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 Sh-- Move it! Claude, is that you? Oh, Simone.
How come you're not working? I'm on my way.
The damn car just died on me.
- You think you could have a look? - Sorry.
I-I'm on the job.
Come on.
You're not going to leave me here? At least give me a lift to the Metro.
Please.
Son of a bitch.
That's no way to talk in front of a lady.
Let's all try and get out of this alive.
Okay? - What's going on, Simone? -I bet the bullet goes right through you and into him.
What do you think? Sorry about this, Claude.
Okay.
I want you boys to get out of the van real slowly.
Easy.
Come on! Thank you.
Okay, sweetheart, do your thing.
Isn't she sweet? But I guess you know that already, huh? And smart too.
Watch 'em, will you? Beautiful.
Just like you, my love.
Time to go.
Get the bike.
Please! Please, I have a wife and two children.
Please.
- I hate kids.
Nobody was supposed to get hurt.
They were gonna kill me.
What was I supposed to do? Come on.
Let's go.
The brush work, the texture.
It's an original.
You made a good buy, Franklin.
I know.
What's up? Remember the da Vinci sketch? From theNotebooks, the one with the slight damage in the right-hand corner.
It was stolen last night on the way to the buyer.
Three million dollars down the drain.
Ten years I've been in the business.
Nothing like this ever happened.
Well, at least you're insured.
Don't tell me.
The premium was outrageous.
I-- I thought I was being creative.
Franklin, you're a dealer, not an artist.
What made you become creative now? I've done it before.
I put the painting in an ambulance with a couple of guards.
Who robs an ambulance? Who else knew it was traveling last night? Nobody.
Have the police contacted the guards? They can't.
They're dead.
And now the bastards want to sell it back to me.
I got a call a couple of hours ago.
They're gonna tell me when and where tomorrow.
Let me guess.
No police.
How did I let this happen? I'll make the exchange.
I can't ask you to do that.
You're not asking.
I'm offering.
Oh, what can you do that I can't? You'd be surprised.
Bonsoir.
Nice to see you.
I'm so glad you are here.
So will I be if the bouillabaisse is as good as it was last week.
It's better.
I hope so.
I'm starving.
Come.
There is someone I want you to meet.
Maurice, I know matchmaking's your favorite pastime.
No, no.
Nothing like that.
She's my niece.
Really.
Mm.
Come.
Simone Tomas, my beautiful niece.
And this is my good friend, Duncan MacLeod.
- Hi.
- Nice to meet you.
You two don't look anything alike.
Of course not.
She's gorgeous.
Like a model.
My first wife's sister.
Her mother was a-- I get the picture.
Right.
Sit, sit.
Actually, I was just leaving.
But you haven't finished eating.
I can't wait.
No, you don't.
Who works at 10:00 at night? People with ambition? Thanks.
Some other time.
The girl has no life-- no time to eat, no time to talk.
Maybe she's just busy.
She's avoiding me.
She pretends there is nothing wrong.
I was hoping you'd talk to her.
Well, she doesn't even know me.
You have a special way with women.
Maurice-- Women love you.
They trust you, and, more important,Itrust you.
- All right.
I'll take her out to lunch.
- Ah.
Wonderful.
She loves Italian food.
Just show her a good time.
But not too good.
The bouillabaisse.
$100,000.
It's all here.
I was up all night.
I can't let you do this for me.
They've killed two guards already.
Franklin, how many kids do you have? Four.
And what happens to them if something happens to you? Be careful, Duncan.
Don't do anything foolish.
Do I ever? And, MacLeod, I almost forgot.
What are these for? They want to make sure it's me.
Don't turn around, Mr.
Waterman.
I've got a gun.
Just leave the money on the bench and walk away.
The drawing will be delivered to the gallery this afternoon.
- Simone? - Don't turn around.
I'll shoot.
So, shoot.
All I want is the money.
All right? No.
Please.
You have to give it to me.
No! Let go of it.
Sit down.
Now, what's this about? It'll be best for both of us if you do what you're supposed to.
Where's the da Vinci? - I'm just gonna talk to your boss.
- He won't like this.
I don't care.
What are you, a cop or something? Or something.
I would have been much happier if I could have stayed at home.
Oh, stop complaining.
You-- You said the account was opened in 1837.
Yes.
It was opened by my great-great grandfather.
I suppose he had an eye to the future.
Oh.
Oh, my goodness.
Here it is.
That's 10,000 francs at five percent interest over 93 years.
You have over one million francs.
Really.
I hope monsieur is not planning to withdraw it.
Oh, no.
Not today.
Perhaps I should put it in a checking account.
Monsieur? Everybody stay calm.
Nobody gets hurt.
Do whatever they want.
Do whatever they want.
Fill it.
Okay, everybody, I want your cash and your wallets and your jewelry.
I taught him everything he knows.
You must be very proud.
Just making a buck.
It's nothing personal.
So long as nobody gets hurt, we can keep it that way.
You got a deal.
It's not a deal.
It's a warning.
Thank you.
What? Shh.
Don't be frightened.
I can't-- I can't get it off.
Then keep it.
It's my gift to you.
Thank you.
Some other time, huh? That's better.
Ooh! The ring.
It's stuck.
No! Don't! My God! No! Hey! Everyone on the floor! This way.
Well, well, well.
I warned you.
Catch.
Cheating again, huh? This doesn't have to be between us if you don't make it between us.
Duncan MacLeod.
- You know him? I should have called the police.
They still want the money.
They'll call you again, and, when they do, you call me.
It's only a sketch, Duncan, a piece of paper.
You could've been hurt, killed.
Let me worry about that.
No.
I won't have it on my conscience.
Leave it! Please.
Oh.
You are a little early, my friend, but I'm sure Antoine can give you a little something.
He does a gazpacho superb.
I'm not really hungry tonight, Maurice.
I have to talk to you.
About Simone, yes? Yeah.
She told me she saw you in the park.
Did she? I knew you would know what to tell her.
Brilliant.
A trip.
It's just what she needs.
I'm sure it is.
She said it was your little talk that convinced her to go.
Oh, well, hmm, glad I could help.
Did she say where she was planning on going? Italy.
The perfect place.
Florence.
Rome.
I gave her a little money for the ticket.
You're a good uncle, Maurice.
Mm-hmm.
Do you have her address? Maybe I can stop by and say bon voyage.
Of course.
She will be happy to see you again.
I hope you catch her before she leaves.
Me too.
Bye.
Bye.
What am I supposed to do with you? If you don't want to work here, just say so.
This house has a reputation, okay? Hello, Simone.
Go.
Bonsoir,Simone.
Bonsoir, Madame.
He's in your room.
He's been here two hours, and he won't see anyone but you.
Simone.
Is there anything you want to tell me? No.
Why? I've seen his kind before.
They bring trouble.
Not to me.
All right.
Off you go.
Simone.
Don't fall in love with him.
I've been waiting for you.
I got some money from my uncle.
We can get out of town.
The car's downstairs.
There's no need to hurry.
What do you mean there's no need to hurry? MacLeod saw us.
He knows me.
He'll go to the police.
He won't go to the police.
Trust me.
Hi.
I'm lookin fo-- Uh-- Ah.
Yeah, um-- Uh-- Hi.
Hello.
Um, no.
I was just-- I was looking for someone.
May I help you, monsieur? Uh, yeah.
I was looking for a friend.
Aren't we all? As you please.
No, actually, I don't see her here at the moment.
Her name's Simone.
Oh, I'm sorry, monsieur.
Simone is, uh, otherwise engaged.
Well, in that case, it's probably the guy she's with that I'm interested in.
Well, in that case, monsieur, I think you're in the wrong house.
I don't think so.
Go ahead.
Pick it up.
What for? We both know where this is gonna lead.
Pick it up! It's not like this world is gonna miss me or anything.
Pick it up.
You know, MacLeod, if I'm not a prince, it's because I wasn't raised by a king.
Maybe if you'd found me instead of Tarsis.
Come and get it, Kagan.
That's my knife! Give it back! Give it to me! Give it back! No! Leave me alone! No! Go back to your mama, sissy! We did it again.
You know, Kagan, you're still too slow.
What are you talking about? That guard, he almost had you.
You're sloppy.
You're slow.
You're an amateur, and amateurs don't get paid.
What are you doing? Half that's mine! You get it when you've earned it.
Okay.
Okay.
Not bad.
Not bad at all.
You know, this is a great day for you, Kagan.
Today, you become immortal.
I should be dead.
You'll be all right.
Here.
Try a swig of this.
What did you do to me? I made you great.
You've never been stronger or faster.
Now you'll stay that way.
You and me, Kagan, we've got a lot to talk about.
We're gonna be raising hell forever.
Everything I am is what he made me.
Including a murderer.
They were gonna shoot us, shoot Simone.
What was I supposed to do? You weren't supposed to even be there.
Don't! No, MacLeod.
Don't hurt him.
Please.
Just take the picture.
I don't want it.
Just don't hurt him.
You want the picture? Fine.
You want me to go to prison? I'll go to prison.
I'll do whatever you say.
If I find out you're lying to me about those two men-- I swear.
So do I.
I owe you my life, Duncan.
Let's not exaggerate, shall we? Okay.
How about my house, my children's education, maybe my marriage and my eternal gratitude? Well, the last one, I'll take.
So, how did you do it? Does it matter? Oh, what do I tell the police? Whatever you like so long as you keep my name out of it.
You can't be serious.
I'll think of something.
Thanks.
Gotta go.
To you, Duncan.
So, how'd it go? Was he happy? So everything's cool, right? For the moment.
That's great.
Just because I let you live doesn't mean we're friends.
Fair enough.
So, that's it? Not quite.
Stay away from Simone.
But I love her.
Then do her a favor.
You don't like me, do you? You really think I like being a thief, that I wouldn't rather be like you than me? I never learned how.
If you've got 'em down, you never let them get up.
Mercy is for fools and priests.
Who died and made you God? You talk of people.
How long have you been on the streets? What do you care? Let go of me! I'll tell you how long.
All your life.
You never had parents.
You never had anyone to look after you.
I don't need anybody.
That's where you're wrong.
You have no idea what you are.
And from now on, you're mine.
Get a job.
Earn something instead of stealing it.
Maybe you can help me.
I'm not a social worker.
Yeah.
It's open.
- May I come in? - Sure.
I thought you'd be halfway across the country by now.
If you were going to call the cops, they would have found me already.
I can't say I didn't think about it.
But you didn't.
Why not? Because your uncle's a very good friend of mine.
It would break his heart.
Looking for Simone? It's none of your business.
Wrong.
Get out of my way.
Tell me, what does she do for that wrinkled old body of yours that you like so much? Stay away from her.
After my mother died, my father fell apart.
He started depending on me to be my mother and not just for companionship.
I was 10 years old.
Daddy's approval meant so much to me that I would do anything he asked.
And he asked.
Did you tell anybody about this? There was no one to tell.
What about Maurice? He was a basket case.
His wife died in the same accident my mom did.
He crawled into a bottle of brandy and stayed there for five years.
When he dried out, it didn't matter anymore.
It matters.
Oh? To whom? To you? Yeah.
And Maurice.
MacLeod.
Maurice.
What happened to your hand? It's nothing.
I cut it at work.
I didn't know you were here.
There's a lot of things you don't know, but I'm sure your friend here will fill you in.
Thanks for everything.
Why don't you, uh, stay for a while? I gotta go.
I'll be right back, Maurice.
Simone.
If you don't like what you are, you can change it.
We'll help you.
I'll think about it.
How did those two men die in the robbery? How would I know? She's always in a hurry.
Surprise.
Oh.
Lucas.
I thought you were gone.
Without you? Impossible, my love.
So.
We've talked about the weather, the wine.
When are we going to talk about Simone? Well, Simone is, uh, what she is, Maurice.
She's my friend.
I know, Duncan.
What do you know? I know about Simone.
I've been suspecting all along.
What she was, what she is.
Tonight, I went to her apartment to talk to her.
One of her clients knows how to use a stiletto.
Tall, 25, good-looking? You know him? Where are you going? I'm so glad you came back.
I noticed.
I'm gonna get you out of this life, get you away from this-- this hellhole.
I want you to do something for me.
I want you to call MacLeod, get him over here.
What for? Don't ask me to do this.
You said you'd do anything for me.
Not this.
You've been doing him, and you've been doing the old man who I stuck tonight.
You stabbed Maurice? Is that his name? Get out.
Just get out.
No one sends me away.
Nobody.
Simone! Simone.
Come on.
Au revoir, monsieur.
I told them nothing, like you asked.
Thanks.
Can you make it home okay? I'm going to get a gun and kill that bastard.
Maurice, go home.
I'll find him.
But-- I'll take care of this, but I have to do it on my own.
But I'm responsible.
No, you're not.
Go on.
Go home.
It's a pity we abolished the guillotine, monsieur, because that's what a murderer deserves.
Do you know where I can find Kagan? Won't do any good.
- That kind, they never pay the price.
- Sometimes they do.
There is a woman, someone he used to see before Simone.
She lives at Thanks.
I hope you find him.
So do I.
Hey, MacLeod.
How's things? Nice bike.
Get up! What the hell is this about? Simone.
She's dead.
Dead? I tried to get her out of the business.
I warned her.
You never know who you're gonna go home with.
So it was one of her customers? Who else? Where were you last night? I was with a friend of mine.
Ask her.
She lives here.
Really.
I swear.
Look, you told me to stay away from Simone.
I stayed away.
Maybe if I hadn't, she'd still be alive.
Not that I think it's your fault or anything.
I guess I owe you an apology.
Go ahead.
Run, little boy, but I'll find you.
I didn't kill anyone.
I have an alibi.
This isn't a court of law.
You're crazy.
You're gonna kill an innocent man.
I never meant to harm anyone.
I don't care what you meant.
Looking for this? I've seen that one before.
This is an execution.
I never had a chance.
You had more of a chance than Simone did.
You have no idea what you are.
And from now on, you're mine.
It's not my fault.
He made me what I am.
I know.
This wasn't your fault.
No? She was only 10 when she lost everything.
Someone should have been there.
Sometimes you can't.
Sometimes you can't.
Ishould have been there.
If I had listened, if I had opened my eyes-- You would have done something.
Looking back, it's always easy to think of what you should have done.
Did you find the man who did this? The man who did this, Maurice, is dead.
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
