna be hell to pay with the Sureté, but my people are trying to calm them down.
- Why don't you sit down for a minute? - Can you imagine the paperwork? - Forget the paperwork.
- I want to sit down.
We need to open up this investigation.
We've got to get backup in here, people- No backup.
MacLeod, a man died out there! And you didn't kill him.
It doesn't matter He's dead because of me.
I've been in the field for three years and I never even fired before.
Did you ever kill anyone? Yeah.
It's not easy, is it? It's not supposed to be.
Hello? Speaking.
Now? Couldn't we wait at least a day Yes sir.
Yes sir.
Fifteen minutes.
They want me at the Embassy.
Well, it's not good for you as Army Officer to kill a French national.
They're probably trying to decide whether to kill me or give me a medal.
It's the medal.
It's easier to explain.
I don't want the medal.
It's better not keep a General waiting.
France - 1814 Don't, hold your fire.
There's been enough killing for today.
Go! Go on! Thank you.
But I think I'm already dead.
You Highlanders fought well today.
We paid a high price for our victory.
It was a glorious battle.
Right.
Look.
The jackals They come to rob the dead.
May I ask a favor My ring I want my son to have it.
What is his name? Pierre.
Pierre Martin.
We live in a small village called Mionnais near Lyon.
I will see to it.
Thank you and tell him his father died with honor.
Luck Bergon.
So he was one of yours? Chapeau Vert, Beroux Back, Montero.
Where the favorite nephew of General Haguet Chateau was mortally wounded.
Not a Guardsman, not even a French but you know our battles? It's a great history but Luc Bergon was not part of it.
Bergon was facing disciplinary action last year.
He disappeared before the proceedings.
- You know where to find him? - If I knew, he'd be in prison.
Shame.
He was a good horseman.
It was his passion.
Never stopped riding.
Even when he had time off.
Thanks for your help.
If Cluny hadn't missed, MacLeod would be dead.
And if you hadn't been such a fool, Cluny would still be alive! You were to leave MacLeod to me.
I told you that.
I thought I'd save you the trouble.
You're not paid to think, you're paid to kill when I tell you.
Leave.
Before this is over I'll kill that fool.
Not before he bring us MacLeod.
Marc Cluny This is all you have on him? If you hadn't shot him, his record might have become longer.
I didn't kill him, That's right, you only wounded him.
And if I had my way, you'd be out of the country tomorrow.
So where did he serve as a mercenary? Africa.
How did you know that? Why isn't he in here? The Cluny's are a very old family, with a great many holdings.
And that's enough to keep it off his record? In this country, Warrant Officer Delaney, old ties count for something.
They sure as hell do.
Thanks for your co-operation Detective.
So, how long have you known MacLeod? For a very, very long time.
But for men such as MacLeod and myself time has little meaning.
Is that so? And what exactly is that you do for him? I'm consulting on the remodeling of his barge.
And you're staying there.
An artist needs to be close to his work.
I don't like to boast, but I have exquisite taste.
In everything.
I think I see him.
- MacLeod.
- Hi.
Hi.
I have brought this Venus to you.
Thanks, Maurice.
You said it was important.
Yes.
I called because- Maurice, why don't you go do something? But, I was going to help you to shop.
Then, why don't you go buy some wine? Ah! But with what? How can a grand chef? You're a cook! Cook? I was a chef.
At Pyramid and at the great Fernandem Poanthem.
As filled as before I got here.
On your very excellent credit.
Until later.
So, our dead shooter, Marc Cluny.
He was a mercenary.
You didn't say you were going to the police.
Well, you didn't ask.
Any addresses? About fifty.
Seems his family owns half the buildings in Paris.
Here must be at least a dozen where you could train then.
Maybe, but not many where you could train horses.
Did I missed something here? Yeah, the guy in the car was Luck Bergon, ex cavalry officer.
How did you ID the guy? There was a cuff link in Cluny's hand.
He must have torn it off the driver.
You never mentioned any cuff link! You didn't ask.
So what do we do now? We see if any of these are big enough to hold a riding stable.
There are two entrances to the barge.
Here and here.
A stun grenade in this one, you go in through this one, shooting.
Whenever you're ready.
Have you ever seen harvest caviar? Do they cut the heads off? By the way, you can stop planning.
MacLeod? How did he know we were here? Offhand, I'd say your friend here was sloppy.
Get MacLeod, and you're rich.
Fail, it's the last thing you'll do.
You're not leaving, are you? I'll wait for you on the boat.
A shame.
You'll miss quite a show.
No sword, Xavier? I was thinking of giving it up.
But old habits die hard.
We can't go on meeting like this.
Don't worry.
This will be the last time.
- At least we agree on something.
- We agree on nothing.
You're angry because I broke the rules.
I had two very good reasons.
One, I get to kill you.
Two, I also get a little help ensuring that I am the last of us.
Horton lives to kill us.
He's using you.
As I am using him.
He lives as long as I need him.
Boys! Go for his heart.
Nobody moves! I'm all right.
Go! Just get them! It's finished, James.
Joseph, we're family! I'll light you a candle.
He always had a way out.
I would have done it.
No MacLeod, we make mistakes we clean them up.
Dawson.
I'll see you around.
- I'm done.
- Au revoir! What's the verdict? No broken bones, no blood poisoning.
In a few days I'll be out of here.
That's good.
You don't have to go.
No, you need your rest.
Besides, the police is gonna want to know what happened.
Yeah, I think they are.
In triplicate.
So what do I tell them? Whatever you want, so long as you keep my name out of ¡t.
And the man with one hand? You got Horton.
Leave it there.
There's more of this, isn't there? Do you remember the part where you promised not to follow? Vaguely.
Then keep that promise.
You might even get another medal.
I heard here they kiss you on both cheeks.
Yeah, that's how they do it.
How about you? Take care of yourself.
MacLeod! Good to see you.
You'll have the place in shape in no time.
You'll be very glad you employed me to do the job.
Employ you? All right, we'll talk about it later.
Maurice, were you really a chef? For the very best.
You should have tasted my oysters.
This time of year they were magnificent.
I'm sure they were.
Washed down with a crisp Sancerre, it's like heaven.
Maurice, can we talk about something? I can do things with shrimp you wouldn't believe.
Let me guess you're hungry.
Exactement.
And I have such difficulty talking on an empty stomach.
And you need more money.
If you could lend me a little.
What if someone is looking for a special food, say golden caviar It's possible.
For a price.
Have you a taste for golden caviar? I'm looking for a special buyer.
A elegantly dressed black man, with one hand.
One hand.
MacLeod! You son-of Hey, how come it took you so long to call? Well, I called the hospital a few times they said you were out chasing nurses.
No, man.
I had to get away from the hospital food.
How's the plumbing? Hurts like hell, and I'm not quite as fast as I used to be.
You know, I think they left some lead in there or something, man.
Hey, you'll get it together.
It just takes time.
Yeah, sure.
I thought you might like to know Horton's not coming back.
Funny I don't feel like dancing, but I can't say I'm too sorry either.
Well, don't be.
Just start fixing the dojo up.
That sounds like you are not sure about coming back.
Nothing's written in stone, Charlie.
There's still something I have to finish.
MacLeod, MacLeod! MacLeod, my friend! You wouldn't believe the food I've eaten and the wine I've drunk.
Try me, I paid for it all.
What did you find out? There was one house in Rue Chapelle.
A young black man, very rich, such exquisite taste.
He never comes to the store, only takes deliveries.
And he's waiting for a delivery tonight.
What about the hand? That's the best part.
Only one.
Hey, wait, hey Mac wow! So, did you bring the caviar? I left it upstairs.
That's a shame, I thought we might share it.
Oh, you mean like a last supper.
Exactly.
I'll eat it on your grave.
I doubt it.
Thanks for coming.
No problem.
How's the arm? I just wear this for sympathy.
I have to be in Washington tomorrow.
Great timing, huh? Do you think you'll ever be back in Paris? Does it matter? I mean What I meant to say Listen to me.
I sound like an idiot.
No, you don't.
Look, I know you loved the woman you were with.
Tessa, Right? And I respect that.
And I know you're not supposed to get involved with people you're in the field with but I know there's a question in there somewhere.
Do you think, someday that you and I would Oh, my God this is embarrassing How come you haven't come on to me yet? It's not me, right? Right.
So maybe someday if I guess that answers my question.
Yes it does.
See you around, MacLeod.
See you around, Renee.

You're a long way from home, Xavier.
Home is where the head is.
Charlie, get out of here.
Excuse me.
Would you you know, do the guy thing? I want you to know, ordinarily, I don't let strange men in my apartment.
Unless you trust them.
No.
Unless I have a gun.
This isn't your fight.
No? You are gonna tell me this isn't about the other night? - Listen, Charlie.
- No, you listen! You're not just up against Xavier St.
Cloud, This is about a Special Ops team, and that's something that I know about! - Get out of here.
- No way, MacLeod.
No way! What? If you knew this was a setup why'd you come along? Because I like to know who's following me.
Different strokes with different folks.
MacLeod! You're dead.
Do I look like an angel to you, Charlie? I saw you take one in the heart.
You set me up! Xavier, the mercenaries They were waiting for us.

Eh, aren't you forgetting something, MacLeod? I thought you promised you'll tell me why you're still breathing.
- You got any thoughts? - A couple.
Oh, hey, if it's a long story, don't worry, I'm not going anywhere.
- You wouldn't believe me.
- Try me.
Hey, when I was dying, you told me you'll tell me before I went.
Well, the doctor said you still have a good thirty or forty years left.
Damn, you are the most secretive, evasive son of a Careful.
What about the swords, MacLeod? How're you gonna explain that? It's and old feud.
You are not gonna tell me, are you? What if I told you it was magic? Well, I'd almost believe you.
Great.
Taxi! Can I drop you somewhere? You made good time.
I had a drive with the Air Force.
As soon as your reservation for Paris hit our computers, - I was on my way.
- It's nice to be missed.
Let's play a little game, you tell me all you know- And what do you do? And I keep the State Department from revoking your passport and shipping your butt out of here.
Ah, I see, you came all the way to Paris to blackmail me.
Because you wont play fair.
What do you say? Paris is lovely in springtime.
Then what are we doing here in the middle of winter.
Come on, MacLeod.
I'll think about ¡t.
But first, you drop me off at the Quai de la Tournelle.
I don't think so.
All right, fine, I'll get a cab.
- The barge isn't there.
- Right.
Ok, ok, suit yourself.
Your destination, sir? It's not there.
Only a little faith.
It was moved when the river flooded.
But I bet you know where it ¡s.
Aren't you glad you have me along? Now that I helped you- You have my undying gratitude.
I like you, MacLeod, but you're beginning to get on my nerves.
And I thought this was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
- Thanks for the ride.
- Wait, wait.
Why don't we talk about this later.
Over dinner.
You don't give up, do you? Not when I really want something.
All right.
Chez Arnaud on Rue de la Mer.
Six o'clock.
And one step at the time.
I have no money.
What's going on here? Who are you? More to the point, what are you doing on this barge? - I'm having a shower! - I can see that.
- What are you doing on this boat! - I own it.
Of course! MacLeod, my friend! I think I'd remember a friend like you.
But I'm Maurice! From the boat next door.
Everyone knows Maurice.
Does everyone find you in their bathroom? All I took was a little water.
Ah, that, Another week and it would have been vinegar.
I was doing you a favor.
And what about the other bottles? You got off cheap.
You should have seen the ruffians I threw off your barge.
There were five, no, six of them.
They were the worst kind.
Who moved the barge? The police.
But you're lucky I was there to supervise.
Did I tell you I was a veteran? I have wounds to prove it.
Maurice, get your clothes and get out this barge.
This is the gratitude you show Maurice.
Maurice, who risked his life to save your barge from the worst flood in fifty years.
And I'm not a young man.
Maurice, don't leave.
I knew you were a man of unending generosity.
Until you clean the place up, and it looks exactly the way I left it.
And I want it done soon.
Maurice, that's my toothbrush.
Pardon.
Bon jour, madam, vous etes ouverte? What can I help you with? I was looking for some caviar for an old friend.
Ah, you've come to the right place.
We have beluga, caviar from Russia- No, I was looking for golden caviar.
Oh, impossible.
You can't get it out of Iran.
My friend said he did.
He said he bought it here.
But not from me.
That was sold by the previous owners.
Oh, I'm sure you can help me.
Believe me, I would love to, but what you want can't be found.
Then where can I find the previous owners? Back in Iran.
In jail.
Perfect.
C'est cher, ca? Duncan! How are you, Catherine? I know.
I'm sorry.
How is Tessa? Tessa, Anton we can't win, can we Duncan? You take your happiness while you can, for as long as it lasts.
Anton knew that.
All we ever wanted was to live our lives without being bothered.
Catherine, I want the Immortal who killed him.
Is there anything you can tell me? Anything at all? Nothing.
He felt the presence of an Immortal, he went out and he never came back.
When he left, did you hear gunfire? You know who did it, dont you? As if there hasn't been enough death already.
Be careful.
Please.
Hi, MacLeod.
So what's our next step? Why dont we take from my first step then start from there? If you work with me, I promise you won't regret it.
Even if you are right about this, what makes you think I want a partner? Because I'm good.
- Do you want some wine? - Yes.
And because we both want the same thing The guy who hit Charlie.
All right, I'll help you get him.
But that's it.
This one guy and then you go home.
So, who are we after? It's an Englishman named James Horton.
But I won't bother digging for his file, because he's too good for that.
- It's all right.
Good.
- May I take a look at that? Paris is a big place.
If he's so good, how do we find him? I think he found us.
Stop! Help.
I'm sorry.
See? I told you I was good.
- How are you feeling? - Fine.
There's gonna be hell to pay with the Sureté, but my people are trying to calm them down.
- Why don't you sit down for a minute? - Can you imagine the paperwork? - Forget the paperwork.
- I want to sit down.
We need to open up this investigation.
We've got to get backup in here, people- No backup.
MacLeod, a man died out there! And you didn't kill him.
It doesn't matter He's dead because of me.
I've been in the field for three years and I never even fired before.
Did you ever kill anyone? Yeah.
It's not easy, is it? It's not supposed to be.
Hello? Speaking.
Now? Couldn't we wait at least a day Yes sir.
Yes sir.
Fifteen minutes.
They want me at the Embassy.
Well, it's not good for you as Army Officer to kill a French national.
They're probably trying to decide whether to kill me or give me a medal.
It's the medal.
It's easier to explain.
I don't want the medal.
It's better not keep a General waiting.
France - 1814 Don't, hold your fire.
There's been enough killing for today.
Go! Go on! Thank you.
But I think I'm already dead.
You Highlanders fought well today.
We paid a high price for our victory.
It was a glorious battle.
Right.
Look.
The jackals They come to rob the dead.
May I ask a favor My ring I want my son to have it.
What is his name? Pierre.
Pierre Martin.
We live in a small village called Mionnais near Lyon.
I will see to it.
Thank you and tell him his father died with honor.
Luck Bergon.
So he was one of yours? Chapeau Vert, Beroux Back, Montero.
Where the favorite nephew of General Haguet Chateau was mortally wounded.
Not a Guardsman, not even a French but you know our battles? It's a great history but Luc Bergon was not part of it.
Bergon was facing disciplinary action last year.
He disappeared before the proceedings.
- You know where to find him? - If I knew, he'd be in prison.
Shame.
He was a good horseman.
It was his passion.
Never stopped riding.
Even when he had time off.
Thanks for your help.
If Cluny hadn't missed, MacLeod would be dead.
And if you hadn't been such a fool, Cluny would still be alive! You were to leave MacLeod to me.
I told you that.
I thought I'd save you the trouble.
You're not paid to think, you're paid to kill when I tell you.
Leave.
Before this is over I'll kill that fool.
Not before he bring us MacLeod.
Marc Cluny This is all you have on him? If you hadn't shot him, his record might have become longer.
I didn't kill him, That's right, you only wounded him.
And if I had my way, you'd be out of the country tomorrow.
So where did he serve as a mercenary? Africa.
How did you know that? Why isn't he in here? The Cluny's are a very old family, with a great many holdings.
And that's enough to keep it off his record? In this country, Warrant Officer Delaney, old ties count for something.
They sure as hell do.
Thanks for your co-operation Detective.
So, how long have you known MacLeod? For a very, very long time.
But for men such as MacLeod and myself time has little meaning.
Is that so? And what exactly is that you do for him? I'm consulting on the remodeling of his barge.
And you're staying there.
An artist needs to be close to his work.
I don't like to boast, but I have exquisite taste.
In everything.
I think I see him.
- MacLeod.
- Hi.
Hi.
I have brought this Venus to you.
Thanks, Maurice.
You said it was important.
Yes.
I called because- Maurice, why don't you go do something? But, I was going to help you to shop.
Then, why don't you go buy some wine? Ah! But with what? How can a grand chef? You're a cook! Cook? I was a chef.
At Pyramid and at the great Fernandem Poanthem.
As filled as before I got here.
On your very excellent credit.
Until later.
So, our dead shooter, Marc Cluny.
He was a mercenary.
You didn't say you were going to the police.
Well, you didn't ask.
Any addresses? About fifty.
Seems his family owns half the buildings in Paris.
Here must be at least a dozen where you could train then.
Maybe, but not many where you could train horses.
Did I missed something here? Yeah, the guy in the car was Luck Bergon, ex cavalry officer.
How did you ID the guy? There was a cuff link in Cluny's hand.
He must have torn it off the driver.
You never mentioned any cuff link! You didn't ask.
So what do we do now? We see if any of these are big enough to hold a riding stable.
There are two entrances to the barge.
Here and here.
A stun grenade in this one, you go in through this one, shooting.
Whenever you're ready.
Have you ever seen harvest caviar? Do they cut the heads off? By the way, you can stop planning.
MacLeod? How did he know we were here? Offhand, I'd say your friend here was sloppy.
Get MacLeod, and you're rich.
Fail, it's the last thing you'll do.
You're not leaving, are you? I'll wait for you on the boat.
A shame.
You'll miss quite a show.
No sword, Xavier? I was thinking of giving it up.
But old habits die hard.
We can't go on meeting like this.
Don't worry.
This will be the last time.
- At least we agree on something.
- We agree on nothing.
You're angry because I broke the rules.
I had two very good reasons.
One, I get to kill you.
Two, I also get a little help ensuring that I am the last of us.
Horton lives to kill us.
He's using you.
As I am using him.
He lives as long as I need him.
Boys! Go for his heart.
Nobody moves! I'm all right.
Go! Just get them! It's finished, James.
Joseph, we're family! I'll light you a candle.
He always had a way out.
I would have done it.
No MacLeod, we make mistakes we clean them up.
Dawson.
I'll see you around.
- I'm done.
- Au revoir! What's the verdict? No broken bones, no blood poisoning.
In a few days I'll be out of here.
That's good.
You don't have to go.
No, you need your rest.
Besides, the police is gonna want to know what happened.
Yeah, I think they are.
In triplicate.
So what do I tell them? Whatever you want, so long as you keep my name out of ¡t.
And the man with one hand? You got Horton.
Leave it there.
There's more of this, isn't there? Do you remember the part where you promised not to follow? Vaguely.
Then keep that promise.
You might even get another medal.
I heard here they kiss you on both cheeks.
Yeah, that's how they do it.
How about you? Take care of yourself.
MacLeod! Good to see you.
You'll have the place in shape in no time.
You'll be very glad you employed me to do the job.
Employ you? All right, we'll talk about it later.
Maurice, were you really a chef? For the very best.
You should have tasted my oysters.
This time of year they were magnificent.
I'm sure they were.
Washed down with a crisp Sancerre, it's like heaven.
Maurice, can we talk about something? I can do things with shrimp you wouldn't believe.
Let me guess you're hungry.
Exactement.
And I have such difficulty talking on an empty stomach.
And you need more money.
If you could lend me a little.
What if someone is looking for a special food, say golden caviar It's possible.
For a price.
Have you a taste for golden caviar? I'm looking for a special buyer.
A elegantly dressed black man, with one hand.
One hand.
MacLeod! You son-of Hey, how come it took you so long to call? Well, I called the hospital a few times they said you were out chasing nurses.
No, man.
I had to get away from the hospital food.
How's the plumbing? Hurts like hell, and I'm not quite as fast as I used to be.
You know, I think they left some lead in there or something, man.
Hey, you'll get it together.
It just takes time.
Yeah, sure.
I thought you might like to know Horton's not coming back.
Funny I don't feel like dancing, but I can't say I'm too sorry either.
Well, don't be.
Just start fixing the dojo up.
That sounds like you are not sure about coming back.
Nothing's written in stone, Charlie.
There's still something I have to finish.
MacLeod, MacLeod! MacLeod, my friend! You wouldn't believe the food I've eaten and the wine I've drunk.
Try me, I paid for it all.
What did you find out? There was one house in Rue Chapelle.
A young black man, very rich, such exquisite taste.
He never comes to the store, only takes deliveries.
And he's waiting for a delivery tonight.
What about the hand? That's the best part.
Only one.
Hey, wait, hey Mac wow! So, did you bring the caviar? I left it upstairs.
That's a shame, I thought we might share it.
Oh, you mean like a last supper.
Exactly.
I'll eat it on your grave.
I doubt it.
Thanks for coming.
No problem.
How's the arm? I just wear this for sympathy.
I have to be in Washington tomorrow.
Great timing, huh? Do you think you'll ever be back in Paris? Does it matter? I mean What I meant to say Listen to me.
I sound like an idiot.
No, you don't.
Look, I know you loved the woman you were with.
Tessa, Right? And I respect that.
And I know you're not supposed to get involved with people you're in the field with but I know there's a question in there somewhere.
Do you think, someday that you and I would Oh, my God this is embarrassing How come you haven't come on to me yet? It's not me, right? Right.
So maybe someday if I guess that answers my question.
Yes it does.
See you around, MacLeod.
See you around, Renee.
