"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 2x18 "PHARAOH'S DAUGHTER" Move over! Get down! Don't move! - Please don't kill me.
- Don't move! Jacques? It's okay.
I don't want to hurt you.
Does Rome still rule the world? No.
No, they don't.
Where am I? In Paris, France.
Where is that? It's a long way from Egypt.
I'm Duncan MacLeod.
I am Nefertiri.
- It's okay.
- What are you doing? I'm just attracting some attention.
Here.
What's is it? It's a kind of chariot.
Where are the horses? There under there.
They're real tiny.
I promise, you'll be safe.
A little farther on, good.
A little more.
They're coming from the other side How could this have happened? None of this makes any sense.
According to the driver two men tried to rob him, but nothing was missing except the contents of the sarcophagus.
There was nothing in the sarcophagus, Victor.
It was Nefertiri's mummy.
I have the packing list right here.
The list is wrong.
Tell the police that nothing is missing.
But the insurance covers it.
There will be no claim because nothing was stolen.
Nothing.
I don't understand, Sr.
You don't have to.
That was terrifying Well Paris traffic, it takes a little getting used to.
Eh! Duncan! How are you? It is okay, is Maurice.
He lives on the boat next door.
And bonjour to you, Mademoiselle.
Bonjour, Maurice.
I knew it.
The minute I saw you step out of that car.
You have a certain je-ne-sais-quoi that no French woman possesses Maurice, Nefertiri's tired.
She just got into town.
Maybe you are hungry? I've just made a coq au vin for lunch.
- My mother's recipe - No, she's not hungry.
Then maybe I can help you with your coat? Are you certain he is your friend? Look, if there's anything you need, a tour of the city, perhaps I was born and raised in Paris! This is my home town! - Maurice? - Yeah! Good bye.
What a woman! (In French) Maurice! How long has it been? About 2000 years.
Everything I knew, its gone.
My home, My world.
.
My queen.
Cleopatra? I was her handmaiden.
And a friend.
I was sworn to serve, and protect her.
I failed.
Well, Rome is a lot to take on even for us Immortals.
This is my world now.
Teach me about it.
Please.
Where do you want to start? Here.
It moves.
It's a clock.
Clock.
Tells you the time of day.
Like a sundial.
It gives out light.
Hello, you've reached Duncan MacLeod.
Please, leave a message and I'll be right with you.
This is mad! What is this box? He's making a telephone call.
You can talk with whoever you want.
And where you keep the horses in here? Drop that.
That's that's not good.
This is another form of hieroglyphic.
It's called a newspaper.
You can I like it.
Undress me.
You're gonna have to do that yourself.
Not here! No! In there.
It's completely antinatural.
You'll get use to it.
It's locked.
I'm beginning to get accustomed to these shoes.
How dare you? - Sorry Officer.
- Sorry? He should be on his knees.
You can't go around slapping people, especially ones in uniform.
Why not? You know what are you holding? Fifth Empire from Saggarah.
Very beautiful, very rare.
Unique.
Very good.
But is more than that.
It's history.
It's who we were, who we'll be.
And easily traceable.
Anyone who'd try to steal one of these would either be a fool or know the few collectors willing to buy and keep their mouths shut.
Do the police has any suspects? They think it's someone who works in the museum.
That might have held Cleopatra's facial oils.
What do you think? Excellent Piece.
Sr.
I didn't mean the box.
About the robbery? That's beyond me.
I'm not much of a detective.
Humor me.
Two men tried to rob the van, somebody stopped them and took whatever there was in the sarcophagus.
There was nothing in the sarcophagus.
Right.
That's what you said.
It's strange the way some things remain the same, and others are so different.
Styles, manners How am I ever going to survive? Well, I think you're doing pretty good so far.
I do not believe it.
I used to see that from my window at the summer palace.
I have to know I have to understand How did my world turn into this? Come.
So, if I understand this correctly, when the Roman Empire fell In 476.
Give or take a few years.
mankind went backwards.
Into the Dark Ages.
Then, came the Crusades.
There were seven or eight of them between 1096 and 1270.
A bunch of noblemen decided that was a good idea to rape and plunder their way to Jerusalem.
And were you one of them? Before my time.
This is exquisite.
That's the Renaissance.
I think I would have liked it then.
I feel like a ghost Do they remember her, Duncan? Do they know how she saved Egypt with her wisdom and her beauty? When whole armies could not? Do they know her name? Everyone knows Cleopatra.
She became the most famous woman in history.
Would that I'd be with her in Paradise.
You sure? Alexandria - Egypt - 30 B.
C.
You may stop your work.
I must speak to our Queen.
Forgive me, my Queen, but I can't go with you, anymore than I can't stay behind.
Everything we loved is gone, and now Rome will rule our world.
And so, I shall rest with you until all this is nothing more than a faded memory.
Nefertiri, wait Now you know why I didn't want you to go in there.
You cannot protect me from the past.
- Is there something wrong? - No.
Everything it's fine.
Go back to the office.
I'll be done in a minute.
He's come for me I need a sword.
Let her go.
I said let her go.
Who are you? I'm Duncan MacLeod.
Are you all right? I'm fine, Angela.
Don't worry.
I'll see you again.
Something? What do you want? Your necklace.
Come on.
Duncan! You all right? I'm now that you found me.
Who was he? His name is Marcus Constantine.
He's a Roman General.
My enemy.
I'm glad that I have you for a friend.
Why not? Because you don't buy loyalty with sex.
Cleopatra believed that the joys of the flesh could raise a man to godhood.
This isn't Ancient Egypt.
It's Paris.
And I'm not Mark Antony or Caesar.
I'm not asking you to die for me.
Yet.
Women never use sex to their advantage anymore? Let's just say hardly ever.
I surpass myself.
Modesty will get you nowhere, Maurice.
- You look sensational.
- Me, too.
I mean, yes.
Weren't you going somewhere? Yeah, I have a few errands to run.
I won't take very long.
Then I wish to go with you.
No, I don't think you do.
You're going to see Constantine.
Don't worry, MacLeod.
I'll take good care of her.
Yeah, I'm sure you will.
You want to taste? Coq au vin? You wanted to see me? Why, Victor? I beg your pardon? You come from a wealthy family.
You don't need the money.
Perhaps if I knew what you were getting at, sir.
Bastard! You set up the robbery! If you have proof, go to the police.
But you won't, will you? Your kind never do.
What do you mean my kind? MacLeod.
We'll finish this later.
Yes, we will, Sir.
You treat all your help that way? What do you want? The question is what you want.
I have no quarrel with you.
If you want Nefertiri's head you do.
So, she's found a new protector.
Trust me, she doesn't need one.
I'm her friend.
Believe me Macleod, the last person in the world that I would want to harm is Nefertiri.
I don't want to kill her.
I don't want to kill anyone.
Please, come.
Let me show you something.
The biggest farce in the making of man's history is the notion that wars are fought to save civilization.
I used to make history.
Now I try to make sure it survives.
I'm a historian, a curator.
These are yours? Why the change? Rome.
And what we did in her name.
You should have seen it.
The roads, the amphitheaters, the libraries It was magnificent.
We lived like kings.
Except the slaves that made up most of the Empire.
Yes, is true.
We conquered nations so slaves could do our work for us.
We became lazy.
We stopped learning remembering.
Those who forget history are bound to repeat it.
And mankind does, again and again and again.
That's why I teach, MacLeod.
I don't kill.
I have my work.
I have a new wife that I love.
Very much.
He'll be back, don't worry.
How about some cheese? No, thank you.
I guess I'll just have a little piece of goat cheese if nobody minds.
Do you think you would ever be interested in an older man? I do not know, I've never met one.
Hello? Who are you? Doesn't matter.
What matters is that I know who you are.
What are you talking about? You're an obscenity who should have died two thousand years ago.
I do not know what you mean.
Don't lie to me, you Immortal bitch.
What is that? First you Then MacLeod Then Constantine.
And to think all I came for was the Roman.
Three for the price of one.
Is this what you want? It took me centuries to find her tomb.
And you did this for history's sake? She is history.
Uncorrupted, living and breathing in our time.
But that's not all she is.
No.
She used to be my world.
I want to stay with you forever.
Be careful what you wish for.
It just might come true.
Nothing must come between us.
Ever.
Nothing will.
Nothing can.
Not even war? There won't be a war.
And if there is? I won't let them hurt you.
It would not be about me, Marcus.
But about my country and my Queen.
Come here.
Even our lives are too short to worry about things that will never happen.
I had no choice.
He said he was going to kill me.
And you.
He knew I was an Immortal.
How is this possible? Later.
You all right? What happened? You must have taken a nasty fall.
- Am I bleeding? - No, you'll be fine.
But I think you should go home and get some rest.
I thought I was dead.
Thanks for looking after my friend.
For medicinal purposes.
I've taken care of the body.
It won't be found.
So, tell me what happened.
- Constantine must have sent him.
- No, he came on his own.
I saw him at the museum.
He works for Constantine.
Constantine wouldn't hurt you.
He told me that he once loved you.
It wasn't me he loved.
He loved Rome! Come to me and die! Enough! Leave us! It's over, Nefertiri.
What are you talking about? She was ordered to Rome and chained.
My Lady treated as a slave? - Where is she? I must go to her.
- You can't! Listen to me! She's dead, Nefertiri.
Cleopatra's taken her own life.
Fight me, Marcus.
kill me if you can.
I trusted you.
I took you into my bed.
I love you, Nefertiri.
Come back to Rome with me.
As your slave? As my wife.
Never.
I don't want to have to hurt you.
Then die.
Intruder! Nefertiri! He betrayed me and destroyed everything I loved.
He's changed.
He still sees with the same eyes.
The same heart still beats in his breast.
He may have forgotten who he is, but I have not.
He is still Roman.
I am still Egyptian.
Nefertiri, that was two thousand years ago.
I know it seems like yesterday to you.
What can I do, Duncan? See him.
Talk to him.
How can I? How can I without betraying everything that I am? Nefertiri, you're not Cleopatra's handmaiden any longer.
Then who am I? What I am? Please, Duncan.
I'm so lost.
There used to be an Immortal living in that chapel over there, a priest.
Darius.
I didn't know you knew Darius.
It was my greatest enemy.
No, we were very good friends.
There was a time I found it difficult to forgive him for bringing the Goths to Rome.
I couldn't forgive him for destroying everything I loved.
So you do know how it feels? Nefertiri, I'm glad you came.
What is it you want? For you to live and be happy.
And to convince you that I am not your enemy.
And what do you call someone who lies to you and destroys everything you love? I defended Rome.
You defended your Queen.
They're both long gone.
Please let this war be over.
Two thousand years is a long time to hold a grudge.
Nefertiri, please this is a new chance for both of you.
For all of us.
That sounds like Sidney Bucket soprano saxes.
Although the playing seems a little different.
You know of Sidney Bucket? It was a shame he left New Orleans.
Well, New Orleans loss was Paris' gain.
It must have been magic there.
Yeah, as a kid, Louis Armstrong playing with King Oliver's band and Bucket wailing around the corner.
They were great days.
You sound like you were there.
Maybe he was.
Maybe his grandfather was.
Some men never look their age.
How about some coffee? Good idea.
Darling? I'm so glad to get to know you.
To be honest I was a little nervous when Marcus told me you were coming.
She was an amazing woman, Cleopatra.
Their army was finished, the economy was in ruins, yet her people still ate and she stayed queen.
Was she as beautiful as they say? More.
I know you two were very close.
We're not anymore.
But I do understand how these things can be difficult.
When I first saw you I was a little jealous.
Whatever for? The way he looks at you I could tell you mean the world to him.
I hope so.
The whole world.
What were you two been talking about? A life for a life, Marcus.
Angela! No! Live and be happy, Marcus! Is that not what you wanted me to do? After you destroyed my world.
Not so easy, is it? - I think you'd better get out of here.
- Live and be happy now.
Get out, I said! I want you out of here and out of my life! I thought we understood each other.
What we could give each other.
Nefertiri, you don't give, you just trade.
I've done nothing my Queen wouldn't have done! Your Queen was saving a nation.
You're not saving anything, not even yourself.
You don't even know how close you are to losing your head.
- Marcus would not kill me.
- I'm not talking about him.
You are like him.
You make love to me! You make love to me and then you betray me! - Betray you? - Yes! You used me to get in his home and kill his wife! This is not about you, Duncan! It wasn't about Angela either, was it? Get out! I always knew I'd bury her.
I just didn't think it would be so soon.
I'm so sorry.
I should have seen it.
I should have known.
It's my fault.
I shouldn't have brought Nefertiri here.
I thought that because I had changed, she could too.
What do you do now? I'll mourn her.
You mean, do I avenge her? Would it bring her back? Would it change anything? In a way, she didn't kill Angela.
I did.
You know she'll be coming for you.
It's over, Nefertiri, let him go.
Not until one of us is dead.
Damn you.
First you have to kill me.
I couldn't fight you two thousand years ago and I won't fight you now.
Once I used to love you more than life itself.
Part of me still does.
Then die loving me.
You cannot interfere in our fight.
This isn't a fight, Nefertiri, it's an execution! Listen to reason! This has nothing to do with reason, it is about loyalty.
I swore an oath to my Queen.
And it is all that I have left.
No, the war is over! No, it has only just begun.
Don't do this.
You've betrayed my love! Never.
Betrayal is cause for death! I loved you, I trusted you! No.
What you call loyalty and love are nothing more than anger and fear! I have no fear! How can so much love turn into so much hate? I have felt no hate! No hate! You cannot win, Duncan.
You cannot kill someone you've taken into your bed and loved.
Can you? Sorry you had to kill her.
I keep thinking if there was something else I could have done.
You could have died.
What would Darius have said to you now? I don't know I'll tell you.
That you mustnt blame yourself She made it war and you fought with a warrior's instinct.
That life always chooses life.
That's what he would've said.
Yeah.
She was an extraordinary woman.
Yes, she was.
"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.

He is Duncan MacLeod, the Highlander.

- Don't move! Jacques? It's okay.

Does Rome still rule the world? No.
No, they don't.

He lives on the boat next door.
And bonjour to you, Mademoiselle.

Everything I knew, its gone.
My home, My world.
.
My queen.
Cleopatra? I was her handmaiden.
And a friend.
I was sworn to serve, and protect her.
I failed.
Well, Rome is a lot to take on even for us Immortals.
This is my world now.
Teach me about it.
Please.

He told me that he once loved you.
It wasn't me he loved.
He loved Rome! Come to me and die! Enough! Leave us! It's over, Nefertiri.
What are you talking about? She was ordered to Rome and chained.
My Lady treated as a slave? - Where is she? I must go to her.
- You can't! Listen to me! She's dead, Nefertiri.
Cleopatra's taken her own life.
Fight me, Marcus.
kill me if you can.
I trusted you.
I took you into my bed.
I love you, Nefertiri.
Come back to Rome with me.
As your slave? As my wife.
Never.
I don't want to have to hurt you.
Then die.
Intruder! Nefertiri! He betrayed me and destroyed everything I loved.
He's changed.
He still sees with the same eyes.
The same heart still beats in his breast.
He may have forgotten who he is, but I have not.
He is still Roman.
I am still Egyptian.
Nefertiri, that was two thousand years ago.
I know it seems like yesterday to you.
What can I do, Duncan? See him.
Talk to him.
How can I? How can I without betraying everything that I am? Nefertiri, you're not Cleopatra's handmaiden any longer.
Then who am I? What I am? Please, Duncan.
I'm so lost.
There used to be an Immortal living in that chapel over there, a priest.
Darius.
I didn't know you knew Darius.
It was my greatest enemy.
No, we were very good friends.
There was a time I found it difficult to forgive him for bringing the Goths to Rome.
I couldn't forgive him for destroying everything I loved.
So you do know how it feels? Nefertiri, I'm glad you came.
What is it you want? For you to live and be happy.
And to convince you that I am not your enemy.
And what do you call someone who lies to you and destroys everything you love? I defended Rome.
You defended your Queen.
They're both long gone.
Please let this war be over.
Two thousand years is a long time to hold a grudge.
Nefertiri, please this is a new chance for both of you.
For all of us.
That sounds like Sidney Bucket soprano saxes.
Although the playing seems a little different.
You know of Sidney Bucket? It was a shame he left New Orleans.
Well, New Orleans loss was Paris' gain.
It must have been magic there.
Yeah, as a kid, Louis Armstrong playing with King Oliver's band and Bucket wailing around the corner.
They were great days.
You sound like you were there.
Maybe he was.
Maybe his grandfather was.
Some men never look their age.
How about some coffee? Good idea.
Darling? I'm so glad to get to know you.
To be honest I was a little nervous when Marcus told me you were coming.
She was an amazing woman, Cleopatra.
Their army was finished, the economy was in ruins, yet her people still ate and she stayed queen.
Was she as beautiful as they say? More.
I know you two were very close.
We're not anymore.
But I do understand how these things can be difficult.
When I first saw you I was a little jealous.
Whatever for? The way he looks at you I could tell you mean the world to him.
I hope so.
The whole world.
What were you two been talking about? A life for a life, Marcus.
Angela! No! Live and be happy, Marcus! Is that not what you wanted me to do? After you destroyed my world.
Not so easy, is it? - I think you'd better get out of here.
- Live and be happy now.
Get out, I said! I want you out of here and out of my life! I thought we understood each other.
What we could give each other.
Nefertiri, you don't give, you just trade.
I've done nothing my Queen wouldn't have done! Your Queen was saving a nation.
You're not saving anything, not even yourself.
You don't even know how close you are to losing your head.
- Marcus would not kill me.
- I'm not talking about him.
You are like him.
You make love to me! You make love to me and then you betray me! - Betray you? - Yes! You used me to get in his home and kill his wife! This is not about you, Duncan! It wasn't about Angela either, was it? Get out! I always knew I'd bury her.
I just didn't think it would be so soon.
I'm so sorry.
I should have seen it.
I should have known.
It's my fault.
I shouldn't have brought Nefertiri here.
I thought that because I had changed, she could too.
What do you do now? I'll mourn her.
You mean, do I avenge her? Would it bring her back? Would it change anything? In a way, she didn't kill Angela.
I did.
You know she'll be coming for you.
It's over, Nefertiri, let him go.
Not until one of us is dead.
Damn you.
First you have to kill me.
I couldn't fight you two thousand years ago and I won't fight you now.
Once I used to love you more than life itself.
Part of me still does.
Then die loving me.
You cannot interfere in our fight.
This isn't a fight, Nefertiri, it's an execution! Listen to reason! This has nothing to do with reason, it is about loyalty.
I swore an oath to my Queen.
And it is all that I have left.
No, the war is over! No, it has only just begun.
Don't do this.
You've betrayed my love! Never.
Betrayal is cause for death! I loved you, I trusted you! No.
What you call loyalty and love are nothing more than anger and fear! I have no fear! How can so much love turn into so much hate? I have felt no hate! No hate! You cannot win, Duncan.
You cannot kill someone you've taken into your bed and loved.
Can you? Sorry you had to kill her.
I keep thinking if there was something else I could have done.
You could have died.
What would Darius have said to you now? I don't know I'll tell you.
That you mustnt blame yourself She made it war and you fought with a warrior's instinct.
That life always chooses life.
That's what he would've said.
Yeah.
She was an extraordinary woman.
Yes, she was.
