Hi.
Jill here? No.
I don't know where she is.
We had a little misunderstanding.
I need to talk to her.
Well, I told you, she's not here.
Don't you get it? My sister doesn't want any part of you.
- I know she's here.
- Leave her alone.
Jill! - Jill, wait! - No! Get away! Jill! Please, I just wanna talk.
Jill, stop the car.
No.
Get out of the way! - Jill! Come on, Jill.
- No! Please.
Jill! Duncan, telephone.
Yeah, I noticed.
I hope you saved me some hot water.
Well, I did offer to share, didn't I? MacLeod.
David? It's been, uh, ages.
Why a church? Fifteen minutes.
- Anything wrong? - No, I don't think so.
Just an old friend.
Oh.
Do you mind letting yourself out? Sure.
I have to be at work in about an hour.
All right.
Um this is my key to the elevator.
Meet you later? Yeah.
Meet you at Joe's? Yeah, okay.
Anne.
Oh.
Hi.
Hi! Uh, I was just leaving.
Doughnut? Oh, no.
That stuff will kill ya.
Chocolate.
Really? Yeah.
Go for it.
Thanks.
Are you Duncan MacLeod? You just missed him.
Uh, yeah, he'll be back later.
- Can I tell him who's looking for him? - No.
- Is there anything we can do to help? - I need to talk to MacLeod.
Well, I'm Anne, and this is Richie.
We're friends of his.
- Would you like to stay? - No, I can't.
Excuse me.
Strange.
Scared.
That'd be perfect.
That'll be fine.
Duncan! Thanks for comin', man.
Why are we meeting on holy ground? It's a matter of life and death.
I'm gettin' married.
Really? Congratulations.
That's great.
I'm really happy for you.
On Sunday.
Duncan, I want you to be my best man.
Absolutely.
Thanks for coming with me, Duncan.
I want you to be my best man.
Let the lady say yes first, David.
Where did you meet her? Her father's ships are bringing in the lumber for the houses that I'm building.
You should see her, Duncan.
The way she laughs, the way she looks at me.
She's the one.
I even brought the ring.
Do I look all right? You did until a moment ago.
Huh.
Who would have thought it? Fifty years ago I was an indentured servant.
Had to ask my master's permission to cross the street.
You're nobody's indentured servant now.
It's a new world.
Here.
Now you look a perfect gentleman.
Hello, Reginald.
Good day.
Is Miss Julia home? Oh, certainly, sir.
Thank you.
I'm so sorry, Roger, but I've already promised Mr.
Southwood.
Perhaps another day.
Nice to see you, Mr.
Keogh.
What can we do for you? Well, I, uh-- I had hoped to speak to you alone, sir.
Is there a problem? There's nothing wrong with our mahogany, I hope.
No, no.
Nothing like that.
It's about-- It's about your daughter, Miss Julia.
What business could you possibly have with my daughter? Um, I had hoped to discuss the possibility of marriage, sir.
Marriage? - Hmph.
Are you ridiculing me, or are you insane? Maybe this is not the right time.
Why not? No, I want-- I wish-- I wish to say I wish to marry your daughter, sir.
I invite you into my home, and this is the advantage you take? You come in here, speak this way in front of my wife? Who do you think you are? I am a free man.
I am a businessman, like you.
And Julia and I love each other.
Leave my home.
Perhaps we should take our leave.
Tell him, Julia.
Tell him what you told me! Tell him how we feel! You come from nowhere.
You have no family.
Do you believe I would allow my daughter to marry a tradesman? I'd just as soon she'd marry Reginald here.
We love each other.
Julia.
You told me.
You promised.
Reginald, see Mr.
Keogh out.
Tell him the truth, Julia.
Julia! You obviously misinterpreted my kindness as affection.
Julia! You love me! I love you! I will not tell you again! We're able to find our own way out.
Come.
Good day to you all.
So what do you think? You always were a master craftsman.
It's great.
Got a little workshop upstate.
Special orders only.
There's a six-month waiting list for those rockers.
That's how I met Jill.
She's a decorator.
She asked me to bump one of her clients up to the head of the list.
Did you? Maybe.
Okay.
Yeah, I did.
She took me out to dinner to thank me.
Guess that was about a year ago now.
She practically had to drag me out of that workshop.
It's been a long time for me, Duncan.
I thought it would never happen to me again.
Well, you were due.
- That'll be Richie.
- New student.
Yeah.
Lucky guy.
Dave Keogh.
Richie Ryan.
Nice to meet you.
You guys hungry? You want some food? No, we're meeting Anne in a couple of minutes.
Can I grab one of these? Help yourself.
Thanks.
So, did that woman come by? Who? Anne didn't call you? No.
This woman stopped by this morning after you left.
She said she needed to talk to you, but wouldn't say what it was about.
Did she leave a name? No.
She wouldn't even come in the door.
What'd she look like? In her 20s, brunette, really cute, scared to death.
Sound familiar? No.
She comes by again, get her to wait.
You got it.
Be back in about an hour.
Ready? Actually, I'm wiped.
I don't really feel like going back to Jill's place.
Is it okay if I crash here for a little while, catch up with you later? You sure? Yeah, if you don't mind.
Well, make yourself at home.
Richie? Leave the place clean.
Yo.
Sure.
One in a million.
You got that right.
Wish the guy who found me would've been more like him.
It wasn't Mac? No.
He wasn't my teacher, but he sure taught me a lot.
When I was born, you could buy an eight-year-old boy from the orphanage for less than the price of a pig, bind him in an apprenticeship like a slave until he was 21.
After I changed, the Immortal that found me treated me the same way-- like a pack animal.
Duncan was the first person I ever met that treated me like I was worth something.
I've been there, man.
You're back! Come in.
Is he here? Duncan MacLeod? I hate to say it, but you just missed him again.
I told him you came by, though, and he said to wait.
I'm really sorry.
Is there, uh, something I can do for you? He's the only one who can help me.
Hmm.
Okay.
Jill! Sweetheart, I'm glad you came by.
I went by the church this morning, and I talked to Pastor Reeves.
We're all set for Sunday.
Get away from me! Hey, David! What's up, man? It's wedding jitters.
I had them myself.
Go back to your place, and I'll give you a nice massage.
Don't! You're not listening to me, David! David, let's take it easy.
David, I don't think she wants to go with you, man.
- Get out of my way.
- David, stop this! Let's talk about this, man.
I said move! Jill! Now, look, let's just calm down.
Mac will be back soon, we'll sort this thing out.
Don't do this, David.
Get between us again, and I'll kill you.
So how long have you known him for? There you go.
Years.
Really? Well, I can't wait to meet him.
How formal is it? I'm not sure.
What time is it? Uh I don't know, actually.
- You have a thing about weddings, don't you? - I love weddings.
Oh, well, where I come from, the best man usually knows these things.
I only found out a couple of hours ago.
Okay.
Okay.
You ever been married before? Nope.
You? No.
Ever come close? Couple of times.
Yeah? Me too.
How come you didn't? Ah, just didn't work out.
Why is that? I guess I'd better be going.
I'm sure there's loads of things I've gotta do before Sunday.
If you don't feel like talking about this, it's really okay.
It's not that I don't want to talk.
Duncan.
Someday.
I promise.
This doesn't make any sense, Richie.
They're supposed to be getting married.
Not unless it's a shotgun wedding.
I'm telling you, Mac.
She doesn't want anything to do with him.
I'll talk to him.
If I were you, I'd be careful.
He's not pulling his punches.
I think he broke some ribs.
You'll be all right.
I know.
That's not what I mean.
Mac, you don't understand.
One minute this guy was there, then the next-- boom! He's trying to take my head.
And he's not kidding around.
I mean, this girl came in, and he just freaked.
He totally lost it.
Now, what the hell is this all about? Here we go! Ho! Bow to your partner.
Do-si-do.
Sashay down the line! Back to the start and do-si-do.
One more time down the line.
Oh, it's a long time since I danced.
Well, you'd never know it.
Flatterer.
Well, my apologies.
I like it.
Have I told you how happy you make me? In the past two months, about a half a dozen times.
But I don't remember.
You better tell me again.
I'm serious.
A few years ago, I lost someone.
Mama! Look what we caught! Looks like MacLeod taught you well today.
MacLeod almost went swimming.
And we saw a moose and an eagle.
Tomorrow we hunt the bear, please? Uh-- Think you better just stick with the fish.
I'm not afraid of the bear.
See what MacLeod gave me? It's very strong medicine, only for warriors.
What about the bear? Well, first the deer, then we'll hunt the bear.
Aah! Go on.
Go practice your bow.
You and Kahani are all I'll ever need.
You're so handsome.
Sometimes I forget that you're really a white man.
Like the blue coats? Hmm.
I watch when you can't sleep at night.
I know that you're thinking about them.
They're getting closer every day.
This is a wide land.
If the soldiers come, we'll just move.
How much room do they want? As much as they can take.
I think that you are too serious.
Kahani, I thought I told you to play with your bow.
I've been on my own ever since.
I never thought I'd feel this way again.
And how do you feel? Like I'm alive.
Like I'm not alone.
You're not alone, Duncan.
I wouldn't want to lose you, Sarah.
Let's go home.
I could stay like this forever.
Let's.
What? Stay this way forever.
That was just silly talk.
We could get married.
We could buy the old Allen house, be together.
We are together.
We could honeymoon in Paris or China.
I could leave the newspaper.
There are things about me you have to know-- Duncan.
I don't have to know.
There is no past.
We didn't exist until now.
What about our future? What about tomorrow? No, not tomorrow.
Mmm, no future, no past.
I know everything I need to know right here.
Mmm.
Right now.
No more questions.
All right.
How you doin'? Hey, Jake.
Give me one of your finest whiskeys, please.
Fella at the end, he's been asking about Sarah.
Says he needs to find her.
Name's Duncan MacLeod.
Hear you're looking for Sarah Carter.
About right.
You know her? Yeah, I know her.
Duncan MacLeod.
Henry Carter.
You her brother? Nope.
Husband.
Sarah ain't married.
I got the ring.
I got the minister's word.
You're a liar! You crazy? She's my wife.
I've come to take her home.
You're not taking her anywhere! The hell I'm not! Get the sheriff, and get Sarah! She's not your wife! Don't you touch her! She's my wife.
Don't you ever touch her! Duncan! Duncan! Don't you ever touch her! Get off of him.
Stop! Don't you touch her.
Henry.
Henry, are you all right? Yes.
Sarah? What did you do? Jake.
Help me get him outside to the wagon.
Sarah, you can't leave.
He's my husband.
But you don't love him.
I married him.
It's not his fault I wasn't cut out to be a farmer's wife.
He's a good man, and he's always been good to me.
What about us? There is no us.
Sarah, I love you! You love me so much, you almost killed him! Sarah.
I'm sorry, Duncan.
Sarah! Bye.
Work through the anger.
Work through the pain.
I thought you were gone.
A hundred years of forgetting, and it all comes back.
Why is it I can still taste you? David knows the thoughts, the pain, the obsession.
Let it go.
He has to.
He wasn't at Jill's.
I drove to his workshop, but he wasn't there.
He's probably looking for her.
Let's hope he doesn't find her.
Just wish we could talk to her, find out what happened.
Now's your chance.
Thanks.
Did he tell you how we met? Yeah.
His woodwork.
I'd never seen anything like it.
I told him he must have a very old soul to understand wood like that.
Little did I know.
We were happy.
Everything seemed so perfect.
Then one day I came home, and he said, "Honey, come here.
I have something to show you.
" And then he took a knife, and he-- Then he healed him.
He said I had to know.
And I wish he never told me.
He loves you.
He had to tell you.
Mr.
MacLeod, I have a picture of how I want my life to be.
Duncan.
Kids.
Grandkids.
A family.
It may sound stupid, but it's what I see.
So, you called it off.
But he won't let me, and he won't leave me alone.
He nearly beat a guy to death just for talking to me.
He told me that you're like him.
He trusts you, respects you, so he'll listen to you.
You're my only hope.
You'll explain this to him, won't you? I'll try.
You'll be fine.
Where is she? Jill! Thank God you're all right.
I was worried about you.
What's she doing here? We've gotta talk, David.
There's nothin' to talk about.
Jill, come on.
Let's go home.
David, stop it.
Stop what? What's goin' on here? Give it a rest, Dave.
Nothing's going on here.
Jill wanted me to talk to you.
I think she can talk to me herself.
She's tried that, David.
David, she doesn't want to marry you.
She wants you to leave her alone.
How do you know what she wants? Jill.
I know it's gonna take a little getting used to, but we'll work it out.
She can't do it, David.
Jill, I need you.
All I want is for us to be together.
You said you loved me.
- She said she wasn't interested.
- Get your hands off her! - She's mine, goddamn it! - Stop it, David! Enough! David.
David, stop it! Hi.
Well, don't all speak at once.
Come on, Jill.
Let's go.
No.
Stop doing this.
Can't you see what you're doing? I'm not doing anything but trying to take my wife home.
Hi, I'm Anne.
We met this morning.
Would you like to come back to my place? We can talk.
Anne, I don't think that's a good idea for you to get in the middle of this.
I think it's best.
What do you say? - Like hell! - Yeah, I think I'd like that.
Okay.
No, David.
Wait.
Please! I need you! No.
Jill! MacLeod, don't do this to me! No! If I could just talk to her, I could get her to understand.
She can't handle it.
She'll learn.
She won't learn.
She doesn't want to learn.
You can't force her to marry you.
You don't know that.
She's not your wife.
She's not yours either, David.
Go away, Duncan.
I just want to talk.
There's nothing to talk about.
Sarah, please.
Mister, get back on your horse and get off my land.
Sarah, please.
Go home.
Come with me.
I left the newspaper.
We can be together.
It's over.
- No, it's not.
- You heard her.
Now go.
It can't be, Sarah.
You love me.
- I told you to stay away from her.
- Please go away! - I can't.
- Another step, and you're a dead man! No! It's over.
Sarah? - Sarah! Don't be afraid.
Listen to me.
Let me explain.
I wanted to tell you.
I wanted you to know everything about me.
No, I don't wanna know.
I love you, Sarah.
Please, whoever you are, whateveryou are, if you do love me, you'll go away and leave me in peace! Sarah! Have a sip of that.
Thanks.
Did you sleep okay last night? Not so great.
Do you want to talk? I don't think you'd believe me.
Try me.
Sometimes it helps.
Really, I don't think you want to know.
Trust me-- not knowing is better.
I don't believe that.
Look, I know that, uh, things must seem really bad for you right now, but I've seen many women in the same spot that you're in, and you don't have to be afraid of him.
There are things you can do.
David and Duncan aren't like other guys.
What do you mean? We have to go.
Why? Because David left my apartment an hour ago.
He'll find her.
He doesn't know where I live, does he? But he knows who you are.
He'll find out.
Is there anywhere you can go while I handle this? He's never gonna stop.
Never! He's gonna keep following me.
You know this.
I'll talk to him again.
She does not have to keep running away from this guy.
We can call the police and get a restraining order.
The police can't stop him.
There's only one thing that can stop him, and you know it.
You have to.
What is she talking about? - Are you going to do it or not? - Do what? I'll make him see reason.
I'll try and keep him away from you.
You're not gonna do it.
All right, this is ridiculous.
I'm calling the police.
Anne, don't.
It is the only way, Duncan.
You think talking is gonna stop this guy? You think that, spend Saturday night in the emergency ward with me.
These guys do not stop until somebody is dead.
I said don't.
Jill? No! It's okay.
I understand.
You never have to be afraid of me.
Look, I can't help being who I am.
Just because we're different doesn't mean we can't be together.
No.
Please, just leave me alone.
We can make it okay.
Just talk to me.
I don't wanna talk.
Don't you get it? I just want it to be over.
It's that woman at MacLeod's, isn't it? She thinks there's something wrong with me.
Jill.
We'll talk it out.
Just come back inside.
No.
I said come back inside! Come back home.
Jill, please.
Jill, you're gonna hurt yourself out there.
No! Jill? Jill.
Oh, God.
David! Get back inside.
Stay there.
- Oh! - Jill, come back over.
- He won't leave me alone.
- Yes, he will, Jill.
I'll make sure he will.
- Come back.
- I can't.
Yes, you can.
Just give me your hand.
That's it.
- I got you! Jill! I didn't mean this.
Why? All I ever wanted was to have what other people have.
What am I gonna do now? You walk out with me, right now.
You always told me we could have real lives, real happiness.
It was a lie.
You never wanted me to have her.
This is what you wanted.
David, you know that's not true.
Liar! Were you jealous? Is that what it was? David, stop it! Everything was fine until you interfered.
- Listen to yourself.
Everything wasn't fine! - You lying bastard! - Put the sword down.
Go to hell! Finish it, MacLeod, because if you don't, I'm comin' for ya.
Then you come for me.
You okay? I should have stopped him.
I should have gotten there sooner.
Duncan, it was an accident.
Yeah, but I keep thinking, there's something else I could have done, found the right thing to say-- Shh.
It's okay.
He wasn't always like that.
He just needed so much.
Where is he now? I don't know.
Are you going to try to find him? No.
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
