- Okay.
What's up, Mac? Did you see his wrist? What about it? He's got a scar.
So? Like he had a tattoo removed, and not very long ago.
Well maybe he's got a burn or something.
Mac, the guy did just save my life.
Right.
Why? I don't know.
Maybe he's the hero type.
Maybe.
Okay.
Let's go talk to the guys at the carnival and we'll find out.
Hello my man, do you got a last chance of good buck here.
- Try your best chance, please.
- No, thanks.
- Please, just suit me - Tell you what, I'll give a shot.

- Richie, let's do this smart.
- Oh, absolutely, Mac.
Brilliant! No, no, no! - Hey, remember me, huh? - What are you talking about? A couple hours ago, you and your friends tried to kill me.
You're the guy at the shooting gallery.
Yeah, yeah, and you're the son of a bitch who shot at me.
Shot at you? No.
You must be high or dreaming.
I never shot at anybody.
You're lying.
Don't try my patience.
Do you have a tattoo on you? - Yeah.
Yeah, I do.
- Can I see it? Sure.
Here.
- Mac, I know- - Sorry, this was a misunderstanding.
Mac, I know what I saw, man.
The guy had a watcher tattoo this morning.
Not anymore.
I wan to know why you don't believe me about the tattoo.
I didn't say I didn't believe you.
- It sure sounds like it.
- You are not listening to me.
Mac, Fruitcake, at the carnival is lying.
Yeah, I know.
So, why won't do anything about it? What do you wan to do? Go back there and keep all his friends on? Starting right over the tattoo that doesn't even exist.
I know what I saw.
There's also a possibility you could be wrong.
Mac, I'm not wrong.
And there's also a possibility somebody is playing with us.
- Why? - I don't know.
Okay, fine.
Let's go back to the carnival again and we'll find out.
Listen, Fruitcake is not going to tell you anything.
Yeah, I know, but maybe if we can get him alone, you know we can try to convince him.
You know what I'm saying? There's someone else we should be talking to.
Who? Oh, here we go again about the scar on Pete's wrist.
It's something to think about.
Mac, I'm just finding a little hard to believe that you're condemning a guy who saved my life.
All I want to do is talk to him.
No, you don't wanna talk to him.
You've already made out your mind.
Listen, the truth is the truth.
No matter what you feel about it.
Okay, so fine.
Mac, you tell me then, what is the truth? I mean after all, you must've read Pete's mind.
Hey, you know.
I mean, this is really cool because I I know you are immortal but I didn't know you were psychic too.
We're not psychic, tough guy.
But we are cautious.
Don't push me! Close the door.
Hey! Listen! I gotta go to the bathroom.
Why don't just pull over? Come on, just let me off a minute.
I will be good.
Help! Help! Help! You gotta help My wife my wife Hey, what's happening here? - Please! Thanks! - Let it burn.
- I gotta go to the bathroom.
- Here.
Great! - Who are you? - Shut up! You are here to see me? - Stay away from me! - Shut up! You son of a bitch, I kill you! Get your paws off of me.
- Get out, move! - Get away! I'm not going! Shut up! Don't resist me! Let go out me! You've made your point.
- Get in the car! You can't believe right this.
Just get in! Okay, I'm impressed.
Now, tell me where are you taking me.
I said tell me-! You wanna live? Shut up! Maybe his arm was hurting him and he went to the hospital.
Maybe.
Look, Mac.
I haven't lived for 400 years, I realize that, and I can only call 'em like I see 'em but Pete is just another guy on the road.
I hope you're right.
- Pete, what's up man.
- Well, not much.
- How you doing? - Better than yesterday, anyhow.
- Ah, good to hear.
- Yeah.
- Hey Pete.
- Hey.
- How's the arm? - It's a little stiff, but it's all right.
You want some juice, some coffee or something? No, I'm fine.
- Are you sure? - Yeah.
So, what happened yesterday? Why did you take off? This is going to blow your mind.
All right, about a half hour after you guys left I saw this guy hanging around down here.
- What was he doing? - Just checking it out.
He was just standing there watching? Yeah.
So I got out to see what he's doing and he takes off.
So, I did too.
You followed him? Yeah.
I just got thinking about what happened yesterday.
Where you did go? Straight back to the carnival.
What do you think, Mac? I think he should show us.
- So Pete, where are you from? - Lots of places.
We moved around.
My old man took off when I was a kid.
That's why I hit the road.
You know? Figured I'd bump into the son of a bitch sooner or later.
If you do, ask him if he's seen my old man.
Would you? I'll do that.
This is it.
I never went in.
Doesn't seem to be anybody around.
Age before beauty.
Check it out.
This is getting to be just like the movies.
Are you guys CIA or something? Or something.
Pete, I think it's about time you left Paris.
Why? For your health.
You're the good guys, right? Right.
Then I want to help.
You're in way over your head.
Look, I brought you here, didn't I? I can take care of myself.
Richie, what kind of guy would I be if I took out on a friend on need? I'm going back to the hostel.
You guys need me, fine.
If not, fine.
What is with you, Mac? It's too neat, Richie.
Pete's been in the right place at the right time too often.
And if he wasn't I might lost my head.
Richie, if he's for real then he's better off without us.
If he's not- Mac, he checks out.
The bike, the story.
Don't be such a cynic.
Why don't you trust him? England - 1730 You, thief! Are you addressing me? I am the king's sheriff.
This is his land and you are poaching.
The people in the village is starving.
So? So, no people no taxes.
No taxes no money.
No money no sheriff.
You understand? Surely the king can spare one small bear for his loyal subjects- You have been charged and found guilty of poaching.
Who found me guilty? There's been no trial.
It happened when you were unconscious.
Besides, we all saw you.
So what other verdict could there be? That's for a noblemen.
The penalty for poaching is supposed to be hanging! That's it, hang me! Hang me! No rope.
What's the matter, lost your sense of humor? Don't worry.
Your head will soon join it.
But I am a free man.
I have rights! You have nothing, you're a thief.
May God have mercy on your soul.
I didn't know this is the king's land.
My friend told me- Where is your sense of humor, huh? I couldn't help noticing th that you were at the wrong end of that axe, my fellow immortal.
Charles Browning of York.
Duncan MacLeod of the clan MacLeod.
- Thank you.
- You're very welcome.
Well that's a fine bear.
And I'm I'm very hungry.
Hey! Drink half, drink half.
I bet you're getting drunk, my friend.
I hope you villagers are enjoying the bear.
I hope you are not talking about me.
A toast.
To the king.
For such a fine feast! The king! - The king! - The king! Let it be said that is the finest bear I've ever eaten! More wine, wench! More wine, wench! Where are you, wench? More wine.
No, put your silver away, Browning.
No, I insist! I owe you my life.
That is a debt we'll settle some other time.
- No, I insist.
- No! Is a life not more important than a jug of vine? Aye.
Much, much more.
How much? Two jugs! Two jugs of wine! Two jugs for my friend and I! Whench! You're quick, I'll give you that.
You saved me from the axe.
Why waste the Quickening? Now, let's get this over with.
Why? You call me friend.
Friend? I have no friend.
He's my friend, Mac.
I don't see the problem with him.
He's a liar.
Look, I know he's your friend I know you like him.
You're about the same age and were both - So that makes him a liar? - No.
That doesn't.
This police report does.
Go on, read it.
He's not looking for his father.
He's on the run.
He ought two to ten for armed robbery and broke parole.
The police think he held up another liquor store and took off.
The guy still saved my life.
And I still want to know why.
Well? Well the cheekbones are about right.
The skin color, eyes, and nose will need some work and so will these.
- But you can do it? - Of course.
Are you going to tell me what's going on here, or do I have to guess? A little surgery.
You should be grateful.
You're a convicted murderer, Lisa.
With your looks, you'll be recognized, caught and you'll spend the rest of your life in jail.
We don't want that, do we? What's in it for me? A new face a new identity and a great deal of money.
Who do I have to kill? All in good time, my dear all in good time.
What was I gonna tell you, right? That I couldn't go to the hospital because I jumped parole? That wouldn't run over real well.
Look, I'm trying to make a new start here.
You don't know what it's like, man.
I mean, the cops were busting me every damn minute.
Pete, you still should've told me.
Yeah, and made you an accessory, right? Forget about it.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're right.
You've had a rough week.
You getting shot in the arm and a nasty burn go down on there how do you manage that one? You ride a bike? Ever try to change a flat after doing a couple hundred clicks? A few times.
Yeah, well, if you have half a brain then you stay away from the manifold.
Richie, I'm sorry.
Hey, like you said forget about it.
Father Andre? I'm Duncan MacLeod, can I ask you a few questions? Come in, come in.
What can I help you with? Do you ring the church bells every day at noon? Absolutely.
The church bells are an institution.
You must have a great view from up in the tower.
My glimpse on the outside world.
Inspirational, but uneventful.
Was it yesterday? Yesterday? No.
Why not? I saw two men being chased by men with guns.
They escaped on a motorcycle.
It was quite exciting.
Can you tell me anything else about the men you saw? No.
Was there anything else unusual? There was a car parked in the alley a sports car.
You wouldn't happen to know what kind of car was? A silver Aston Martin.
1966 DB6 It still had dealer plates on.
Six cylinders, double bed cams, Even a priest can dream Thank you, father.
Are you a police officer? No.
I'm an immortal.
All right, let's go through this just one more time.
Your name is Lisa Milon you were born in Paris in 1964 your mother's name is Marie your father's name is Jean.
I know my father's name I know my mother's name I know where I went to school and I know I was born.
Then say it.
My name is Lisa Milon.
I was born in Paris in 1964- No, stop! You sound as if you were addressing a judge! Let me see now, hum Lower the pitch and make it lighter the way I showed you before and remember, you're French.
My face hurts.
Come on Lisa, just get on with it.
This is a waste of time.
I can be anyone you want, I can be anything you want.
Look my name is Lisa Milon, I was born in Paris in 1964 my name is Lisa Milon, I was born in Paris in 1964 my name is Lisa Milon, I was born in Paris in 1964 my name is Lisa Milon, I was born in Paris in 1964- Much better.
She's a quick study.
She has to be, we don't have much time.
Even MacLeod has a weakness I found the right weapon now it must function perfectly.
Do you understand? I think so.
Richie, I checked the alley.
There were shells but no bullet holes and no bullet fragments.
- So what are you saying? - That the whole thing is a setup.
Fake tattoos and blanks.
Mac, if they were using blanks how did Pete get shot? Maybe the same way he got the scar.
Mac, he's been in prison for the last four years.
So? So? You saw the police report, no visible scars or tattoos.
Mac, he got it from a burn.
He's not one of them.
Maybe.
Right away.
Immediately.
Just a minute, I have to help somebody here.
Can I help you? I can picture me in this.
Can't you picture me in this? If you have 400,000 dollars.
I left my wallet at home.
Of course.
What can I show you, sir? I was looking an Aston Martin DB6.
Excellent.
A rare vehicle.
Maybe there are two or three in all of Paris.
I have a beautiful green one in the back.
80,000 dollars.
No, actually I was looking for a silver one.
You know if one has been sold recently? Why? Well, I'd like to talk to someone who owns one.
Trust me, there is no finer vehicle.
What can he tell you that I can't? If it's worth 80,000 dollars.
Can we stop now? No.
I'm tired.
I don't care.
Who was Andy Warhol? - I don't know.
- Yes you do.
We've been through this a dozen times.
Who was Kandinsky? He was an artist.
That's brilliant.
Compare his work to Jackson Pollock.
Look, we've talked Manet, we've talked about Monet, we've talked about Picasso how much more of this stuff do I need to know because I'm ready now.
You are ready when I tell you.
I need to sleep! You'll sleep when you're dead.
Stay in the car.
Okay.
Everybody who's immortal raise their hand.
Looks like it's just two of us.
Richie, we don't know what we're gonna find when we get in there.
Right.
If somebody is waiting for us, you probably are better off with me, than without me.
Come on.
MacLeod's found the car.
Okay, Showtime.
Looks like is just the four of us.
Not bad.
Pete! Pete.
It's okay.
What happened? They got me just after you left they were asking me about you and about the barge and everything I didn't know anything but they didn't care; they just kept smacking me around.
I got you.
I got you.
Put him down.
It's okay Pete, you're safe.
I didn't know anything.
They asked about the barge? Yeah, they ask me why I was there, what I saw the layout of the place Just like they were going to attack it or something, you know? God, I wish I had been paying attention because I can't remember anything about what's going on there.
They were gonna kill me man, I'm sure of it.
Huh, you believe him now? Or does he have to take a bullet to prove it to you? They'll need time to regroup, Richie.
We'll be safe tonight.
- And then what? - Then they'll be coming for us.
We'll pack tonight and be gone by noon tomorrow.
We're gonna run? Do you have a better plan? What can I do? You stay out of this, it's not for you.
Richie'll take you to a good hotel and put you under an assumed name.
- Wait, I can't afford that.
- It's on me.
First class.
Is the least I can do.
Do you know what true greatness is, Lisa? Someone who is truly great celebrates in silence.
He doesn't hold up his trophy to the world.
You understand that? Who cares? All I want is to get rid of these damn bandages.
True greatness is completing a task that others have found impossible.
Whatever you say.
I don't expect you understand I just expect that you listen.
I'm going to do something that many have tried and none have ever achieved, and that only a handful would ever even know about.
I'm going to destroy Duncan MacLeod.
And everyday for the rest of my life I'm going to remember and relish it.
Wherever gets you off.
In a way it's sad because whatever else I do, It shall never equal this.
- Did you get him checked in? - Yes, all set.
Why aren't you packing? Because we're not going anywhere but we do have to get ready.
What for? If I'm right they'll be coming for us first time in the morning.
But you said we were leaving.
That was for Pete's benefit.
You still think he's one of them.
Right now he's telling them our plans about leaving tomorrow, they won't want to loose their shot at us.
Mac, you saw what they did to him.
The bruises were fresh.
There was no congealed blood.
It looked like it just happened.
- Mac, they almost killed him! - But they didn't.
They don't leave their mistakes behind! They take them with them.
He was left for a reason.
- No, you don't know that! - I do! I know exactly that! Mac, he's just a regular guy.
He's one of them.
Okay? Listen to me, listen to me he's one of them.
Now we want to stay alive or not? Well, I blew it I got the kid on side, but MacLeod doesn't trust me.
But he wasn't intended to.
Divide and conquer.
We're gonna get MacLeod.
How you gonna do that? Oh, I'm not you are.
It's time for you to be a hero again.
That's it.
I'm out of here.
We're been here since dawn - I'm gonna back for another coat.
- No, you're not.
No? Why you mean no? They're gonna be here soon.
Besides, the cod will keep you sharp.
Mac, I am freezing! No immortal ever died of a chill.
Mac, it's Pete.
He's alone.
What's he doing? He's the point man.
The others will be along soon.
Oh, give me a break.
Just wait.
Mac, there's nobody else there.
I mean if they are coming, we should at least tell him to get the hell out.
Don't say anything.
He's right out in the open.
They're not going to hurt him, Richie.
He's one of them.
- Mac, if you're wrong- - I'm not wrong! - He doesn't stand a chance- - I'm not wrong! Pete.
He's dead.
You just couldn't be wrong, could you? Peter's mother is burying him in Paris today.
The poor woman couldn't afford to fly him home.
The minor actors have played their roles, Lisa.
Now it's up to the star.
I can see the light.
It will seem bright at first.
The eyes are tender.
It hurts.
You'll adjust.
Well? What do you think? Is perfect It's just perfect.
You've done a great job, doctor.
She's exactly like Tessa.

This is getting to be just like the movies.
Are you guys CIA or something? Or something.
Pete, I think it's about time you left Paris.
Why? For your health.
You're the good guys, right? Right.
Then I want to help.
You're in way over your head.
Look, I brought you here, didn't I? I can take care of myself.
Richie, what kind of guy would I be if I took out on a friend on need? I'm going back to the hostel.
You guys need me, fine.
If not, fine.
What is with you, Mac? It's too neat, Richie.
Pete's been in the right place at the right time too often.
And if he wasn't I might lost my head.
Richie, if he's for real then he's better off without us.
If he's not- Mac, he checks out.
The bike, the story.
Don't be such a cynic.
Why don't you trust him? England - 1730 You, thief! Are you addressing me? I am the king's sheriff.
This is his land and you are poaching.
The people in the village is starving.
So? So, no people no taxes.
No taxes no money.
No money no sheriff.
You understand? Surely the king can spare one small bear for his loyal subjects- You have been charged and found guilty of poaching.
Who found me guilty? There's been no trial.
It happened when you were unconscious.
Besides, we all saw you.
So what other verdict could there be? That's for a noblemen.
The penalty for poaching is supposed to be hanging! That's it, hang me! Hang me! No rope.
What's the matter, lost your sense of humor? Don't worry.
Your head will soon join it.
But I am a free man.
I have rights! You have nothing, you're a thief.
May God have mercy on your soul.
I didn't know this is the king's land.
My friend told me- Where is your sense of humor, huh? I couldn't help noticing th that you were at the wrong end of that axe, my fellow immortal.
Charles Browning of York.
Duncan MacLeod of the clan MacLeod.
- Thank you.
- You're very welcome.
Well that's a fine bear.
And I'm I'm very hungry.
Hey! Drink half, drink half.
I bet you're getting drunk, my friend.
I hope you villagers are enjoying the bear.
I hope you are not talking about me.
A toast.
To the king.
For such a fine feast! The king! - The king! - The king! Let it be said that is the finest bear I've ever eaten! More wine, wench! More wine, wench! Where are you, wench? More wine.
No, put your silver away, Browning.
No, I insist! I owe you my life.
That is a debt we'll settle some other time.
- No, I insist.
- No! Is a life not more important than a jug of vine? Aye.
Much, much more.
How much? Two jugs! Two jugs of wine! Two jugs for my friend and I! Whench! You're quick, I'll give you that.
You saved me from the axe.
Why waste the Quickening? Now, let's get this over with.
Why? You call me friend.
Friend? I have no friend.
He's my friend, Mac.
I don't see the problem with him.
He's a liar.
Look, I know he's your friend I know you like him.
You're about the same age and were both - So that makes him a liar? - No.
That doesn't.
This police report does.
Go on, read it.
He's not looking for his father.
He's on the run.
He ought two to ten for armed robbery and broke parole.
The police think he held up another liquor store and took off.
The guy still saved my life.
And I still want to know why.
Well? Well the cheekbones are about right.
The skin color, eyes, and nose will need some work and so will these.
- But you can do it? - Of course.
Are you going to tell me what's going on here, or do I have to guess? A little surgery.
You should be grateful.
You're a convicted murderer, Lisa.
With your looks, you'll be recognized, caught and you'll spend the rest of your life in jail.
We don't want that, do we? What's in it for me? A new face a new identity and a great deal of money.
Who do I have to kill? All in good time, my dear all in good time.
What was I gonna tell you, right? That I couldn't go to the hospital because I jumped parole? That wouldn't run over real well.
Look, I'm trying to make a new start here.
You don't know what it's like, man.
I mean, the cops were busting me every damn minute.
Pete, you still should've told me.
Yeah, and made you an accessory, right? Forget about it.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're right.
You've had a rough week.
You getting shot in the arm and a nasty burn go down on there how do you manage that one? You ride a bike? Ever try to change a flat after doing a couple hundred clicks? A few times.
Yeah, well, if you have half a brain then you stay away from the manifold.
Richie, I'm sorry.
Hey, like you said forget about it.
Father Andre? I'm Duncan MacLeod, can I ask you a few questions? Come in, come in.
What can I help you with? Do you ring the church bells every day at noon? Absolutely.
The church bells are an institution.
You must have a great view from up in the tower.
My glimpse on the outside world.
Inspirational, but uneventful.
Was it yesterday? Yesterday? No.
Why not? I saw two men being chased by men with guns.
They escaped on a motorcycle.
It was quite exciting.
Can you tell me anything else about the men you saw? No.
Was there anything else unusual? There was a car parked in the alley a sports car.
You wouldn't happen to know what kind of car was? A silver Aston Martin.
1966 DB6 It still had dealer plates on.
Six cylinders, double bed cams, Even a priest can dream Thank you, father.
Are you a police officer? No.
I'm an immortal.
All right, let's go through this just one more time.
Your name is Lisa Milon you were born in Paris in 1964 your mother's name is Marie your father's name is Jean.
I know my father's name I know my mother's name I know where I went to school and I know I was born.
Then say it.
My name is Lisa Milon.
I was born in Paris in 1964- No, stop! You sound as if you were addressing a judge! Let me see now, hum Lower the pitch and make it lighter the way I showed you before and remember, you're French.
My face hurts.
Come on Lisa, just get on with it.
This is a waste of time.
I can be anyone you want, I can be anything you want.
Look my name is Lisa Milon, I was born in Paris in 1964 my name is Lisa Milon, I was born in Paris in 1964 my name is Lisa Milon, I was born in Paris in 1964 my name is Lisa Milon, I was born in Paris in 1964- Much better.
She's a quick study.
She has to be, we don't have much time.
Even MacLeod has a weakness I found the right weapon now it must function perfectly.
Do you understand? I think so.
Richie, I checked the alley.
There were shells but no bullet holes and no bullet fragments.
- So what are you saying? - That the whole thing is a setup.
Fake tattoos and blanks.
Mac, if they were using blanks how did Pete get shot? Maybe the same way he got the scar.
Mac, he's been in prison for the last four years.
So? So? You saw the police report, no visible scars or tattoos.
Mac, he got it from a burn.
He's not one of them.
Maybe.
Right away.
Immediately.
Just a minute, I have to help somebody here.
Can I help you? I can picture me in this.
Can't you picture me in this? If you have 400,000 dollars.
I left my wallet at home.
Of course.
What can I show you, sir? I was looking an Aston Martin DB6.
Excellent.
A rare vehicle.
Maybe there are two or three in all of Paris.
I have a beautiful green one in the back.
80,000 dollars.
No, actually I was looking for a silver one.
You know if one has been sold recently? Why? Well, I'd like to talk to someone who owns one.
Trust me, there is no finer vehicle.
What can he tell you that I can't? If it's worth 80,000 dollars.
Can we stop now? No.
I'm tired.
I don't care.
Who was Andy Warhol? - I don't know.
- Yes you do.
We've been through this a dozen times.
Who was Kandinsky? He was an artist.
That's brilliant.
Compare his work to Jackson Pollock.
Look, we've talked Manet, we've talked about Monet, we've talked about Picasso how much more of this stuff do I need to know because I'm ready now.
You are ready when I tell you.
I need to sleep! You'll sleep when you're dead.
Stay in the car.
Okay.
Everybody who's immortal raise their hand.
Looks like it's just two of us.
Richie, we don't know what we're gonna find when we get in there.
Right.
If somebody is waiting for us, you probably are better off with me, than without me.
Come on.
MacLeod's found the car.
Okay, Showtime.
Looks like is just the four of us.
Not bad.
Pete! Pete.
It's okay.
What happened? They got me just after you left they were asking me about you and about the barge and everything I didn't know anything but they didn't care; they just kept smacking me around.
I got you.
I got you.
Put him down.
It's okay Pete, you're safe.
I didn't know anything.
They asked about the barge? Yeah, they ask me why I was there, what I saw the layout of the place Just like they were going to attack it or something, you know? God, I wish I had been paying attention because I can't remember anything about what's going on there.
They were gonna kill me man, I'm sure of it.
Huh, you believe him now? Or does he have to take a bullet to prove it to you? They'll need time to regroup, Richie.
We'll be safe tonight.
- And then what? - Then they'll be coming for us.
We'll pack tonight and be gone by noon tomorrow.
We're gonna run? Do you have a better plan? What can I do? You stay out of this, it's not for you.
Richie'll take you to a good hotel and put you under an assumed name.
- Wait, I can't afford that.
- It's on me.
First class.
Is the least I can do.
Do you know what true greatness is, Lisa? Someone who is truly great celebrates in silence.
He doesn't hold up his trophy to the world.
You understand that? Who cares? All I want is to get rid of these damn bandages.
True greatness is completing a task that others have found impossible.
Whatever you say.
I don't expect you understand I just expect that you listen.
I'm going to do something that many have tried and none have ever achieved, and that only a handful would ever even know about.
I'm going to destroy Duncan MacLeod.
And everyday for the rest of my life I'm going to remember and relish it.
Wherever gets you off.
In a way it's sad because whatever else I do, It shall never equal this.
- Did you get him checked in? - Yes, all set.
Why aren't you packing? Because we're not going anywhere but we do have to get ready.
What for? If I'm right they'll be coming for us first time in the morning.
But you said we were leaving.
That was for Pete's benefit.
You still think he's one of them.
Right now he's telling them our plans about leaving tomorrow, they won't want to loose their shot at us.
Mac, you saw what they did to him.
The bruises were fresh.
There was no congealed blood.
It looked like it just happened.
- Mac, they almost killed him! - But they didn't.
They don't leave their mistakes behind! They take them with them.
He was left for a reason.
- No, you don't know that! - I do! I know exactly that! Mac, he's just a regular guy.
He's one of them.
Okay? Listen to me, listen to me he's one of them.
Now we want to stay alive or not? Well, I blew it I got the kid on side, but MacLeod doesn't trust me.
But he wasn't intended to.
Divide and conquer.
We're gonna get MacLeod.
How you gonna do that? Oh, I'm not you are.
It's time for you to be a hero again.
That's it.
I'm out of here.
We're been here since dawn - I'm gonna back for another coat.
- No, you're not.
No? Why you mean no? They're gonna be here soon.
Besides, the cod will keep you sharp.
Mac, I am freezing! No immortal ever died of a chill.
Mac, it's Pete.
He's alone.
What's he doing? He's the point man.
The others will be along soon.
Oh, give me a break.
Just wait.
Mac, there's nobody else there.
I mean if they are coming, we should at least tell him to get the hell out.
Don't say anything.
He's right out in the open.
They're not going to hurt him, Richie.
He's one of them.
- Mac, if you're wrong- - I'm not wrong! - He doesn't stand a chance- - I'm not wrong! Pete.
He's dead.
You just couldn't be wrong, could you? Peter's mother is burying him in Paris today.
The poor woman couldn't afford to fly him home.
The minor actors have played their roles, Lisa.
Now it's up to the star.
I can see the light.
It will seem bright at first.
The eyes are tender.
It hurts.
You'll adjust.
Well? What do you think? Is perfect It's just perfect.
You've done a great job, doctor.
She's exactly like Tessa.
