Funny how we keep running into each other.
Maybe you should get collision insurance.

Hey! I thought you might need this.
Thank you.
I'll see you inside.
All right.
Listen, I'd love to talk with you, but I can't.
There's been a bus accident.
It's gonna be a very long day.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Okay.
Thanks.
Good luck.
Dr.
Warner, call emergency.
Okay, we've got some internal bleeding, multiple contusions and abrasions, probable fractures, but let's get her into O.
R.
Stop that bleeding.
If we don't do that, the rest doesn't matter.
Who's this brave little girl? Robin.
Robin, hi.
Listen, I'm gonna touch you very gently, and you tell me what hurts so I can fix it, okay? Your ribs? Yeah.
How 'bout your toes? Ooh! You know what? You are gonna be just fine.

Thanks.
We're ready in three.
Help! Someone will be with you right away.
Get someone to help! Doctor, I need some help.
I'm sorry.
I must be on my way.
Yes, well, I'm sure you'll be fine.
Excuse me? Hello? Yes.
Parking lot's full, man.
I'll let 'em know you're here.
He's gone.
Put him on a respirator? No.
It's too late for him.
You should be prepping for those bleeding still.
I hate this part.
Duncan.
Brian? I heard you were still around.
Okay, dog.
How are you? Well, great.
Never better.
Fantastico.
You look like hell.
It's funny.
Slammin' into a bus'll do that to ya.
You were in the crash? A truck was on the wrong side of the road.
You know these mountain roads.
Ya cheat on the corners, whammo.
Scrap metal.
I heard a lot of people were hurt.
I heard that too.
I better get outta here before they start countin' bodies.
You're sure you're all right? Yeah.
Just a bit shaky after the wreck, I guess.
You're gonna attract a lot of attention dressed like that.
Don't I always? I spy with my little eye something beginnin' with "A".
"A".
- These Alps.
- No.
They're gettin' on my nerves, Duncan.
How long till we get to France? Another day.
Just sit back and enjoy the scenery.
Scenery.
Trees.
Trees.
Trees.
What the hell do the Swiss do for excitement? They build cuckoo clocks.
Aye, they would.
But I got somethin' better.
Where did you get that one from? Any port in a storm, Duncan.
At least it's cognac.
Barely.
Cullen? Brian Cullen? Mountains aren't so borin' after all.
He's not immortal.
Do ya know him? I don't have to.
Which of you is Brian Cullen? We're traveling, lad.
We're not lookin' for a fight.
Which of you is Cullen? Him.
Why don't you go home, son? Say you never found me.
My name is Alan Kelly.
And that is the last time that you will turn your back on me.
Tell him to go away, MacLeod.
He's given ya fair warning, lad.
I'd take it if I were you.
The only thing that I will take from you, Cullen, is your life.
Think about this, son.
I already have, and I think you're a coward.
Well, if that's the way it has to be then.
Will you give me a moment? Aye.
He's in no hurry to fight me.
He's in no hurry to kill ya, you young fool.
The best swordsman in all o' Europe.
Not for long, he's not.
Why don't they stop coming? Because you're the best.
I'll wait for you.
It won't be necessary.
I'll catch up on the young dandy's horse.
Make sure it's filled with something better.
Bye, Brian! Thanks for the offer, Duncan.
I pretty much lost everything in the wreck.
We'll find something here to fit you.
Stayin' long? Not long.
Lookin' for a guy.
Yeah, that kinda guy.
I'm gonna find him, and then I'm happy.
Thought you weren't fighting much these days.
Still the best.
You always were.
It's okay.
Take it easy.
Richie! I'm glad you're back, man.
Some lunatic came after me with a car this morning.
Son of a bitch.
I take it you guys know each other.
Let's go, boy.
- Anytime you're ready.
- Brian, this is my home.
Richie's my friend.
Nobody makes a fool outta me.
Oh, you didn't need my help, jackass.
You were doin' just fine on your own.
What on earth is this all about? Son of a bitch tried to sucker punch me in a bar.
Sucker punchyou? I never touched him, Mac.
He was drunker than hell.
He just fell on his ass.
- Let's do it.
- All right.
Let's go.
- No, wait! He's my friend.
Oh! Careful.
I remember when it was safe to walk in the streets.
Where are all these people coming from? Gold has always had a way of attracting a crowd.
I think some of them are surprised they actually have to dig for it.
They think the whole city is made of gold.
In a way it is.
There are 30 new homes being built every day.
Music halls, gambling parlors, and who knows? Maybe even one day a bridge across the bay.
The gold will run out.
The city will still be here.
Why think about when the gold runs out? We'll all be dead and gone by then.
Maybe.
Let's not think about that, now.
Duncan? Uh, I have to leave, Katherine.
I have to leave.
You're not coming now.
I forgot.
I have an appointment.
But we had such a perfect afternoon.
Can you look after that for me? I'll be back as soon as I can.
I promise.
Michael! My God, son.
It's you.
How are ya? I'm Duncan MacLeod of the clan MacLeod.
Is that a fact? - Brian! - Duncan.
Yes, sir! What were you doing back there? Oh, I didn't know it was you.
What are you doing in San Francisco? I was on my way to get a little drinky.
Care to join me? I have a lady waiting.
Ah, isn't there always? But there's time for a wee-- That's not even a nip.
Come on.
Have a drink with an old friend.
Catch up.
You all right? Never better.
What could possibly be wrong? Come on, let's go find a crowd.
Do you know who it is? No, and I'm in no mood to find out.
Let's go get that drink! Brian, I-- Let the bastard live another day.
I'm Zoltan Laszlo.
Which one of you is Brian Cullen? - Him.
- Come on, Cullen.
It's time.
Gentlemen-- Brian? Are you a coward too? I'm Duncan MacLeod of the clan MacLeod, and I fight when I'm challenged.
I came for Cullen.
When you find him, tell him I'm still here.
You're only alive because you're MacLeod's friend.
You wanna keep your head, stay outta my way.
Don't do me any favors, okay? Richie, if you don't have to, don't.
You wouldn't last Thanks, Duncan.
Think I'll get a hotel.
This guy's a friend of yours? Yeah.
Mac, he tried to run me over with acar, and then he was gonna take my head.
Be careful of him, Richie.
He holds a grudge and he's good.
He's an idiot.
How good? Used to be the best.
So? Gimme some advice.
Practice.
Try to stay out of his way.
Dr.
Porter, please call I.
C.
U.
Rough night? Yeah.
Buy you breakfast? Oh, thanks, but, um, I can barely see straight.
Sure? Yeah, I think I'm gonna go home and go straight to bed.
And dream about this? Well, I'm a little too old for nightmares.
How about you? No.
Maybe you're not either.
So, how come you know so much? I'll tell you over breakfast.
Yeah.
I'll go wash up.
You're right.
I'd much rather dream about something like this.
Helps you through those rough nights.
Mm-hmm.
Actually, sometimes I think the best way to get through it is to just keep right on goin'.
Make a decision and move on.
That's right.
And in the morning you can stop and wonder what it is you could have done differently.
Stop wondering.
Easy to say.
Not so easy to do.
Especially when you lose 'em.
Sometimes you have to let them go.
They're all so fragile.
One nut with a gun, one drug addict behind the wheel, and they're just gone.
That bus accident yesterday.
You know they found amphetamines all over that son of a bitch's car? Yeah, people do crazy things on drugs, and other people get killed.
I'm looking for a friend, Brian Cullen.
Wait.
Please? Brian? Duncan, my friend.
Sleep the sleep of angels, MacLeod.
No, thanks.
I wanna know what happened back there with Zoltan Laszlo.
He was my gift to you.
I knew you could handle him.
Did you? No, he's still out there.
What's happening, Brian? I've never seen you run from a fight before.
Is that what you thought I was doing? That's what you did.
Why? It's pretty obvious.
I was scared to death.
Never thought it would happen, did you? You and me both.
This helps me to forget what I am and what's waiting out there.
Everyone's afraid sometimes.
I never was.
Don't ever be the best, MacLeod.
Everyone wants a shot at the best.
God help you, if you lose your nerve, and they keep comin'.
This isn't the answer.
Let me help you.
Go away.
You've interrupted my dreams.
So, what's up? Excellent.
I told you.
See? I deal only quality merchandise.
This is uncut.
It's, uh, 1,500.
Whatever.
Here.
All right.
All right.
You oughta lighten up on that.
I'm havin' a bad day.
Well, uh, listen.
You know, you're, uh-- You're becoming one of my best clients, and I'd hate to see you wind up, you know, dead.
Don't worry about it.
I have a high threshold.
Yeah.
Right.
Don't move! Hands in the air! Both of you! Stupid decision.
Stay put.
Stay where you are or I'll take you down! Excellent quality.
Mac.
What's up? Your boy Cullen's upstairs.
I had to get him outta the dojo.
He's higher than a kite.
I'll take care of it.
This guy, Mac.
He doesn't seem like your type.
He needs help.
Well, you'd think that after living all these years he might know better.
Yeah.
What the hell are you doing, Brian? Nothin'.
You wanna join me? Guess not.
I'll help you, but you're gonna have to stop putting that stuff up your nose.
What makes you think I need your help? You're here.
Just need a place to hang.
You got a problem with that? What? I'm trying to remember who you used to be.
There wasn't a better swordsman in all of Europe, or a better friend.
Don't pity me, MacLeod.
One day, it'll be you.
Can't keep your nerve forever.
Always lookin' over your shoulder for a guy with a sword.
It's easier just to let go.
Immortality isn't one long fencing match.
What about all the times we've had? All the things we've seen? I forgot.
We're the lucky ones.
I'd trade it all in a minute.
We don't get to choose.
Is it worth less because it's longer? Longer.
We could lose our heads tomorrow.
There can be only one.
What kind of immortality is that? Nobody knows how long we have.
A week, a year, a century.
We either live it, or we throw it away.
Don't lecture me.
This is my life.
That's right.
It is.
But when you slam your car into a bus, you don't die.
Other people do! - That's mine! - Not anymore.
- You don't think I don't know what you're doing? - I'm trying to save your life! Right.
You figure without the drugs, you can take me.
Well, try it.
- I'm still the toughest son of a bitch on the block.
- You're wrong.
Right here, right now.
Go away, Cullen.
Who's afraid now? There's plenty more.
Keep it, MacLeod.
You're gonna need it.
Hello? Hi.
Am I interrupting anything? No, I was, uh, just saying good-bye to an old friend.
So, um, are we having dinner tonight? Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Look at you.
All dressed up and no place to go.
Not exactly.
So, you got a date.
None of your business.
That's a yes.
Who is she? Do I know her? Where ya gonna take her? Was it the "none" part or the "your business" part you didn't understand? All right.
All right.
I can take a hint.
So I noticed.
So, like, um, you want me to wait up for ya? I tell you what.
I'm just gonna let you be, 'cause, like, I got a ton of things to do here.
I mean, I gotta mop the floors and ceilings and-- But you have a good time! Okay, Mac? I'll see ya later! Do you do this often? To long, out of court settlements.
To first impressions.
You don't like champagne? I like champagne.
I'm on call.
Pity.
Do you dance? Like a giraffe on roller skates.
I doubt that.
Oh, it's true.
In high school, when all the other girls were wearing prom dresses, I was dissecting frogs for extra credit.
Well, I'm sure that little girl in the emergency room was glad that you did.
You were watching me? For how long? Long enough to know that you have a real gift.
You still wanna dance? It's all right.
I won't bite.
I knew this was too good to be true.
You have to leave.
No, I don't.
Yes, I do.
You know, it's not always like this.
Okay, I lied.
It is always like this.
It's okay.
Really.
Bye.
Richie? You don't have to prove anything to me.
Come on! Do it.
Do it! Next time, I'm not gonna walk away.
Mac? What are you doing here so late? Well, you asked me to manage the place.
I'm managing.
Oh, boy.
Must have been a hell of a date.
What happened to you? Cullen.
Oh, man.
You mean the lady saw the light show, huh? - There wasn't a light show.
- You left him alive? He's got problems, Richie.
He's gonna pull himself through.
Mac, think again.
He was gonna kill your ass.
It's not him.
It's the drugs.
Come in.
Easy.
Just take your time.
All right.
All right.
Right there.
Ya stinkin' bastard.
Get back! Who's next? Touch me again, I'll cut your hearts out.
Brian.
MacLeod.
What are you trying to do? Watch your back.
Sons of bitches tried to get me.
No one's trying to get you, Brian.
Let him go.
No.
No.
He tried to take my head.
He was bring you opium, like you asked him.
They're everywhere.
Just 'cause you can't feel 'em, doesn't mean they won't come for ya.
Take a good look at him.
Go on.
He's scared to death.
No one's gonna hurt you.
Put the sword down.
Help me.
Please.
Let's take you home.
Mac, he's just-- He's not that guy anymore.
I know he was your friend, and I'm sure he was the best, but now he's just a stone cold junkie.
How could he do that to himself? Fear.
It can take your soul, your heart.
That's comforting.
You ever cross that line? There are critical moments in everybody's life, Richie, when it can go one way or another.
I think who you are can depend on who you meet.
I mean, who would I be if Connor MacLeod had never found me? Or if I'd never met Fitzcairn or Tessa or you.
Well, I know who I'd be if I hadn't met you.
I'd be dead.
You think you can be that guy for Cullen too? Don't know.
Maybe it's too late.
You're a very scary guy.
Sorry.
You need more stuff, right? Right.
All right.
Crystal meth.
I've been savin' it just for you.
There's no more.
That's it.
I need more.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
You need more.
All right.
Take it.
Take it.
Yeah.
Thanks, Harry.
Thank you.
Now, get the hell outta here.
Right! Hello.
Brian? I need help, Duncan.
I'm trying to kick, but I can't get through.
Come to my place.
I can't drive.
All right.
Where are you? Brian? Brian! Brian! Duncan! Run your kilt off! Hang on, Duncan! That's it! Still the best! Still the best! On the top! Good-bye, Brian.
No.
I believe you mentioned it.
Yes, but, um-- - Hi.
- Oh, hi.
You been here long? No.
I'm sorry.
I didn't get off when I thought I would.
Yeah, I couldn't get off when I thought I could, either.
Rough night? Nightmares.
Let me buy you breakfast.
Come on.
And here we are ?? We're the princes of the universe Here we belong fighting for survival We've come to be the rulers of your world I am immortal I have inside me blood of kings Yeah! I have no rival No man can be my equal Take me to the future of your world Closed-Captioned by
